Epik High is so awesome.
Before I even had time to think about it, spring break is almost over. I've been doing a lot of stuff for the past week and I'm really happy I was able to spend time with both my friends and family throughout the week! Monday was afternon shopping with Connie, Tuesday was going off to Hollywood to see Utada with Tiff, Ken, Kim, Eric, Willis, and Will~~~ Wednesday was lunch with Jono! Yesterday night was the spring break get-together of our high school friends, but new faces showed up and it was a lot of fun just to relax, eat, and talk. All this just makes me think of how lucky I am to have such a life, with wonderful friends and family. Yeah I'm always talking about it, but I really mean it.
In general I'm very happy, although there's something that's making me confused. Not going to say what, but it does make things seem like a roller coaster.

you've got the wrong number
I didn't know what to title this entry, but Wrong Number just so happened to play, so...there we go.
Blogging about my actual life and the thoughts that go around in my head is actually something I need to get used to, because I have to say it's kind of hard for me to express myself sometimes, especially online. Fangirling is one thing, that's easy. This, umm..."blogging issue" has nothing to do with friends, I love you guys for always being there for me even when I'm being really weird and unreasonable; it's more of something I have to deal with myself I guess? Finals were really hectic and now that I'm sitting on my bed with plenty of time to think, this is the first that pops up in my mind.
The last post is still sort of with me, I think I might have found out what's been eating at me, but once again, I'm not too sure if what I'm assuming is actually it...Haha I'm still confusing myself huh? I'll be okay though, spring break is here and it should be fun!

heartquake
All of a sudden I feel like my heart and mind are feeling really heavy, enough I want to tear them out. But I can't do that, because guess what, I have no idea what's going on in my head. And it's not academic stress. It's not something I can or want to talk about (I'm lost and confused), but I feel like I had to throw this out somewhere, and so this blog will do for now. I think I'll sink myself into a lot of DBSK's ballads for the time being, maybe they'll do the trick.

The first music list of many!
Combining Connie and Ken's music list, so here I'm posting 10 songs that 1) I've discovered/been listening to lately (as in the last two weeks) and 2) I'm liking very much. They're not in any particular ranking. I like making song lists, hopefully they'll have a lot more meaning in them though. But they'll probably be centered around artists though, it's easier for me.
01. Super Junior - 쏘리 쏘리 (SORRY, SORRY)
sorry sorry sorry sorry / shawty shawty shawty...I've had these lines running through my head for the whole week. Super Junior returns to the Korean music scene (today) with a catchy yet sophisticated dance song with heavy beats. Yes the chorus is repetitive but somehow this song works and I don't think it's annoying.
02. 규현 - Smile
Speaking of SuJu's comeback, I've somehow fallen for the 13-member-group's youngest, Kyuhyun (mind you, he's 21). Smile is a simple jazzy piece and Kyuhyun, already blessed with a beautiful powerful voice, sings this song in such a low sexy tone you can't help but be relaxed and completely immersed in the gorgeous mix of the piano, orchestra and his voice.
03. KAT-TUN - RESCUE
Even without my bias, this is a very good song, argubly one of their stronger singles. KAT-TUN strays away from their more typical rock-flavored pop music to bring a vocally multi-layered trance piece. The boys deliver strong vocals as well. Add in an addicting English (or Engrish) chorus and they're set for another success!
04. 張力尹 - 星願 (I WILL)
Although I've only started listening to Li Yin in recent months, her voice is really captivating. It is ultimately a sweet song about how everlasting love and how people strive towards it. I can't help but smile a little when I hear the lines "輕輕說愛你 你是我無悔 追溯的方向". I like that the music isn't too loud; it serves as a compliment to Li Yin's gentle yet strong voice.
05. 東方神起 - Survivor
This is actually an interesting song, because Junsu starts it off really intense and serious, accompanied by a heavy heavy beat, so it sort of hooks you in, but then by the chorus, Jaejoong is singing about smiles and love. Still, strong performance by the Toho boys; it's really likeable and easy to sing along too!
06. 東方神起 - Kiss The Baby Sky
Although Bolero is my favorite out of the three triple A-sides, I put Kiss The Baby Sky on the list because the PV just came out like two days ago and this song does nothing but make your day a lot better, and you're left with a true smile on your face. The song makes you feel as if a bucket of sunshine was just handed to you. Plus, it's written by Yoochun, what more can you ask for? As always, Tohoshinki sings this sweet song incredibely (the range is actually pretty high) well.
07. 蕭敬騰 - 收藏
I think Jam Hsiao has an awesome versatile voice, it somehow just fits with different genres of music. I refer to this song as the "Burning Piano" song (I think) because I can't remember the actual name, but joking aside, this is brilliant, love how the song escalates as it progresses. And it gives me the feeling of letting go but not in a sad way.
08. Utada - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI
I'm probably not as hyped up as Ken is, but Utada Hikaru is still nevertheless my favorite female singer and I'm pretty excited for her new American album. She's so clever, she's leaking her own songs to promote the album. Come Back To Me was pretty good, but this song simply owns. It has that unique Hikki sound and although the lyrics are more shallow than her Japanese works, this is probably has a lot more meaning than almost any other American track out there right now.
09. Big Bang - CRAZY DOG
It's really obvious that I like songs with heavy beats or a dance feel to it. CRAZY DOG is no exception. I can imagine this playing in a club and somehow this song just blends really well. This is something I always listen to when I need an energy boost. Oh and Tiff and I love imitating G-Dragon's OH MAI GAHD line. Up to a certain point, it becomes kind of cute.
10. ゴスペラーズ - 永遠に
The Gospellers are amazing, I wish I had known about them a lot sooner. This is probably their most famous song, and with good reason. Love songs are really common and a lot of them have profound meanings, but this is really romantic and you simply just fall for it, just like you'd fall in love with that special person. I like listening to this before I go to sleep or when I'm tired and feel like I need a break as well!
YAY DONE. AND SO! KEN AND I ARE GOING TO GO SEE UTADA HIKARU DURING SPRING BREAK BECAUSE SHE'S HAVING A SIGNING EVENT IN HOLLYWOOD AND WE ARE NOT PASSING UP THIS OPPORTUNITY. NOTHING'S STOPPING US EITHER. OMG I'M SO HAPPY.
Now I have to study for my Japanese art exam tomorrow. I need an A or else I won't get a decent final grade. D:

Should be studying, but ah well, saw Connie blogging and decided maybe I'll give RL/random blogging another shot soon. Wish me luck. :D
