The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 103

I guess you can call me sentimental. Two years ago today I experienced my very first MWave online meet and greet with MBLAQ. I was working long hours in New Orleans that week for my job, and did not think I would be able to stay awake long enough to watch the show. Scheduled at a decent 2:00 PM KST hour, that translated to midnight my time. But the moment I saw G.O with his hair freshly sheared, goatee-d in a fedora wearing a t-shirt with the goddess Venus de Milo on the front of it (a definite shout out to his goddesses), I was wide awake and ready to watch the fun begin.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 85

G.O and Mir. It had to be fate, destiny or written somewhere that these two gentle spirits were going to cross paths and become one very powerful rap-vocal OST duo. They released two songs in 2012 and one in 2013 for three different original soundtracks. I think they are due for another one, don’t you ~ well, once G.O completes his service. For Day 85, I want to revisit my fave of the OST work exclusive to G.O and Mir, 천국이니까 [Because It’s Heaven/Winter Rain] from the Korean drama, The King of Dramas.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 69

By 2011 and well into their second full year as a group, MBLAQ was indelibly embraced (and rightfully so) by Japan; their JA+ fandom strong and growing. They were gaining so much popularity and love in Japan that Odina Magazine featured them not once, not twice, but three times in 2011. One year, three cover stories. Too much……wait, no, there can never ever be too much G.O!!

[event] Merry MBLAQ Christmas Packages: Thank You

MBLAQ Mirror Red Hue

All packages have been sent (recipient, nominator, nominee). I can only hope that all on the receiving end who never confirmed receipt did in fact receive their packages safely (some are still in transit). The packages left my care with a hug, a kiss, and a smile. From there, they were on their own to arrive to their final destinations. I have to say, I enjoyed putting each and every one of the packages together. It was indeed a labor of love. However, I am happy and extraordinarily relieved the event is over.

[event] Merry MBLAQ Christmas Packages – The Recipients

MBLAQ Beautiful

The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them away.

Greetings!! The next stage of the Merry MBLAQ Christmas Package event is now upon us! Before I get to the announcement of the ten recipients of the packages, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who participated and sent in nominations. It was an emotional tsunami of love that stormed its way into my heart and the hearts of my hardworking elves, and it did so with a force none of us were prepared for. My elves and I were overwhelmed by the response and equally overwhelmed by the words of love and support shared in those nominations. I can assure you choosing ten was not an easy task but I am happy to announce with great appreciation and love, the following recipients.

Greetings! The nominating period for the Merry MBLAQ Christmas Package event has now closed! A million thank yous to all who have sent in nominations. It exceeded my expectations. I was very touched by all of the beautiful thoughts and words shared, and especially the love. I am so proud to be a part of this fandom and of the camaraderie between us all. More importantly, however, is the love and support we all share for our beloved MBLAQ, Lee Joon and Cheondung.

As a reminder, my merry elves and I will take the next week to deliberate over who will receive the packages. I can assure you it will not be an easy task as there were many nominations, all of them special and deserving! On November 23rd, I will post the names of the recipients and will be in touch with either them, or their nominators. Finally, during the week of December 1st, the packages will be sent out.

Thank you again to all who participated!

To get into the holiday spirit, let’s revisit the delightful White Forever ~~~ ahhh, these five beautiful angels!

Happy Holidays, my lovelies!♥

Another Year With MBLAQ – Happy 6th Anniversary!

tumblr_nw7uysEba01tqv96eo1_540

The number 6 is considered the most harmonious of all single-digit numbers. The most important influence of the 6 is its loving and caring nature. Properly nicknamed the motherhood number, it is all about sacrificing, caring, healing, protecting and teaching others. 

Our beloved men of MBLAQ are marking their sixth year together since their debut on October 15, 2009. In some respects it is bittersweet. For me, however, it is a celebration. Even though they have moved from 5 to 3, the fact of the matter is, they are still here.

You Know You’re A Fangirl When . . .

You know you are a fangirl when…..you walk into your neighborhood arts and crafts store seeking a frame for the free poster you received when you purchased the latest CD of your fave group. Then, you realize that since the poster is of foreign birth, its dimensions differ from the standard sized frames available on US shelves. What’s a fangirl to do?

The answer: custom framing.
