This isn't what I want anymore
An illusion inside my heart alone
And lying next to you only makes me sad
Because I know that it isn't mine
This dream will shatter one day
Leaving just the pieces and the tears
How can I find the strength within
To just breathe and let you go?

No pain, no gain

I think it's somewhat sad that walking around in my new pair of boots hurts more than snowboarding. It's amazing what we humans do for the sake of fashion. On the bright side, the boots are hella cute and I look good in them.

I've been listening to a few songs by the Korean band F.T. Island. They're not bad but I haven't formed an overall opinion about them yet. I watched a few of their performances a couple of weeks ago and their lead singer (Lee Hong Ki) is really charismatic on stage; I really enjoy watching him. The other members looked a little awkward but I think those were the older performances... in the more recent ones they looked much more confident. I just started listening to their 4th album So Long, Au Revoir and apparently it's in Japanese? I wasn't expecting that... not an entirely bad surprise but I was hoping to hear more of their Korean songs.
What I especially like about them is that they're an actual band, i.e. they play their own instruments. Most of the Korean artists I've been listening to lately have been just singers, not bands. Plus, F.T. Island have a little more of a rock feel to their songs (though still definitely on the side of pop). And I like when the other dude (sorry, don't know his name ><) raps or whatever in the middle of the song instead of the lead singer carrying the whole song.

Lee Hong Ki also looks a bit like the actor Jang Geun Suk, at least in a couple of F.T. Island's live performances. Funnily enough, they both starred in a 2009 Korean drama, 미남이시네요 [You're Beautiful]. Sometimes he looks kind of a mish-mash (can I use mish-mash to refer to people? lol) of various people though, like Brian from Fly to the Sky and maybe G-Dragon from Big Bang? I bet it changes depending on the hair. I tell you, those hairstyles are like Clark Kent's glasses or something (I mean really, you can't tell it's Superman under those things?)

Listening to right now: F.T. Island - 바래 [I Hope]

Edit: He also looks a little like Solbi (pre-plastic surgery) when he cross-dresses. XD

    If you like FT Island, you would probably like CN Blue as well. The lead of that band was also in You're Beautiful as well.

    Hong Ki was so adorable in the drama. Fave scene would be when the sang in the bus for the radio show. *sobs*

    Yeah, I listened to one of C.N. Blue's songs a couple of weeks ago but I haven't gotten around to properly checking them out yet. I think I liked the song though so it's definitely on my list of things to do.

    I haven't watched You're Beautiful yet... also on my list of things to do. -_-;

    You know, I actually use my fat-armed glasses to disguise myself when I'm working, compared to when I'm going out... lol, the thing works!
