Still Counting....

On the previous post, I may have mentioned about my exciting trip to Spain this coming August. Well including today, I have exactly 15 days left before I bored the plane and make my first trip to Europe. The only thing I am worried about right now is that I haven't started packing yet! According to the list of 'things to bring' I have A LOT to pack. But then the Summer weather I am having in the city right now is just too gorgeous to ditch and pack for hours! *Haha* well wish me luck that I will be able to get well prepared for this Pilgrimage!

Happy Summer Everyone!

When Music Touches Your Heart.......

To be honest, I never really pay attention to the Indie bands of the Kpop music industry. But this one amazing music group has really captured my attention. Recently, I clicked on the "Standing Egg" music playlist fround on the Jenpoo music site, and I was extremely amazed at the wonderful music that was on the playlist. It was a real treat to my ears. "Standing Egg" is an indie group composed of 3 members--Egg 1, Egg 2 and Egg 3. Clover is in charge of vocals along with Han Kyul. Hana is in charge of the Djembe.This trio consists of 2 composers and one writer . Egg 3 is the one who writes and produces all of their originals. Occasionally, they have other singers such as Windy featured in their songs. The first song that I got really attached to is "사랑한대" I believe it translates to "One Love" (apologies if this is wrong!!). This song gives to you a strong "summery" and care free feeling. I listened to this song while I walked home from the movies last week. It really matched the weather that day.....sunny,blue sky, with puffy white clouds here and there. It really made the walk home a fun one!

The second one I also really like is "앓이" I believe this translates to "Ache". This song is a more mellow, yet powerful song that really touched my heart. Somehow, I feel that this song has that Japanese kind of feeling to it-especially the chorus. The chorus kind of has the 'Kobukuro" style to it. I really really enjoy listening to this song. It paints a very soft picture of a girl waiting in a place full of nature--like flying flower petals and trees. This group sure makes easy listening and "fresh" tunes. Since the end of the university winter semester. I was stuck in quite a bit of dilemma of decisions on what I really wanted, and what was fit for me. I am glad I stumbled upon Standing Egg--their music has been a real relaxing tool for me through my stressful times. Have a listen to my two favorites from them! I have featured them on my blog. Be sure to check out their MV's and other music on their official YouTube channel "StandingEGG"! They just recently released a mini album full of originals and covers! Check out the audio videos there! As we all journey towards our own goals, let us take the time to relax and enjoy the Summer days!

Enjoy your Summer Everyone!
