2NE1 Teaser Photos

CL - Are You Ready? (Released on 06.25.2012)

   

According to them, the concept for this comeback is sexy...and THIS teaser photo, is definitely sexy and sophisticated. The fishnet stocking adds to the ubersexiness, with CL-roo's pose and facial expression.

BOM - I love you (Released on 06.26.2012)


BOMMIE, this one is SWEET and SEXY. There is something innocent with BOM's expression, but of course with her gorgeous legs peeking, the sexiness is surely undeniable. 

DARA - 0705 (Released on 06.27.2012)


THIS is UNDENIABLY the BEST teaser photo that ever grazed the KPOP universe, and not just because I'm 2ne1 or Dara biased. Seriously, do you know any member of other girl groups who is brave enough to dare and pull a hairstyle like this? Yes, Dara's hairstyle are usually outrageous and striking, but this one is way over the top. For the friggin' love of KPOP, how can she manage to look this GORGEOUS, SEXY, and FIERCE with half of her hair shaved? Go, figure!

MINZY - Comeback (Released on 06.28.2012)


Eru-Minzy! This teaser photo truly makes me believe that you don't have to bare skin just to look SEXY. This is SEXY and SUBTLE. Minzy's waist is just ajskfhsjhsgh! 

The album release would be on July 05, 2012 as stated on Dara's photo with the single  "I Love You" and their comeback performance would be on July 08, 2012 at SBS Inkigayo. 

2ne1, HWAITING! 2NE1 NOLZA!

BONUS stuffs:


I'm guessing this would be the album cover. 


The promotional ad for their New Evolution World Tour.

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 16

Day 16 - A book you want to like, but can't get into for whatever reason. Why can't you get into it?

Divergent (Divergent, #1)

Veronica Roth's DIVERGENT

I didn't finished reading this one. I really wanted to like it since, well, almost everyone seems to like it except me. So, I promised myself to read this again...and maybe, just maybe, I'd like it this time. The first time I read this, it was immediately after reading the Hunger Games, so I guess I was kinda hung-over from that and I couldn't help comparing the two. This time, I'd read it again and I'll try to keep an open mind while reading it. Pffft! 

note: Ang gulo. Promise. Di ko naintindihan yung sinulat ko. Sakit ng ulo ko. Sakit sa bangs.

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 13

Day 13 - Favorite childhood book

This IS hard since I don't remember reading any books aside from text books when I was young. Seriously, I was a PART-TIME nerd and I don't think textbooks count in this challenge. LOLs. But I do remember my parents buying me this set of fairy tale books...and I remember that my favorite story from that was "The Frog Prince". So there.

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 12

Day 12 - A book so emotionally draining you couldn't complete it or had to set aside for a bit

The Idiot

Hands down! I haven't even finished this. I surrendered! Hahaha

Big Bang - Monster MV


Assdjdhsfjsdfhksgjsk!

Let me breathe first.
Breathe in. Breathe out.

I seriously don't know how to react with the MV. Of course, I DID expect something like this after seeing the teaser videos. Okay, now. The INTRO was creepy. It freaked the hell out of me. It was scary alright. Then here comes the boys. Their looks in the MV were both CREEPY (yeap) and COMICAL (with YB's Mickey Mouse hair). The MV was great, I mean, this IS Big Bang..I expect no less than that. BTW, I like the lone devil's horn for GD..and TABI, like a boss with the mannequin. BUT I must say that for this MV, Daesung..YES, Kang Daesung, my kept man..killed it! I love you Tabi, but Daesung was pretty much the hottest item in this video. Hands down to that! The song was great (as usual) especially Daesung's part. LOLs.

And for the record, I freakin' love you too and I don't care if you're a freakin' monster! Ayt?!
