| You are… my… vanilla…

Gackt-sama! So beautiful… so elegant… I’m simply overcome with admiration…

(Please note: Normally I would sooner stab a fork into my forehead than follow the idiotic masses in the Web 2.0 revolution and embed a YouTube video into any of my Web pages, but I realize people are lazy and would be less likely to follow an external link… so here it is! Gackt’s god-like music video for “Vanilla.”)

A subtitled version of the video can also be accessed here, but since “Vanilla” is really a pure sex song (but one of my favorites regardless), I should warn you… the lyrics are… you know…

Other than that, my summer vacation is proceeding along quite splendidly.

| Baby Voices of Xpression

The Baby V.O.X. Special Album CD that Jacky-Lin lent me was immensely enjoyable, owing to its dance/hip-hop style and the cool complementary VCD. However, I was saddened to discover that the members have long since disbanded.

Baby V.O.X.

The members at the time of its release:

  • Kim E-Z (김이지) (the rapper of the group, my favorite)
  • Lee Hee-Jin (이희진)
  • Shim Eun Jin (심은진)
  • Kan Mi Youn (간미연) (leader)
  • Yoon Eun Hye (윤은혜)

A good Baby V.O.X. resource is beautifulvoices.net, which is where I obtained the picture.

| A leaf falls

I feel lonely. No one has written me for a very, very long time.

Oh, a poem we read in English class today:

l(a

— e e cummings

A leaf falls. Loneliness. “Breaking away” from the tree. I think it’s absolutely beautiful.

On another note, yesterday was May Day, or International Workers’ Day. I supported my fellow Chinese comrades by wearing a sober, gray/khaki Communist-themed outfit and by pinning a red star onto my khaki jacket.

| Are you ready to go?

It’s SPRING BREAK, and it’s going sw-eet. The only potential caveats are the annoying SAT/PSAT test prepping and the need to invest in a pair of ear plugs… for when I’m not outside, bike-riding, and being one with nature.

Miyavi, holding a kitten

Miyavi is my hero. Such a pretty, quirky, “young and flamboyant” guy. I also enjoy hearing him scream; so far, he’s the only rock musician who’s achieved that distinction.

“Are you ready, ready to go?”

After making a few revisions this afternoon, my client’s Web site has finally been launched. Now I’m ready to go outside and greet the world… maybe frighten some Canadian geese… and perhaps visit Steffy-Lin aka K-chan. ^_^
