Because I love 2PM and KPop!

Yes, because I can't get over the fact that 2PM is awesome and their MAMA performance earlier today made amazing an understatement. Their concept, basically, for this was, like, "the structure of breaking up." Sounded like an emo-ish one, did it?

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here are the videos!

Everything you see is a mindmap. Each of the 2PM member represents one emotion/theme/whatever you call it.

First, Chansung is longing. He stands outside, wavering the telephone booth, wishing to call the girl and ask her to come back, but at the same time, he knew he had been dumped and thinks if there’s a need to call. That’s why he wavered and sang ‘Again and Again’.

Second, Junho is sadness. The make-up he has showed as if he cried. That’s why he sang ‘I Hate You’, what he wanted wasn’t sadness. That’s why he hated the girl for giving him something not he wanted. The mask he wore is what he uses to mask his sadness with hatred.

Third, Wooyoung is anger. That’s why he kicked and threw things away. He sang ‘Without You’ due to the anger caused by the girl, that anger allowed him to be optimistic and at the same time, asking the girl why is she like this to him and if she really thinks she’ll be okay without him.

Fourth, Junsu is loneliness. He pressed the piano keys, but nothing came out. It portrayed as if the piano is him, the notes are the melodies of his life. But without the girl, his life is quiet, nothing. That’s why when he pressed the keys, nothing came out. He is waiting for the girl to come back and make his life full of melodies again. That’s why he sang ‘Tired of Waiting’.

Fifth, Taecyeon is memory. He dances to reminisce the time he danced with his partner. He sang ‘Only You’ to tell the girl that she’s the only one he loves.

Sixth, Nichkhun is (feel) lost. He walks on the traffic, knowing that he needs to wait for the green light, but doesn’t know that he needs to quickly and cross the road so that he wouldn’t get knocked down. That’s why when the red man flashes again, he stopped, knowing that when the red man appears, we should not cross the road. But he heard cars honking at him, he looked at the vehicles, thinking why isn’t he feeling afraid. This shows that he thinks, without the girl, his life is meaningless. And that, he is not afraid of death. But at the same time, he know he should let go. That’s why he sang ‘Heartbeat’.

Congratulations to all the winners for the MAMA awards! I must say that you all deserve it :DDD

PS: I swore this day that I won't talk about KPop in my blog today but, I guess, I can't help it! Hahah

Oh yes, I juggle!

Whaddup, people of the world!

I'm sorry for being awesomely MIA for the past few weeks. My life feels like a whirlwind right now, you know? I'm telling you, juggling academics, debut parties and Technicolor is not an easy job. And it's hard not to get those woah! eyebags when I'm at it. My blockmate even commented me when I randomly removed my eyeglasses for some shiz that my left eye's dark circles looked like I was bitten by some cockroach.

Anyways, let's set aside the much depressing side of all these and let's talk about Christmas! Okay, I'm seriously anxious about how this time of the year will be and the fact if I'll get money from some relatives. Heehee :P

Events keep popping up again. Reunions to pre-New Year parties to our final performance for the Dream Concert! There's also the kris kringles and FGF thing-os which just leaves my pocket... empty by the end of the year. So, yep, instead of ranting about how I expect my pocket to be like that, I'm gonna post about a brief wishlist for Christmas!

1. A jumper from Forever 21 (yes, that's Tricia Gosingtian!)

2. An all-expense paid trip to Korea
(Oh, when will I ever have this?)

3. A somewhat minimalistic orange netbook case
since I'm very kuripot to buy myself these kinds of things :P

4. The last one would be cash, I guess?
(Yes, I prefer it to be in US$ DOLLARS. Hahaha!)

That would probably be it! But I guess, there'd be more since this post was made out-of-the-blue to promote this video by... the cute Jimbominbo! :3 (Though I only "discovered" his channel few hours ago. Heheh) I'm telling you, I've watched most of his videos for the past few hours and I felt the want to learn Korean emerge at that instant. (Why do I feel like I'm endorsing and using emotional appeal? xD)

'til next time! I'm hoping it would be soon! :)

Technicolor takes on Eastwood

Hi, first, I'm not going to rant about our recent performance last Saturday at Eastwood (event: Grand KPop Garage Sale) because it's already long-time overdue and I have no words to say other than the floor we performed on was excessively stony. Frankly, though, I think we had less practices with this perf than for the auditions.

Anyway, I think pictures are more commendable so I'll rather make them explain how that day was tiring-slash-wonderful.


(1) A pre-performance photo-op. Hahaha :P

Good luck on your auditions on Saturday, Cyril! :D

(15) Pardon me for that lousy posture and expression. With ElementShine's Onew :">

Now, for the thank-yous for the pretty pictures, I want to mention Cy Castro (1 & 12) and the rest to Alyssa Cabel <3

An, of course, the video! Enjoy ;)

Hello, hello! ♫♪♫

Instead of possibly bringing down everyone's spirits this night because of my supposed-to-be very emotional post about my incomplete grade in Computing (the worst "grade" you can get than a 3.00), I'd like to commend everyone's efforts during the DCDC auditions! Yeah, I'm still kind of not over it yet since I still view random videos of random groups I come across on Youtube. In this post, though, I'll put every chosen cover group's available performances in YT here for my future --- and maybe yours, too! -- references. For what? In the future, I might answer that. And, yes, my current playlist includes SHINee's "Hello."

Want to judge? Be my guests!

(Videos are posted according to the Dream Concert Dance Cover line-up on December 29 as posted by the KPop and Culture Fest people.)

As for D'Boss, the cover group for D-NA, I can't seem to find a video of any of their performance.. Might as well serve as a surprise for everyone! And speaking of cover groups, Technicolor will be at the Philippine KPop Convention's Garage Sale in Eastwood at November 6 so don't miss that out, okay? :D

PS: Please, please watch Technicolor's! Analyze it if you can and tell me what needs improvement. Comment here, tweet me or whatever. Thanks a bunch!

Scream not for it's free!

(Lame title for this post... I have lame titles anyway. Hahaha.)

Early this morning, I had absolutely no plans of going out. All the things I should've done has been all planned out like to try out splits, watch episode 6 of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and watch S04E06 of Gossip Girl. Only the last part was accomplished and as usual, my well-planned out schedule turned into ashes as Cy texted me that our agenda for today to watch the 2PM-10PM three movie screenings for the Korean Horror Movie Festival is going to push through. The best part was that I was all game for it unlike the usual "tinatamad ako" sentimiento.

Good thing that Nixie came with us, though, cause it was hell lotta fun, baby! :)) So, to make the long story short, we watched only two movies, "The Red Shoes" and "M." The former was quite interesting only because of the awesome shoes while the latter.. let's not talk about it 'cause I missed parts of it because I slept.

The movie paper thing we desperately wanted which the

Shang cinema people are giving out at the counters.

Nixie, Cy and I before watching the "Red Shoes" at 5PM!

Few more shots with our lucky tickets before watching "M" at 8PM!

I've got lots of funny stories to tell but I'm really tired right now and it's... 2AM. Plus, the fact that I already need to sleep because I can hear my stomach growling.

90 and keeps getting better

Yes, this is my 90th post of this blog's life and hopefully, it keeps getting better.

A photo I took last summer during our literally hot trip from Singapore.

I think I'm reaching the peak of my anxiety at this exact time because apparently, grades are supposed to be released by today and I only have those of the 4 subjects namely Arts, Biology Lab, Biology Lecture and Networking. Fortunately, I have 3 out 4 of these which has surprisingly high scores. I'm not really good at sharing my achievements so please pardon me. Arts, however, was the one wherein I got the most surprising one since frankly speaking, I tried (I mean really tried) to comprehend what we were talking about in class since this Arts subject is solely about film. For the subject's first paper, I had the highest score in my life but for the remaining ones, I guess my enthusiasm went downhill and got even lower ones. Anyhoo, let's not dwell on the past shall we?

Moving on, I guess I have a what you call smooth-sailing sembreak right now. What I meant is that I'm in between the good and the bad stresses.

The good (so far):

• Yesterday, Technicolor had yet another fun memento at Arysse's house. Our agenda included remixing our entry for the Dream Concert Dance Cover on the 29th of December. The remix was quite good although the process was undoubtedly tiring. Nonetheless, the feeling of accomplishment overrides those stressful moments! We also had the chance to judge the other groups' peformances during the DCDC auditions.
• On Thursday, we (Nixie and I) have scheduled a super bonding moment at the Korean Horror Movie Festival at the Shangri-La Plaza. This should be like my highlight of the week :D Plus, on that day, Philippine Kpop Convention will be releasing the ones who will perform for the KPop Garage Sale at Eastwood on November 6... I hope our group gets in!
• And on Sunday, I'm definitely going to the Philippine Fashion Week to watch Michelle Lim's Fashion Show! Special thanks to Kuya Kim!
• October 31 - November 1 marks another year to visit our long gone loved ones... some of which I truly miss!
• Around the early days of November the group will, again, perform at another KFest Management auditions. Yes, I have chosen this path alongside my IT career. Hahaha!

The bad:

• After what seems to be a solemn day, UA&P have their sophomore students in which I am a part of to enlist on November 2. Although we, IT students, are privileged to have the pre-enlisted subjects, I still don't know whether I'm ready for school again.
• Oh, the grades! Don't kill me please :( Yes, I am nervous too.
• I have another 1,000,000 idle moments to bond with this laptop during my "home stays."

There, I have chosen to end this post with a photography demo of mine (PM if interested!). Hahaha, I'm kidding. This place, though, was in the Venetian Hotel in Macau which we visited during the 2008 sembreak. It's really an awesome place with all those fake clouds and the Italian feel! And with that, ciao!
/edit

I randomly saw this on Tumblr and this perfectly sings my life right now.

First and Last Day of the Week Debuts

Enchees' Party

Nixie's Party

One of my greatest high school friends, Nixie, just had her 18th birthday celebration a while ago at the Zong Restaurant in Centris Walk, Quezon Ave. It was a small dinner party she had with her family and some of her high school friends and family friends.

My gift for Nixie! A made-to-order soap I bought from the Soap Factory in Megamall. I was one of the 18 ribbons she chose for her party. I didn't have the slightest idea by then on what to give her except to give her something with Doraemon in it. That didn't push through because it's really hard to decide if she already has the same thing I'm supposed to buy instead... whatever, you get what I mean. Hahaha.

With the debut girl herself! >:D<
