GD&TOP Knocks Diplo Out Dumbfoundead

I’ve been a follower of Diplo’s remixes (given that I know and love the song) ever since I listened to his remix of Britney’s Circus about 2 years ago. I remember listening to that track so many times I think I preferred it over the original. Since then I’ve been on the lookout for his remixes, especially when he did Flashing Lights in Kanye’s Sky High remix album, and of course, the DFX remix of M.I.A’s Paper Planes in the Slumdog soundtrack, which added so much flavor to the already awesome song. Fast forward about a year or two, I started getting into k-pop (much to my own surprise) and have been an avid enthusiast for one year now. GD & TOP, 2 of heavyweight group Big Bang‘s rappers released a collab rap album late last year and gave it a new flavor to the apparently vapid manufactured k-pop sound by describing their music as “ghetto electro” which, you guessed it, rhymes done in electro music. I loved almost all of the songs from the …

Christmas Wishlist!

It’s that time of the year again, when it’s happy and merry and you receive a lot of gifts. Last weekend was marked the very first Christmas-themed dinner I took part in and got my first Christmas loot as well. I pretty much received everything I liked. Wallets (I LOVE WALLETS), money, accessories and clothes but that was just the beginning. I can’t wait to receive more so here I am constructing a Christmas wishlist. As I’ve said I don’t always get all of them each year but the joy of making a list is fun enough for me already.. so let’s start! More film for my Instax It’s a need that keeps on coming up and the more films stocked up the better! 50mm lens for the 550D I’m still a noob but it would be really great to get a good set of 50mm portrait lens for the camera. I love shooting portrait and it sucks when you don’t have the right lens for it right? 2PM Hottest DVD from Japan I’ve been …

The Jay Park Experience

Sunday and Monday was filled with getting nervous, getting giddy, majorly fangirling, spazzing, making posters amidst traffic and seeing this guy live on stage. 13 months of major fangirling finally got to this. Now I have 6 more guys to conquer watching! Last night was a blast, and it’s gonna show in all of my photos because they’re all shaky! A little fanaccount: Jay was being interviewed by the MC about being able to do everything (singing, dancing, b-boying, acting), would he like to do musicals in the future? Jay said, “You know, I don’t have plans right now but if it happens why not?” (something like that) and I SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS WITH MY LOUD BOOMING VOICE, “YOU’D DO IT FOR ME!!!” and Jay heard it (!!!!!) and said, “We’ll see about that!!” lmaooo that was my little moment with the man Park Jaebeom himself. The first time he came out I was shouting with all the other girls and I look to my right and my sister is sobbing with …

Music I’ve Been Enjoying

I love music so much but I rarely ever blog about it enough. Even though I’ve always been a rock and alternative girl at heart, my listening preference is never limited to a genre, nor I bash the ones I don’t like. For example I may not understand Tokio Hotel, but Tokio Hotel can do whatever they want. Anyway, now’s the time I can finally talk about the tunes I’ve been enjoying lately. Katy Perry – Teenage Dream It’s sad to say that pop wasn’t as great as when I was still a little girl. Maybe because I’m more open to other sorts of music now, plus Justin Bieber really doesn’t interest me. That being said, this track by Katy Perry is pure pop goodness. The lyrics, and the flow, it takes you back to memories and makes you feel like you’re in love again. I love it because despite the heavy falsetto in the verses, the chorus is super catchy. Great for a karaoke night with your girlfriends. Maroon 5 – Give A Little …

Double Two in Two Days

I always make a big deal about turning a year older usually right before my birthday. Ever since I was about to turn 20, I’ve always been like, “Shit I can’t believe I’m turning a year older. SO FREAKING OLD.” Then my birthday comes, and I feel the same. Sometimes it frustrates me because I want to be older in terms of outlook in life, but it seems like I’m taking a step back. Sure I’ve graduated university and currently but inside there’s major lack of maturity. The good old carefree days are gone and as much as I want to apply my carefree manner to my future I’m having a hard time because the future is kinda freaky. I recently watched this Korean film, Hello Schoolgirl, and there’s a scene in particular which resonated with me so well. I’m not scared of turning older, not scared of the experiences, it’s the fact that adults are faced with so many things at a time especially when it’s not positive, is something I don’t look forward …
