feeling cold and missing someone; 2NE1's MISSING YOU
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
foremost, before I start this post, I'd like to thank my laptop for continuously playing a 340p video in full HD straight...... like this is the only video it played on like that..... oh thank you laptop.... you never gone wrong on a 2ne1 MV,,, ahahhah.....

so now to my main point......

2NE1's NEW SONG IS FREAKIN' UHMAZING!!!!

I'm not saying this because I'm such a "badass-bias" but I'm saying this because it's true..... I know a good song when I hear one..... [yeah, I've said that a hundred times already].....
seriously, from that opening that goes "ooohoooohoooh oho oho" sumthing like that... until that acapella ending of Bom sound really amazing..... if we listen to this song very closely, you might wanna point out how it seem to have 3 different songs in one. the intro was kinda diff, the body was diff, and the outro was diff too.... but it was perfectly mixed that it made out one freakin' awesome song...... and i love that plop plop sound..... it sounds like a bubble popping all around..... ahhahaha

so the song talks about missing someone, the verses kinda gives out a strong aura to the song giving out lines like "I don't want a childish love that just merely plays with fire" or things like "don't get too comfortable,
we've already separated" but in the end, they fall off their grips and and admits that they misses the boy despite the hate................................................................. well basically what they are trying to say is, "it's cold"[LOL]
yeah, it's just like that.....



the video shows lots of imagery in it..... not much story, just imagery... there's scenes of them just sitting around like waiting for nothing hugging themselves off the coldness, and some shots of feather burning as Dara sings about how she hates having that childish love that plays with fire" [sorry, I quoted this twice
already... ahahahha]

and how CL sings about the feeling of shrinking and here she is lying on the floor with the camera really far away while she appears to be very little on screen,.... and then we see Dara with a Chessboard singing about an elderly love, which makes sense since chess games are usually associated as being played by older people........... and how snow seemed to shower on them for about 3/4 of the MV, depicting coldness................. and so on.................................................................



but you know what was the MOST striking part in the mv.... and let's just say my favorite scene......... it's this...


CL's nude but very beautifully shot scene...... yes very beautiful..........
 i mentioned earlier how this MV has lots of imagery in it... this is just one of them..... well it's kind of a symbolism actually....... we can see how different cold elements are here..... (1) cement, yes cement gets really cold on a cold wheather.. (2) CL naked sitting on that cold cement, (3) snow continues to shower on her; and (4) that text behind her, depicting how lonely her world is, or let's say, how lonely her world will be in the future...... it's like a lot of symbolism for coldness in one...... imagine how cold is that......
so this scene is just a representation of the loneliness in their song.....

and this nude act of CL is not the dirty kind of nude one might expect... it's honestly very artistic in a way it's kinda elegant... gaaahhh... i can't really describe it in words...... but you know what I mean...... okay whatever..... I rest my case...... period..

now, I want to raise this issue in defense of CL.[I know you might not have commented on this, but some did, just let me talk it out a bit]... yes, CL went nude for this MV, but definitely she still didn't grab the show [like what some netizens are commenting]......... she was just CL, a member of 2ne1 in this MV........ this scene might be the most beautiful in the MV, but it was just so so, I mean, no highlight or whatever...... she didn't even have a lot of parts in the song, unlike how we usually hear from 2ne1's other songs....... so, haters, KEEP AWAY FROM MY QUEEN!!!!!

honestly, it's Bom who kept on stealing my eyes on this MV, or let's say, "kept on stealing my full attention"...
well not only did she look so good, but her mermaid voice just suit the song well..... [yeah, I call it mermaid voice from now on...... don't you agree?..... ahahha]

well i Thank 2ne1, or i wanna thank YG, okay, the producer/composer of this song that is [it's Teddy still, right?].... for making such an amazing song..... honestly, I felt so moved by this song, melody wise and lyrics wise, and video wise.... love it!... never felt this moved over a 2ne1 song since I-can't-even-remember..... [well lets just say, since I Love You, all of their songs lacked impact, not until this one...] honestly speaking, since the time they decided to go on a mature image and start singing about love, this is the only song by far that sounded like they meant it.........

then again, like thank God my Queens are back!.....


okay, since I have a lot of confidence in this song, allow me to say this out loud............... THIS SONG will definitely CLIMB up charts!..... yeah!.... hahahah

okay, bye........

71 Into The Fire
Friday, November 8, 2013
it's 6am and I still have something to do at this hour, but I might have to delay it because I really have to share this...........................................................

so because of the super typhoon Yolanda that just passed by our country, I was stuck in a bored-up day [blackout in the whole city] yesterday which made me end up sleeping the whole afternoon and already in bed at 9pm; woke up at 11pm and then 3am, and never got back to sleep again [but good news, electricity was back]............................

so in effect I turned on my laptop and started scrolling over my downloaded stuff and clicked play on this movie, 


71 Into the Fire

it's a movie based on a true story way back during the WW2 times, where the North and South Korea were in a full scale war.............. there's these 71 student soldiers recruited to fight the war. they were stationed at
Pohang girls school and eventually served their mission well. they were able to delay the North Korean attack by 11 hours, enough for the South Korean soldiers to prepare as well.


so yeah, very nice movie. I was particularly moved by TOP's character, Oh Jang Beom. he started from a rattling student soldier to a fearless commander in charge of the
70 other student soldiers. and yes, his character was very witty.



what happened with those students really gave me an "awe" towards them knowing how fearless they were just to protect their country. [whether or not those scenes were the whole truth or some of them were already fictionalized, doesn't matter though, it's just the thought of seeing them so fearless amazes me.]



[SPOILER ALERT!!] I love how it ended up.... like all 71 of them died in honor, sacrificing their lives for
their country. I mean, I was murmuring to myself how sad would it be it he and his comrade "Go Gab Jo" would die after fighting so fearlessly, but then again, how can a true story adaptation have a cliche ending...... this is not Disney after all.... kekeke.....


now as I think back to it, while I was watching, I was not completely, like a hundred percent, concentrating on what I was watching, I was, almost 10-15% of the time giving out random comments about how great and handsome and manly and cool TOP was.....
[kyaaa! seriously, he look so cool. even though he's quite chubby in this one that his eyes seemed smaller and more closer to each other compared to if he's thinner.]

and yeah, did you know, Kwon Sang Woo also starred in the movie. [as the juvenile who instead of going to jail, chose to fight the war against the communist north.]


well well well..... I end here.... this movie is really great, my friends haven't gone wrong then they recommended this movie to me...... honestly don't know why warfare movies seem to interest me a lot..... by  a lot means, really "a lot"... aahhahah

PS thank you Steph for the copy!!!!!

"Kiss kiss kiss Baby: MissA's HUSH"
Thursday, November 7, 2013
it's quite the catch nowadays, that songs have kinda a double meaning in it that would suggest sex in them...... and I thought of the same thing the moment I came to know this song..... [but sorry, I was wrong]



so yeah... here we go with MissA's new single, HUSH..... a song that initially would give you a wrong impression, but in reality, it talks about the feeling/happening while you kiss [and kiss alone]......... okay....... [insert emoticon here]
kekeke.....

yeah, I know this song has the same title with the fairy ladies', Apink, prev song... but the song tells a different story....... Apink's Hush was like "hush my friend, don't tell him I like him~! (with a nervous expression)"......while this Hush is like the famous song, "Shut up and kiss me"........ oooohhh too mature eh... hahahaha
and you might get a little fired up, but let me stress on the fact that THERE'S NOTHING WRONG IN HAVING THE SAME SONG TITLE........ I mean, it's a fad now..... lots of artists have the same song title..... admit it...... hahahah

well honestly speaking, this kinda, just kinda, disappointed me as a [kinda] SayA [kekeke].. since it seemed to me MissA went mainstream... I mean I know MissA has always been a sexy group... but there's just a drop in it that MV that made me think MissA camouflaged into the "sexy" fad of kpop.......
but thank God all of those were washed away by a super MissA-ish live stage on MCD...... all their snap snap choreography were still there..... and yeah, that's totally a MissA thing..... [ONLY MISS A CAN PULL THAT OFF. hahaha] yes, that stage made me go "DAEBAK! they're still 'the MISS A' after all"....



and yeah, they never forgot the flooring thing.... though that leg spread was a first that i saw from them...
their bar choreography was good too.... and I so love that silhouette thing in the beginning.... [though they gave me the feeling of "if After school is on poles, we'll be on bars" thing] oh well.......








I wanna applaud the MV itself...... well I just love the movie quality it bears..... well if we look at the MV, it gives us this feeling of watching a movie and not an MV..... [you get what I mean right..]
the sets, the filters, the colors and even the angles were really movie-ish..... daebak!....


I didn't really get the connection of the MV to the song though.... the MV seemed like a horror flick to me [the colors and the abandoned-looking-places, the water?]. though it might really seem vague on the surface, I think I get what all of these means....... [but I'm not gonna discuss it here... sorry kekeke]



oh well, this is just a short one.... since I don't really have anything to say...... since, it's just OKAY to me..... the "not so good yet not so bad" level....
any yeah, the song is a good one though.... the sleeper effect (using repetition) is still their technique [though it's not JYP who wrote this one]...... as usual... JYPE esp MissA songs are expert in these things.... haahhhah

that's all for now.... pye pye~!

making love NOW: Trouble Maker - "NOW"
Saturday, November 2, 2013
even though I really can't find the right words to say in this one, I'm doing a review because a friend requested me to do so............ [wow, this is really hard for me]..... okay

after a soooo long hiatus(?) from the MV review stuff, finally I'm back with a review which I'm not sure you're gonna agree with.........

TROUBLE MAKER: NOW



so shall I start with the negative?.... hahahaha

I quite honestly don't get this MV..... I was watching it the first time and I found myself speechless; so I watched it again, and again, and again, and again....................... and in the end all I can say is, "this is such a porn flick!"........

I don't know, you might wanna disagree with me but the song itself doesn't quite say anything other than 'there is no more tomorrow, so let's do it NOW'...... there might be hidden lessons in it like, "live your life to the fullest because there's no tomorrow"... but the MV seriously tells me nothing but "let's make love because there's no more tomorrow..... let's do it NOW"........  honestly,,, the MV itself is composed of 3/4 kissing scenes/ intimate scenes........
I have a friend though who argue's that it's HOT/steamy.................. ......................................... I DON'T AGREE~!!..... I know HOT and STEAMY when I see one [eg. Tablo's BAD]..... but this... it's too...................................................... [I can't find the right word.....]

and that setting-fire-to-the-wall scene just didn't make sense to me...... like eeehhh???? what did the wall do to you guys?.... it's like they threw gas on it, then set it on fire and then the kissed right beside that wall..... whaaat????!?!??!.... *tweet tweet, tweet tweet*...... 
I do really feel like they're giving us the "Bonnie and Clyde" feel.... [oooh BnC is getting popular in kpop these days] but noooo.... it didn't even reach that level..... [sorry, my opinion]

okay, enough with that side, cause I'd just probably say over and over again that this MV is nothing but a pron flick...... so allow me [fans] to lighten up your mood by switching off to the positive side....... [yeeeey~!]

................ so once again, it didn't fail me when I said at the thought of their comeback, "Trouble Maker will be back with a great song"........... by great I mean catchy and seriously fixating song..... don't you agree??? this song is nice~! esp those "uuuuuhhhh Tell me now, now, now" parts and the "gogogo, I don't wanna go"......... I think they mixed it so good that it sounds great despite the obvious autotune in it [most autotuned songs doesn't sound good these days........ *cough* t-ara *cough*]

and the MV was made nicely..... [the cinematography that is] I love the panning and the tilting parts in
Hyosung's Joker scene... though I don't really get that one...... hello joker????.... hahahahah

and I do love that drift scene!.... like woah~! and then they started dancing..... I love that... so cool.... just think about how much efforts they[prod] gave out just to pull off that scene.... so nice~!

okaaaaay.... I end here.... ahahhaha..... [so sudden right]

may you want to agree or pull out an arguement to disagree.... don't hesitate to leave a comment right there on my shoutbox or on my facebook page.......

P.S: I'm not gonna change my featured video to this one... so here we go, I'll just include it here...
