I’ll post a few quick updates since I don’t have it in me to write out a long post.

• Yesterday was my mom’s birthday and I ended up giving her a card, and some money since I didn’t know what to buy her. She claims she’s not hard to shop for but I disagree wholeheartedly lol.
 
• My week was somewhat tiring as usual, but hopefully my job will let me leave early on Saturday since my family plans on celebrating my mom’s birthday that day.

 
• I've been listening to lots of gothic/symphonic metal lately and I’m not sure why…lol. I really like classical music, and the idea of it mixed with metal is just appealing to me. The bands I've been listening to are: Lacuna CoilNightwish, Delain, The Gathering [youtube]Lake of Tears [youtube], and Within Temptation [youtube].

• A French pop-rock band that I used to really like years ago called Kyo actually got back together, and put out a new album. It was surprising to me since I figured they were broken up for good. Here’s one of the songs off their new album " l'equilibre".

 
Lee Michelle (Kpop Star and at one time YG Ent. Trainee) recently debuted with her new song, and video for “Without You”, and I really like the video! It’s nice to see someone mentioning the issues mixed-race Korean children face in Korea in a music video. I've noticed that the commentary about racism in Korea is avoided by K-pop fans, and K-pop artists alike so her video was really refreshing to see.

•I've been watching "Inspiring Generation" and I think it's up to episode 21 now?  It's been getting really interesting lately.  I'm gonna need Jung Tae to kill that old guy because he's such a bastard.  I can't wait until he does.  It will be bittersweet.   

Well that’s all I have for now… I hope everyone has a good week.

This week went by quicker than I expected. I was restless this past Friday night and couldn't go to sleep for some reason. I thought it was the TV keeping me awake so I turned the volume down, but that didn't work. I turned off all the lights, and that didn't work. I ended up finally falling asleep eventually, but I don't remember when that was...lol. I was having some type of insomnia moment going on or something.



My friend finally sent me my Christmas presents! Now according to her this isn't everything, but the CD is the main thing I asked for. I'd been meaning to get that Lacuna Coil album, but never did. The Egyptian ankh ring was something she decided to for me on her own, and I love it! I have an ankh necklace so it will go great with that.  She also bought me a necklace that I received to today, but I didn't take any pics of it so it's not in this picture.  

My other friend and I had a talk yesterday over the phone because of a minor misunderstanding on my part.  I've been feeling like she's been avoiding me lately, but in reality it's been her job that's been taking up most of her time.  They've been giving her a hard time so she hasn't really had time to do anything else.  She told me that she would try to go with me to either the concert, or Akon this year or possibly both, but she would have to talk to her supervisor and she what happens.  I hope she can go with me to the Lacuna Coil concert, because while I could go with my niece, who has agreed to go with me, she doesn't like rock music at all so I don't know how she will do at a metal concert...lol.  
 
Last week was the season finale for American Horror Story: The Coven, and I was a little sad since Lily Rabe's character dies. I liked seeing her dancing to random Fleetwood Mac songs...lol. Anyway overall I thought the ending was okay. Although I think Fiona's hell should have been worse. Since I don't think anybody on my flist has watched it I'll just leave it at that.  

As for kdramas I've been watching "Inspiring Generation" and I've finally made it to episode 6, and all I can say is wow.  Kim Hyun Joong's acting has improved tremendously since his last two dramas.  Even the k-netizens think so which is a huge since they usually bash him for his acting.  That crying scene in episode 5 really pulled at my heart strings.  I felt so broken-hearted for his character Shin Jung Tae, because it seems he's had a difficult life even now as an adult.  He seems like a broken man after what happened to his sister, although I'm still uncertain if she's actually dead or not.  idk, but I'll continue watching to see what happens.  

 
As for music I've been listening to a bunch of different stuff such as: Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Hyorin's (Sistar) solo stuff, Oceana, Sparta, The Creatures, Mogwai, Fleetwood Mac, Dragon Ash, Lacuna Coil, Circa Survive, Daft Punk, Lana Del Rey, and Within Temptation. Speaking of Withing Temptation I absolutely love their new album "Hydra"! It's becoming one of my favorite albums of this year so far! I'd previously tried to listen to them, but wasn't too impressed with their older music. I really dig this new album a lot. I've been on a bit of a Lana Del Rey kick for some reason. I blame this band I follow on twitter for tweeting the lyrics to "Radio" on my timeline xD!

Speaking of new releases let's talk about the new B.A.P video for "1004 (Angel)"! I really like the choreography for this one!  ......don't do it himchan D:  )
