leave it to music to make you smile

___I've been having a pretty crappy summer lately (not that I didn't plan for this). It's too ridiculously hot to lifeguard; my "job" is a totally unprofessional environment; and my days have started at 6:30 am every morning for practice. I'm exhausted, worn down, and ready for August to come so I can fully relax. And, on top of all this, my poor face is recovering from a massive peeling, so it looks like I have a disease, and my hair is a dead, frizzy mess! My outer appearance is basically reflecting my exhaustion. (Read: No outfit pictures for probably a while!)
___But leave it to music make me smile for a full four minutes and to feel insanely happy all at once. I'm not one to listen to slow songs or sad songs because I generally don't want to feel down when I'm in a good mood or even worse when I'm a sad mood. I love listening to happy, sweet songs that bring a smile to my face and take me away for a few minutes. Cue "No Other" by Super Junior. No secret I'm a huge fan, and this music video is absolutely adorable. It shows all the guys setting up something cute to show their love for a girl, and, basically, all males should watch this for proper tips in impressing a girl. I'm personally a fan of the wall heart, but Kyuhyun is a part of that, and I'm a tad biased towards him!
___And don't worry if you don't understand Korean, because I definitely don't at all. You don't need to know the language to be cheered by this video!

  3. This looks so cute! Music makes me feel happy, too... not one for depressing songs.

    PS: omg. I had no idea Dakota Fanning was 16 already. I feel so old.

  4. I am sorry to hear that your summer is not going great. I hope August comes soon for you! I agree with you about music, that is why I love Weezer so much, their songs always make me feel better within seconds. I am glad that you found songs that do the same for you!

    When I get home I will be checking out your recomendations :)

  5. I am so glad you like Nana. For me, the members of Trapnest are really cool. Reira is a beauty and you'll hear in the anime what beautiful songs she sings. In the beginning I didn't like " I need a girl" that much, but after seeing him live on music shows, Inkigayo, Mnet Coutdown, Music Bank and Music Core I am hooked on the coregraphy and the concept of the song. "Just a feeling" is better from my point of view though...
    P.S The MV is so cute. Leeteuk with red pants is love :))

  7. I love this post - music totally is a cheerer upper. Hang in there with the heat! We're freezing over here and I'm relieved to see the sun has poked itself out for 15 minutes just now at 1:00pm in July in Cali.

    For frizz hair (which i sadly can totally relate to) - try Sebastian Drench shampoo and conditioner. It's not super expensive and it gets.the.job.done.
