Fantastic song, probs not.
But catchy.
Like Caramelldansen, The Hamster Dance and that song they play on Meatspin^.
And Hyeri is so freaking pretty (2:48-2:50)
Though still, you know, guess you can’t blame them. This is coming up Friday night. Daykids, that link is your typical classy college event. Watch from 5:41.
^ I would just like to clarify I’ve never actually watched meatspin, just heard the song on a friend’s computer. Honest.
Had a pretty chill Friday night in the library, with Youtube recommendations pulling out some good old Five and NSync songs. Good times.
It was lovely to be back in Sydney – I’ll be back again this upcoming Saturday, you just can’t get rid of me 
Hopefully I’ll get to see some more of you!
Can’t remember why exactly, but after I got home on Friday, I kinda just yawned and said ‘life is good’. And my roommate pretty much went ‘omg, it’s so good to finally hear you say that!’
The fact she looked so relieved was kinda worrying! I hadn’t realised quite how miserable I must have been over the last two weeks.
I guess it’s been a bit of a transition..
lol jks, I’m never that melodramatically (is that even a word?) sad. I never want to be that dependent on somebody else. The angst in that video blows my mind, it just keeps getting worse. And their angsty hip rolling makes me lol. And their guyliner is INCREDIBLE. I mean, there’s waterproof eyeliner and then there’s… whatever they’re wearing.
Nice song though, I guess. One of the few ones by MBLAQ I actually like.
But if I had to pick a song closer to what I feel like about the whole thing… it’d probably be this.
Interesting to see such a big group use just an animated clip. But I can’t help it, animated clips make me think of the Gorrilaz Feel Good Inc song. Though I liked those graphics more.
And by the end, it kinda looks like Bleach – I swear that’s a hollow! DOES NOONE ELSE SEE THE HOLLOW.
Watch it. The orangey haired androgynous thing is a guy, btw.
The verses are pretty close to how I feel, I guess. The chorus, not so much. I don’t hate him. I find it hard to hate. Don’t get me wrong, I’m upset. My roomate’s been telling me I shouldn’t be upset, that ‘I can do so much better’, ‘he’s not worth it’, ‘he’s the one who missed out’.
But I don’t know, I can’t think like that. I’ve never thought that I’m ‘better’ than anyone. Maybe it’s how I was brought up – for as long as I can remember, I’ve been taught to be humble, to not have too much pride.
Pride. Maybe that’s why I’m so annoyed at the whole thing. I’m glad I ended it.
I honestly wish we never met.
But you know, if it wasn’t for him…
- people with me that Tuesday (and later that week) would have lost a source of much amusement
- I wouldn’t have needed to call krish and promptly make her week
- I wouldn’t have walked in through another door that Friday, and my roommate wouldn’t have met her boyfriend xD
So you know.. I guess the entire affair ended up giving the people I care about something extra to smile at. So I’ll get over it, and treat it like something I had to learn.
Speaking of boyfriends though – all my friends at college have started dating people! It’s amazing, I’m so happy for them. Honestly.
I’d have thought I’d be envious. I’m not used to being ‘the single one’ in a group of friends, for lack of a better way of phrasing it. But I’m not jealous, I honestly can’t wipe the smile off my face when I find out. In fact, my friends get creeped out because I seem happier than they are xDD
Though I’ll admit, part of me does wonder, ‘is there something wrong with me? What have I been doing wrong?’
I can’t help that. It’s true that I see blissfully happy couples at uni, and think that it looks nice. Part of me wonders if I’m just put in the ‘friend’ zone straightaway, you know, the one where it’s hard to ever view that person in anything-more-than-friends way.
But I’m against the idea of dating for the sake of dating, with no real interest. I really don’t want to rush into that sort of long-term commitment thing. I’ll just keep living in my Disney movie modelled world, where there’s a ‘right’ time and person and place for it all someday.
Haven't watched 'Tangled' yet? Strongly recommended, I'd go so far as to say it belongs with the Disney classics. Except for the Paramore song they included in the soundtrack.
Moving on! About the MPhil – chances are, it might be for the best if it doesn’t work out. Don’t get me wrong, I love my lab, but with a timetable of 30hrs/week next year, I don’t know if I’d have the time to put in the serious work my supervisor wants.
*sigh* of course I’m just saying this to try and make myself feel better.. but who knows. I know I get stressed if I overcommit, even if I love my work. Maybe I’ll get to have a work-life balance. Maybe I’ll finally start going to the gym?
Haha not for biceps though (lol). But I do think I probably could afford to lose some weight. And yes, this is because I look at celebrities and wish I looked like them. In fact, this is probably the first time in my life I’ve watched a video and thought ‘damn, I wish I looked like that’.
This video, in fact.
I can hear the alarm bells going off in your head from here. Let me make it clear, I am not going to diet like this. I’m not going to make myself throw up before I sleep if I’m not hungry, that’s just messed up. That page is actually the most disturbing thing I’ve ever read on the internet.
But I do know I can afford to lose some weight. I know BMI-wise, I’m definitely not overweight. But I do think I can drop a few kilos. I vaguely remember KARA lost five kilos for their promotions… but I know that I definitely shouldn’t, because that would put me into the 30s, which would just be wrong. And my ribs start poking out by that stage, which is ever so mildly disgusting.
Unfortunately, it seems hard to say ‘I wish I was thinner’ unless you’re clearly overweight these days. Am I not allowed to say that without being told I have an eating disorder?
But honestly, the only eating disorder I have is a desire to eat yummy food constantly. Seriously, life’s too short to not enjoy the food you love.
..which is why my whole ‘I wish I was thinner’ plan is doomed to fail.
And for the record, this is not some strange desire to look attractive for the benefit of attracting the opposite sex. While I am a little chubbier than I probably could be, I don’t think I’m unattractive for my weight. I was talking to one of my really good male friends at college, and I do actually believe him when he tells me that in the most purely platonic way possible, my body’s fine from a guy’s point of view.
Really, I’m just doing it to feel better about myself. As anorexic as it sounds, I like being able to look in the mirror and be happy about how I look.
Broad generalisation of the week – guys and girls have such different views of what is attractive. I don’t mean it in a ‘guys are only into looks and girls go for personality too’ way- I mean just a purely superficial, physical appearance thing xD
Yes, I am confident enough in my sexuality to say this – these are the sorts of girls I find attractive (I do love how I can say this without people suspecting I’m a closet lesbian, but if I was a guy, I’d probably not feel comfortable writing about attractive guys on a blog..)
1. Suzy from missA (0:53 in this link, the girl with the long hair tied up). I think she’s incredibly pretty.
2. Jiyeon from T-ara. I reckon she has charisma that makes you want to look at her twice, that makes her stand out from the rest of the girls. This isn’t one of the best videos to demonstrate it, but she still looks amazing and it’s easy for you to pick her out – she’s the one dressed all in black.
3. Hyewon from 5dolls. The redhead in this clip. Unfortunately, I feel pedo for saying she’s attractive, considering she’s 16 =_=”
So yeah, I think if I was a guy, those are the types of girls I’d find attractive. But what do guys seem to find attractive? Maybe it’s just who I hang out with, but a common theme seems to be SNSD.
I dunno, I just can’t find them attractive. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t fidn them ugly.. I just don’t find them particularly good looking. Apart from Yoona, no matter how long I watch their clips, I don’t see any of them as exceptionally beautiful =\ The only clip where I find them even remotely attractive (what’s the name of the girl in the video thumbnail?) is Oh!, but even then their cutesy-ness makes me want to hurl.
I’ve watched Mr Taxi and Hoot!, but I think the songs are pretty average. And I just can’t find them attractive, which is strange. I mean, in the most heterosexual way possible, I think I can tell if a girl is good looking. But SNSD just doesn’t seem to do it for me =\
Please enlighten me? Why are they attractive? Is it the cutesy thing? The short shorts?
So I don’t know. I know I’ve made some giant generalisations here, but I guess guys and girls are just into different things. It goes the other way too – I know a fair few girls, myself included, who get freaked out by giant muscles and whatnot, but I’ve had a couple of guy friends and college try to convince me that that’s what girls are into – that we look at guys with big muscles and think that we’ll be ‘protected and safe if they hold us’. =\
I'm sorry, it's the first celebrity with abs that I could think of. Please forgive me 
Anyway. I think this blog is getting a bit too long so I’ll end it here.
Peace out.
I have a confession.
The post I just published… I wrote that a week ago, while I was studying for my midsem, to try and psych myself up. It was what I wanted to be able to write.
I’m an overthinker. I like to plan out situations in a way that accounts for every possibility, i.e.
- if they say this, I will say this
- if this happens, I will say this and bring it back on track
- if they say that, I’ll do this
Did yesterday/this morning go to plan?
Maybe. Maybe not. Not really. No. Eventually.
In that order.
There’s a lot running through my head right now.. but I guess I can’t really write it down on paper. Maybe I should invest in a journal.
But I guess in the end, I just need to take a long hard look at myself for a while.
I still love this song. Lyrically, specifically the verses.
(I think the clip’s kinda random)
Although it’s not their target market, the band apparently got a tonne of male fans because guys could relate to the song.
On repeat. Psychoanalyse as you please.
