"Keep going, I'm here. I only look at you, please take my hand. I wanna keep going. I'll never let your hand go--not anywhere. I'll go together with you. I wanna keep going," (Keep Going, Standing Egg)
However much we describe and explain love,
When we fall in love we are ashamed of our words.
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear,
But love unexplained is clearer.
(Description of Love, Jalaluddin Rumi)
Yes, Sir, I’m one of a kind….
“Just because you’re so-called BigBang’s junior group, people’s expectations are very
high. You have to make songs that reach the expectations people have for YG
and Winner. You need to be more tired and more uncomfortable and more scared. You
can’t achieve success just by being in YG” – YG's advice to Winner
"They say that time flies
But you keep breakin' its wings"
Taeyang has released his third solo album with the title song "Eyes, Nose, Lips". The ballad R&B song slayed the charts, received the certified all-kill achievement. After winning local's hearts (by won 6 trophies on music shows so far) and of course international recognition (by topped many iTunes charts and joined Billboard 200 chart), YG prepares another surprise: the YG family cover project. Its very first project was Akdong Musician's cover of Eyes, Nose, Lips. A cute interpretation of the heart-wrenching original version. If in the original version, Taeyang showed us a vibe of how painful and empty he is because of the one he loves, Akdong gave us a feeling of first love disaster. The arrangement sticks with Taeyang's but this one is acoustic. Even though it lacks the sorrowful emotion--puts broken pure love feeling instead, Akdong provided us a fresh cover. Soohyun's high pitches are refreshing and Chanhyuk's rap is cool. Simply, the siblings' cover is beautiful.
“Taeyang is the type whose
understanding of music and dance are really deep”- Yang Hyun Suk, YG Ent.’s
chairman.
‘The sun’ is rising!
Taeyang means sun. Ever since the
first time I’m into Big Bang, I think I knew why YG gave one of the members a
stage name “Taeyang”. He is Korea’s best dancer and best R&B singer. And
with that name--apart from Big Bang's albums, Taeyang has released 3 solo albums: Hot, Solar, and Rise (LOL,
everything is about the sun). He dropped his latest album last night and I stuck
listen to those songs on repeat. Waited for 4 years since his last solo album
in 2010, the singer of "Only Look at Me" is back with stunning songs.
Every time that ordinary man passes by
I hardly ignore his existence
So tell me how to handle the crush
This is your life. Do what you love and do it often.- Holstee ManifestoHave you ever heard about Holstee Manifesto? Here's the complete version of that famous manifesto:
These words knocked my brain so hard. Who would have thought that words could be this strong. So I decide to spread the manifesto to make more people got inspired, just like what happened to me. I don't need to write any additional explanation. The words explain their powerful message by themselves. Life happens once, do the best. Live is short, do only things we love.
If we only have two things and need to sell one of it, which one do we sell? Stereo or bed?
“ Take a seat like a backbeat lover, mixed
tapes and cushions on the floor. I sold my bed but not my stereo, I sold my bed
but not my stereo.”
Last night, Mbak Ki and I
talked about Capital Cities's song. She said, “I sold my bed but not my ipadchu” (she named
her iPad ipadchu) and I was lol-ed at her statement. We were busy arguing which one we love more. Then I jokingly said, "If I have
to choose, I’d love to save my stereo. Haha". I remember when people had their
first salary on handphones, I bought a guitar and a speaker. Whenever I go out more than a day, I miss my speaker (yes. I'm a weirdo). I think I can sleep on the floor but I need
to hear better bass and treble. So, I will sell my bed as long as my stereo is still
on me. Haha, I'm kidding. I need a good sleep too -__-". I think Mbak Ki would reject my opinion but she was agreed. She will sell her bed instead of her iPad (where she saved all the music she likes). Normal people don't answer the same way as these weirdos, seriously. LOL.
Should I see you now, I don’t
think I’ll be
able to say this amount of words. Maybe I’d be too nervous from so much excitement. Been waiting for many
things, but this one seems to be the longest one. So I’ll write this down while waiting for the time for us to meet. So, where should I start?
Looking back to the past, never had I reminisce any kind of romance. Even
for a "deep affection” kind of feeling to a man, I don’t remember any. This might be awkward, maybe. I’m soooo shy to write or talk anything about my love life. I admit I’ve written quite a lot about love--but
believe it or not, those all came wholely from my imagination.
“I’m trying to smile brightly but I don’t like it. I
think I’m ugly and nobody wants to love me. Just like her, I wanna be pretty. I wanna be pretty. Don't lie to my face cuz I know I'm ugly“-- Ugly, 2NE1
I just love it. The uptempo track said that beauty standard is
so annoying. This song contained ”just another girl” emotion. Feeling when people
think you’re so-so: not beautiful, smart, talented, and skilled, but you keep struggling on. But hey, we’re not “just another girls” just because we’re not considered as the pretty ones.
