when i hear this i think of you...

since i'm holed up in my room, i've basically been listening to my iPod on shuffle continuously. 1 song i can't stop playing is Love Love Love by Epik High. haha, yep it's a korean song. and yep i know the lyrics (vaguely). pls don't ask me how...either way, even on shuffle there are certain songs i can't skip b/c of their sentimental value. i'm sure this list'll grow but in the past 2 hrs these are the ones that have been shuffled to me:

1. Escape (the Pina Colada song) by Rupert Holmes: always reminds me of going to Cancun, MX over spring break. while we were traversing around Casa Magna, eating and laying out and drinking drinks, every time i looked out at the beautiful beach and ocean view and basked in the summer (well really, spring) sun i just kept thinking of this song. and totally irrelevant, but the song also reminds me of that movie The Sweetest Thing. another irrelevant side note, Rupert Holmes ended up writing 1 of the few mystery novels that i actually enjoyed, Where the Truth Lies.

2. Island in the Sun by Weezer: ok i admit it, i went to see Out Cold that stupid snowboarding movie. Erma and i went and i remember we were pretty psyched over some stupid joke that the trailer kept playing on tv even tho what it was eludes me now. regardless, Island in the Sun is basically the theme song of the movie and i'd never heard it before and immediately fell in love w/it then proceeded to bug my housemates by playing it continuously for the next month. ahhh, college...

3. Because I'm a Girl by KISS: even tho i've been listening to all types of Asian songs (chinese, korean, japanese) i've never really bothered to watch MVs. 1 day while i was forcing Gohm to listen to Rain songs we started talking about korean dramas, which for a short period i was very addicted to (although i've gotten lazy b/c i can't be bothered to read the subtitles right now) and i was commenting that they're always so friggin' sad. someone's always dying, constant unrequited love, unfair misunderstandings. the 1 that takes the cake is Autumn Fairy Tale. god! how much tragedy can befall a single couple? and they're always crying in every single episode. sheesh! not that i didn't cry when i watched it...but even for me it got a little exasperating. it was then that Gohm advised me that not only were korean dramas this way, but so were korean MVs. and that's when he played me this MV on youtube. it was a whole korean drama plot in a single music video! heehee. now i have this song downloaded on my iPod and although i'm not the biggest fan of it, every time i hear it i remember the video and the melodrama of koreans...
