Walk Down the Memory Lane

젝스키스, in German and in English: Sechs Kies, was a Korean boy group of six. In German, their name means six jewels.. so I guess they were aiming to be the JEWELS OF KPOP. And they certainly were. THEY HAD MY WITTLE KOREAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GIRL'S HEART FOR SURE. PLUS !! I met my favourites, 강성훈 + 은지원 (Kang SungHoon and Eun JiWon) right before I moved to Vancouver. I think it was my destiny to like them. I was rewarded.. I was a good child. KARMA MATTERS, CHILDREN !!
Well so yeah, thought about them.. I had some time.. and with YouTube's magic I was able to go through them and this other Korean boy band I was quite infatuated with, G.O.D. I even did video swipes through HOT, Fin.K.L., and S.E.S.. The music and the skills these groups have are blatantly different from the idols in Korean music industry these days.
Just a couple of videos that are still open on my tabs. Enjoy ~







AHHAHHHAHAHHAA

THIS IS WHAT MY PAL SHAWN ZHU MADE THE OTHER DAY. I want to make it myself. I was shocked at its amazingness. PLEASE AGREE WITH ME.

And always a great big nod to styling hats + waves. Calming. Want sunshine and more beach dates. Haven't gone down to the beach all summer.. YET. THE DAYS ARE TO COME !

Speaking of waves.. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THAT CUTE KID WAVVES !? FROM LA !??!? Used to listen to him loads but have stopped. Makes pure noise. Check him out.

lovely

These are recent collections from places around the world wide web that sparks INSTANT LOVE from my heart. My pimples pop and go away through these pictures. So many love bubbles; enough to fill all the carbon bubbles inside a 2L Coca Cola.

their band name sounds like a teen band

BUT THEIR SOUND AIN'T THAT AT ALL.

Meet LOCAL NATIVES from Los Angeles. Their sound is straight from LA and nowhere else. I was introduced to them through my good friend, Sam. She casually and somewhat forcefully opened my eyes to music back in the day, and she dutifully still keeps that task up !! LOVE YOU !!
But my beloved Sam aside, really. Get a taste of them. They are so good that even their awful band name is growing on me. Hope this band sparks something inside and that you can loosen a few screws inside your brain and start doing junk that you'd regret later on. Keep dreaming.

This is why one reads

Men's NONNO. Plus I guess other Japanese magazines. Because they inspire you to the max.. There was even a spread about COOKING. This ain't a fashion magazine nor a lifestyle magazine. It's basically one that covers everything from music to literature to fashion to food to city life. It is everything in one BIBLE-LIKE MAGAZINE that one should read faithfully month to month. If Men's NONNO disappears from my life, I wouldn't know where to go. Funny. I don't even understand Japanese.. and am also not a man.. why am I so gung-ho about this all !? LOL.

THERE WERE MANY PAGES OF DELICIOUS LOOKING SMALL-PORTIONED JAPANESE FUSION FOOD. Here's a cut of the one I likeyed the mosty. Teehee. I'm really into raw eggs.

These shots are from other Japanese magazines that I racked into my knowledge base including, Fudge, Zipper, HighFashion, Men's Joker, AnOther Man.. I believe that to be all...... hopefully. Ahahhaa.

Some white on white exposure lookbook shots.

It's all about the patterns. I like the floral harem capris right there in the center. Pair that one up with the blue blazer underneath then a long RAINCOAT on top would fit the weather perfectly here at Vancouver. UGH. It's June 2nd btw. We're scheduled for THUNDER SHOWERS this afternoon.

I thought the clothes he were wearing made him look too hot. My ideal man would wear all four outfits Monday, Tuesday, skip Wednesday for rest, Thursday, and freaky Friday.

Men's Nonno is so simple. It outlines which sort of hoodies to buy from where for how much. But I guess I focus more on this innocent-looking too cute of an Asian boy model. Other scans below shows MANY PIECES to choose from. This is when you play that game: IF YOU CAN GET ANY FROM THIS PAGE WHICH YA WAAANT ?????? It's the best game when reading magazines. It's engaging !!

So the above tells you about how to put on great outfits and then they have few editorials here and there scattered about in the magazine to show you the outfits. AREN'T THEY THE MOST SCRUMPTIOUS AND EASY-TO-WEAR MENSWEAR !?!???!?!

What blonde has looked this cute playing a fake miniature piano !? If I did that.. People would proceed to tell me to get a life. Plus, check out those sweet lacy gloves in the second picture. For some reason, they seem REALLY SEXY to me. +0+ !!

Okay. That's enough for a day. I've got more. Those will be up sometime later. I've recovered from the loss of many pictures (RIP) and have moved on by spending mad times with friends. My mother sort of disapproves of my lifestyle these days telling me that I am QUITE UNPRODUCTIVE. Maybe that sparked sth in me inside to post THIS.
Other than that, I made a gmail account last night on a whim after getting much criticism from the world for using hotmail. I mean what's wrong with hotmail !? Whatevs. So when I feel like moving on with my life.. I will make an official switch, but til then. Hotmail will continue on. :D :D :D

getting out of bed

on the wrong side. Really means this. I just deleted a whole worth of pictures from my camera that weren't downloaded on to the computer yet.
Kill me now. I was trying to get them on to the computer to blog with them.. Guess all the effort of taking pictures was all for nothing. What a waste.
Don't feel like doing anything for awhile today.
Bye byes.

T - 2 DAYS

IS MY ECON MIDTERM !! YAAAY !! HARDCORE STUDY TIMESS !! I really really really really really don't like how this week is unfolding though. I better be rewarded this weekend. So sick right now, can't control my manly voice changes. UFFUFUUFUFU. Call me, kiddums, and you'd think you got a wrong numbaaaa WOO HOO !!

I don't really watch TV. But I thought this was the cutest picture of the cast of Friends way back when, published in The Rolling Stone. I LOVE PHOEBE !! <3333333
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
On a side note, I started watching Glee. I'm on like episode six or sth like that of the first season.. I fell asleep in my chair whilst watching it the other night. I've got this video player thingie from Korea that automatically moves on to the next episode. It's TOO GOOD AND EASY to waste time watching shows or even movies. LOL.

FONTS MADNESS !! I believe both of these are from Dazed & Confused. These fonts KILL. You don't understand. They transcend our time. JUST WATCH THEM BECOME THE CALIBRI IN 10 YEARS. WAGAHGHAGH.

Remember the pioneering Alfred Hitchcock !? He made all of those thrillers and dramas back in the day. Starred in most of them, too. They're still good classics to rewatch, but slow as hell. And the action sucks. We are truly spoiled these days with all the glorious things that can be achieved through some high quality CG.

I LIKE THIS GIRL. And what she's carrying. Couple more blankets and perchance a stray cat would perfect this look.

LASTLY.. THIS PICTURE IS SO CUTE AND ..INFORMATIONAL !?!???!?! LOL
Shows us the silhouettes of fashions in decades, reaching back all the way to 1775.

Hope these pictures were some sort of fun to y'all. :) :) :)
I figured something out last night when I was blogging. I figured that us bloggers like to post videos. Music videos, trailers, vlogs, or what not, but the readers don't click on them much, unless they look FASCINATING ~~ Ahahahhahaa. DO YOU !? CUZ I CERTAINLY DON'T. Usually the music ones. But just when the screen cap of the video features GREAT JUNK. BUT WE ALL LOVE PICTURES !! DON'T WE !? Not even really the captions. BUT EYE-CATCHING PICTURES.
Yeah.
That was sort of my epiphany of the day last night. Therefore, I'll try my best to blog more PICTURES + IMAGES than long posts of endless vids. Ahahhahaa.

OFF TO STUDYING MORE MACROECONOMICS I GO !! +0+ !!

song of the day + MORE MORE MORE

LET US GO WILD ON YOUTUBE. LEMME POST A SONG AFTER ANOTHER.
WANT TO GO SWIM. NEED TO EXERCISE !!

Don't judge me. I just can't get over these skinny clean looking Korean boys. I find this attraction quite queer, too, but why not enjoy it !? Heh heh heh :) :) :) My favourite one on the very left !!


Remember these kids ?? It's rediscovering bands that make our tummies all happy.


Japanese indie bands have come and sorta swept Vancouver past Saturday night. I couldn't attend, but my friend showed me videos of the bands that came. This ones called Gumi and they hit pillows to make beats. That's how awesome they are.


Also another Japanese indie band, Mothercoat. This vid's sick; it's almost better than the song itself. These days, I find myself getting influenced by MVs a lot more than before. If the MV is awesome, I'll listen to the song even if it is only mediocre. If the MV sucks, I'll probably not look for the song another day. It's a very modern method of marketing by bands, I believe.

birkenstock love

Today, I also wore these Birkenstock's. I love them to death; probs easily makes my PRIZED POSSESSIONS LIST. AHHAHA. Also because they heal damaged and wildly aching feet from overdose of heels. Anyhow, forgot to snap snap pictures today. Actually, haven't been too good lately with the picture taking machine. This is just another outfit post of ones I wore to school. (They are still pretty nerve wrecking, I must admit !!) Oh, and these are taken by my blackberry.. Mmm, so pardon the photo qualitaaay ~~
Wearing LEFT & BOTTOM: essential pearls, em polham shirt dress, ferragamo grey boxy coat
Wearing RIGHT: Mom's old pj's made into a skirt. I like re-using pieces.. a lot. LOL

Summer's here. Check out G-Dragon, one of my favourite Koreans.

Summer's here. Check out Vogue Nippon and their tasty editorials. Tasty meaning delicious to my eyes. Vogue Nippon produces the editorials that I end up referring back to for whatever the reason, unlike Vogue US which produces boring ones - usually.
Editorial's called, Just the Two of Us.

Frida Gustavsson in more Vogue Nippon editorial. Frida is so angelic that I'm sure that she was sent by God himself from heaven to share her beauty with the beautyless.

STREET SNAPS. The thing that really riles me up is the fact that even though I gave my all studying Japanese this past year, I forgot so much kanji that I can't even read anything much. I thought I'd be able to. FML.

DAZED AND CONFUSED JAPAN.. Thomas Penhouse shot by Ben Toms. Menswear is not my guilty pleasure, it is my very explicit pleasure. I think I enjoy reading GQ way more than NYLON. No offense to Nylon lovers, but I feel as if Nylon is the same issue reprinted every month. BO-ring.
PS. This male model, Penhouse, hurts me with his bony beauty. I love him. He makes the hard-cut suits look so delicate.

And on the way back from my friend's today (we played RockBand 2 + Mario + MarioKart ALL DAY LONG ..and ate like pigs, too) we talked about Slamdunk. This got me all pumped up for manga reading, so as soon as I entered my house, I super-glued my ass to my chair and read Bakuman to save yet another page featuring my 2D love, NIIZUMA EIJI !! LOVE THIS CHARACTER. He plays with toy figurines and is a genius, need I say more !?
