i'm in love with my new icon &hearts~ suave chun is suave *___*

thanks to chunaday for the picture \o/

this movie had convinced me of several things.
(  i don't care about the hundreds of thousands of yoochun's fans who were screaming in jealousy at the abundance of lovey-dovey scenes in DoE, personally i think it NEEDS TO HAVE MORE!!! )

first they say that they're going to australia. and some part of me went, "oh hey they're supporting changminnie~~"

then now they say that they're in japan. juuust entered japan about half an hour ago, in fact.

okay....but for what?? o.O???

BreakOut promotional activities shouldn't have started now, coz changminnie's still in AUS, right? they wouldn't let the poor magnae travel back and forth AUS-JPN just so he could do promo activites while doing drama at the same time, right? i mean, the flight most probably took more than 10 hours! 0____0

then again, knowing SME, it could happen, of course... but it shouldn't!!! 0____0


coming back to the topic, what is JCS doing in japan now????

*screws up face watching changmin sings*

he looked so....dead >_< *hugs changminnie* he must be so tired, flying back and forth between drama filmings and live performances. and this is just the beginning...

changminnie, ganbare for the next 2 days too! >_

fondest memory should be me graduating. in fact the whole of my BA year was memorable. fashion show day was like THE big day for us, but it was the preparation that till now remains strongly imprinted in my head. love all my classmates and lecturers.

low points... maa, should be when jaechunsu decided to sue SME, ne? that in itself was quite alright, but when i started reading comments from fans who turn their back, the anxiety that fans would be divided in their opinion, that is the low point of this year. i mean, i'm worried at their situation, but at the same time i'm more worried with the fans' reaction, coz if a fight break out, or if a division is created amongst the fans, that would be very sad, and i'm sure they would be very sad too. so, i'm actually as anxious for the fans as i am for JCS's situation..

most significant event, again, it's my graduation, and my brother's. heck, yes i wish i could do another year of BA, and i think most of my friends and some of the lecturer do too v__v i love my BA batch!!

i need something new to do on the net. other than f-list browsing, and the obligatory fb and mail-checking, that is.

i'd like to try on fic-writing. but i tend to get lost in the planning and never actually get on to writing it til finish -_-

i thought they would be in Japan til Music Station Super Live?? what the hell are they doing coming back so fast??

while i'm back here in sg accompanying my aunt for medical treatment, i haven't been checking my f-list for several days, since friday to be exact. i'm pretty apprehensive about catching up with news (how much bad news can pop up and how even more bitchy can SME be within these few days?) and i've decided to stay out of f-list til i can spare one complete day to devote myself to it and the news it brings.

and i just realised that without f-list, i have barely anything to do on the net 0_0 so, here's a blessing for all of you fanfic writers out there who are still up and about giving me things to read on the net xD

some people might see it as a confirmation towards an unreconcilliable relationship with SME, not to mention a crack in the 5.

but i choose to believe the best in them. even if i might look like a foolish person, at least i know i'm being a faithful fan *shrugs* some says love is blind, and so i agree.

even with all the controversy that JCS rose by going to MAMA, nobody can deny that cassiopeia so badly want to see the boys. and i believe that it's important to keep their presence felt in korea too, even with all these happenings. after all, after this they're gonna head to Japan for more activities. korean cassiopeia need some love too...

and since SME's doing all they could so that the boys and cassiopeia don't keep in contact, this might be a good opportunity to still reach out their hands to cassies. i have faith in the boys and, more importantly, in cassiopeia. they wouldn't disappoint each other. i hope this meeting would bless both sides with some strength and courage, the boys from cassies, and cassies from the boys.

my cousin's engagement party will be held on the same day (and same time, i dare guess) as MAMA, and since i gotta travel out of town for that, i wouldn't be here to keep track on what's gonna happen til much later. and so, i'll just send my wishes now and prayer now for all cassiopeia who are still holding on strong til this day.

cassiopeia, don't lose heart, and don't put each other down. we need to stay strong and united, and i have faith in all of us!

cassiopeia, always keep the faith. dbsk, hwaiting!

btw laurana1 had made a very interesting post that cheered me up somewhat =D click here for the summary of what have been happening in the past few weeks in a very simple and easy way to understand even for the non-fans.

what worries me is that, even though jaechunsu's lawyer has come up and released a statement, one that condemned SME's dirty tricks and advise for them not to dig their own grave deeper, there are absolutely no words regarding the so-called statements from homin and no reaction against homin's parents' slander.

and that really worries me.

...coz, silent = affirmation, not?

i was just watching the 2nd bigeast fanclub event, and was laughing at their antics and how dorky and hilarious they are, really, when out of a sudden i remembered what's going on and a terrible sadness descended upon me...

if you remember 2nd bigeast fanclub event, the way they were sitting on those tables.....

... i'm crossing my fingers that tomorrow would be a better day...


edit: happy belated birthday, ryochan! it just passed midnight and admist all the things happening i forgot >_<

and, happy birthday, pata! don't drink too much!

...i'm very worried and scared for the boys.


as much as i'd like to regard the homin (+parents) claims as false/wrong/rumour, unless someone come up with an official statement soon, i don't have anything else to hang upon.


i need a hug.


all Cassiopeia need a hug right now. if you know one nearby you, go give it to them now.

how to recover from "read an annoying article on sunday morning" event so that the rest of your sunday doesn't go downhill from there?

if the said "annoying article" is related to jaechunsu lawsuit, then only the boys can cure you from its side effect.

my recommendation is: watch AADBSKIII couple talk. they're full of sweet comments that will leave you grinning like an idiot in front of the screen. warning: also comes with a high dosage of awkward moments and uncomfortable pauses!

i've only watched a little bit of jaesu and jaechun, like a minute of each, and in that short minute jae managed to make me blush and giggle like mad...

i think i've visited cdjapan website about 100 times in these few days, waiting for my cds to be dispatched... but nooo they're not hurrying! they're waiting for one single, one friggin regular-edition single, and just because of that they've not shipped the rest of my cds...

arghhhh i want to listen to Ascendead Master already!!!! >___<

i've been neglecting and procrastinating and dragging doing any of my work while i'm sitting in front of the comp.

and i'm blaming it all on linda.

if i've never declared anyone as my favourite fanfic writer before, she's gonna be the very first one to get the title.

love. her. fics. to. death.

period.

i didn't know thwt GIF files, when brought into sony ericsson cellphones, will still work as it is inside the phone *____*

thinking of all possibilities of creating tvxq gifs for wallpapers xD if anyone know any good (read: funny, hilarious, touching, touchY xD) NEWS or TVXQ gif images, please drop me a comment ^^

i followed NEWS winter party Diamond Tour from october last year to beginning of this year, and tohoshinki is currently having their tour too. last week they went to Kobe and this week would be Saitama. i've joined the (i think) major communities for both news and tvxq in hope of being able to follow closely what the idols are doing. but, different fandom, different idols and different fans, ne? i'm still new in tvxq comm, but while reading my f-list (and contents of both commas), i've felt the difference already.

firstly, similarities. of course, fancams, fanaudios, papparrazzi pictures and stories, ne? how else would fans brag about their encounter with the idols apart from those. usually they go to the cons, take pictures of con venues and goods (light sticks, pamphlets, uchiwas, whatever they happen to buy), some would sneak in recording device and somehow a recording or two of the performance would leak to the net, and they would later write about the con from their point of view.

the difference is the way they call this 'story' that they write. in NEWS fandom, we call it "fan report" while as in tvxq fandom it's called "fan account". but no matter what it's called, stories written by fans about tour concerts are highly sought after. fans loove to read more about their idols, and since no magazine or newspaper ever covered enough of it (how could they just write a simple, "XXXX is going to perform in YYYY venue at ZZZZ time. XXXX group is blablahblah" kind of article when they're performing differently at different venue at different time each time? simply not enough!), fans resort to fans who would write (in extensive details!) about their idols.

fan reports vary in format and content, because it's a semi-personal reflection of the concert. we see the concert from the eyes of the writer. that's why a good fan-report writer who goes to a lot of cons is very precious. they have the ability to transport us, the readers, to the venue, to the concert, and sit there with them throughout the concert. some of the best fan-report writer i've encountered wrote about anything and everything related to the con: the journey to the con venue (and collectively noticing numerous other fans heading in the same direction), the venue itself, other fans, the performance, what happened in the performance, how it ended, highlights of the con, random observations, conclusions taken from random observations, everything! i'm talking, of course, about daelite-san. by the end of reading her fan-reports, i felt like i've been there in person, watching the cons myself. and since she went to A LOT of NEWS cons in their last tour, i felt like i've somewhat followed their tour too ^^

by the way, i don't think daelite-san post her fan reports up in the community. so, i guess i have to ganbatte and start fishing out good fan-report writers in the tvxq comm for tohoshinki's current tour.

another difference in the fandom is, of course, the fans. i think youtube has a lot of evidence of this, but some of tohoshinki's fans are really quite wild. i don't usually see NEWS getting mobbed by fans, they almost always able to keep their distance away from fans who are waiting in airports, perhaps that's why they can afford a smile and a wave or two to the fans. but tohoshinki has maniacal fans who take pics right in front of their faces, who come close just to throw a bag at them and so on... it's really quite scary...

which is why when ayase123-san went to Haneda airport and happened to catch them coming back from korea (they only have 2-day break, and i bet they weren't resting when they were in korea!) and able to catch them with her cam, it's so relieving to see them being able to exit the japanese airport in peace. especially since junsu is still on the wheelchair.

everytime i see idols getting mobbed by fans (usually it's at airports), and they show their not-idol-like side and fans retaliate and other fans support them by saying that the idols are nasty, i feel like knocking the fans' heads to the wall. come on, people, idols are HUMANS too! and you are humans too! try imagining your life being published onto the net 24/7, every single gesture is photographed, every single person you meet is written about, every single place you went to gets featured in some fan blogs or forums, imagine that your life is not yours anymore but your fans'...

it's a crazy job, being an idol. they're not selling a product, a service or technique, they're selling themselves! and still we can't get enough of them! we want more, more and more! try having that kind of lives and imagine one of those little papparrazzi creeters suddenly stood right in front of you with a camera 25 cm away from your face and clicking, see if you wouldn't explode!

you know they're adorable people if they're not cornered. give them space! and some privacy while you're at it. stalking them to homes sounds like a perfect thing to do to brag to your friends and the rest of the fandom (heck i was planning to hunt yochan's house down if one day i'm in LA -_-) but you're just making them miserable. yes, they might be grateful for the gestures at the start of their carreers, but once they got big (and, yes, tohoshinki IS big now), such gestures will become a burden and, soon, a hindrance and, finally, a source of misery.

if you love your idols enough, try giving them space and privacy. be more like the fans at the haneda airport in ayase123-san's fancam. they wave to them and show their excitement, but they stood still. ...well, at least most did. i know it's impossible, and perhaps ayase123-san only got realllly lucky that most other fans didn't know they would be coming at haneda and thus no mobs were seen. but at least try and be one of the more sensible fans. there are sensible fans out there, in fact i think that most of us are sensible. it's just that the crazier and more lunatic ones are the ones who are always remembered. it's kinda sad at how they looked more at peace when they came to japan than when they went back home to korea.

gee, i didn't start blogging to give a lecture like this O.O after all, goodness knows what i would do if i happen to catch any of my idols live in person -_- but hopefully, at that time, i would still be able to keep my senses and not storm all over them like some mental-ward escapee.

it's enough that they have numerous crazy fans out here who does crazy things like watching their clips 24/7 from youtube or making GIfs out of their clips like nobody's business, but at least we don't disturb them or stalk them, ne?


okay, parting gift before i go to school:
