Rain @ KBS Music Awards 2004

When I tell you I've been looking for a complete and clear version of this video for about a year, I'm not exaggerating.  I mentioned it on twitter recently and a very sweet Cloud named @CloudUnite posted this link for me like 2 seconds later.  Rain fans are so awesome.

If you like K-dramas...

I've been watching the K-drama "Protect the Boss" or "The Boss" and I haven't laughed so hard in awhile.  Here's a synopsis: After struggling with frequent unemployment and a series of failed job interviews, No Eun Sol ( Choi Kang Hee ) finally lands a job in a law firm as a secretary. Unbeknownst to her, her new boss is a man who she accidentally involved in a fight, getting the president of her new company in trouble. Protecting this secret, she begins working diligently for Cha Ji Heon ( Ji Sung ), the youngest son of a family corporation, an incredibly immature young man with secrets of his own. Through their working relationship, he begins to fall for her. Here's a really cute fan-made trailer for the show: Source: luchiaichigogirl Here's another video that shows just how immature said boss is: Source: TransparentDarkness The drama also has Jaejoong of JYJ fame playing Ji Sung's rival cousin and opposite in personality... h

Oooh TVXQ

An early '90s-ish, Jodeci-style slow jam, Kpop style that I've been listening to a lot recently. A friend of mine calls it the sex song.  Make sure to watch it in large screen HD to really appreciate every detail.  Source: sment What I think is hilarious: The slow-mo, beseeching hands and eyes, wind-blowing their tousled hair and clothing shots. What I love: The choreography and the fact that you wouldn't think you'd be hearing this sort of song coming out of their lips.  I also love the fact that Changmin (on the left, mostly) doesn't look like those sounds should come out that svelte body.  Especially love the dance break that starts at 3:27 and the extra special move at around 3:45. After seeing the fancams of them performing this at Madison Square Garden recently, all I have to say is, "Wow!"

Snowstorm Blues

Source: Nj.com There was a snowstorm on the east coast this past weekend that kicked NJ's ass. Who knew still having leaves on the trees would make the trees fall down when it snowed?? Craziness right? Talk about power outages up the yin yang. Finally got my power back a few days ago but now I'm waiting for the cable company to get their act together. Mother nature sure can be a bitch. I'll be back soon with more posts.

I'm in awe

This house is bad ass... I'm so in love. Designer Abigail Ahern's place in London. Source: the selby I love the eclecticism and darkness of her place.  The use of dark paint on her walls (I can't tell if it's black or what) is stellar and did you notice that incredible bookcase wallpaper in the left corner of the top pic?  Everything about her house is too, too cool.  I'd move in there in a hot second.  She really has inspired me to do some redecorating. See more pics of her lovely abode at The Selby.  

Some inspirations

Rain Goodness: Adidas

Out of the many ad campaigns Rain has had, this is definitely my favorite.

Don't Sleep On Korean Hip Hop!

I don't listen to all that much K-hip hop but when I do, I make sure it's some good shit.  These are my new jams of the month:

Why I Love Kpop (It's All Rain's Fault)

So for the past year I’ve been kind of obsessed with something. Obsessed in a good way, of course. That “thing” would be Kpop. I know…I know… You’re thinking either, “What the hell is Kpop??” or “Why would you be interested in all of that? You can’t even understand what they’re saying!” Well, let me tell you why and how I fell into that obsession and why it continues to this day. Really, it all started with a man named Rain. In June of last year I finally decided to watch the movie Ninja Assassin. I love martial arts movies and movies with great special effects and gore and this one promised to have it all, AND it was done by the Wachowski brothers. What more could I ask for? I’d missed it in the movie theater and had kind of forgotten about it. I had no idea who this guy Rain was and, actually, I’d been kind of scoffing at the fact that he used the word “rain” as his name. Anyway, I proceeded to watch. It was bloody, gory and had tons of martial arts… then this Rain guy showed up:

I’m feeling inspired…
