What to say? I should probably not use this blog as this place to dump all my sad thoughts...not saying I was always planning to do that, but the last few posts sure seemed like it.
It's not like the few people who read this blog don't know about what's been going on for the last couple of weeks, so yes, I will say that I'm pretty happy right now. However, I think I slept too much today.. I love sleeping and all, but I feel pretty exhausted.
Yeah okay something with more substance next time around. :P

L-O-V-E you, I was made to be with you
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:

back (:
Been back since Monday and slowly adjusting back. :D Except I already had things to do. More on the vacation later!
Wednesday morning was. . .just bleh, for the lack of words to describe it. Doctor decided it was time for another blood test and to be honest, I haven't taken one for a couple of years. I hate anything involving medical needles, and when I was younger I use to cry right before the test. Anyhow I don't cry anymore but I hate the pain.
So we go to lab and we wait for about 30 minutes before it's my turn. I sit down and all that fine stuff waiting for the person to pull out all the vials he needed. Then he had to find the vein to draw the blood. And he takes a long time trying to find it and when he finally thought he got it, he sticks the needle in. All right that's fine. BUT NO BLOOD COMES OUT. D: The person then starts to jab the needle, which is in my arm, in all these directions. I thought I was going to throw up or something, because he kept doing it for about five minutes. Then I go "ummm maybe you should try the other arm because I usually get blood there." I'm desperately trying to get him to stop moving the needle in my arm arm in opposite directions. Finally, he takes the needle out and I have to go over the whole procedure on my left arm before he finds blood. D:
After I left the lab, my mom was like "geez you look like you died." ): Not funnnn.
Today though, was my orientation at UCSD. It was just one day, instead of the typical two day orientation where you stay overnight, the reason being my dad would be too tired to drive four hours total from the LA area down to SD for two days straight. In short it was all about the courses I'll have to take next year and a more in-depth introduction to my college at UCSD (which is split into 6 sub-colleges). There was stuff about housing, student activities, and peer counseling, etc etc.
Best part of the orientation was that I found myself a roommate. It was kind of unexpected too because I wasn't planning on making any new friends. I'm actually kind of quiet when I meet people the first time around. But this girl and I just clicked really well, primarily because we had so many similarities: we're both Cantonese, both live in the LA area, both took German as the high school foreign language, and wheee we both like Japanese music/dramas. I don't think she's a huge JE fan, but she definitely knows them. Her most definite favorite is Utada Hikaru. :D And she's really relaxed about everything, so that's perfect for me. We just kept talking and talking and eventually we were both like "oh hey maybe we should room together!" So we both threw in our roommate requests as soon as we got home. :D Hopefully everything will work out!
