Secret Confessions with APINK's SECRET GARDEN
Saturday, July 20, 2013
okay, so 2NE1's time is over!!! [in my blog feature that is....] and it's due for me to make another review for this week's releases...... though you migght be expecting me to do BAP's Hurricane this week.... well I'm quite not.... though I'm posting their MV on my featured this week.... [BABY LOVE!!!]so to tell you honestly, though it crossed my mind as well, I really wanted to review BEAST's Shadow this week..... but something tells me (its my friends actually) that I should do Apink..... so....... APINK it is.....
Apink's Secret Garden. a song that speaks about opening her secret garden to the man she loves and making her confession there and saying that this is our garden....... well if we put it in easier terms..... it talks about opening up to that man you love about your feelings and welcoming him to you world...... [PERIOD].....
[I did make sense right?]
so honestly speaking, Secret Garden is one of my picks in their Mini Album released recently.... it gives you the feeling of a dreamland or a fairy tale surroundings, though you might be inside a crazy jeepney in reality..... it's that kind of feel....
and yeah, the MV also did give us that feel..... like these pretty girls all dressed in fairy white outfits and walking around the garden/nature....
well it was kind of that feel.... until they were made to sing in front of a big house
...perfectly wrong...
I'm not really going to talk about much on the music video itself, since there's not much to say about it...... instead...... let me tap a little on some of the members that caught my heart, and ears.......
to start off......
Eunji's high notes are to die for.... seriously, I'd die to have that high voice register.... [warning: Hyperbole intended]
next in my list is the vocally improved girl, Bomi..... I seriously think her vocals improved.... well not just in this song but also in all the other songs in their album.....
well I just think this time, it's because she already mastered the use of her vibrato..... which is really nice to hear in every end of her part....
and last, because a friend told me to " praise chorong all the way"... I'll include her to my list....
ever wonder what impact leader Chorong gives to their songs??.... (not including her rap parts).....
well it's her uniquely engineered voice..... it's that mixture of husky + nasal + soft voice of hers that makes it distinguished from the others.....
her voice in their songs including this one is like a break from the usual high pitched cutesy falsetto voice we could hear always.......
it's like a breathe of fresh air [yeah, I said this before]
think it ends here..... hope you find my biased review reasonable for some reasons.... ahhahaha.....
that's it....
P.S
my favorite scene in the MV.... don't know why....
APINK's SECRET GARDEN..... watch it here....

We Got Married is the name, Virtual Marriage is the Game: let's talk WGM
Monday, July 15, 2013
So I have been Following WGM's Season 3 lately, like really watching it week by week...... simply because (1) I find it really entertaining, (2) it's like having Romance from dramas coupled with the Comedy of variety shows in one.
so what I have here is a couple of lines these couples might actually be saying in the duration of their virtual marriage together.
[P.S: I didn't include Julien-Se ah in the couples for I didn't really follow them]
lets start with the first couple I followed for this season.
1) KWANGHEE-SUNHWA couple
So this couple started out as friends in the industry even before they were in contract to be virtual couples. so basically, both of them already know an overview of each other. so if we put their virtual relationship in one phrase/quote it would be "we're friends, so let's see if we can go further than that....." thus we can see them trying... kekekek
2) LEE JOON- OH YEON SEO couple
the "If only we had more time:" couple.... they are by far the fastest, or should I say shortest span couple in this season. Well they were actually doing great, until that disappointing thing, of which I don't really want to discuss, happened.... I personally loved them because it was a full representation of a couple getting to know each other as time goes by.... sucks for them, they wanted to do it gradually, but time just won't cooperate and ended their relationship right there and then.... tsktsktsk
3) JUNG IN - JUNG CHI couple
The "Let's just spend more memories in this show together" couple.. this 10years and counting real couple is one of the first in WGM history [well as far as I know].... WGM might be aiming for something new to show us in the angle of a real couple. Nothing more about this couple... only the fact that they are really really dating, and it has been a decade already... and still they did not have thoughts of marrying....
4) NAEUN - TAEMIN couple
the "so this is what getting married is all about" couple..... so innocent couple. makes you feel like you are watching highschoolers in a getting to know stage. They are both so childish in every state, that makes them look really adorable. this couple is intended for people who wants to see pure and innocent love...
and last but not least, my fave for this season....
5) JINWOON - JUNHEE
the couple that would make us hear them say "if only this relationship was true" in each time they make contact. this couple is indeed very realistic. the natural skinship they show on TV... it would really get you thinking, "are they for real?" [well they might be dating or not, one thing is for sure (jun hee confessed so) that they see each other off-cameras] ..... well shippers, can't we just go loco over that?!??!?!..... as for me, just seeing them understanding each others differences (esp. age) and learning to take on their responsibility is enough..... okay can't you guys just get together! please!
so that would be all for now..... this is me,.. saying goodbye.....
[poll] let me know your fave couple!..... is it 1,2,3,4 or 5.. or any other couples in mind?

fell all over for 2NE1's Falling in Love comebacks stage....
Thursday, July 11, 2013
okay so this is gonna be short... since I'm still doing a throwback thursday still [hopefully]
so, one word on 2ne1's comeback stage..... DAEBAK!!!!....
it's indeed a comeback stage that is so great despite the fact that the songs first impression for me was not that good.... now I say, THANK YOU YG! that comeback stage is so nice....
now imagine if that Inkigayo stage pushed through last sunday..... feedback could have been better....
I love everything on it... the beach scene, where they even went barefoot, saying goodbye for a while to their swag shoes.... even the next concept was very nice....
the dance.... though it was not that amazing thing of a choreography... but it is some dance I could picture out people on the beach would dance to... which might really be their goal in this song....
I love how they seem to enjoy every moment of it... each note in the song and each step in the choreography is really a time of their lives..... really like it.... it's the 2ne1 energy that I've been waiting to see for the past 2 years.... yeah make that 2.....
in another thought, I think CL proved herself right in emphasizing that 2ne1's identity is still "undefined" and will remain to be in the long run..... for they don't want to brand 2ne1 with a specific genre.... because 2ne1 will continue to explore the realms of music... and try everything to their delight.....
[yeah, and whatever music they try... it's still gonna be DAEBAK.... as always.......
negativities though....
where did the live vocals go?.... 2ne1 has alwas been singing live... but now I'm really in an internal argument if they are singing live or not.... are they? or are they not?...
and I really missed Bommie Unnie's natural 8D aegeo... now it only comes on short periods in between the performance.. [I still really believe she went for another surgery prior to the comeback..... yes I do]... she got sexier though... I must admit.... and her short hair made her look younger..... [well they have to do that]
so yeah... it ends here.....
just wanna say that CL LOOKS SO PRETTY LATELY......... and I REALLY LOVE THEIR ENDING POSE....

FALLING IN LOVE with 2NE1
Monday, July 8, 2013
honestly, I really am uncertain where to start right now....... hmmmm......first of all... just wanna SCREAM OUT LOUD................... YEY~!... my queens are back!.... yeah and they're back for good.... LOL!....
so okay, I really don't have the luxury of time to do this spazz/review thing.. but since they are my girls, I really can't just turn my back without making this review....... so let's get straight to the point....
so finally 2ne1 made a comeback after almost or lets say exactly a year... with FALLING IN LOVE...
so what does this song behind the SUMMER/EGYPTIAN themed MV talks about..? well it's just simply talking about "falling in love"..... the girls explains how they feel about seeing that someone and how good they can be together..... well that's that..... now I can say, they are really coming to the mature side on their songs...... [but honestly... part of me misses "anthem-like" songs of 2ne1..... those songs talking about themselves..... on being the best..... and nobody can just simply pull them down....... and not the mainstream "love" songs that any other idols sing about.................. nevertheless, its always good to change once in a while]
well now speaking of the song.... lets just admit it that it's not the best release of 2ne1 so far and if I'm to speak harsh, it has a thin chance of winning charts and everything....... [unless of course if BlackJacks will make a good job taking them to the top charts...biased-ly speaking]...........well, it has this same formula as CL's GZBE don't you think? (but GZBE had that CL feel to it.... and disappointingly this didn't have the 2ne1 feel.... or did I just miss it?....kkkk) ......... which I believe only tells us one thing.....they're hitting on the western market........ [despite the fact that the MV is "summer" which can also be directed towards the Korean market because its summer in Korea right now...makes sense?]
I really don't know, but I'm kinda trying hard to look even deeper and trying to find out the 2ne1 spice in it.... which kinda gone lost in this song.... I don't know, but it didn't appeal to me immediately, either because I'm no fan of reggae songs, or it's just simply not that appealing. it lacked the certain spice that could get me jump up and down on my seat, clap my hands hard and shout "daebak!"
but then again, I have a commitment as a BLACKJACK and that is to support my girls no matter what.... [hate the game not the players]
I really did love this part though
"are you ready?"
now though the song did not really grab me at first..... I must admit that it can get me swaying to the beat every time I hear it (include the first time there)..... gives me an illusion of seeing people in the beach dancing to this at night.... BEACH PARTEY~!!!!
and speaking of dance... I really hope they would at least promote with a daebak choreography............ well as far as I can see in the MV, the choreo is not that bad.... and have you guys saw it? how BOMmie seem to fit the choreography..... like if i were to give a genre to the dance, I would really be proud to use "Bom" as an answer.... honestly... Bommie did Shine.....
8D unnie pulling out an aegyeo
I don't really have much to say about the MV or the song.... so allow me to just marvel at the girls' appearances....... because they are all so beautiful.....
CL is growing up really beautifully......
MINZY finally is showing some flesh.... taking pride of being ERO-MAKNAE
DARA though I don't really like her blonde hair still looks amazing and of course, pretty
BOM well always my Unnie Doll..... no mater what people call her, it's her Doll-like features that I love the most (thought I know they're not original...kkk)
Dara, still pretty in blonde
is CL's mole on the rightside of her chin real?... it's the second time I saw that
(GZBE and FALLIN IN LOVE)
it's this one..... I find it funny why do they really have to dance in front of those basketball players............ this can't be.... hahahah
and those closeup shots of the boys..... euh... awkward!!.... reminds me of those 90's western MVs my unnie used to watch.... aahhahah
and those closeup shots of the boys..... euh... awkward!!.... reminds me of those 90's western MVs my unnie used to watch.... aahhahah
and so here comes my YES or NO question for the week.....
.......2NE1's comeback song.... YES or NO?..... leave me a comment!

혼자가 아냐... because you will never be alone: APink's No No No
Friday, July 5, 2013
before I start this review.... I just wanna say.......... woopy~! finally watched the MV....!! hahahah.....and as promised, APink's on my featured videos right now [that's gonna be quick though, 2ne1's coming this monday] .... because I'm going to talk about their Comeback track "NoNoNo"
so okay, A-Pink is back with a song that tells us all that Apink is with us always...... well that's the whole point in their song. they're like telling someone that "you are not alone" "I'll be your strength" "we'll always be together".... which kinda is very well interpreted in the MV.....
[oh... a friend and I came to discuss the song and then came to a conclusion that it must be a song they are singing for YooKyung..... that she's not alone on whatever she's going through.... makes sense right?.... nice interpretation Arnold!.... ahahhaha...(I'm such a failure on that part)]
..so, in the MV we can see how the girls are having fun together, baking, decorating, celebrating.... [celebrating an aniversary or sumthing???] well I wanna see it as them celebrating their LOOONG awaited comeback..... wooohooo! Pandas celebrate!
now lets go to some few point that captured me in this new release......
foremost...... I love it because it's SO APINK!!!! now I really would like to make a petition to make a new genre..... and that's APink genre.... ahahha.... it's always the cute and funky and kinda sexy feel all mixed together in an unexplained way that by far only Apink can pull off.....
and I love that funky retro intro... so catchy....
kekeke..... I find this scene funny.... =)))
isn't Bomi pretty in this one?...
speaking of APink as a genre..... of course their Choreography is SOOO APINK as well..... those hip moves and line dances where they come out one by one from a straight line (oh you know what I mean)..... that's sooooo APINK..... (I know other groups do that as well........ but biased me, I think APink does it the best)..... and those hip swaying dance that started way before their debut and was made better during their Hush promotions...... well, they're quite owning it already.....
[kekeke..... it's crossing my mind already..... how about a new cover?...probably, maybe....]
retro outfits redesigned
and another thing..... these outfits of theirs really caught me... I mean isn't the matching top and bottom something so vintage.... but look at how their stylists made it so modern by making them crop tops.... well that's also to suggest that APink is sexy.... hahahah....
now Apink really is a genre..... how can they package themselves to look so kiddie but sexy at the same time..... they're like grown-up kids.... hahahah
lastly, I'm not really on to the negatives of this track right now.... so I'm just gonna point out what appeared really wrong to me.....
I don't buy this
I mean, what kind of ending is this? really now.... and it's not the choreo I'm making fuzz about (though admit it, that's a weird last pose)...... it's the off centered shot I'm talking about..... can you see it?. the girls are off centered, and even Naeun is not on an equal distance as Chorong is, when they're supposed to be balanced....... well it's not that I'm such an expert already that I can just diss it out.... what I'm just saying is.... it's visually wrong.... I mean, this is an official mv that all the world has an access to.... they could have at least made that one shot perfect.....(period)....... I rest my case....
and oh.... before I leave..... I have a question.....
CHORONG'S NEW BANGS..... "YES or NO?" [you can leave ma a comment here, or on my chatbox]
