Who am I? I am a screwed-up blogger and an active blog reader since 2007. A soulful dreamer who believes that passion is life and a person who is looking for meaning, just like any other human being in this world. A super girl wannabe who is currently taking chances and chasing pavements, while keeping up with time and living life in general. This is me, and this blog is the outlet of my random thoughts. (^___^)
Most of the posts in this blog revolve around Asian dramas, movies and pop culture, so please proceed at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you. Haha! Have a wonderful and blessed day! :)

SNSD or more popularly known as Girls' Generation internationally is back with another album titled "Hoot". They haven't actually disappeared in the music scene, it's just that a few months ago, the girls have been very busy breaking through the Japanese market with their previous hit songs "Gee" and "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" respectively. When SM Entertainment announced that they will be debuting in Japan around the middle of this year, everyone thought that the girls would be staying there for a while to promote and to establish their name as a group. But then, without the knowledge of their fans, they have been secretly going back and forth from Japan to Korea in order to prepare for their 3rd mini album which was officially released yesterday for the fans to hear. This mini album has already received 150,000 preorders from fans and music listeners alike. So far, their Japan debut has been pretty amazing, with fellow Korean girl groups like 4 MinuteandKara who are sharing the same limelight and popularity with them in various Japanese music charts like Billboard and Oricon. And with the scheduled release of their title track's music video "Hoot" today, it seems that these girls will be racking up more money for their comeback this time around.
I have been listening to the album since yesterday, and one song caught my attention. It's a ballad called "Mistake" and what stood out to me is that it was written by Girls' Generation (SNSD) member Kwon Yuri. She's actually one of my favorite members in the group, and my younger brother likes her very much. She's very pretty and she's a good dancer too but I didn't expect that she had a potential in song writing. The song is good and it's my favorite song in the album. Not that I don't like the title track or the other songs included in it, but this one is just different from the usual cutesy Girls' Generation songs. The group is known for their upbeat, cheerful and cutesy songs with dance moves which are easy to copy but after this one, they should think of releasing more songs like ballads in the future. They have so much talent and potential, and their are many members who sing well in the group so I hope that they wouldn't put this to waste. Girls' Generation is definitely making a name for themselves all over Asia these days so I hope that they will continue to spread their love for music by providing fans and music listeners alike with good and wonderful songs.
If you want to know more about this group, let's go back on memory lane and revisit the group's previous hit songs since their 2007 debut. Most of the songs have english subtitles except for the 3D version of "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)". The official music video to "Hoot" however is rumored to be out today; however, I do have the full audio with english subtitles.

Two talented and young idol group members, Gayoon (4 Minute) and Yoseob (Beast) recently covered Gina Choi and Rain’s “What I Would Like To Do Once I Get A Lover”. This track that I recently featured in my previous posts, is one of the songs in Gina Choi’s debut album, that was fully released today. I find this song really cute because it’s from KPop’s younger generation of promising idols. Both groups are under the custody of Cube Entertainment, who also manages Gina’s singing career. 4 Minute debuted early 2009, months earlier than 4 their fellow label mate Beast (Otherwise: B2st). Because of this, both groups seem to have a close relationship, and it can be manifested by their numerous appearances and guestings in Korean variety shows since their debuts. I personally think that both their vocals are good.
Here’s the video of Gayoon and Yoseob that I promised in my previous post. I would like to appologize also because it doesn’t contain english subtitles. However, if you will try to view this video in youtube, you’ll see that it contains english subtitles if you activate cc.
If I have a boy friend, there’ll be so many things I want to do. I’ve dreamt I have a boy friend like that. The first, kissing him in the street. The second, catching the early train for Chooncheon with him. The third, going on a picnic with him. The fourth, the piggy back ride. The fifth, couple-ring is basic to our love. boo boo boo It’ll be really sweet. The thought of it makes my heart flutter. I’ll try to do every one a day with you. I’m so happy to be with you. I’m so happy we both are together You’re a real treasure to me. Baby baby baby baby baby boo~
If I have a girl friend, there’ll be so many things I also want to do. I’ve always envied another’s girl friend. The sixth, I’ll go to late night movies with you. The seventh, I’ll go to amusement parks with you. The eighth, I’ll hold a surprise event for you. boo boo boo I’ll be really happy bcause of you. The thought of it makes my heart flutter. I’ll try to do every one a day with you. I’m so happy to be with you. I’m so happy we both are together. You’re a real treasure to me. Baby baby baby baby baby boo~
I’ve been alone on my birthday. I’ve had nothing do on the weekend. But I’m eagerly looking forward to such named days. I’m so happy to be with you. I’m so happy we both are together.
Wherever we are, or whatever we do, Everyday what I really try to do with you, is to tell you, “I love you.” What I really want to hear from you, is such a word, “I love you” Thank you for coming to me. I’m so happy to be with you. You are my only love Baby baby baby baby baby boo~ Baby baby baby baby baby boo~
Not a lot of people know (or would even understand), but I am also a victim of drama obsession. I've been camping in dramalandia since I was 13 years old, and that's where you will most likely find me when I have nothing to do.
One of the symptoms of this disease is daydreaming about dramas everywhere whether you are at work, walking down the stairs, sleeping, even as you are walking...creepy isn't it? Hahaha!
I am also a big Asian music fan and I think Asian music rocks! I go back and forth from Cpop to Kpop and Jpop, so I may be different (and strange) compared to other people that you can find around. I am an elder sister , a dreamer , a believer , a gamer , wanderer , blogger , an optimist , an ultimate foodie and a, hands down, fangirl . I love reading books , writing , music , photography and traveling.
I am a nurse by profession who is also a copy editor and a freelance writer . I enjoy learning how to play musical instruments and learning various languages . I am crazy, loud, spontaneous, free-spirited and most of the time, a klutz.
Eren Asentista a.k.a. Eray, 23, female, from Dumaguete City, Philippines. My personality...it's complicated. :D Believe me, you wouldn't want to know who I am. Hahaha! XD
I am currently watching...
In the coming days, I plan to watch...
In Asian Entertainment, I fancy...
(This is still lacking, but this is more or less it. LOL! I will most likely be updating this in the future to accommodate my growing list of biases but check em out!)
The things that I want to do before I die are the following:
An Asian cruise. Templestay in Korea. An African safari adventure. Backpacking to Europe. Traveling through the European railways.
