  • Just a Quick Music Update~

    I just noticed I can direct link to my LivingSocial:Albums on Facebook.
    Babo me~ now if only they would allow embedding…

    LivingSocial Albums

    5 albums in Chinese, and loads of high-rated Asian albums. LOL
    You can fully check it all out here.

  • Chris Lee Sings with “Amor”

    LOL.

    Forgive the cheese. And… Holy mother of #@^#@#&!!?!?

    So many albums, so little time… so little money! xD

    Also, this is a pimp post because it’s worth pimping!

    I found Chris Lee’s newest album (her 4th) self-titled *digital?* album with 10 tracks. One of them (the first track, in fact) it’s called “Amor” xD – it kills me. Anyway… what am I pimping? Well, Chris Lee-dedicated WordPress site~ with everything from songs in Chinese, and translations… and everything Chris Lee/Li Yuchun. Because this “service” is to be admired because fans take the time and work to translate and to bring information updated~ It’s a lot of tough work considering I don’t really know how many non-Chinese speakers fans Li Yuchun has…

    Any Chinese fans of Bibi who want to do it? xD

  • When did this blog turn into…

    an Asian-centric place?

    I seem to complain a lot about the West lately. I dunno if you’ve noticed. I’ve noticed, and my parents have noticed. The four featured articles are Asian topics (kind of, since YAM005 has Yu LOL), I listen to a lot of music from Asia, watch a lot of films from Asia (though I’m also watching Mad Men Season 1 at the moment – actually on Ep08) – Everything seems Asia.

    What the heck.

    Have I opened my eyes to something I had never known before? Oh how I wish I had been so Asian when my grandfather was alive, maybe he would’ve been proud. I’m sure he’d be thrilled I’m all over Chinese music (I still got six albums to listen to xD), and maybe I’d be speaking Chinese by now instead of just fraking around.

    So when did this happen? Why did this happen?

    Is it because American music sucks? Is it because American celebrities suck? Is it because British music sounds the same? Is it because everyone on this side of the world looks and sounds the same? Or am I just tired of hearing how evil China is because that’s what they keep telling me on the papers and online news. Perhaps all the negative propaganda makes me like Asia even more.

    Or is it the Anti-American “ideas” of everything American sucks? Because that’s what people think, right? But I don’t think so, I don’t have a problem with the American people… maybe their music industry, and their movie industry… and their media… or how the media portrays anything. No, scratch all of that. I have a problem with people in general. People suck, and I’ve become very anti-social. I don’t like western media, because that’s what I get to read since it’s all I can understand. I would probably hate other reporters and writers in Asian language if I could properly read what they write. But as it stands, I hate the media I get to hear and read about. The so-called defenders of the truth and objective point of views. I have given up on objectivity on television, but they keep shoving it in my face.

    So yeah, it seems this blog (and YAM for that matter) is turning more and more towards an Asia focus because I’m getting more and more fed up with the West. For anyone else out there who find themselves only focus on Asian (or only Japanese, only Korean, only Chinese) Entertainment, why did it happen? How? When?

  • Top5 Online Time-Wasters

    You fuck around a lot. Don’t lie.
    Checking your e-mail instead of working,
    playing online games…
    I even know people who watched DVDs instead of working on their finals…
    or watched the stream of their favorite Korean variety show/novela~~~

    These are my top5 time wasters… lately.

    Lainey Gossip

    1. Of course it is. Lainey and her wit. Her mom stories crack me up~~~ In the end, I spend far too much time reading this. Oh, Lainey! I had a dream about your blog last night – LOL, I was reading your blog and I saw a post where you said that we should watch (500) Days of Summer together if I was in town. Buahaha, I remember that because I woke up and cursed out loud.

    In it, you’ll read more about Harry Potter 6 (against much of anyone’s Harmonian hearts, lol), Transformers 2, Moon (yeah, that last line kills me), and Public Enemies~ Snap! There’s also DBSK concert review, SNSD (which I always get a typo), Bibi, Seo Taiji, Clazziquai, Popular and more~~~

    Head over here to download~~~

  • Oh, eBooks!

    I think finally someone over at Cnet has caught up with what I’ve been saying…
    tsk tsk…

    the only thing missing is that distributors are probably greedy bastards~
    just saying…

    I would also buy more digital content (eBooks, etc) if it were tagged at $2USD

    Anyway… here are some of my suggestions~

    MP3Sale.ru – price-tagged by song duration.
    MovieBerry.com – with DVD, DivX HQ, DivX and iPod versions.

    any book site suggestion?

    First, Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace) has joined Twilight.
    WHAT??? Geez… I have nothing left to say about this.

    The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has added more titles for this year’s event, including screenings for Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora (with Rachel Weisz), and Natalie Portman’s Love and Other Impossible Pursuits.

    Those are added to the list of Precious, Kore-eda’s Air Doll and Bong Joon-Ho’s Mother, which I mentioned back in this post…

    and finally… I received an email of Sony Pictures announcing Michael Jackson’s “This is It” – the last rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage on HD and digital sound to be released on October 30th.

    won’t post the “press release” because it’s so long, and to be honest – pretty boring to read.

  • Bibi on Rong Chen Blog

    A new interview with Bibi came out… yesterday!
    Or actually… two days ago considering they’re like 14hrs ahead of me~

    Bibi Zhou @ Rong Chen Blog

    Very cute interview, where they look back a bit on her singing…
    Bibi’s mom is also there! And she’s got dimples!!! LOL
    And Bibi doing celebrity impersonations~~~ xD – She is very good, if she weren’t singing, she’ll be doing that, I bet. Also pointing out the difference between herself singing, and doing impersonations.

    Sorry, no subs… but still fun to watch.
