mariel07 is a girl who signed up 1 year ago. She owns some Kpops (308) and was last seen here about 3 months ago
We may still have activities in school for the next weeks but, I am now thinking of how to make my summer vacation productive as much as possible.
Well, I would be having self-study for college entrance exams but other than that, I think I would be using my time on reading or maybe learn and practice a little bit of guitar and piano.
For this week, we will have our Junior-Seniors Promenade. I don't even have anything to wear yet and it's on Saturday already..... *sigh*
(do you get what the title said?) Well, It's been almost a month ago when we got this chance.
It started when I was home alone because of our semestral break. I didn't used the computer immediately and I only watched tv. In the afternoon, I decided to go to facebook and I got a message from my sister (who is at her workplace at that moment). She said if I want to go to Korea next year. I thought she was joking so I asked her if she was kidding. She didn't reply after that.

I thought she was joking so I asked her if she was kidding. She didn't reply after that.
When she got home, she asked me if I saw the message and replied to it. I said yes then she laughed at my reply. She then said she was serious about it. Then, she told me about a seat fare that was on the internet. It was only P3,000 for a ride, a total of P6,000 pesos only for a round trip(of course, the passport and visa also cost something so add P1,000, only P7,000). We were so excited about it but we were not sure if our parents would allow us. So we'd thought of it for a few hours but when we made up our minds, the promo was sold out. Talking about bad luck.....
But, a week later, she texted me that she saw another promo and she booked it right away so that our chances wouldn't be wasted again. We're going to Korea next year!
I'm really excited for it! I can't believe that I'm actually going there soon! Now, only my closest friends know about it and I didn't really told about it to the others because I am scared that they may think that I'm too braggy and proud of it.
A follow-up question to the peeps in here who already went there: Can you suggest any place there that my sister and I could go to? Thanks! · close
We had our school Intramurals today (still tired....). So every year and grade levels had their own cheers, yells and dance performances. I only realized while watching, from pre-school and some of the high school and grade levels danced or used Gangnam Style on their performances. IDK, I think it's overused XD Gangnam Style is so popular it's really... wow.
Have you heard e.via's new song "I Know How To Play A Little"? It's AWESOME. I <3 U e.via!!!!!!!!
So..... This just happened a while ago at school. I brought my U-KISS Uchiwa fan at school because it's freakin' hot there all the time since the aircons at school have some problems with the connections. When my classmate/friend who also likes K-Pop and U-KISS (waahh!!!) borrowed that fan, my other classmate who also loves K-Pop and is a SONE began saying "EWW...." while pointing the fan.
I don't know..... I think I'm just butthurt with such a small moment. But ...

I don't know..... I think I'm just butthurt with such a small moment. But I think saying unpleasing words on others' bias group is not right. Definitely not right. If you don't want your bias group to get hurtful comments, don't do it to others too. 'Cause what you do to others, will return back to you. 'Treat others the way you want them to treat you' they say..... · close
I went to the auditions with 3 friends who will also audition. On the way, one of my friend asked me "Do you feel nervous?" I replied "No". I really don't know why I'm not nervous at that time. I think it's because we're not yet at school.
Many went to school for the auditions. And there were a LOT of people who audition CAN sing. I was 6th person who sang. When I got to the mic, I felt nervous that my voice went a little shaky. But I felt a little comfor...

Many went to school for the auditions. And there were a LOT of people who audition CAN sing. I was 6th person who sang. When I got to the mic, I felt nervous that my voice went a little shaky. But I felt a little comfortable after a few seconds. I don't know if I'll be chosen as one of the "Great 4". I'm hoping, but I accept that I wont be chosen. It's alright. I did this for experience too. So that when I'll join again next school year, I know what do (and because a 4th year student this year who always join the competition and always win will graduate this march and no longer be at our school, I'll be more confident that I'll be chosen! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!) .
I also watched the band fest auditions and the bands who auditioned were AWESOME! One of my close friends is a member of a band that auditioned (and the band that I'll be joining this summer!) got her lips grounded by the mic! Anyway, their AWESOME even though they're only 3! (Soon they'll be 4 because of the addition of ME!!! I'll be rhythm guitar and back-up vocals. That's why in my 'How do I spend my free time' part in my About has 'Practicing Guitar'.)
I'm still praying and hoping to be chosen.... 
Anyway, TEEN TOP got their 1st win on Music Bank! CONGRATULATIONS TEEN TOP!!! I

Wooh! I'm so nervous!!!!
Tomorrow would be the auditions of the contest that I'm joining (reference last journal entry. XD) And I'm gonna audition with Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This".
Only 4 people will advance to the finals (which made me more nervous....). But, I know that I can do it. I've proven to myself that I can do it if I try the last times that I joined this competition.

I'm a school choir member and I'm picked to be the main singer for the mass today at school. So, I had a little bit of practice. (LOL
Me and my friend(who is going to the auditions too and whose house is near to my house) went to church to attend the mass and prayed for tomorrow and for the throat blessing. XD.(The saint today is St. Blase who is the saint of diseases of throats or shortened, throats.). That's how nervous we are. We need to go to church to at least feel a little comfy... LOL.
Hope I'll do great tomorrow! · close
I can't believe that I just joined that competition again! Well, I believe (LOL)
My schoolmates and classmates forced me to join so.... I joined!
My classmate just said that if I joined, there are more chances of getting recognitions for our class... well, that's true....
My friends in other sections and my 2 classmates are joining in the songfest. WOOHOO GO SOPHOMORES!!!
I don't know what will I sing.... but I have some in mind. Because the theme is 90's to present...

I don't know what will I sing.... but I have some in mind. Because the theme is 90's to present, I picked either Avril Lavigne's "When You're Gone", Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" or "A Moment Like This". The auditions date is not yet announced but I have to be prepared. GO ME! · close
I hope you understand the title of this journal. XD
Yeah, People who don't like K-Pop doesn't understand what a K-Pop lover feels. And I just knew it yesterday and today.
Yesterday, Me and my friends gathered at a table so that we can practice for songfest at our school(we're going to join as a group but, the Cultural Club, the one who handles the songfest, didn't include the group category. TT_TT.... We had high hopes that we'll win that thing but.... We decided to go...

TT.... We had high hopes that we'll win that thing but.... We decided to go on the solo category. Which I will join too. Hihi....) Then, my classmate went to our table and offered to sell her SNSD's "The Boys" album which made me spazz and go crazy. LOL! I wasn't really planning to spazz because of SNSD. But, it's so flawless and so beautiful! And her copy of the album was imported from Korea! It was not the PH ver. (I don't know if "The Boys was released already here in the Philippines.) Then, my friend who was with us to practice was irritated with me. So she said "Tama na nga yan. Ang OA mo. (Stop it already. You're so overreacting.)" Because of that, I was so pissed and it also made the atmosphere awkward as ever.
Today, the same circle of friends I practiced with yesterday and I went to 7-Eleven (It was near at our school. We'll just go across the street and we're there. XD) to eat and hang out. This was a different friend from the first one. She was kinder. XD In the magazine rack, I saw a Sparkling magazine (Sparkling is a magazine(duh...) about K-Pop(duh..... again.)). I was squealing because HoMin was the cover story(and Kara....). She said "Bakit gustong-gusto mo ang K-Pop? (Why do you like K-Pop so much?)" I said "Kasi kahit na hindi mo naiintindihan yung lyrics at mga kung ano pang sinasabi nila, yung tunog yung nagustuhan ko sa K-Pop. Napaka-groovy, upbeat at modern. Dagdag mo pa yung singing and dancing skills nila at ang gwagwapo't gaganda pa nila! LOL! (Because even though you don't understand the lyrics and what they say, it's the tune that made me like K-Pop. It's so groovy, upbeat and modern. Also add their singing and dancing skills and their so handsome and beautiful too!)" She said "Kaya nga ayoko sa K-Pop kasi hindi ko nga naiintindihan. (That's why because I don't like K-Pop because I don't understand.)" That time, I don't have money. I only have P40 that time and that magazine is P150. But still, she helped me by hiding the magazine at the back of the other magazines so that no one will find it and I'll be able to find it the time I'll come back there. I really appreciated her kindness that time.
But still, she doesn't understand what I feel... because I also said to her that she can find english translations. But she said it makes the song funnier and more stupid. I don't know why she said that because translations help A LOT.
I don't care anymore. It's their opinion. They can like or unlike K-Pop. But for me.... I will stay a fan for a long time. Maybe forever. Haha!

September 11, 2010 ~> Rain w/ U-KISS "Intensity" Concert (at Mall of Asia Concert Grounds)
My father got a free ticket from the promoter of the concert, IDK or some producer..... He only got 1 ticket, but his job mate that was also given a ticket gave his to my father, so my father got 2 tickets.

He gave it to us (Me and my SHAWOL sister.... well, she's not a SHAWOL that time yet....) and we went to the venue. I watched the show and enjoyed it. Seeing U-KISS live was so memorable. They performed 3 songs, Bingeul Bingeul, Man Man Ha Ni and Mworago. And in an instant, I got to like them 'cause of their excellent performances that I felt it was really groovy and also on how they connect with their fans. They were really cute and that all started. I began researching about them and listen to their songs. And because I got to like them, I began to listen more of K-Pop. I began to like other groups. Even though Wonder Girls is the first K-Pop group I have known, U-Kiss got a greater impact. They introduced me to K-Pop. So, I thank U-KISS so much for getting myself to love K-Pop more. ^_^ · close
Well, It happened last Christmas vacation.... So, I was watching SHINee's Hello Baby because of Yoogeun.... LOL (Yoogeunie's so kawaii! X3). Then, my sister sees me watching it so she got interested. It all started with that. But my sister said she only got interested in SHINee because of the SuJu-SHINee connections (she's an ELF. She likes Eunhyuk SO MUCH. I don't know if she's still an ELF 'cause she found her new love. TVXQ, the old one. And she loves Xiah BIGTIM...

But I really think that's not the reason why she got interested with SHINee. Because I watched Hello Baby, she got interested with SHINee and did researches and listened to their songs... now she's a SHAWOL. It's not that I don't like SHINee, actually I like SHINee (especially Onew.... I'm a chicken addict too. LOLz). But I was trying so hard for the past months to make my sister like U-Kiss. Well, she likes U-Kiss now because she saw me watching U-KISS Vampire. But she still likes SHINee more. Well, I can't do anything about it anymore. It's her choice if she'll be a SHAWOL or not. It's not mine to make decisions for her..... LELz · close
