The past IKEA-weekend and plans for this week

This past Saturday we went to IKEA to spend some of our money. IT was a lot of people there but it was a happy trip. I started to look forward to Christmas (even when it is two months left) when they started to sell Christmas decorations already. Christmas is my favorite holiday and one of the few good thing with winter. I can easily be looking forward, planing, decorating and shopping months before the holiday and don't care what my fiancé tells me.

I didn't buy anything really christmassy this time.. not beside the gingersnaps molds... Besides that it was just useful stuff for the apartment. We finally got two reading lamps for our bedroom, a full-length mirror and fames for some pictures. And of course some other small stuff... So we spent some time getting all the things on the right places in the appartment and of course Quinn decided that she wanted to be in the way all the time! >__< but I am happy with the result.

We also watched the first Indiana Jones-movie, did the laundry and played some Pokémon but maybe not in that order... I am on Victory Road in the game now, but I don't have the concentration to play for a long time, have so much to do besides gaming. For example school. Today I turned in my report, I am not that happy with it but maybe it will make me pass at least. Now I have to study a classmates report for the opposition and also get everything ready for my trip to Falun on Wednesday. Hopefully I also will be able to post some more here before that ^__^ 

B.A.P - Stop It

My mind is kind of divided over this video, I like the song and the MV but on the other hand I don't know if this is the picture I have of B.A.P. The song is sweet and beautiful. They sing about how the girl doesn't have to wonder if they like her, because as they have told "her" many times they really do, It is about insecure love and of how important love is. A song that I really think would fit a band like Boyfriend, or SHINee or something. I am not to sure about how this fit B.A.P's image? For me B.A.P is all about the rap and the revolution but maybe I can't let go of that picture they med with WARRIOR, Power and No Mercy an such, even when they want to develop something new? For me this isn't something new, more like big step back for the band, however good looking they are... I want something more from my boy-bands!

But as I said, the video isn't bad, it is kind of funny actually. For once they get the whole all-members-on-the-same-girl-thing to work in some way. It is like all the members is in love with the teacher and is competing for her interest.I have to confess I have some trouble to tell the boys apart but I think it is Yong Guk who is the "ghost" in the video, the one that the girl can't see. He try to sabotage for his follow members because they all is in love with the girl. Exactly what he is I cant decide but he at first got me to think about a normal ghost, he got hit by a car, but later on i also thought about a dokkaebi and a gumiho... But non of them fits as well...

Then maybe the woman is the one with all the magical powers? All the member get smitten by her in a magical way, she do blow something like fairy dust on them, and they got tamed by there love.... Hmm... Is this the reason for the sudden change in style for the band? They were really crazy and bad boys and then this magical teacher woman cast a love spell on them, so that they falls in love with her and want to show there sincerity by stop there mischievous behavior, even if it some continues withe there rivality over her?

and the tail grabbing part at the end? is that her final attack at the Yong Guk? She strips him of his last powers and rebelliousness? to "stop it"? and then he wake up in a white simple room and a feather falls to the floor? is she an angel? send from heaven to get the boys act together? does this mean that B.A.P here forth will have a new and nicer image?

so many questions.. but is it true then i don't know if the band will continue to be one of my favorites? even if the video was interesting with a deep meaning I don't like the change in style. We can hope that the angel spell will be put down in the next video ^__^

The royal family and the new engagement

I usually think of myself as a person with liberal and modern thoughts about most things, but when it comes to the royal family my romantic heart takes over. It doesn't matter how many tries to tell me that a system where anyone can inherit the title, just by being born into the right family, is outdated, my romantic heart can't see past the fantasy that royalty is a little bit special.

Not that I mean that they are more than normal people, they aren't worth more than anyone else, but I do think they are different in the meaning of uppbringing and the symbol they represent. Yes, I like fairytales! And because they don't really nowadays have any real power (they are just a symbol for the country) and they also try to modernize, for example so that a princess can inherit the throne, I can't see the harm in keeping them.

I started to think about this today after the royal court announced that princess Madeleine has gotten engage with Christopher O'Neill. I don't really know what kind of person he is but he looks handsome and everyone says that he is a really warm person, if so he is really a modern prince. I hope they will find a lot of happiness, both for themselves and for me, who will be able to keep on dreaming about my fairytale dreams.

Here is a video from the royal court with the statement from the happy couple.

Want to see Iron Man 3

Iron Man is maybe on of my favorite superhero when it comes to all these new movies. Tony Stark has humor and he isn't your usual hero-material but he still got that pure heart no matter how he behave. Now the official trailer for the third movie is out and it looks promising, so long they don't overdo it with all the special effects...

You friend the videogame companies

A friend on Facebook posted a link to some fun and really accurate pictures of how the gaming companies would work if they were your friend. She find the pictures on Svampriket, a swedish gaming blog, but they had taken them from Dorky so go there to see them ;)

Block B - Nillili Mamba

Block B rocks again with Nillili Mamba (and crazy pirate theme and lyrics)!

Eat Your Kimchi did a review on this video for K-pop Music Monday's already and I can't make something better than that but I still wanted to post the video on the blog because... well, I love it a little! The song is just spinning in my head. I like the dark and a bit heavy beat and the pirate-feel that they really did success to add! Maybe this can even be something my fiancé like to listen to? he doesn't really care about k-pop (just have to listen to it when I play loud music at home) but he do like pirates ;)

here are the Eat Your Kimchi-review (and if you don't really follow them, subscribe now. They are awesome!)

HyunA - Ice Cream

HyunA is back! She is maybe the most well known of the members of 4minute, at least for me, and she is really fun and sexy most of the time. The MV Ice Cream is one of the track of her new mini album Melting and maybe is the most talkative because PSY is a guest star in it?

But beside PSY's and HyunA's continuing collaboration I want to talk about the video itself. As you all can understand she is singing about ice cream! And not just that, the lyrics is about how she is changeable as ice cream, with a lot of different flavours and sides, and also that she is going to get someone to melt like ice cream. Easily put, she is going to be as hot and interesting that everybody is going to melt for here. 

the lyrics isn't really that sensational, a lot of girl band sing about stuff like this in a way of being sexy without saying the really sexy things out loud. I don't really know what I think about the lyrics, what can you be thinking? it is kind of main stream and the usual play with english words. It is not an important message, it is more shallow and I really don't like the way she sings for example about the diamond ring:

Ma diamond ring so bling bling
I’ll show you my sexy swag
One look at me and they all fall for me
You better surrender

  

It feels like she is a gold digger, she will show you here sexy side if you give here diamonds... Nothing I can relate to or like.   

The video then?  I hate the long intro, I almost always do. But I can understand why they wanted PSY in the video, he is really big right now and it is good PR to work together with someone like that. 

When the video begins I cant understand if they are serious or not. It feels like a parody with the colours, accessories and the truck and everything but then the dancing starts and suddenly it all become so serous again with the sexy message in the lyrics an all the pelvic movements. 

And then you see the furry steering wheel and the clown and once again you cant decide... Maybe it is both? a parody of being sexy or a girl being sexy while shooting a parody?... This is why I don't really like the video >___< 

And for being such a good dancer you don't really get to see how she is melting us with her dancing. The clean cut dance sections is mostly some hip hop steps and nothing more exciting than that. 

 

Though, there is one scene I do like in the video. Believe it or not but it is the most sexy shot, with HyunA bathing in bubbles. If you are going to sing about being sexy then you have to have these kinds of pictures, not just crazy accessories and heavy make up. The one where she is standing behind a mans body and caresses him is also really hot. 

Maybe it is time to wrap it up now? I don't have anything more to talk about I think... So I don't like the lyrics and not really the video either even if I do like sexiness... hmm... I don't know what that tell about me?...
