Tohoshinki wears Ato S/S 2009

I miss talking about my boys. For months I’ve been MIA to my favorite fandom. Don’t worry Tohoshinki still is number 1 in my heart. Chos. I found out through tvxqfever that my boys were wearing a famous Japanese fashion brand during their The Secret Code concert. The brand in question is ATO. Gorgeousness! Here are my boys vs. the models. What amazes me is that they wore the clothes exactly straight from the runway.

Here they are in action. This is a fancam but the quality is quite good. The focus is Junsu. I wish I could’ve seen Yunho more.

SHINee for Numero

I see Raf Simons and I see Alexander Mcqueen. SHINee should dress more like this. And Minho looks incredibly dashing here.

Set aside your iPod playlist. You must listen to these RIGHT NOW

The amazing Dragonette is back. This time they’re collaborating with Martin Solveig and Jean Paul Gaultier (!!!) for Boy and Girl. The song is amazing of course. More poppy than Dragonette’s debut effort but definitely better. It’s sad that this band didn’t make it big despite their genius. Their debut album Galore was my soundtrack the whole of 2007. I hope this is a sign that they’ll be making a comeback soon. I’m excited! And yeah, all those beautiful clothes (in the video) were by JPG and it was filmed in his atelier.

Clazziquai’s Love Again might just save Kpop. They’ve been around for quite awhile but this is my first time hearing a song of them. And my gosh, I’m in love again! Pun intended. The song is like a Red One production with some Zero 7 thrown in for good measure. It’s pretty repetitive which pretty much is the Kpop aspect of the song. All in all, it is a welcome refreshment from the swarm of idol groups plaguing Korea right now.

OMG. Never had I been this excited for a band since… well, MGMT. Haha. I had such great expectation from MGMT but I never really got into their music. Now, thanks to Alienhits, I found this great Australian band The Galvatrons. Yes, that’s a Transformers reference. Cassandra has the best song opening EVER. Just gorgeous.

Bullets

Seriously, I’m trying my best. Haha. But I’m taking a short break now. Will have to go back to work in an hour. I know I should be focused and all but I can’t just neglect my online duties. LOL. Sooo hard to work in this place. Our backyard is literally a forest. Like, huge trees, a creek and lots of noisy insects. Sound of nature. The insects especially make me sleepy. All the people here are asleep now and I’m the only one awake. Lifehouse is on the background and they’re not helping.

I’ll have to wrap up all my thoughts in bullets.

• Harry Potter is next week na! And the IMAX in SM North will open at the same time. I wanna watch it there. But I heard tickets costs 500 bucks. Oh well. I love Harry so much so I’ll be reserving a ticket today. That’s a thousand down the drain already. But what the heck. Harry better deliver!!!

• Starting today I’m cutting on my social networking addiction. I already left Multiply. Chictopia and a bunch of other forums are next. Yeah. Updating all these sites is work. I’m fine with just blogging and Facebook. For now.

• I have a new crush. He’s young(er), really cute, a fashion designer and ummm… really cute. He’s Thai.

• My belly and my annoying cheeks are getting fatter and fatter. All I do is eat. Gawd. I should go to the gym. I hate it that I always crave for something sweet. Argh. Right now I’m thinking of the ube flavored hopia that our next door neighbor is selling. Will buy some after I finish this.

• Last I week I had my nails painted black. Now it’s chipping and it’s not a pretty sight. Black nails doesn’t suit me but I always ask for black. I dunno why. Akatsuki?

• Sometimes I feel guilty that I can’t be with Kam in some days. Who will cook for her? Anyway, I hope she’s okay. I miss her.

So basically, my life is very boring now. Can’t wait for Tagaytay this weekend.

Less is more

I’m not a big fan of simplicity. I never really understood the whole minimalist chic movement. This boy likes it outrageous. But I think I’m becoming a convert. Jil Sander’s Spring 2010 collection is just divine. This is the sort of beauty that can make me cry. Gorgeous!

Garcon

Today I’m wearing Garcons and Butlers style popularized by androgynous little girls in Akihabara (Tokyo). But honestly, I look more like a priest. Or oddly like this boy from Les Hommes.

Here’s a new song that I’m obsessing on recently. It pretty much encapsulates everything I feel for the past years. Chos.

Tomorrow I’ll be in Divisoria. So excited. Ilaya Street is fabric heaven!

Gyaru-o

It feels like cheating. For the past days I haven’t updated myself with my fandom (Tohoshinki) because I’ve moved on… to KAT-TUN. Haha. When I saw that video (above) I died of spasms. For years I was obsessed with the Gyaru-o style. Gyaru-o is a Japanese street fashion subculture that was popular late 90s and early millennium. Gyaru-o’s distinctive signature is the dark tan complexion with light brown to blonde hair. Like these boys here. From then it evolved to countless subcultures and it became more and more expensive to live the Gyaru-o life. I did take part in some ridiculous doings like tanning my skin. I’m already brown skinned but there was a time that I self-tan. That was bad since my skin ended up two-toned and it wasn’t a pretty sight. And I also bleached my hair. Now it’s extremely damaged. I’m planning bleaching again next month but my hair might end up like sotanghon. I hope not.

Back to KAT-TUN. Aren’t they stylish? I almost didn’t recognize Kame. He gained a bit of weight and he actually looked more handsome. Is it just me or doesn’t he look very much like TOP now? Hmmm… Anyway, I’m in love with their song RESCUE (video above). J-pop always breaks bounderies. The track is dark, slow-rock number that burst into full blown trance. I love it! Just my kind of music.

KAT-TUN is the poster boys of Gyaru-o. And yeah… my favorite porn star is also Gyaru-o. LOL

Robots and shopping

Sister and I went out on 2 dates before she flies for Bangkok tomorrow. Yesterday was for the robots. We went to see Transformers 2. Had so much fun. Contrary to what people say, I thought it was beyond awesome. It was everything I want an action film to be: mindless, shallow, and plot less but with lots of big explosions, flying cars, missiles, robots, robot chases, robot fights, really really really amazing robot fights, fit military men, more explosions and the lovely noise of metal crunching. Whew. That was a mouthful. We ate at Bigoli’s (cheap pasta place) and talked about nothing but Battlestar Galactica. Both of us are sci-fi fans.

To celebrate I bought this really cool necklace from Kathang Kamay. Really cute and huge. Kam got 2 rings.

top: EDC, shorts: custom made, shoes: Slazenger, bag: Oxygen

Today we went to Saizen in Galleria. Kawaii overload. Lots of junk you don’t need but feel compelled to buy. We spent hours there. I got stuffs for my clothes: a clothes line protector and some laundry wrap. There were also tons of cute crap and really cheap house ware. After that we went to Trinoma. Kam bought a laptop bag. I’m jealous. It’s big, snakeskin and in glossy black. She said I can use it too. Haha.

Girl's Generation

This has got to be the most amazing music video I’ve seen this year. Freaking gorgeous. And those legs! OMG. Right now, millions of Korean boys are prolly jacking off to this. It’s perfect. You have 9 teenage girls in marine costumes, popping out of cakes, pillow fighting and seducing you with those legs. OMG those legs.
