2011 is a year where I achieved so much and yet cried so much. I cried like I've never cried in my whole adult life. In one day, the world just crumbled before my eyes.

• Marathon of so many shows <3
• Bonding with the cousins :D

I've more or less fulfilled last year's resolutions~ (Although I think I've gained back that 10 pounds I've lost D: )

This year's resolutions:

• Lose 20 pounds in 2012.
• Create a diet plan for the whole year. Go to the gym if you have time and money.
• Study harder.
• Read more, watch more, less stress.
• Get ear piercings? ...maybe not.

Yeah, I think that's doable. And with that

   HAPPY 2012 EVERYONE♥

Day 9: Your favorite k-pop performance




Day 10: A k-pop dance you’d like to learn

There are too many, but probably Miss A's Bad Girl Good Girl? HAHAHA

---

Yesterday, I did nothing but EAT and now my tummy is hurting ;o; Also, I went to UP to get my clearance and TOR but I left my receipt at home. I need to return on Monday. :< Oh well.

Nothing much is happening in my life recently. I just laze around the house watching reruns of Criminal Minds and Bones and what not on FOX. I think I might start watching White Collar too.

Day 7: A k-pop song that makes you cry
Day 8: A k-pop song you know all the words to

Day 7.
Unfortunately, my answer is NONE. A lot of friends have described me as cold-hearted, but really, I don't cry very easily. (Tip: When I say that I'm crying right now, it means I'm tearing up. Yeah, I've never had a moment where I cried buckets over a movie.)

Day 8.
Strangely, it's TVXQ's One. If you asked me this back when I was still crazy over Kpop, I would've been able to list a lot here. Unfortunately, now I can only say one song.

---

Today, my self-esteem is broken.

Early in the morning, I tutored a grade 5 kid and I forgot how the difference of LCM and GCF. Also, I forgot how to write, for example, 4000 in Roman numerals.

Also,

I had driving lessons in October. Because I'm scared of driving (and my dad's busy) I never touched a car again until today. I almost crashed into another car. (Plus I got a serious scolding from my dad. C'mon, I havne't held the steering wheel in 6 months!)

---

when I was ten, a dark spot appeared on my leg. I thought it was a mole. But then, it became thicker. Still thought it was a mole. It was flaking off. I thought something was up, asked my mom. She said it might be a mole.

Ten years into the future, I had it checked. It's not a mole, but just an epidermal thickening. After ten years, I finally had it removed (because it was continuing to grow). It'd be strange not to see it on my leg now.

---

Saw a good friend today. I haven't seen her in a long time. Had a great time chatting, especially about books <3

---

Anyway, Dad says I have to practice driving again tomorrow :

The first rain shower of May! ♥ I haven't seen that much rain in a while, and I haven't heard the thunder in a very long time. It was nice to see rain again. :D

( Day 6: Your favorite song from your favorite girl group )

Today, my two nephews came over and omg the house turned upside down. It wasn't even 12NN and I was soooo very tired. When I have kids of my own, I'll make sure to give an allowance of a few years in between children -____-

Also, Jerry Yan, bakit nakakakilig ka? Haha Still watching Down with Love :P

Day 5: Your favorite k-pop song from your favorite guy group

Wow. This is so difficult to answer O:

It's probably 넌 나의 노래 (You're My Song) from TVXQ's Mirotic album.


and BEAST's digital single Easy - Sincere Ver. -


---

I almost forgot about this lol. 

I'm rewatching One Pound Gospel. Kame is so good in it! <3 

---

This meme. It's a good thing there's only one girl group in my heart. BEAST and TVXQ, I love them both so much. I think liking both is valid since they're from different generations of idols ;) TVXQ debuted 2003 while BEAST debuted 2009. Both of these are ballads, btw. I just love ballads.

Day 3: Your ultimate k-pop girl bias

( It's all the rage in Yoochiri, Hara Goo )

---

Okay. I've been pretty much stuck at home. 

For those who don't know yet, I have my driver's license! Yey! Also, I've broken my oath of never drinking alcohol. I sipped one at Leni's party. TBH, I'd rather not try again. blegh.

Anyhow, Master of Science in Biology. That's what I'm going to enter come June. (Unless something happens, i.e. I fail) For the past four years, I've been determined to enter the MS program. Now that it's right in front of me, I'm nervous and excited. I'm currently torn between Dev Bio and Physio but now, I'm leaning towards Physio more. It's a great comfort though, that whatever happens, the two fields are close to each other. I'm a bit troubled about the placement exam. I need to review. *coughcellbiocoughgenetics*

( Rocking what's real le couteur ) ( Big Star Space Hero )

Missed Day 2 because I went to 2AM's Meet and Greet. They sand only two songs, but that's enough for me. Changmin's live is really awesome! Kwon is good too. Jinwoon was smiling while singing XD Seulong was stoic. During signing though, Kwon and Ong were the friendliest~ Jinwoon just signed, and Changmin was talking to an assistant then </3 Changmin ;o;

tbh, organizers did badly. It wasn't a Meet and Greet. It was look-at-2AM-while-they-were-signing-your-CD-within-one-second event. the BEAST fansigning was much better. but idk, I was there to hear them sing anyway ♥

Pictures later.

At least, I'm thinking of doing so. (Don't get me wrong, I'll continue stanning TVXQ, KARA, and BEAST but I'll probably stop listening to new groups but idk why these agencies keep on releasing more groups :|) Anyway, I've completely segued. Before I say "goodbye" to Kpop, let me do this 30-day meme (so I'd have time to change my mind) because I'm bored.
( My Boy Group Bias )

Anyhow, about RL stuff: thesis + grad + other shiz, I'll update when I have more time (i.e. when I'm more bored.) Also, today KARA's crisis is overrrrrr <3

TTYL F-LIST. Going to be sick of me over the next month :3

 For the past few years, I always post on KAT-TUN's anniversary. (Maybe I should start a TVXQ, B2ST, and KARA one soon.) So even if it's 11:43PM, with a report on Korean10 that I have to finish soon, I'm writing this post.

To KAT-TUN,

The past year has been crazy. So many things have happened to you. Jin decided to have a separate tour and in the end, left the group. I'm sure it was a scary time for you. After all, how would the fans react? I'm not going to lie that I felt betrayed, even when I was expecting it. But I admire you all for standing back up. Even if your singles aren't selling as well as they used to, I'm glad you guys aren't giving up. It's your 5th anniversary. Don't let the past get on you. Start from scratch and show everyone why KAT-TUN became number 1 in the first place.

Love,
Me.
