K-Pop Invasion

From this to THIS!

Local Darling to Asia's Rising Star

Come on, the whole Krung- Krung rush evinces the guilty feeling of
loss and the sudden mechanical urge of claiming it back. Right?

---------------------------------------------

I was, proudly, a K-pop follower back in secondary school until about 3 years ago. It's pretty amazing though that these days, it's becoming the center of attention in the local pop culture (Super Junior, 2NE1, and Wonder Girls). Thanks to Sandara Park, now "Dara," for the introduction. Imagine how people can get lucky!

These are the coolest artists back then (my faves, actually). Good enuff, some of them are still mainstream hot. Aha! DEFENSIVE! Obviously I'm getting older. What a shame! Haha. On the brighter side, I'm glad that I got to experience and enjoy these stuff! Sorry kids! The Original SM Town fever!

Shinhwa
Probably the best K-pop boyband of all time! I miss these guys!

Brian and Fany a.k.a Fly to the Sky
The hottest duo in K-pop history! I'm still trying to figure out what fitness regime they're in.
You can catch tutor Brian on Arirang! They got good education! Marry me Fany!

Boa
Still is K-pop's princess. Period.

Lee Hyori
Perfect dark skin, perfect body. Straight who? Haha.
The hottest thing on earth. Should be the Hottest woman in the world!

Se7en
This RNB man rose to stardom for his distinct moves.
I still go gaga over "Come Back to Me."

Kang Ta
K-pop's leading man! One of my first favorites.
Who doesn't remember H.O.T?

TVXQ
Dong Bang Shin Ki! Kids to chaps!

--------------------------------- ------------

This song brought me to K-pop (please don't ask when!).

Happy Birthday Chace Crawford!

It's a Muggle Thing!

It's hard not to compare between- wizards and vampires, Rowling and Meyer, Radcliffe and Pattinson, you and your rival. Lol. Right, a shifting trend: Harry Potter fans to Twilight fans. That's just the way it is. I do salute both sagas. Yet, I am a loyal Dumbledore kid (a pat on the head Albus thing to say!). Laudation to the muggles! Sad that everything has to end though. After HBP and the last installments, the HP rush will be over. Anyhoo, we all need to grow up and move on. Believe it or not, even Dudley did, unknowingly.

Life is indeed a moving novel. Oh crap, I didn't just say that!


Congratulations to the very articulate Daniel Radcliffe who hasn't only managed to exceptionally portray Harry, but has also inspired kids and loyales of all ages to realize that humility is a horcrux to success.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good. Still."

Hello, Yellow

I know! I've been very busy. I don't have a decent time to post these days. But it's totally uncool not to celebrate ten years of a sponge, worthy of a wax figure! Haha! And for all you know, Patrick is not the star!

Happy 10th Anniversary B!!!

Food Battle 2009

Honestly, I 'm not a youtube spud (except for URL use and emergencies haha) but I really enjoy those homemade Smosh videos. I'm a big fan of the Food Battle series since '06. Now, it's between Burrito and Corndog vs. Ian's fave pink-frosted, sprinkled donuts! Hilarious!

MJ left us with one important reminder:

If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change.

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
-Mahatma Gandhi

À tout à l'heure, 22

What about July 22? Nah, some random occurrence. Heck, NO!

July 22, 2009

A total eclipse of the Sun will take place and will be visible through some Asian countries and the Pacific Ocean. A partial eclipse will also be seen in most of South East Asia. It will last for up to 6 mins. and 39 secs. Reference: NASA

Solar Eclipse of July 22, 2009 is the longest Total Solar Eclipse of the 21st century!

Keep those binoculars ready and get lucky!

July 22, 2011

The First Avenger: Captain America

Steve Rogers and his alter ego will hit the movies in '11! We just love this charming, All-American Marvel hero! Will Smith has been rumored to play the role. Other choices (from different polls and possible casting lists) include Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Nathan Fillion, Mark Valley, Channing Tatum. Mhmm, interesting candidates! Chace Crawford, I wish.

My own personal picks? A tossup between:

Aaron Eckhart
*Maybe a villain in Dark Knight but the face and the voice = Capt. America!

Jensen Ackles

*Love him in Supernatural! Super Hero material.

Who should play Captain America?

Fed Express

Rodd-ick! Rodd-ick! Rodd-ick! Don't get me wrong, I love Roger Federer! He's a legend! I love both of them (not a Nadal fan!). They bring funtastic entertainment to the center court! To choose between the two's hard enough but I really wanted Andy to win. His fighting spirit is inspiring. The Fed ex Shakespearean Saga defeated the Roddick Comeback! I feel bad for Andy (the U-dog Syndrome). He looked tired (I've never seen anybody sweat like that!) while Roger looked calm and fresh. I wonder if he's wearing sweat-proofed/resistant gears or he had his sweat glands removed. Haha! Either way, he's just suave and effortless. Man, watching Day 13 was similar to doing drug tabulations back in college (margins took hours). I endured four hours of in-between Federer Rolex ads. Hahaha! With RF, Rolex has to promote Nike. Ironic, isn't it? Oh I wanted to see Gavin Rossdale cry! Lol.

Royal Fed Ex and A-Rod

Sportsmanship. Way to go A-Rod!

The Golden Boy, back as world's no. 1 (I want that 15-K RF jacket!)
and a very awkward Sampras *Love this pic!

Behind the scenes- on the set of Gossip Girl (June 29, 2009)

Love the new look! Natty hair.

Sun, sun, sun.. here it comes!

What's hotter than an Archibald and a Ferrari?

"Kat, I'll call you back."

Gulp, gulp, gulp.

Ahh, the anxiolitic smile!

Archibald and Waldorf

Charles Bass: "Here's the thing, I get to have Blair, Serena, and Vanessa.
I'm Chuck Bass."

Nate Archibald: "You get all the ladies this season, huh?"
Charles Bass: "Mhmm, exactly."

Nate Archibald: " Li'l Jenny!"
