Epik High - Love Love Love
Great song with great lyrics. Here's the MV with English subs.

It's 12 at night, drunk with a tired voice
It's 2 in the morning, a cold hang up of the phone

**No one knows my heart
I can't stop love love love
Even though it hurts, I keep repeating
I can't stop love love love

Have you ever loved
Like in the movies where they fall in love at first sight?
Stayed up all night on the phone
Bragged to the world
Waited in the pouring rain
Ran like crazy towards them
Secretly watched them
Gone crazy
Pretended not to see them

Of course you have, loved
Gone broke because of anniverseries
Said sorry even after you did well
Stayed up all night writing a love letter
Moved a date with your family
Prayed to God for them not to hurt
Avoided friends
Watched their backs as they left

**

(Can't stop love love oh love)
I loved them like crazy, why
I was really good to them, why
I gave my all
You've got me going crazy
(Can't stop love love oh love)
I loved them to death, why
I gave them my heart and body
I've lost everything, what do I do?

**

Have you ever broken up
Had your make-up erased in the rain
Cut your long hair
Picked up a cigarette even though you quit
Avoided a place thinking that you would meet them
Written a letter that you couldn't send
Get drunk and dial their number (hello) had your lips freeze

Of course you have, broken up
Hated them as much as you loved them
Torn a letter you couldn't read
Erased a number you couldn't forget
Celebrated an anniversary on your own
Burnt all the pictures
Thought that all the sad songs in this world was about you

**

I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU

Cry like a fool, get drunk again
Grab your friends and curse that person
Time passes, and you get drunk again
Pick up the phone, say love

**

**
No one knows what I'm feeling
Actually you're the only one who doesn't know
Even though it hurts, I keep repeating
Someday we'll meet again.

Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration. I personally don't think it's THAT huge of a change, but I keep on getting "wtf" reactions.... So uhmm...?

My hair is jet black!

For me, this is pretty significant I suppose. The last time I had dark hair was ages ago, but even so, it wasn't jet black. My natural hair color is dark brown anyway, so it was a bit hard to digest at first...

This was what I looked like last week (trying to capture different angles here):

(Puta ang ina = Tagalog for 'fuck', khob-kun-ka = Thai for 'thank you'.) Combined, it's 'Fuck, thanks!' Sadly, these are the only two phrases I learned during my 10-day vacation in Thailand and the Philppines.

I'm so lazy to update. Little to no motivation to write this entry, save for maybe my own personal amusement 10 years down the road (FYI: I still read my high school blogs and laugh at my pathetic obsession with Japanese idols back in the day).

The past 1~2 weeks have been quite eventful; for brevity I'll make this more of a photoblog and talk about the main highlights of my trip!
 

So, it's been over a month since I've arrived in Hong Kong... The region is pretty Westernized, plus it's not my first time here, so a lot of the culture doesn't really come as a shock to me. But, there are some.... bemusing things. I came up with a lot, but here's my attempt at truncation:

1. McDelivery

Pretty self-explanatory. Could you imagine how fat Canadians would be if this existed back home?

2. Dessert places everywhere! (this is a good thing :D)
Why don't they have dessert shops at home? Like, every other block? Life is unfair :(

3. But after the desserts, they'll guilt you with their "subliminal' messages

Uh huh. There are weight loss ads everywhere... I've actually stopped at several of them and seriously considered joining one of their programs. All the ads are like "120 lbs to 90 lbs! You can do it!" If they advertised like that back home, I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing lawsuit after lawsuit.... Anyway, Hong Kong girls are too skinny.

4. "Friendly" toilet reminders
