HIATUS again.

I was busy with work, watching Bones and Rookies and my lj. More on Rookies on my next post.

Anyway, last week I bought two pairs of drumstick- a Mike Mangini and aJazz nylon tip. I dunno why... I haven't played in 2 months. It took melike 20 minutes to buy both pairs. I couldn't choose between theMangini and the Dip. The sales man kept promoting Mangini so in the end I bought it.

And I found Adrian Young's sticks were really big and heavy- like the ones for big band and army band.

End of Interleague yesterday, I missed the first 2 innings, internetconnection sucked. Sugiuchi toushu had a complete shutout game whichmakes the team in the same standing as Nipponhamо(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

Ok, just have to wait for Watti to get back on the game. He's scribbling some weird looking stuff on his blog (x_x；)

It's his daughter- well she's only four :*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:

Have to go, missed my workout for 2 days already. Ja!

MIA is Back

Geez. that was a long hiatus. I couldn't update here because I was busy with work and quite stuck on lj (＾ε＾)

Anyway, I missed blogging in English.

Let's see, I don't have work for a week. My students are in Tacloban for the Palaro. And it's summer so I have my vacation, not that I'm going somewhere special. We just had our family reunion after 20 yrs T.T 2 weeks ago. I had enough of swimming and baby-sitting :*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:

Next Friday I'll be going to Pangasinan for my grandmother's death anniversary, probably be back on Sunday.

Iljimae???

Saw a couple of stolen shots of Keunsuk holding the trumpet at the BV shoot ('-^*)/

I cannot wait to see him play.

The MarieClare shots were shown today... he looks older and more manly compared to when he had long hair.

But this one tops everything so far... reminds me of CASSHERN

let the sunshine in

Finally, sun came out today о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆
But my cold turned worst... ate ice-cream, the fish-shaped one with red beans and the strawberry shake at Seattle's. Anyway, it's summer in Korea so I might as well try them. Too sweet for me, must be the chocolate fudge I ate before. Then I bought 2kg of kimchi and some noodles.

I can't wait to watch Beethoven Virus, still digging some classical stuff.

Two nights I got side-tracked watching Katekyo Hitman, finished until ep 61. Dino & Hayato ≧(´▽｀)≦

I've yet to watch Maou. I'm still dowloading Nonstop 4 and Alien Sam. Gad, so many it will take me forever.

3 days with such an ugly weather

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:28:44 +0900

I have a cold, must be the effect of 2 days worth of cold drinks and crazy weather

Keunsuk did a shoot for Beethoven Virus and a photoshoot for Marieclare.

Yun posted the last bacth of gifts... mine would have ended looking like macrina's if I didn't unwrapped it.

back to classics

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:49:12 +0900

I was looking for some pieces for trumpet yesterday...

1. Haydn Trumpet Concerto in E Flat Major - orchestra
2. Holst's Jupiter from Planets Suite- watched this orchestra

3. Hummel Trumpet concerto - looks so hard o(_ _*)o Wynton Marsalis is really good...

4. Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy - Auf Flügen des Gesanges, watched this in Kiniro no Corda, Kazuki & Kahoko...

Kensuk has to practice really hard to look convincing.

I'm thinking of watching Nodame SP for the 5th or 6th time. I miss Chiaki. But I already set myself to watch Kisarazu.

I want to play Nodame DS, don't like computer games but that one could be an exception. It looks really fun.

Anyway, Yun posted all the gifts, only a few unagi who hasn't sent theirs.

Mine... I wonder how my baseball cap got in there (?_?)

Maybe this is Pao's, but the letter is definitely mine.

So it's probably going to be in big boxes... hope I could see a pic of him with the gifts.

mark your calendars on August 14!!!

Finally, the release date of Baby & me. I was going to post earlier but I was busy reseaching some things.

Anyway, I dug out some stuff... JKS fashion,similarities to Yu Sung Ho, etc...

I'm most curious about his shoes. Like this one... this isn't the regular Reebok Ex -O fit Hi.

So I started looking for some other design... and I came up with this

It's the white one at the top. Still not convinced?

And it's possible because Keunsuk left Korea sometime in April...

It's a coincidence right? I mean I just watched the 2007 MKMF last night

Anyway, I like this color.

Is it possible it's waterproof? I need it, it's rainy here.

See... it's already raining outside

Maybe this glossy ones?

There's 2 other shoes I still don't know. I'll look for them next time.

Binus and I were talking about young actors the other day, she likes Kamiki Ryunosuke. Yeah, he's too young! I mean same age as my sister

So she posted some pics together with Eita & Tsukamoto *Taiyou no Uta hangover *, in response to my Yu Sung Ho entry (^ε^)♪

I watched that kid in The Way Home he's something like 6-7yrs old during that time.

I haven't watched Legend. So I didn't know he was there...

Similarities? Both started as child actors... and yeah, Sung Ho you're still a child. And Keunsuk's a man now. See all those tiny hairs, he needs to shave everyday

His eyes look like So Ji Sub's

blow me away

I was going to post this yesterday but I was already late for the Pops in Seoul event. I'll post my view later.

장근석 '트럼펫 고수'로 드라마 복귀
'베토벤 바이러스' 천재 연주자 출연… 해병대 출신 음악도, 카리스마 과시

배우 장근석이 섹시한 트럼펫 연주를 선보인다. 장근석은 MBC의 새 드라마 <베토벤 바이러스>(극본홍진아,홍자람ㆍ연출 이재규)에 출연을 결정했다. 장근석은 극중 음악에 천부적인 재능을 지닌 트럼펫 연주자 ‘강건우’를 맡는다.이미 캐스팅이 확정된 김명민과 동명이인의 캐릭터로 꾸밈 없고 솔직한 성격의 남자다운 남자를 연기한다. 바이올리니스트 이지아를만나고 난 뒤 자신이 가진 절대음감에 눈을 뜬 뒤 오케스트라의 단원으로 합류하게 된다.

장근석은 전작 <홍길동>에 이어 이 드라마에서도 남성미 넘치는 음악도의 모습을 보여줄 예정이어서 여성 팬들의 가슴을또 한번 뒤흔들 작정이다. 해병대 출신의 음악도를 연기하는 터라 색다른 카리스마를 엿볼 수 있을 전망이다.

일명 ‘한국판 노다메 칸타빌레’로 불리는 <베토벤 바이러스>는 오케스트라를 결성한 단원들이 좌충우돌 끝에 성공에 이르는 이야기를 그린 음악 드라마다. 김명민 이지아 박철민 등이 출연하며 오는 9월3일에 첫 방송된다.

So those late night cyworld entries are not the only things he's doing. 2 months to practice the trumpet... I can understand how difficult it would be... Ueno Juri and co. had to practice for the Swing Girls movie.

I found this Beethoven Virus Electric Violin on Youtube

It looks pretty hard

so...

Keunsuk goodluck!!!

And Yun posted the gifts... @soompi.com

See mine looks pretty plain, thanks to my nasty temper

Birthday card...

So now I leave with Keunsuk's sexy back

JKS new drama!!! Beethoven Virus

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:06:04 +0900

Oh my He's done it again... a new drama and he's going to be musically gifted AGAIN

I'm thinking of Chiaki... oh no, this is bad. The last time I watched Nodame I went crazy

What will be his instrument? Violin? Cello? oboe? faggot? contrabass?

I want to know!。・ﾟﾟ･(≧д≦)･ﾟﾟ･｡

BEETHOVEN VIRUS Daum

I can't wait to watch it!

past & present

I was browsing through some songs... and I found my old favorites

And new music... I tried Evan's song since he will be hosting Pops in Seoul. I'm pretty sure he's going to perform. This is my favorite song from his first album, Hard To Breathe.

Evan (Yoo Hosuk) - 남자도... 어쩔 수 없다

Now I know what to expect from him on July 5.

Yelle - À Cause des Garçons Techtonik Remix the song in Keunsuk's Sherbet Toner CF

배틀 - Step by Step Blame my brother, I watched their comeback performance and he downloaded all (^ε^)♪

Son Dam Bi - Bad Boy, love her Cry Eye, this one is great too.

I found a lot of cool remix... of BIGBANG, Dam Bi & Battle...

Last Bad Step the title sounds silly but the remix is

Last Farewell & Bad Boy remix the first one is better than this

Kuhjimal & Cry Eye Remix this is pretty interesting, the intro rap of Kuhjimal goes well with Cry Eye's funky beat.

Ok that's it... pretty much posted enough songs for today.
