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! :)

I really like this song from Gina Choi (G.na). It's called "I Will Back Off So You Can Live Better". She’s the newest Cube Entertainment singer, who debuted last week in the stages of various Korean music programs like Mnet Countdown, Music Bank, Music Core & Inkigayo. This song features Beast’s Junhyung as a rapper, and Beast’s Doojoon in the music video. It’s actually one of those hurtful break-up songs where the guy doesn’t feel the same anymore, and you’re left with no choice but to let him go because he wants to break it off with you. Good high range vocals is definitely a good way to come out strong in the entertainment business these days. The RnB flavor plus good dancing is also a hit. I personally think she’s the best solo artist who debuted this year so far.
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~
I was trying to studying metabolism and cellular aberration only to end up playing this song over and over again. It's from Gina Choi (otherwise called G.na), an up and coming singer from Cube Entertainment, who is set to debut in a line-up of Korean music programmes this week, starting from Music Bank today, Music Core tomorrow (Saturday), and finally Inikagayo the next day (Sunday). This might be her debut album, but she is definitely not a newbie to the music industry, because she has been training for quite a while now. In Korea, in order to become a singer, one has to become a trainee first. Before becoming an official idol, an aspiring star must undergo years of training in different areas like singing, dancing, acting, and even learning different kinds of languages like English, Chinese and Japanese among others. It is a prerequisite in most entertainment agencies primarily because of the emergence of the Hallyu Wave (Korean Wave) over the years. Because Korean actors and singers have gained varying degrees of popularity in various Asian countries and the rest of the world (be it in dramas, movies, or songs), a singer-to-be has to have the capacity to reach out to fans from different cultures. Most idol stars today went through the same thing before stepping on the limelight. But in Gina's case, she spent her "initiation stage" as I call it, quite longer compared to her colleagues.
She was set to debut as a lead singer in a girl group called "Five Girls" in 2005, but that never happened because the group's then company had financial issues at that time. The notable members of this girl group project used to include Wonder Girls member Yubin, T-ara's Jiwon (who quitted a few months after a T-ara's debut), After School's UEE, and Secret's Hyosung, who all debuted earlier than her in the aforementioned girl groups. In 2008, they disbanded and each member moved to different agencies. She then trained for JYP Entertainment (famous for helming the music career of World Star Rain and currently houses popular groups like Wonder Girls, 2PM, 2AM and recently, Miss A). A while back, it was known that she moved to Cube Entertainment alongside rising groups 4 Minute and Beast, who both came to the Philippines not to long ago.
It looks like Gina's long wait for the start of her music career is finally over. A few days ago, she released her title track "What I Want To Do Once I Have A Lover", which features the vocals of none other than the man himself, Rain (Real Name: Jung Ji Hoon). This girl should really hold on tight. Looks like her road to fame is starting on the right track. Her former band mates might have enjoyed the limelight before her; however, because she's coming out as a solo singer this time, her debut is more promising as ever, without the extra baggage.
Recently, Cube Entertainment released a teaser featuring Beast member Yoon Doojoon in Gina's upcoming music video. It can be viewed at:
By the way, she was also featured in one of 2PM's older videos, "10 Points Out Of 10". Here it is:
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.
