  • Funniest Offensive Thing Ever!

    Just read Lainey’s Gossip. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. You all must read it!

    People can’t tell Asians apart.

    Believe it or not, we Asians don’t all have grandmas called Mrs Wong.

    Funny. But I did! I never met my Grandma Wong, but I did have one. LOL’

    Talk to Asians, and they will tell you all black people look the same… or white people. The funniest thing, Bi (Rain), the biggest star in Korea… almost topping the TIME poll of Most Influentials, and People messes it up.

    There are people that meet my mom and my aunt, thinking they look exactly the same, when in reality they don’t even seem related. On the other hand, when we went to China, no one related them. My mom looks more like she’d be Malaysian, or Thai… or Vietnamese. My aunt, she looks like Yoko Ono. Word. She looks so much like Yoko that even a group of Japanese tourists asked her if she was… and we were on our way to Helsinki from Stockholm. She looks that much like her.

  • Prisoner of Love, and other Music!

    As my obsession with Last Friends has surface in the past days (yes, that includes lurk into discussion boards), I have decided to make a new music post, even though it’s only been barely 10 days since my last music post. What does that mean? It means that all I’m about to post is what I have been listening in the past 10 days. LOL’

    Romaji lyrics to Prisoner of Love by Utada Hikaru (Theme of Last Friends) posted thanks to flyingcrispi! Translation included in their post~~

  • Dying with Envy!

    I always do this to myself… check on Ticketmaster to see what concerts I can’t attend to. I blame it on Madonna this time~~ The headlines of Madonna breaking another record got me to go to the Live Nation website, and you could check up on the upcoming concerts they had, so it got me thinking what was on Ticketmaster. And BAM!

    Plaza Nightclub has 4 shows I want to attend~~~
    Tokyo Police Club – May 15 – $17.85
    Melanie C – May 17 – $35
    Los Campesinos! – June 1st – $15.50
    The Ting Tings – June 9 – $13.50

    and the Commodore Ballroom will have The Kooks on May 24 for only $18.50

    Sucks not to be there

  • Last Friends – Rasuto Furenzu – ラスト フレンズ

    I have been watching one of the latest Japanese Dramas (JDrama), Last Friends… or RASUTO FURENZU as its read Katakana name. It is the first Asian drama I have seen (Chinese, Korean… or any other) – and despite the fact that I have seen my fair amount of Asian films, or listened to music in an Asiatic language. Last Friends is my first EVER Asian Soap… or as I call it, my AsiaNovela.

    Last Thursday, we saw the fifth episode… so I have been roughly watching this weekly for the past month, and I can’t wait for more! (more…)

  • Hiragana KATAKANA for the English-speaking Kids!!

    I just got an email from performer Alyssa Collins with a link to a song you all can purchase on iTunes. It’s called the Hiragana Song, and includes all lyrics in romaji and English explaining to little kids the sound of the A – I- U – E – O (which is not normal if you speak English).

    You can preview the song here… though it’s quite a long preview, haha. It also has the lyrics!

  • Manmaru SUMAIRU

    I haven’t really heard the song, just found it by checking up on the Hajimete Hajimemashite post – Truly a surprise to find that they have changed the song on their site.

    Also, testing out a really useful tool I found. A romanization (or transliteration) tool. In Japanese, it can only read Hiragana and Katakana, though… so it might not be much help reading something like a whole website or lyrics to songs using Kanji, but it sure helps reading simple Japanese to those us lazy like me.

  • All Hail Nine Inch Nails and Torrents

    Nine Inch Nails just became a LOT cooler in the online community because their latest album The Slip cannot only be downloaded as a .ZIP file on MP3 format, but you can also download it as FLAC, M4A and WAVE (that file is over 1GB!!!) for super non-compress audio. And they use torrents for the last three formats… only cool kids use Torrents. LOL’

    To top Radiohead off, NIN didn’t ask you to put a price to their music, and gives you the full album art on PDF format for you to print and have, as well.

    Now it will all be a matter of waiting to see what this move will bring them. In the meantime, you can download Nine Inch Nails’ album The Slip from their website.

  • Hey, Betty! You are Beautiful!

    Another motion graphic post! Just trying to add post count here, teehee!

    The Saline Project has a commercial for Ugly Betty, featuring Mika’s Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) track remix for the one and only Betty Suarez, sweet America Ferrera. The commercial features all the cast (I think) through Betty’s Betty-colored glasses.

    Ugly Betty – Oh Betty, We Just Can’t Get Enough

  • My Favorite Actor is… WHO?

    All the way back in September, I made a small list of some of my favorite actresses that people didn’t have idea who they were. But I don’t seem to have the same knack for spotting unknown names for male actors… funny, eh? I just realized this when making this list. Since most of the names are probably known, will post them from the ones I think are less known to the most known. And notice? No TV stars that I can recall~ WEIRD.

    *EDIT*
    How could I forget him??? Just added him on the first spot of actors that you probably don’t know.

  • New Month, New Music!

    It’s been a month since the last music post update! Since then, as you can see… haven’t change the Deezer player, ha! Haven’t changed the music… BUT, no one has complained – so it’s okay for me to procrastinate. Anyway, this is the update from the last list… (more…)
