Friday Night YouTube

It’s been a long time since I busted one of these out! But I’ve been finding a lot of cool stupid random ridiculous stuff on YouTube lately, and figured… since I haven’t been keeping you updated on work issues and writing, I should at least show you what I do in my lazy time.

So that Kpop thing… still a thing. More of a thing than before, even.

Cooking? Cooking! – Super Junior

I. love this song. There’s something about the dance with the hand motions and the catchy lyrics. And it’s like, the cutest thing. My sister and I tried to learn the dance, but it’s more complicated than it looks! So we just… run around doing the hand things, singing, “jfsoafnsfd… GUNGOYO!! osifjaodfadf… MADAJOH!”

Yoo Hoo – Secret

This song is everything that made me fall in love with Korean music. Girly, energetic, a little bit childish, overdose of cute, lots of drawing hearts in the air… if I ever learn a whole dance routine, it’s going to be for a Korean girl’s group song. Then I’ll sing it at work. I’ve already made several employee’s nights by dancing and singing to The Three Bears!

I guess I should show you that, too…

The Three Bears Song – As sung/danced by Song Hye Kyo in the Korean drama: Full House

What Was It That Made Me Meet Someone Like You – Bai An

This isn’t even Korean, but Mandarin. It’s just so… engrossing! The language is so different from any other sound I’ve ever heard; different from Japanese, Korean, and certainly all the Latin based languages. The lovely An has such a gorgeous voice, and I can’t stop listening to it!

Not Right Now, Derrick

This is one of those videos that requires a special brand of humour. The Napoleon Dynamite brand. Where it may not be funny the first time you watch it (or at all) but then your brothers start quoting it at very inappropriate intervals, and it makes it hilarious. Then you take it to your job and it’s even funnier!
Employee: Hey, Bethany, can you…
Me: NOT RIGHT NOW, DERIIIIICK!!!

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

I love Jane Austen. I love spin offs of Jane Austen’s stories. And apparently, I love finding things that are impossible to tear myself away from. There are so many quotable one-liners from this adaptation! It is hysterical, awkward, charming… everything Pride and Prejudice is, except put into a modern setting and told exclusively from Elizabeth Bennet’s point of view. I’m in love. It’s also super creative how they made Tumblr and Pinterest and Twitter accounts for all their characters and updated them as the vlog was progressing. It was so interactive and… just… you have to watch them.

And I know if I start to watch these again, I will never go to bed. So I’d better head off to finish my writing… TELL ME NOT TO CLICK THE LINK!!! TELL ME….!!!

Further Proof My Sister is the Best Sister

I come home from a long day at work; brain exhausted, ankles sore, thirsty as anything, and there on my Facebook wall was this…

And my sister’s note to accompany it: “…this better be my brother-in-law soon!”

If there is any fairness in this world, dongsaeng.

I want to be your boy friend. Do not be scared. Say yes
Only to you, A man like me is so kind
There is no other that is same as me,
You should know
So will you be my girlfriend
Don’t keep me in suspense
Say yes
I will not see other girls
Hey.  Are you willing to be my girl?

My heart seems to stop
The world is turning around you
So strange
This is the first time I feel like this
Before meeting you I believe love is just like wind in my life

I wanna be your boy friend. Do not be scared. Say yes.

I want you to be my girl.

Kdramas! …or why you haven’t heard from me.

Yes, I know, it’s been a while. Although no one’s contacted me through comments to beg for my return to the blogging sphere, I could sense your hearts crying out in pain as you missed me so severely.

It’s my manager’s fault for showing me Hulu’s collection of Korean dramas.

So, my lovelies! An update you shall have! An update meshed with my Friday YouTube clips because I haven’t done those in a while and it’s traditional for my generation to share video clips on a Friday night. (How many grammar nuts did I just offend with those last three “sentences?” I apologize.)

Before we get to the “me” stuff, though, I want to give my thanks to Mara-lovely-Mara (I did say that like it was one word.) for her makeup tutorial that inspired me to buy gold eye shadow!

I used the glowing look for the wedding I went to, and have been loving it and using it ever since. It’s a great, easy fix-up for work, too!

I meant to post some pictures from the wedding, but my wonderful friend likes to catch me in the most awkward expressions (she calls these “Freakish Beth pictures”) and the makeup wasn’t very prominent in any of them.

Here’s one anyway; my personal favourite she took that night…

A prime example of "Freakish Beth"

I know you can tell nothing of my makeup products from that picture, but I assure you that without them, Freakish Beth would have been far more hideous.

By the way, Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm is crazy expensive, but well worth it. I splurged on some “Pink Blossom” colour for myself, and it’s deliciou… I mean, very pretty! I love how light it is, so you get a not-too-far-from-your-natural-lips tint.

Friday Night YouTube

For this scene alone, You’re Beautiful/Minami Shineyo will forever be treasured in my heart. “Bi Bi noodles!!”

Wow. I took a little (forty minute) break to watch a bunch of behind-the-scenes. There were no subtitles, but the adorableness translates without the English.

And no, you won’t understand how great this song is until you’ve watched that drama and cried during the recording scene. Or at least teared up. Or… felt something… flutter… in your chest?

Since I’m all about Koreans tonight. xD

I can’t quite express why, but I find this one of the cutest things ever. (For context, he’s talking to his dog, Jolie. And she’s named after Angelina Jolie. Which somehow makes it cuter!! xP)

Okay. Now I should go do something more useful. Like… laundry. Or… or not.

‘Tis Saturday and I’m Chillaxin

As I sit here looking forward to my three-day weekend, (and drooling like a mad dog over a recipe for French Toast Stars) I take the time to enjoy the finer things in life.

Behold!

Go My Son

Go, my son, go and climb the ladder! …Make your people proud of yoouuuuhoooohooo!!

Indoors

Almost the polar opposite of the last song, but equally inspiring.

Never Say No

Aw, this is horribly funny! I laugh until my sides ache every time!

 

And in celebration of my weekend, I’ve saved the best for last!!!

A Downton Weekend

More YouTube Findings

Music 2 Luff

Sara Bareilles. I need to get a CD (or two) of hers. I’ve just been too lazy. Or is it frugal? No, it’s lazy.

Singing Gravity a capella. Bee-yew-tee-ful.

I’ve talked about covers before. This is another cover that I like so much better than the original. Funny, for the first time I understand these lyrics!

Eliza Doolittle sings with a very British accent which automatically makes her fantastic in my book and I’m quite proud to say I was in love with her music long before that Prius commercial kept playing “Rollerblades” on Hulu. ;P

How’s this for a cover?

And in case you don’t watch your TV on Hulu and therefore have not heard the entire Rollerblades song, here it is.

Romantikul

This is hilarious. I have no idea what it’s from or what on earth is going on, but it makes me laugh, so why not?

This is going under romance instead of music because it’s Josh Groban. The first ten times I heard this song I was falling asleep because I have his new album playing in my ears in bed. The first time I was fully awake and heard it I almost couldn’t believe it. It. is. gorgeous. Almost nothing like the original. Yes, this is another cover done better (I believe) than its predecessor.

Funniez

Lembas Bread: It’s what’s for dinner. And if not, it should be!!

I’ve recently become slightly obsessed with this Kid’s React thing. Lia is my favorite. She reacts to things much in the same way I would. Athena irritates me. But then… her name is Athena. Sooo…

I LOVE the boys, too!
“What did you think of the lyrics?”
“I understood it was Friday.”

“For some reason, everything is her fault!”

Aaaand, Charlie the Unicorn!

Don’t know if I’ve shared these before, but they’re so funny I laugh myself to tears every time, so here you are again… if it is again.
