Wallet DOWN THE DRAIN

Hi! It's been a while. This past two weeks we had enrollment and stuff, and my class has just officially started. *applause,.....NO*

Last tuesday, August 19, 2014 would be one of my unforgettable moment. My wallet 
just got shoot in a canal, ask me how it happened. I don't know. I just knew when two of my friends noticed something fell and I realized it was actually my wallet. It was that girl's fault actually(I don't know her). Argghh. Anyways, I rattled because that wallet have all my important stuffs. ID, ATM, and MONEY. Thank God some kind-hearted man helped me, no he actually did it. Anyway, I got my wallet back. Bye~

The "FIRST EXPERIENCES" I did this summer

Have a pet dog

I don't know if I can say that this is a first because I can remember having a pet dog more than 10 years ago. It actually took me 3 days at the house to know that we had a dog at the back of our house.  If it wasn't for my mother, I wouldn't know. She freaked out when she saw a dog tied with a collar near our laundry area. You know what our dog's name is? Its "BITCH", yes I'm not kidding and one thing,  one of my grandmother named it after knowing it was given by my younger brother's girlfriend. Haha, now the dog has to live with that name.

Have a Korean stay at my house

Never in my life I imagined for a Korean to stay at my house. I met Seongha (yes, that's her name) at the university. She was an exchange student, and we became close naturally because of my vast knowledge about Korea and its culture. Well, she stayed for 4 days I think? I'm not kind of sure. She slept together with me and my sister in my bed, good thing the bed was big enough. Too bad, she wasn't able to stay for so long because she attended summer class for art back at UP Cebu.

Eat a balut(fertilized duck egg~ eeew)

Yes, blame Seongha cause we were casually walking down the street when she asked me if I want to eat balut. I said yes, I have eaten balut 9 years ago and I can still remember the taste of its juice and it was yummy. What's just bad is that I can't eat the fertilized duck anymore. Seongha even took a video of the both of us eating eat, I can imagine my face cringing the whole time I ate the duck. Whhheeekk~

Work at a food stall

Well, at first I was just asked by my aunt to make a poster for their food stall.  They sell many different kinds of snacks. From sandwiches to french fries, to drinks, I made all of them. On the first day of business my aunt said that their worker does not have the confidence so instead I replaced and help for a mere 3 days on their stall. I burned my skin about 5 times already, and I still have one scar left that I don't know how to remove. It was a fun experience, the feeling of being busy and having to do well because customers are waiting. ^^

Watch a movie with my aunt and cousin

As a prize, my aunt treat me to the movies with my cousin. We watched "The Fault in our Stars", it was the second time my cousin watched this. She just went with us because, yea~ they're rich man! Just kidding! She just really love the movie that she cried harder than everyone else in the cinema even though its her second time watching. I can't say that the movie was lame or something because I didn't cry. I didn't cry because I think I have no more tears to cry anymore, I've been busy reading wattpad stories that week. Still, my heart feels really tight at the last 20 minutes of the film. Who wouldn't?

Paying water and electricity bills

I never expected that forgetting about our bills will bring me so much stress. If you cannot pay on or before the due, you have to pay at the service centers. Yes, I was pretty confident at first, but when I arrived at the place, gaaaahhd. I was the 400th person in line, good thing they use the queue number system, don't  ask me what it is. The word  "queue" gives me trauma. I spent whole 5 hours waiting for my turn at both seervice centers. Lesson learned: "Pay your bills on time". Yea, I just payed our electricity bill this monday.

Talking to kpop fans on omegle

I met 4 approachable people on omegle. I actually tagged Kpop as my interest and got to talk to some interesting people. It was fun! Haha, nothing more to say.

I think I still have more than 10 firsts I did this summer, but I'm lazy. Bleehh, blame Philippine's weather.

BTS - SKOOL LUV AFFAIR Album Review

BTS~SKOOL LUV AFFAIR

01 SKOOL LUV AFFAIR

Suga's sudden rap in this caught me offguard. And the sudden stop by JHope caught me more offguard. Anyways, he sounds like he's having so much fun. I was expexting an official song like a song man. I liked the pauses in between where they talk for like a second. Then there goes Rapmon dropping intense rap all of a sudden. I love it! I just can't pinpoint what song he used for his rap though. The whole song gave a really rookie feeling, I just find these boys really cute.

02 상남자(BOY IN LUV)

I think because this is the title track that's why I like this song so much. We even learned the dance for this song. I'm feeling hiphoppish - if that's even a word - every time I listen to this kind of songs. I really wish they were able to show more of their vocals because this is the title song. And that's when the bridge started, what I was exactly looking for. The adlibs were also perfect!

03 SKIT: SOULMATE

This is just my opinion, but they're wasting time on a quality album to put this in the tracklist. I'm not saying I hate it, it’s actually fun, but fans purchase the album for the songs. Anyway, this is really fun. I love how they showed their closeness.

04 어디에서 왔는지(WHERE DID YOU COME FROM)

This song is really bubbly all over. The ooh-ooh-ooh-oh part is so catchy that I kept singing it the whole time, not bothering if it’s still sang in the song. You don't know how much I had fun listening to this song. Especially when the chorus comes.

05 하루만(ONE DAY ONLY)

My favorite track in the album. The rap and singing complemented each other so much that I wonder who arranged this song. Nevermind the complementing I was talking about. But Taehyung's part in here. Gaaad. I love how they gave this part to him. Atlast I can hear his deep round voice clearly. And Namjoon, you're quietly climbing my bias list because of this. I don't really need to mention this because it is expected for our Golden Maknae to sing well. I easily memorized the chorus after 3 times listening to it.

 

06  TOMORROW

I found the SO MUCH autotune at times bothering to my ears. I really love this song's chorus, it was intensely beautiful. The drum beats in here is dope too. What elese can I say? But really, its bothering my ears too much, the autotune. Arghh. What to do?

07 BTS CYPHER PT. 2: TRIPTYCH

This! Feeling really swag like I can grasp the world with my hands. First time I listened to this I was grinning the whole time and gritting my teeth at the same time. This is just messy clean! I hope you get what I just typed. Then again, Namjoon~ you killin' it man.

08 등골브레이커(SPINE BREAKER)

This sounds a Jinusean song, or just like any YG songs back in late 90's. This can also be a BAP song. The genre I love the most. Hardcore but soft hiphop. I'm typing nonsense again, aren't I? I got goosebumps listening to this song, I really was imagining that this song was from back then. This song has a touch of old school. THe lalalalala~ part brings this ceratin feel.

09 JUMP

One of my favorites. The vocals need more parts in this whole album. I know that their target genre is Hiphop, but they can do it without setting the singers aside. I can't wait for future releases of this group. Let's jump! This is just so catchy that I just don't care anymore.

10 PROPOSE

I was just talking about the vocals the previous track and here they are saying "GABBIE HERE WE ARE, SORRY FOR THE WAIT". It's a good decision to add this to the tracklist. 2 minutes is not enough to quench my thirst though. Blame all the swag I was feeling earlier.

UKISS - MONO SCANDAL Album Review

UKISS~MONO SCANDAL

I sometimes really wonder, "WHY IS UKISS SO UNDERRATED?" They have popularity equal to the NUGU's in Korea right now. They release quality music, yet...

01 끼부리지마(QUIT PLAYING)

The guitar just made my expectations really big, but when Kevin entered, YES JUST WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. Their title songs just keep getting better and better. I like Soohyun's voice in this too, that really smooth and soft voice. I'm no genius in judging people's voices, but I was once a chorale member, so~ I nearly forgot that its a new member performing UKISS because it seems as though the space was fully taken and there was nothing lacking with the temporary replacement of AJ. The rap were still flawless, and of course who doesn't love Eli's rap parts? Kevin though, argghh, why do you keep seducing me with that voice. Honestly, I still can't find Kiseop's voice on some of UKISS' songs. I think its because he still hasn't found his trademark voice. And Hoon, you always never fail to amaze me.

02 하나(ONE)

Woah, that was a sudden entrance. That was also a sudden start of the chorus. Anyways, following the first track, this song is so fresh too. Atlast, I found Kiseop's voice. The chorus is really beautiful. I keep singing 하나~ And the rap was perfectly executed, UKISS is really lucky to have English fluent rappers. Thissong is perfect to listen to on rainy days lying on your bed, and you're like, there's nothing else to do other than rocking this song out. The occasional oh-oh is really pretty too. That bridge too, show them your talent man. And when I think that the song lacks Soohyun's shouting(not in a bad way), there he goes! reaching for his high notes.

03 다시 내게로 와줘(COME BACK TO ME)

Ohh, it's a ballad song. It's really weird to hear Kevin singing those particularly low notes. I think after that Kevin part I just spaced out and then Soohyun and Hoon sings near the end. How can you guys do this to me?  You were all still so young years ago when I hardly stanned. Then you go, BOOM! We're man now and sing like that. I'm just like, ohhhhhh~ They seriously need more recognition in Korea.

04 너 없이는 안돼(CAN’T WITHOUT YOU)

The repetitive notes - I don't know what instruments they are- are just really addictive when the chorus comes. This song also have their trademark smooth singing. Not a full falsetto, but the feeling's there. I love how they sang the du-du-du-du. There's not much impact in this song's rap though. Anyways, I'm feeling all innocent right now listening to this song. They need more of this kind of songs in the future. All songs in this album can pass as their title song. Oh, how I miss stanning these guys.

Beast - GOOD LUCK Album Review

BEAST~GOOD LUCK

01 WE UP

Well, this song just started too suddenly, but when Doojoon started singing it had that feeling of familiarity. I don't why, but I seem to just know waht tunes to come up next. Blame my musical ability, jk. The song was just really familiar to my ears. It might have even a Seungri solo song. I like Doojoon's voice in here the best, he got the best part in this song. Dongwoon too, his voice got the spotlight for span of time. Now I remember why, I keep hearing "WE UP" as "V.I.". THe rap was not that outstanding for me. Junhyung still has more chances, for this is just the first track.

02 GOOD LUCK

Yes, no one can still live up when Yoseob's the one singing. When he sings it feels like I really need to zip my mouth and just listen to his awesomeness. I'm not kidding. I love how their chorus leaves that impact with the line "Good Luck", and Junhyung's rap is on point flawlessly done. Yet again, Doojoon always does his part the best. I don't know if its because he was given the best part or he just does good in every part he gets. I have to be honest, but I sometimes confuse Hyunseung and Yoseob's voice, and I just can't point out Kikwang's voice anymore. He kind of changes his singing style.

03 DANCE WITH U

I seriously love this song, this can actually pass to be another title song if I was to be asked. Yes, good luck was epic, but this song is just damn catchy. The beats are also dope, ahh.  I can feel all of their overflowing confidence. And atlast I can recognize Kikwang's voice, I'm sorry I  keep saying this but Doojoon~~~ ahh. Please just stop singing already, you've exploded a lot of ovaries already (sorry, but true~). I wanna dance with you, dasi hanbeondo~ When these guys debuted, I expected Dongwoon to be not that talented basing on his looks, but man~ he's one golden maknae.

04 이젠 아니야(NO MORE)

This song is so flawless that I want them to perform this on every music shows available out there. What I love about beast is their ballad songs. I already listened to almost all of their songs because of a Korean friend of mine. To be honest, Beast has the best voice overall in this industry. The "ijen aniya~" part is awesome because I keep making adlibs here and there everytime I hear that part. I love Kikwang and Yoseob's part in here, the one before the chorus.

05 HISTORY

This, I just said that I love them doing ballad songs, and boom! No, you can't keep doing that. Dongwoon though, why are you guys like that? I like this song so much to the point that I can keep on listening to this for a whole hour without doing anything else. The oh-oh-oh-oh part is the best, it's smooth and soothing to hear. The rap is also really soft in its own way, and Doojoon please stop it too. I know, you're silently climbing up that bias list of mine. I don't have an actual bias in Beast because they all just improve everytime I see them. The two Dong's(Dongjoon and Dongwoon) are my bias in this album release.

06 이 밤 너의 곁으로(TONIGHT, I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE)

This song is something I might hear on  a Korean Drama. This just suits all that feeling when you watch dramas. I think I don't need to comment on their voices anymore. The guitar, drum, and piano literally completes this song making it invincible. The lovely feeling oozes out of this song. I can imagine the drama The Heirs when I listen to this song. ho-ho-ho~

07 SAD MOVIE

I seriously don't know waht other version this song has(forgive me b2uties). I'm still confident that whatever version this will have, its a really nice song. This didn't stood out to me the first, second, third time I listened to it. I might listen to this song in the near future, but I'm pretty sure that I will just forget the tune after I listen to it. It just didn't have that impact compared to all the other tracks in this album. Sorry, not sorry~
