K-Pop Thrill

My little sister & i decided to watch the 2011 MNet Asian Music Awards or MAMA for short on TV last night & we ended up almost trying to explore the world of Korean Pop or K-Pop for short. Dancing to the tunes of the hottest K-Pop acts like Girls Generation who sang the Korean & English versions of their new hit single, The Boys while Super Junior sang their hearts out to their hit singles like Superman, Mr. Simple & Sorry Sorry. Come to think of it, Girls Generation is already a far cry from the first time their fans saw them while Super Junior remained down to Earth, even Cho Kyuhyun aka Marcus Cho speaks fluent Chinese since he's also a part of Super Junior-M, a Super Junior subgroup that has Henry Lau Xian Hua & Zhou Mi which sings songs not just in Korean, but also in Chinese! But the shocker is when Super Junior bagged the Album Of The Year, Park Jungsoo aka Leeteuk or Dennis Park announced that this might be his last appearance in an awards show with SJ, just because he will be enlisted in the Korean Army soon. But never mind, his fellow SJ pals will finish his unfinished business anyway. (That's weird, my little sister doesn't know the English names of all of the 13 original SJ members!)

For inspiration, just to have Sunny Lee's new blonde bob that she donned when Girls Generation released their new album of The Boys with the tittle track in Korean & English, before releasing an all-English album, my little sister told me to lose some bulge, in other words, get started to be active! I guess my little sister told me a bunch of times about that, like she could tell me to watch the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. My little sister is just getting started to explore the world of K-Pop, i remember the time that Super Junior's Bonamana was played on the TV, my little sister & i would sing & dance to that song. I even remember last June, i even memorized the English names of the 13 original Super Junior members & it took me a week to memorize that! But somehow, it paid off since i already know their English names aside from their Korean names which is already known by the group's ELF's all over the world. Somehow, i'm even looking forward to tell my dad to buy me a 2GB Micro SD Card with adapter because i'd love to download to more K-Pop tracks! Anyway, this makes me go begging my little sister to eat Korean food at Kimchi, this time along with my mom. Us 3 girls on a Korean food thrill!

December's Bliss

December is already here, great, it will be a few days to go before Christmas & it looks like the Christmas spirit is already here. It was no surprise that Penshoppe finally released their ads featuring their newest endorser, Mario Maurer, right in time for Christmas, but maybe i was just after the silver & black-colored baseball jacket Mario wore last October for his Penshoppe Fan Con, being 1 of the newest endorsers of Penshoppe & being the 3rd international endorser of Penshoppe next to Mandy Moore who become Penshoppe's first international endorser in 2003 followed by Ed Westwick of Gossip Girl last September. (Well, i guess i want to try Ed's signature scent from Penshoppe, hope it's girl-friendly!) But the truth is, Ed & Mario are Penshoppe's first male international endorsers. We all know Ed as Chuck from Gossip Girl, right? The bad boy from NYC's Upper East Side that could always want Blair. While Mario was known for his role as Shone in A Crazy Little Thing Called Love, the hit movie that launched Mario's career not just in Thailand, but in the rest of Asia. But when Ed & Mario ended up as Penshoppe's top international endorsers, everyone just got started to go shopping at Penshoppe.

Great, i even remember the times that when i was a kid, i could always drop by at Penshoppe along with my mom, shopping for accessories & colognes. Mandy, Ed & Mario weren't their endorsers during that time because i was just a grade school kid back in the 90's when my mom & i got started to go shopping at Penshoppe. I even remember the glow-in-the-dark ring that i wore when i was in 3rd grade, i even remember the perfume spray that it's been a staple in my life as a 3rd Grader. But now, i guess i could find new staples before i had my High School life re-booted before entering college. Let's see, some new colognes that includes Ed Westwick's signature scent? Mario Maurer's silver & black-colored baseball jacket? Penshoppe Face It Make Up? Oh great, now i need to tell my mom that i want to go shopping at Penshoppe, maybe if it wasn't for their 2 new endorsers. But anyway, shopping at Penshoppe could bring back the crazy memories of Grade School, especially the times of 3rd Grade where that glow-in-the-dark ring was the start for me to tell my mom to go shopping at Penshoppe.
