Asian parents, etc.
Thursday, August 2, 2001 @ 06:23 p.m.

Remember how Jeanne got me the Fly to the Sky 2 CD from Taiwan? Well, she also got Tina two H.O.T. posters [one of Kang Ta and one of Tony] along with some other stuff. Well, Tina brought the Kang Ta poster, and her parents got all pissed that she had a poster of some Korean guy. They got all mad about it, and they were basically like, We expect you to marry some Chinese guy when you grow up, so what's up with this Korean stuff?

I kind of expected her parents to react that way actually... Her parents are a bit stiff, heh. And even though my parents have gradually become less conservative over the years, I'm sure they'd freak if I married a Hispanic or African-American person. I'm sure they'd freak if I married a Korean or Viet just as much. Even though they've never said I can't watch anime, look at manga, or listen to Korean music, I'm sure they'd prefer if I didn't. They don't mind, but I just get the feeling that they don't completely accept it. Just like my parents don't understand why I do web design or why I like it. But I figure, as long as they don't completely ban it, I can deal with it.

Heh... Reminds me of last summer when I took health at RM, and we were supposed to write something about what we would be like in 10 years, 20 years, 40 years... I said that in 20 years I would have to raise children to retain their Chinese heritage in America or I would have to raise children that would have to accept their biracial heritage. My teacher commented that I shouldn't be so pessimistic about it. But it really is hard to keep that culture in the new generations. Depending on your friends, your environment, you can either learn more about your culture as you grow up, or you lose more about it.

When I was younger, I was fluent in Mandarin, and I used to only watch the Chinese cartoons of old story tales [Alice in Wonderland, etc.]. When I started school [Pre-K in Texas], I was in the ESOL class with all my friends who also spoke Chinese. Then we moved to Indiana [where there really are no asians], where I was in some special language development class. Honestly I knew English back then, I just didn't talk. [Hard to believe, eh?] I never talked, and they just assumed that I didn't know English.

By second grade, I was in this weird accelerated program [I guess you could call it some sort of Magnet elementary school] with 12 other kids from the county. I suppose I really started losing the culture then. In first grade, my two best friends were white. I have some pretty bad memories of them. I used to get ditched because I was different. I remember none of the guys ever liked me because of that. [Hahaha.] I suppose the difference was that I was Chinese. But then I changed schools because of the program.

In second grade, I was different not only because I was Chinese, but because I didn't have long hair and it definitely wasn't blonde. Out of the 13 kids in my class, only 5 of us were girls. Three of them had long blonde hair all the way down their back, and I was just some little Chink kid with short dark hair [who happened to be really good in math. Yea, I was known as the third grader in the seventh grade math class. Asian parents.]. I could never have had long blonde hair even if I wanted it, but I didn't like being different. [But I did start talking in second and third grade. My parents requested that the teacher send a slip home everyday. If I talked once while I shouldn't, she'd let it slip, but if I did it twice, I'd get a warning. My parents decided to do this after the one problem on my report card was that I talked too much. I never came home without a slip with a warning on it. There was the one time I got a referral at school too, during second grade. Heh, that's for another time.] I suppose that's why on my second grade report card [I really hated my second grade teacher] it said that I was more of a follower. But that doesn't mean I didn't ever beat up the guys in my class! [Griff says that he can see a little Jenny beating up the guys on the playground way back in second grade... Blah.]

For two years it was like that, and then my family moved up to Michigan, where the population of asians is even lower than Indiana, heh. I met the most diabolical girl in my life, April. There's enough to tell about her for another entry. But Michigan wasn't too bad...

It was really after I visited China for the first time in twelve years between eighth grade and freshman year that I started catching up to Chinese culture again. And then of course, I went to Blair, and the Magnet has more asians than I'm used to ever having in school. Imagine if my dad had bought that house he originally wanted to in North Potomac. I would've gone to Churchill or Wootton, haha. [I like their cheer though: W, double O, double T, O, N!] I probably would've freaked out at the asian population there.

I'm sure my parents would want me to marry a Chinese guy, but considering the ones I've met so far in just high school... *thinks* Nah. None of those. I don't have too many qualifications myself. He just has to be taller than me [not hard, even for asian people who are never tall. I'm only 5'5".], a Christian [yeah, I'm into religion like that], hardworking, reliable, responsible... Haha, I love hot guys, but I doubt I'd want to marry someone I can't rely on. He doesn't have to be good looking, but someone I can look at and be somewhat interested. Someone who talks. [See, the problem is that most asian guys are mumbling bums who don't talk very much. Sure, there's some that talk, but it's rare that they would fit under all the other qualifications also.] He also has to love music and be able to carry a tune. Can't think of much else. *dreams away at work*

Oh no, I've listened to Nuh Wa Na [You and I] and Iyah! [the first three minutes!] about three times in the row... I'm going to get Nuh Wa Na stuck in my head again... The last last seminar [the one with the Humvee], Lisa and I were singing it in the lobby. Or Lisa was singing it, and I was just... Making sounds that kind of sounded like the song. I just kept doing the chorus, the ham ggeh ham blah blah blah stuff. So Lisa would sing the songs, and I'd just mumble along! Perfect system. We did The Promise of H.O.T. [Algo eeh suh... Uhn jena something yak-sok --- AHHH!!! Scary! I paused the song, and then I turned it on again, and it was a big static sound! AHHH!!! I thought my CD was busted for two seconds there. Really scary --- Sarang ee suh, te nikka... Something like that. Hey, I don't know Korean!] We looked stupid, but it's not the first time the two of us have looked stupid, I'm sure.

You know, I never thought Min Woo could really sing... Heh heh. But he can! I mean, his voice doesn't sound that great in T.O.P. [It's okay], and then I realized he sang that part in Hey, Come On! Well... Whatever.

Oh... I can't marry a really stubborn guy either. Since I'm such a stubborn person myself, he can't be that stubborn. Let's see here. When we were discussing what music to do for Magnet Arts Night, Winston and Alex both complained that we shouldn't do something Korean. [Funny, since Alex's favorite songs in freshman year were How Deep is Your Love by Jinusean, Yo! by Shinhwa, Reflection, and Got Rice... And Winston's was Turbo's Cyber Lover.] So when Lisa and I called Daniel to ask him if he wanted to do it, I made sure that he wasn't picky about the music. He wasn't. Thank goodness he's easygoing. But who else could stand getting macked on all the time? Heh... I should stray from talking about him.

I wanna make a Kenshin layout sometime... I think I should make some wallpaper instead of layouts... Hmm. Blah, I like Drunken Tiger even if they're a pair of perverts. Honestly, I don't know much about S.E.S., so I'm expecting Jo's site to give me some real insight. ^^

I'm going to go home and research Jae Won! After finding yet another Kang Ta shrine, I am determined to give the world all the information they ever wanted about Lee Jae Won! Hehe.

Blah, I don't wanna call Daniel again, so I'm going to make Tina do it. Dear dear Tina, you'll call Daniel for me because I'm a little too embarrassed to, right?

I hate my internet connection.
Wednesday, August 1, 2001 @ 07:41 p.m.

Blah, I need to delete some of these mp3s off my poor overloaded comp... Okay, so I'm not even using half of the frigging hard drive space, but I'm still worried... *freak*

Yes! I finally finished dling the Fly to the Sky construction video... Ooh. Can't wait to watch it. Gotta practice piano first though...

FREESTYLING!!!
Wednesday, August 1, 2001 @ 07:18 p.m.

Ahhh!!! I finally got it up!!! Lisa, I don't care if you think it looks weird. And you can barely tell it's Woo Hyuk! Go visit! Go visit Freestyling , that is. XDDD

Nooo!!!
Wednesday, August 1, 2001 @ 05:34 p.m.

My last entry disappeared because my internet connection died. Boo boo.

Anyways, I was ranting about how I didn't rant about kpop music at all in the last entry! Haha. But then again, I didn't even write as much as I usually do... Too immersed in my Kenshin manga translations!

Mwah, Brytani you're a sweetie! You like my layout?! That Perfect Blue layout is simply gorgeous. I love nice dark layouts... They're very mysterious... ^^

And I finally finished everything for Freestyling! Yahoo! Hopefully I'll get it up before Tina leaves for HK/Taiwan/China Sunday...

I know I rant too much about kpop music... Probably because there just aren't enough hot chink guys. *tear*

Yul mat chuh! Uh! Uh! Uh!
Wednesday, August 1, 2001 @ 05:16 p.m.

Erk... Another Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon allusion...

Saitou: The claws and fangs of the dragon soaring in the sky cannot reach the tiger that is crouching on the ground.

Bwah, I choked when I read that line from Rurouni Kenshin translations, Shounen Jump part 205. You know, as much as I love Kenshin [the series], I really can't stand how moony Kaoru gets. Maybe that's why I never liked watching the last couple of episodes from the anime series...

Bwah, I love Saitou/Saitoh, too! [I think I like how Saitoh looks better than Saitou... T_T] Haha, if I made him a site, I'd call it... CHAIN SMOKER! Haha. Right. With everything else I want to do... Erk.

So anyways... I was just at some seminar, and I fell asleep like anything. Actually it's time for me to scribble a little in the group blog thing.

Anyways, I'm back from that. I've only listened to one CD all day! Probably because I've been reading manga translations and I don't listen to music while I read. That nap during the seminar reminded me of back in Biology class when I napped between taking notes. [Maybe that's why Biology was not my most successful class...]

I WANT CANDY!
Tuesday, July 31, 2001 @ 05:36 p.m.

I was reading Kenshin translations the other day, and I was reminded of how much I loved the series before... Well, I still love the series, and I still do have all of Jeanne's fansubbed episodes [I'll burn them and give them back to you before school starts... Hopefully], but I have been ignoring it for awhile... I think Kenshin might have been the first series I really got into [even Rayearth came after], and Sano was probably the first bishounen I really liked, heh. I used to listen to opening/ending themes to the series all the time... Back when Heart of Sword and 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou were my two favorite songs... [Yup, and that's how I got into Siam Shade!] *remininsces* [Is that how you spell it? Whatever.] It's the probably the one series that I know the most about, too. But it's too popular for me to make a site about it [there's plenty already, and there are some good ones] and far too long. Haha, last summer I sat down and read all 26 or 28 volumes of manga translations... T_T

Enough about asian music and asian culture for now. I want to rant about how the state of American music has just gone down in the past few months. This morning I was watching MTV [at five in the morning], and I saw the remix video of Mariah Carey's new song Loverboy. Well, it was basically just her wearing booty shorts and a bikini the entire time, giggling and shaking her butt. I might not have been so bothered if she was younger, not almost thirty years old. Not that I think she's too old to be sexy, but that she shouldn't try so hard to act like younger teenage singers. I had far more respect for her during her first few albums. Since then her voice has declined, her songs have gotten pointless, and her clothes are simply scanty.

I really have nothing against Destiny's Child, but frankly, I just don't like them. The only song I really liked was Jumping Jumping. Sort of. I remember them back from No No No, but after Say My Name came out, their songs only got overplayed all the time. Bootalicious is funny though.

Jo, I know what you mean by all the weird sound effects added to S.E.S. songs... Not sure about the ones on 4.5, but my friend Lisa had the hardest time trying to tell the difference between the beginnings of Twilight Zone, Fly to the Sky [the song], and Time Will Tell by H.O.T. She kept mixing them up because they did sound somewhat similar. Twilight Zone has a lot of that electronic stuff that kind of annoys me. It's not as if they can't sing or something. I mean, Britney Spears might need electronic stuff so it can sound like she can sing, but S.E.S. doesn't. Ooh, and you should definitely make an S.E.S. page! Haven't seen many of those, especially many good ones. Shoo's your favorite? Hmm, I don't really have one [all three of them sound similar to me... O.o], but I am very jealous of Eugene because she gets to flirt with both Fany and Brian in the S.E.S. and Fly to the Sky Day By Day drama version video. [Fany plays some weird drunk in the video who abuses his girlfriend... And Brian's a gas station filler upper... T_T]

Okay, it's time to compare... The girl Korean groups! Whoohoo! Since I'm a SM fogey, I'll start with S.E.S... Anyways, I prefer S.E.S.'s songs to most of the other groups out there. Not every one of their songs is good, but usually they're enjoyable enough. My favorite song is still 'Cause I'm Your Girl... Even if it is from their first album. In terms of looks, I would say Eugene is probably the only one guys would consider hot. But they're all talented, they can sing, I heard their dances suck, but that was from a guy, anyways. I do remember that the dance to Nuh Rul Sarang Hae was kind of lame looking, but whatever... I also like Love and Show Me Your Love. Dreams Come True really annoyed me after awhile. They have really cute little raps.

Baby V.O.X. now... I like Baby V.O.X. a lot more than I did before. And I finally figured out what V.O.X. stands for! Baby Voices Of eXpression. Not bad. Better than FinKL [I'll rant about them next]. S.E.S. stands for Sea Eugene Shoo or Shoo Eugene Sea [probably the first since isn't Sea the leader?], their names. I didn't like Why very much, but Bae Shin [Betrayal] and Game Over are pretty good. I hear Killer is supposed to be good, with a nice dance, but I haven't heard it or seen it. Honestly, I listen to mostly S.E.S. anyways. They're not that pretty, but one or two of them are okay, I suppose. I like the girl rapper. Yea, they dress kind of slutty, but it's still better than Mariah Carey.

FinKL... *grumble* I really don't like FinKL very much. I really should not judge since I haven't heard enough of their songs, but the ones I've heard, I don't like very much. Now was okay though. Most people think Lee Hyori is hot [Jieren does, haha], and she is pretty. But Winston and his FinKL rants [they're so HOT...] during freshman year kind of ruined it for me in the first place. But Fine Killing Liberty? My dears, please learn English before you decide to choose an English name. But then, there might be an entire story behind the name that I simply don't know about. They're all okay looking [I don't really remember], and their dances are okay. Have you ever noticed that the twinkly sound from the beginning of Dang Shil [whatever it's called] is the exact same as Bijou's I Love You More Than Anyone Else? I kept playing the first five seconds of each song over and over, and it is seriously the same twinkly sound.

Muahaha, I like NRG's Bi, the song with the weird opera singer in the background... Kang Ta wrote the song, heh. I really don't listen to a wide variety of Korean music... Usually SM stuff. That's all they have in China, too. I'm going to ask Tina if she can find the latest J CD for me, but I don't know... But Fly to the Sky 1 or Shinhwa 4 will do just fine. [I am a moocher.]

Wahh, I heard One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men for the first time in years today... That song was my favorite back in fifth grade. I used to really like Mariah Carey and Alanis Morissette. Mmm, the first song I liked when I started listening to radio again back in fifth grade was You Learn by Alanis Morissette. *sigh* So long ago... Now I love Incubus's Drive! "Should you choose water over wine, hold the wheel and drive..." Almost makes me motivated to start working towards getting a permit. What is it, 15 and 9 months? 15 and 10 months? I'll be 15 and 9 months in August... I'll get my permit and Julia will already be 17. Blah.

Wow, I was listening to Operation Takeover by H.O.T., the first song I ever heard by them. I thought it was the weirdest song back then, but now it seems normal. Haha. So times change. The first Shinhwa song I heard was Gido, and the first Fly to the Sky song was Fly to the Sky. I heard Yume wo Kasanete first by S.E.S. I remember I didn't like Outside Castle very much when I first heard it, but I did like Candy. Haha. I used to really like Dreams Come True, too. I first listened to Bijou on Jeanne's CD mix, too. One of the ones Ruby burned for her. [Yume wo Kasanete was on it, too, as well as Utada Hikaru's Wait and See.] Weirdo memories... The first anime music I listened to was probably Kenshin music. Sobakasu probably. The first song I got obsessed with was Heart of Sword. I remember I really didn't like Sobakasu at first... Heh. And the first Korean music was S.E.S. The first Chinese music I really liked was Huan Zhu Ge Ge music... My parents used to listen to Teresa Teng when I was younger, and I liked her, but I really got into Huan Zhu Ge Ge music first.

My favorite Shinhwa song is probably... Hae Gyul Sah, for some reason. I like Yo! and All Your Dreams, too, but I'll have to go with Hae Gyul Sah. 'Cause of Eric's cheekbones in the videos and Andy's rapping voice. And the weird dance reminiscent of We Are the Future. [The half-half-all thing.]

Anyways... I'm quite exhausted. And I got almost seven hours of sleep last night... Not sure why I'm so tired. And I'm still sore from ice skating. Let's see... Guys, I only fell TWICE! Haha. Debby also fell twice. Debby is my buddy! I fell on my butt [pick got stuck in the ice], and I just kind of spread myself on the ice for half a second before getting back up. The stupid pick got stuck in the ice again, except this time I pitched forward, went flying, and did a perfect volleyball dive... If only there was a ball. Joy, joy. I wasn't cut out for ice skating. I just kind of did the roller blading thing...

Because I am waiting for my program to finish running, I will compare all five H.O.T. CDs and tell you which one I think is best. Lisa says number two, Wolf and Sheep, is best, but then she hasn't heard much of four or five. [She says it just goes down after 4 and 5.] 1 was... Well, I've only heard two songs from it, Candy and Jun Sah Ae Hoo Yeh [something like that]. Jun Sah [you know what I'm talking about] is funny, hehe. I think it's the "This is a message from H.O.T." part that I like. Two has We Are the Future, Haeng Bok, Nuh Wa Na [You and I]... Not bad. Three has Hope, The Promise of H.O.T., Line Up!... Four has Tooji, Iyah!. Five has Outside Castle, A Song For Lady... I've heard the most out of H.O.T. 5 [I have all the songs somewhere or another]... Just because the members of H.O.T. wrote all the songs, I'll have to give them some mad credit for it. I can't say. It all depends on the mood, I suppose. What are the names of the CDs...? They're like We Hate All Kinds of Violence, Wolf and Sheep, Resurrection, Iyah!, and They Are Nothing Different Than Us? Weird. Haha, oh well. I listen to that stuff, so that just tells you some weird stuff about me, doesn't it?

Lisa and I were thinking about doing a skit senior year called "Drunken Tiger, Smoking Dragon." We'll get someone to be Drunken Master, etc. Rush Hour 2 comes out Friday... Heh, I'll have to go see it. Oh dear, I must've died or something... Or simply run out of music to listen to. Anyways, I'm listening to It's Gonna Be Me on repeat. I like this song. I no longer like 'N Sync. [All I can think of is when Jieren decided he wanted Yoo Seung Jun's hair, and I laughed... Really loud. But then, YSJ hair is better than afro man Justin.] I remember Eddie was listening to it on the bus... Heh, well, what other CD is swirly and Redskins colored?

Lisa and I are having problems finding guys. Well, there just aren't any exceptional ones in the Magnet. There's Sei-Wook the Korean pride ringleader who wears seventy dollar Polo khakis and big black shoes everyday and has callused hands from playing cello who sleeps approximately three hours a night during the school year. And his screen name means "fried Sei-Wook." Alex the breaker wannabe who wears Gap Blue, doesn't own Armani clothes, has real live Chink eyes, keeps his hair in with gel, washes twice a day, and has a pair of nice legs. Who also has the loveliest falls in volleyball. And has no butt. Stephen the guy whose birthday is the same day as mine who now wears contacts, who used to have a funny wave hairdo, sucks at Spanish, does karate along with all those others, and actually attends Chinese school still. Ji-Heon the silent, the Biology savior, the silent, the athletic, and the silent. The one I will [try to] set Lisa up with. Winston the guy who I usually do not get along with but I will try and be fair to him just this once. Winston who can sing pretty well, has more HTML skills than Alex and Stephen, has too many cars, and too much hair. Oh, I hear he can dance, too. And of course, last of the asian sophomore guy crew, Eddie the innocent, Eddie the thug, Eddie the gullible, Eddie the confused, Eddie the Chan Man who rides my school bus in the afternoon! Oh, boy!

So none of those... Then there's William [no way], Andrew [no], Kevin Chang [no way], Kevin Fang [got him saved for someone else XDDD], Wesley [no way], Daniel [*cough* Nope], Josh [nope]... Blah. Oh well. I'm not desperate, hah. I'm just tired. Exhausted.

Hiko Seijuro is the coolest guy! The coolest guy over 40, anyways. Man, I wanna make a shrine to him! Blueicee already made a nice one though... Well, after I finish Alexiel and Jae Won, we'll see...

JAE WON!
Monday, July 30, 2001 @ 06:57 p.m.

Yea, I got some support from Jo about my Jae Won site... The only thing is the layout... The lines and the font look too big to me... Well, they're just going to have to deal while I find another picture to make a layout with...

But definitely, the songs sounded better in Japanese. Just in Love isn't too bad, but I still think the original Yume wo Kasanete sounded better...

Blah, I always end up rambling about how hot I think Korean artists are... Mwah, I'm a doofus.

Blah blah blah..
Monday, July 30, 2001 @ 06:46 p.m.

Yea, I'm a great subject thinker upper... Due to a lack of anything to do at work, you can read my stupid Korean music ramblings [yet again!]

Blah, I'm getting programmer's block [Haha, like I'm a programmer... Right.], so I'm gonna babble about hot guys and maybe even some hot girls [ho!].

More like babble about Korean pop stars [yet again], because there simply aren't any American/Chinese/Japanese pop stars I feel like rambling about... Besides it could just be a continuation of the ramble Lisa and I did this morning. Let's start off with... Of course, Fly to the Sky.

I'll be blunt about this. I've always liked Fany/HwanHee/Hwang Yoon Suk, because I thought he was hot. Now I still think he's hot, but he's more human... He does not look good all the time. Sometimes he makes me laugh because of the way he looks. But overall, I must say I like that guy better than any of the others. Besides, as soon as I started listening to the music, I fell in love with his voice, too. Brian? Well, Brian is pretty cute, too, but I think of him as more of the normal type. He could be someone who goes to my school practically. That's why I didn't think too much of him at first. Besides, his voice isn't quite as fascinating as Fany's, although I do like his rapping. I have to give the kid credit since he actually writes his own raps [lame as they can be sometimes]. The one thing that has bothered me about Fly to the Sky is their dancing... It's not bad. If you ever watch the Intro or Fly to the Sky dance, they can dance. It's more that the dances themselves are so lame looking... Like the Maybe God Knows dance where Fany does some weird Egyptian/cobra looking thing. They've had their bad hairdos, but I've seen just as bad elsewhere. They're both about 5'9" to 5'10", which is a pretty nice height for asians. Sometimes Fany looks sort of fat, but I've gotten used to it, I suppose... Haha.

Let's move on to... What's left of H.O.T. since they were so "hot" and all... Haha. [Tina finally got the H.O.G. joke... O.o] Let's start with the Kang Ta the effeminate lead singer. He used to be my favorite, but then [as it also happened with Lisa], he got annoying. I mean, he is pretty good looking still [if not borderline pretty], and he has an excellent voice [even if it gets annoying when he sings more than half of the song]. Now this kid can write some nice songs, and he can sing while he dances [if it's not lip synching... Which it is sometimes T_T.]. And he's tall, 5'10" or so. Woo Hyuk? Ooh, I love Woo Hyuk. He's so... Childish looking and innocent. But it's effective. He's not cute like the I Wanna Squeeze Your Cheeks cute, more like angelic cute. [I'm not sure if that's completely accurate either.] And you're watching this little angel dance and then he does his crazy scream... Totally weird. It kind of gets to you, because you don't expect it... And he's a great dancer and rapper, which is pretty good, too. He looks kind of small [probably the angelic effect], but I have no idea. I love his fob glasses [well, I call them fob glasses], too. Tony... Tony Tony. Haha, that poster of him that Jeanne gave Tina who gave it to Debby [she loves him] was hilarious. He was in this weird pose, and [I'm sorry] his pants were too tight near the crotch! Bwahaha. And he had his arms crossed behind his head with funky sunglasses. Hahaha. I remember distinctly not picking that picture to make a layout with because of the crotch thing. But Tony's cute. He's got big ears yes, but it's cute. Sometimes he looks like a real monkey, heh. But I love his super fob rapping [always makes me laugh], and he can sing after all. The songs he writes are kind of weird [Korean Pride and Natural Born Killer were both kind of the same type of song, and My Mother was just weird], but it's all good.

New paragraph... Hee Jun now. Hehe, he looks like a big teddy bear! I always remember the We Are the Future performance where he wobbles on one foot right when the camera's on him! But he's funny, but short. His hair can be scary, but I think it fits him. He's a strange guy, but I like that. Not to mention he's an excellent songwriter and composer. And he can sing and rap and dance and write, all the good stuff. But he's not cute... He's the type of guy that you have to get to know and then you'll find the little things about him cute. [Right, I'm talking like I know what I'm talking about...] And of course, Jae Won, the poor guy who is always overlooked. Frankly, I love this guy. He's really tall [he's gotta be more than six feet tall], but I like that. He can sing and dance, but what I like the most is that he can rap. Well, most people can rap if they really wanted to, but I really like the sound of his voice while rapping. He's funny looking, not in the least bit hot. He's so plain looking, but he looks interesting because of it. Sure he wears the weird makeup, but somehow I don't find him half as scary as some of those visual rock stars. He's... Unique. Besides, Time Will Tell has to be my favorite song on H.O.T. 5.

Now... Shinhwa [might as well take care of all those SM/former SM groups...] including Andy. Well, let's just start with Andy then. Andy is rather overlooked, too. In comparison to Eric, he certainly is. I like his voice, too. He's not very cute, but I like how he looks for some reason. I can't say much else about him really. As for Eric... Ahh, that guy makes me laugh sometimes because of how he looks! He has those outrageous cheekbones [I like them!], haha. In the Only One video, he looks really scary. Silly. It's the makeup... Usually I like that guy though, because he looks like a normal guy I might see at school or something. He reminds me of a guy who thinks he's ghetto... [Heh, that's the truth].

Side note: Did I say I didn't like Iyah!? Well, if anything, I like the first three minutes of it [all up to Kang Ta's solo... Everything goes downhill from there. The solo really doesn't seem to fit, but Woo Hyuk's screams are fun to listen to...]. It's very different. I wouldn't be able to define it in terms of American styles of music.

Min Woo... Bwah, I love Min Woo! He's a shorty dancer, but his voice ain't bad. Gotta love his yelling, too, and the psychotic dancing from Yo! I like that guy's cheekbones, too. He can do flips! [And he doesn't look half bad in a beater, so it's all good.] Hye Sung has a great voice. I'm not sure if it's better than Kang Ta's, but I like it better than Kang Ta's, certainly. It's a clear sounding voice... In one picture of Hye Sung he looked like Ho Young from god [I think it was the hair and the big smile.]. I don't think Hye Sung's bad looking, but sometimes his hairstyle really makes him look bad. It looked okay in T.O.P., but I thought it was too long in All Your Dreams. But he seems really delicate to me for some reason [maybe it's because he got cornered in All Your Dreams...].

Now for Jun Jin... He seems tall and overlooked, too. But I like this guy, too. He has... Girlish features almost. He doesn't look like a girl, but his features aren't exactly manly... I think his features aren't totally asian looking. Maybe that's why. But I like him, anyways. Dong Wan is pretty built [not bad anyways], but he is really strange looking. Except I don't like him. I always call him the "ugly guy," but it's not that he's ugly exactly, just weird looking. He can sing, so I'll give him credit for that.

My fingers are getting tired. Anyways, enough analyzing each guy. Let's compare all three groups! It's hard to compare Fly to the Sky to the other two, but I'll try. Fly to the Sky really has one particular style, and it's a pop R&B feel. H.O.T. has had about ten different styles, but none of them are really to the T with the pop R&B style. [I suppose Fly to the Sky is just a bit Americanized.] Even if you don't like H.O.T., you do have to hand it to them for being able to pull off so many styles at least somewhat successfully. Shinhwa is also different. Even though they do have slow ballad type songs, I think they're more of the Yo! and All Your Dreams style usually, with lots of rapping. The rapping is nothing like American rapping, but I like it. I suppose it all depends on what your taste is. In terms of looks... Well, I'll compare H.O.T. and Shinhwa here. Well, I'd probably go with H.O.T... But that's probably because I know less about Shinhwa.

Freestyling.
Sunday, July 29, 2001 @ 09:25 p.m.

Whoof! Tina and I are getting a blog called Freestyling... [Working on a weirdo Woo Hyuk layout for it...] Haha. Jo moved! Pitas wasn't cooperating, but she's up and looking better than ever... It's a red layout! A nice looking one, I might add.

Mwah.
Sunday, July 29, 2001 @ 07:43 p.m.

I finished the layout, and a wee bit of content for my Jae Won site... Yea, I know I listed a few of my projects to the side, but I never follow my plans. I had to make Jae Won a site. He's so ordinary to me, and that's why I like him. He's not even my favorite H.O.T. member... Or former, for that matter. I don't think I have one... Whatever. Not worth the debate.

Blah, I like A4's Because of Love! It has the funniest video... Such a guy video. And I thought the guys were so funny looking... Heh.

Wait...
Sunday, July 29, 2001 @ 11:52 a.m.

But the problem I had was, what's the name of Zita's blog? Does she have one? *curious*

Blog reading craze...
Sunday, July 29, 2001 @ 11:50 a.m.

Mmm, Zita has a nice blog to read, too... Haha, too many creative people! Haha, I should go back to my wallpapering craze now... But I've read quite a few interesting reads, and they're all going down there...

*twiddle*
Sunday, July 29, 2001 @ 11:40 a.m.

Did I mention that Charz is an absolutely awesome person? Dang, I wish I could be creative. Besides, I love asian people who have short hair and glasses... Like me! Yea, if I weren't so lazy, I would put my contacts on, but heck, I am lazy.

*twiddle*
Sunday, July 29, 2001 @ 11:40 a.m.

Blah, I'm a dork!
Sunday, July 29, 2001 @ 11:37 a.m.

So instead of going to church, I'm at home watching my sister who didn't want to go to church. Ho, I'm falling from my religious graciousness... Haha, yea right.

I'm going ice skating this afternoon... Haha, how fun. Considering I've only gone ice skating once in my life, and I only managed not to fall because I caught onto other people before I hit the ice... Well, it will certainly be amusing seeing the frigging tall Sang [oh, he's Sang Jun, not Sang Chi, haha... Guess we guessed wrong.] try and skate. Watch him be some professional and I'll just kind of... Fall flat on my face. Bwahaha.

Pwah!
Sunday, July 29, 2001 @ 10:42 a.m.

Hey, I just realized that I do like Line Up! by H.O.T. Haha, Woo Hyuk is a great screamer if anything...

Can't Wait performance...
Saturday, July 28, 2001 @ 04:51 p.m.

Well, yesterday I went to Lisa's grandma's condo fourteen stories off the ground. Frigging high, I'm telling you. It was scary. I saw Jeanne for the first time since school ended [and she gave me the F2TS 2 CD! Waii!], and Tina and Debby since we all went to see Tomb Raider. Of course, I see Lisa every frigging day practically...

Anyways, we finally watched our Magnet Arts Night performance. What a laugh. Jeanne's copy actually worked, so I'll just get Daniel or Lisa to make a copy for me or something. Oh my gosh... It was so hilarious. First we all come out, looks pretty good, Lisa's hair is bouncing up and down like a ditz. David was a little off, Jess was a little too fast with the piano, but it's all good. My solo sounded weird, but then, I always sound weird. Hahaha, Kevin Chai was so funny when the guys were supposed to be doing the freezes. Well, Kevin and Sang couldn't do them, so they just kind of freestyled while Jieren rapped. Except that they were really just swinging their arms totally out of beat. Hahaha. I almost died laughing. And at the beginning when the guys came in, Alvin did some weird arm swing. And of course, when we messed up on the "hand by your hand" part. Ho, boy. We did it five seconds before everyone else did, and you couldn't really tell unless you looked. But it was hilarious. And at the end, when the guys were breaking, and Sang just got up and walked around. Ahahahaha...

It was lovely. Lovely lovely. Heh. And I learned that sang chi means lettuce in Korean. Whoohoo!

Aww...
Saturday, July 28, 2001 @ 11:04 a.m.

And it's Daniel Tsui's birthday today! Old fogey. Hehe, he got a blog! [Probably got too bored of my pathetic blog, haha...]

Happy belated birthday, Jo!
Saturday, July 28, 2001 @ 10:59 a.m.

Haven't been online in awhile, and I wasn't able to wish you happy birthday earlier! Hope you had fun and didn't get into too much trouble... *wink*

Ahhh...
Saturday, July 28, 2001 @ 10:22 a.m.

I love my Fly to the Sky, lalala. Haha, I'm all obsessed again! How fun! Jeanne's a H.O.T. freak, but that's okay since I can mooch off her, heh.

AHHH!!!
Friday, July 27, 2001 @ 09:51 p.m.

I LOVE YOU JEANNE!!! Whoohoo, I love my Fly to the Sky 2 CD... It's so beautiful. *sob* And guess what, Lisa Kim, I finally found a picture of Fany's right side! Bwahahaha. Oh, I'm an idiot.

Friday... Morning.
Friday, July 27, 2001 @ 09:49 p.m.

Since I woke up late yesterday morning [I woke up at 7:52, and I was out the door at 7:57], my dad has sentenced me to being in bed by ten. I achieved this somewhat, but it certainly didn't mean I was asleep at ten. Actually, I was listening to music till 11:24. Bouncing to We Are the Future in my bed, hahaha. You know what? I am officially in love with Jae Won's voice. I like his rapping! And Hye Sung's voice. Dang, that boy can sing! Kang Ta gets on my nerves after awhile. I finally got to listening to Fly to the Sky again. How? By listening to the song Fly to the Sky? Imagine that. The song I first got obsessed with is the first song I get back into. Funny. So I am back on my Fly to the Sky loving craze. Move over H.O.T., Shinhwa! Haha. That's probably why I thought their raps were so funny... I was too used to Brian's English rapping that actually made sense! I read that Fly to the Sky is making their comeback at the end of the year... *excited*

It's strange to imagine. One day you're just an ordinary teenager, and the next you're performing in front of thousands of screaming fans. Okay, maybe it doesn't go that quickly, but it's really strange to look at the senior pictures of Brian or Eric of Shinhwa and realize that soon after, they became huge Korean pop stars.

Thursday.
Friday, July 27, 2001 @ 09:47 p.m.

Ahh, I am so stupid. I can't believe I forgot the FTP password! Now I can't upload the frigging site... *irresponsible fool* I really hope that it can be found otherwise I'm probably screwed. Ahh... I'll try not to think about it right now... I'll get it up as soon as I can, and that's about as much as I can do now.

Anyways, Dimitry called me last night, and Ophira's back?!! You see, Ophira moved to Israel after freshman year, and now after sophomore year, she has moved back, to her old house even. Wow. [So what was the point of having that big goodbye party, huh? Haha, just kidding.] She might be going back to the Magnet even after missing sophomore year, and all those fun classes: Earth System Science [versus plain old Earth Science], Algorithms and Data Structures [which is basically just C++], Biology [even Bio gets screwed by the Magnet]... I wonder if she'll still be in my math class. She was in my class second semester of freshman year, along with Anushka [who also left], Daniel, Phil, Tracy, Mike... Oh, and Robert, too. Haha, I've forgotten who was in my class, except for the "important" ones. Wait, Omar was in my class, too! Yay, Omar! [I always bothered him in Analysis class second semester soph year, too.] Well, I hope she takes Analysis 1B with us, because there seems to be no girls in those classes [Analysis 1B is the second part of Calculus.]. This year in my class it was like me, Julia, Stina, Kristina, and... Daniel and Omar! [Haha, they're girls now, too?] Oh, and Stephen and Ji-Heon. I seriously had like six classes with Stephen and Ji-Heon, haha.

Oops, I forgot to put the thing with the AIM on the left. I'll fix that when I get home, heh.

I was discussing plans for my birthday party [which won't be till November, but who cares?], and I was like: Okay, we're all going to see the Harry Potter movie [which comes out on my birthday! Waii!], and I'm going to invite all the asian guys, haha [Stephen's birthday happens to be the same day as mine anyways], and you will all sit with who I set you up with, Sei-Wook and Winston will sit together [because I never matched them up with anyone], and I'll just sit and munch on my popcorn by myself [because I never matched myself up with anyone ^^; and I doubt I want to sit with Sei and Winston]. Wonderful. Either that or I'll sneak around and take blackmail pictures of everyone. But probably not that, because I do want to enjoy the movie. Either that or I'll have one of my friends choose me a blind date out of all those "leftover" asian guys or a nice white guy or whatever, hahaha. That would be hilarious. And quite stupid, too. But heck, I'm turning sixteen, might as well have some stupid fun.

Agh, Kang Ta is such a pretty girl! Ahh, he's so pretty! He's way prettier than me T_T. I remember Tina was asking Mr. Wei if he thought Kang Ta looked like a girl: "In that picture, he doesn't, but you don't want to ever be questionable." Haha, I'm almost going to miss Mr. Wei. Not as much as all the white girls who always flirted with him [haha, that is true], but I'll miss him nonetheless.

Here is a list of what I want from Taiwan:

Fly to the Sky anything! [Haha]
Shinhwa 4 CD
Elva Hsiao CD [1, 2, or 3]
The newest J CD [forgot... Is it 3 or 4?]
Huan Zhu Ge Ge soundtrack
Look for Huan Zhu Ge Ge III stuff!
Chinese karaoke [new stuff, not the parent stuff]
Magic Knight Rayearth manga
X Zero artbook

That's not asking for too much, now is it? Haha, whatever. I was even going to ask for DDR, sike sike.

Wednesday.
Friday, July 27, 2001 @ 09:43 p.m.

I'm sure all y'alls want to know my exact plans for my websites [haha, right], but I'm going to just write it out now because it's easier for me to tell what I need to do.

Okay, so I got a new layout for this weblog up, so that means I can put aside designing a new layout for later. The first thing I need to do is to finish revamping the content for fww, make a splash page, add the new character profiles, make Mizuno an award, and if I have the time/patience/creativity, I'll make banners for all my sister sites. Then I'll FTP the entire frigging thing, and I'll focus on other stuff then. I'm dying to make some sort of music site, and remember how originally I wanted to make a Fly to the Sky multimedia goodies sort of site? Well, I'm going to hold off on that and make an asian female singers site. This site can take all the asian female singers that I love and put them all together so I wouldn't have to go and try to make sites for all of them [too much work!]. Probably a page to each singer. I'm thinking... Elva Hsiao, Utada Hikaru, J, Tsai Jolin, Zhao Wei [she sucks as a singer, but it's all good], Ruby Lin/Lin Xin Ru [so does she], Coco Lee [although I can't stand that girl half the time, but she is talented], A-Mei, Hamasaki Ayumi... If I knew more about Faye Wong, I'd do something with her, too. We'll see... It doesn't have to be all solo singers, either. I don't listen to many Korean solo singers, so I'd probably do S.E.S. and Baby VOX [they grew on me, regardless of how much I disliked the song Why], too. But not FinKL. But the first ones I'd probably work on would be Elva, Utada Hikaru, and J, because they're my favorites, hehe. Oh, and I'd never make a BoA page. She's got too many already, and I really don't like that girl all that much anyways. I probably wouldn't want to make a Coco Lee one either, but I haven't seen enough good pages that aren't made by horny guys who think she's hot. I don't think I'd make a Yuki Hsu page either, because Can't Wait was ruined for me, and besides, she made all those bad Chinese versions of Korean songs that make me sick, like for Jinusean's Mal Hae Jo [whatever it's called/spelled].

And I do want to work on that Chink clique, hehe. But I really think I should try working on "substance" sites before making a web clique. Too many of those already anyways.

And this idea is completely off a whim... I always felt sorry for Jae Won because he seemed so overlooked [that's just my initial thought, but I don't know for sure], so I was thinking of making him a mini-shrine. [I swear, sometimes he looks like some sort of visual rock star, but even then no one seems to like him!] Even though I like Tony better, there's already sites for that kid. There's sites for Kang Ta, Woo Hyuk, Hee Jun, Tony, but none for Jae Won! *determined*

And yea, I started making a layout for a Yue shrine, but I think I'll ditch that idea for awhile and work on an Alexiel site, because there's seriously no sites for that cool girl/angel. Plans: finish fww, start Elva/Hikki/J, start Alexiel/look for a nice Jae Won picture, make layouts... I don't want to hound Taylor's account, so I might put the music sites on a free server. Plan, plan, plan. Of course it'd help if my dad wasn't like, Jenny stop using the computer so much. But I'll try to get fww done by the end of the weekend at least. I think I can do that much.

Anyways, enough babbling about making sites... Lisa and I were trying to rewrite the rap for 'Cause I'm Your Girl yesterday. It took us twenty minutes to write four crappy lines! Here's the original:

What's up, what's up, SES
We open up them new chapters
Of funky new jill swing
Here we come, here we come, uh uh, c'mon!

And here's what we came up with:

What's up, what's up, Blair
Can't Wait crew's comin' back with a new flair
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Here we go one more time, uh uh, c'mon!

We were trying to rhyme it, haha. I came up with those last two lines by thinking of "1TYM is one time for your mind," haha. I don't know if the rhythm's right, but heck, I figure if we can get Jieren to rap again, he'll fix it up. That kid can write raps. We can't.

Tina complains that the last line sounds like the 'N Sync song... Bleh. Anyways, Lisa wanted to do a little skit at the beginning of the act, something like having Jieren act like a total fob. Inspired by that Jinusean song that started off like, "Check one [check one], check two [check two], yea yea yea yea yea..." and Tai Mai Shu "microphone testing, 1, 2.... Hi everyone, my name is Tai Mai Shu, and I will rapping for you today a little freestyle."

I'm at a loss of what to say. What the heck do people write in blogs, anyways? I just ramble...

I'm going to Lisa's Friday to have a big Magnet Arts Night meeting.

You know, I'm working with microphones and stuff, right? Well, I was playing music to the microphones instead of using waveforms and stuff, and I kind of had We Are the Future playing a little loud, and I swear all the employees here think I like techno music or something. Actually I just wanted to see if the microphones would pick up the beginning techno part of the song. I really don't like that song very much, but I like the techno part [and the Mortal Kombat sounding part] and the dance. Ahh, I love that dance! Good thing I haven't seen Sang try and do it, because Lisa said that ruined it for her. Kind of like when Sang was trying to imitate T.O.P. So the employees hear: blahlblahblahkoreanblahblahblah WE ARE THE FUTURE!!! Heh, they think I'm crazy. Lisa and I were trying to do the dance, haha. That was scary [no one was around, thank goodness]. We got to the dicky part, and she was like I'm not going to do it, and I pretended to, and we died laughing. Okay, we definitely sound crazy obsessed. Honestly, I like asian music less than I did before, but I still think it's hilarious and I still like the dances [well, a few in particular].

But it's always fun to take a break from work, sit back, and laugh at Korean music videos. Especially everytime Kang Ta comes up in a H.O.T. video [we were also making fun of how H.O.T. couldn't say H.O.T. without a heavy accent T_T], and Lisa yells all sorts of stuff at him. You know what's fun if you're bored and have nothing to do? Watch a video and randomly pause it, and then look at the still and point out what's stupid. We keep watching the SM Town videos since they seem to be the only ones that Lisa's computer can handle, and we noticed that when Kang Ta sings, he has his mouth wide open, and he never closes it! [You have to see it to understand.]

I've decided I like the sound of Woo Hyuk and Jae Won rapping together. I can't tell who's who when they rap by themselves, but I can tell when they're rapping together. Haha.

Jenny: I like that guy's voice!
Lisa: That's two guys.
*later in the song*
Jenny: I like that guy's voice!
Lisa: That's two guys.

Later...
Jenny: *looks at Lisa's 1TYM is One Time For Your Mind CD*
Lisa: It's a really simple design.
Jenny: Oh. Yea, it is simple. Is there supposed to be that big scratch on it?
Lisa: Huh? Oh, no...
Jenny: *looks at Lisa's Jinusean 2 CD* Now that's not simple.
Lisa: They look bad.
Jenny: *peers closely* Hey, it's Tommy boxers...
Lisa: Yea, and he's wearing a bandana.
Jenny: They're not buff. *disappointed*

The 1TYM CD is like tan with white writing on it "1TYM IS ONE TIME FOR YOUR MIND." Jinusean's CD has a picture of them barechested with one of them [Jinu or Sean, can't tell] wearing Tommy boxers and the other wearing a bandana.

And why is that all the girls who don't go to Blair like Andrew Lee or think he's hot? What do they see in him? [Sorry Andrew, but I don't think you're hot.] Haha, wouldn't it be funny if that annoying Chink girl from RM that went to Tina's camp and the annoying Chink girl from RM that was at Dani's birthday party last year were the same person? I hope there's not two really annoying Chink girls from RM.

Tina: Yea, she was really annoying.
Jenny: That reminds me of that really annoying girl at Dani's party last year. Was she Chinese?
Tina: Yea.
Jenny: Tall? Glasses?
Tina: Yea, yea.
Jenny: And Lisa, Jeanne, Christine, and I were just lying on the couch, and she came around and was like, 'Well, if it isn't the asian corner!'
Tina: Yea! She did something like that here, too. I was talking to , and she said, 'Oh, the asian buddies.'
Jenny: Ahh! What if it's the same girl?
Tina: Maybe... Who knows?

There was other stuff that fell into place, too. Freaky.

I like the Drive song by Incubus. It came on the radio, and Lisa and I crooned:

Jenny: Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be thereee...
Lisa: With open arms and open eyes, yea...
Jenny: Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be thereee...
Both: *deep voice* I'll beee thereee...

Heh. I'm listening to the first Backstreet Boys CD... Geez I've run out of music to listen to.

Whoa...
Thursday, July 26, 2001 @ 08:19 p.m.

Sorry if I was being a little too blunt there, but seriously, Falun Gong has affected my life and my family more than anything else. It's not China's fault and it's not completely Falun Gong's, but I have to say it's more related to the cult than it is to China. It hurts inside knowing I don't even have a grandmother in that lady anymore...

Shoot, Tina!
Thursday, July 26, 2001 @ 08:14 p.m.

It's all good what you say about Falun Gong, but do you have any idea what some families go through because of it? I don't expect you to, since I've never told you about it. But it's not all fun and persecution. It's about breaking families apart. It's about how my father hates to speak of his mother because she is obsessed with her cult and doesn't even consider family. That has absolutely nothing to do with China.

I'm so stupid.
Wednesday, July 25, 2001 @ 08:49 p.m.

I lost the FTP password! Noooooo!!! I am so stupid!!!

Boo yea.
Tuesday, July 24, 2001 @ 10:48 p.m.

Boo hah, I finished a new layout for this weblog and added a few cool links! Gee, I've been reading Wami's blog for awhile, both Coming Out and at Gayo Soo Ho Shin [Speaking of which, I thought that Jekki was a six member group...?], but I never linked her, hmph. Hehe, she doesn't even know who I am, but it's all good.

Cat finally got her domain! Whoohoo! I am looking forward to more Huan Zhu Ge Ge stuff, *wink*. And Blueicee also got a domain [Everyone's getting a domain! But me... T_T]! Emrys got a domain awhile back, and I like the layout a lot. If I got a domain...

If I got a domain, I want... *drumroll* Furie.nu! Or Chicoria.net. [Shiawase.net seems to be taken, boo.] I always liked Greek mythology, especially the idea of the three Furies. Oh yea, I never mentioned why I named my collective Chicoria. It's not Japanese, it's not Chinese, it's not English, it's not even Korean [Why would I want a Korean name anyways?], it's... Italian! Yup. Chicoria is Italian for wildflower. I learned that from reading The Deep End of the Ocean. I thought it was a pretty name, anyways...

Well, I didn't really figure out what was wrong with my Photoshop. I think it was just the PSD file. It wouldn't let me make the type more than 18 pixels... But it seemed to work with new image files, so I just kind of tweaked, copied, and pasted. So I finished that layout [for my layout archive, Keikoku. I forgot what that means, but it has to do with deceptive beauty or something... It's also the name of a Siam Shade song.], even though it looks a bit screwed. But it has Sailor Pluto in it! As much as I dislike Sailor Moon, I have to say I adore Sailor Pluto. I wanted to make a shrine to her once, but there's already enough Sailor Moon sites on the web.

And I finally finished the birthday layout for fww! As soon as I fix and revamp some of the content, I'll finally get it up and running at c-b.nu . I bet Gina's wondering what happened to her hostee... I'll get it up over the weekend hopefully. Oh yes, fww has a new sister, too! Mizuno of Golden Dream who I talk to on AIM quite often. She's a really nice person, too.

Yup, I've been web designing for nearly a year now. I remember those first layouts... Erk. Let's just say I never saved those things. I'm not even quite sure why I decided to make a MKR site either. Maybe because MKR was the first anime I watched, not counting the Chinese-dubbed Totoro I watched when I was younger or Sailor Moon [Yea, I watched that, but didn't everyone at one time or another?].

You know, I realize that I never put up a notice at virtue.nu where my collective used to be located that I had moved. I don't think many people even visited the collective when it had been there for one layout, but I should probably put a Moved sign up or something... I'll do it later. *lazy*

This layout is really simple looking, O.o. That's not always a bad thing, but... For some reason, I like it a lot more than some of my other layouts that look kind of cluttered. Inu looks kind of annoyed or maybe disgusted? Haha, I don't know. Inu's the long white-haired bishounen type... Mmm.

This is the first anime/manga layout I've made for this weblog, T_T. All the other ones were of Korean pop stars, Japanese rock stars, and a Canadian singer! I liked the Tony layout [even Lisa admitted she liked it, O.O], but that would have been overkill with the Korean pop stars. I'll put it up eventually, because I do like the layout anyways.
