She sends me a smile, the kind that swells my heart. I have to look away because of the sheer intensity of its warmth. My eyes fall on the sunflowers in my front yard. They weren’t there a few months ago, I think. They started populating my front yard around the same time she snuck up on me. Maybe her smile had something to do with it, I wonder.

Elementary

The only time
My heart wasn’t shaking threateningly,
The sun in my chest combusted,
The fireworks were too deafening
The only time
I wasn’t rendered speechless by you,
I had an answer,
Words poured out easily,
Was when you asked why
The answer has always been simple
You are you,
So it made perfect sense for me to fall for you

Your Song

Resigning yourself to a cycle of monotony,
Starving to be free.
You are tired, aren’t you?
Thinking everything you’re touching is turning blue.

My Top 10 K-Pop B-sides of 2017

Sometimes title tracks don’t represent the quality of the album. B-sides is where the gold at. I’m going to pick only one B-side per album. Here’s the list of my favorite Kpop B-sides. Let’s get going!

My Top 10 K-pop Songs of 2017

I know I’m pretty late to post this but I kinda strayed away from anything Kpop for a while. 2017 gave us some bangers and some downright horrendous songs. It was quite a task to reduce the list down to just 10 songs. I’ve included only K-pop songs and only title tracks at that. I’ll make another list about B-sides and some indie songs. These are a few songs that stuck out to me. I obviously haven’t listened to every Kpop song out there. And I hope I don’t wake up in the middle of the night and suddenly realize I forgot to add that one song I had on repeat for 10 days straight.

Without further adieu, let’s dive right into it!

Taemin – Move Review

Finally, it has arrived. Move is Taemin’s second full length album. I have high expectations from anything SHINee related, Taemin is no exception.

Taemin – Move

His previous album, Press It, was one of my favorite albums of 2016, so I had my fingers tightly crossed for this one.

Did he deliver?

Proditione

A hand grabbed me,
Yanked me into reality.
Curious now, I turned back.
Her brown eyes pierced my soul,
The wind caressed her long locks.
She stood there, vacantly.
A wave of familiarity hit me.
I knew her, at least I told myself I did.
She pulled me closer,

BTS – DNA Review

BTS has finally made their much awaited comeback with DNA. DNA is the title track of their fifth mini album Love Yourself: Her. You know a group has hit it big if the casual fans and the non-fans alike are excited to listen to their latest track. I, being a casual fan, was totally hyped after watching their second teaser.

IT – Movie Review

Guys I kid you not, IT was my most anticipated movie of 2017. So I walked into the theater with my fingers crossed. IT is a supernatural horror movie directed by Andy Muschietti (the same guy who gave us Mama), based on the novel by the King of Horror, Stephen King.
