You Exist In My Song (我的歌聲裡) by Wanting

I rarely like Chinese Pop music - this is an exception. Have been listening to it on a loop because it's so beautiful T.T

Here is the song with English translation:

Heartbreak Girl - 5 Seconds of Summer

I love these guys - I first found them with this YouTube video:

Aren't they adorable? Makes me want to take a trip to Australia just to hear that accent some more :)

Sweet Dream -MFBTY

This song is rockin' and probably like no other Kpop song you've come across - and it has a bit of everything - rap, electronic beat, pop, Korean, English, creative video. Don't miss out, guys. This one is worth watching.

Update: Interview with MFBTY on EatYourKimchi here: http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/our-interview-with-mfbty/#comment-818376992 
 
Love, love, love EYK. Join the Nasties :)

 

EXO-K and EXO-M

Umm....so where was I in 2012?! Apparenty not paying attention. EXO-K(orean) and EXO-M(andarin) debuted at the end of 2011, as a mirror boy band of six guys, one of which is Korean and the other group Chinese (because that was not obvious).

Here's a taste to get you hooked:

and the Chinese version:

Here's the wiki page if you are completed dazed.
And their homepages (EXO-K and EXO-M)....and no, this does not count as stalking. But, please, obsess to your heart's desire <3

January challenge update

So I finished one of my challenges - to make an amigurumi turtle and ended up making two! They were a gift to my boyfriend's mother for Christmas. The lamb on the right side is a gift I gave my boyfriend last year when we went to Boston.

I found this pattern here.

Lost Girl, Season 1

 

This show was surprisingly addictive...I mean, nothing is spectacular about the acting. The storyline is enough to hold interest, but not super imaginative (but, frankly, I love me some SyFy, so who really cares about all these sorts of things...?) I think there are two reasons why I watched a full season in a week:

1. The people are really beautiful. Take for example, Dyson, who is a shapeshifter:

More mainstream beauties being the main actress and her good friend. And the Light Fae doctor. And Dyson's cop partner. Seriously, everybody.

 

 

2. Second reason this show is great - TV is finally bringing the fae into mainstream, as literature (albeit mainly YA) did years ago. We're all kind of tired with the vampire/werewolf mix, but how many shows have you seen that have Kelpie? or Sirens?

 

Overall, I girl Lost girl a 3/5, because although I liked it, I probably enjoyed it for reasons unrelated to the actual show itself. But I guess that still kind of makes it a success, right? A few notes, though. The main role is a Succubus, so a bit too much sex and sexually charged scenes for my taste. I will still watch the second season - I have a major wolf-crush on Dyson, and can't quite give it up yet!

 

Rating: 3/5



January Challenge

I'm not quite set on this yet, since the year already started (Happy New Year by the way!) and it's already passing me by.

For this month's challenge I will do a sampler so I can get back in the swing of things:

1. Lose 4 lbs
2. Make amigurumi turtle
3. Read 4 books
4. Make 4 new dishes

Wish me luck!
