Donghae

First thing in the morning, I saw Kimmy‘s tweets greeting Donghae for his birthday. “Hmmm… so it’s Donghae’s birthday today,” I thought to myself. And then… “it” occurred to me.

Bonamana 4/11

So here’s the tracklist of Super Junior’s much anticipated 4th album, “미 인 아 (BONAMANA).”

슈퍼주니어 4집 - 미인아 (Type A) Source: YesAsia.com Buy now!

01. 미 인 아 (BONAMANA)
02. 나쁜 여자 (Boom Boom)
03. 응결 (Coagulation)
04. 나란 사람 (Your Eyes)
05. My Only Girl
06. 사랑이 이렇게 (My All Is In You)
07. Shake It Up!
08. 잠들고 싶어 (In My Dream)
09. 봄날 (One Fine Spring Day)
10. 좋은 사람 (Good Person)
11. Here We Go

As any other SuJu fan, I was as eager to listen to their 4th album tracks, so last night, after watching my daily dose of “House MD,” I switched back to my fangirl self again and downloaded the entire album to my iPod. “What a wonderful way to end the day!” The Silent Spectator thought.

However… (NOTE: DON’T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T LISTENED YET TO THE WHOLE ALBUM YOURSELF. YOU MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION ABOUT THIS MATTER)

…out of the 11 tracks, I only liked 4:

01. 미 인 아 (BONAMANA)
03. 응결 (Coagulation)
06. 사랑이 이렇게 (My All Is In You) <—– my most favorite
08. 잠들고 싶어 (In My Dream)

Sorry to say, but the 3rd album is still the best for me.

By the way, I just got a phone call from Kpop Lover and learned that we’ve got the same opinion about the “Bonamana” MV, that it’s just like the same old “Sorry, Sorry” black and white/grayscale video. Unfortunately, we were expecting more. The dance moves were awesome, anyway (but not in the chorus part <—- t’was a bit weird). All the same, Kyuhyun’s moves were epic!

Judgment

When it comes to music, I know my judgment so well.

My judgment is often affected by bias and by other people’s comments, so as much as possible I would always want to listen/watch the thing myself and generate my own thoughts before reading anyone else’s.

When I first listened to Super Junior’s newest single, “Miinah (BONAMANA),” on May 10th, I noticed at once that there was too much auto-tuning [and The Silent Spectator is not a big fan of auto-tune], but the beat and the melody, the combination of their voices, and the entire song in general were oh so beautiful that I didn’t dare listen to it again lest it gets stuck in my head.

Seven hours ago, Super Junior released their song’s official music video. Because of the song’s funky nature, I was expecting some funky choreography (of course!) and a colorful video. Sure enough, Super Junior didn’t disappoint me with the funky choreography, but…

…colorful video? Nah, epic fail!

I liked the video nonetheless. Oh how can I not when Kyuhyun’s got so many parts in it?

Now, I am biased.

Forty Days: Day 37

At last, I was able to touch our piano again! I haven’t played it forever! I tried to play Kim Dong Wook’s “My Heart is Calling” from “You’re Beautiful” soundtrack. Oh crap, what a difficult piece!

Just when I was about to completely give up my dream of attending the SuJu concert, Jens texted me! She’s inviting me to go with her. Damn! I’m being a little fangirl again! No, stop. This isn’t right. LOL. There’s a time for that, and that is when I’m in the States already, employed and earning dollars! $-)

What’s wrong with that?

I’m a bit upset right now because I uploaded a birthday video for Kyuhyun and tagged my Facebook friends in it but instead of appreciating it they’re saying things like I’m an addict and that I’m scary. What’s wrong with what I did? I’m just a fan who wanted to greet her favorite singer a happy birthday but because she couldn’t do it personally, she did it by uploading a piano video containing her birthday message, thought it would be nice to share the video with her friends, and tagged them in Facebook. Now tell me, what’s wrong with that?

I Love You ♪ ♫ ♪

Cho Kyuhyun’s song “Listen…to You” (Pasta OST) had been playing inside my head when I wrote the poem below, so if you would listen to Kyuhyun’s song, you might as well “sing out” my poem because it perfectly matches the tune.
The concept is about a guy who misses his girl so much that the mere thought of her makes him want to sing “I love you.”

How are you?
Baby, how are you?
Do you know that I am thinking of you?
Right now, as I am writing this,
The mere thought of you brings melody to my ears.

I miss you,
Baby, I miss you.
You are always present in my mind.
Every time I hear your voice,
My heart jumps and can’t help but overflow with joy.

CHORUS:
Let me gather my feelings for you,
And let them be heard through this song.
Every word, every melody
Only speaks of the love that I feel for you.
Even though I am not beside you,
My heart only beats for you.
I need you,
Baby, I need you.
I will say this ‘til I get next to you,
“I love you.”

I love you, love you, love you…
I love you, love you, love you…
Yeah

Though you’re far,
Baby, though you’re far,
This great distance couldn’t tear us apart.
N’matter how long it would take,
I will patiently wait for the day I touch your face.

Do you know?
Baby, do you know?
I look forward to a future with you—
Side by side, watching stars at night
Holding hands and whispering the words “I love you!”

CHORUS:
Let me gather my feelings for you,
And let them be heard through this song.
Every word, every melody
Only speaks of the love that I feel for you.
Even though I am not beside you,
My heart only beats for you.
I need you,
Baby, I need you.
I will say this ‘til I get next to you…

BRIDGE:
If I could fly down to your side right now,
And hold your hands real tight, I would.
I promise, for you there is nothing I won’t do.
If I could have one wish,
It would be that one day,
We could be together, oh baby…
You and me!

CHORUS:
Let me gather my feelings for you,
And let them be heard through this song.
Every word, every melody
Only speaks of the love that I feel for you.
Even though I am not beside you,
My heart only beats for you.
I need you,
Baby, I need you.
I will say this ‘til I get next to you,
“I love you.”

Love you, love you, love you…
Love you, love you, love you…
Oh my baby, my love.

Omona!!! (Draft)

Oh my gosh!!!

Manila. April 10, 2010.

Super Junior is coming to the Philippines!

My gosh! I.. I feel.. I am so.. I.. How do I put this?

Shiet! I’m speechless.

***

Kimmy just confirmed it. They really are coming! They’re going to visit Manila as part of their Super Show 2 Tour (Manila Bulletin). I’ve really been expecting this since their album had reached gold status in the Philippines last year but I was still surprised when Kimmy texted me. My gosh! I still couldn’t believe I’m gonna meet them this soon. How I wish I could hug Kyuhyun! Actually, I’m already devising a plan. I’m gonna bake cookies and give them to him. Or I’m gonna make a huge placard with his name and picture. Kyuhyun!! ♥

Draft saved on January 15, 2019 @ 23:50

So that was the draft I saved last night. I should be publishing it right now, but the excitement is over. Thanks so much to the concert’s organizers for pricing the tickets that high. My mom didn’t allow me to attend it. :’(

Sighs. I really wanted to see them. Anyway, The Frustrated Artist gave me a very brilliant idea! So… violin, anyone? For only 2,000 Php, buy now! Please!!!
