POV



I’ve read on some blogs that Leader, KHJ, is somewhat going on solo on his career. I mean he will leave his group, SS501. Let me say something about this. I wanna voice out my opinion too about this issue.

My first “sightings” with leader KHJ was on BOF drama. At first, I must admit I’m not really fond of the Korean f4 at that time ‘coz for me they’re somewhat “baklushi” or may I say they had this “feminine handsomeness”. But as I keep on watching the said drama, the story as well as the characters, started to stuck on me, making me crave for more esp. the character played by khj, which is Yoon Jihoo. After watching the full 25 episodes, I began to find and search other info about khj. I learned that he has a good, or better to say, admirable, superb moves in terms of dancing, he had a cool voice, and many fans loved his 4D-ness. He started his career as a leader with SS501. Like him, I had the same first “impression” with the other boys. I don’t like them. I prefer KHJ alone, without the other SS501 members.

So I continue to “follow” him. “Following” him means viewing his earlier and recent videos, reading news and articles about him, the past and the current issues. And upon doing these things, “ss501” always comes in on the subject. It’s like a mark that’s always on him, wherever he go. (SS501 members appear both on WGM and BOF.)

Accordingly, I started to watch them altogether. That’s when I understand the reason when fans said that HJL has changed. I saw one compilation of their earlier videos showing their happy moments together. KHJ was the loudest “laugher” of them all, he ROFL, he doesn’t care what the other says, and the sound of his laugh is simply contagious. I think that’s one thing that we didn’t see on leader nowadays.

I guess it’s not for us to judge what the problem is, for we don’t know the real story behind, and what the plan of DSP Entertainment for them is. Of course, the decision to stay or to go is still on leader’s hand. But for me, I am starting to love the whole SS501, and from watching their videos, I think leader is happier when he’s with them. And as what the SS501 stands for - Five Superstars United as One Forever - I think it should remain as what it should be.

Eleksyon 2010



Tomorrow will be our national election. I’m kind of excited & thrilled, afraid & anxious, yet happy & contented… mixed emotions. Maybe because I don’t know what will gonna happen tomorrow… We plan to go to a voting precinct tomorrow morning, and see if we can find our names on the registered voters. Actually, tomorrow is my first time to vote, that is if we are on the list. It’s my first time, and it’s automated. I’m in my 30’s yet I still have no experience in this voting process, huh! I’ve been registered before, I guess it’s already 10 years ago (if I’m not mistaken…), and from then  I didn’t use my right of suffrage. This is because I really have no one to vote… thinking that making an effort to go there, looking for the right voting precinct to vote, and just being there is a waste of time. Wasting my time and wasting the time of all the people in the precinct, ‘coz in the end there will be nothing to count from my ballot simply because we just put the word “neutral” on those printed papers. Furthermore, I’ve been always working on those days when they are holding our elections, so I’d rather not to take part on it.

But these very days, I come to think what if… What if I try this one?! Nothing to lose ‘though. I have no work this time around, ‘coz I’ve been on a vacation since April. It’s not that I’ll have to choose who I am going to vote this time. It’s just the experience that’s I want. So I’ll go.

Used this day on wandering around our neighborhood and along Ever Gotesco Mall, 'meet & greet' with my “fellow TS”, chatting over our 'princes', and singing their songs. Hahaha, one great day!
