Finally home. I tried really hard to find you on soompi site without a result. Your name comes up but I can't get to the place I can click and get to your profile. I guess my current status can be described as brain dead... So reluctantly, I'm posting my address: admin at celestialorigins dot com. Thank you so much.

@ 299 langdon813 :

I'm so sorry it's been such a rough year for you. I had a great year up until September and it's been chaos ever since (karmic payment for the calm and space of the preceding 8 months...). I can't imagine how I could have got through without YB to focus on and look forward to, but only really in the context of DB and the OT. YB just by itself as a solo pleasure wouldn't have been enough to make things bearable.

THANKS all! (It's not my Thanksgiving, but I'm celebrating our southern neighbours' holiday with some transplanted friends this week, so here I am getting in the spirit.)

@langdon
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the song that you're thinking of was for the Prius commercial....not sure though

I hope all my OT friends and "families" will have a safe and happy Thanksgiving...think of me when you guys are watching the final episode of YB...

back at my parent's house and snuggled in bed with my laptop.

sneaked a peak at IRIS ep 13 even though i haven't watched since ep 4 since i decided i want to marathon the whole thing after it's done airing. i've been kinda bad and scanning through each ep just to see some TOP (he seriously has like 5 minutes per ep, if that) and was sad that eps 9-12 had zero of him. ep 13 he was in it for about a minute and said not a word. but my Tabi doesn't need to say a word and i'm ok with that.... cuz he is hot hot hot!!

So, funny thought popped in my head whilst i was watching my 3 minutes of TOP... u know how there was an article chronicling the 100 hairstyles of TK in YB?? they need to do that for TOP in IRIS.. everytime he comes onscreen i swear he has a different hairstyle! and lemme tell ya, the boy can pull them all off. he is that hot.

ok now off to finish YB... sigh. i can't believe this show is almost over. i will be glad to resume living though, as my life has totally revolved around this show the last 7 weeks.

I have IRIS to thank for introducing me to Big Bang. I knew who they were, of course (and TOP, well, nuff said); but I never listened to their music until hearing their song "Hallelujah" from the OST. And now I can't listen to it enough.

I love the skull shoes TOP wears when he's on the job...and the not-so-inconspicuous green jacket he sports while on a shooting rampage. Because he is just so badass, he can totally get away with it. ;-)

@ langdon813 - my first Big Bang song was Haru Haru and it's still my favorite song and video. Just such an awesome balance of melody and rapping (Tabi's growly rapping gets me everytime) and the video is so wonderfully angsty. I'm glad IRIS brought you to the wonderful world of Big Bang, even if my Tabi is only in it for so little. I believe he gets more of a storyline in future eps and i'm totally looking forward to it.

"I love the skull shoes TOP wears when he’s on the job…and the not-so-inconspicuous green jacket he sports while on a shooting rampage. Because he is just so badass, he can totally get away with it. " - hell to the yeah.

I wish they would make a separate Hallelujah MV with the BB boys... even if it's just 3 of them actually featured in the song, Daesung and Seungri could totally have roles too!!

Have you heard their new Japanese song "Koe Wo Kikasete" from the Ohitorisama soundtrack? English title is "Let Me Hear Your Voice"... beautiful song (GD and TOP are only at the end, but man Daesung has a heavenly voice).

@ 284 lovenyc52
hottie show is coming up on this week's episode! this eppie will be full of angst and bound to make me tear up, because our adorable couple will be separated! and then hottie show will appear and trample on the heart of the one he so dearly loved three years ago! i think hi, my sweetheart will be reallyyyy angsty and heart-wrenching from this point on. it's gonna be hella awesome!
speaking of show, did anyone here go to his concert at mohegan sun? i desperately wanted to go, but curse the fate of a college student still under the iron fist control of her mother..

i've started 9 end, 2 outs thanks to OT-ers' recommendation, and i was confused about smth. hyung tae goes on a vacation, but he unexpectedly returns much earlier than planned. was he on his way to spain to find his first love, or? i remember the sequence was, he arrived in front of his door when nan hee and jun joo were smooching in his apt, and then it back-tracks to him flirting on the plane with this girl. he said he got all his money stolen? was it the girl he was flirting with who stole the money? or did he actually lie and spent all the money on the trip to madrid? if so, why did he come back so early? was it b/c he was unsuccessful in finding his first love?
thanks to anyone who could clear up the confusion, and happy feasting!

@ annieee - i believe i have only watched up to ep 3, so i'm assuming you mean ep 5 this weekend is when they separate and the angst begins. can't wait!!! i wish show would come to cali for a concert! i know he was part of jolin's concert when she at the Brens Event Center in Irvine, but that was years ago before i even knew who he was. sigh. i also gave up a chance to see him and jolin at Luxy in Taiwan a few years back too... again - before i knew who he was. dammit! as for 9E20, i believe what happened is hyung tae spent his money to fly there and he either couldn't find her or decided that he didn't want to (i'm not sure the exact reason). he was lying to nanhee when he told her he got his money stolen because he didn't want her to know where he had gone and why. but basically because he didn't want to stay in madrid as long as he was planning to, he came back a lot earlier than planned and had to scramble for a reason to give nanhee. sorry, it's been awhile since i've watched it so i'm a bit fuzzy on the details.

IRIS ep 14 - TOP is hot. i want to share rings with him. and for him to make me coffee in the morning. the end.

I'm with you!

I love them! Somebody told me about Bigbang sometime ago and check them out and since then, I've been a fan.

Especially Haru Haru and Koeo kikasete, they are my current fav. my brother went "You have turned into real obasan." while I was talking about DBSK and Big Bang. Oh, well...

I have had the song Koe Wo Kikasete from the Ohitorisama stuck in my head the whole day. Kinda weird to be eating turkey while humming it in my head. I am also pretty new to Big Bang, but I think I am turning into a fan pretty fast.

@ lovenyc52

yes it is ep 5! this sunday! im getting my tissues ready.
i am so sad that i missed the concert. because it turns out i could have totally went.
thing is, my grandpa is a mohegan sun-frequenter, and apparently, they can get free tickets/use allotted points to "buy" tickets to the show?! i only found out today during our thanksgiving dinner. someone was mentioning how dad got a new karaoke machine. she mentions that i probably won't find show luo's songs on it though. grandpa hears the name and says, "why didnt u tell me earlier? this guy's performing at mohegan sun, right? i could've gotten tickets for you." gahhhhhh. u have no idea how upset i was. everything could've been planned perfectly for an excursion to mohegan sun. for FREE. not to mention the concert was just yesterday. what luck : (
(also, dad tells whole family im a hard-core fan of show. distant relative from taiwan asks, "zhen da ma?" "really?" i proceed to nod my head sheepishly. i think the whole world knows of my fangirl obsession by now.)
and just to share, news of his concert at mohegan sun popped up on the nytimes! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/27/nyregion/27gamble.html?ref=nyregion
thanks for the clear-up on 9 end 2 outs! im liking the drama quite alot, and who doesnt want a real-life hyung tae? also finally finished coffee prince (dont know why it took me so long to), and was left with a giddy feeling! but, probably no love story can ever trump city hall's. jo gook & shin mi rae = INTENSE LOVEEE

Hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving had a wonderful day with loved ones. :D

@ Samsooki

I was deeply moved by your Thanksgiving wishes....
until, of course, I came across the - "And finally, send JB an email asking for her to officially declare that KJH is mine and not hjkomo’s."

Now, why on earth would you think JB would do such a thing? She may be on vacation, but her brain certainly isn't. ;)
Perhaps, you should take Shin Woo's advice and - LET IT GO.
You've done all you could...."gone to the end"...
so just sit back, relax, and....hope karma doesn't come back to bite you in *ss. :P

@#277, ockoala
"Added bonus on Angel’s Temptation:

The indescribably awesome Lee Jong Hyuk even shows up in an multi-episode cameo that totally caught me off guard, I had to rewind to make sure it was him. Then I realized must have been between days of shooting that three-way sword fight mano-a-mano-a-mano scene with Jang Hyuk and Oh Ji-ho in Chuno, and he needed a break. Or else he thought Angel’s Temptation was Green Rose 2 (man comes back with a new identity to seek REVENGE!).

No matter the reason, he popped up in Angel’s Temptation to mess with my mind, and steal every scene he’s in, well, because he’s Lee Jong Hyuk, and he tends to do that, it happens when he enters into the frame."

Sis - All I read of the above, the first time around, was LEE JONG HYUK....
blah, blah, blah....CHUNO....blah, blah, blah....LEE JONG HYUK. :P

I wasn't about to touch Angel's Temptation, even with a ten-foot pole, but if Lee Jong Hyuk is making an extended cameo, then I may be tempted to check out his scenes. Which ones is he in? More info, please! :D

@#308, langdon813

That Seo Taiji parody is hilarious! Wow, brings back memories...
But my first thought was - Aren't the A.N.JELL kids a bit young for it?
I mean, it's kind of like the Jonas Brothers doing a parody of RUN-D.M.C., no? :P

-------

So, I finally finished YB. It only took 5 hours to get through (between dinner, some football, and watching a movie). I'm glad I chose to watch today's ep of Hero first, though. YB had a nice, cute ending, and it was fun and entertaining but not one of my favorites. (Yes, I know I'm in the minority.) It just didn't pull me the way ROI or Tamna did this year. *sigh*

So, if you're looking for something new to watch, check out Hero. With JB's recap of the first 2 eps, you should be able to bypass the confusion over the set-up. Episodes 3 and 4 were much better on that front. I'm not a Lee Junki fan, so he definitely wasn't the draw for me, but I like the characters and the story.
Team Underdog is awaiting new membership. :D

Nice, cute ending...but still

@ annieee - man oh man!!!! i'm sorry you couldn't watch Show. i've heard he's a great performer. but at least we get to see him on tv each week hehe. i read the article you posted and it says he performed at 2a.m. and 2p.m...which just makes me think.. of 2AM and 2PM and how much i love them lol! i hope the 9E2O explanation made sense... like i said, i'm not totally positive on the specifics cuz it's been awhile since i've watched it, but that's the general gist of it. i'm glad you're enjoying it though!! we all need hyung taes in our lives huh?

@ celestialorigin and jtinma - i'm actually pretty new to Big Bang as well... i've known who they were for awhile now, but only within the last few months have i REALLY started digging into their interviews and MVs and such. and man there's so much out there! i have almost all their music and i believe have watched all their MVs as well. but even as they have been pretty inactive in korea this past year (concentrating on breaking out in the Japan market), there's so much older stuff that i've been kept pretty occupied hehe. I've also managed to convert a couple of my friends *ahem lb_tmi!* to BB fans hehe. they are a very talented group of *young* boys and i'm loving what i'm seeing and hearing!!
