yeah it's been awhile
So I had a long hiatus. May was a quiet month for me. Funny, since Sj had been busy and all. I am still a fan, no doubt. It's just that I got lazy with these posts and since school is over, I got very lazy. The 4th Album has done VERY well. The major news in terms of SJ is that Kangin was at the fan meeting and it was very emotional one. You see Super Junior members crying and hugging him and the fans cheering him on. The fan meeting was held in Korea (of course.) It was VERY emotional. He gained weight, but he looked the same. I tried to convert one of my friend or older sister into being a SJ fan, but unsuccessfully. Oh well. Well they did have a dream concert, did I mention about that. i hear of SJ members getting sick here and there. One being Kyuhyun. SJ-M had something going on too. So many things happening to them that I can't keep up sometimes. And I am trying to balance my own life. Shindong really wants to get married to this girl. who knows who is dating who, but it is their privacy. I am sure that the girls they are dating are drop dead gorgeous, making me look like a roach or something. well, I will miss Kangin, the person who resembles me in a lot of ways.
I still don't think my friends who are anti-K-pop or disinterested will ever know what SJ means to me. EVER. Not in a million years. As of now, they might just think of me as a crazy person. Oh well, aren't we crazy in different ways. thanks.

the meaning of SJ to me
i know most of u may think that now I am totally addicted/ obsessed with SJ. I know you might want to place me in a psych ward or something because of my SJ~~~ But if you understand what I learned from them indirectly you would understand. if there was at least 1 SJ fan in NYC, i would seriously sky-dive tomorrow. I don't know how plausible that is, but if will it, I will. I watched "SUJU guide to SJ" for each member. And I saw myself laughing and tearing. There are times I am dubious: a 29 year old NYer with a potential to be a role model as a math teacher to become a crazy SJ addict. I think some of you may be nodding your heads. Well, I have to say, SJ is more than a music group. I watched all of the SJ guide that one fan had uploaded for all 13 members, and I am like wow. It made me realize why I am a fan in the first place. I see each of them: each unique self. You have no idea how different they are. They are all different like night and day. Sure they are talented in the same things; singing and dancing; however, personality wise you would think that they would clash, But that is not the case. You see the maternal Leeteuk, the vain but sensitive Heechul, from a man who came from China (Hangeng), to very idiosyncratic Yesung, to very masculine, tough Kangin, to comedic Shindong, to pretty boy Sungmin, to swaggerish Eunhyuk, to romantic Donghae, to very traditional Siwon to sensitive soul Ryeowook to quiet, actor Kibum to very funny, the youngest who gets away with things Kyuhyun. I mean their stories. Let me tell you.
WOW.
For some reason, their stories brought me hope. They went through a lot. i realized that there are times when I do get jealous of them because of their fame and friendships, and screaming fans left and right. I get jealous. i say, they have been through a lot and have perservered as individuals and as a group and they were able to sell 200,000+ albums. Recently, I've been jealous, telling myself WTF have I done with my life? compared to these boys who are younger than me, the youngest 7 years younger than I? I felt like useless piece of crap while these boys could have so much power to do so much, and be role models. i thought to myself that I felt insignificant compared to them because of their power and fame. But I watched the show and I realized that they are humans. They get lonely. They get scared. They are humans. They have went through so much ordeals. They still do. I am sure they feel uncertain at times. But their stories. How many "wows" could I say. They value life. They value each other. They value their friendships. They should make a movie out of their friendships and struggles. I personally have felt it more because i am prone to being lonely very easily. I am used to it. But seeing their friendship and endurance, I envy them.

update on SJ
- Pretty much all the boys on twitter are twitter whores, Sungmin the least (he is my favorite there on twitter, unless YS gets twitter ASAP)
- I take bunch of these quizzes on facebook and the person I get matched up from Sj is Eunhyuk. The ONLY reason is because I love dancing and so does he. But these quizzes, they are not accurate (I did get some share of HG, YS, LT, RW)
- They have been going on concerts after concerts, doing performances here and there
- Siwon had a surgery for something, it was just yesterday he posted a prayer meeting with bunch of entertainers when they prayed for Thailand's civil war
- SJ broke the world record for selling a lot of records after its release (it's already been 8 days.... wow, time flies.), I think 200,000, but I am not too sure.....
- I am sorry for Minah, but my favorite (ultimate) is Sorry, Sorry! I fell in love w/ it first sight
- I don't like the autotone for Minah, I can't recognize who sings what on it, besides Ryeowook's high-pitched voice
- "Boom" is nice (another song)
- I have yet to get the CD; there is version A and B and I heard there are just different pictures (it's embarrassing that I haven't ordered the CD yet, I still have yet to get Super Junior 05, their first discography.)
- I TERRIBLY MISSED KIBUM, KANGIN, and HANGENG, especially the last two. KIBUM not much because I don't know much about him.
- Super Junior (only Shindong, Eunhyuk, Yesung, Sungmin & Leeteuk) were singing a song "victory, Korea" for the World Cup this year. And it is super catchy. I want to buy the song. Addictive.... !!! Very spirited. Nationalistic.
- They had a 40 page spread on W magazine. And I hardly recognize them. They are not boys anymore. It's kind of scary, actually. They really looked like models. I mean it's easy for Eunhyuk who is the least camera shy, I think. He is a part time model, remember?
- So it sounds like Shindong wasn't "actually" proposing to his gf... but they are dating. It's been a long term relationship. Girl is very, very cute. She is a non-celebrity. I hope she doesn't get too much publicity and people would respect her privacy.
- The boys have been invited as guests at each other's Radio (Heechul's, Eunhyuk & Leeteuk, Shindong.) It's funny how they are doing it.
- It's kind of scary how these boys have muscles. I miss their cute selves to be honest w/ you.
