joey the pineapple

So I just wanted to say one thing before I forgot!

Aff (my favorite Thai actress) got married!!  He seems cute and I'm so happy for her!  I think I read that he is a police officer and it's just so sweet that she isn't marrying someone who's apart of the entertainment world.

But that's really all I have to say.  That, and I'm watching some real hilarious KPOP idols speak in English.  When they definitely shouldn't.

within the title of the posts

So I lied.  Some while ago, I said that Horikita Maki wouldn't know a steamy kiss if it smacked her upside the face with a herring.  But that is untrue!  I give you... EXHIBIT A:

And then I remembered why I was supposed to watch this movie in the first place.

Even kisses that were supposed to be pecks from her before were nothing like this!

I thank blame the director.  He was American.  Explains it all.

Pretty much every kiss in this movie (Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac) got me all embarrassed and shy.  But it was worth it!  Maki actually kissed!  Not just "let me bump my face against yours and just so happen to tap your lips."  

The only sad thing is... 

I saw another romance she was in after this, and it looks like she reverted back to her old ways. 

*insert saddest face ever*

i should start a story

Listening to the most badass music right now.  It's the song that plays during the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood trailer when Ezio is just being the love of my life and all that shit.  But the point of this post:

SO MUCH NEWS ABOUT SHIN HYE'S NEW DRAMA!!!!

AND JUST SHIN HYE IN GENERAL!!

Rant... STARTO!

So I find out Shin Hye presented an award along with her co-star Yoon Si Yoon like after the MAMA stuff was all finished.  Her fanclub, who had press privileges, didn't even prepare me for this excitement.  It was like: "We saw her there!"  And I was like: "GASP!"  But anyways, it was cool.

Si Yoon was cute but in about half of his photos with Shin Hye, he typically held a real goofy expression on his face.  But so they walked the red carpet together then moved to present some award to EXO.  She was all gor-geous and perrty so it was awesome.

I love his voice.

Si Yoon and Shin Hye... YoonHye??

Credits where they're due.

But so I was pretty stoked about that.  However!  They also were on a Korean show called Taxi which happened to choose to film in Hong Kong (where MAMA was hosted).  It was kind of like a first date~  Especially because they were reported to have become more sociable and friendly towards each other as the day went on.

AND THEN!!  I find out Shin Hye went to the MAMA after party.  Boom.  Awesome as it is.  BUT THEN!!  I find out that she is bein' hangin' with the boys of BIGBANG.  Oh and PSY.  No big deal.  EXCEPT THAT IT IS!!!  So I see her and she's all like dancin' and stuff.  Bein' cool.  I notice that she's like right next to Si Yoon and in all of the other gifs that I've found of her there, he is as well.  She's talking to Il Jung Woo.  He's there too.  Daesung dances over her way.  Bam, there he is.  And it just warms this veteran fangirl's love-sick heart.

 

And yes.  That is Si Yoon's hand on her waist in the first gif.

So I was like totally dying in fangirl heaven.  My favorite actress is with a bunch of guys, let alone really famous and debatably hot guys?  

Credit to that guys' instagram where this came from.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!  Then I find this picture of her hanging out with Song Joong Ki (whom she also has worked with) and this boy group I've never heard of called TIMEZ.  

I probably died sometime during which I was discovering all of this juicy goodness.  But oh no.  Life doesn't stop there.  It won't let me get away with just a severe heart attack and extreme asphyxiation.  That would be pathetic.  BECAUSE IT DOESN'T STOP THERE!!

The network then proceeds to release the official teaser/promo/ad for Flower Boy Next Door.  And it proceeded to be awesome.  

So happy~~  AND THEN I SEE THAT THERE ARE FIVE GUYS.  WHUT.  STAHP.  WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!  And it just looks so good and wonderful and Si Yoon is so cute and Shin Hye is adorable.  My excitement cannot be contained.  WHY DOES JANUARY 7TH NOT COME SOONER???

So yeah.  That noise you hear?  That's me hyperventilating and promptly passing out from the awesome I feel coming on.  But yeah.  That's all I had to talk about for now.  

That's a lie.

So I'll write ya later!!

what's my topic?

First of all, what am I supposed to do with those extra pages that I can create?  I tried it once and it only ended in failure.  Sweet, sweet failure.

Anyways.  I also realized that I just posted 5... things last night and almost beat my record for amount of posts in a year.  So I decided to actually post another in order to beat it and so that it didn't look quite so pathetic that I posted five things right after the other.

I was lookin' through the page statistics... page and I saw a button that said I could turn off the thing that let it also track my page views.  As in, the views that I myself gave to the blog.  And I was like:

No.

And that's how it ended.  I don't want to know how many people see this!!  I like to bask in the ignorant knowledge that I am the only one who sees what I write.  It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I think I was gonna go on about some of my otome games but right now I feel like I wasn't.  Maybe...?  I have no idea.
So let's just talk about otome!!  Prepare yourself

To start things off, otome games are games that are specifically oriented towards young girls.  They have male counterparts that I personally find much more prevalent in the English-speaking world.  The most basic otome game is a dating simulation where you get a certain number of boys that you may "target" and hope to woo.  They can get a bit more complicated such as having RPG-elements, battle modes, or by simply being instead these games called visual novels.  Visual novels differ from otome games because it's more like you are simply in control of a character and making some life-changing decisions for her.  Otome games will often times allow you to move around a city/country to play mini-games or to talk to the random guys that appear.  For a shy, socially awkward person like myself, it's wonderful!

Some of the best games I've played are the following:
Starry☆Sky 
Loren The Amazon Princess
(P)lanets - The Life of Normalcy has Ended
RE: Alistair++

Unfortunately only the last two are free games.  But the other two are definitely worth the bucks!  The Starry☆Sky series, however, is also in Japanese and there is only an English patch out there for ~ In Spring~.  I have heard wonderful things about the others though and I have it from a trusted source that an American company may soon be officially translating and selling them in the United States (if the voice actors and their agencies don't mess that up for us that is).  For LTAP, there is a demo that you can play (and it's also naturally in English!) but for the entire game and expansion, you must pay.

All of those games are very fun and very different.  Starry☆Sky is centered on a girl (that you may rename) who is somehow involved with many boys throughout her school.  I have no idea whether or not it's supposed to be like she's in an alternate universe each game where she didn't romance a guy from the last game or if she just has a lot of romance goin' on.  If that makes sense.  Loren can be played by both boys and girls because well you have that option.  Do you play as Saren or Elenor?  That's your choice and there are both straight and gay options for both of them.  The gameplay is by far the most intriguing due to the RPG and turn-based battle elements implemented.  However, it also contains some very brief nudity (that, however, may be turned off if you so choose).  It's really my favorite game out of all of them (added to the fact that you don't have to do exact certain things to succeed in a romance such as obscurely buy the right dress and just so happen to buy the correct book before a certain encounter.  It's very simple and the artwork is probably the most beautiful.  Unless you really enjoy the shoujo manga style work that is featured in the Starry☆Sky series.

(P)lanets is centered around a girl who somehow manages to suddenly be able to read minds.  She is then sent to a special school for special people like her with special powers.  I'm only saying special because... I can't spell the word that I know applies to her.  But anyways!  She then must talk to boys and do stuff and so on.  RE: Alistair++ is about a girl who plays a lot of video games and because of a certain event, she vows to get revenge on the boy who did it.  She then must sort the boy who she must hate and the other two boys who are equally adorable.

But I've ranted enough.  Time for you to enjoy those wonderful games I've just told you about.

Besides, I have Park Shin Hye news to stalk

 

 

I LIED

EVERY ANGRY WORD IN THE UNIVERSE BELONGS IN THIS POST RIGHT NOW.

THE DUMBASS DOWNLOAD TIMED OUT.  AGAIN.  BECAUSE ONCE WAS APPARENTLY NOT ENOUGH.

SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW.
JUST.
SO.
ANGRY.

help

last time!

This is the last post I'll make today!  I swear!  It's just that I remembered something that I just had to share!!

Apparently Si Yoon is a really good kisser.  Either that or the production company really encourages and supports amazing kissing between its actors.  Or something like because it isn't cable or a basic network show or something so they have the freedom to be all scandalous.  Something like that!  But it's more reason to be super happy!!

Now I just gotta wait till January for the first episode to air!!!
And an hour for my download to finish

this is awkward

OKAY so I know I could just edit my two last posts if I wanted to, but I just really want to have more posts in November!!

So I was just real quick goin' over my old posts when I saw that I wrote that I really wanted Shin Hye and Maki to do something that would be really exciting with a hot guy as the main romantic lead.

And guess what.

I EFFING GOT MY WISH!!!!

Seriously!!  Maki is gonna be co-starring with Nishikido Ryo in some movie that apparently has romance going on between the two.  And this time, it won't be like AtaDan where Maki and Sho's characters were just like:

Sho: Remember when I told you that I liked you?
Maki: Oh... Yeah and-
Sho: But it's okay.  I know you don't feel the same.  Just forget it.
*Sho walks away*
Maki: But I would've been your girlfriend...
END SCENE

Really.  I mean, seriously.  That's it?  Whatever.  But anyways!  I'm so excited!!  I've seriously always dreamed of them being in a pairing together but I never imagined my dream would come true!!!

Now onto PSH's news:

Shin Hye is gonna be in an actual romantic comedy with an effing hot ass guy!!  His name is Yoon Si Yoon and he can actually act!  Not only that, but the series is produced by the same company that already produced two other real successful dramas that were real popular.  So happy~!!!!!

I should wish for things more often
