Running Man Appreciation

Have been busy with stuff but finally finished watching last week's Running Man.
It is submitted by a fan from Hong Kong. It is similar to the one they did when a fan from Korea sent it in for missions and production.
The idea is really good in this episode. I would say this is the better one in a while. Good job, Irene!
Go watch it!

Kshownow: Running Man Episode 182

[MV] SunnyHill (써니힐) - Don't say anything (아무말도 하지마요)

Jang Hyun is back in the line-up after serving the army and this changes back into a co-ed group. Always, always love their ballad.

 Edit: Just read that news that Jang Hyun will become a producer instead of returning to the group. It's sad to hear it but he will continue to produce and support the girls. Wish him the best!

LOEN Music is the first big Korean music company to put English subtitle in their videos, even before JYP, YG, and SM Entertainment. They have great artists, too! Check them out!

 

Kang Gary

Kang Gary from LeeSSang's first solo mini album! This sounds super good. Old school hip-hop. First one is called Shower Later. Second one is called Zotto Mola.

I Hate People

Everybody should work in retail as their post-secondary requirement. I hate people in general. It may have to do with me being an introvert but I do like companions when I feel like it. After working in retail, many might appreciate what those people behind the counter go through. There are just so many idiots in the world. Some are obnoxious, some are arrogant, some are creeps, and some just don't have a brain. I especially hate people who are freaking happy in the morning. Being sincere, nice, and fun are fine, that's being polite. Being fucking happy and peppy before 9am is just down-right annoying.

A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera - Say Something

Such a beautiful song... I am mesmerized with the feelings in the song. My eyes did get watery.

Here is the performance from American Music Award:

Technological Backwards

Technology enriches our lives. However, I feel like it is making us "dumber."
Why?
When we rely on technology too much, we seem to forget the basic.
With smartphones and tablets, we don't know how to do certain things without them.
I used to remember many phone numbers; now, I only know my family's.
With driving, there are back up cameras, blind-spot indicators, and automatic parking. People rely them to the point that they don't think about why we need them in the first place.
Couple days ago, I saw a car with blind-spot indicators turned on. He didn't even bother doing shoulder-checks and change lanes. The truck beside him had to brake and honk at him. He is a bad driver, not only he relies on his indicators and he doesn't use them as purposes.
I only use my back up camera to back into the last part of the parking as I can't see the end unless I get out of the car. However, I don't use that to back out of a parking ever. I use the proper 360 degrees check. It's much safer.
We should never rely heavily on technology, only use them to ease a difficult task. Otherwise, we would become sheep and become dumb.

Monday

People hate Monday because of going back to work after the weekend.

I love it because of the anticipation of watching Gary and Ace together.
They always give me joy even though they are not a team that week.
At SBS Entertainment Award, Gary lost Best Couple Award to G-Dragon and Jung Hyung Don. Gary vowed to win the 2014 one. I'll support him 100%.
They need more screen time together to solidify the spot.
