Intensive Summer Fighting!!!

Ok, so today is the start of an intense summer for several reasons; dance sessions have started today, dissertation is making progress (or starting to) and I need to restart my music regimes.

Lyrics "Y, Why..." CNBlue (English Ver.)

I know I’ve fallen in love when you’re coming down to my eyes
Wanna make you,wanna feel the beauty as you are
I wanna tell you some I’m not a man who say in lies
Wanna love you I wanna hold you can you be the part of my life

Finally finished... You're Beautiful SBS Drama

At last, after 3 days I've finished "You're Beautiful". I've not had time to watch dramas for years, bar the odd one or two; picking selectively which ones to watch and having to rush through them.

This one I particularly liked; the actors, the music (even the numerous piano BGM, which I found are songs I've played before) and the realism (of course, the gender switching is unbelievable...)

I cried so much through this and felt so bad for Shin Woo (Jung Yonghwa) and Jeremy (Lee Hongki); I favoured them much more over Jang Geun Seok (which is rare for me I guess since I do like him quite a bit), Perhaps it's the seemingly condescending, rather cold and ignorant character of his in this drama that put me off. Although he's a caring and thoughtful, sensitive character deep down, the plot didn't really allow for it enough; as planned as part of the story of course.

"Lost and Searching"

Lost... Searching... Feeling...

She walks amongst the trees.

Searching for something unknown to her.

Something as bright as the stars yet as dark as the sky.

Pure and clear like water yet mysterious like brooding clouds.

What is it that she is looking for?

Does she know?

Something that is reminiscent to the brightest smiles of happiness,

yet bitter sweet like poignant memories.

Aching like a cracking dam of tears about to shatter upon reaching an invisible threshold,

yet numbingly blissful like fireworks sending sparks into the night sky.

What is this that feels like this that she is looking for?

Does she know?

TAEMIN's Sneakers in "君は僕のEverything" Replay (Jap. Ver.) MV

After watching the trailer about a million times, I've realised something.... Taemin's Jeremy Scott x Adidas Flames Sneakers....   I have them too!!! I'm so happy! (*^-^*)

Here's mine...

Dance Team Commences!!

Since I've now officially finished all assessments and lectures, I am free to do what I want, well, schedule-wise. I have an 18K dissertation to finish before August in order for me to graduate this year and I am all fired up for that completion date!

Meanwhile it means that I can no find time to fulfil me and my friends hope to dance, starting from next week! I'm so excited!

None of us have danced before or can dance properly so it'll be a steep learning curve but we are all so excited and so determined to learn! I've done ballet before but that's nothing like this; we will be dancing to K-pop so it's going to be so difficult (>.<;). I've done all the room bookings and I'll leave my friends to choose the dances they want from a selection of easier looking ones...... 笑

DJ YUKI'S YOUTUBE RECOMMENDATION OF THE WEEK [2011.05.08]

DJ Yuki's Recommendation for this week...

[DJ Yuki is one of my many aliases]


Alice Nine Drum/Bass Solo from Tokyo Galaxy DVD

You can definitely hear the jazzy funk influences behind the rock and melodic riffs.

The Tokyo Galaxy Live version of the High Collar Naru Rondo bass solo (the famous one where he licks his bass) is also different to his usual solo - much more Jazz and melodic... do check it out! (available to download from my blog)

Mother's Day & Filial Piety

It's Mother's Day today, what do you do for Mother's day?

Mother's Day usually means 'Mother can have a lie-in' day in my house (as in she can sleep for a bit longer in the morning).

To be honest, we really don't do anything all that special; maybe sometimes we will go out for dinner or a shopping trip but nothing to really celebrate it.
Why?

Because I think everyday should be Mother's day...  I'm sure she'd appreciate a lot more if you made effort to care and make her smile each and every day, even little things, rather than put it all into a Birthday or special occasion day. Don't you think?

We have a Mother everyday, so lets make everyday Mother's day and show our filial piety (孝) as we should everyday. Of course, this applies to Father's Day too...

Respect, appreciation, gratefulness and gratitude are amongst many other things we should be towards our parents, and we should show it everyday, because they care for us deeply everyday.

 Sometimes I feel there's less and less of filial piety apparent these days... especially in the Western world...

Are you a dutiful child? Do you do/fulfil your Filial Piety daily or even attempt to? (*^^*)

My Second CNBlue Song... "INTUITION"

I'll treat you guys to another funky song before I call it a day and go to bed and return on my hiatus to study for exams!..
