Mail time! (Part 2)

When I got home from my Walmart/school supply run today, I found a package waiting for me on the stairs. I thought to myself, "YAYYY MY SHINee STUFF IS HERE!!" False alarm. It was my book for my Modern Asia class. 10 minutes later, my dad walks in the front door with the mail in his hand, holds up a small gray package and asks, "What's this?". I dash over to him in about half a second, snatch it out of his hand, and upon seeing the green Customs sticker on it, celebrate and cheer for a good 2 minutes.

Inside:

The mirror dog-tags and lock & key earrings will become permanent accessories. :)

New Twitter Account

@jlkpop

Just for the K-Pop trending topic missions and spazzes and whatnot.

I realized that I needed a separate one after last nights #KPOP TT mission. 51 hashtags in 4 hours. I'm pretty sure my non-kpop followers hated me.

I've been feeling less bloggy lately cuz there isn't much going on except 2PM and SHINee's goodbye stages. CN Blue's debut is doing well :)

I'll probably post more once Hello Baby starts airing and I can find/watch the subbed episodes and when 2AM's new album releases and their comeback stuff is on air.

Actually, the lack of spazzout-worthy things is good. Spring semester is about to start soon, and I won't have much time to focus on the loves. I have to study and get my bgirl-self back into shape.

Definitely check out my Tumblr. I post there almost every day because it's easier. Lots of eye-candy :) You can definitely see my biases.

K-Pop blog +1

I made a Tumblr blog for more of my K-Pop madness. It's going to be a huge collection of pics and videos and whatnot of the loves. Tumblr = massive source of eye candy. Go check it out!

And I just want to say, fuckyeahkpopmacros is the ultimate win of life.
"here to give you guys a good laugh (:
cause seriously, our kpop idols have the epik-est faces ever ."

Schooling

Made my mom watch today's JoJo performance on MuCore on the live stream. She says she likes Onew. Yay! And then I made her and my sister watch a bunch of random 2PM and SHINee videos and dumped some K-Pop knowledge on them. I'm slowly K-Pop-ifying people :D This is fun. Pwahahaha.

Terminology

If you've actually been reading my blog, you'll see that I will sporadically use Korean terminology. For those of you don't understand the random words I'm saying, I am here to explain them. (Some of the spelling might be off. I'm using the spelling I normally see on the subbed videos I watch.)

umma = mother (informal, usually used by kids)
appa = father (informal, usually used by kids)
hyung = older boy (used by boys)
oppa = older boy (used by girls)
noona = older girl (used by boys)
unni = older girl (used by girls)
dongsaeng = younger boy/girl (used by both genders)
sunbae = senior, superior, elder
hoobae = junior
aegyo = cuteness, acting cute
jjang = the best, coolest (Not to be confused with Jjong, which is Jonghyun's nickname. Jjong, however, is also very jjang! lol)
daebak = big win, success
omo = Korean equivalent of OMG

And for those of you who don't know, each idol group has their own fan club and each fan club has it's own name.

This is the only compiled list of names I could find. (Some of them are incorrect.)
http://kpoprants.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/%E2%96%BA%E2%96%BAwhats-your-fan-club-tag/

I'm a Shawol (SHINee), Hottest (2PM), I AM (2AM), VIP (Big Bang), Blackjack (2NE1), A-Plus [A+] (MBLAQ), and whatever f(x)'s fans are going to be called.

That's it for the terminology for now. I'll put this in a link thing in the side menu.

Oh look...

I changed the name of my blog from "Obsessive Love" to "Joelle Loves K-Pop". Now, why did I do that?

Answer: Because "Obsessive Love" just wasn't doing it for me. It also sounded weird. And since the URL for this is indeed http://joelleloveskpop.blogspot.com, it only made sense to actually name it to match.

One of these days, I'm going to get around to making a proper header banner for this blog. It's an expected thing for me to do, since I am a Graphic Design student. Now wait, don't get me wrong. Don't think that I'm going to do it because it's "expected of me". I really do want to make one, but I can't decide if I want to include everyone in it or just the guys listed in the "My Heart (Especially) Beats For" section. OR maybe not even all of them, maybe just Taec and Key, because I love them the most. Iono! Agh! I think I'm getting delusional. It's only 2AM. (haha! this was not intentional...mmm Changmin, Jinwoon, Seulong, Jokwon...okay yes, I am getting random now) I have gone to sleep much much later than this. Yesterday, actually. I went to sleep at like 5:30am because I was reading SHINee fanfics and watching Dream Team (Season 2 w/ Minho).

Oh yeah! Random thing: My sister wants to name her next Tamagotchi "Khun". Pwahaha! She's hooked. Yes, she has a Tamagotchi still. 2 in fact AND she got them this past Christmas. And yes, she's in college and still wants to play with Tamagotchis. There's something about our generation that still loves their childhood toys/games/etc. I think it's because we had the best stuff. For example: Pokemon, the OG Power Rangers, Neopets, etc. The 90's rocked!

Okay, this post got extremely random. My brain is fried. I went back struck through the non-K-pop related stuff. I don't want to delete it though because I like going back when I'm coherent and laugh at how random my thoughts are.

Cutting down...

on SHINee and 2PM. Not because I want to, but because I'm forced to.

SHINee is only doing schedules until the 15th and then there's a gap of nothing and then they're doing fan meetings from the 26th to the 30th. *sigh* Such a big decrease in broadcasts for me to spazz over.

2PM's is even worse! They stop doing 1:59 album promotions on the 10th and won't be back until April with their new album. Yay for working on a new album, but a whole 3.5 months without my guys is going to be TORTURE. And Jay, now would be a good time to go back to Korea, get in on the new album action, and make me and the rest of the K-Pop world extremely happy.

However, I am glad that my guys are going to get more rest. They definitely deserve it.

And regarding GD, this situation is ridiculous. I support him and his artistic freedom. That's all I'm going to say.

As a general rule, I am not going to write too much about controversies here. I want this blog to be an enjoyable one.

Anyways, back on topic! Just because there will be a lack of recent activity from my favorite guys, doesn't mean that I won't be posting stuff less often. If anything, there will be even more. I still have a lot of others to write about: 2AM, f(x), MBLAQ, 2NE1, etc. Also, I will probably be pic spamming like crazy instead of video spamming :)

And speaking of videos, I was going back through my entries and saw that most of (if not all) the Gayo Daejun videos were taken down. *sigh* I'm not going to go through the tediousness of finding all the videos again. I did it once already.

Helpful suggestion on searching for K-Pop stuff on Youtube:
The date of the broadcast/event in YYMMDD form (i.e. December 29, 2009 = 091229) + Artist name(s)
I don't think this has ever failed me.

Okay, this has turned into a pretty random post...bye...for now...
