Just a couple of things

Ok, so first I wanted to say that I recently redesigned my blog and I now have a translation bar on the right side. I will add more stuff, like a comment box [YAY!] and perhaps a link to my twitter page.

Also, just for the sake of random things, I decided to share some videos with you. The first one is of this guy, The Fellow Yellow (whose link can be found in my list of Fellow bloggers) who basically vlogs about everyday things. It's titled: "How to be a KPOP Star". 

I would go into more detail... except I'm not so good at explaining things so I'll let you decide what you think of the video. All I have to say, is he's pretty funny.

The next two videos are of this variety show called 1n2d (1 night 2 days) and it's about these group of singers, MC hosts, comedians, wrappers etc. who get together on a trip each week for 1 night 2 days. Basically, they play different games to fight for a right to eat and sleep inside. This is the basic idea of it but it's helluva funny stuff watching them fail at everything.

Anyhow, these are short clips from different episodes on the show and well... see for yourself. I couldn't stop laughing xD

Ep 85- Lee Seunggi's breakfast mission

 

[A later episode]

So, I hope you enjoyed those videos as much as I did :L and until next time... I'm going to have chocolate. Been craving the stuff all day :P

Just a thought

Today I pose to you this thought,

"Music is both a gift and a curse."

It's something that I have considered recently. Ok, so you may be entirely confused as to why and how I came up with this, but hear me out first.

To me, music is something painful and wonderful all at once. It has the power to make me feel ecstatic, lost in my own world when I perform; but it also is the greatest source of pressure in my life. Without music, I don't have much left. I'm not exactly a genius in the academic department so... what I'm trying to say is that I've relied on music to make good impressions throughout most of my life.

There have been many times when I wanted to stop it all because of the struggle to increase my standards as a performer. In fact recently, I came this close to giving up entirely.

But... I didn't.

Instead, I realised that I can never stop performing. It's something that I can't ignore or push away. It is a part of me. If I did, I know it would haunt me forever.

This is why I say music is both a gift and a curse. For me, at least.

Fickle words...

Yep, It's me again.

Ok, I very rarely if ever, do these kind of philosophical blog posts... but today I just couldn't help myself. Maybe I am too tired or this is even perhaps a sign of insanity. (Trials have affected my brain.) Either way I'm doing this and no one will stop me.

So recently I've come to realise that trust can be blinding. After years of many experiences and good memories with a person, it is very easy to trust them with no hesitation. Makes sense, right? I mean, think about it. The people who are closest to you -your parents, siblings, friends and whomever else fits into that category- are probably people you would trust with your life (if we're talking about the great extent to which trust can exist). Even with acquaintances, you trust them with little things (obviously depending on the context of the situation).

For the record, I'm not paranoid about whether or not people back-stab me or anything like that, and it happens to everyone at some point. What I'm saying is that no matter how much you trust someone, that trust is limited.

It is also unpredictable. Take for example, when you first meet someone. It takes months or years to build up a certain amount of trust in that person -if you get along with them. Yet, in one moment it can be so easy to break that trust or friendship. Mind you, this depends on the severity of the situation.

I believe it is a constant tug of war for some people to open up to those around them. To talk about things that trouble them, especially when it's hard to explain, is a difficult task sometimes. Opening up, means revealing your strengths and weaknesses -something which people can easily use against you if they really wanted. And, this is where trust comes in. In trusting that person to not use anything against you, no matter how much they may end up disliking you in future.

This, is the essence of trust.

So... let me know what you guys thought about my post, if you want. You're choice, and I just wanted to have a random shout-out to my good friend Maria whom I haven't seen in a while, regrettably. I just want to say that I wish her good luck in her studies and I hope we can catch up soon. It's been way too long :)

That's it for now, cheers :L
