TIME OF THE YEAR

  • Dec 31, 2009
  • 8 comments

I get people adding me to their neighbourhood.

I have to say I am not an adder back unless...

1 - I know the person.

It is as simple as that.

While some of my entries are public at the moment of posting, I would close them after a few days.

But I also know everything else is open to "friends and family" only so you would not be able to see them in the first place.

So, I am giving this New Year opportunity if you want to add me as a neighbour, please leave a comment about yourself and how you got here.

If you are not sure that I have you in my list, the picture below is only viewable to neighbourhood:

Though there is no guarantee that I will add you back just because.

UNTIL TOMORROW

Taking a break from Charice to bring Super Junior M's new music video "到了明天 (Blue Tomorrow)".

I cannot help it but every time when I listen to this song now, I am reminded of Mi's cracked voice and Kyu laughing his head off... Damn you, Kyu! 

Geng ah! No need to cry. I will buy you more sparklers next time and we can set things on fire together - preferably with seasoned chicken and beef over hot charcoal 8D

Siwon looks like an uncle.

Siwon looks like an uncle!

SIWON LOOKS LIKE AN UNCLE!

I am still laughing over that.

...

Nope. Still laughing.

They always seem to be stuck in suits/half-suits with bow ties/ties and exceptionally unflattering pants that even my dad would not be caught dead in. As Ris Low would say, "Those pants are SHINGZ."

CHARICE PEMPENGCO PART 2

  • 4 days ago
  • 1 comment

In 2008, Charice was invited to The Paul O'Grady's Show in London.

After which, OPRAH happened. Her 1st appearance there, she sang "I Have Nothing".

Her 2nd appearance, she sang the classic "My Heart Will Go On" (cue all the titanic fans) with accompaniment by the renowned music producer David Foster on piano.
But that is not all that Oprah has in store for her. Her dream of singing with Celine Dion was fulfilled as they crooned "Because You Loved Me" together for her mother at Madison Square Garden.

Earlier this year, Charice released her 1st US single "Note To God" produced by David Foster and written by legendary Diane Warren.

She was also personally invited to Italy by Andrea Bocelli for a duet of "The Prayer".

In the next part, we will have more Italy, Michael Jackson's tribute and back to the country she calls home.

CHARICE PEMPENGCO PART 1

  • 4 days ago
  • 4 comments

There is going to be a MAJOR Charice Pempengco-pimpage coming because rewatching that clip of her singing with Kyuhyun led to more watching and that girl truly has an amazing voice and great stage presence of a future diva (at times, it overshadows the people around her).

Charice Pempengco (17) of The Philippines was introduced to the rest of the world through the wonders of YouTube when videos of her younger self singing were uploaded by an avid supporter, FalseVoice. Due to his efforts, she was then scouted for an album recording in Sweden, appeared in South Korea's famous talent show "Star King" and it BOOMZ from there.

Ironically, a clip of her 9-year old self was aired on one of the Japanese variety show.

Her 1st appearance on Star King in 2007 singing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" and the unforgettable "A Whole New World" duet with Super Junior's Kyuhyun (who at the time was still recovering from a major car accident).

Her 2nd appearance on Star King at the end of the same year being one of the "Most Requested Foreign Act". She sang "I Will Survive" and a duet of "I Will Always Love You" with Lena Park.

 

In between those two, she was invited by Ellen DeGeneres to appear on her show.

Coming up next, Paul O'Grady, Oprah Winfrey and dream collaborations with some of the most talented singers and music producers in the world.

HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY SUPER JUNIOR-O

  • 6 days ago
  • 1 comment

To one of the biggest boyband in the world (like seriously 13+2 is no small number),

슈퍼주니어 4주년 축하합니다!!!

The first time I learned about Super Junior came from Kia about 2 years ago. She tried to convert me but to no avail because my stubborn stance was "Only Arashi". I was then exposed to their music performance (i think it was "u") in the now-defunct Mise. My initial impression of them is typical of a non-Kpop follower, which many can vouch for, is rather unflattering and mean (or as rinjin would remind me oh-so-often, "you're such an asshole."):

1) "Woah! Can the group get any BIGGER?"

2) "Bwahahaha! They have a fat one in there."

3) "Poor fat one! The camera barely even focus on him before it moves on to the other members."

To Shindong, I sincerely apologise. You are a bigger person than I will ever be (no pun intended).

Fast-forward to end of last year when I got interested to learn more about of Korean music due to (shochi's imitation of wondergirls and) Big Bang. Janjan was in town and I had to study for JLPT (yeah right! you know i usually winged it). Since we set our laptops side-by-side, I was simultaneously watching Big Bang and a show called "Exploration of the Human Body". I did not know any of the members but I distinctively remembered one of them had really nice abs.

Earlier this year after a night-out with Kia (who was still trying to convert me) and Zu, they subjected me to a marathon of "Full House" and "We Got Married". By the next morning, I could more or less pick out the chinaman, the diva, the gorgeous, the smart ass, the cute, the weird-looking and the bear.

Due to my chinaman/gorgeous-bias, I was recommended the sub-unit "Super Junior M" (ah! all the controversy that surrounds them) with the snarky, the tiny, the violin kid and the other chinaman. Once I figured that out, it was a matter of eliminating the leftover members: the dimpled leader, the lee jun ki lookalike, the fat one as i already know.

Feeling very satisfied with myself, I forgot there is still ONE left - the act cute, loves pink, reminds me of a bunny and because of that, he is still known as "WHO" to me.

My wish for Super Junior is simply for them to continue doing whatever they enjoy without feeling pressured by the society or ELFs. I hope to attend one of their Super Show soon.

PS. I remember watching this particular Star King for Charice Pempengco and barely acknowledging the group of guys in there haha.

A whole new world with you

嵐PV収録DVD、発売1週間で43万枚売り上げ

先月28日に発売されたアイドル「嵐」のプロモーションビデオを集めたDVD「5×10 All the BEST! CLIPS 1999-2009」が、9日付のオリコンDVDランキングで総合首位を獲得した。通算5作目の総合首位。発売1週間で42.8万枚を売り上げた。これまでの1位だったKAT-TUNの「Real Face Film」(06年3月発売)が記録した37.4万枚を上回り、3年半ぶりにミュージックDVDの歴代初動売り上げ記録を更新した。本作は、99年のデビューシングル「A・RA・SHI」から09年の「明日の記憶/Crazy Moon~キミ・ハ・ムテキ~」までのビデオクリップなど全31曲分のそれを収録している2枚組DVD。

They broke another record. I think even if you take a piece of eraser and slap "Arashi" on it, it will sell- and sell a LOT. Arashi fans are truly amazing.

Anyway, I was thinking that their things from the time capsule should be auctioned off and whatever profit from it can be donated to charity or something. Whereas their letters should all be framed up and displayed somewhere in NTV or JFC. Just a suggestion ya'noe.

In other news, I think I make any of my senseis go a little mad.

嵐のみんな様へ、


10周年おめでとうございます。

I have so much that I want to say but no amount of words is enough to express what I truly feel.

So I will just say,

Ribuan terima kasih untuk segala-galanya.

Thank you thank you thank you!

My sixth sense told me to check out シド's website and...

テレビ朝日 『ミュージックステーション』
2009.11.13(fri) 20:00-20:54

Which means they are appearing on the same MS with our boys! Oh my hell! This has been my wish since 2 years ago. Back then, SID was not even mainstream yet! I hope they interact. I want to see Ohchan with Maonyan.

Not sure if BIGBANG is appearing on MS this time but they are in Japan until 16th to promote「声をきかせて」, it would be a shame if they did not appear on MS (though confirmed they are not appearing in this week's ms).

Com'on spies! Do not disappoint me yet.
