I Can See Nothing But You

Zhi Kan Ni...this is a song sang by Arron Yan Ya Lun, once a member of Fahrenheit, a Taiwanese boy group. I know initially this song is meant for lovers, but when I saw thew lyrics I can't help but to think of someone very important to me. Every single words in this song, I can feel it deeply in my heart. It is like it is all words that I can't bring myself to say, a feeling I'm not able to realize or describe, a reason that I find hard to justify. But this song says it all. Please listen to it and I hope just like me, you will have someone to think of too. ^^

Singing your dream in Dream High 2

Do you know the essence of life? One of it is to love and being loved. Another one is to dream and to realize the dream. Everyone has a dream. What make us different are the intensity of the dream, our perseverance to reach that dream and the little luck that help along the way. A dream stays a dream if we don’t have any passion towards it. Some are lucky enough to pave a smooth path towards their dream, some are lost forever and jump to another track. And some others, struggle along the path.
This drama pretty much deals with the latter, representing the struggles of a group of teenagers heading towards their dreams. Its first season, Dream High received a very positive response from K-drama fans and many are anticipating this second season. Being a fan of the first season, I can’t wait to watch this new season, hoping it to be at least as satisfying as the first season. Since they named it Dream High 2, I expected it to be a continuation of the first season and I can’t help myself from hoping that the casts will stay the same. I’m sure that’s what others who have watched the first season thought too. Well, then you’re going to be disappointed with this second season. Except for the Kirin High School of Art which become the main center in this story, this new season has a complete different casts and plots altogether.
This drama revolves around Shin Hye Sung who is so terrible in singing yet have a dream to be an idol. Unlike other Kirin students, Hye Sung entered Kirin High through her high written-exam scores although she scored poorly in performance. Jin Yoo Jin, a troubled student who is talented in composing songs and always do street performances. He dream of becoming a rock star and often seen to despise idols. JB is one of the member of the idol group, Eden who wanted to sing solo instead of taking care of Si Woo the other member who lacks responsibility. Rian is a member of girls idol group Hershe under the same management with Eden. Rian initially wanted to be an actress but had to be an idol following the management request in order for them to help her to act. Due to a new law that forbids underage entertainers from doing performance after 10 pm, the management company transfers their idols to Kirin High. Idols existence in the school create some kind of tension among those who dislike idols such as Yoo Jin and those who admire them such as Hye Sung.
The series started rather clumsily especially in the first four episodes. It’s hard for me to tell at first if this drama centers around Hye Sung or Yoo Jin. The plot keeps changing between characters in a short time, thus it’s hard to feel attach to any single characters at first. It feels as if the first four episodes are wasted just to introduce us to the characters and their early struggles. It’s totally different from the first season in which the characters are all students who have yet to debut and each has their own inner struggles. In this second season, the characters are divided into original Kirin High students (yet to reach their dreams) and idols from an entertainment company (already living in their dreams-partially?). Perhaps I’m still very much attached to the first season that I think I expected too much from this new series. But it doesn’t mean that Dream High 2 is bad overall. I like the twist of how Hye Sung is so bad in singing but eventually we saw her talents in composing song later on which she doesn’t even realize it. It just makes me think that the thing that we like to do sometime is not the same with the thing that we are able to do.
I hope this series will continue to be better in the future episodes. The fact that it has different casts and plots shows it’s freshness. Although we’re all expecting something similar to the first season, come on, it would have been boring if this second season is just a copy of the first. Dream High 2 has its own strength with its own theme and casts line that consist of few trainees that have yet to make their debuts. So enjoy this series! Oh by the way, somehow I think JB is a combination of Jason and Sam Dong from the first season. (^_-)

We Ain't Growing Up Alone

We often make a fuss about how life is so hard and unfair to us. Some of us can’t wait to grow up and become an adult because we thought we could have our own freedom, and some of us didn’t want to grow up and be matured thus we refuse to take many responsibilities that belong to us truly. But we often forget, we’re not the only one walking the journey in this life. Our parents are walking through their stages too. Do we even realize that our parents are growing old? The smile wrinkles that appear on their faces when we went to the university, it was not there yesterday when we had just entered the kindergarten. I hope everyone will treat their parents better and no matter what you went through your life, don’t throw your tantrums towards them. Love them more. Because they still be there when you take off your high school uniform, but who knows if you’re still able to buy them anything with your first salary. So, while they are here, with you, appreciate them a little more, shows your gratitude towards them a little more. Love is senseless without words and words are meaningless without actions. When’s the last time you talked to your parents? I hope you’ll call them and have a nice little talk with them after this. May everyone is blessed with their families. ^0^

Cute. Sweet. What a cutie. Aww...so sweet. Yeah, that's literally what's been on my mind every time I listen to this song and I watch the video. The lyrics are so sweet and the maknaes are just so cuuuteeee...hehe...I know everyone is liking the maknaes line, but I think we should take a note about the other members too. All of them are just awesome. Emm, I like Minwoo personally, but in term of voice I like those of Hyunseung's and Donghyun's. Emm, this is their first single and it's good enough to melt many girls' hearts. But what about their other songs? Let's hope for the best for them. Till then, this is currently my favorite song and my alarm ringtone. Haha...so I wake up every morning listening to Youngmin asking me "Would you be my girlfriend?".
