WE the BEST

Today's post is very much Kpop related.
So the group that my friend and I created a fanclub for is a group called WE. They are modeled on the black eyed peas and unlike most korean artists these days, their age is older. Way older. Also, they are not idols. Anyways, so my friend who is volunteering for MNet had a mission she had to do and that was to make a kpop cover song. So since we are both WE fans, we decided to cover WE's song called Rainy Days. It was WE's debut song last year's november. Both of us practiced hard because the song involved rapping... in Korean.
Yesterday we finally finished the cover and the video that went along with it and uploaded it on youtube. Here it is

We got an immediate response from one of the members of WE on twitter and then this morning, the ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY posted the link to our youtube with a message telling people to check it out and that they were touched watching it.
Right now, I still don't know how to feel with this response at all.

To catch you up, when we first made the fan club we didn't think we were going to get their attention but first, we got one of the members and then the entertainment company and then we got contacts and then another member followed us. From then on we are basically communicating with each other on twitter.
This is when I say, I love social network websites! Without social networking I don't think we would've made this far. Just the mere fact that a celebrity, although a relatively new one, knows my friend and I, and talks to us is still surreal. This experience is definitely once in a lifetime I feel.

Midterm week

I cannot believe that this week is almost over. I did not think I would survive this week properly but here I am, on a thursday night writing in my blog. On Monday, I had my second midterm. It was my East Asian Religion & Culture class. I only had a 2 hour study session for the class and afterwards, I didn't really study much to be honest. So I was a little nervous coming into class that day. The teacher assistant came late, so it just increased my nerves for the day. When we finally got the exams, I realized, I knew more of the midterms than I expected, it was just a lot of writing that I had to do. I found myself writing the same themes over and over again but with different words. In a way that was relatively similar to the way he was lecturing his classes and the way Chuang Tsu has written his philosophy. It is basically the same but there are variations of the same theme I feel. Anyways the midterm went better than I expected, however, you never know what might happen. So,...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...
