D-day

It's another year, another birthday, another day older for Donghae.
He is now 30 years old. The time has come for him to enlist in the mandatory military duty. He will be in the army for 2 years. First 4 weeks are training then he gets sent to the police task force. He will be a conscripted police officer. Can you imagine him as someone upholding the law? I think it would be some thing great to see. He is a very righteous man.
I can't believe it's actually happening. It feels like yesterday I was wondering when Donghae would go to the military.  And that was 6 years ago. Time sure flies.
It has been an adventurous ride going from one album to another, to a photo shoot, to a drama, to a film, or to an endorsement. He has been doing a lot. Recently, he has been writing songs and composing for new albums. His Don't wake me up and Growing Pains songs are beautiful. They are filled with so much emotion that you can feel Donghae's heart.

I'm going to miss him so much. He won't be active in his career so there won't be much of him on T.V. or any new songs. So this is going to be one difficult year. I don't know how I am going to endure it. He has become an enormous part of my life, he has given me so much inspiration and hope that I couldn't ever imagine coming from anyone. I hope I can see him in my dreams. He is the only one that is able to make my monsters in the dark go away. 

동해오빠가 내 옆있어 나는 외롭지안했었다.
그래서 동해오빠, 오리 ELF는 있니가 외롭지안할거에요.
많이목어, 건강하고, 잘다녀와세요. 기다리고영원히사랑할거에요.  <3 

Daydream

Ticket for Super Show 5 at Osaka Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan

Kyocera Dome

Today, I was reliving a moment that I experienced exactly a year ago. On November 16, 2013 at Osaka Kyocera Dome, in Osaka, Japan, I attend my first Super Junior concert. It was Super Show 5. I waited for this day to come for 4 years. I didn't expect anything nor did I have any expectation and it was the most liberating experience ever. I would never have imagined to be in one of their concerts, it was too far-fetched of an idea for me, for someone like me. I live in the opposite side of the world and I didn't even know that they would have a concert in Osaka, Japan. I found out exactly 2 weeks before the concert date and right after moments of knowing I began searching for places to buy the tickets from. I had one of my friends help me search for the tickets. She led me to a Chinese website where Japanese fans were selling their tickets and that's where I bought mine. [I can't thank my friend enough for helping!]
From the moment I bought the ticket, to when the ticket came in the mail, to when I was traveling to go to Osaka, to while I was attending the concert and even a week after the concert ended, I felt as if I was daydreaming.
Everything that I had gone through was so surreal. I was overjoyed and grateful. I spent 6 years of my life working hard to earn money and save up just so I can live moments like this. It is nothing I can describe it to be, it is beyond any thing one can imagine, it is some thing that can only be lived. I still replay every moment of the concert in my head. I remember all of the members voices, their dances, their comments, and actions. I remember Donghae's voice, every move he made. I wasn't watching him from a computer screen, but he was walking on stage, live, breathing. He is real as anyone else in the dome. For that one evening, I didn't have to watch him digitally. I cried so much, of happiness. They performed the song It's You, the first song I listened to of theirs'. I felt the deep emotions of the song, their beautiful voices and the fact that it was the one song that introduced me to them...I didn't hold my tears. I cried so happily. And then right after, they sang Hero and it is the one song I go to whenever I feel down. My tears didn't stop that night.
One thing that was really special that night was when the members were performing Rockstar, each member had to do some thing unique to the audience and so when it was Donghae's turn he got off the stage and gave a warm yet tight hug to a dedicated fan. It was such a beautiful, and loving hug. He probably hugged for a min or two and then went back on stage. The whole audience was speechless and in awe. And that's why we love him more. He explained himself at the end that he wants to give hugs to each fan, and thank them for being with him for so long.

I will never forget this night. Best night of my life. <3

I can't help but thank God so much for letting me have this moment, for helping me meet them.

This is the one thing I recorded from the concert. The members wanted to see the Sapphire Blue ocean so all the stadium lights were turned off and our glows sticks were the only light. It was so beautiful. 

Group colour: Sapphire Blue

I bought one of each merchandise they were selling. I know I would never get this chance again. Best decision ever. 

Still Together

Happy 9th Anniversary, Super Junior!!!

Today, is the 9th anniversary of the Korean pop group Super Junior!
Debuted: November 6, 2005
I hope there will be many more anniversaries for them. Its a miracle to last this long in the Korean entertainment. I think each member is responsible for lasting this long and putting all efforts to sustain the group. They have worked so hard with tight schedules and long nights to maintain and promote as one group. After all these years, these men are not just band mates or co-workers but friends and most important, family. A family that is joined, not by blood but by love. It will always be One Love. Forever. With E.L.F.

So, I congratulate you, Super Junior members; Leeteuk, Heechul, Hangeng, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum, Kyuhyun.
Stay strong and healthy!!

Love, E.L.F.

Sadly, Hangeng (went back to China) and Kibum (focuses on acting) do not perform with the group but they are always part of the group.

Tribute #7

Seventh Confession.

As much as I am reluctant to say this, I hope Donghae finds a wife that will be very understanding, patient and most of all, to never leave his side. If anything, he should find a girl version of Eunhyuk.

Love that I need

 

  사랑, 愛、Love...they all mean the same thing but in different languages. Its amazing how much power this one word holds. A power to give someone strength or to break them. Lately, i've been listening to this song "Love that I need" and I can't help but be in love with this song. Just like the love that I need, Love gives me the power to keep going, to keep going forward.I really like listening to this song and singing along. I also like this song because i am love struck. I can't help it and some times I wish I wasn't but I am. It brightens my day to think about that person. I wish that person would come in my dreams every night and cheer me on.

 I'm grateful to have met you. <3

English translation

Standing still by the window, you’re staring at the sky
Seems like you’re hugged by the soft sunlight
Miracle, fate, to me who didn’t believe
Only you alighted

Nothing is needed, nothing to be damaged
This feeling, you’re feeling the same right ?

*** (chorus)
You & Me, when we link hand to hand
You & Me, continue to feel the wind
Matching the steps, changing the eyes
U, U, U give me just the love that I need, I need, I need
I need

You and me are alike
When we think like that, its bipolar
Nothing but new finding
It’s weird, and I’m happy

There’s no answer, there’s no reason to find
Full of love, beyond the theory

You & Me, beside the heart
You & Me, feeling each other
Even if there’s no word, even if there’s different person
U, U, U give me just the love that I need

Rap (Henry)
The thing that you’re for me
Is a miracle once in a lifetime
On rainy days, cuddle together and laughing matchly,
On bright days, start running and laughing together oh
When you’re here, anything and everything
I have a feeling I can do well
Every day is lovely with you
So I couldn’t pause the singing voice

Any number of times, like the day breaks and the sun rises
I want to pile up the smiles, to finish everywhere
Me without you, even the color of the sky
I can’t do well baby

***repeat

You & Me oh (I need I need)
I don’t need anything yeah (I need I need)
Never change (I need I need)
Just give me the love that I need

생일축하함니다 이혁재!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE HYUKJAE!!

Today is HyukJae's Birthday. His stage name is Eunhyuk [은혁]. He is a member of Super Junior. He is the 8th member, counting by age. He is the band's best dancing machine. After him is Hangeng [I think he might've been first], Donghae and Shindong. He is born on April 4th 1986. He is older than Donghae but younger than Sungmin. So he is the middle kid. :) He is the lead dancer, rapper and vocalist. He is the other half of Donghae, they both complete each other. He is shy, funny and sincere. Eunhyuk has been through many tough times and Donghae has always been there to support him. Eunhyuk's dream has always been to be a great dancer and his dream has come true. He recently stepped into the Broadway musical industry too. He performed in the musical "Fame". He is an amazing person with immense talent. Hyukjae ssi no matter what anyone says, never change your face or your personality. Be the natural beauty that you are. You are wonderful exactly the way you are. Never stop believing in yourself  :)

나도 널 사랑해, あいしてるよ!

It has been a really really really long time since I could grasp the words "Love, Happiness, and Kindness" again. They are still distant to me but slowly I will grow accustomed to them. I realized that I don't think I can live my life without those emotions and I definitely did not want to be a bitter person. That will be very さべし [lonely]. So regardless of events that have happened in my life, I will once again walk a path of freedom and justice. I will not give up, I can't give up...or else my life won't mean anything. No matter how hard life gets I will not lose to the world! I will fight till the bitter end. :)
I would like to thank one of my new found friends. She stood by me even though I was all sad and bitter about the world. She was patient enough to wait until I slowly healed. Thank you せんぱい[senpai]. I am accepting these three words and I will move forward with them ^_^

This video never fails to put a smile on my face. Its a very nice and beautiful song. Everybody is really adorable in it. Those three words that I talked about are well displayed in this video :)
One of my favourites. Enjoy!


동해씨 감사합니다...

생일축하함니다 초규현!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was Kyuhyun's Birthday!!!! On top of that Super Junior had their Super Show in Taipei so they celebrated his birthday during the concert. It was so funny!! I love how all the members are like a family and treat each other with laughter! They truly are a bunch of 10 year old fools! lol. Their family oriented group has lasted them 6 years...far longer than any K-pop band. Suju Hwaiting!
So I was looking at the recaps of the concert and I found a video that shows all the members celebrating his birthday and getting cake all over his face. There are no subtitles yet but by watching you can get the gist of what they are saying. Definitely a must watch. It will put a smile on your face!

The Magnae with a talented voice that survived!

Video

P.S I love how Donghae has a maternal side to his personality, his actions are very caring towards Kyuhyun. Ryeowook is just too cute with his Giraffe stuffed animal, standing far away and watching :)
Eunhyuk pulling off a waiter act. lol.
Henry is wayy too excited for the climax! I enjoyed watching his reactions.

LEE DONGHAE!

This video is a tribute to Lee DongHae! [I finally finished it ^_^]
It was made for his birthday :) Oct 15 1986
The song is Its You from their 3rd album. It is the first song I listened of theirs' that got me interested in their music.
This is a thank you to Lee Dong Hae for making/singing amazing music. Dong Hae has brought so much happiness, tears and heartwarming memories to billions of fans...so Lee Dong Hae..we thank you for pursuing this career and touching the lives of millions of people with your music and unique charm. You will forever be loved by us E.L.Fs :)

Lyrics
English:
It’s you, It’s you,
It’s you, It’s only you
It’s you, It’s you

I don’t need anyone else, it’s only you
When you ask again, it’s only you
Even if you already have another love
I can’t forget you, I can’t turn back around
Oh ~
The moment my eyes began to burn
The moment my heart was captured by you
I have no regret, I chose you
That’s right, it’s you

Chorus :
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you

It’s you

I don’t need any words. it’s just you
“ It’s too late “ , but for me it’s just you
I know our love is wrong
I can’t give up, I can’t let you go
Ah Ah

My lips, cold as can be, are even more blue
I cry out to find to find your warmth
I call, even though I call for you
And there’s no reply, I’ll wait for you

Chorus :
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you

For me, it’s you, it’s you
Why don’t you know, why don’t you know?
For me, it’s you, it’s you

Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

It’s you

World of Perfection

So as I was looking at the photo shoot pictures of Super Junior M's album Perfection [from K-pop blog]...a crazy thought crossed my mind. I just made up a cast about an imaginary world where eight members lived. So here goes! 

Donghae: Arrogant aristocrat

  Eunhyuk: Aristocrat's right hand man

 Henry: Priest 

Siwon: Prince (enemy of aristocrat)

Zhou Mi: Prince's adviser

Ryeowook: Constable

 Kyuhyun: Mad scientist

Sungmin: Nobleman (allies with Prince)

And now let your imagination flow! hehehe :D

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY!
