Tell Me Your Wish

wondering why the title is Tell me Your wish? no i am not a genie or any sort..but this blog will be what i said awhile back that i would blog about...KOREAN MUSIC...no worries it's nothin serious...no debates or anything..just my preferences i guess...

i never would have thought i would blog about korean music but i was thinking about what i should blog about...and since i just paused my youtube video on a korean radio show...and organizing my korean music on Itunes..why not blog about korean music..

my blogs are usually boring...i dont even know who reads them..but who cares..haha. if they're boring..then they're boring..i will not promise you that any of my future blogs will be exciting..HAHA

so korean music...i know we all have different preferences when it comes to korean music..some may listen to it some may not. 

PAST TIME!..so..when i was in Junior high--ish...i absolutely LOVED korean music..back then i was crazy about FIN.K.L (Fine Killing Liberty)...SES, H.O.T, g.o.d..Fly to the Sky..etc..but mostly Fin.K.L..where i'm from..it's like mostly Americans..white people there..and hispanics too..but mostly white people..so you wouldnt think that i would listen to korean music..this went on til i was a sophomore in high school..then all of a sudden..korean music wasnt in my playlist..it was more rock, r&b, pop..country...well country was always my thang..ya know..hahha.. but yea..idk what happened..when i was a crazy krn music listener..i remember like imagining myself..being a STAR..haha i would sing to it like crazy and tell myself i'm going to be a star...now when i think about it...yea i wouldnt have made it..HAHA yea yea no self confidence..

PRESENT: and now...it's back to korean music..i still listen to country and others..but idk how it happened..but korean music is back on my playlist and thats pretty much all thats playing...we have 소녀시대(Girl's Generation), 카라(KARA), T-ARA, Brown Eyed Girls, SG WannaBe, 2AM, 2PM and the list goes on and on...

Tell Me Your wish..one of 소녀시대(Girl's Generation) biggest Hits..so catchy..music video is awesome..it's one of those songs you don't get sick of..unless you hear it everywhere you go..but whenever i'm in my car..and it comes on..man its the jam..haha there's alot of other good songs i listen to..or its good to my ears..but maybe later

why do i listen to them? songs are catchy..music videos are good, just simply entertaining i guess. no no i will not turn all fobby on ya'll...that would be the last thing that will happen to me..ya never know..i might try to become a kpop star...HAHA kidding kidding..

i'm pretty sure some of you blog readers have listened to korean music..it's not just korean people listening..i was surprised that my viet friend knew 소녀시대(Girl's Generation) and love them..or like TaeYang's Wedding Dress song..so it's all over the place..

to add to this korean music blog..i will admit i was korean shows..NOT dramas..well i did..only IRIS...but i used to watch ALL KINDS of korean dramas..still my all time fav. is Glass Slipper..but we all know that these dramas always have the same "theme"...someone gets leukemia..and dies..or like cancer...someone takes their place..or evil sister..and an innocent one in the family..along those lines..

I've always wondered how different the american music industry and korean music industry is...i watch like korean award shows..and american award shows..so different..i guess the atmosphere is just different..i've always enjoyed music award shows than tv award shows..i guess because music is what i'm trying to do right now..we see young artists at the age of like 12 or 13 trying out to be a star and they train like crazy..well in korea they do that..america..you can become a big star even when you're in your twenties..like for examply Carrie Underwood..won season 4 american idol when she was 21...now she's one of the biggest country stars out there..here i've always thought..hmmm american idol...give it a shot? but when i don't and i watch the show..i'm like..yea good decision not trying out..cuz man its so competitive..i know i'm very competitive to the point where i'll piss you off..cuz you have pissed me off..haha..but at times i just think..what if i did? but then again..it'll be a waste right? haha

Korean music will forever be in my blood..i can't help it.
this blog is way too long...sorry can't help but be boring..suckas!!!

Now...Tell me Your wish...HAHA kidding
PEACE OUT!

INSANITY WORKOUT DAY 1

don't worry i will not blog everyday of my workout..thats just too crazy..60 blogs..haha..but i will just blog about my first day of the INSANITY workout. so after the holidays i worked out with p90x on and off...then things just happened and just lost focus in working out..but i still tried to eat healthy...so when i heard about INSANITY of course i wanted to try it out..so i have all the videos and today was DAY 1 :)

DAY 1: Fit Test...25 min.

at first i was like fit test??? thats it? 25 minutes?? but i totally underestimated all that...i havent sweated that much since the first week of p90x..HAHA..even though today was just a 25 min workout with intense exercises..and it's just a fit test....man..i was huffin and puffin..that's when i knew i was so out of shape...so hopefully i will be motivated to do it for 60 days straight unless something very important comes up and i cannot workout..BUT NO EXCUSES!

THE FIT TEST..had exercises i've never done before which is why i find it fun. i find working out fun.. :) when i sweat and see that my shirt is wet..it makes me feel alot better..because then that tells me that i did work hard :)

p90x takes 90 days..INSANITY takes 60 days.. we shall see if this works..hahaha i plan on doing it more than once :)


Nutrition: a part of having a fit body is eating healthy..i try to eat healthy as much as i can..unless something or someone get in the way..but everyone gets a cheat day..or days..hahaha..sometimes i like to spoil myself with ice cream...or fatty snacks..but when i'm at home..i like to cook myself meals that i love..

today i made myself DDuk Gook (krn rice cake soup). i had this for brunch. i only put in green onions and Dduk and instead of red meat..i put in Oh Deng..(fish cake)..man...it's so good! HAHHA..
for dinner i made my awesome Kimchi JiiGae..again..and this time my mom tried it..and brother had it again for dinner...my brother already said it was delicious..now my mom's turn...she was AMAZED! haha she said i make it better than her..HAHAHHA..ya'll watch out..an awesome chef is here! haha
now i enjoy cooking at home..experimenting with whatever i have at home i guess..HAHAHA..
i never crave mexican food or american food..but i always crave different entrees of korean food..even though i eat korean food pretty much everyday..hahaha..

it's about 10PM now..and my body is already feeling sore..haha i actually love the feeling of being sore..weird?? hahah yea yea whatevers...

ALL IN ALL INSANITY IS GREAT!!! YA'LL SHOULD TRY IT! you'll feel great. even though i may not get the beach body or 6pack...as long as i'm healthy and fit..thats fine with me.

my next blog will be on Korean Music...stay tuned

INSANITY

soooooo it's been awhile since i have blogged. i was gonna wait to post up a new blog after i get my first album out..BUT there always some complication that gets in the way of the process..but i got the news that it should either done by the end of this week or early next week..we'll see if that's true.
but music-wise..things are just going slow. having technical difficulties at home so i cant record..i might just record without the equipment..i have like writer's block or something...my mind is just crazy with so many things.
main fanyways...it's that time of year where we start just wearing shorts and a tank top..but idk what's going on right now in southern california..it's raining..then it's sunny..then it's gloomy..and starts storming..weird..BUT it's time for me to "try" and get back in shape...HAHA i say try because so many temptations get in the way...but i must try and resist and start eating right and working out..i have done p90x a couple of times..on and off...i will still do p90x once in awhile..but i have a new main focus now..INSANITY

INSANITY is a new workout..kind of like p90x..but now its 60 days..PUHAHAHA i will not be ripped in 60 days..i know for sure i won't..i would probably be fit if i had more motivation and a person to eat properly with...THEN i would probably have the body i want..but i will try my best to be fit...i cannot become a couch potato..i will not accept that. so we'll see how this all goes.

that's pretty much what's going on in the life of Juno..

everyone who knows me..or has been around me for awhile..will probably realize that i don't eat meat much..and no i am not a vegetarian...i just choose not to eat that much meat..i will eat meat but not often..if it's a big family gathering then i will not refuse..i don't eat much meat at home..alot of my friends eat meat..so when we all hang out..for example..KRN BBQ..how can you not eat meat there when all thats there is meat..haha..so i will eat meat..but not THAT much..so you may think i'm a vegetarian because i eat mostly veggies...fruits..and krn food that doesnt have meat in it..haha..surprisingly there's alot..so i'm trying to make new things..but i dont have the money to buy all the ingredients..so i just use whatever i have in the fridge...

oh and a confession...so i gave up soda November of 2008..but i broke that..a couple of weeks ago when i went out to eat with one of my friends and Fanta Strawberry was just calling out to me..idk why..so right now that's the only soda i will drink...which is rare..so i'm still on the No Soda Diet i guess..but if theres Fanta Strawberry..it has to be strawberry..OR Fruit Punch..but i've only seen that in Hawaii..if they dont have those two...i will not drink soda..i prefer tea, vitamin water or just water. :)

thats about it right now..i shall blog once i get my cd in my hands...

until then...THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
