VuVox Collage - 13th Ballroom Classic at SJSU

Happy Thanksgiving! I took these photos last Saturday. This was my first time attending a ballroom dance competition. It was pretty fun to watch. I have no dance skills whatsoever but that's a different blog post :) If you'd like to view this through a larger scale, click here to go to its vuvox.com page.

Funny Glee scene

I <3 Glee. I laughed out loud when I saw this scene from episode 2 from the first season. Showing a different side of any story character is always interesting :)

Cute skit on Korean tv show (with subs)

I have a four page essay due tomorrow, and I have yet to decide on my thesis. Eek. ANYWAY,

I gotta admit.. this skit is pretty cute, despite its unrealistic outcome (I make it a point to be pessimistic about these kinds of things).

I don't know who the two kids are, but their grown-up counterparts in the skit are both in popular bands in South Korea. The last guy is Nickhun from the boy band 2PM, and the older girl is YoonA from girl group So Nyuh Shi Dae (SNSD/Girls' Generation). The guy in the glasses playing the fake Nickhun is... someone I don't know. They don't film the audience in this show, so the people seated in the blue seats are star guests. Enjoy the cute skit :]

Subtitles in pink

"I love you" by Mate

I heard this song during one of Taeyeon's ChinChin recorded radio shows. Since I don't understand the language (yet. haha), I posted a comment asking if anyone could tell me the song's title and original singer, and about a week later someone replied saying it's "난 너를 사랑해  by 메이트(Be Mate)."

I would love to find out the lyrics of this simple and emotional song, but I'm sleepy.

'난 너를 사랑해'(I love you) - 메이트(Mate).

"His Voice" by SeeYa

I've been looking for this song on iMeem with no success. In the meantime, I'll post it here so I won't forget the name of the it. I really like the beginning where they have the piano and bass beat playing together.

TIME.com released a list of their chosen top 25 best blogs of 2009. Why mine is not there I have no idea.

"Love Rain" by Kim Tae Woo

I'm totally digging this song right now. It just came out not 2 months ago, and Kim Tae Woo has already been given an Inkigayo Mutizen, a spot for 3 consecutive weeks on K-Chart, and an M! Countdown trophy. Ye, I am now just a little tiny bit familiar with Korean pop culture :)

This is his music video for "Love Rain" or in Korean, "Saranghae Bi." I made sure it was subbed in English ^^. The song starts around 2:05.
