It seems like it's been forever since I last updated with you guys about things.. well in English anyway. So, therefore we are going to commemorate today by marking it as a happy reunion. So glad to see you again! XD
Anyways, enough with the sarcasm and let's get on with business. 2013 is almost at it's end with only two days left of the year.
Which gave me a thought..
If you only had two days left to live.. how would you spend the days?
I have been very productive this morning and thought out a list of goals/challenges I have set myself for the new year. Honestly, I can't guarantee it will last very long but heck it won't hurt to give it a try right? This is my first year doing this kind of thing so I'm quite motivated^^ and it's pretty realistic so I think I can manage.
My New Year's Resolutions for 2014
Get in shape (cut down on junk food)
Manage my time (no procrastination)
Do well with studies (this means no doing assessments the night before -.-)
Be more literate
Get a job/drivers license
Be more confident and outgoing
Be more grateful and positive about life
Have better posture/flexibility/stop cracking knuckles
근데 모든다 영화가 똑같은거 있다고 생각해요. 영화를 보고나서 똑같이 생각하는게 아니잖아요. 뭔가 이상하게 생각하는게 봐꾼데.
For example; you leave the movies not exactly the same, different in some way from the first time you've seen it. It changes the mindset.. manipulating the audience's thoughts by pushing and pulling at their emotions. I believe movies are quite powerful, it has the power to change and affect our lives.
아.. 힘들다 ㅜ ㅜ
아무튼 오늘의 화제가 영화였어요. 너무 어려워서 그만둘려고요 ㅎㅎ 나중에 시간이있으면 더 깁히 글을쓸수있는데 지금은 힘들어서 다음으로 결정할깨요. 벌써 30분이 지나가서... 흑. 내일 home alone 1+ 2 이란 영화가 너무 보고싶은데.. DVD가 없어서 Kevin이랑 크리스마스를 못지나겠네요^^
그럼 저는 이만이라고하고 빨리 책을읽으러 가겠습니다. Pride and prejudice 이라고 재목인데요 너무 지루해요... 하지만 장년 생일선물로 밨았으니깐 당현히 읽어야조.
뭐지.. 15일에 공연이있었습니다! 엄청나게 연습을해서 손가락이 아픔으로 공연을마췄는데. 사실은 재생각으로 잫못했다고 생각했는데.. 처음 피아노 공연이니깐 사람들이 놀랏다고 소믄을들었어요. 좀 후휘하죠.. 안떨렸고, 좀 쉬어가면서 연습을했스면 더잘할수있었는데.
에휴~ 괜찮아요! 다음에는 더잘하면돼죠^^
라즈베리 필드- 토요일 오후
아까전에 Youtube을 검색하다가 이노래를 찾았어요!!
너무 가볍고, 귀여운 작곡입니다! 가수목소리는 너무 매력적인것같아요^^
앜! 32일 남았어요 (Noooo~~~)
Yeah~ The reason why I sing
ㅋㅋ 뭔가 지금 속상하지를 못할것같아요.
그거 알아요? 저는... 운동을 다시 시도를하보겠습니다!
예전에 다이어트를 시도했는데.. 근데 생각적으로 너무 힘들었죠. 저는 많이먹는편인데 어느세 적은 음식 아니면 굶어서 사는거는 너무 어려웠어요. 좀 쓰러질뻔도 많이있었고요. 그니까 저는 그냥 운동이나 시도할까라는 생각이들었죠. 제 스팩이 163/47 이에요 뭐 날씬한편인데 더살이빼면 그냥 뼈아닐까요? 그니까 그냥 허벅지, 뱃살, 엉덩이, 팔 하고 얼굴살 많좀 특별히 toning을할려고 노력하고있습니다 (몸다 같은데?.. ㅡ.ㅡ)
Well, if you've come this far thanks for sticking around. Even though it's not much, I truly appreciate it :)
Only a few more days to go until the d-day so be prepared to join me in this new and exciting adventure.
To be exact - 46 days left
Honto? Feeling a bit nervous.. who knows what's going to happen in the future. We can only stay positive and proceed on with life because one day something great is going to happen. And don't say otherwise.. if you were born, you were destined with a great purpose.
Nan de? Ditch the negative attitude, forget all the reasons why it won't work and focus on the one reason that it will. You know why? because there are far far better things ahead than any we leave behind so no matter how hard things are now, it doesn't mean any great things won't ever happen. Plus, everyday is a fresh new start, a second chance^^
You know what my favorite quote is?
You were born to be real, not perfect
Anyways, i'm off track. There was this brief baka moment as I stared into space and subconsciously started typing this post. Possibly it was the cause of a sad song that was being played on repeat? (changed it^^) Ano... yuki XP... gomenasai. Please bare with me and the absence of my brain and it's whereabouts.. it might've possibly left about 4 days ago when it decided sleep was no longer needed. Crazy huh? No sleep in the last four days.. ㅜ.ㅜ
Enjoying this adorable tune (reminds of me maple story..ahh nostalgia)
UPDATE: Trials are almost over! Thank God for that~~ Only two more exams to go.. and two more majors to stress about next week. Yay~ life is great ㅡ.ㅡ But no worries genki des yo. I've decided that I'll be staying in Sydney this year to help around the house. That means no schoolies, no vacation and definitely no overseas trip. This I will certainly be jealous of.. for about the rest of my life! But who cares right? By then I'll be driving around and bringing home the big bucks. Yeah! Who needs prada, goochi, chanel and all those big brands when you can have chinatown, kmart and coles :D (no sarcasm intended).
Well, that was my mini update on life, I'm still deciding whether or not to go to uni and getting a degree. But apparently international students aren't granted a loan from the government so there goes my chances of achieving a great education. I thought that by now money wouldn't be a problem, but instead it creates a barrier. Guess I wrong ey? How am I supposed to get $23 000+ for a year in film school let alone receive only $16 per hour (if i even get that much). If my mathematical calculations are correct, this means that I must earn $442.31 per week? In order to do that I must earn $27.64 per day? Actually that isn't too bad.. so I only have to work 1.7 hours? Oh right.. I've been calculating how much I need to earn in a year.
There is only two months until I'll apply to either tafe ($10 000+) or film school ($23 000+) so that must mean that I have to earn $1111 per week so I need to earn $69.44 per day? Wow.. only 4 hours of work is needed. I think...? this would be so embarrassing if I calculated wrong. That actually doesn't sound too bad unless I'm working as a 'junior accountant' again. That was way too awkward for me even though the workers were really nice and the environment was good. I just cant bear to sit in a cramped space for 10 hours a day sorting out files and putting it into the database and even get under paid for working over time! Cruel world it is.
Nevertheless, I'm going concentrate on doing something.. at least something rather than nothing which could be the worst thing that you could do. Yay it's 2:46 a.m. I can't wait to see the sunrise :) it just makes me feel relaxed like there's no care in the world.
Till next time I sign out with a peace sign (Asian pose FTW)
19th July, 2013 (11:13 a.m) It has officially begun... It's been a pretty hectic year I have to admit. There has been times where it felt like everything was crumbling apart. But I'm glad it's almost over. I've been thinking.. and thinking. Even though there seems to be an endless list of opportunities out there, it seems as if there isn't 'the one' for me. Maybe I'm just a picky person and perhaps I am but that doesn't change the fact that I feel like a useless person. You know? Sure I have a few goals that I would like to complete.. a bucket list you would say. But not a career.

10th May, 2013 (12:48pm) B1A4 has come back with a new mini album! 'What's going on'! First thought, why I became a BANA? Because my boys have succeeded in making brilliant songs! My first reaction watching the mv 'whats going on'. At first I was really anticipating it because I loved all their previous mv's and have been keeping up with their latest news on instagram and allthekpop counting down the days when they were to make a comeback. But.. let me tell you. The mv freaked me out lol. Those creepy looking doll people... After the first time watching it I couldn't bear to watch it again.. that much of a shock. But!! Today I was going through instagram (like I usually do) and found that they made a comeback stage on mcountdown. So I thought might as well.. And I'm so glad that I did! Because now I am in love with the song, not so much for the mv though. But their comeback stage just blew me away.. the amazing vocals.. cute dancing.. energetic atmosphere... great stage cameras. I fell in love <3 haha I've been replaying it since this morning.
B1A4 - Whats going on
이게 무슨 일이야 이렇게 좋은 날에
이게 무슨 일이야 이렇게 좋은 날
너는 왜 yeah yeah yeah yeah
wassup wassup tell me tell me wassup
And then I started fangirling! I looked up the rest of the songs off the album:
01. 별빛의 노래
02. 이게 무슨 일이야 03. Yesterday 04. Good Love 05. 몇 번을 I really wish they had mv's for all the songs! This album is one of the best ever!
B1A4- How many times?
B1A4 - Yesterday
B1A4 - Good Love
Btw, I cant believe Gongchan didn't get many vocal parts in other songs! He is so good at singing.
B1A4- Starlight
I can't explain how much I am in love with all their songs... equally too! Normally I only like a few songs off the albums of kpop singers that I know but B1A4 you have really amazed me! Their talented and I believe they need more support, especially since some songs are actually written by them which makes them even more special. Seriously.. most kpop songs are pretty similar so I wasn't really interested in the new rookie groups. But B1A4 has their own distinctive musical colour (yes.. distinctive is from our english course this month -.-). They have a combination of cute + inspirational + powerful and obviously the hotness^^ When they're performing they go into professional mode but do their best but when they're not they are very down to earth and do the funniest things xD
LOL!! I love their 'mong' face :P 멍~~~~~~~~~~ 사랑해요 오빠들! Well, I shall be off now. Gonna go download the album onto my phone now. So.. if you're wondering what I'm listening to when I have my earphones on.. now you know :D
OMFG!! I just got back from the movies and my mind is literally blown! Iron man 3.. i personally want to thank the writer and director for making this movie. It was amazing! I am totally impressed by your work. I literally was sitting there gawking at the screen wih my mouth open. The action scenes just blew me away. And the fact that i dont really like romance... it didnt have any in it! No awkward sex scenes! I'm really sad this was the last movie from the series.. i was just starting to get into it. Im sure i've watched 1 and 2 sometime in my life.. but right now i cant remember. I'll have to rewatch them sometime.
I loved the plot.. the character especially that cute boy! Everything fitted together.omg!!! I'm so depressed now.i have to say i give this movie a 5 out of 5. And this is a pretty rare moment. I barely ever give full marks. So this must be one of the best. I really wish someone would ask me to watch it again because i definitely will.
Okay.. its 9:36pm right now. Think i'll head to bed. I dont think i've had a full nights sleep in a while. Need to recharge my body lol like jarvis. And i havent written a full blog in a while.. i know. I've been really occupied with stress.. not work. Just stress. I'm writing this right now on my mobile so i dont know how it'll turn out. So.. just wish for the best.
Good night world~ cant wait to get my hands on the dvd!! Hehehe :)
Well..... my first day of the holidays was quite memorable... near death experience you could say.
My cousin and my grandma came to Australia about two weeks ago for a visit and since I've been busy with my half yearlies and my parents working so they didn't have time to travel. My cousin thought of the idea to visit Wollongong and it's apparently... so called famous beach. Obviously as a cheapo... I freaked out. I was planning to spend my day at home either catching up on my sleep or doing my hospitality portfolio. But I guess I was forced to go along with them. So, we planned to go after the hour that I was told on a train which costs around ($18.00 return). But luckily my mum finished her work off early and we contemplated whether to go to Bondi beach or Wollongong beach... in the end my cousin won and we decided to go to Wollongong beach on our car. About... an hour out our car stopped in the middle of the freeway somewhere in Sutherland. And... the worst part of it was that it was uphill (in the right, over taking lane). So I think we stopped there for about half an hour until some nice guy turned up and told us that he was going to pull our car (downwards) because it was so dangerous, and we were truly grateful for that. Until... he took out his rope from his trunk.
I swear it is literally this skinny.
So.. I thought 'oh shit.. we're gonna die'. I told everyone to get out of the car. And he attached it and started to go downwards.. until it broke. I literally freaked out because my mum was in the car and it started to roll down the hill. Luckily our emergency break was working. And again.. the now idiot.. said 'why don't we double the rope and use it'. -.- But somehow the police was just cruising along and spotted us and just parked their car a few meters to keep the traffic off. And.. that guy ran off.. lol. So.. for another 50 minutes we stood there trying to call a tow truck. Then a nice guy called Peter came along and towed our car into a safe corner for us, and he tried calling all his mates but all were too busy. He stayed with us for another half an hour calling all his mates until finally his friend called Joe came. They were both very nice guys and Joe came rushing because Peter said it was an emergency :D. There are nice people out there. Then we waited for Joe for another 30 minutes because he had to pick his son up (who was sleeping by the time he got here.. so cute :3). He towed the truck and my cousin decided to follow him (you know what his reason is..? because he might steal the car) -.- seriously Joe is a nice man.. So.. we stood in the middle of a freeway (in this dividing area) for another hour and half for a dad to come pick us up. I swear to you that was the most embarrassing hour and half of my life. People were honking like crazy.. (my thoughts 'you wanna die?', 'get out of the road!', 'you're an idiot', 'HAHAHA'). Even worse it was boiling hot.. and I burned like crazy.
So.. after an hour and half my dad turned up on the other side of the road... yes the freeway.
This was very similar to where we stood.. the little grass area.
Then... we had to cross apparently.. -.- never ever ever in my life am I going to cross a freeway again. We got stuck in the middle.
Procrastinating again :)
I have my half yearlies starting on the 2nd of April and I still haven't studied one bit...what a good student I am^^
Anyways, I was bored so I thought I'd make a post. To be honest I much prefer writing posts then making vlogs. It's too awkward and strange.. I might delete them. Maybe just stick with covers and tutorials? I don't know.. What do you think?
I'm falling in love with dancing again! Even though I suck real bad. I really want to learn one!
I couldn't find much.. but these looked the easiest. These are all mirrored btw.. so you can do it too!
B1A4 - Baby Good night
Rainbow - Tell me Tell me (Not mirrored)
IU - Good Day
A Pink - My My
Super Junior - From U
Miss A- I don't need a man
Boyfriend- Boyfriend
ZE:A- Watch Out
ZE:A- Here I Am
B1A4- Tried to Walk
B1A4 - A Chance Encounter
LOL! Okay.. Maybe not the last one :)
But I'm desperate haha
Just break it out on the dance floor and I'll get all em boys. XD
Don't know which one to learn first though.. I tried learning 'Baby good night' (only the chorus though) but it looks funny when I do it. I feel as if 'I don't need a man' and 'Good Day' is the easiest. So I might try that.
Happy 21st Birthday Sandeul Oppa!
생일축하해요 오빠!
이미.. 3일지났는데. 미안합니다 ㅠ.ㅠ
I'm proud to be a BANA
사랑해요 오빠<3
And thank you for teaching me your cute eye smile :3
Well, this post is going to be all about my latest obsession!! T.V SHOWS!
For those of you who don't know I usually watch these shows on the internet because my t.v only has one channel which is SBS (POPASIA FTW!).
Just thinking about it makes me happy... crazy right? XD
Without further ado let's get right into it.
This month I've been crazy.. even right now I should be studying for my half yearlies which is in about 2 weeks. I get distracted very easily.. and a strong procrastinator as you might have already known.
These are the shows that I freakin LOVE <3:
- Running Man
- Invincible Youth (Season 1)
- X- File
- Rollercoaster
- Xiaxue's guide to life
I'm sure there's more but this is all I can think of right now. Okay, here's a little overview of what the show is about.
Running Man
(I've already blogged about this show before but for old time's sake ONE MORE TIME)
This is a korean reality/game/ variety show. There are 7 main members (above) from left to right are:
Lee Kwang Soo (이광수) a.k.a Kwang-Vatar
Kim Jong Kook (김종국) a.k.a SPARTA,The Commander, Kookie
The guy in the yellow jumper who is Song Joong Ki left running man :( but is sometimes a guest member
Ji Suk Jin a.k.a Big Nose Hyungnim
Ha Dong Hoon(하동훈) a.k.a HAHA
Gary a.k.a Peaceful Gary, Gaecholas Cage
This is my ultimate favorite T.V show! It is amazing! They go to different locations across Korea (even thailand, china etc). Most of the time they are separated into teams, sometimes guest members join in and they have to accomplish different missions in order to win a prize (usually gold). The missions are random as... sometimes it's as simple as multiplication table (with a slap of water if wrong) to carrying people on their backs across different locations and eating food to claim that territory (chance game like monopoly). The last mission is always this thing where it's kind of like the game tips, but it involves a name tag in which you have to rip off. And it's really funny because there are things such as spies and betrayers. I'm up to ep. 111 and once I start watching I can't stop.
I usually watch it on this website: http://runningmanclub.blogspot.com.au/
Invincible Youth 청춘불패 (Season 1)
This show is about these young idol stars (kpop singers) experience the life in the rural areas. The chosen location for this place is Yuchi-ri village in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do in South Korea. These girls (known as G7) help the villagers out with farming, making tofu, making Korean sake, fishing, tutoring, shoveling off snow and all sorts of things (with some entertainment). Their slogan was: 청춘은 지지 않는다~ 청춘~ 불패 (Youth Don't Lose! Invincible Youth!)
The cast are:
Sunny (SNSD)
Yuri (SNSD)
Hyuna (4Minute)
Sunhwa (Secret)
Narsha (Brown Eyed Girls)
Hyomin (T-ara)
Hara (Kara)
Kim Tae Woo(Solo Singer)
Kim Shinyoung (MC/ Entertainer)
Noh Juhyeon
I love this show.. but after Sunny, Yuri and Hyuna had to leave I literally cried because I was so attached to all the members. When the new members came in to replace them, I stopped watching because it had a totally different feel to it. It didn't seem interesting anymore.. it's not because I don't like the other members it's just it just turned ... strange. But I still love it!
You just basically go on Google and type in 'Invincible youth ep (insert ep your up to) and it automatically comes up.
Maspeople X- File (화성인X 파일)
Now.. this is sort of hard for those of you who can't understand Korean because some of the clips don't have English subtitles on them. Nonetheless, you can't really find the full episodes.. but I watch the shortened clips on YouTube. Just search in 화성인 X 파일 and it will come up. This show is similar to that show called 'My strange addictions'. It's just about finding people who aren't ordinary.. it's very interesting. Like they look normal but they just behave differently. Sometimes I envy them haha :D
Here's a short preview of ep 104:
24 hour drinking girl
Rollercoaster (롤러코스터)
I wouldn't call this show a variety/ reality program. It's about the differences between a girl and a guy. It's really funny because most of them are so true. Just go on youtube and type in 롤러코스터. This is hard again for the non-korean speakers.
Xiaxue's guide to life
And last but not least is a reality show with the blogger/ youtube star Xiaxue. Technically this isn't a KoreanTV show but I just put it in here because it's awesome!. This is in English so don't fret :) I only found about this about two days ago and I've been constantly watching them. It's really interesting because it's just random as. Xiaxue, as a host goes around places or find things that are just random that people always wanted to know but never really had the chance to. She's so funny because she's so honest about everything :D
This, I also watch on YouTube, just by searching Xiaxue's guide to life.
Well, I didn't cover a lot of details but you get the jest of it. Now it's 8.p.m and I haven't started my homework that's due tomorrow.. yay -.-. I'm still procrastinating since Friday . lol.. how lame am I.
In one of Xiaxue's episodes she teaches people how to Photoshop. And I've always been curious about this... and since my laptop came installed with the 'Adobe Photoshop CS3' I decided 'heck why not?'.
Before
After
Lol.. I deliberately tried it on my friend's picture just for fun. She's holding the camera like it's a baby lol :D
Before
After
I guess this one isn't very dramatic. Can you notice the difference?
To be honest... I can't be bothered using Photoshop. It's just too much of a hassle and as you can tell I suck at it. So.. I hope you like my post for today :D It's currently 8:20 p.m. and I'm tired as hell. Have to do my homework now. Save me!! :'(
