mấy bữa nay nói chuyện, để ý bản thân rất hay trả lời một câu bắt đầu bằng: “nhưng mà…”. bỗng dưng thấy thật ngớ ngẩn khi dùng “nhưng mà…”. khi bắt đầu bằng “nhưng mà…” nghĩa là những gì nói trước đó đều vô nghĩa, mình đang phủ định ý kiến của người ta. hồi trước, mình hay trả lời bằng từ “không", cũng cảm thấy nếu nói chuyện mà bắt đầu như thế thật vô nghĩa, thiếu tôn trọng người khác. chưa kịp suy nghĩ, mồm đã bật ra chữ “không", kể từ giây phút bật ra chữ này là đầu óc sẽ tìm mọi luận điểm để phản bác ý kiến, không còn sáng suốt nữa, dẫu có đồng tình với ý kiến của người ta nhưng đã lỡ nói “không” rồi thế là cố chấp giữ lấy cái tôi.
nhưng mà…
là một kiểu lấp liếm, bao biện. mình không thích tinh thần của chữ này.
I want to know about the things going on in the world, and be an educated participant in society
but psychologically and biologically I can’t live my life to a continuous background chant of “everything is awful, everything is awful, everything is awful,”
and I still don’t really know where the balance is.
“ Việc sắp quên người yêu cũ mà lại gặp mặt cũng giống như vừa tắt đèn đắp chăn đi ngủ thì lại cảm thấy buồn tè. Bật chăn lên thì không đủ can đảm, nhưng nằm yên đấy thì thốn vô cùng. ” :))
Whatever your opinion is on SNSD, I don’t think you can deny the power of Girls’ Generation. Since their debut in 2007, SNSD has made quite the landmark in K-pop. They are often considered the queens of K-pop and started off major K-waves into international waters. They’ve performed all around the world and had several sold-out concerts.
Since it is the their tenth anniversary and three members left the group, I decided to show some Soshi love with a ranking of my favorite SNSD songs! Support all the SNSD members (all 9) and their choices!
10. The Boys (2011)
A princess-themed concept after a one year hiatus? I mean, that’s one hell of a comeback! It was catchy and edgy; it also started the beginning of their mature phase! The Boys’ lyrics were powerful and cool (idk why some hated on it, but whatever). Also, the MV was stunning.
9. Into the New World (2007)
This was easily one of the most recognized and memorable debuts in K-pop. I’m not a big fan of this kind of pop music, but I understand the power that is Into The New World. 10 years later it is still covered by rookie girl group idols, and is considered to be a girl group Anthem! (Also, Hyo’s dance break is legendary.)
8. Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)
‘Genie for wish’ still plays in my head sometimes. I love the Marine/Military concept, and their outfits were so well-coordinated! Also, the hackey-sack dance showed off a new side for the girls, especially after the cuteness of Gee!
7. Run Devil Run (2010)
The first song for the unnies, or so they said. After three years of absolute sweetness, RDR showed off a dark side to the nine-membered girl group. The makeup during this era was to die for! It was a song that also started Hyoyeon’s rap career!
6. You Think (2015)
You remember that car? You remember Hyo’s rap? You remember Soo’s rap? You remember those diamond costumes? You remember those ad-libs? Because I do.
5. Gee (2009)
Gee really jump started SNSD’s career. We could debate if SNSD would’ve reached the same kind of popularity if they did not have Gee under their roster. This song won nine weeks straight on MBC Music Core and became a staple of K-pop music for years and years! The pastel costumes, the crab dance, and the mannequin theme were too much not to love.
4. I Got A Boy (2013)
These outfits were to die for! I loved the different themes and costumes; they really played around. Also, this MV probably cost SM some serious bills, but it paid off - it’s super colorful and bright!
3. All Night (2017)
THEY SLAYED ME THIS YEAR! The club image and the smoothness to the song reminded me why I love this group. It also made up for the fact that they made me wait two years for a comeback. Also, I want the entire wardrobe, not that I could rock half their outfits, but whatever.
2. Catch Me If you Can (2015)
The simplicity of this MV was flawless: only two costumes, one set, and some bomb ass choreography. SNSD’s one attempt at EDM will hopefully go down in history. ALSO, DOG TAGS NEVER LOOKED BETTER!
1. Mr. Mr. (2014)
Mr. Mr. is a song that I can listen to over and over again. There’s something cool, sultry and powerful about this single. The visuals in this MV were crazy too: crazy doctors. Did you know that it was the first time that they danced with male back-up dancers too? Even though it was Jessica’s last time with the group, it really outdid itself.
Support Taeyeon, Sunny, Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Yoona as they continue with SNSD! Support Tiffany, Sooyoung, and Seohyun as they pursue acting careers! Support Jessica and her business endeavors! This is what it means to be a true SONE!
“It was a tsunami. In April of ’82 there was an article in the New York Times about a new gay cancer, and everyone thought ‘oh well.’ I was in my twenties. I wasn’t worried about a thing. But then every week you started to hear about somebody becoming ill. My boss was one of the first. He was a famous florist. He went into the hospital on Thanksgiving and was dead by Easter. I lost most of my friends. A lot of the first men to die were privileged. They were closeted, corporate white men. During the day they were bankers but at night they’d hit the leather clubs and bars. But they learned their privilege didn’t matter after they got sick. They were just ‘gay.’ We had to fight for AIDS to be recognized by the government. We joined together with people of color, and junkies, and prostitutes. It was a beautiful thing, really. Our feminist lesbian sisters taught us how to protest because they’d been doing it for decades. They showed us how to organize meetings, and bring people together, and force the government to the table—things we’d never had to think about as white men.”
