It's surprising how much artistic freedom can do for immensely talented people. No wonder they say YG is a really good company. :)


The majority of the songs I've been listening to are from GD&TOP/Big Bang, for nearly three days (and counting).

- okay GD's version of This Love (yes, by Maroon 5) is playing in my ears.


I've been reading some articles on YG and how they handle their artistes, they really give them the freedom to produce, write and explore new genres with their music. And look what it's done. (looks up) I think they're the ones to change Kpop. I mean, the music so far from the idol groups, but I realize I've been hearing a lot of synth. Just listen to GD&TOP's album, and you'll know why I've been listening to them so much. A standout is the Intro (it contains a sample from an English song) and Oh Yeah (ft. Park Bom). Oh god, don't even get me started on that song. :) Just watch the performances and you'll know why.



And of course, the artistes themselves. I really did notice GD for this fashion. This coming from a person who's been known to go out with more than 5 rings on both hands. His energy is infectious, and when he's performing ' High High' it really looks like he IS that, HIGH. TOP too, his charisma spews out from my iPod screen. And when you put translated lyrics to their songs, you realize where their inspiration comes from, the phrasing of their lyrics, their intonation, sigh.



Rest assured, I'm not going anywhere from Super Junior. I still respect (and listen to) them. It's just that it's nice to listen to a breath of fresh air, something that kinda blows the cutesy stuff out of the water. People have got to reinvent kpop, before it turns into something that can be lampooned.



You Google, you Youtube,
You 'Save picture as'
To feed your fetish
You talk about them during lunch
Breakfast
And when your mouth isn't full
During dinner
But it's like breathing minted oxygen (?)
It's not like I can fight this 'spew' from me
But I'm...loving what I'm hearing.

Seeing as my blog has to be urgently resurrected, and that people actually read it (thanks Iffah), here I am using a very handy app called moblog. *beams*









Man do I miss blogging. I think about it and realise that I must have been in such a humongous funk, because I havent been doing much writing, except in school and the occasional planner update (speaking of which, I want to kick myself for not doing that). Not good for me, and it's not characteristic of me either.






As such, I hope I will be able to blog more using this app (and make the most out of my phone screen's real restate which by the way, is 4.3 inches).




#Nowplaying: 'I Look To You' by Miami Horror and Kimbra




So what's been up? Foundation Prog just ended on Thurs, which means the Sec 3s are officially into their second day of Nov/Dec holidays. Not much consolation there, though. (read: holiday assignments)




And for those who know me well...I dont really go out with friends, unless you count after-school lunch and dessert @ Udders. Suprisingly, my holiday schedule is starting to look more like Fran Drescher's during Christmas season; it looks like I will be going out more often. Due to ___ dinners (cant disclose word due to fear of letting the cat out of the bag), birthday dinners, BV's public concert @ SP, camps, a literature outing, *oh my ipod just died on me* council meetings, consultations with teachers, so on and so forth.


But Im looking forward to all of this, because if I spent my holidays at home moping and surfing the net 24/7, needless I would go crazier than I already have.

And I think its no secret that I like kpop, which I previously didnt understand the hype about. But Im someone who (a) is always on the hunt for new music (b) goes for the melody, and the performance's value, so I 'left my prejudices at the table', as I often say. However, I'm curbing my enthusiasm, and Im restricting myself to certain bands/artistes, simply because I like them out of what Ive seen so far.




I guess that's it for today, lest I end up with permanent curvature of the wrists. Love you guys.
