IU - Modern Times&Kahi - Who are you? It's ME!

IU!!! KAHI!!! >///<

I have been addicted to TWO particular singers lately and have their song on repeat ever since they came out!! Sexy Kahi who is now a solo artist but is from the group After School and Young IU. They are both Korean and GREAT singers, dancers, and actress. Both songs came out the same week in October and not only that, One is more 2013 music, the other is more 1920's/1930's vintage and classy music.

So this post is about their Albums and how I am addicted and have been listening.
Feel free to read or just Skip this post but I Just wanted to talk about them in general because it's been a LONG while since I've heard from these two Artist.

IU is a Korean pop singer who is very talented, young, and always on the move!! She sings both Korean and Japanese but is Korea born. Not only does she sing, but she acts too and was the main actress in a few Korean dramas. Her most recent drama she acted in was called, "You are the best, Lee Soon Shin."

Recently, her 3rd album, "Modern Times," came out on October 8th, 2013 with the music video called, "The Red Shoes," which is based on the story about how a pair of red shoes that you wear and no matter what, you will dance. It is a strong meaning and the music is very classy and has this 1920's/1930's feel which makes you want to get up and dance!! Every time I hear this song, it really makes me dance >///< but not only that, all the song on this album are great songs and different. I feel like this song make IU feel and look more mature.

In this Album, She has a total of 13 Songs and her 13th Song is a bonus song that she has translated into Korean from one of her Japanese Album. Among the songs, they all very vintage, classy, and addicting. I have her whole album purchased!!

02. IU (feat. Brown Eyed Girls's Gain) - Everyone Has a Secret

Here is the Music Video to, "The Red Shoes."

Kahi started her Solo career back in 2011 with her debut song called, "Come back you Bad Person." The song consist of electric and pop song. I personally thought it was a great song, and it makes you wanna dance and just move even if you cannot dance. It has a great catchy tune, song was very sexy and had its easy dance moves that everyone could learn. I personally think it was sad that she was leaving her Group she debuted with called, "After School," because of this solo career she wanted to chase but I think that it was time for her to leave since the group was always growing with great new members too.

Her new mini album called, "Who are you? It's ME!" that came out on October 10th, 2013 with the music video, "It's ME!" who features Dumbfounded in this song makes me see her as 'KAHI' and not 'After School Kahi' anymore. This song has this nice dreamy groove tune and a little bit of dubstep sound which makes this song very cool and easy to snap to. I personally like this song because it relates to a lot of girls about how they are judge and how we, as a solo person, can be bad, cool, and sexy. When I read this song featured Dumbfounded, he sings Korean and I did not know he could sing Korean (O . O) !!!

In this Mini Album, she has 6 new songs that are all great and fantastic!! Yes, I have purchased all her songs from this album and I listen to every single on of them. You will have to listen to know what kind of music is put to each song but what I can say is that, they all relate to your life somehow and makes you want to listen to them over and over again.

Album: Who are you? It's ME! [2nd Mini Album]
01. Kahi (Feat. Swings) Boys and Girls
02. Kahi (Feat. Dumbfounded) It's ME!
03. Kahi (Feat. Dok2) Hey Boy
04. Kahi (Feat. 베카) Sinister
05. Kahi (Feat. Yoon Do Hyun) Colorful World
06. Kahi - Slow

Here is the Music Video to, "It's ME!"

I am actually writing this blog spot while eating airheads to be honest which is really really good but bad for my teeth. Anyways, I personally enjoy these two artist and all the songs on their albums that came out. I don't write much reviews because a lot of people do them but I personally wanted to do a review these songs because IU seems to be getting a lot of views on her music video, "The Red Shoes," which makes sense knowing that she is loved and very cute but Kahi isn't and she's sexy, hardcore, and not only that, her music has a nice groove sound that makes you wanna snap and be a bad-ass!! From my opinion, Kahi deserves some more attention because I believe she will come out on top one day and make a break just like IU did.

 I had a rough day to start with but I am ending it with a simple notice:

I will have a haul, reviews, and a lot more coming soon when all my things are shipped in from recent purchases I have made online. More videos on my YouTube channel and post on my blog if you guys don't want to watch the videos. 

Hope you guys have a great week!! I know I will since my Sunday started out pretty bad but ended on a good note
For some odd reason, I actually finished all my Airheads by the end of this post?!!
Another reason not to eat sweet things at night nor while your blog. Need to do twice the brushing tonight!!

Birthday and Concert!!!

Hi my Snow Flakes!!!
Happy Day for my Boyfriend's Birthday!!
He is official 20 years old and I am happy to say that was not the only things that had happened all day!! To be exact, This all happened on Tuesday, December 4th, 2012 and I must say, it was a rough day to be exact. It started out kind of slow like a normal Tuesday and on his Facebook, People where spam walling him 'Happy Birthday' which is normal on Facebook since the who reminder thingy.


OKAY!! Finally around noon-ish, I had OFFICIAL got up and started to get ready to make cake for the boyfriend. It was homemade with cake mix batter from Cubs [I love my CUBS], Strawberries, and cream that was almond tasting which was really really good!! I love the taste of it!! I worked really hard to make the cake happen and stuff plus I like had to wait so long to make it, have it cool and stuff..!! I forgot to take a picture of the finally look of the cake which is bad but WHEN I make another cake, I will definitely take a photo of it!
So here is how I prepared for it:


I washed my Strawberries, prepared the cream filling for the cake and drank roasted coconut juice as a caffeine drug because coffee is way too much for me as a person who just barely woke up and not doing much. I prefer candy to keep me up than coffee for some odd reason..? I am just weird like that but that is my drug. Luckily, I didn't have to work so that was nice!!

After mixing everything to make the cake, I had placed in the oven that I preheated at 350 like the directions said to and all I  had to do now was to wait for about 15-20 minutes for the cake before I can official go check on it and when I had gone back, I poked a toothpick in it but it was not ready yet.


It was funny looking at first and so I just left in there for a while and left the oven light on and came back occasionally to check on it before the cake was actually ready. While I waited, I got ready and was putting on makeup.

HOW I DID THE CAKE:
If you are all wondering what I did with the cake, I cut it in half when it was ready and after it had cooled, cut it into a rectangle shape. I had created a 2 layer cake with real strawberries inside while adding the cream inside to make it taste good and for the strawberries to stick. If you guys want a basic cake tutorial on that, just let me know in the comment section below please of YouTube me a message.

After the making the cake, getting done putting on my lashes, and cleaning everything, I had finally had my Boyfriend come and get me so we can go to a concert my sister won tickets too. The concert was called, "Jingle Ball 2012," presented by our local famous radio show 101.3 KDWB and it was fun.

Just took this picture while blogging...! Silly me!!
People/Groups PERFORMING was:
- Conor Maynard
- Ellie Goulding
- Cher Lloyd
- Owl City
- One Republic
- Ed Sheeran
- Train
- PSY of Gangnam Style!!!

Now, I was pretty happy when I heard PSY was coming to perform. I know it't only one song but come one, Who doesn't want to see PSY perform live and see YG Entertainment dancers?! Teehee, but anyways, it was an awesome night! My boyfriend and I seats were pretty high but I didn't really care as long as I got to be there. I mean, IF I had time to buy a good seat I would have but this was kind of unexpected too so, I personally didn't mind the seating.


My Favorite performance was One Republic because they were the group that interacted with the crowd the most and same with Train, Owl City, and PSY but not only that, They were the group that really stood out for me through out this whole performance because they did not only play their most famous songs, but also played on the there new songs which I am so IN LOVE with personally and I can't wait for it to come out on iTunes cause I will go crazy!! You guys will really like this new song that will come out in 2012 cause it a mix of all music genres!! Here is a Video of there performance in Minnesota at Jingle Ball:


The song is called: If I lose Myself - One Republic

I believe this was one of my Favorite concerts so far that I have been to that is my Favorite just because I was with my Boyfriend and it was his Birthday but not only that, I got to see PSY who is a korean popstar and I know it's not really a big deal but it is at the same time but see it like this:

If there was a chance a foreign popstar came to perform in you city for the first time and it's kind of the closest you can get to one for now, would you go?

It was kinda hard me for me to say 'I don't care' because I do listen to korean pop and Gangnam Style is just so Popular too so, WHY NOT is what I said plus my sister had won extra tickets too.


I did not really take a lot of photos because:
1. I was wither recording
2. Saving my battery cause my phone had died too
3. Was saving it for PSY performance.

Here is a Photo of Owl City:

When the Concert ended, we just left, went back to my Boyfriend's place and celebrated his birthday before the day was over cause the concert was from 6 pm till 11 pm. So here are some photos of US together at the concert and him with the HOMEMADE CAKE I had made.
