Ear AND Eye Candy: B.A.P ~ Coffee Shop

Okay, these handsome boys have done it once again! The perfect vocals, the perfect melodies, the perfect lyrics and of course the perfect boys of B.A.P. I don't know about you guys, but these boys have never let me down, not even once! Nor, do these boys like having their Babys wait, so without further ado, just returning from their B.A.P Live on Earth concert from places around the globe the boys freshly released their song, Coffee Shop. Take a listen and tell me what you think! In the mean time, I will share my thoughts!

Right from the gecko, Daehyun, oh my my, how cute you are! Beginning with any of these boys, I can already tell it's going to be a good, verrry good music video! Oh! But wait! Youngjae...? Is that you...? I'm sorry but the girly hats, gotz to go my manz, you are a handsome guy, so no need to hide behind those girly hats! OOOOHHHH BANG YONG GUK !!!!!! You made me lose my train of thought... huh..? Oh yes, now I remember (heehe :3 ) I was just thinking of how GORGEOUS you are!!!!!! Zelo, Jongup and Himchan, I wish I could just hug you guys... not creepy.. at all.... So after all the spazzing from seeing these boys, the music, the lyrics and the scenery are all just beautifully pieced together and ultimately holds a nostalgic effect. This song and music video are sure to be on repeat! <3

Review: 200 Pounds of Beauty

From my growing list of Asian movies, I am almost certain this was the first I ever watched and I actually loved. So, here's to the first, 200 Pounds of Beauty!

This movie was absolutely lovely; complete with a beautiful actress (Kim Ah-Jung) and her magical voice. This movie conveys the message of the power of appearance and inner beauty while keeping the mood of the movie light... most of the time.

The plot of the movie is centered around an overweight girl by the name of Han-na, because of her appearance she is over looked and often used. Since she wants to change the situation she is put in, she undergoes a drastic and full body transformation, but even then she gains enemies. 

I 100% suggest this movie to anyone who is looking for a romantic comedy that brings you through the transformation of a girl that discovers true love in others and ultimately true love in herself.

Counting Down the Days and Up Next !

As of today, it will be 16 days until I will be leaving to go to London for one two THREE WEEKS! Yes I am ubbbbbbber excited, but in the mean time since I am jobless, I will be reading... *cough*cough* reading subtitles that is! I've been watching tons and I mean TONS of Asian movies, so I will be posting reviews of each movie that I have watched, so look forward to it ! :D Until then, stay cool everyone! <3

Job Hunting

For the summer, I'm not allowed to be bumming it out, it's a promise I made to myself. Instead, I will be searching for a summer job, well to be exact a four week job because that is all I have of my summer. I started this job quest from the beginning of the school year, and my progress? Still empty handed, whereas my friends who were once in the same boat as me, have jumped ship and found employment. I have applied to places in the mall, to jobs I never would have guess doing (waitressing... stay innocent guys!) and jobs that have been listed for a whole year's worth. I have dressed nicely, printed so many copies of my resume, written so many cover letters, and all I get are praises, but no offers. It has been one week into summer and I am feeling the slump already! It is going to be a lonely four weeks if I don't get a job soon, but the thing is, I am doing everything to my ability, then what is stopping the employers? As always I will have to wait and see. Well for everyone else, rest up and enjoy every single second of summer, because you will be wishing for these moments later! Cheers! <3

Below Average...waay below average.

The average height of an American female is 5'5" give or take, and how tall am I? Not even 5' yet. I never noticed when I stopped growing, but I do know for sure, that I have always had this perspective and talking to people's chest was considered "eye-contact". I never noticed how petite I was until my Baccalaureate mass. For those who have not survived a life-time's worth of Catholic School, Baccalaureate mass is a mass before the graduating class' graduation and it even takes precedence over graduation. For the mass, I played a very important role, the reading of the offertory. For any average person, reading AND being seen is a given, however for me it was a read and do not be seen type if situation. Yes, the podium that I was reading at was even taller than me, great another inanimate object added to the list that I shouldn't stand behind. During the mass, I had to pull out a wooden stool, do my thing and return it to its rightful place, a series of actions that drew many laughter. I found the concept very amusing myself and afterwords it was the highlight of the mass! I do not mind being the height that I am, but it comes with many bad aspects, like getting elbowed in the head, looked over (literally), and needing a stool for everything ! As I start college, I will embrace the fact that talking to people's chest will no longer be "eye-contact" but rather, speaking to their tummies! ;)

Thought of the Day

Being 18, I have already witnessed a heartbreak. I have always worn my heart on my sleeve, but from others, I have kept my heart secure, locked and guarded by a three headed dragon. So what is this heartbreak I speak of? Hard to believe, but one does not need to be in love in order to witness a heartbreak. My bestfriend is in love, however, the one she loves is no longer by her side. She experienced a first love, but she also experienced a heartbreak. As of now, only the negative aspects are surfacing and that is something that breaks me. For all those who have experienced love, know that you are a very lucky and special group of people that exist in this world. You have experienced the most powerful yet destructive force in the universe and that is a blessing in itself. Keep your head up and mend those precious and beautiful hearts. ❤

Ear Candy: Henry ~ Trap

Is is just me or did a solo for Henry of Super Junior M come as a surprise? Don't get me wrong, I welcome a solo for Henry, his smooth vocals, his suave dance moves, his beautiful piano and violin playing and oh, did I mention, that gorgeous face?, but when a company announces a solo act, I automatically think of someone who hasn't been introduced yet. SM Town, played me, they played me well. The teaser pictures they released were so elusive, a guy with a healthy physique, who isn't that in a Kpop world? However, when the person was announced I was far from disappointed, I was the exact opposite of disappointed, whatever that may be... :)

Enough with the chit chat, this song, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, this mini-album, SO SWEET, but the music video, a little less stellar. After setting a date to release Henry's Trap music video, SM Town revoked it and asked for fans patience while they take a little longer to upload a higher quality. What does this do to Kpop lovers, builds anticipation AND expectation. Throughout the music video I couldn't help but criticize and cringe at some of the style choices.
First: That spike headband, sorry my manz, but be above that. With that spike, you are deflating your charming looks for a unicorn horn.

Second: This isn't Henry, but rather, it's Taemin. This boy has grown up so much over the years, he has grown so much, he started to wear dangling spike earrings... Dear, Taemin, stick to stud earrings they look so much better!

Lastly: Henry, you livin' that thug life huh? Do you chain hang low? Yes, you got the overrated gangsta chains, instead let your neck be adorned with arms of fans giving you hugs ! ;D (but I do love the crown fitted!)

Overall the album was really good, some songs became my favorite right away, songs like Trap and 1-4-3, while others are barely working their way to the top of my list. Before you take my word for it, give his mini-album a listen ! <3

Memories

Two days ago I graduated high school, and it seems cliche to say that I remember my first day of freshman like it was yesterday, however that was how it was. On my first day of high school I was terrified and hugging my canvas bag with cutout guitars (I was into my Rock music phase) close to my side. The weeks following freshman year, I was shy and I kept thinking to myself while I was walking to class, "Wow, I'm in high school." Looking back on the previous years it seems surreal to see where I stand now and where I stood before. On the day of graduation, I was sitting in my seat while my fellow classmates, people whom I have spent four precious years with, were being summoned to accept their diploma, I took a trip to memory lane. It is crazy how during the present, events are happening, but later as you dig them out again, they become memories with a whole different feel. My mind is a big jumble right now, but honestly it always is! :) In life, there are no happy goodbyes, only hopeful beginnings.  <3
