[DIGITAL SINGLE - KPOP] TaeYang (BIG BANG) ▪ Wedding Dress

"Wedding Dress" is TaeYang's new digital single for his upcoming studio album to be released January or someday close to that. It's a slow R&B song which sounds very reminescent of Park Bom's "You And I". It's definitely better than "Where U At", which is pure garbage plus an amount of shit, but it still didn't catch my attention much. Most of these produced by Teddy songs sound like rip-off of Western songs to me.

20 Things You May Not Know About Me

Random Facts and I wait to go to Fry's and take a break from my school assignments.

1. I have the short-term memory of a goldfish (seriously) and will even forget things mid-sentence! But I have an insanely good long-term memory and can remember specific details from anything from a week to 10+ years ago.
2. I went to law school because I didn't want to learn Finance/Calculus in MBA school. I also figured law is something that relates to our daily lives and I'd learn a lot! Too bad it's type-casting me into becoming a lawyer... Boo, 24/7 drafting legal documents *laugh*
3. I became a total penny-pincher since law school started! Or since I've had to save up for my wedding *laugh* Unemployment /cries!
4. I call dibs on the baby names of Jacob and Sophie/Sophia!!
5. I keep telling myself to stop doing the "peace-sign," but then it comes back full force!
6. I've always dreamed of cosplaying Digiko from Digi Charat!
7. I wanted to be an Architect as a child.
8. I am the WORST at keeping in touch/networking with people. Thank goodness for Facebook & E-Mail!!
9. I rarely eat raw fish because I don't find it flavorful, dislike the texture unless it's super fresh, and mainly because it's expensive. It's a good way to save money!
10. My life feels like it's been slightly above average (75 or 80%) all my life. My ranking in school, the types of grades I get on all my assignments, art skills, language, looks, etc. But I still think I have the very best life! 100%!!
11. My favorite color as a child was Green, not Pink *laugh*
12. I dislike going to parties/events where there's alcohol due to trauma from the sound of vomiting.
13. I also rarely drink more than a few alcoholic drinks because I'm worried I'll get drunk and blab everyone's secrets! I also took a Biology class and found out what it does to your liver... It's another good way to save money!
14. I rank people into tiers so I can prioritize my time with them ^^; Myself, Brian, and my Dad are in the very top!! /spends time with myself...? LOL
15. My dream job would be to work In-House counsel with International Licensing rights for a Music/Game company.
16. I want a pet dog or cat!! By the time I have a house for them, I'm worried I'll be stuck at work all the time and they'll be lonely /sad.
17. Calling dibs on dog names! Aloha (small dog) & Friender (medium dog) ♥
18. The first CDs I ever bought were the Disney Hercules OST & the Spice Girls album XD;;
19. I'm only 25, but I keep wondering about how different I'll be when I'm 30. 20 to 25 wasn't that different... well... I got a boyfriend and now I'm going to be married. At 30, I hope I have a nice house with 2 dogs and some babies :D And still be close friends with everyone!!
20. I sometimes think that I'd want to get my jaw broken so I wouldn't be able to eat... then I'd lose weight *_*!!

[MINI ALBUM - KPOP] Rainbow ▪ Gossip Girl (EP)

Rainbow are DSP Entertainment new girlgroup that was supposed to be debuting months ago but due to some problems with the girls they're only coming now. "Gasship Gal" is their debut track and it's like a mixture of "Wanna" by Kara, their labelmates, and "Gee" by UKNOWCMON. Their voices sound so extremely high pitch and annoying. Seriously, what's up, worst vocals in a group since... ever? No, i-13 or 2NE1. Seriously. They sound like a bunch of drunk children. That's why I hate these girlgroups with young girls, most of them sound average or horrible. On other hand, song sounds ah... good? It's horrid. I hate it. But I love it. It's barely catchy and thankfully they don't use the annoying "I wanna gaaaashhip gal" on it, just on the intro and ending. The rest of the mini-album/EP is also very poppish except for the last track, which is slower.

But look. I still have mixed feelings about the "Gasship Garl" and I'm strangely addicted to it. Does that mean I like it? I felt the same about 4minute's songs and now I fucking love them. LIFE IS SO CONFUSING SOMETIMES KPOP FUCK YOU.

EDIT: F.OO.C.K! I love the single right now, except for "Gossip Girl", which I still hate to death. *still with the "AI WANA GASHIP GARL" on the head* OMG "Not Your Girl" and "I Believe" are so hawt.

[MINI ALBUMS - KPOP] IU ▪ iu...am | DNT (Dragon N Tiger) ▪ The Love In My Heart

AHHHHHH ALMOST FORGOT! DO U LIKEY THE "NEW" LAYOUT, GUYZ? I was tired of seeing f(x) every single time I was going to post and browse through the community so I put Ivy's amusingness here. :D I was also tired of clean backgrounds so... dark is better, isn't it?

"iu...im" is IU's new mini-album. Title track, "Marshmallow", is a very cute and sugary 60s-influenced song with some of French electropop. I didn't like the song when I first heard it yesterday but now I'm really liking it. It's nice even though I still hate her voice (it sounds like SNSD Jessica's, ew). The rest of the mini album is quite nice too but I miss a bit those more Pop Rock-influenced songs, the songs on "iu...im" seem a bit... cute too much.

Just telling you: the files of this mini-album have very mixed bitrate, even though they are all 320kbps. Some seem true high quality but some doesn't. Even two tracks haven't been ripped with LAME. I won't be buying this from Mnet because I don't have enough credits and I don't even like her that much, so understand. And, of course, sorry about that.

DNT (Dragon N Tiger) releases a new single album! "The Love In My Heart" is a... wut... BALLAD. :OOO Thanks for not bringing another Electronica trend song, DNT, much love to you. Why? Because it's a gorgeous R&B ballad, sounds like F.T Island and SHINee altogether! Even the other songs, "I Die..." and "To 18 Girl", are like that. I had a big doubt about their vocal talent when I heard "Crazily Pretty" and some others but now I see that they CAN sing. Such an amazing release to miss.

Any idea about Ren's present to Nana?!

Hello guys!!

I hope you're all doing well!! (I'm in a very good mood so I do hope every one else could feel as good as I'm feeling! yay! Well!)

Concerning Ren's present, what do you think it could be??!!! Personnaly, I've thought about a piece of paper with a song dedicated only to Nana (a sort of Tribute). Or could it be a key to an appartment in London?! Or something related to their commun past?!

I hope you guys will be more creative than I was!! And I'm looking forward to see what you have coming with!!

(Sorry for my english!)

Feeling: happy

It's only 2 years old... normal lifespan is 5, right?

Sad days. My Sony Vaio (VGN-SZ340P) won't boot up past the wallpaper. It boots up fine, shows me the Windows logo, and gets met to the log-in screen (I have two accounts set up on the laptop). I tested logging in from both accounts, and it'll only show the wallpaper. It won't load beyond that.

Taking a step back, the last couple week, my computer started getting lots of pop-ups while I was using Google Chrome, and then Google Chrome wouldn't load up anymore when I first open the browser. So, I switched over to Firefox, which luckily still loaded. I downloaded AdAware and Avast! to try cleaning up some of the spyware and stuff. But the pop-ups kept coming, despite my daily cleaning runs.

Some of the AdAware runs would require Reboots, and every time it cleaned, anything that was open would be closed (programs, browsers, etc.). From time to time, I also wouldn't be able to type in Japanese characters. At which time I'd have to reboot.

I did a cleaning run this morning, but didn't tell AdAware to perform the cleaning task after scanning until just a little bit ago. I did my normal stuff on the computer, and then once I was done with stuff for the time being, I restarted the computer again after I told it to perform the post-scan cleaning tasks.

Which leads me straight to what I was talking about in the first paragraph.

I've also tried hitting F2 to enter BIOS to see if there was any other way to boot up my laptop, but couldn't find anything. Then, I tried hitting F8 on the next restart to try running it in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. Both don't get me very far. The normal text that appears right before Safe Mode starts shows up on the screen, but then at the bottom, it says that it's trying to run some particular file (I'm guessing it would be pertinent to running Safe Mode), and then it suddenly reboots rather than going into Safe Mode. I Googled on this a little, and perhaps there's a virus that's disabled Safe Mode? I'm not sure...

Now, I've been told that my power supply isn't fried because my OS (Windows XP Professional) is still loading, but beyond that, I haven't got a clue. I'm looking up how to disassemble the laptop, and maybe removing the hard drive to see if it can be accessed on another computer (just found out term is called "slaving a hard drive").

I'd like to be able to save my laptop, but if I can't, then if I can at least save the stuff on the hard drive to somewhere else, then that'd be good.

I still have to check if the warranty is any good anymore, but I doubt it.

Any ideas or suggestions on what else I could do?

In the meantime, I'm using my mom's desktop PC, and I have my mini-notebook from the Paralegal class earlier this year, which I can use to access wireless. But I can't type Japanese on either of them... only on my iPod (which I need to buy a new wall-plug adapter for).

Monday Boy T-T

from Hanbooks

WHY SO EXPENSIVE?! TT____________TT;;;; I already read the first 6 volumes through scanlations and I only bought volumes 7-9 when I was in Seoul just to know the ending of this serie. But, everytimes I see the books on my desk.... I've been torturing my mind lately by saying "why did you only take 3 books and not the whole set?" and....... now, I want the complete set. lol O_O;
I wonder if it will be release in French................. since I've seen some information about it on FNAC but well, no images. *sigh*
I could sell the ones I have and get them in English or maybe in French. Otherwise, I'll buy them on Gmarket if I find them... but I fear the EMS shipping fees... OTL;;;;;;; HAHAHAHAH i'm such a complicated person! xDDD

[ALBUM/SINGLES - JPOP] Ai Otsuka ▪ LOVE is BEST | Yuna Ito ▪ Let it Go | Aya Kamiki ▪ W-B-X

"LOVE is BEST" is Ai Otsuka's new best-of album. This includes self-selected love songs that she wanted to put into an album, new versions of some ("Amaenbo, "aisu×time") and a brand-new awesome song titled "Is". Basically, this whole album is full of win. Most of my favorite Ai-chan songs are included there and I love the new version of "Amaenbo". WTF at "aisu×time" though, lol.

Oh, well. "Let it Go" is Yuna Ito's new single. First at all: this song is a pop rock number and was produced by Koichi Tabo, former guitarist of Superfly band (yah, she wasn't a solo singer). Since I first heard the song, I thought it was a garbage leftover that Ochi would feel ashamed to sing but it has certainly grown into me. It's a real nice song, she sounds amazing on it and the acoustic feeling it gives is like a breath of fresh air. The b-side, "Happy Days", sounded horrid in the preview but is really nice. It's a mixture of acoustic with songs like "BREEEEEEZIN" and "Urban Mermaid", I really love it. o_o Overall, you may enjoy this single a lot – many other people hated "Happy Days" but I'm not one of them.

CREDIX to

akemilove for this, which is her own rip. Thank you babe!

"W-B-X -W-Boiled Extreme-" is Aya Kamiki's new single and also her debut release on avex trax! Features TAKUYA, guitarist of JUDY AND MARY. Title track is the opening theme for tokusatsu series Kamen Rider W (Double) and it's A.W.E.S.O.M.E. So addictive and fresh. Aya never disappoints me, she does real great music. I hope her career on avex carries the same rockish vibe that she had on Giza. Good luck, dear!
