Kpop Playlist

I find it hard to find a playlist with lots of upbeat kpop. So I made a playlist of kpop songs that I like. Music from Big Bang, WG, SNSD, Epik High, etc.

When I’m studying in the library and my ipod has low batteries. I just go to my playlist here. =)

Losing Weight

Have you ever tried to lose weight? Well if you did how? Most people will tell you to go running or eat less. That definitely works. I just wanted to share some things I’ve learned.

First off I learned that to lose weight the rough guideline is to eat less than 10 times your body weight in calories. (i.e. 125lbs -> Eat less than 1250 calories to lose weight). Normally you shouldn’t do that cause you’ll be lacking energy for the day.

I see so many people in fitness centers jogging for 40 – 60 minutes nonstop in order to lose weight. Sure it works but each time you might have to increase your running time. Think about it if you were to compare a sprinter and a long distance runner who would you say is slimmer. The sprinter of course. It’s because as you are able to run longer distances your heart becomes more efficient. So if it took you 20 minutes of running to burn 300 calories it may take you 30 minutes to burn the same amount as your heart becomes more efficient. So what do you do?

Here’s something I heard about you don’t have to try it, but maybe you will. First warm up for 4 – 6 minutes at a brisk walking pace. Then for a minute sprint as fast as you can. The next minute go to a jog. Then the next 5 minutes you cool down by jogging slowly or walking. Then you repeat it again. Until you have done it 3 times. Do this 3 times a week when first starting out then increase to 4 – 5 times a week.

Also if you want your body to be a little toned I suggest eating some fiber. Around 25g – 35g is good.

New SM Boy Band Shinee

So SM Entertainment is releasing another group called Shinee pronounced Shine – ee. They are composed of members whose ages range from 14-18 years old and who go by the names of Jonghyun, Minho, Taemin, Onew and Key.

There’s some speculation of whether this could be the next DBSK. But according to SM Shinee is going to lead this generation’s trendy dance, fashion and music. I think SM is making a move against YG’s Big Bang. Anyways their website shows a short clip of them dancing to their song Replay.

Shinee’s first mini album and music video are set to be released on May 22.

You Are My Destiny Update

Well another update. I was gone for 2 months and so much has happened.

From what I know soshisubs will not put up subbed videos of YAMD anymore. You can download them at soshified, but you need to be a member with at least 50 posts.

Youtube keeps taking down the videos. Your best bet is to just become a soshified member with 50 posts and download the episodes.

Another Update

I found a place where they give a thorough summary of what happens in the episodes, so you can watch the raws and read the summary. The site is http://www.kpopit.com/

New Drama Featuring Yoona (SNSD)

Well Yoona has officially started her acting career with a bigger role than she had in other dramas. The drama is called You Are My Destiny and it started airing on 5/5/08.

So far the drama looks promising. It has potential. I just felt that there were so many characters introduced, but the good thing is that somehow they are all connected. Hopefully the plot turns out great.

Looking Better Without Plastic Surgery

First of all in nature, symmetry is one of the traits for determining attractiveness. For example animals that need to run to escape from predators. If they are symmetrical they are faster and therefore increases the rate of survival. Animals look for mates that have strong genes of survival so they would choose a symmetrical mate rather than one that is not.

It is basically the same with us humans. We tend to like things that are symmetrical. For instance look the pictures of all the celebrities or of the stars that people consider beautiful or attractive. You will find that most of them have symmetrical faces. Now the question is do you have a symmetrical face. There are some ways to check if you don’t.

When you eat do you chew your food on one side of your mouth?

When you open your mouth wide and close it does your jaw make a sound?

When you plug your ears with your fingers and open and close your mouth do you feel pressure on your fingertips?

If any of these apply to you then you might not have a symmetrical face.

Now the question is how to get one.

The method is simple yet hard. All you have to do is chew on the side that you normally don’t. Simple right? Well try it first. You will tend to automatically let the food go to the side that you are comfortable with. With lots of effort you can see some results in a month.

The force of your bite is pretty strong. The maximum on average for males is roughly 120 lbs of force and 80 for females. When working out you use weights to make your muscles grow. Well this works in the same way. Think about it. When you take off your leg cast after a month, you can see that the leg has shrunk. Well if you took an x-ray you will see that the bone in you leg has also shrunk a little.

Another reason why people don’t look as attractive is because of their smile. Most people these days don’t smile. I don’t know what it is but people have this blank face on throughout most of the day. The muscles aren’t worked out enough and will make it feel awkward to smile.

Try smiling really wide and stay like that for more than 10 seconds. Can you do it? If you can’t your muscles aren’t being worked out enough. This means you can improve on your smile. Just start moving your facial muscles everyday and you will probably see an improvement in a month.

With these methods you can get a nice symmetrical face, which is better than one that is not.

But of course there’s a limit to how much this can all do for you. I mean you were born to look a certain way and you can’t change that naturally, but you can try to look the best you can with the looks you were born with.

The word of the day is inappropriate. Just happened to catch my eye today.

Can you guess why it did?

Epik High – One Music Video

Hey guys just wanted to share the music video with you all.

Short Explanation:

The title of the song is based off of the word 구원 (goo – won) in Korean meaning to save. So Epik High are basically the saviors/angels who give the girl a second chance. Click here to watch the english subbed music video of One.

Sorry don’t have the subbed version for download. If enough people want it I’ll be free to look around for it.

Enjoy.

4/22/08

Here’s a bunch of random things that I learned today.

Your health comes first (top priority) because you can’t do anything else if you end up dying.

The chicken and bacon ranch sub in subways is not under the $5 foot-long deal.

Inertia effects the angular velocity. More Inertia means less angular velocity. That’s why ice-skaters cross their arms.

Webcams cost around $30.

In Rochester, NY there doesn’t seem to be any Pink Berry, Red Mango, or Very Berry ice cream stores.

SNSD Remix

Well as a SNSD fan I have to say some of the remixes I’ve heard are pretty cool. Remember the SNSD Kissing You Rhythmer Remix Challenge well the Rock Version won first place and I hear that SNSD loves that version. So I searched the net and found there was a Rock Version for Girl’s Generation as well.

If anyone wants it click here.

Credits to the person who remixed it. Oh and FYI I put the Music Video synced with this version up on YouTube if anyone wants to watch click here.

I hear rumors about a new single being released in July. Hopefully another great song.
