SUMMER

IS FINALLY HERE. Just 2 more things: report card and a summer research program thing. I'm interning at the vet med school on campus for a month and I have to discover a DNA primer for ringworms. I'm not even sure what that means.

And there are supposed to be like 12 more girl groups debuting this year in kpop?? Holy crap. I just hope they get better.

Babies and beast

I saw a bunch of different baby animals out during lunch today. Ok maybe not a lot but 2. The baby goose looked like such a fail. He's not black at all. :P And then there were baby bunnies! They're probably newly born since their eyes hadn't quite opened yet. And one pooped on my hand ugh.

B2st's new song "Fiction" is one of the best title tracks I've heard so far this year. And the mv for it was awesome. The guy totally disintegrates at the end.

Finals next week! Gahh! Only 5 finals this semester instead of 6, but the chem final got replaced with 3 ridiculous projects where he gives us a substance and four possible identities and tells us to use whatever methods we can to identify it. Honestly, I think his projects took longer than the actual final would have. I spent almost no time for the chem final last year but I've spent at least 5 hours on those projects this semester. Fail. And I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up getting lower grades on the projects than I did on the final. He's picky as Hell-o Kitty.

AsAm Heritage Month

Happy Asian American Heritage Month! Our Asian Media Club made a poster ft. some famous twinkies and Asians of influence here in the Western hemisphere. You can't really see but there's Jay Park, Amber, Jessica, Wang Leehom, Jackie Chan AKA The Chan Chan Man, Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi, WongFu, Nigahiga, and of course Kevjumba. Did you know Kevjumba is Taiwanese? I always thought he was mainland. Then again I saw it on Wikipedia. But I use Wiki for most of my research papers so it's probably right hehe..

Chinese restaurants..

The food? Pretty good. I mean the non-Americanized kind anyway. But the sanitation? Blechhhhh. And they always look so messy. What on earth is up with that? I went to what is supposed to be the best Chinese restaurant in our town so there was obviously going to be a lot of people. Well I didn't expect to wait an hour and a half for my food. And you know what? It wasn't even that good. I ordered a bamboo shoot and shredded pork and the bamboo smelled really bad. I think it was because it was canned, but whatever. The point is, it wasn't good. Plus, there were no straws so I had to drink water directly out of the cup. It probably isn't that big of a deal for other people, but I hate using utensils and whatnot other people have used. Yep, an hour and a half wasted. So that was pretty much my Sunday morning.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is on Sunday. O_o Had to get her something since I did like nothing for her birthday last year. Although I have no card because the only way I could get her something without her knowing is if I go the college bookstore on campus, which surprisingly, doesn't sell Mother's Day cards. Anyways I got her a coffee mug even though she already has three but hers are all solid colored and not very exciting. Sooo I got her a very up-beat (are coffee mugs up-beat?) one that's quite spring-y and perfect for the season. And she likes bright colors too. The only problem is it might be too bright for a middle-aged woman...? Idk I'm not good at buying gifts. Plus the cashier didn't give me a receipt and I forgot to ask for one so I can't even return it.

Oh and there are a bunch of marks on the outside. I'm not sure if they're stains or scratches.. Oh well gotta do some insane cleaning on that mug anyway. Can't just drink from anything you buy in stores.

GKING

Just a few awesome shots of Guo Ziyu I wanna archive.

Time top 100

I saw the Time 100 Poll and guess what I'm sensinggg? AZN DOMINAZN. Rain is number one, followed by Jay Chou, and they both beat Lady Gaga was is ranked number 12. The Fukushima Power Plant workers is 15 and Han Han is 18. Han Han is a racecar driver slash author slash blogger. Ambitious kid. The best part of the poll is the Chinese president is ranked 28 and the American 46. Hmm..

Check out the poll: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2058044_2061021_2061023,00.html

Google Global Science Fair

Ughh. It's like ExploraVision all over again. I thought it would be really simple once we collected all of our data, but I didn't realize it would this complicated to sort all of it and make it make sense to the judges. We're testing people's hearing thresholds and trying to determine a relationship between iPod volumes, daily length of iPod usage, and hearing sensitivity. Sounds easy right? Yeah, not really. There are a bunch of other factors like what types of earphones/headphones the subjects use, whether or not they're noise-canceling, whether or not the subjects participate in loud activities, whether or not they use ear protection when they're participating in these activities... I'm gonna go crazy. Oh well. Nighty night.

Someone needs a new stylist..

Remember how much I hated Top Combine's stylist? How s/he made them look like Chinese-ified DBSK? This time, s/he has gone too far. For one thing, the brilliant composer/violinist Mars looks like a Japanese druggie. Wow that sounded kind of racist. I mean he looks Japanese and like a druggie. Nothing wrong with Japanese, but they're one of the first best Chinese bands, can't they look more Chinese? Bird and Kenny have pretty much the same haircuts, and maybe Xiao Wu but I can't really tell because it's always spiked up. The style looks fine on Kenny because it's similar to what he had before, but on Bird.. I don't know, it just doesn't look shun you know? I can't find the English term for it right now; I guess it just doesn't feel right. He doesn't look too bad when his hair is gelled though. Kenny just looks more like a girl, but he looks cute as a girl so I won't complain +] Caesar looks like he has too much hair. I mean, he already has a lot of hair (I think), and now it's all piled up on 3/4 of his head 'cause it's blown to one side or something. Either way, it looks kind of strange. Although he wore a giant headband (which btw not everyone can pull off but he did, somehow) at this one fan meeting and that went pretty well with his outfit. The only makeover I actually approve of his Xiao Wu's. It's drastically different from his cutesy boy image, but... well to put it simply--he looks really hot. It has a reddish tint and kind of a mohawk. It's sort of like G-Dragon's hair during their "Lies" days. And to top it off Xiao Wu has a giant spike through his ear.

Without further ado, Top Combine!

Mars

Bird

Lol they look like mug shots:

Rookie Updates

Rookie bands releasing new albums through Feb and March +]

First up, Dalmatiann. I wasn't a huge fan of their debut single, "Round 1", but their new album is really good. In my opinion anyway. It's diverse and at first, none of the songs sound too bad. Then they grow on you, kind of like SHINee. Pretty soon you get addicted to them. The two songs they were promoting were "That Man Disapproves" and "Lover Cop".

That Man Disapproves:


Lover Cop:


I'm not sure why, but I like "That Man Disapproves" better. But then again, I haven't really listened to "Lover Cop" that much. First time seeing blue hair in kpop. You get a lot of blondes, maybe a few oranges or reds, but not really blue. I think there should be more blue hair, it looks awesome.

The song I really like (which, unfortunately, is not a promotion song) is "Lost in Love". Overall, Dalmation seems to be a promising boyband. Even through the autotune, you can tell that their rapper is legit and their vocals are pretty strong. Especially the beginning of "Lost in Love" and the wailing part in "That Man Disapproves".

Lost in Love:


Next, Infinite is back with a third singles album, "Inspirit". Their MV for "Nothing's Over" was released yesterday. It's a pretty upbeat song.



Finally, ZE:A. Their title track is "Here I Am", with a bright preppy-boy theme and lots of colorful clothes and skinny jeans and dolls and flowers. This is some kind of new trend in kpop boybands. "That Man Disapproves" is very similar if you compare the two side by side.



These other two songs are kind of growing on me. They have strong beats and are really catchy.
