I had tried to resist you all throughout my trip in Taiwan when I was bombarded by your beautiful face selling me stuff from 7/11. How can you be a pretty boy and super sexy as well??

You should probably shave that 5-o’clock-not-a-shadow. It looks pretty silly.

This is a shot from the February 2012 edition of BQ (北京青年周刊) magazine, to promote the rom-com Ai LOVE.

Though, still working out those kinks.

I’m considering changing some plugins…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — I find it shocking that this is the same girl that needed to research sexyness for Abracadabra. Having said that, I love LOVE LOVE her latest mini album, so much at first listen that I’ve already picked up a physical copy of it to have in my collection.

The track Tinkerbell is sick, and it makes an interesting contrast to this clip of GaIn giving pole-dancing lessons in a really funny way.

Did I ever tell you about my classmate from English class? Her last name was Sigismondi as well. I can’t even remember her name, and faintly remember her face… but I remember her. She was one of the only students who was a mother at the time… I wonder what happened to her.

ANYWAY, here’s Pink’s latest music video. It’s the most tight music video she’s ever done.

Ghost and I are planning to (just planning to) make a list of all the videos we can come up that have prominent dancing. Some ideas already brewing in my head, the list might turn into something awesome.

I think we missed the look at Peruvian Posters of 2011… but, oh, well~~~

Here’s this year’s look!
Part I – but there’s no post helped by Google Translate. xD
Part II – Google Translate

Sorry, no translation this year.

Mandarin Ode to Vancouver Friends

So I had to write a small composition about my favorite city, so I picked Vancouver because it’s the only other city I can freely talk about. I wrote 130 characters — give or take — and made me realize just how much you can say on Weibo in 140 characters. Once I have a better handling of words, I might really do 140 Chinese characters music and movie reviews on there~

我的最喜欢城市是温哥华。 我曾经在那里学过图像设计和动画设计。
我一定对温哥华很熟悉比利马。 我很喜欢经常跟朋友们到处跑和照照片。
我常常想温哥华,对我的温哥华朋友有很深的感情,所以就像再来看看他们。我觉得他们跟以前不一样,我们越来越大,一些朋友有孩子也是越来越忙,但是他们跟以前一样热情。

Mind you, this hasn’t been grammatically checked. xD

No, there are no hidden messages on this post.

I’m just watching Buddha Mountain and it struck me like a bucket of chilly water — Fan Bingbing reminded me of Masami Nagasawa. No? Maybe? A little bit?

I don’t think they’re exactly the same, but they have similarities — though I think Fan Bingbing is EXTRA pale, both of them are whiter than usual. And while I link Masami Nagasawa’s image as a lot more dorky [1] — and not necessarily a favorite in my list of favorites — she seems to be sneaking a lot into my watching list (eg. I just saw her on Kiseki).

Fan Bingbing, she’s been on my radar for a while now… and even though I’ve only seen her in one other project (My Way), a few couple of phothoshoots… I’m beginning to like her a lot more. When watching her on Buddha Mountain, I kept thinking she seems like an uber intense version of Nagasawa. LOL

Remember the days back back in the day when MTV was about music videos, and they had a show called Making Of the video before premiering a music video? Remember when they used to announce music videos and it was important? I miss those days…

And even though these music video directors talk about the big budgets given to only top artists, it feels like it’s been ages since I’ve liked a western mainstream music video. The Rihannas and Britney Spears don’t impress me — though, I gotta admit, I didn’t mind that Katy Perry music video for Wide Awake.

I don’t mind Lady Gaga, but her last couple of MVs have been lost to me.

There are some other music videos that are not so mainstream that have indeed peaked my interest… but I’m taking my eye candy — all of it — from crack Kpop music videos. Because… you know When Kpop Went Beyond American Pop.

The 2NE1s, Big Bangs, and other idol groups with their glossy and marvelous candy music videos infect my eyes and earworm into my brain. It’s hard for Korea to actually put some emphasis into their creatives and they should, so we must work with them on that. Otherwise… how will people know about directors Hwang Soo Ah and Cha Eun Taek?

Your music videos matter, Korea. Pull yourself together!

I had never really noticed how good this song is.

I’m not so sure how well Zhong Ping Huang’s style fits the music video, but I like the song. I’ve heard all of Chou’s discography before, but I don’t recall liking this song. The more you know? xD

Also, I’m so SO happy that his music channel is uploading all this music videos officially. The sad thing is that all those previous views from all those other people will now be gone.

I wonder if one day I will be able to interview Jay hahaha
