So this past year alot of KPOP and KEntertainers have gotten H1N1 and only one major casualty (RIP). The latest victim spanning from SS501 Leader, members of 2AM-Jinwoon and Jo Kwon, SHINee-JongHyun and Onew, Lee Wan etc is entertainer/actor/model/singer/mc Lee Seung Gi 이승기/李昇基. He was slated to perform on this week in LA with Son Dam Bi. But due to his health, he has to curtail all activities as he recovers.

Seems Korean Entertainers have crazy schedules causing them to have not good chance to take care of their health. With their weakened immune systems with tight schedules, no wonder there are alot of stuff happening.

Hope he recovers quickly. I have become a fan thanks to old Xmen, Love Letter, hit song 내 여자라니까 /결혼해 줄래 and the recent drama I caught (one of the drama hits this year so far) 찬란한 유산.

Wheesung 휘성 has a song titled "Trickling" 주르륵. I really don't know him very much. But apparently he is good. He got his friend actor Ji Sun  지성/池城 (New Heart/Save the Last Dance/All In) to be in his MV as well.

너무 행복했어. 그게 늘 불안했어.

언젠가 이별이 꿈을 깨듯 올테니

니가 없어도 나 겨우 살 수 있도록

각오쯤은 하면서 오늘을 준비했어.

날 떠나 가는 널 그저 이해 하는 척.

슬프지 않은 척 괜히 남자 다운 척.

나 어깨를 펴고 나 손을 내밀고

보기 좋게 보내주려 했었는데.

참 말이 없던 하늘은 끝내 내편이 아닌 듯.

마른 날씨에 검은 구름을 하나둘씩 몰고 들어왔어.

난 울음을 참는데 어느새 내 얼굴에 주르륵 주르륵

굵은 빗방울 내려 꼭 내가 우는 것처럼 오해하게 만들어

왜 내가 싫어 졌는지 뭐가 지겨 웠는지

묻고싶은 마음이 목을 졸라도

난 더 밝게 웃으며 말할꺼야 참 좋은 사랑했다고

Bye Bye Bye Baby 나의 나의 나의 평생 영원히 (영원히) 소중히 (소중히)

간직될 고마운 사랑안녕

갈 곳이 없다면 그저 비켜 주려해

몰래 니 소식만 찾아서 들을께

허락해줄래 나 혼자 숨어서 너를 추억하는일은 할 수 있게

나 너란 사람 만나서 사랑이란걸 배웠어

그 값진 마음 난 잊고 다음 생에도 널 다시 만나길 빌꺼야

난 울음을 참는데 어느새 내 얼굴에 주르륵 주르륵

굵은 빗방울 내려 꼭 내가 우는 것처럼 오해하게 만들어

왜 내가 싫어 졌는지 뭐가 지겨 웠는지

묻고싶은 마음이 목을 졸라도

난 더 밝게 웃으며 말할꺼야 참 좋은 사랑했다고

나 가진게 너무나도 없어서 보내줄때 쥐어줄 기억이 필요했어

맑은공기와 잔잔한바람 멋진이별을 만들고 싶었는데

난 울음을 참는데 어느새 내 얼굴에 주르륵 주르륵

굵은 빗방울 내려 꼭 내가 우는 것처럼 오해하게 만들어

왜 내가 싫어 졌는지 뭐가 지겨 웠는지

묻고싶은 마음이 목을 졸라도

난 더 밝게 웃으며 말할꺼야 참 좋은 사랑했다고

Bye Bye Bye Baby 나의 나의 나의 평생 영원히 (영원히) 소중히 (소중히)

간직될 고마운 사랑안녕

Bye Bye Bye Baby 나의 나의 나의 평생 영원히 (영원히) 소중히 (영원히)

간직될 고마운 사랑안녕

Was too happy. Always felt insecure.
Someday break-up will come as if waking up from a dream
Even without you “I will just get by”
That’s what I had in my mind as I prepared today
You leaving me, and me pretending to understand…
Pretending not to be sad. Pretending to be a decent man.
Stretching out my shoulders. Stretching out my hands
And tried to look good.
The silent sky as if it’s not on my side
It came with dark clouds on a clear sky.

I am holding back my tears but all of the sudden it’s rippling-rippling
Thick raindrops dropping and now it gives misconception that I am trying
"Why did you begin to dislike me, which part has gotten boring"
That’s what I want to ask, but
I will say “It was good relationship” with a brighter smile.
Bye Bye Bye baby, my, my, my love which will be treasured forever (forever) and preciously (preciously).
Good bye you grateful love.

If you have no where to go, I will move away
I’ll secretly hear new-info about you
Give me permission, I will hide alone so I can remember those memories
I’ve learned a lot about love after meeting you
That precious feeling, forget me and I will pray that I will meet you again next life.

I am holding back my tears but all of the sudden it’s rippling-rippling
Thick raindrops dropping and now it gives misconception that I am trying
Why did you begin to dislike me, which part has gotten boring"
That’s what I want to ask, but
I will say “It was a good relationship” with a brighter smile.

I had nothing, so when sending me away, I needed a memory to grab on to
Clean air and calm wind. I wanted to have a “cool” farewell but...

I am holding back my tears but all of the sudden it’s rippling-rippling
Thick raindrops dropping and now it gives misconception that I am trying
"Why did you begin to dislike me, which part has gotten boring"
That’s what I want to ask, but
I will say “It was good relationship” with a brighter smile.
Bye Bye Bye baby, my, my, my love which will be treasured forever (forever) and preciously (preciously).
Good bye you grateful love.

So those who know me, I have lived in my place for over a year. But have not really unpacked. Ok you can blame it on laziness (I confess that is true) but more purely for procrastination purposes. I am always away and out and about. The last thing I need is to unpack stuff that has no "home" or place to go. A big problem when you don't have alot of space and storage options (got to buy them). But if I get a sofa then I really have to get my butt in gear to unpack or move around the stuff in the living room.

Before moving to our current place, we had not really much furniture. Just a small coffee table and picnic table. The rest was in boxes. We opted not to bring beds/bureaus and other stuff. So moving took still 3 hours with three guys but it was efficient from a 3rd floor apartment (no elevator) to second floor condo with an elevator (but on the other side of the building). Due to all the stuff it took time. I cannot imagine moving with furniture as well!!!

So I did try to look for sofas and have not encountered one we liked. My parents are old school and thought black leather sectional (ie like theirs at home). BLECH! We argued wanting a fabric sofa and one that we can have guests sleep on. We wanted it to be comfortable but not wanted to worry about the any springs and what not. We looked at all types even at IKEA. But thought the quality was not good. If we are going to buy, we should INVEST and get a good quality piece. We are in no rush to host any parties or have people over.

Last night finally my mom likes a sofa we like as well from Crate and Barrel. It is called the "sidecare sectional" and we love it. We are worried about getting it into our  place. So got to measure it. My folks like it that you can lay on it comfortably. Plus we both love the Jack fabric in charcoal. My sis is going to measure and check it out. Otherwise it is on our wish list. If that is true, then I better get cracking moving and unpacking and figuring out what to do with my stuff. (Oh the horror, but I guess I cannot procrastinate any longer. Maybe during the holidays?)

Yeah once it is settled then we can finally put out our 42 inch flatscreen that has been hibernating. Hmm should unearth the 16G iPod Touch too. (Yeah not always on the edge of technology but then again those who know me that is not my thing.)

After living at our place over a year and two months, we had our first ever meeting last night and I did not attend. At least my sis did as I had class and later met up with parents to celebrate my mom's upcoming bday.

According to my sis, many issues were brought up and the talk about raising the condo fees by $22. Also she heard many complaints from the other tenants especially from the "penthouse" owners. Turns out a few had single person living alone. So many things were brought up.

1) Concierge---complaints about the service 2) humidity in the storage area-thanks to my sis I STORE nothing there save empty boxes and plastic boxes (other tenants had mold on their stuff) 3) more energy efficient light bulbs in parking garage 4) complaints about the landscaping/bricks changing color 5)Directory of all the residences

Though we have lived there over a year, we don't know our neighbors at all!

There were more but I was not there and my sis did not decide to enumerate them back to me. PHEW!

This morning someone decided to startup their leaf blower at 7:30AM! I felt bad for my sis as she has later hours than I do. My parents were not even up then! (I was shocked as my dad has to head south back home for work! Plus to navigate traffic is not fun!)

So had Korean Class #7 and I missed last week's due to a bday party for JKL. I am glad I did as I met a cool person at the party---a gal raised in KL, of Indian descent, went to University in VA and now lives in Symphony in Boston.

Today's class was small just me, 재범 and Shirley.

So only a few more classes left. Though it was Veteran's Day (a Federal Holiday) we had class and I did have work too.

Today we talked about using "Is it possible" and "Can I ...." to using comparisons etc.  One thing I love is the side notes when the students ask stuff that is not necessarily in the handouts etc. This is when I learn alot.
