[pinned] Guys I'm (not-so-)secretly in love with. (28/04/2014)

I can have a bimbz moment every now and then right XD.

These are celebrities that I'm not a fan of and don't usually follow, like if they're artists I may not listen to their songs, or if they're actors I don't have to watch all of their dramas, and my knowledge of them is limited to (but not necessary encompass all of) what's listed on their Wikipedia page. But I like them, for one reason or another.

This list doesn't include other people I am obviously in love with, like *ahem* Jay Chou, etc etc etc. (There should be a lot more, but in the split second I can only think of Jay, lol.)

(Okay, "in love" is maybe too strong a phrase, but if you should know, when it comes to celebrities I throw that phrase around like it's nothing. And in this context, it is nothing, actually.)

1. 王力宏

He's REALLY talented, and I like quite a few of his songs. But who am I kidding, really? He's just. so. good-looking. Anyone that has walked past a Seiko advertisement with me probably has heard me exclaiming, "王力宏好帅" or the like, because somehow I just need to say it every time I see him. (And if I don't say it out loud, in all seriousness, I really am saying it in my head.) In my opinion, he's the (read with an -ee) best-looking Asian guy. And the best part is, he's not really photogenic, so in videos where he's moving, he looks even better. GO FIGURE.

2. 羅志祥

小猪 is filial, hardworking and sincerely nice towards his fans. It doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes either. But the biggest reason why I like him is because he's SO hilarious. I don't watch 娛樂百分百 (in which he's one of the MCs) that often, but being able to watch it without subtitles is one of the things that make me feel thankful for knowing Chinese. I can't count just how many times he's caused me to laugh so hard I thought I'd die laughing, and there are a few clips of him that I saved in my Favourites for whenever I might need a good laugh because even though I've watched them many times they still manage to make me laugh every time. Even the sight of him literally rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably is funny lol!


3. Lee Seung Gi

There's something about Lee Seung Gi that makes him likeable, but I still can't figure out what it is. Maybe he just has a nice personality and it shows? I don't think he's particularly good-looking, but he has a nice smile. And have you read how accomplished he is? Not only is he a singer, actor and MC (and I can objectively say that he does all three well), he is also currently attending a graduate school and has a good family background to boot. Seriously, no wonder people in Korea call him umchinah (mother′s friend′s perfect son).

4. Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr is charismatic, funny and just drop-dead gorgeous. I swear he can charm the pants off anyone, male or female, gay or straight. And he's NOT old! Ohwells, who cares. I love those wrinkles around his eyes when he smiles anyway. Did I mention that he's the sexiest man alive? I didn't? There.

5. 仕凌 (MC40) from 大嘴巴

He's CUTE. I was watching the drama 愛上巧克力 (started months ago, right now at episode 30+, but it has like 80 episodes and I'm still contemplating whether to continue) and his comical facial expressions and boyish smile just totally stole the show. And from the few 完全娛樂 episodes that I've watched (he's one of the MCs), he seems down to earth, eloquent and likeable :).

6. 小傑 from JPM

Even though I know a bit about JPM's counterpart, Lollipop F, because of 京犬煜 (XD), I know nothing about JPM, lol. I remember seeing 小傑 on 周湯豪's 好友音樂會 one day when I was bored and had nothing else to watch, and he comes across as a really genuine, nice person. I am always a sucker for nice people! (As you can see, I "fall in love" very quickly, HAHA.) And I like the way he talks; very natural, 很爽快!

7. Tom Hiddleston

 

Tom Hiddleston! I first saw him in The Avengers, where he played Loki. At that time I was still often on Tumblr, and it baffled me how there were like, so many posts dedicated to him, how good-looking/sexy he was and everything. 'Cos I really didn't like Loki's hair (and I was also highly distracted by a Mr Stark in the same film, you see.) But then I got around to watching some interviews by the cast, and somehow I just grew to like him. It has something to do with how humble he comes across as, how genuinely he seems to ponder over each question asked by reporters and how nice he is towards just about everyone. He carries himself really well. I also really like his speaking voice; I can watch/listen to him speak all day *sigh*.


8. Lee Jong Suk

Lee Jong Suk is just ADORABLE. I first saw him in Secret Garden, where his and Oska's side story was my favourite, but I didn't like him until I watched School 2013, where he played a brooding high-schooler who was always either getting into fights or sleeping in class (lol). I don't really know what it is that attracted me to him; maybe it's his wide toothy smile, or how affectionate all his friends/colleagues describe him to be. I haven't watched many of his works, but I hope to, for he is a good actor :).

Happy 34th Jay :).

It's almost 3am, the cold wind is blowing along with the heavy rain and I am listening to 蒲公英的約定 on repeat with my eyes half closed as I am typing this. I am one day late (3 hours, to be exact) because I really wasn't planning on doing this, and I don't have much to say, really, but I just have so much feels right now (it's all the song's fault!) that I need to make this post.

Happy birthday, Jay :). I wish you happiness in all the years to come, as much as you have brought to millions of people through your music. There are a lot of things I wish I could tell you, like how much I love your music, how much I love your music, and well, how much I love your music. But I can't put into words exactly how much it is, so I shall not attempt to do it lest sounding like a complete 花痴. So just thank you, really, for being born, for making music, for being the proud and stubborn person that you are to continue composing songs however you want regardless of whatever others may say. I love you, I love your music. Did I say I love you?

Random post #1.

Even to feel sad,

I have no right.

I did not lose anything,

for it was not mine to lose.

Nothing is missing,

just that it's you I miss.

I need my hearing.

Today a lecturer asked, "What's the sense you don't wanna lose the most?" and said that most people would say sight. I'd say hearing, though. I know that losing sight would probably pose the greatest hindrance to my daily life, but other than that, I'm not someone who places a lot of importance on appearances. But I can't imagine living not being able to listen to music. I'd be miserable, really.

Today, I...

1. Had insomnia and fell asleep at around 5am
2. Woke up at 11am and took Clarinase
3. Put dirty clothes in the washing machine
4. Cooked instant noodles (kimchi-flavoured! with egg!), ate while watching drama and washed the dishes while the washing machine works
5. Hung the clothes to dry
6. Cleaned and organised my huge dumpster of a table in the living room (I am a master at throwing away stuff!)
7. Swept the floor with Adam Lambert blasting in the background
8. Finished at 3pm.

I AM SO TIRED.

[pinned] Facts about myself. (27/01/2013)

Here are some things about me that you may or may not know about.

1. I don't like animals.

I may think that a puppy is adorable, but I'd still keep a distance from it and not want to touch it. I used to say that it's because I think animals are dirty, but then again, it's not really the reason. I guess I'm rather fearful of them?

2. I hate cigarettes.

I hate, loathe cigarettes with a passion. I think smoking is the most selfish addiction ever because in the process of killing themselves slowly, smokers are also killing other people with their second-hand smoke that is more harmful that first-hand one. I get pissed off whenever I smell cigarette smoke, and usually I make my disdain pretty obvious, on purpose. I have nothing against the smokers themselves, as long as they don't smoke within like 10 meter radius of me. I told my dad that I'd stop calling him Dad if he starts smoking, and I was not kidding.

3. I have a very bad memory.

I can't remember things well, so don't be surprised if, say, I say that I can't remember what I had for lunch the day before. (Now that I think about it, I really can't remember what I had o_o.)

4. I love fruits.

I don't think there's any fruit that I dislike. I love fruits!

5. I don't have just one favourite.

I like things, I dislike things. But I don't have favourites. Ask me what my favourite song is and I would never be able to give you an answer, even after you narrow it down to one particular artist. What's wrong with just having a top 3/5/10 for everything?

6. I really don't like to be sick.

When I was young, I really wanted to be a doctor. It wasn't really because of any noble reason like I want to help people, but simply because I dislike being sick. Usually I pride myself on being strong, but when I'm sick, I tend to whine a whole lot.

7. I love music.

I think listening to music is a big part of my daily life. I love music. You can always find the perfect music to go with any weather, mood, and what have you. You can like a song without liking or knowing the language it's sung in, or even its genre. It's rather amazing that I can remember so many songs' lyrics, given my terrible memory.

8. I don't regret.

I tend to do things that I want to, regardless of what others think. Conversely, I don't do things that others may expect me to, if I don't want to do them. Since my actions are a result of my personality and the situation, even if I were to be given a chance to do it over, given the same circumstances, I'd have done the same thing I did at any particular time. Therefore, there's no reason to regret. From time to time I may groan at some stupid thing that I did in the past, but I don't regret that I did it. I take a mental note of my mistakes and tell myself to not do the same things in the future, and that's it.

9. I love singing.
I may not sing well, I don't have a nice or unique voice and I am half tone deaf (because I can't match notes to their names, like A/B/C/etc), but I really like singing. I can sing for hours straight and still feel like singing afterwards. I usually can't stand awkward situations, but in a karaoke place, as long as everyone likes singing (important caveat here), it should never be awkward!

10. I am a direction idiot.
I can never remember directions to places and I have trouble reading the map. I need a GPS installed in my brain. Like, seriously.

11. I love looking at stars.
Stars are always there at night, but most of the time we can't see them, either because of the lights or fog. That's why I feel lucky when I look up and happen to see a starry night, not the mention the fact that it's just really pretty :).

12. I love Jay Chou.
I love Jay Chou....'s music (laugh). I still remember how years ago when my brother borrowed his 七里香 album from a friend I took one look at the cover and wondered out loud how such an ugly person could become so famous, but then he started playing the album and I was totally blown away. I love his music, whether it's the 中国风, the ballads, the rock/rap songs, the happy-go-lucky pop songs or the quirky I-don't-even-know-what-they-are songs. A lot people say that he never changes, and that his songs sound the same, but I beg to differ. Yes, his music has a certain "Jay" feeling to it, like even before you know it's his song you'd get an inkling that it was, but there isn't one single thing that defines Jay's music, for it's really quite diverse. Uhm, okay, I didn't mean to rant. But anyway, yeah, I love Jay Chou's music, and so, I love him. He can do whatever he wants, as long as he keeps making good music. I can go on and on, but yeah, the bottom line is, I love Jay :).

13. I really don't like the cold wind blowing at night.
It always makes me go all emo.

14. I hardly ever remember my dreams.
Moments before being fully awake I may think, "I had a good/bad dream," but minutes after I'd completely forget what the dream was about. Wonder if that's a good or a bad thing.

15. I like drinking.
THERE, I said it.
