I thought I'd write a closing message for this really amazing year. I certainly had my fair amount of great fangirling memories from 2011 which is worth some resounding kyaaaa's!!! And then I sure managed to tidy up my spazzing frenzies with this new blog. So cheeeeeeerssssss!!!!!
I was going through my posts these past months ... And true enough to the blog title, the ratio of incoherent-spazzes+spazz-worthy-media to actual writing is expectantly but still shamefully huge ㅋㅋㅋ. Ahh, I have indeed lost my ability to express my bliss through words. But yeah, that's exactly the point of this fandom (i think)... creating memories too amazing to fit into just writing.
결국 ... 2011 정말 고마워!!!
Wishing for more awesome fangirling moments in 2012!!! 화이팅!!!
If you think JGS singing is sexy then JGS dancing is JUST !!@?#! Aigooooo ❤❤❤
And it's one of the reasons why Momo is the ultimate sexiest pet EVER!^^
I think the story is kinda cute even though the plot is completely predictable. There is little need for English subs because of this. It has that carefree summer feel to it which makes me wonder if the Korean release wasn't a bit late. I do like how light the mood is so that most of the time, dialogue is almost unnecessary. Well, just any scene of JGS prancing around is satisfying enough that words can be left optional ㅋㅋ!
There are tons of fun scenes that make up for the predictability though~ so it still ends up as thoroughly entertaining as possible. There is no shortage of cutesy physical violence that is almost characteristic of epic Korean love stories. And despite JGS's constant aegyo, he still manages to exude his charismatic manliness which is several notches above his appeal on You're Beautiful (미남이 신에요) and Marry Me, Marry (매리는 외박중). So of course I am biased, but I really can't imagine how anyone can resist JGS's charms~
The VISUAL is also nothing short of DELICIOUS ㅋㅋㅋ … I think that best describes it. And I'm not just talking about JGS's endearing cuteness …
Kyaa, FT Island Leader-sshi!!!!
Despite the sexual innuendos on the posters, the actual movie was just really cute overall. Major whew~
I like re-watching it just for the delightful feel to it … and yeah for the eye candies ㅎㅎㅎ!
❄ 메리 크리스마스!!! ❄
Nothing says Christmas more than sharing love, happiness and immense gratitude.
Infinite thanks for a wonderful day~ and for endless reasons to celebrate...
I wasn't able to resist streaming the clip as soon as it was uploaded into youtube. And I wasn't able to stop replaying it continuously for like 10 times? Yeah, I couldn't get enough of the crazy hip shaking and disco dancing! MING's HIPS WERE TOO MUCH.
These 2 can be sooo greasy~~~ Ming was DRIPPINGLY GREASY when he was free styling with his hip shakes !!! And Wookie, oh dear, did you really have to do that crazy dance!? They can really rival Eunhae even without the ketchup and mustard suits.
Ming obviously loves this song! And Wookie is quite obsessed with the dance. He's lucky to have Suju's STANDARD DANCER teach him the moves. Ming has got the greasiness level by the book!
Aigoooooo, more please?! Please sing Solo live ~~ or Santa, You are the One!!!

I should start a new category for all my sukira spazzing now that Ming and Wook are regular DJ's. I clearly remember that freezing autumn night when they started off as special DJ's last Nov 23... Ahh, I might never stop spazzing if we delve into the details of THAT haha~
So last Dec 15, they had a live performance of지금처럼 during the last 15 minutes of the show. I just saw it now and wow, do I need a ripped audio pretty bad!
지금처럼 originally sang by Donghae and Ryeowook for 괜찮아 아빠 딸 OST is one of those relatively unknown songs which I really really really (as in really) LOVE. I listened to this a LOT after it was released. The lyrics are so crazy nice for me, and the melody makes me cry ... I think I decided to watch the entire drama because I was such a fan of this song haha~
The original song is really good of course but MingWook's version is (obviously) more special for me. MingWook duets are always heart warming ❤. I also love KyuMin and YeMing duets, even HyukMin during variety shows ... but MingWook is kinda different. I think I fall in love with Ming more when he does duets with Wookie. It brings me back to that CLASSIC Just When I Needed You Most duet they did in radio as well.
I like hearing Ming's voice have the deeper, lower and sexier (oops, just my own feel, ok?) tone. And they blend sooooooooo well ~ I just DROWN. ㅠ-ㅠ Then Ming even stood and belted out with all his might, I literally teared aigoo... Ryeowook liked Ming's performance too and praised his "feel". I love you Ryeowookie! I couldn't agree with you more and your words really made Ming feel good. DUET!!!! Yeah, that's me wishing they would do more of that in next bora episodes...
지금처럼-슈퍼주니어(동해 & 려욱)
괜찮아질 거라고 난 잠시뿐 일거라고 난
시간이 지나면 무뎌질 거라고 그렇게 믿고 난 살아왔는데
가끔은 서툰 표현에 그대를 아프게 했던 나의 그 모습들
이제는 조금씩 달라질 거라 약속해요
차갑던 밤도 외롭던 밤도 언제나 내 곁에 있었는데 그댄 어디에
그대만 바라볼 수 있도록, 그대만 사랑할 수 있도록
내 맘이 오직 너에게 오직 널 향해 뛰고 있는걸, 숨을 쉬는걸
나를 바라본다면 그대만 나를 사랑한다면 이 세상 무엇과도 널 바꿀 수 없어
지금 이렇게 내 품에 있어줘
언제나 그렇게만 그렇게만 있어줘 이렇게 사랑이라 사랑이라 말하고
언제나 그렇게만 그렇게만 웃어줘 이렇게 행복이라 행복이라 말하고
차갑던 밤도 외롭던 밤도 언제나 내 곁에 있었는데 그댄 어디에
그대만 바라볼 수 있도록, 그대만 사랑할 수 있도록
내 맘이 오직 너에게 오직 널 향해 뛰고 있는걸, 숨을 쉬는걸
나를 바라본다면 그대만 나를 사랑한다면 이 세상 무엇과도 널 바꿀 수 없어
지금 이렇게 내 품에 있어줘
때론 힘들고 가끔씩 지칠 땐 눈물 흘리며 떠올리던 네 모습 woo
이제야 알아요 내게 보여준 사랑을 woo
나를 바라본다면 그대만 나를 사랑한다면 이 세상 무엇과도 널 바꿀 수 없어
지금 이렇게 내 품에 있어줘
Love Love Love, Love Love Love
이제는 그대를 내가 더 그대를 I'm gonna love you 언제나 지금처럼
I have to be an absolute fangirl even at the Seoul Global Culture & Tourism Center ㅋㅋㅋ!
I was looking forward to the free postcard event although I expected the idol postcards to be gone already. Suju's postcard was released for the Seoul Summer Sale and it was already Autumn when we visited~ So I was almost certain I wouldn't find a trace of those postcards by then.
Surely, there were none on display on the Seoul Global Culture & Tourism Center in Myeongdong. The postcards available were really pretty though so I initially took a few and was planning to send them out already. Good thing I had the inkling to ask the staff about the SJ postcards ... They found me some tourist packages from last summer and they had the SJ and 2pm postcards below~
캬야야야야야야야야야!!!! MV is deliriously cute!!!!!!
♪♫ There's no one like you... Santa, You are the One! ♪♫
I've always been a huge fan of SMTown Winter releases ~ with Snow Dream and Tic Toc topping my all time favorite list. Then of course there's Show Me Your Love and First Snow ... yay! And yes, everything came before 2008. SM, it's been that long~
But it's sooooo worth the wait.
All the members look amazing in the Santa You are the One MV!
AND THEY SOUND SOOOOOO GOOOOD.
I don't know if this is just me being completely biased~
But my heart is melting and that gives me a free pass for extreme spazzing!
I'm sooooooo proud of Ming! He delivered his English lines so well and my heart is just too overwhelmed.
♪♫ How do you reach us all? It's for sure ... ♪♫
Ah, seriously there must be something about this season that makes Ming so irresistibly cute! It seems like he just decided to give up the manly concept and just surrendered to his inevitably aegyo self ... and oooooh, I am soooo loving it!
All the other members were being decidedly charming, funny and swoon-worthy as well. Standing ovation for Teuk's high notes!!!! We also have that lovable sprinkling of suju engrish which might be a acquired taste for some ... but yeah, I thought suju rocked it. They totally have the personalities to carry those minor imperfections.
The song lyrics talk about Santa but I sure find the descriptions to be applicable to suju too~
♪♫ Soon you'll be on your way
Spreading joy everywhere
There's no one like YOU~ ♪♫
SM has not failed to be the focal point of my budget allocations for this year. And although I did give myself a pat on the back for not splurging on SPAO and Everysing (unlike 2010), the concert official merchandise and the Myeongdong underground shops still weighed down both on my credit card and on my luggage!
So my 2011 haul starts off with some free cards given while waiting in line on concert day 1. I didn't get a lot of Sungmin's this time ... but no complaints since everything is free! Receiving these makes lining up for HOURS really worthwhile.
And then ofcourse, official concert merchandise is ❤. 진짜 진짜. It makes me happy to share them with really special friends. Yeah, you know my heart goes with gifts like these^^.
Sidetracked: Also wanted to mention how thankful we were for the Malaysian girls we met while lining up for the goods. I wish we took some pics of how delighted we were to feast on the chocolates they gave us. Arina (Yesung-biased), our WARMEST THANKS! Hope to meet you again someday!
How surprising was it that I only went into SPAO twice, and Everysing once during this trip? My fangirl senses were probably numbed by the cold~ In any case, I came out only with SPAO pics (because I was too obedient with the no-cam rule in Everysing) and another notebook ... (my friend knows why I bought this notebook)
A trip to the Myeongdong underground shops was a major MUST. We went there twice and on both occasions, we stayed there longer than appropriate while I had a mental battle with my fear of excess baggage and my cash resources nearing extinction. Let's say it was draw since I walked away with photobooks, a lightstick, and some presents while I had to let go of a T-money card, a calendar and more photobooks ...
Two photobooks which you CANNOT flip through in silence ... else you die.
Lastly, this album is almost a REQUIREMENT before leaving Seoul:
Bought from Hottracks~ yay, GDA!
In retrospect, I managed to resist a lot of potent fangirl temptations including magazines, more mugs, more clear file cases, the sapphire blue balloons I caught from ss4 day 2, and that uber expensive throw pillow case from Everysing! And yet, I am still pretty satisfied with my loot ... Now if the beautiful music boxes in Insadong will start to include Suju songs (cos they have DBSK), then I will be just floored.
