“I’m fine” =  Biggest Lie Ever

Jabba

This is my other dog from America.  He is a shetland sheepdog and I have had him for about five years already.

Can’t you see the love showing in his eyes? What a cutie pie.

So Nyuh Shi Dae (SNSD) , also known by their English name Girl’s Generation, is a nine member Korean girl group. 9 members? What the heck, right?

Yeah, that was my initial reaction when I found out about them about a year and a half ago. But with Super Junior having 13 members, I’m guessing maybe the Korean music industry likes ‘em bigger, eh? Ha

How did they catch my attention? Well, apart from being intrigued about a group that has 9 members, I thought that they had this cute girly “girl next door” type image where, like, everyone wanted to be friends with them because they are so fun to be around. Despite their big status in Korea, the girls also seemed down to earth and  humble and grounded.

My transformation into becoming a fan had three stages. When I first watched their music videos, I ended up just liking the song. When I first watched their live performances, I started to think, “Hey, I like this group. They are adorable and energetic.” Lastly, when I first watched their variety shows and interviews, it was THEN where I became a total and true fan of theirs because they captured me with their energy, funny charisma, and humbled innocence.

Honestly, it took me forever to learn their names because:

1. There are nine members

2. Some of them look the same

3. Did I mention that there are 9 members?

But I finally know them. And I will name them for you. In the above picture from left to right, in the top row its Taeyeon ( leader), Sunny, and Tiffany. In the middle row from left to right its Hyoyeon, YoonA, Jessica, and YuRi. And in the bottom row its Seohyun and Sooyoung.

It really is hard to pick a favourite because I like them all. And without one, the group would not be what it is. But if I had to pick one..it would be Tiffany, one of the American girls. All I can say is…eye smile, much? You’ll get what I am saying in a later post.    : D

Here is their cult hit “Gee”, which was released earlier this year in January. Seriously…this song was HUGE and is what really made them burst into the spotlight and established themselves in the music industry.

And here is their most recent hit “Tell Me Your Wish ( Genie ) “, which was released in late June. This album had a sexier image than the Gee album, but I like it because its sexy enough where it isn’t too sexy. Its sexy girly, which allowed for the group to still seem as respectable young ladies who did not have their innocence destroyed. It wasn’t sexy American sleazy, which is TOTALLY AND UTTERLY TRASHY if you ask me. Yes America,  I am telling you that you need to fix that problem.

Well, I hope you enjoy my favourite Korean group.  And always remember…SNSD Hwaiting!

Not so long ago, I believed that getting tan was actually a good thing.

I started believing that when I was about…12?

Stupid girl.

Now I am the total opposite. When did I change my view on this matter? Hmm…I really don’t know. Maybe around when I was sixteen and a half. And yes, that half does matter.

If I get a shade darker, I will freak. Honestly. I went to Bali for Lebaran break. And the whole time I hid from the sun.Plus, I constantly put on sunblock. The consequence? My acne broke out. Ehhh

I’m already dark as it is. So I am not going to  try and get a tinge darker, thank you very much.

I hate that I am two different people at home and at school.

Honestly, I am total opposites.

Question is…which one is closer to my true self?

Electronicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

How cute.

But this picture from the internet will suffice.

Since I am on break, I have been having an abundance of quiet, contemplative time to myself where I reflect experiences and bask into my hopes and dreams.

Even though my interests are constantly changing as I grow older and mature, I still haven’t forgotten or lost hope in my dream to make a difference in people’s lives, whether that difference is through service to the world community or through just being that one unforgettable person who impacted or bettered someone.

Because you know what? Making other people truly happy makes me genuinely happy.

My school needs school spirit.

I know we are not in America…but, hey  still.

I think I STAND OUT …

when we do school related activities….cause i show excitement that everyone else fails to show.

For example, during lunch, stands that sell food  and drinks are set up near the cafeteria. It is to raise money for school. You should see me. Honestly. I :

• am the loudest
• try to draw attention to the stands so people can buy and support the school
• get so excited that I lose control of my mind..then I get fidgety and twitchy
• ..and so much more

But in my excitement, I sometimes tend to:

• get delusional to the fact that I am so concerned with getting people to buy stuff that I don’t pay attention what is said to me
• perspire. yes, promotional activities is tiring. no joke.
• don’t eat lunch and end up suffering later from dying of hunger.

But you know what my biggest problem is?

Because I want to contribute as much as I can to school…sometimes I am the one that ends up buying the stuff even though I do not want it. Yesterday, I bought 5 chocolate bananas from the stand set up by the Koreans. Did I eat any? No. I just gave it away to my friends. Along with the chocolate bananas,I gave away the chicken coke I bought. And the day before…I bought 4 portions of fried fish balls from the Korean stand as well.  I swear…whenever I walk up to their stand I can see their smiles brighten up. I am their biggest customer! But oh no, it isn’t just the Korean stand. Also yesterday, along with the chocolate bananas and the chicken coke, I bought three fruity drinks from the stand by the Indonesians and one cold coffee drink. None of them for me, of course.

I had this same problem in America. Last year, we almost did not have enough money for prom and I went crazy as well. But that is just me. Anything having to do with fund raising, count me in. I am your marketing/promotion person..anyone can do marketing and stuff  but who at school has the spirit like me? I am not trying to brag or anything…but that is just a thing that I have noticed…

How did I get this way?

Well I DID come from an American high school…what did you expect?

Anyway, I hope my spirit and eagerness for fund raising will spread to everyone at my school. And I hope they understand WHY I AM THIS WAY. Mhhh, actually I don’t care what they think. I think that every school needs some sort of school spirit and pride…so if I look weird and like a freak…at least its for the sake of the school. HAHA

P.S. You are probably wondering what chicken coke is. HAHAHA it is not coke poured on chicken. It is chicken served with a cup of coke.   : D  I really wonder what the chicken tasted like…I think next time I need to taste what I buy before giving it away to my friends.

Recently, I have spent hours watching the Fashion Television channel, but it is not for the reason one would think. Sure, seeing new fashions excites me…and I actually am envious of some of the clothes because they look so…fashionable. But that is not why I watch Fashion TV. Nooopee, no, no, noo. Try this.

The music.

You know why?

Because it is classy and vogue-ish. Yes, vogue-ish.  I don’t really know how to explain it and I think that is the best I can come up with. But music of that sort has always appealed to me.

Here is a song that I found out about on Fashion TV:

( Just ignore the video and bask in the greatness of this song. )  : D
