Day 5 – Your Second Favorite Teaser

I already briefly mentioned this before in Day 1 of the challenge, but my second favorite teaser is probably Teaser 23 with Kai feat. the rest of Exo members.



Actually I’m really glad to do this challenge since it forced me watch this teaser again and it’s so much more interesting to watch now that I know which member is which lol. I’m not going to do screencaps of this one because it’s one of those teasers you HAVE to watch in motion; taking pictures just won’t do it justice.

It’s another Kai-centered teaser, so I was not too thrilled about that, BUT it is the only teaser with all 12 of them, so yay! Kai’s dancing was so smooth and on point…I was really really impressed considering the Korean pop scene is all about popping and locking and powerful dance moves, yet Kai was so fluid and really amazing at putting his own interpretation to the moves. I can definitely see his ballet background in this performance. My favorite part was when he twirled his head around at 0:48-0:49….he just is able to put so much individuality and flair into his dancing!

Anyway, I don’t have too much else to say about the teaser, so I will leave it at that!

Have some bb Kai trying hard to be sexy LMAO (seriously, wtf is he doing lloollllllll)


P.S. omg I know it’s annoying that I complain about this in every post, but seriously….WHERE IS MY CD D:?!?!! Yesasia used to be so quick with shipping and I would get everything within a week (it’s been probably since I last ordered from Yesasia). I guess they’re shipping from Hong Kong rather than California these days? Guh….. It’s technically only been 7 business days since it shipped so I have maximum 7 more business days to go. Please don’t make me suffer any longer EXO gods!!!

Day 4 – Your Ultimate Bias from EXO

Hmmm, was this meme not very well thought out? I mean, 2 days dedicated to a bias is a little redundant since there is nothing else left to say about them. I guess everyone else just posts a picture rather than writing long essays like me (I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS TOWARDS EXO, OK ;A;!).

So I guess today is another Unicorn pic spam day?? Although, Tao is always close to overcoming Lay on my bias list and Kris ALMOST surged ahead of both of them from #3 to #1 because how UNF UNF he was in the EXO-M performance on Show Champion. I almost forgot how much I don’t like his hair color that how delicious he looked. Speaking of which, I might as well use this entry as excuse for flail over the Show Champion performance since I don’t have too much to add about Lay.

Thoughts on Show Champion performance and interview with Exo-M:
1. UMMMMMMM ERRYWON LOOKED SO GOOD IT WAS RIDICULOUS. The make-up and hair was on point (maybe too much eyeshadow for Lay, but then again I downloaded a pretty high quality video when I can probably see every single pore on their skin lbr) and costumes were classy and not garish at all
2. DUIZHANG SPEAKING MANDARIN, ENGLISH, AND CANTO OMFG!!!!! Well, actually the Canto didn’t give me as many feels as I thought it would (maybe I’m still on my high from all his English speaking), but I get feels almost every time Kris speaks tbqh
3. LITTLE PEACH INTRODUCING HIMSELF AS KUNGFU PANDA AND OMG HIS KOREAN IS SO ADORABLE AND HE EVEN DID A FLYING CARTWHEEL aldfj;ldkfj;ladskjfdladfj;ldjkfj!!!!!
4. LAY LOOKING SO HAPPY AND SMILEY AND OMG I’M SUCH A CREEPER BUT I REALLY WANTED TO RUB MY CHEEK AGAINST HIS
5. NANSHEN’S “I WILL DOMINATE YOU IN BED” LOOKS THROUHOUT THE MAMA PERFORMANCE + HIS ONE WINK OMG TAKE ME NAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
6. Tao’s little mess up where he moved into the wrong position….adorable!
7. Tao being the fierce little panda he is all over that stage
8. Everyone was so ON POINT and ENERGETIC throughout the whole performance. This may just be my Exo-M bias speaking (I love K, too! Just to a slightly lesser degree, but they are still my adorable bbs, too :3), but I thought this was hands down THE BEST performance I’ve seen of MAMA (excluding the live performances from Exo-K because I think it’s unfair to judge those to the same standard)
9. Man, was Luhan awkward at the end, though. He really cannot pull off fierce, sorry to say … his face is just not constructed to be uncute in any way shape or form!

Alright, now that I’ve gotten that off of my chest, back on topic with bias pic spam!

( Healing Healing! )

And that’s all! Have some QT happy Unicorn for your time~!

Also my CD STILL has not come yet >=:(!

Day 3 – Your Top OTP

My favorite OTP is probably Taoris because of the super cute pictures of them together. I’m not really a person who is into shipping, but seeing all the gifs and pics of their interactions makes me go “d’awww :’)” every time. I think what makes this pairing appealing to me is the fact that both of them are not really fanservice types, so it makes their relationship seem that much more genuine (unlike, say Sehun who is milking Sehan for all it’s worth and Suho who is desperate to be shipped with one of the top boys and is constantly macking on Kai and Luhan despite having no chemistry with either). Plus, the fact that Kris is fucking hot I’d be willing to pair him with anyone, tbh lol. I don’t have a lot to say about this topic, so let’s go on to the pictures!

( Onto the sexiest OTP in the Exo fandom, tbh! )

And that’s all for today!!! Hope you enjoyed! Have some sexy Krees for your time =D!


P.S. ugh my CD still hasn’t come yet T.T!!

Day 2 – Your Bias from Exo-M
Ugh, basically picking a bias is impossible when it comes to Exo, and for me, especially Exo-M, but I finally decided that my current bias is………………..Lay!

Now Lay was actually not someone who stood out to me in the beginning when the teasers came out. I think mostly because of his hair was a little too side swept for me to appreciate his face. When History’s MV came out, I began to notice him more and was like “oh wow, this guy is really good looking,” but again didn’t really pay close attention to him.

Lay actually has a pretty….interesting…past as a child celebrity and there are many cute but hilariously embarrassing videos of him circulating on Youtube and other video sites, I’m sure much to his chagrin. He’s also into composition and there is one gem called “My Girl” everyone should check out sometime loll. Everything to the prepubescent falsetto is glorious.

Despite being a little diva as a child, though, he has somehow become quite the reserved and awkward little unicorn. Ironically, though, I find that he shines out of all the Exo-M members besides Tao in interviews as far as being memorable. Chen and Xiumin cannot really be faulted since they’ve only been studying Chinese for a short amount of time, so communication is difficult (although Xiumin really does his best to communicate, that sweetie!) and Kris is too busying hauling ass for the rest of his anti-social members. And it’s not that Lay talks a lot, but when he does, something hilarious inevitably happens. For example:
1. Youku interview – When they were eating snacks, Lay was completely spacing out as usual and when the host was like “what is this snack called?” (it was some sort of snack made out of beans), Lay was like “Isn’t it Saqima (something completely unrelated)?” and the host and Luhan were all laughing their heads off and like “WTF ROFL Lay what are you talking about?!”
2. Tudou interview – When asked if Exo-M felt like they would be able to overcome the other male groups in China, Lay totally forgets what he’s saying halfway through and basically gave up and poor Kris was probably like “OMFG REALLY?! You guys are hopeless without me” when he took the mic and basically gave an awesome leader-like speech

Oh, Lay….it’s ok, I love you even when you fail like this
3. Basically the entire Yin Yue Tai he basically was very spacey, derpy, and abusive to the stuffed animals and Luhan. Thus, Abusive!Unicorn was revealed to us all

Even as one host said, “I don’t know why, but just looking at you makes me laugh.”

On stage, though, he totally transforms into a fierce dancing machine. I’m not going to argue as to who is better, Lay or Kai, as I think both are good in different ways, but Lay really shines as the main dancer of Exo-M. He is very sharp, yet fluid with his movements and pulls off a very sophisticated polished stage that I think none of the other members are able to pull off yet. It really is such a pleasure to see him perform because he is so effortless in what he does.

And did I mention that he plays guitar and piano and is decent singer in his own right? What can’t this lovely boy do?!


Anyway, I’ve probably been going on about this for way too long and destroying everyone’s f-lists with my extended drivel, so without further ado, pic spam!!!!!

( Unicorn’s single dimple invites you in )

( Handsome Unicorn )

( Derpy Unicorn )

OK and that’s all for today! Praying my CD will come tomorrow u_u!! Have one more unicorn for your time :)

Hiatus part 2 coming up for the next 6 weeks, so instead of surfing omona and exochocolate and various tumblrs, I will be doing the EXO 30 Day Challenge to fulfill my Exo feels and hopefully it will be less time wasting than the aforementioned activities. Hopefully actually writing full length sentences with passable grammar will help me become smarter over these next few weeks as well...(I can hope, right T.T)

So without further ado, let's start with:

Day 1 - Post Your Favorite Teaser

So this one was really difficult for me because I was trying to decide between Teaser 23 (where it's Kai ft. all the members with Into Your World playing in the background) and Teaser 15, which is Tao's second solo teaser. I really love Teaser 23 because the lighting choreography is just PERFECT. The simple use of shadow effects to highlight the transitions between the dancers and choreography is just spectacular in a very simple and elegant way. In the end I didn't end up picking this one because I wish we could have seen the other members faces at least!! Ah well ^^;;.

So in the end, I ended up picking Tao's second teaser, and WOW. This was first time I was drawn to Tao, and boy can he work the camera with his sultry fierce look! What a shocker it was to find out that he is actually the shy cutie of Exo-M lol!!! I love Tao both on and off screen, though =D. There's nothing much to say about this teaser except A) TASSLE PANTS!!! and B) A LOT OF KICK-ASSING GOING ON!! But somehow I ended up with a million screencaps and commentary lol.

Honorable Mentions: Kai and Luhan's Time Control Teaser and Lay's Phoenix teaser.

( In which I probably screencapped every other second )

And that's all! Until tomorrow which is.....*drumroll*......Bias from Exo-M

This should be interesting considering how this answer changes practically every hours lol.

P.S. Also, my Exo CD hasn't come yet....I hope it arrives on Monday T.T


If you've made it to end of this, ty so much for reading! Have a qt Tao =D!

BOOYAH ORDERED!!!!!!!






My reward to myself for scoring a 97% on my final this morning :)!!! (not that it really mattered because there was no way to improve my grade, but I'm still proud of that score :) )

Hopefully it'll arrive by Friday when my finals are finally OVAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Praying for a KunfuPanda, Krees, or Unicorn card. PLS PLS PLS!!!!!

K back to studying T.T

I saw a Caucasian person yesterday on the bus listening to BEG's Sixth Sense on their mp3/video player!

(this is amazing considering I live in a place where maybe 2% of the population is Asian and 90% is white)

Speaking of which, if you haven't listened to Sixth Sense, you should!!! It's SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!

I haven't really followed NEWS too closely after their hiatus, but as far as I'm aware, they haven't been too active as of late. Considering all of the scandals that happened in the past plus the lack of group camaraderie (people who think they all are "great friends" are probably the same people who believe that Akame still exists), it's no surprise really that they've fallen so far. Which is kinda sad considering how much time I spent fangirling them back in the day.

Anyway, no one remembers that one guy who was the 9th member of NEWS who left the company after their first single, but apparently the band he's been in since leaving is gaining popularity these days. I watched one of their PVs out of curiosity, and I have to say, their music is pretty good! So happy he jumped the Johnnys boat because he was one of the few Johnnys who actually had vocal talent.

It's been forever since I last posted here, but the imaginary required "one post a year" deadline I have set for myself is coming up and I might as well do it now before school starts tomorrow!

To be fair, though, a lot of my life involves a lot of bawwing (noooo D=), which I try to limit since when I set up this journal years ago, it was intended to separate my real life blog from my extreme fangirling entries. But over the years, life does change (A LOT. sometimes good and sometimes bad ^^;;) and slowly my real life journal phased into disuse as I was having major (to me, at least, although really in the grand view of things I suppose, it is relatively minor) struggles in my life and fell into minor depression mostly stemming from a loss of identity, anxiety and stress due to school (thus the lack of entries here). I want to say I have recovered and moved on from that (ala Disney-style!), but I still have major anxiety issues when it comes to the career I have chosen and my own capabilities and it's really hard to deal with problems in which you have no one to blame but yourself.

But life is difficult. Nothing in life comes easy. All those rich people, celebrities, models? They all had to work extremely hard to achieve the success they have today. Yes, luck and talent plays a role in getting people started, but there is no such thing as easy money or success (unless you're from a rich family or a gold digger =P). I just have to keep reminding myself this. Compared to the vast majority of people in the world, I have very fortunate circumstances.

Fight-O!!!! =D!!!

(but sometimes, whining and a good cry is really necessary, you know? Keeps the mind sane :), so long as it's in moderation)

Despite this entry, I don't really intend to convert this journal into a real life blog, I just wanted to give an update that I'm still alive and around to the probably <4 who still are active on my F-list and who actually read this lol. I mostly lurk on the arama, omona, and ohnotheydidnt forums these days, but I do check on my f-list from time to time so I am still very much an active member of LJ :)!


That aside, here are the TOP things I have been fangirling over recently !!




1. AKB48 - You either love or hate the concept I suppose. But cheery music and cute girls? Best combo ever, imo!!!! My oshimen (osu = to push, men = from "member", I believe) is Oshima Yuko although there are other girls I like too. Yuko is so hard-working, cheery and energetic...a total extrovert! I wish I could be like her! I was so sad when she didn't win senbatsu this year (an election where fans vote who gets the largest part in the next single)

2. Michael Fassbender and James Mcavoy - I think I've graduated from Korean idol to white European men stage lol. I adored them in X-men First Class (they played the young Magneto and Charles Xavier) and now have watched a large majority of their previous works. Plus, the enormous amount of slash fiction they have inspired is insane lol!

3. True Blood - yes it is very campy and cheesy and sometimes the characters are really annoying (looking at you, Tara!), but that's the charm!

I AM SO DISAPPOINT :(


How do you get this:


from this ?



Teaser was too much of a tease :(
