hello Bloggie pips..... here I am again blogging early in the morning just to start a HAPPY day.....

yes indeed I'm starting my day happily since, again, it's a HAPPY day....

HAPPY 3 tears to my ever loved bias, the Feirceful Foursome, 2NE1!!!!.....

so I practically have nothing planned for today but just watch and overload myself with some 2ne1 videos....

yeah that's right......

and remebering the beinnings of me as a BLACKJACK.....

so how did I become a BlackJack again????

it was late May of 2009, when we were practicing for the Freshmen Welcoming program, I was a Senior HS back then, when I heard frm a group of friends that they were talking about K-pop.... (yes I was no k-pop fan that time)...

that night I tried to search for those songs they were talking about (wonder girl's Nobody and a song that I forgot the title except for the "eh" part that really stuck to my mind).... so I asked that friend what was the title of the song with the "eh" word in it (through sms), and there I was introduced to FIRE....

the first Fire video that I saw was the Space Version MV.... I was atracted by then from the first 10sec of it since the first thing flashed to my eyes was the yellow "Beats" headset.... and the rest was history...... joke!....

moments after that first MV I was able to watch the 2nd version of it, the Street Version, and totally fell inlove with that cool car with the card accessory flaunting infront of it....

I found the Street version very cool and amazing most especially Minkki's solo part with the drums, the confetti, ang the HULK gloves......... and that was the start of them all........

after watching that epic Street Version MV, I was directed to watching a live performance that totally took my heart be storm..... it was 2NE1's debut performance at SBS Popular Song dated May 17,2009...... [http://youtu.be/nt84Bwqbe1g]

by then I was totally amazed by K-pop seeing how much the stage would light up, props would come and go in a live performace, Live performace Intro's that were waaay beyond my imagination (since things like that only ever rarely happen in my country, only in high budgeted major concerts)...... and that was officially the start of my as a K-popper......

though I may seem to fell inlove with fire, it did not really follow that I would love 2ne1 as well...... I remember bashing them (kinda just giving bad comments) calling CL "libat" (dilated eyes), Bommie "tanga'" (stupid), Minji "Law-ay"(ugly) [though she was my BIAS from the start because of her wicked dancing on Fire Street Version] and DARA "paaman"(extra)...but despite of this, we really can't deny that I totally fell in-love with "FIRE" that I came to watch every fire performance they have [including their collab song with BigBang "Lollipop"... and that was the time I knew about BigBang as well.... I even have my msg alert tone as "Liolli lolli, oh lollipop!, Liolli lolli, oh lolli-lillipop; nah, that's not how we do it"].....

few months later, 2ne1 came back with I Don't Care (together with their first Mini Album), the RNB feel of the song (and CL's blonde highlights) made me fell inlove with 2ne1 even more.. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghSgt7QVTno] .. but still I was not fascinated by Bom that I still tag her as stupid (and same as with DARA).....

August of 2009, I joined YGLadies.com, the official fan forum of 2ne1.... I WAS OFFICIALLY A BLACKJACK.....

if was able to watch all fire performances, then it was no exception that I would not be following IDC as well..... I Don't care ran for weeks and weeks and weeks winning music charts a week after another.... it was totally DAEBAK!!!!....

because of me following 2ne1, I was also introduced to 2ne1TV (2ne1's documentary show on Mnet), or was it YGTV back then.... there I was able to follow 2ne1's off stage lives since their debut stage... and that was only when I came to love Bommie and Dara.... (Thank's YGTV!).. and that was also the time when I came to love the BOMINJI tandem....

2ne1 was practically a part of my life ever since, I used to automatically open three tabs on my browser everytime I go online and it is facebook, youtube, and YGL..... and I even have my Bed designed similarly to their double decked stair cased beds (as what I have seen on 2ne1TV)

I also remeber that first time I was able to do livestream just to catch 2ne1 broadcasted live, I remember it was their goodbye stage already, and they performed "In the Club" that time.... that was an epic day for me.... yes indeed....

December of 2009, the epic 2ne1st Street Musical Performance on MAMA.... I totally loved it.... ( since then 2NE1 became a notable epic Girl Group for Music Awards Performances [remember CL's Pheonix air stradling intro for Try To Follow me on MAMA 2010... was it MAMA? and everything was also history]

2ne1 seized promotions and I kinda lay low on k-popping since then, until they came back for promotions again, and I became active in my k-pop life ones more..... (it's not that I was a total 2ne1 bias that I only care about them, I still regulatrly check k-pop updates, and just listening to CL and Minji's Please dont go, Dara's Kiss and Bommie's You and I, but didn't really spazz about them....)

2ne1 came back with Clap your Hands, and releasing 2 more MVs in the same week (Go Away and Can't Nobody)..... as expected, during promotions, 2ne1 bagged #1s on Music Charts.... epic group indeed..... and that was also when I started following 2ne1TV season2 as well...... oh I can never forget that last ep when they were interviewed and they were all crying out of sadness for the end of the show.... CL cried, I can

never forget that.....

they said goodbye, and made lots of separate and group CFs and PVs for various products.... I was able to watch them all (almost all).....

Summer of 2011, I recieved my first ever 2NE1 ALBUM, and it ws their first full album "To Anyone". (it was given to me as a gift for my birthday... and I'm very very thankful to the one who gave it.... MWAH FIVI unnie!...)

June of 2011, 2NE1 came partying in my country with "The Party" concert at Araneta...... I was not able to go...... ='(...... huhuhuh!!!!

during that month as well, 2ne1 realeased Lonely, and opened a "Lonely Cover Making Contest",.... I even joined, by I so admit that my output was so fail.... [not gonna link it here... ahhaha] so NVM.... LOL... and around that time as well, Bommie released Please Don't Cry

months after, around mid of 2011 (am I giving out dates correctly??) 2ne1 came promoting the BEST SONG EVER..... I AM the BEST...... (well honestly I was notthat captured by it in the beginning)... it was also the time when MissA was promoting Goodbye Baby, and sadly, there was a moment when MissA won over 2ne1.... (I really do think GoodBye Baby was better than I Am the Best... I just think so)..... but I was partly sad about it....

weeks later, 2ne1 officially released their 2nd Mini Album promoting Ugly and Hate you on music shows, during that time MissA was still promoting GoodBye Baby, and T-ara was with their Rolly Polly as well (am I right, right???)... and sure did the three of them came head to head on charts.... but again, 2ne1 won #1 with UGLY..... well Ugly was a very nice song... and I so agree with this...

I remember live streeming ones and it was exactly the time when the winner would be announced... I was so tensed watching them live..... and they emerged as

winners.... oh that epic feeling of seeing your Girl group win a Music Show live.... totally LOVE

December 2011.... the epic MAMA 2011 that had the whole world streaming, I totally stayed up late just to watch it..... I saw CL perform Where is the Love with Apl d'ap and Will.I.Am..... and their epic I Am The Best performance..... and was was trully epic during that night is the feeling of watching it live and hoping and praying that 2ne1 will win all the awards they are nominated in.... but of course they can't have it all. .... (they almost did back in MAMA 2009..) at least 1 daesang is enough...... it was the feeling of winning and losing together with 2NE1 and the whole global BlackJacks.....

it was also that month of december when YG realeased the official 2ne1 NOLZA concert DVD..... I really wanted to have one.... but I still don;t until now....

(so hoping to have it this summer... oh puhlease)....

also on that month... I joined the Starry Night facebook roleplay, having MINJI as my character....

this is summer 2012.... and 2ne1 is now promoting for Intel Korea's Ultrabook... and I'm so waiting for the full promotional song.....

May 17, 2012..... 2NE1's 3rd Anniversary.... and here I am blogging about my 3 epics years of being a PROUD BLACKJACK.....

2ne1 indeed made a BIG BIG BIG, bigger than BigBang, mark on my life... I created many dreams because of them (everytime I hear fire, I alwasys wanna

perform... I badly wanna be an Entertainer.... it keeps on burning in me every time I hear that song... or if not, just beeing a YG dancer is enough for me,.... being able to perform and be in the same stage as 2NE1..... my life is complete.....) I'll still hold on to that dream forever because of them...

I am a Black Jack... I will always be....
