Wow did you turn twelve cause you're literally twelve. But yeah happy birthday smelly punani panini pununu oppakiller1234. I feel bad that I'm telling you hella late in the day, and you could barely hear what I was saying on the phone so here:
I'll literally be seeing you in a week or so and we'll finally be living together, which is gross as fuck. Well I really hope that you have a great birthday while in San Francisco. Hope you get drunk or do some crazy stuff while there. Do whatever you want as long as you don't die ok. Also, do you really need that LUSH gift card I bought you since well I want to use it. If you do not respond anytime soon I will use it anyways.
Okay to be extra sappy here I go:
You're gay.
No, but seriously. We've come a long way from watching movies on skype and messing around by being dumb and stupid. I really hope you achieve what you want in life and become who you want to be. You have been working really hard being on your own, and though I barely see you often, I do pray for your safety and that you are healthy. You truly are a great friend and deserve the best in life, and I can always count on you when needed. I always can tell you what's bothering me even though I try to conceal it as much as I can (since I hate telling people about my first world problems). You are a great friend even if I rarely say it on occasion, and I am blessed that you are apart of my life. Hopefully the upcoming year with each other will bring us wealth (please base god), good grades, stay away from annoying people, and help us grow into the adults that we aim to be. Happy birthday Silvia and hope you get what you want on your birthday, and if it's a dildo, I can buy one for you.
Now here's a compilation of shit that is basically you and me.
That time where I had finals the next day, but we played Edward Forty Hands
while we were watching Exo's Showtime and acting dumb and shit yeah.
Shitty times in Los Angeles while waiting
to find a stupid bonfire spot at Docweiler Beach
Your last day in Vegas when we went to iHop
to have unlimited pancakes sobs
When we were snapchatting someone during
Winter Break when you stayed at my house
That one time we went to Vidcon to see
Dan Howell and Phil Lester
And this picture is just a dumb
tweet of you shouting out to Satan
And here we have a picture of us while riding Tran
Taken from Tomomi's official twitter that I have no inkling to what it says.
Maybe it says something about eating waffles or peanuts or something.
This morning I was graced by this particular tweet made by Tomomi Itano (Tomochin), a former member of AKB48 and my previous favorite member as well. Since I haven't taken Japanese in such a while (ok it's only been a year), I have no idea what this says. I also did not go beyond Japanese II so please bare with me. Though I may not know what the tweet says, nor do I care about the translations right now (even though I could google translate it), the twitter photo underneath it just made me die.
Tomomi Itano (right) and Maeda Atsuko (left)
How do you not think these two are freaking cute.
Maeda Atsuko, also known as Acchan, were posing in a photo together. Although I am not a big AKB fan as I use to be, these two were one of my favorites.
Fellow senbatsu members forever!
Let alone, they considered each other best friends during their reign in AKB48, so please refrain from hearing me cry. I really do miss seeing the old AKB48 members, or mainly those of the first three generations, being together. I really hope their solo careers are doing well!
Tomochin and Acchan have gone single since leaving AKB48, but it's great to see that the two best friends still have a chance to see each other when they can. Hopefully I get to see more of them together in the future!
another yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo fucking caption gdi luhan
And look who decided to kill my mood with his recent instagram update. It is none other than the deer of EXO, Luhan. Maybe since I haven't been getting as much Sehun instagram updates as I would want (cries since I want more Sehun in my life), but damn.
Luhan surely knows how to kill his own fangirls with that face of his. When I first saw this picture, I nearly had a heart attack (no pun attended to any fellow EXO fans). I liked Luhan's new hair once people started to upload photos of it after the EXO-M fan signing, and truly I haven't had a thing for Luhan since his dark hair during the MID era.
But not only did he have to give me a heart attack, he also had to make me face palm and cry in a ball because of his caption. I mean have we got enough already, and guess what, I have a few examples:
The comment that started the apocalypse that is Yo Yo Yo Man
Luhan being dumb during XOXO and attempting to speak English
The infamous scene of Exo's Showtime when Xiumin gets him and he says "Yo baby"
I would like to provide a PSA for Luhan, please stop saying Yo yo yo yo yo. Please Luhan, when will this end? No, it has began, because look what has happened.
People are asking the hard hitting questions that Luhan must answer
Luhan has a bit of English up his sleeve, or so I think through the next amount of gifs I have provided:
You sir, are freaking gross
Someone stop him
Please I am barfing
Truly someone has taught him this English, whoever it is, because if it's you Wu Yi Fan, I will find you. But overall Luhan, you are too pretty. Why must you be so pretty Xiao Lu, tell me why? Sigh, I really hope with your new hair, I do not add you to the top 3 or soon to be 4 in my Exo bias list. I don't need this, especially after Tao dying his black hair.
Oh Sehun looking oh so fine while getting his hair done
Now like I said previously, I need more Sehun in my life. Baby boy looking so cute and fine while getting his hair done by his hairdresser. One of the many reasons why I love Sehun so much is his dedication to the fans. He truly wants to provide more for the fans even when he cannot be there physically. Truly I'm crying because of his perfection! Slay baby, slay.
But not only has he updated his instagram, but I have as well seen the pictures he and Kai took. And let me just upload these courtesy of baam and namoo khun.
Well that was just fucking great to see some hot ass babies of mine on some magazine scans that again my heart is beating so fast. God bless that Kai and Sehun can not only sing and dance by model. Man I'm dying right now.
Chanyeol looking so cute as he does his classic v pose~
Not one, not two, but three Exo instagram updates. Have we been good to all the senpai's lately or has god answered my prayers. Well look at this cutie right here. I have been getting extra crazy for Chanyeol lately since I've been watching Roommate continuously lately.
I also fell more in love with Chanyeol due to this video of him doing a very fast rap. Quoted by KrisMeBaek:
Outsider, the original artist who sings this song, is the world’s 2nd fastest rapper at 17 syllables per second in this song “Loner”. Many claim that he has reached speeds of 21, 23 & 24 syllables per second but these claims have not been substantiated. So that’s why everyone, included me, was very impressed by the speed of Chanyeol’s rapping here. He’s really really really good. (source)
I knew Chanyeol was an amazing rapper, but imagine the time and effort he had to put to do such rapping. But he probably has the skills do such things as these. He's truly made for rapping and god bless SM Entertainment for doing at least something right.
But seriously, this has been the first of many to come as to Why is Mari Crying Today, hope you liked it. Here are my final words: please do not say "Yo yo yo yo" to me unless you would like me to pull out all my hair and cry in a corner. If Maeda and Tomomi post another picture of them together, please contact me asap. I will also need to recover from that Sehun and Kai photo shoot along with Chanyeol's hot ass rapping. Bye.
I saw a particular post on tumblr about Megan Trainor's song. I heard it was to help support body positivity amongst our generation - well to those who are more curvy oppose to those who are skinny. I truly cannot get enough of this song to save my life. I have been popping, locking, jamming, and breaking to this song like it's nobody's business. Being someone who is blessed with curves and an ass I truly wish to loose, this song gave me more confidence and believe that I should be happier with who I am. Though I am oppose to her talking about skinny people being bitches, it was a great song.
The music video was very playful. It also gave more leverage to those who are curvy to show there is no shame to be who you are to love your body too. The sort of soft-grunge vibe with the pastel backdrops and outfits made me love it even more. Along with the music video, the lyrics truly did give a great message to those struggling with their body since they aren't a size two. Sure I really am not skinny enough to fit into lower jean sizes, but like Megan says in her lyrics:
FAR EAST MENTION MANNEQUINS are truly the group that I have invested my time into since I took the liberty of purchasing most of their singles on iTunes. I haven't listened to Wannabe, We Flood The Night, UFO, and Party All Night yet, but I might in the future. As of now, Kiss The Rain is my favorite song of theirs, but I got hooked by listening to White Noise. I really got interested while scrolling randomly on Tumblr, again, one day. I saw these two gifs from a person I was following and got curious.
Both these gifs are from the Kill the DJ music video
I really was interested on these girls who called themselves FEMM. As many people thought with their name, I kept thinking about Far East Movement. Once I watched the White Noise music video, I was bouncing up the walls and popping my booty to it. Note: I say booty popping or popping my booty as an expression for my love of a particular song. I truly love their songs, and although Fxxk Boys Get Money is not a favorite amongst fans, the music video is hilarious. Two Japanese girls rhyming slick and twerking was just amazing. For now, I think Fxxk Boys Get Money will stay on my go to dance music playlist. Hopefully that will change soon!
David So's voice is heaven for human ears. I love songs by Musiq Soulchild, and David's silky, smooth voice gave meaning to this cover. The first verses he did were just amazing, and I haven't been able to stop putting this on blast. Let's not forget Paul Kim's equally amazing voice that can do vocal runs like any child or adult could, which is truly a lie. Literally I listen to this song like it's the only source of food my soul needs, and whenever I have to wash the dishes lol.
Even if you have not listened to the original song, but I advise you to do so by clicking here, it's truly a song that is made for the summer. The smooth jazz like notes can sometimes, and I do mean sometimes, bring down the heat with their water-like voices since they're so smooth and lucid. It brings me back to the old days of easy listening music than songs now on the radio. Though the summer is ending increasingly as the days pass, it's truly great to listen to two amazing vocalists that bring back the vibes of the 90's and 2000's. You can download this cover hereon David's bandcamp, so please support him!
Well look where we are now. If you know me personally, you know I like kpop. Okay maybe not like, more like love. The daily dose of kpop tag will probably be used more frequently than most others, unless I make an EXO tag in the future.
Moving on, Block B's new single Her is another summer jam that I am obsessed over. After listening to Jackpot, I had no idea they could top their previous single. I was really sad but understand Block B's decision to cancel Jackpot promotions and performances due to the Sewol Ferry Incident (may those souls rest in peace).
Their comeback single is provides a new sound and image to the usual hard image that is Block B. Their music video reminded me so much of the soft grunge theme music video like in Megan Trainor's All About the Bass video that packed more of a punch. Let's not forget all the cartoon art and pastel colors soft grunge themes take on as well as the randomness that came along with showing an ostrich and promoting Tide.
It truly is a song someone can just get up in and jam to if they're trying to be productive as I was while packing my stuff before I leave for San Francisco. I listened to this song on repeat to help give me energy to work and clean. Sigh, I wish this song was longer, so I can dance more to it!
Overall, here are my thoughts on each member: Zico killed it with the raps in this. Kyung was just so cute, and he, Taeil, and Ukwon's voices were sex (again for reference Ukwon is the bae). I honestly did not like P.O's pink-ish hair, but the maknae was killing his raps and singing parts too! As for B Bomb and Jaehyo, maybe I was biased towards Ukwon and Taeil, but I didn't really keep my eyes on them that much >.< but Block B was overall cute with their dance. One of my favorite summer single kpop songs.
Unlike Block B, I heavily follow up with GOT7 more frequently, but they come to a close third to EXO and Bangtan Boys. Although I am sad this is not a single, this song just hurts my heart. Hurt both in a good and bad way. Good since it's my favorite song on their album, next to their single A. It hurts so good since their voices are packed purely with backtrack that can make you fall asleep at night since I tend to use this song as a lullaby at night.
Jackson especially is the one person from GOT7 who had made me melt with this song. Usually Jackson is the rapper of the group, yet he sang in this song. I could not believe that he was the one singing the beginning verses, besides Mark's intro. It really made me mad that they auto-tuned his voice since he does not need it. Jackson may be the China Representative in fencing, but he surely does not need the auto-tuning.
I seriously invested so much time in finding a live version to watch of this song, but sadly there were only shorten performance from A Song For You, fancams, their debut showcase that made them autotune their voices, and just one radio show that suited my taste.
I really wanted to hear more of this song, which concludes why this song hurts in a bad way. The translations of the lyrics seriously made me cry as well as Youngjae, JB, and JR's vocals. This song is a great slow jam that can make you just feel the joy of being in love (which I clearly do not have any knowledge in this department lol) even if you do not understand the Korean lyrics, you could feel it through their emotions.
Hope you liked my first Obsession of the Week in my Just Chill section. These will mainly provide my music reviews and tastes that I hope you would look into. Cannot wait to add more to this label. Wait for more to come!
