TVXQ's Balloons Performance



Before you continue on this post, please watch this video first. Thank you~

During last semester's Korean Class, we had a project and that is to present a sing and dance number. The DBSK fangirl in me told me TVXQ's Balloons is simply just the right song our group must perform lol. So we practiced and all. Anyway, I've got to say props to our DBSK boys for their flawlessness in singing live and dancing at the same time. In this video, we had to sing and dance live too AND I TELL YOU IT WAS NOT EASY. As you can see, there were moments where I had to steady my erratic breathing by holding my chest because le gasp, no air looooool.

The competitive person that I am told me to edit the raw video and upload a more enhanced version of our performance, thus the birth of this video:


Yesterday, I did a little experimentation with simple video editing like merging two videos into one, adding music, video overlays and all. It was fun because I am learning. I've always wanted to know more about manipulation in technology, Photoshop for instance. However, it is an intricate process so I will do that some other time. I also learned to be more patient. It took me hours to finish editing the raw video because of a fail Internet connection and my lack of patience.

Downloading a video editing program called Youtube Video Maker was an effort. I don't really know that much about these things so one click might result to a mistake I will regret. And nobody likes that.

Here's the other performances my classmate recorded:

Kara's Lupin



AN JELL's Beautiful You OST

Please excuse all the "Oppa Saranghaeyo!" 8D that's me btw

Hmmm, how to wrap this post? Haha. I truly enjoyed this activity. We even bought animal hats~~~ just to have the Balloons vibe DBSK has in their MV. I also think my groupmates and our classmates as well as our Seonsaengnim enjoyed it. They cheered for us man. ;))

The other performances by the other section wasn't recorded because they had another schedule and all. It was kinda sad but if I remember, they performed 4minute's Hot Issue, Super Junior's Sorry Sorry, City Hunter's OST Cupid by Girl's Day, Personal Taste's OST Maldo Andwae by Younha, 2NE1's Fire and I Don't Care and many more. Mostly OST from Kdramas being aired here in the Philippines and some Kpop songs being played here in local radio stations and music channels. ♥

For this semester, we are studying Japanese Language. Our sensei told us that we can choose from presenting a Japanese drama or singing a Japanese song for our Final project. I chose the later of course because Tohoshinki. ^^ I still don't know what song but I might do Step-by-Step because of it's lively-ness. Begin and Heart, Mind and Soul also are my favorite songs but I have to sing it with an accompaniment or go a capella. But I'm really excited!

Good luck to me~

This is how I feel these days

XIA Tarantallegra is Unequalled

What music would you listen to?
Spazz post for XIA's first solo album, Tarantallegra. ;)

I bought Junsu's first solo album through a friend, Abbu unnie, and was very thankful because the album's with me now and even if he'll be releasing a repackaged album with additional English track and MV, I regret nothing. His first solo album was released on May 14, 2012. The repackaged album will probably be released prior to his World Tour and I might get it if the MV will be Jaejoong's composition "No Gain" but it will be another MV I might as well lol will download the MV ;)

Of course, MQ with poor lighting pictures: Image heavy.

 
The package~ 


 
ze bubble wrap envelop to ensure it's safety~ ^^ 


 
Abbu unnie threw in some stuff! This included an artsy Kpop bag ;) ♥ 


 
It also included this baller bracelet that says 
''I will wait for DBSK Always Keep the Faith"


 
and another baller from CassPH! I bought one but it kinda broke 
so I'm happy I have another one as replacement~


 
and this "Yunho" sticker~ I think it's from his Goong musical. It's really BIG. 


  
XIA mini photocard and her message ^^


 
ze album~


 
the package in totality~ 


 
and some YooSu feels. 


 
the side... part of the album ;D 


 
Back view. I actually wished for it to have lace but no it didn't. :))


 
Ofcourse, an obligatory selca 



 
the album without the lacey thick plastic cover


 
ze photobook. I really like how they have his name embossed ;) 


 
inside~ 


 
I actually like his hairstyle in this picture, however his hair wasn't that exposed 
because they focused more with his lacey gloves xD 


 
the Junsu feels emanating from this photobook really XD


 
Also loved how they used acetate papers in the photobook. 




 
This picture totally freaked me out. If you would look closely, you'd see/think he has a third eye. And he was wearing this black cloak-like piece of clothing and there's smoke, it looks like it came from a horror movie! 



 
But then I realized it was again an acetate paper. I felt relieved. Haha



 
mini Junsu poster~


 
JYJ's Get Out loljk. 


 
I really like this design. One would think this is a photobook of a rockstar's. 



 
But no, this is XIA's. ♥  btw, I just wanted to point this out lololol:
check out the lyrics for Tarantallegra and find the typo. Tell me if you found it. ;)


 
BECAUSE IT'S FISH NET AND NON-EXISTENT JUNSU ABS 


 
SWAG. 


 
Ah. I really like the cover. 


 
so pwetty~~ 



 
ze poster! It arrived later than expected haha but I have to credit the Air21 staff for being accommodating over the phone while I inquired about it's whereabouts. Air21 sends the recipient a test message informing you your package will be delivered on a specific date. I received a message it will be delivered on the 20th but I did not receive anything thus the inquiry. They were very patient in listening to me as my try to give them  directions on how to locate our shipping address. ^^ 



 
the poster tube cover and Korean writing 'Inteonet Home peiji' 


 
finally, the poster! ♥ 

A friend told me Junsu will be a great artist someday and I said, "Yes he is and he will be." I did not want to bring up the lawsuit but come to think of it, if he stayed, would there be a XIA 1st Solo Album, XIA 1st Solo Asia Tour and moreover, XIA World Tour? *winks* It may have been a risk but I'm sure it was worth it. I think we all can agree how amazing this album is and saying Junsu is amazing will be an understatement because we all know he already is. Here's to celebrating good music.
