- RIP MICHAEL JACKSON I’ll only say it here here because I never did on Twitter and lost a bunch of followers (dude, I KNOW! It’s the end of the world!!). Anyway, some of my favorite MJ songs are Billie Jean and Will You Be There. ♥
- Whose going to be the next celebrity to pass and almost take the internet with them? I almost died because I kept on seeing a blank white screen on Twitter!! That’s when you really start appreciating Mr. Fail Whale because then at least you know Twitter is on it.
- (NOTE: I started this entry in mid-May). Because of the
recentearthquakes in L.A., I was thinking that if something catastrophic happened in Vancouver (eg. “THE BIG ONE“), I think the first thing I’d do is Twitter about it even if Richmond was sinking and a giant tidal wave was rushing to my house. - I love how Twitter’ers get soo shocked when you say that you’re “not in the mood for shopping.” But I guess IT IS QUITE SHOCKING.
- Weird geeky “fetish” = blogs with the Blix Wordpress Theme (even though it’s all over the internet)! I think it’s a great first impression (especially for newer blogs) because the theme is so clean and it’s always been one of my favorites. Besides, a lot of the blogs I religiously follow once had the Blix theme up the first time I visited.
- Move over
Tasha, Lexy,Yubin, CL and Miryo:
Like- @kisschanel Chanel doesn’t bullshit… well she probably doesn’t know how because she’s all about keeping it real!
She’s straight-forwards, speaks her mind and doesn’t care if she pisses people off. I think if I met her in real life, I’d be so intimidated that I’d run and hide in box for a week so it’s a good thing that I can stalk her on Twitter. - @McCainBlogette I learned so much more about her and gained so much more respect for Meghan after following her on Twitter.
- @godzirrraaaaa Jen is probably one of the longest bloggers I’ve
knownstalked. She’s a goddess, a designer, is into politics and a total inspiration… and you must check out her photography! Just don’t follow her if you’re an Obama-worshipper! - @angry_azn_woman Tiff is my favorite angry Asian woman. She’s angry. And she’s Asian. Well I don’t think she’s that angry but she claims she is.
- @xppinkx Everyone on the blogger network knows and loves Pam! I love her tweets because she Twitpics a lot and usually about food. Hot girl obsessed with food? What more can you ask for?
- @Seoulbeats Ellie and the crew makes K-Pop all that much more interesting. They don’t Tweet as much as I’d like but they’re on the list because I LOVE SeoulBeats!
- @SavageMike Always entertaining to read and I especially love his Atheist tweets.
- @JohnChow John’s the famous dude who makes a gazillion dollars blogging. Plus he’s super nice!
- @starbucksbreak I’ve been reading Cheryl’s blog for a long time but I just started following her on Twitter. She’s witty, sarcastic and all that stuff that doesn’t make you a bore.
- @allkpop Screw Perez (not like I ever read his blog anyway), it’s all about Korean celebrity gossip!
Who are you favorite Twitter’ers and WHY?
Here are some of my ALL TIME favorite songs (most of them are old). Sorry guys, it’s mostly K-Pop because once I get into my K-Pop phase, I don’t listen to anything else! The Backstreet Boys were lucky that I didn’t start listening to Korean music until I was 13 or else they would’ve lost one obsessive teeny-boppin’ fan. I tried to do 1 artist + 1 song but it didn’t work too well because I had to cheat. In no particular order:
-
SS501 – Wings of the World
Loved how my Kyu and Young Saeng got teary while singing this… it’s definitely one of their best ballads. Must add Find because I love Young Saeng’s voice (although I wish everyone else got to sing more) and I also love Deja Vu but I wish JM didn’t try to speak English in the beginning. Out of all the groups, SS501 still tops my list because of their music and distinctive personalities. They are one of the most underrated groups IMO.
BUT thank god their “cutsey” (WTF DSP!!) days are over… on with their new look please! - Epik High – Love Love Love
Epik High is definitely one of the BEST groups in Korea! I love 95% of their songs. If you like hip hop, check them out (don’t worry, I wouldn’t consider them a “boy band” at all). - Big Bang – Haru Haru
Asian guys with make up? Have to love them anyway.
My thoughts on BB: they really only need Tae Yang, T.O.P. and G-Dragon, why does G-Dragon always play the main character in all their music videos and I LOVE T.O.P.’s voice!! - G-Dragon – This Love
At first, I found this song sooo annoying but I’ve developed a strange obsession for it. I love watching our dear little leader perform; maybe it’s the fact that it amuses me when he looks so feminine in some of their videos with all that make up on or because it’s always entertaining to analyze what he’s wearing. Here’s an English version.Sorry guys, I couldn’t resist!! Don’t be surprised, it’s only G-Dragon.
I burst out laughing every time I see the rabbit and the naked woman drawing shirt! You can't say BLAME THE STYLIST with him because he'd probably wear some of these outfits on his own anyway... but what IS Mr. YG thinking, letting him do this to himself?! If it was anyone else, they might get bashed and lose fans but he can because well... he's G-DRAGON!!
-
Lexy ft. Tae Yang & T.O.P. – Super Fly
One of my favorite female Korean rappers and my two favorites from Big Bang! - YG Family – YMCA
This songs brings back sooo many memories. Gotta love YG!! - Drunken Tiger – G-Fresh
This was THE song that got me into Korean music. - T – Black Happiness
Love Tasha!! Her and Tiger JK was the most perfect union of Korean-ness. Sigh. - 1TYM – Falling In Love
Another one of the songs that got me into Korean music. I honestly love ALL of 1TYM’s songs and I think they are a classic so here’s a couple more: The Reason Why I Close My Eyes, Without You, One Love and Can’t Let You Go. - Jinusean – Telephone Number
I had a hard time choosing one Jinusean song too! Their first song I heard was the How Deep is Your Love remake. -
How can you not stare at Hero's freakishly PERFECT face (and hair)?
DBSK- O
I like DBSK but I think it’s stupid to have so many different names… I was like WTF is a TVXQ? I thought it was a DVD player but anyway DBSK’s got the whole package, look like they came straight out of an anime and have a lot of awesome songs including Rising Sun and Love in the Ice. They’re probably the biggest boy band in Asia although I never really got into the whole DBSK/DVD player obsession. - Fly to the Sky – Condition Of My Heart
Another one of the first Korean songs I’ve heard and one of the best songs EVER (because Brian and Fany sang it). Le sigh. - Yoo Seung Jun ft. Yuki Hsu – Can’t Wait
This song came out so long ago yet I can still listen to it over and over and not get sick of it! I also use to think that YSJ was the hottest thing ever to grace our earth except I’ll always remember hating the blue jumpsuit he wore in this video because it looks like he’s wearing a giant blue condom. Oh well. - Shinhwa – Angel
Did you think I was going to leave Shinhwa out of the list? -
Super Junior – Marry You
The thought of a THIRTEEN member boy band is just a LITTLE intimidating (I mean, Korean names are hard enough to learn if you’re not Korean) but I won’t judge and have to admit, I just LURVE their music. It’s a shame how some of the best voices get drowned out though… seriously, who’d want to be in a 13-member boy band if they had a choice? - Clazziquai Project – Love Mode
I love Clazziquai Project because their music is very mellow and soothing. Plus DJ Clazzi and Alex is from Vancouver! I only started listening to them after watching Alex on the Korean TV show, We Got Married. - 2NE1 – Fire
This is one of those songs you have to listen to a few times before you get totally addicted but I just had to add these girls to the list! I’m not a huge fan of Korean girl groups because their voices can get really annoying but I think it’s the fact that 2NE1 was bred by YG! I can’t wait to see where they go and the release of their first album.
And the stuff I absolutely love that everyone can understand:
- Bryan Adams, Sting & Rod Stewart – All For Love
- Guns N’ Roses – November Rain
- Phil Collins – True Colors
- Lady Gaga – Just Dance
- Rihanna – Disturbia
Where to get these songs? YESASIA of course (if you want to go the legal route). If you really want to support your favorite [overseas] artist, I suggest you buy their albums because some of them really depend on their album sales. Do you have any favorite [Asian] songs?
Sorry everyone, will be back to blog soon. Meanwhile FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!
