BoA’s I Did It For Love look vs. HyunA’s Change look: Who rocked it? »

This year I will strive to be a better and more cautious driver. Have you ever noticed how many Kdramas involve traumatic car accidents in the form of flashbacks or people getting hit by cars and losing their memory?! Not to mention all of the Kdrama and Kpop stars who were involved in real life car accidents in 2009, affecting their filming schedules and causing concern among their fans.

I am lucky and grateful that I have not lost a family member in a traumatic car accident and have not been haunted from the memory so much that it’s left me emotionally scarred and unavailable (Boys Before Flowers, Shining Inheritance, My Lovely Kim Sam Soon). I will use my memory of these dramas to be a responsible driver and pedestrian. I will look both ways when crossing the street and try not to anger my evil stepsister who may be out to get me (Stairway to Heaven).

I will also work on my memory and being more aware of my speed. In light of my most recent speeding ticket (which I got on New Year’s Eve), feigning ignorance and memory loss won’t cut it with California Highway Patrol.

i like the name coffe prince


im so glad he got rid of that curly hair


^ No problem. =)


thanks for the recommendations conkwe!


I could help you out Lillian with Filipino music. I will warn you now, it’s pretty cheesy in the ballad section and might be hard to get into since they rely more on voice and lyrics than entertainment (catchy songs/melody, dancing, and all that mainstream stuff to suck you in). But their alternative rock bands are good. Also, a lot of them are fluent in english so they have english songs you could listen to. Here’s a few artists/bands (mainly mainstream to get you into them):

Lea Salonga: You most likely know her by her singing voice for Jasmine and Mulan in the Disney movies
Sarah Geronimo: Pop star with the vocal chords. She got signed after winning a singing competition (similar to American Idol).
Regine Velasquez
Rachelle Ann Go
Nina Girado
Rico Blanco: He’s also in the band Rivermaya.
Hale
Callalily
Cueshe
6 Cycle Mind

Again, this is a really small list. There’s tons more Filipino music out there to be discovered. Hope this helps.


New Year’s Resolution proposal: No Autotune in 2010- I agree!

My New Year’s Music Resolution-From China, Khalil Fong is a good artist to start with.

Kdrama Resolution #3: Eat more/watch more Pasta!- I have not been up on my kDramas like I should.

Ningin’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2010- I don’t make them because I never get it done.

Kdrama Resolution No. 2: Drive cautiously, try not to lose memory-Again, I need to catch up on my Korean Dramas.

Top 5 New Year’s Resolutions G-Dragon should consider-I definitely agree with everything in this article.

Kdrama Resolution No. 1: To get a grip of reality- I guess this is the plus side to being swamped with homework. XD


Definitely agree. Less autotune. It sounds too generic.


yes pretty please have a limit in the autotune department for 2010 lol. and thanks for the plugin link :D i needed to find me some new ones


Chinese/Taiwanese: Fahrenheit (popular boy band), Jolin Tsai, SHE, (although...these that I mentioned are very mainstream and not that great).

Japanese: Ikimonogakari, Angela Aki (looks like a Japanese Tina Fey), Aqua Timez, Abingdon Boys School, GReeeeN, Miho Fukuhara, Yoshida Brothers

Colombian: Juanes

Spanish: David Bisbal

Korean: The Trax, Nemesis. those are the only 2 Krock bands I know of. I recommend both of them too :D

I, too, want to start listening to different music, mainly Thai and Vietnamese. I think its easiest when listening to a different country’s music to start with the most mainstream stuff and work your way into the more indie/underground/very talented people kind of songs. thats what I did when I began listening to Japanese and Korean music.


yup i’m also looking for music in other languages, as for rock, i’m eagerly awaiting C.N.Blue (Burning teaser) as i think they might be what i was wishing FTIsland would be.

here’s a few artists you might or might not know:

chinese:
F.I.R. (rock/pop)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqNZYLZAD88

korean:
Happy Face (rap/rock)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc776LKaSos

Japanese:
OneOkRock (rock)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shBEnmvIppo

Emyli(very underrated imo, oh and she has spanish version of a song)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9cE5fOXwqk

Thai:
Waii (pop)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV8TWOyiqKE

Spanish:
Allison (rock)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiW6I-zwDOc

I’ll edit with more i think of


I feel the same way as you, I’m also trying to find new music to listen to, in different languages and different genres. I wish you good luck in your quest ;3

You’re absolutely right about Korean rockbands, I wish I could find one, it must be really interesting and fun to listen to ~ (as long as it’s not close to metal, since I’m not fond of that genre… but hey, that’s my opinion =3)


Pasta is makin me hungry. I might watch it~


Hmm Pasta, is it any good? I like pasta, but is Pasta the drama good? XD


Good luck Jinra. Third time lucky? Or is it the fourth?…

Lol phew.. I was a bit worried on what the new prerequisites were to become a boyfriend to someone this year in 2010...Thanks for the new prereqs.

I mean surely I could fly a girl around MY OWN Island (reference Boys Over Flowers) While letting her use a $25,000 dress just for one date.. You know and then take her on evening dinner that night at a 5 star restaurant, and all while having a fireworks show that creates a HUGE heart with a plane that says “Saranghae” just at the right moment while we kiss under a blue moon.

And that’s why I want to date a rich guy. Haha kidding kidding.


after watching My Lovely Sam Soon, I was convinced that I should own a restaurant and date the pastry chef raspberry


ContagiousLaughter - 01/08/10 11:20 pm

Don’t worry, K-drama always get me thinking of that perfect guy too XD
Why can’t guys be like that? lol XD

Because they’re not programmed the same, haha
