LUCKY!

What's up? Another KHJ-related entry?

Hmmmm.. YES!LOL

Let's start! KHJ will be releasing his album on the 11th! Yesterday, his management company issued the announcement about his comeback next month. His fan clubs led by KHJPerfect and MiClub already started giving out information about pre-order and other fan support.

Honestly, I was really tired and depressed yesterday because we have some issues in our apartment. Problem is, those people are also in my workplace, so I have to deal with them and the issue even if I don't want to. I wanna freak out yesterday, good thing this news came out!
Thanks Hyun Joongie!

So let's talk about his comeback! This comeback is kinda different from his previous one. Why? This time, it's gonna be tougher! Last time, he won 2 MNet and 2 Music Bank trophies, but this time, it's kinda different. There is no assurance that he will be winning because he's going up against SNSD. Admit it or not, SNSD is a probably one of the toughest opponents you could have if you're a Kpop artist. If you wanna win any award, make sure you get out of their way. It could be an exagerration but somehow there's truth in it. However, they won't be making a comeback on the same date. SNSD is scheduled to comeback on the first week of Oct. Hyun Joong will release his album on the 11th, then comeback on the 20th because he needs to go to Japan on the 15th for the TFS event. Grrr. I kinda hate this TFS event, why do they have to schedule it on the week of his supposed comeback? Because of this, he would loose 1000+ broadcast which might affect his chance of winning. Oh well, I know Japan is an important market but please, can you just wait? Gosh, they're really taking advantage of his popularity!

Forgive me for ranting too much. Just like other KHJ fans, I just want KHJ to win again. It's not about the trophy, its the recognition that I want for him. He's working doubly hard to improve his craft, so I only one the best for him.

Against SNSD, he needs higher album sales and higher download sales. Before I bought two albums from pre-order courtesy of Perfect. I got one from my student for free. So, I was able to contribute 3 on his album sales. This time, I am thinking of buying more but I do it the same way before, it would cost me a lot. I'm thinking if I would ask my friend's help who's in Korea right now. As much as possible, I don't want to because she's there for work and she might need assistance from other CS there if I ask her help. Few days ago, one of my co-teachers told me that her student told her that he knows someone from the company who always buys KHJ albums and products. He didn't name the teacher but I felt guilty. Talk about my image, a KHJ fangirl. I love it! Hahaha. Kinda shy about it, but I don't regret it. I couldn't say, I don't care about it but I think I need to be more careful. Sorry HJ! I'm a very private person and I don't want other people feast on my life. LOL. I need to find a way wherein I can help increase his sales without sacrificing my pocket and my image. Hahaha. But if I don't have any choice, I'm willing to let go of my image....for the LOVE of Hyun Joong. LOL

According to the news, his album is entitled "LUCKY" and his carrier single would be "Lucky Guy." He said that his character in this album is more of the Sanji-character in One Piece. My God, he really likes One Piece. Should I watch One Piece now? LOL. Like what I've said before, this guy is such a lucky one because of everything. His popularity is taking over Asia and he's getting more famous outside Asia. Hyun Joong ah, please take my advice, after your drama next year, explore other countries OUTSIDE ASIA!

How I Got Into Kpop?

How I Got Into Kpop?

I've Got a very short answer for you: KHJ!

To start with, lemme state that I've been teaching ESL to Korean students since 2006. ESL refers to English as Second Language. Here, we teach English to Korean students through a certain program, which could be video or phone. Being a teacher since 2006, I've encountered different kinds of students, been exposed to their culture and everything. Since I'm a teacher and I had to be aware of anything related to them, I had to research about their culture, language, and other things including their rising (debatable, if some don't agree) Kpop phenomenon.

I'm aware of their famous Kpop artists like TVXQ, BoA, Super Junior, Wondergirls, Big Bang, Girl Generation. However, none of them got me into Kpop. And that's a FACT! Deal with it, baby! I actually tried listening to their songs because I was quite fascinated with their popularity. When you're curious what's inside a bag, you have to open and look inside right? And that's what I did. I watched videos and of course downloaded some of their famous songs to satisfy my curiousity. But sad to say, no one got me into Kpop. :( It's hard to explain the reason but to simplify things, let's just say that they didn't charm me.

It was 2009 when things changed. Thanks to this young lad who caught my attention from the first day I saw him.

This skinny guy from BOF, famously known as Yoon Ji Hoo kept me watching Boys Over Flower. That's true, If I would only watch the other characters, I would just probably chose to sleep. From BOF, I did my homework of researching about him to the fullest. LOL. I spent long hours in front of the computer watching his videos to make up for the lost time. Lost time since he debuted in 2005, I missed almost 4 years! Damn! I'm so ignorant! LOL. I didn't have any intention of buying ipod but because of him, I bought one so I could watch his videos anytime I want. Am I telling a lot? lol

However, I felt that I'm still lucky coz I was able to know him. I'm really thankful to BOF because I got to know Kim Hyun Joong, and because of him, another world has opened for me to enjoy and explore. The language might be a problem because I only knew few Korean words but I don't mind it at all. I might not be able to understand them fully but somehow in my heart, I could feel the melody and it's real meaning.

This guy who got me into Kpop, is not of course the greatest singer in Korea. His fans know that, but everytime he performs and sings, I can feel his sincerity and emotions. Something that some singers who can hit high notes lack. Before I used to ask myself, what's so special about him? What separates him from the others? Why am I giving a lot of attention to him? I don't have to answer those questions anymore because I already know. He's THE ONE! When you found the ONE, you won't look for anyone else. You will just be happy and contented with him around.

I Chose You...

Let's just say that another blogger inspired me to be write this entry. However, even before I wanted to write this, coz this is how I feel.

Look I've been fan of SS501 for quite some time now since I watched Boys Over Flower. The guy playing the role of Yoon Ji Hoo caught my attention even if the other F4 guys were also good-looking, but I guess his charisma is quite special and unexplainable. Through him, I got to know four great young men who just want to perform and make their fans happy.

However, change is the only constant thing in this world. Whether we like it or now, a group is bound to be disbanded or whatever you call it.

To be honest, I am one of those who are happy that they decided to concentrate on their own careers. Why? Because I want them to grow. I don't want them to grow old being part of an idol group. I want them to improve their skills, learn how to stand on their own, and become famous individually coz I believe all of them are worth the love and popularity.

However, as a fan, I cannot promise to look at all of them. Admit it or not, in a group, you will always have a bias or a favorite. And in this said group, my heart only belongs to Leader. Finally, I would like the world to know that I'm a Henecian, not a Triple S. My appreciation and love for SS started with HJ and it would end with HJ. If HJ leaves, so do I. If HJ and the others come back as a group, I would be very happy since I've learned to appreciate the other four.
But for now, I have to make this decision. ^^



P.S.
I am certainly happy with what's going on HJ's career. From being idol, his popularity really soared higher, as in very high. Of course, it is attributed to a lot of reasons, but bottom line is his hardwork and determination are paying off. I believe he'll become more famous in the coming years, he's just starting actually. kkkk. As his fan, I'm praying that somehow in spite of his popularity, he lives a normal life. This man is making a lot of people happy, so he deserves to be happy, too. And whoever that person who's making HJ happy these days, thank you. (Oh Hani?) LOL.

Thanks to WONDERRRGIRL for inspiring me to write this piece of entry. ^^ This entry is difficult to write because I have friends who love the group so much, but this is the path I chose and I know they will respect me. :)

Wish me Luck!

Bloggin through my email..

What can I say, I'm pretty messed up these days because of QA. I have to evaluate 6 teachers and I have to pass it before the 24th.

Gosh! How can I watch their classes if I do have classes, too.

Wish me luck!

And by the way, I don't have any Facebook now. I'm happy and contented coz I don't have to update anything everyday. I'm contented with Twitter and much happier that I can keep my privacy. Of course I miss FB coz of some few friends there but I feel a lot better now.

Cheers!

The only thing I regret bout having no Facebook is lack of means to communicate with him, but I have to get used to it. In the future, I believe our paths will cross again. And when that happens, I won't let him go.

Sigh. I really love my angel.
