To search for one's true love,
you must first find your true self.
Don't just love yourself, though.
Love the people around you who truly care for you.
为了寻找自己的真爱，
你必须先找到你真正的自我。
不只是爱自己，虽然。
爱你周围的人谁真正关心你。
My Prince, please find me... 我的王子，请找我...
My name is Xiao Yu Di. I love Pochacco, Mangas, Reading, Cup O Noodle, Ramen, Muffins, Performing, Internet, Writing, Sleep, and one
particular guy.
我的名字是小雨滴。 我爱PC狗，曼加斯，读，杯Ø面，拉面，松饼，表演，上网，写作，睡眠，和一个特别的人。
Someone who likes to sing, shine, and at times shy;
Someone who's not afraid to show a lot of emotion;
Someone who's a few years older than me.
I'd date someone who isn't that tall,
but isn't that short (for me) either;
Someone who is average,
Someone who loves to write lyrics, watching movies, and learn Chinese
(I'm not Chinese either, but I'm learning).
Last off, I'll love a guy who has nice skinship,
who's not afraid to be a little bit bad sometimes, ;-)
and who's willing to spend time with an average girl...
*SM娱乐 Incorporation in America; lobby outside an audition area*
The 闪亮 members tried to relax, but were dubious about Nikka's audition to the SM娱乐. Right at the moment, Kim Jong and Bryant arrived in America already. They were both involved in their own worlds, unknown to the situatiuon involved. Bryant searched the internet in his laptop for more information about the college to where he's currently going to. Jong devoted his entire self into a sit-and-think pose, holding a pen and a song journal in both of his hands. Tommy sat between them, bending forward, and fumbled around with his hands. Meanwhile, Key paced back and forth, mumbling to himself worries about what would happen to their image if Nikka didn't make it. After all, all of Key's rambling about the situation traveled from the newspapers to netizens everywhere. Onew walked up to the 4 bandmates, holding 2 bags of water bottles and snacks from the nearby bakery. He tossed each snack to each member, then gave them the whole bag of water bottles. Then, he stopped Key from his pacing. Onew: "Here, (holding out bread in front of Key's face) have some. You looked stressed."
Key: (takes the bread & pouts) "I can't help it, okay? It's just that what if she doesn't do well? I've never even seen her dance."
Tommy: "Neither do I."
Onew: "Really? I've seen her dance."
Both Key and Tommy looked directly at Onew.
Key: "That's impossible! Everytime Tommy and I tried watching her practice, she locks us out of her personal life."
Onew: .............."Oh."
Onew started to remember 3 weeks ago when he met Nikka. Or rather, how he met her. Key and Tommy suspected his silent and suspectful image, and Bryant & Jong picked it up. So did Onew. Smiling nervously, he slowly backed up away from the group, but they all just ended up advancing towards him.
I probably should've told them that I met her 4 1/2 hours before I met up with them here.
But, I'd have to tell them that I caught an earlier flight, and I really don't want to end up mentioning the incident with her -
Bryant backs Onew up to a wall and looks intently at his face.
Bryant: "Onew-hyung, can you explain the look on your face after Key-hyung asked you about a girl?"
Onew: "Umm..................."
high-pitched voice: "I GOT IN!!!"
Everyone looked behind them as they saw an excited boy with cornrows underneath his hat jumping up, down, and around the front of the audition room doors.
Jong: "Who's that?"
Key: "......I think that's Nikka....!"
Bryant: "You mean the girl you were talking about in the tabloids?"
Both Onew & Key nodded. Bryant & Jong looked at each other, then back to the squealing, cross-dressing girl jumping into Tommy's arms.
........I would've thought she was a boy rather than a girl.....
........................................
A few minutes later, all 6 companions rode in a van to 阿蒂西亚 City. Bryant glanced at the window, then noticed a sign that says:
Welcome to 阿蒂西亚 City
Bryant: "Hey, I thought we were going to 诺沃克 City."
Tommy: "Because of Key, Nikka and I had to move to another school in another city."
Key: "HEY! Be careful what you say, or I won't cook for you!"
Bryant: "You mean like the eel salad you tried to feed us?"
Everyone started making sickly noises, and Key got really angry. Between those 3 weeks of changing schools and separate dance practices, Key made Tommy & Nikka eat his homemade eel salad and claimed that he also gave it to the rest of the bandmates back home in Korea. Oh, how bad they were.
Jong: "I kept using the restroom every 5 minutes!"
Bryant: "I had to go to other people's houses and asked politely to use their restroom."
Onew: "I almost used the restroom right on the spot when I was eating it."
Everyone laughed at Onew's conditioned speech.
Jong: "Well, anyways, welcome to the world of entertainment. (extends his hand out) My name is Kim Jong."
Nikka: (shaking his hand) "The name's Nikka." (smiles politely)
Key: "No, no, no." (shook his head) "You need a stage name. For future Korean and Chinese fans out there."
Nikka: "Chinese?"
Key: "You're speaking the language right now! Didn't you speak it when you got into the audition room?"
Nikka: "Well, yeah, and also a little bit of English."
Tommy: "Then, the company will assign you to Chinese music, along with Korean songs, since you're with us."
Bryant: "That's right, you can probably be featured in a few of our songs."
While everyone else was deciding on a stage name for Nikka, Jong moved closer to her.
Jong: "So, aren't your parents worried about you right now? Do they know you auditioned?"
Nikka: "Well, yeah, they pretty much learned a little bit about what happened to me at my earlier school, so they were all right with what I'm about to do right now."
Jong: "Alright then, that's pretty cool."
Nikka: "...what do you think my name should be?"
Jong: "Eh?.....Ummmm...."
Jong listened to everyone else's ideas quickly. All he heard were things like; "sister", "music notes", "deeper meanings", "talented", "I'm hungry for chicken," and "parodies". He looked at Nikka afterwords.
Jong: "Do you have a sister?"
Nikka: "Well, yeah, a younger one. Why?"
Jong: "Does she listen to the same music as you?"
Nikka: "Yeah, actually, she's the reason why I listen to the music I sort of listen to nowadays."
Jong: "Is she talented like you?"
Nikka: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Everything that she does musically is because of what I usually do."
Jong: "Okay, then how about you 2 form a group, since there's usually no solo artists selling as much as group artists nowadays."
Bryant heard Jong's statement and started to look his way.
Jong: "You could be called Melody, since we saw you first, and she could be called Parody. You guys can be MelodyParody."
Bryant: "Or ParodyMelody for P.M."
Jong: "Yeah! Your first album could be called Afternoon Delight or something. Thanks, Bryant." (high fives him)
Key, Onew, and Tommy overheard their conversation.
Key: "You know, that doesn't sound bad."
Onew: "Yeah, that sounds pretty cool."
Tommy: "All we have to do is meet your sister, and ask her to audition to perform with you."
Bryant: "What's your sister's name?"
Nikka: "Her name is Konini, but I don't know if she really wants to perform with me...."
During 2010 of February, I signed up for a extra credit activity from my French 2 teacher. Who would've thought she meant the Salsa Club performing for spirit week. It was on a Hat Day. Yes, a Hat Day. Everyone thought my legs looked sexy with the black tights, but those tights were too small for me. While we were dancing on the quad stage, I felt my tights going down quickly, but you can't tell from the dress I'm wearing. We did all right, but I wasn't satisfied with my own part of the performance. At least I got the full 100 extra credit points for my grade. I ended up with an A in that class. :-) Every single day the question's been aired into my head:
Korean Pop versus Mandarin Chinese Pop?
I think both are all right, because Korean Pop gives you these dance moves that are cool to incorporate into your own creativity when it comes to dancing.
Mandarin Chinese Pop gives you this happy feeling like you can sing along and feel like a star.
If I would ever have to perform as a permanent national singer, I wouldn't.
Because I feel conversing into different cultures internationally is a good thing to broaden your horizons and point of view.
Even though it's just music, I'm seriously going to give this a tie.
I've heard that George Lopez has another show.
Man, that guy can be pretty funny.
He has a talkshow called Lopez Tonight during weeknights.
Please support this funny man. Hahaha.
When February passes by, it feels as if there wasn't a month to begin with.
A month of romance just passes by as if it didn't exist.
Well, not for me.
I'm still single, but not desperate, and that's how I still stay standing, never having my lips touch another person's...
Oh! I forgot!
I'm taking 2 exams this June!
Yup, yup, I have to take the SAT exam at NL High School and the next week ACT at another LA High School.
Throughout our hard work and efforts into extra practices, especially since we have newcomers here, our JG High School Drumline got 1st place in Division A! Yay! :-D I feel so happy! I feel so proud of my school! This year has been very special to me so far. I've finally gained a few more friends, and one who's very special to me. Although my GPA has decreased and have gone from a 3.5 to a 3.3, I'm still content because I just need to stay at the top 20 of my 2011 class. Plus, it turns out you don't need a really, really high GPA to get into a lot of universities. Nowadays, you need at least a 3.0 with honors and a list of activities you've participated during your high school life. If you have a 4.1 GPA but no activities, not that many colleges might let you in. If you do have that GPA and a lot of activities, then more praise to you. As for me, I'm thinking of enlisting into 4 or 5 universities. I want to major in music, and play what I'm good at - violin, vocals, dance (maybe), and mallets. There may be some foreign exchange programs, so I want to do that over the summer during my college years. Throughout it, maybe I could try getting into the "Asian" entertainment industry, like in Taiwan or in Korea. I want to become a singer, an actress, and a dancer. I also wish to perform beside SHINee, if I ever get the chance to practice dance choreography and whatnot. I think the first people I should meet in the entertainment industry are Fahrenheit, Danson Tang, and maybe others that I recognize on the internet. I know this may sound like a silly dream, but I can't help how I feel. This is my final ambition, and I wish to go along with it. I hope people would support me in the future, for I've morally supported other artists and actors in the entertainment industry. I've just finished reading Full Moon O Sagashite about a week ago. I believe the same dream which Mitsuki possesses. You can't help but think this is a great manga for inspired artists everywhere. Also, I've finished Beauty Pop. There's morals in it, too, but also a lot of comedy! Haha. If I could remember correctly, I think I've also finished Fruits Basket. That was the highlight of my sophomore and half my junior year. And if I could remember correctly, I think I've also read the manga series since my freshman year. So basically, I've lived my whole high school life based on Fruits Basket? Sweet. So is the story, if anyone has never heard of Fruits Basket and wishes to watch or read it.
The next 2 days weren't easy for Tommy and Nikka. In the morning, Nikka tried meeting up with Tommy at the local city bus stop to school, but a pretty, snobby girl in uniform kept standing right inbetween them. No matter where those 2 students were at, that girl would always walk along between them. All the boys in high school stared at her, while all the girls got jealous and admired her beauty at the same time. The strange girl just acted like she knew she's hot. That snobby girl - that was Key. Think of the embarrassment that Tommy and Nikka had to go through because of Key:
By the 3rd day of school with Key, one of the teachers on the campus realized there was an unfamiliar face who's been following 2 girls. The teacher checked into the foreign exchange program file, and found out that the girl (Key) does not belong in their school. Resulting into:
The hassle of forcing Key to leave the school. When he refused, the teacher, along with the security staff, used physical force. Key's wig accidentally fell, exposing his total identity towards all the girls in school. That led to:
The discussion from all the girls. "Hey, I know him!" "Yeah! That's Key from 闪亮 " "What's he doing here?" "Eh, that would mean - that girl! She's no foreign exchange student!" "That's not even a girl!" "It's Tommy!" "KKYYAAHHH!!!!!" Which led to the obvious:
Antifans. "What's he doing with her?" "I bet she thought Tommy was a girl, that lesbian." "Look at her clothes..psst.." "HAHA!" "She's probably on his good side to get money." "That gold-digger!" "There's no way they'll ever be together." The obvious lampoons and their bitch-talk.
When Key heard all this, he stopped struggling with the security guards. In fact, he was pissed off that those girls could say such horrible things to one girl as a target.
"HEY! WHY ARE YOU BEING SO MEAN AND RUDE?! AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR TEACHER!"
Viva: "Who cares what the teacher thinks of us?"
Grace: "Yeah, it's not like anyone cares about that girl. If she disappears, we wouldn't notice."
That had to hurt Nikka. After all those years of being picked on by Grace, she faithfully stuck by her no matter what. But this tore her heart in two. Nikka ran off, leaving Tommy and Key behind with baffled security guards, an angry teacher, and an even more angry principal.
About a week later around noon, Onew arrived at 诺沃克 City. Since he caught an earlier flight, he began to think childish thoughts.
I think I should buy souvenirs early. Besides, Key and Tommy won't know I'm here until 5 hours later.
With plenty of money left from the bank at the airport and the transit bus ride over to 诺沃克 City, Onew took off on another transit bus and traveled as far as where the nearest bicycle store was. There, he got off the bus and bought a brand new bike. Using his very own bike, he rode onto the sidewalk until he passed by an open alley. That's when he heard a strange, familiar beat. He backed up to the open alley and saw the strangest sight. A boy dressed up like a b-boy, trying to incorporate his own moves onto the song, Xiahtic.
Hey, that song has Key featuring in it. Wow, Koreans must be getting more popular in the U.S.
Onew searched for where the music was originally coming from. He found a boombox on the ground behind the b-boy and stopped the music. Puzzled, the chubby b-boy turned around and spotted Onew trying to change the song.
Onew: (speaking in the best English he can) "Hey, boy, is this a mixtape or something? I keep selecting different tracks and there's different artists popping up."
B-boy: "...........yeah, I burned different songs I like."
Onew: (waiting until the song finally played) "Yes! This song will do."
The song was Boys & Girls. The b-boy watched as Onew stood at a position, was about to move, then paused. All of a sudden, it looked like he got an electric shock out of nowhere.
B-boy: (rushed over) "You alright?!"
Onew: (standing stiff quickly) "I'm alright. I just don't know what kind of dance to make up like you did."
B-boy: (blushed) "I don't dance that well..."
Onew: "You were alright, just need a bit of practice is all."
He started twitching and standing stiff again. The b-boy laughed at him, shook his head, then stood next to him. He started to dance, and as Onew watched him, he became envious of the boy's creativity.
Onew: "Wait!"
He quickly ran to the boombox and started the song over again. Then, he quickly stood next to the b-boy. The boy danced when the girl was singing as Onew was dancing to when Key's part in the song came up. After that, they started dancing together at the refrain until the end. The whole time dancing, Onew started thinking:
I'll make Key proud by helping this boy create a girl dance for him[Key].
Towards the end of the song, Onew accidentally spun, tripping over his sneakers and falling on top of the boy. That was when the boy was spinning, too, and got his ankle sprained beause of that fall.
Take note that Onew was leaning his hands innocently on the boy's chest as he was trying to stand up. Also, the boy's hat was knocked off from the fall, spilling shiny, light brown, long hair everywhere from the roots of the boy's scalp. Most importantly, the hair did not convince Onew that this "b-boy" is in fact, a girl.
. . .
They were both in shock for the longest 10 seconds being frozen. A sharp reflection light from a car driving by was what made them blink, coming back to their senses, and pushed themselves off each other.
Onew: "...I-I-I'm sorry....I didn't mean to -"
'B-boy': "No, I'm sorry..."
Without a moment to think, the girl quickly stood up and sprinted away from Onew, but fell forward instantly to the ground. Onew runs to the girl and tries to pick her up and back on her feet. He could tell right away why she just fell in an instant.
Onew: "You sprained your ankle!"
'B-boy': "I-It's nothing..."
Onew: "Nothing?!"
Without thinking about the situation, Onew carries the girl and puts her on his bicycle.
'B-boy': "?!?!"
Onew: "Just tell me later where you live, and I'll take you there, okay?"
A half hour later, the puzzled girl gets more puzzled as she holds onto Onew's waist. Onew is pedaling the bicycle, with the girl sitting behind him. He hung her hat onto one of the handlebars and had the boombox in front of him inside a basket.
Onew: "Does your parents know you went out like this?"
'B-boy': "I told them I went to Salsa practice for school."
Onew: "I take it you haven't been to school lately, huh?"
'B-boy': "......for about a week..."
Onew: "Eh?! Why?"
'B-boy': "You'll see once we pass by that newspaper stand."
Onew: "Huh?"
Onew stops pedaling in front of a newspaper stand. He's trying to look for what the girl meant, but she already pointed towards a Korean entertainment newspaper. He reads it, then gets what she meant.
Onew: "Is this you the article's talking about?"
The girl nods, then Onew starts reading the front article again.
Antifans Create Lampoon Scandal Stories
Girls at a local high school bash a female student for dressing up in her "own style" of clothing, which consists of male attire, and for trying to seduce an idol for money. The idol turned out to be Tommy from the dance group 闪亮. One of the bashers was the female student's "supposed" best friend. Key and Tommy were furious with the reaction that they caught in the public school, despite of Key's disturbing distraction on campus. This female student, along with the members of 闪亮, left school campus and never returned. As Key left the place, he kept boasting, "She's already trying out for the SM娱乐 audition! Why would she need to seduce our young Tommy?!"
Onew: (baffled) "Oh... is that why you've been practicing to dance?"
'B-boy': "Yeah, because of him, I have to audition now."
Onew: "Well, I just know you'll make it if you have a positive attitude. Smile for once."
The girl started chuckling as Onew attempted to make her smile.
Onew: "As an early greeting, my name is Onew from 闪亮."
'B-boy': "Oh, really?!"
Onew: "Yes, and I'm guessing you already met my other 2 bandmates. What's your name, by the way?"
'B-boy': "The name's Nikka." (small, cute smile)
That day was officially the day when Tommy gained a love rival, and how Nikka ended up in a love triangle.
Have you ever realized what you actually want to do in your life? Adults keep telling you when you're young that "...you may have a dream in mind now, but the sooner you get older, the sooner you change your mind and go practical ways in your career path..." Other adults may tell you to "live your life to the fullest, but at least find an occupation or hobby that's practical for you to make money." Practicalnormal jobs = $$$$ Practicalprofessional jobs = $$$$$$+ up Haven't you ever realized that you can make a living out of something you want to do - just anything basically - as long as you work really hard? Don't fall into a Depression era, please.
To the person or people who are reading this certain blog entry right now, read carefully on what I have to type out: Live life to however the way you want it. Be happy! Learn to be at peace with yourself; whether you're busy doing homework or working hard at your jobs.
You may find out the finer things in life if you really open your eyes to the world. Money's not always important in life... although some people may think it is because we are born to learn that money is important in everything. But it's not. If we all work together, we can probably make Earth Day everyday; a part of our daily lives. So, go forth and have fun! Start participating in the things you want to do! No one would actually stop you... ;-)
One day, you just might find the thing or things that are most important to you in your life from that point on. :-)
Doesn't it seem that 2PM is showing more depression in their music and videos lately? It's like they're expressing their full emotions of fighting this dark burden, as if there is something missing from their lives. I'm betting full-on that it's Jay (Jaebom) Park from Art of Movement b-boy crew. If not that many of you people know, Jay used to be the leader of 2PM. Due to bad public image of one typical comment, he left Korea immediately, apologizing to everyone as he passed by the airport. That public comment was on MySpace. He stated a few years ago that he "hated Korea" or that "Korea sucks!" because he didn't understand much of the Korean language himself (although his origin is Korean). But that was before he grew to learn the language and gradually felt proud to be a Korean. Unfortunately, those anti-fans (fans who usually almost hate everything popular or a specific popular thing) of Jay's have been harrassing him (I've heard it as a rumor). That harrassment led him to believe he may harm not only himself, but his 2PM bandmates. So he left to Korea. Korean fans just stood silent as Jay left on the airplane. They were afraid that if they tried to speak out for Jay not to leave, his anti-fans would hurt them as well. It's pretty sad how anti-fans would go this far to push someone off their limits. It's alright if you don't like someone, just don't start changing the person's life unless that person may have harmed you in any way. In that case, Jaebom Park did nothing to anybody. That negative comment of his - any American with a mixed culture in them would make a comment like that. Supposed a Filipino American who knows only English goes to the Philippines. At first, the person may be uncomfortable because they don't know the Filipino language, and comments on Twitter that they hate the area that they're in. That's understandable. But what if lots of other pride Filipinos get angry with that comment? Then the person who made that awful comment will apologize with grace like Jay. Eventually, the bad mess will go down, sometimes slower if the person's a celebrity. Anti-fans will go far in order to reach their goal - to eliminate the person they hate and fill them with sorrow. Well, for all those anti-fans of Jay, guess what? He's at content right now. He may have been weak before (proof of weakness was when he left 2PM without much of a goodbye; he's the leader of the group 2PM), but now he'll slowly and gradually climb back to his feet and b-boy his way back to the top. Pretty soon, Jay won't just be in Art of Movement, but he'll also be back in 2PM. To all of Jaebom Park's fans, I am at your side. I will morally support Jay, Art of Movement, and 2PM over here in America. (By the way, the example I used earlier has nothing to do with me. I never left America yet.) You hear that, anti-fans? All of Jay's fans and I won't back down. You've just spreaded hatred all over the world. And for that, we shall fight back no matter what. Let's get 2PM to sing more positive upbeat songs again. We shouldn't be afraid anymore.
