KCrush Oops.

So I know my number 4 Korean Crush! I can't believe I didn't think of him yesterday! He was the very first Kpop video I ever posted on my site too! That is why he gets a blog post all his own to make up for it lol!

4. Jinwoon

He is orginally a member of the the band 2AM. He is currently working on his own solo career singing more indie rock type music. 2AM is still together, but it is very common for members of bands to branch off and do their own thing while still doing music with their group. I just wanna throw in there that he was also on the cover of Men's Health Korea:


Okay so how could I NOT post that! Told you that these men might be small, but they make up for it BIG time! He's actually kinda tall so it all works out! Anyways as I said before he has gone solo and has released two songs, LaLaLa & You Walking Towards Me. You Walking Towards Me is my FAVORITE song! He has an amazing voice & I think he will be COMPLETELY successful in his solo career. I'm not even gonna lie I found a Tumblr that is dedicated to pictures of him & yea I bookmarked it. DON'T JUDGE ME!

I don't even know what else to say, because I keep thinking about his Men's Health cover soooo instead I'm gonna post the video of You Walking Towards Me! A MUST WATCH! Fyi he does rock the shirtless look in the video :) but that's not why you should watch it! Okay maybe for the most part, but the song is good okay so just take a listen:

One last thought...he might give KCrushes 2 & 3 a run for their money...

XOXO,

Korean Crushes.

First off I have to say I can't stop watching Korean dramas or listening to KPop. My family thinks I was Asian in a past life, I actually took it as a compliment lmao!

This is my opinion, but I'm confident when I say the guys (not all lol) dress so amazing! They always dress to impress its crazy! My Mother and I noticed it when we were watching Boys Over Flowers. In other dramas I've watched I noticed the "dressing to impress" style is pretty consistent. I have to say nothing wrong wtih that! The guys seems to be a little more feminine than American men. On the other hand they really take care of themselves. I only have one complaint, most seem so small! Thin & not that tall! BUT I've seen pictures of some of them with no shirts on & let me tell you don't be fooled! 6-pack galore!

Anyway recently I have developed crushes for 3 particular men! It would probably be more but I haven't found any that really caught my eye to where I could label them as "crushes." More of random guys that I think are cute. Right now number 4 is a toss up lol. I'm being serious when I say these kpop stars do it ALL! Sing, act, model, you name it! How can you not like guys that are talented & versitile?

Now it's time to present to you my K crushes...

3. Jaejoong

I know he has a serious look in this pic, but seriously he can totally pull off the brooding look! He had a different hair style, but recently started rocking this look. I think this looks much better than the Bieber look. He has soft features for a man, but seriously he wasn't voted The MOST Beautiful Man in Asia for nothing!

2. Hwanhee

I feel in love with Hwanhee when I saw him perform his new song I Feel Like I'm Going To Die. AMAZING song! I posted the music video with English subs a while back and if you haven't already you should check it out! How can you not love those lips lol

1. Kim Hyun-Joong

I first discovered him in Boys Over Flowers. In that drama he REALLY was the nice guy that finished last! I commenly refer to him as Ji-Hoo, which is his character in BOF, because thats where I fell in love with him. His hair is short now, but honestly I prefer it when he had it longer so I posted a pic with my hair of choice! So cute....ugh *swoon*


So I seriously could have written forever about my Korean crushes, but I'm going to spare you guys! Bad enough I already seems like a crazed teenage girl! I'm not gonna lie I will most likely post more about my Korean obsession's so bear with me! In the mean time enjoy looking at my top 3 cuties!

XOXO,

Drink two cups of water right before eating your meals to expedite weight loss. Studies have shown that this leads to a decrease in appetite, due to an increase in the feeling of fullness. Therefore, you eat less but still feel satisfied!

Share Sunday.

So I have the WORSE sleeping habits EVER. Seriously I can not go to sleep till after 2! & because I go to sleep so late I don't wake up until after 10. I wanna blame it on when I lived in California. My sleeping habits were probably worse then than they are now. I wouldn't go to bed till 4 and I can remember days I didnt go to sleep till lunch. I just don't get tired. And when I do its's an instant thing where BAM I'm asleep, no warning.

Recently I tried taking sleeping pills......lol I don't wanna say they didn't work but I didn't get the results I expected lol. I went to bed around 1:30 which is a start right? Then the next day i had no energy. I just felt tired all day! I'm thinking maybe I need a new pill. Those pills just make you feel tired so you can go to sleep, I need something that works in less than an hour and I'm knocked out.

I'm thinking I might try warm milk even tho I HATE milk. I'm willing to try it if it works. I could learn to like it. I'll probably start to force myself up early with an alarm. Wake up early will equal tired earlier. We shall see I guess. If not I'm sure the power of Google will help me think of new ideas! Wish me luck!

XOXO,

Salad first. For one week, try eating a big salad before your regular meal. The fiber will help to cleanse your system and fill you up faster so that you eat less calorie rich foods.

Today I wanna share about the one thing that I'm allergic too. Wine. Not actually all wines just the sulfates in the wines. It's actually a horrible story on how I found out, atleast for me lol.

I have a family friend that's from Germany & every fall she comes to visit. Well a few years ago she came and on the last night she was here we had a going away toast. As you can tell the drink of choice was wine. It was really good & it was literally less than half a glass. Well that didn't matter because the next morning I woke up with irritation on my arms and thighs. I really didn't think much of it, but as days went by it got worse. It was so horrible because it was during the beginning of a new sememster & I had to go to school like that.

It spread & my right lower arm actually was swollen. It itched so bad & I had no choice but to go to the dr. He asked me the obvious questions if I had changed soaps or lotion & I hadn't. Then he asked about food. Once I said wine he was like bingo! & I actually got yelled at lol. Seriously. He told me to avoid wine & even some alcohols. He also said I was lucky that my reaction wasn't severe, scary! He just told me to keep Benadryl with me to help with any allergic reactions I might have in the future.

After a round of steriods, itch pills & cream it was gone. Well almost. For a while I had a discoloration on my wrist from where my arm was swollen. You literally could see the outline. Thankfully it faded away! Since then it was acted up maybe twice, but now I'm aware & better equipped to take care of it myself! Some people say I'm missing out because I can't drink wine BUT...

They do make sulfate free wines!

XOXO,

Life.

Boys Over Flowers.

That show is the reason why I missed Share Sunday. I LOVED that show! It was 25 hour long episodes plus 1 special...so yea I was pretty preoccupied. The drama is called Boys Over Flowers & its about a girl, Jan-Di, getting into Shin Hwa School, which is basically a school for the rich. The school is basically run by Goo Jun-pyo, the heir of the global corporation Shin Hwa Group, Yun Ji-hoo, So Yi-jeong, and Song Woo-bin, they call them F4. The entire school worships the F4 except for Jan-Di. However, she holds a certain soft spot for Yun Hi-Hoo, who appears to be different from the other three. Jan-Di finally speaks up against F4 to defend her friend, Oh Min Ji. From then on, she becomes Jun-pyo's main rival. Almost every time Jan-Di is bullied, she is helped by Ji-hoo in some way. Jan-Di and Jun-Pyo's rivalry intensifies, but as the story develops and Jun-Pyo slowly starts falling for Jan-Di.

I know when you read about what the series is about your kinda like eh, but especially being a female you can't resist watchin 4 handsome guys on screen. The story has so MANY turns! Something new is ALWAYS coming up and your like wtf???!!! & if you don't love Ji-Hoo your CRAZY!!! He's my new crush lmao & my mom's first asian crush! She actually wated the last 14 episodes with me! She said she finally understood why I liked watching them so much! They know how to put the right music & everything! This drama is one of my faves, but honestly I think I say that about everyone I watch lol. I will complain that Woo-Bin didn't get much of a story line as the other guys. It would have been nice to see more of him since his character was a great character. Oh well. Also the ending left too many loose ends & well the love triangle yeaaaa I don't know about that, BUT I do get it.

They had a special episode because this series was a HUGE success all over Asia & all the actors really got a career boost. The special was more of a flash back of events, but it will still nice to see all the F4 guys again! Oh and my blog about Soulmates is because of this show. If you wanna know you gotta watch! Click the picture above & it will take you where you can watch it online for free! I've already started a new drama. The english name is Playful Kiss. It stars my mom & I's fave from BOF, Ji-Hoo! This show didn't do as well in Korea, but it was a hit overseas so thats good! Oh and my mom is watching this with me also lol! I think I got her hooked....YAY!

XOXO,

Do your body good and get your spinach on! Spinach is the one of the healthiest vegetables. It’s high in antioxidants and rich in vitamins A, C, E and K. It’s also a great source of iron, calcium, and potassium, among other minerals.

Fun Fact Friday.

Before aspirin was produced, ailing patients chewed the bark of the white willow tree (from which aspirin is derived) to help alleviate fever and pain.

SoulMates.

Can your soulmate and the person you marry be 2 different people?

This is the question I am asking myself. I know many people believe that your soulmate is the person you are supposed to be with for the rest fof your life. Which I completely see that point. But I have some thought's of my own. First let me start by asking what is a soulmate? I believe that every one has their own definition of what they believe it is.

In my opinion a soulmate is someone who is a major part of your life & a person you do love. But I don't feel that it has to be someone you end marrying. I think a soulmate can be a friend that your close too. A person you confide in, need, care for, trust...A person you know is important to you. I know your thinking those are also the qualities you want in your signficant other, but when there are things going on in your life that also includes your s/o who do you turn too? Some friends we have even before we meet our s/o, their like constants in our lives.

And my next point is what about the people who marry, divorce, & somtimes repeat it a few times? I'm pretty sure at one time they all believed that person standing across from them at the alter was "the one" for them. Do they not have a soulmate? What about people who never marry, do they not have one either? Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying your husband/wife can't be your soulmate, I just think it's also possible for them to be 2 seperate people.

In a way I think this can also relate to loving someone & being in love with someone. There's a fine line between the two. At first I thought will if your soulmate isn't your s/o wouldn't you want to be with the other person? Thats where love comes in. Is that person the only person you wanna be with and have a life & family? Through out our lives we love alot of people, but how many were you in love with?

I guess to me a soul mate is a person who shares our purpose in life, complements our strengths, and supplements our weaknesses. Most importantly someone who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. Who's to say if that person is your significant other, friend, or even someone else who play's an important role in your life......

Think about it.

XOXO,

Konad Update.

This post is long over due! As you can see I have tried using my Konad plates! I really suck at it lol! It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be! Don't get me wrong the plates & Special Polish do work! My problem is getting the image to transfer over to the stamper. It either doesn't transfer or is incomplete. So far the flower (see pic) & zebra prints have worked the best! I gotta practice practice practice!

Lucky for me I like rocking the one nail painted only look! So I have rocked the designs but more or less on only one finger lol. It still looks cute tho! When it comes to painting my nails I do it every once in a while, but usually I don't. I like to keep my finger nails natural with a top coat. Now that I have my plates I will be doing a natural nail with a design and shiny top coat! Sometimes simple really is more!

XOXO,

I'm scared of bees. Like run in the other direction & hide lol. I don't even know why. I think the fea of being stung! To make it worse, lately on the porch of my house, bees are hanging out by the front window! We can't open the front door for fear if letting one in. We have no idea why. No nest or anything! My bro doused them with Windex of all things and that seemed to help thankfully! Will I ever be over my fear? Probably not!

What Do You Choose?

Solved 1 Problem. Gained Another.

I pride myself on being an honest up front person. I have a tell it like it is attitude which I didn't have before. Sometimes I wonder to myself if that's a good or bad thing. Good because I used to be a carpet. Bad because I can be a little too blunt. Honestly I have mixed emotions about the personality I used to have & the one I have now.

Before I used to just go with what the other person(s) wanted. I rarely spoke up or voiced my opinion. Don't get me wrong I just didn't sit their like a retard, but I would get to the point where I would be so frustrated I would over react. Yea not good. Especially since I was a big cry baby back then. My problem was I wanted to make sure that everyone else was happy. I put everyone else, especially relationship wise, ahead of me.

Now that I think about it I was never "me" just who I thought I should be. As you know that is NOT a good thing. But this is what gets me. I did it because I really cared about the person(s). In a way it makes sense to put that other person ahead of you if you really care & love them. It made me happy to see that person happy. If toughing out a situation meant that they would appreciate it, then it was fine with me.

Isn't that weird? In a way it's justifying the behavior but it's also not. Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices. & to me those where were mine. I guess I can't complain too much about it. It's not that I wasn't happy, because I was. I think I just learned that now I don't have to be the only one making those compromises. It's possible to meet in the middle.

Here comes the new issue at hand. My bluntness. I don't always think before I speak. I call it "word vomit." Lol. Sometimes have strong opinions so I just tell it like it is. Which is appreciated now days, but I need to take the edge off a lil. So this is where I am at. Instead of being a people pleaser now I'm mean (For lack of a better word). It isn't gonna be easy, but I'm gonna learn to control my 'word vomit" & be a little nicer........hopefully!

XOXO,

I'm horrible I know.

I haven't been writing much blog entries, because I have become obsessed with a South Korean variety show. I LOVE IT! It's called We Got Married & the show pairs up Korean celebrities to show what life would be like if they were married. Each week couples are assigned missions to complete, with candid interviews of the participants to reveal their thoughts and feelings.

I know your probably thinking WTH, but its really good & hilarious! They have commentators too that watch the outings & add their input. Seriously it all adds up to a whole lotta laughing! My favorite couple was the Sweet Potato Couple. After over a year of they finally ended their virtual marriage. I cried on the last episode!!! I'm such a baby I know lol!

I know the marriages are fake, but I honestly think it really does lead to more. From episode 1 till, how ever long the couples last, you can really see a growth in them as individuals & as a couple. It's so cute to see how they start off so shy & then eventually become like a real couple! It almost seems like your intruding on some of their special moments.

So yea that's what I have been doing lately! I can't stop watching its horrible! Lol. Once I finished watching Sweet Potato couple I started Adam couple. I'm going to really try to write a blog. I do have ideas for post I just haven't wanted to stop watching all the complete episodes of my new found obsession!

I might need an intervention or better yet a JOB!

XOXO,

YOU...
