BEST PICTURE

I Got an E for Pathology of Human Anatomy and I Dream About My First Comment

This day is my exam for Parasite and I just know I screwed it up, and what worse was the score for Pathology of Human Anatomy is out, I got an E. It's so heartbreaking because so many of my friends got an A, I know I didn't study but at least they could give me a D. Once again I'm pissed, then become a hikikomori again. Btw hikikomori is a Japanese term for someone who withdrawing him/herself from social interaction, to be simple we'll call it social withdrawal (it's from manga Hayate).

That's not all, lately I've been dreaming of my first comment. My visitors is not many, but at least it hits 3 digits, and so many visitors on review post. Why can't one of them make some review like 'First comment', huh, they did read it right? Or maybe my review is so undependable that the legitimacy is doubted. Anyway, I'm dying to get my first comment, I hope it's a good one.

My review for Dear Esther is not finished because there are so many interesting things come and go I'm a bit confused heheh. But one thing for sure I really want to start writing a story, the dillema is, should I write a short story, a novel, or a fanfic instead? I know it'll be an amateur  creation, so even if I write a novel, a publisher will be hard to get. Hey I hope for the opposite but I can't throw away this negative thought.

I guess that's all for now, and... I remember I got a fabulous quote from How I Met Your Mother but I forgot, so I'll change it to Victoria's Secret angel quote (I forgot who said it)...
Be yourself, so she'll love for who you are. And if she cannot love you for who you are, why should you...
I know there are grammatical error I forgot it a little...
Pecae yowh bye bye.

[Review] JeA (제아) Just JeA

*Intro

I have made a post that told not to strained myself. I put a load on my own shoulder like 'come on, some game, some GOTY, some Rihanna, some SNSD, etc' and I realize I restrain myself that way. Hey it's my blog, I'm free to write anything and not to write anything. If I write for some website say 'allkpop or IGN' I do have responsibility, but in my own blog? The responsibility is close to none. So I'm gonna reviewing a korean EP which belongs to my favorite racoon leader JeA which belongs to (again) my favorite girl group Brown Eyed girls

**Warning this review only represent my opinion only, feel free to voice yours

Yupz, that's the playlist, if you can read Hangul. I'm trying not to beat around the bush this time, I'll just gonna say that for me JeA is the best main singer from all Korean girl group and I'm just really glad that she released a solo album that will do her justice. This marks the end, every single Brown Eyed Girls has released their own solo album. I just hope Big Bang and Brown Eyed Girls will survive long, because they are  just ... I am just speechless, they are inspirational, and what entertainment agency should learn. Sadly until now I haven't seen anyone that could be their succesor. Okay enough let's get to the album.

1.  Days & Nights (feat. Eric Benet)
I would say that this is a perfect opening track. An opening track doesn't need to elaborate or grand, they just have to be catchy enough to make listener continue to hear the album. AND the track does it job really good. The song itself is Latin with R&B infusion, it makes me remember the old J-lo and Marc Anthony, Eric and JeA's voice fit perfectly and they sound really good despite the language border. Everytime JeA sings  inenglish Eric will accompany her so does the opposite so they really cover their weakness. The lyric itself is interesting, okay, I love it, although a bit gloomy for first track. Well I love it, need I say more?

2. 길고양이
This is very very Brown Eyed Girls before 2008. A loyal listener of BEG will recognize this kind of melody, lyrics, it feels nostalgic. I can't say more since the first sentence conclude all, the R&B feel, the instrument, the notes and even the key slightly same. But this is a really good second track, because usually second track tend to be not really good so props girls love you.

3. 그대가 잠든 사이

This is it guys the title track, now let me first reviewing the song. I think the song is AHMAAZIINGG. I grew up with Mariah, Whitney, Bon Jovi, Air Supply, Celine, Queen, and the list still goes on. This is classic, the choir, the electric guitar at the bridge, the belting, the drum rolls at the intro, the semi band semi orchestra. Even the lyric is so beautifully made. Hearing this song rmakes me remember Making Love Out of Nothing at All or It's All Coming Back to Me arrggghhh the memory. I just have to say that JeA's voice and technique really taylor made for this kind of song.
As for the MV itself, it's a great effort in making something old into modern (more modern at least). Just see it, this like Lena Park In Dreams or old Mariah Carey MV, in fact it remembers me with one of Celine's MV but I forget the title. I just hope maybe the color palette will be more grayer(?) maybe, so it feels like some Tim Burton's movie.

4. 안아보자 (feat. 정엽)
Now the fourth track guys and strangely this track sounds like some Brown Eyed Soul's material. The differences in sound is not really clear so maybe I'm just dreaming, but really I think this one is really fit to enter one of Brown Eyed Soul's album. Once again it's a good thing, and the vocals is so smooth I'm gonna cry, auhhh they are really great singing a duet love you guys.

5. Silent Stalker (feat. Double K)
The final track. Usually the fnal track doesn't need to be catchy or likeable, but I has to leave an impact, an impression like "this is it". That's why singer always put something a bit different for the last track, and JeA did. I don't know what impact JeA wants us to capture, because it's so electronical (I don't know how to say it). I thought JeA will leave an impression like 'I am JeA the diva' or 'This is the real Brown Eyed Girls material' or 'I love you guys so much let me give you a present song' but instead she gives us alternative dance hip hop. And honestly the impression I capture is 'The old Brown Eyed Girls is gone and this thing will be the future us'. Oh it's not bad, the song is not bad, just very different from the others it's a bit confusing.

I really think the tracks really do the album title some justice. The track is Just JeA, a lot of ballad, classic feel with powerful vocals, R&B which JeA and the other BEG members used to do. It's funny right how we can see an individual persona with an album that they produce. Miryo's album contain this strong feminime vibe in spite of the strong vibe she always shows, so does G-Dragon whose solo album is have different feeling with Big Bang's material. Also Park Bom's solo is very very different with 2NE1's material. And this album is Just JeA, a diva whose find her way here through a girl group called Brown Eyed Girls, good job girl.
P.S. : btw there are no weak tracks, every single bit of them are worth to hear. Oh and also please watch JeA interviewed herself in this Loen's video it's so funny

Total Failure in Exam

Hi guys, I guess the post lately contains a lot of review, in fact I have BEG's JeA solo album review in my draft almost complete, but I'm strugling reviewing the lyrics, that's why it's not finish yet. Yeah, a lot of review and I saw a significant increase in the amount of visitors, but I haven't vent my emotions lately.

Yes everybody it's exam week and I know I'll fail it all. Infact, I already failed on two subjects, it's nutritional asessment and farmacology. My attendance list is less than 75% and I sucked like a small penis. I'm lucky I can fix my nutritional score in short semester, and for farmacology I have to study over again next year, bummer. I'm so sad, heartbroken, and devastated.

Part of it is my fault, because nutrition class is in the morning and I overslept a lot. As for farmacology it's because this subject which we divided into small groups and we have to discuss some case ourselves, yes my attendance in that subject is awesome (sarcasm). I try to put a happy face,  not think about it as usual. But when I write this I realize that the fact is I feel miserable, don't know what to do, and ............... so sad, pissed off, ... I don;t even know what I feel, it's just a mixture of so many things.

I guess I'll end this, it's so gloomy and I'm glad I have a blog where I can vent my real emotions without have to put on a happy mask, and nobody will judge how I feel. I hope everything just gets better.

[Fashion Police] 2012 SBS Drama Award

For the prologue, this is the last fashion police yeaaayyyy. And I have said it in the last post but I will say it again that I won't upload my playthrough for the game Dear Esther since the internet connection is sh*t. Oh and I know everybody is busy reviewing SNSD's Dancing Queen and I Got a Boy, but I'm currently listening to BEG's Jea solo album and Baek Ji Young's latest single, sorry I love them more than SNSD sorrrwwwwyyyy (ewh massive aegyo).

Okay now show us those beautiful dresses

Chae Shi Ra
The earrings really sparkling, the shape of the dress makes her sexy and classy, the color combination also really elegant. See, just like Kim Nam Joo and Go Hyun Jung the older you are, the more sophisticated you become.

Go Jun Hee
Uhm I just don't know and a bit speechless about this dress(?), I see it as a combination of baseball jersey and they sew the bottom longer so it looks like dress. The shoes are quirky and I ..... just...... ahem (out of word)

Han Ji Min
A maxi dress and since the color is black, it doesn't look to overboard and nice choice noona. The hairdo also makes her look younger, I mean she doesn't need to look any younger since she's so cute. Oh and I think the choker necklace don't really fit, trade it with longer necklace.

Lee Dong Wook and Jung Ryeo Won
Lee Dong Wook as handsome as ever, it's been a long time right seeing Lee Dong Wook oraenmane oppa. Okay now to Jung Ryeo Won. The dress is beautiful, nice color, nice shape, nice detail. The hairdo is amazing and she's beautiful, I just hope the earrings is bigger or blinger(?) because you can barely see it and it become unnecessary.





After a succesful attempt at the dress for MCing, she failed it at the award dress. Considering the length of the dress, seems like she ran out of fabric, also the shape and details just makes her look like a gramma. Hey maybe she just ran out of time.

Jung Yu Mi
I can't goddamn find her full body shot. She dressed really fabulously at 2011 awards that's why I'm pretty sure this dress (actually) really beautiful, and if we only see the top it looks pretty. Still, bummer.

Kim Ha Neul
AGAIN, I can't find her goddamn full body shot. I always love Kim Ha Neul and I know her style, she always dress nicely, safe, and use dark color. So yeah, I bet this year will be no different.

Kim Sung Ryung
The color is nice, the shape is simple but edgy. This is a very simple dress, but in it's simplicity there's a total edginess in there, very good choice.

Kwon Yu Ri
I do really think it's a beautiful dress, the ponytail and the earrings also works perfectly. I only regret the details in the bottom part because it makes the dress look torn apart.

Lee Jin
The color is too nude. boring hairstyle and simpel shape doesn't help. Is this comment too short?

Nancy Lang
WHO is this girl anyway??? Okay all I have to review is only her dress and not her behaviour. The dress itself is georgous and edgy but.... the doll. It is very clear that the doll attached by force. And what is that basket?

Park Se Young
Wow she did some routine in this award. Can I say she looks stunning. The color, the shape, the shoes. And she looks stunning. She do her justice in KBS Drama award also, so I have to say she's really a great red carpetter (What the hell is that mean anyway).

Park Shi Eun
The shape the color, it's simple but it's still interesting. Actually it's too safe, but I think this is the kind of dress I will wear. Simple color and shape, add a bit details and bling, done...

Shin Eun Kyung
She's a comedia right? She makes me laugh, good job girl, love you. And btw, it's amaazing how you still look pretty in such masculine outfit.

Sulli
With pixy hair and floral mini dress, she really looks like a tree fairy from the nutracker ballet show. And it's not a compliment.

Kim Soo Ro, Yoon Jin Yi, and Kim Min Jeong
Ohhh I love Kim Min Jeong since his role in Guardian Angel along with Song Hye Gyo, oh my goat it was like years ago, how time flies so fast. Okay Yoon Jin Yi. Beautiful safe dress, sorry too much looking at Kim Min Jeong.







WINNER
Park Se Young
What two dresses? This one is the original dress while the other one is for her dance performance. The color is very refreshing, the cut and shape really elegant and sexy. Hey 3 dresses from all the award show and she nailed it all. This girl deserves some recognition.
