- Jo Kwon coming into the Kpop world was just...the best day ever. I feel like Kpop gained a little more fabulousness because of him. AHAHA XDDD He's like a gayer Key. He is what Key aspires to be when he grows up.
- I feel like I would enjoy 4minute a lot more if Hyuna were not in it. It's her baby voice, it just makes me want to punch her in the face. I know they told her to use that voice but geez. And she just has the spotlight ALL THE TIME. She gets even more screentime than the leader. But as far as girl groups go, I don't really care for them at all. Hyuna and Jiyoon (hereafter known as Shades, if ever this group is mentioned again in this journal, which is highly unlikely because quite frankly, they suck) are the only ones I can remember.
- My sister said that she knew the right spot to poke me if she ever wanted me to have explosive diarrhea (wtf, Ela). She then starts poking me in the cheek to the tune of Hot Issue.
- I am so behind in my schoolwork. I stopped taking notes in EU191.1 AGES ago so I have no idea where we are or what we're even discussing, and I haven't attended a single EU111 class due to the fact that my prof was absent for two meetings and I was gone for the next two because I cut for OrSem and because I was sick. GAH, STUDENT FIRST, KAYE, FANGIRL SECOND. T___T
- CL is officially my girlcrush, manlike no make-up pictures be damned.
Like. REALLY. I re-read books 6&7 while I was sick and I was just all overcome with emotion all over again. When all else fails, I return to the HP books. They're like coming back to an old friend. I think I first read them when I was in the fifth grade and they were just a huuuge lifesaver for me because I was getting bullied at the time. I had always been an avid reader but when the HP books came out, I pretty much just lived in my head and that's how I survived the bullying, no joke.
I ALSO REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO WATCH THE TIME-TRAVELER'S WIFE ALREADY. Except I'm kind of meh about Eric Bana. He has no chin. Which, I guess, is why they cast Rachel McAdams. Her face is one huge chin.
The first day was kind of fail. They were introducing themselves like, "Hi, I'm so-and-so and I'm 16/17 years old," and I kept going in my head, "HOLY SHIT I'M OLD!" But that wasn't the fail part. I couldn't make them run and they were kind of unresponsive. My energy level was kind of low as well because despite the yummy, yummy food they had for us, my stomach just WOULD NOT TAKE THE FOOD and I actually felt like vomiting when I was running around.
But then wow, 180 degree change for the second day! They were RUNNING! And they had ENERGY! And they were yelling, "FIGHTER!!" whenever I'd go, "When I say M1, you say fighter! M1!" I felt...probably like how a mom would feel when her baby finally says, "mama." It was seriously the best feeling ever.
:3
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS.
It's actually my Mom's, though. She's just "letting me use it because I need it for school." But I strongly feel that it will be mine, oh yes. Mmmhmm. It will be mine. Soon.
Good news though, my Mom has finally caved. She is buying me a laptop. WOOOT WOOOOO~~!! She's giving me a budget of 25-35k to work with. No problem, since I just really need a netbook for now (you know, those baby laptops?) but Dad's not going to be happy with her. He said that he'll buy me one when I graduate (um, yes, give me one when I don't have papers to write anymore) because if I get one now, I'll never come home/come out of my room. FALSE, because I'm not hooking the house up for Wifi. One of the reasons why it's so hard to work at the desktop is because of the Internet access.
I really want the HP Mininote for the regular sized keys (My fingers are huge) but the screen is a little smaller than I would like and it's slow because the newer ones all run on Vista now. I'm thinking of getting the Acer Aspire, though. I already texted my Mom yesterday ("The Acer Aspire series is less than 27k. It's very small. I like blue, hint hint :)")
Rar.

Spanish was slightly better today. I really like Senorita Young. Of all the teachers I've had (lol, I've only had 3--Senor Capili, Senora Torres and Senorita Young), she's the one who forces me to think faster. I think it's because this class is relatively bigger than my previous classes. Still can't get over those two Chinese girls, Julietta (ohhh~) and Isolda, who speak better Spanish than I do (I made a mistake in my last post; they're not Korean). Also, check out my new shirt:

What I need now is a 2PM shirt. Are you reading this Mish?? Get into 2PM so you can make a 2PM shirt next :DDDD
EDIT: Holy shit, I should stop stalking OMTD and study. GAAAAAHHH I'm still in summer mode.
Call me Kaye. I'm 19 years old and a junior at Ateneo de Manila University. My major is European Studies, International Relations track and I'm minoring in Hispanic Studies and History. Whew. I like all kinds of food (my talent is to eat, seriously) and I am trying desperately to gain weight without getting flabby, a battle that I am currently losing because of my general lack of exercise and a diet of greasy cafeteria food (two lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays!) People have told me that I look pretty intimidating, but I think that's because I'm pretty tall (5"7 1/2) and my default face is kind of...expressionless, but I'm a nice person. Really. I just have a temper. :D
I'm into Supernatural (the TV series). it kind of pisses me off that we only get the latest season NOW in the Philippines while it's already finished in the US but meh. What can you do? I don't download anything bigger than music videos or music (they are often of the Korean variety) off the Internet because my DSL is kind of a bitch. My mission for this year is to convince my parents to buy me a laptop. I'd save up for it myself, but I'm also saving up for a trip to Seoul.
So. Today we had TNT training. TNT stands for Talks and Tours, the group of people that give the freshmen their orientation. We were supposed to have the OrSem the weekend before school started but swine flu's a bitch so the administration put the kibosh on the whole shebang. There's a lot more work involved this year because we actually have to convince the freshmen to come and be all excited about it as they probably think they won't need it anymore, having toured themselves plenty in the two weeks before OrSem. Still, if we pull it off then we're awesome. It's HARD because TNT's don't have energy. They have ENERGYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! I mean. We didn't even really do anything except group dynamics and I'm exhausted. What more on the actual OrSem when we have to sprint from building to building around yelling, "MOB! MOOOOOOOOOOB!!" at the freshmen?
('Mob' in case you were wondering, is short for 'mobilize' so it's not just a random word that we're yelling just for kicks.)
I don't know who actually had the patience to read this through (It's kind of long-winded O_O) but on a final note, I have Spanish tomorrow and I have these two native Korean speakers in my class and they totally speak better Spanish than I do. If that's not a call to start cracking down on the damn language, I don't know what is.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...
questions from
1. how did you come up with your username? (it's so intriguing haha)
2. what's some of your biggest pet peeves?
3. what's your favorite time of the year?
4. how did you get into kpop?
5. would you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
( I've just seen a face I can't forget )
I was supposed to have class today but apparently my prof is in quarantine. HAHA, GRIPE PORCINO!!
(I just really wanted to use this .gif because Woo Young looks like my very solemn young cousin. I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT.)
May 2: A hairy vagina is an unhappy vagina.
June 4: I had this dream that I put holy water on my airplane seat, then our plane crashed and I was still in the air.
June 13: Pag na-discover ka na ni JYP, ako yung mag-popost ng mga embarrassing pictures mo sa mga forums [When you get discovered by JYP, I'm in charge of posting your embarrassing pictures on forums.]
June 16 (a conversation between me and my sister):
Ela: Ate Kaye, do you smoke?
Kaye: Of course not.
Ela: Stop avoiding the question. You can tell me! I won't tell anyone. Do you smoke?
Kaye: Of course not.
Ela: STOP AVOIDING THE QUESTION.
The rain is making me feel really lethargic. And I'm kind of angry because I got my legs waxed yesterday (I was kind of bummed out for some really shallow reason that I don't feel like sharing and when I'm bummed, I spend money on things that I want but normally don't have the guts to get because they're kind of expensive--I think I have to get rid of that habit) and I can't even show it off because it's cold and wet.
Well. Other people wear miniskirts in the rain. But then again, they're all hatid-sundo from school. I walk home and nearly fell on my ass earlier because the sidewalk was so goddamn slippery.
I’m an hour into my first day (got to school at 8 even though my first and only class is at 11:30 because I really hate commuting) and already my heart’s all a flutter. I love first days and everything associated with them. New teachers, new notebooks...the new sea of humanity that comes with the trading in of the seniors with the freshmen...on the first day of school, not even morning traffic annoys me. I’m a humongous nerd, I swear to God, I even like to open my new books and breathe in that new book smell.
I ought to get my ass offline and start working on coherent answers for Spanish. Save for the occasional ‘hola’ and ‘adios,’ I didn’t practice AT ALL this summer so I’m super rusty. I’m pretty sure my prof will be all, “What did you do this summer?” so I have to have an answer that isn’t, “UM.”
I've got I Wanna Hold Your Hand stuck in my braaaaaain. Sadly, not the cool retro version with Ringo Starr bobbing his head as he drums to the beat. I've got the girl version from Across the Universe.
So my LJ doesn't totally die out on me (Facebook is evil), have a meme.
The problem with LiveJournal is that we think we're close, but really, we know nothing about each other.
So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me, something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about, or something you've always been curious about but have never asked, or something completely silly that you'd like me to answer for kicks. No limits on the range of questions, either: ask me anything you want to know about, whether it's a fannish opinion or a question about a fic of mine or trivia about my real life or my thoughts on events in the offline world.
I wish my dad played doofy games like that with me when I was a baby. I remember my baby self biting him on the leg a lot like a demented puppy and dancing 'I'm a Little Teapot' a lot, but that's about it for the cuteness.
Hey, that rhymes. :D
But it hurts like a mother. T__T
It's been two days and I have discovered that nobody should trust me near any stove-like object as my selective amnesia span leads to burning, and my short temper leads to fits of rage and crying jags. Last night my dad was boiling beef to make into mami. He spent three hours on it and I forgot to pour another cup of water into the pot and the beef ended up getting burned. There's a mangled piece of metal in our kitchen right now, the tongs that my dad mangled, no doubt to keep from wringing my neck.
That is all.
Subtle, yes? I swear, my Mom totally thinks we're insane. The fact that she sometimes catches us dancing to Girls' Generation and the Wonder Girls does not help.
Today we had lunch at my grandma's house. The best thing about having lunch over there is that there's A LOT OF FOOD and the food is always good. Like today we had two huge sushi/make platters, lechon, chicken, caldereta and some sort of salmon dish. I was pretty much full for the whole day. The worst part is having flashbulbs in your face all the time. All my relatives are budding photographers, you see, and there are at least two cameras per family. It's nuts, but also funny.
Same goes for Love Story. SHIT man. SHIT.
"HIS KNIFE IS MADE WITH REAL EDWARD CULLEN!"
Hahaha, good times. Anyway, the real quote I wanted to share is this:
Yi Jeong: Nice girls always want happy endings. I may be cool but I'm not a nice guy.
Ga Eul: You should forget the notion that nice girls will always want nice guys.
Which is true. :D Also

Ock Taecyeon (and 2PM) makes me happy in my heart. It's quite nutty, actually, but if for some strange reason I could actually be in a Korean boyband, I would want to be in 2PM. They're all...sufficiently insane.
Which, I guess, is totally the wrong attitude because it is my lack of appropriate clothing more than anything that prevents me from going to parties. God.
What exactly does one wear to a black and white themed debut held in a bar anyway? Can I wear pants? Do I have to wear a short dress? Does it count as black and white if my dress has a bit of yellow on it? And what am I supposed to do with my hair? I can't just pull it up in my usual ponytail. As it is, I think my hairline is receding.
OHHHH I wish I had an older sister.
