So some of you may know that my mom loves Korean dramas and singers. Some of you may have even been on the phone with me when my mom and I talked about Korean artists.

A few days ago, my mom and I were talking about DBSK and she had mentioned Bi, a.k.a. Rain, appearing in Vietnam. She also mentioned that she was really excited by a visit from a singer she really liked in her native country.

As Bi is planning to come to the US for a tour, I think I am going to try and bring her to one of his concerts, provided that she would go and not complain about how much I am spending and that she is too old to go to concerts and fangirl. It's sort of a combination birthday/Mother's Day present for her (if she accepts it.)

Bi performed last year and came back to perform in Ho Chi Minh City this year to lots of screaming fans. And it's not going to be televised. D: I hope there are fancams and if there are, I need to go look for some for my mom to watch on youtube.

Yes. She's a youtube pro, y0. Thank you, Google for the interwebs. :-P

Plus, he likes Vietnamese food! He should come to California. There are some great Viet restaurants here! *HINTS*

Anyways, news of Bi aside, here are a few more interesting links that I found in the 5 minutes of reading. \:D/

* BBC's Country Profile: Vietnam
* Angelina Jolie adopts a little Vietnamese boy.
* And the oldest living person in the world is how old?
* Preserving an 11th century Bastion!
* Hot Vietnamese real estate! Come and get 'em while it's hot!
* Dalat Crazy House! I wanna stay here!
* Hmm...shady business tactics in the music industry?
* Fascinating blurb about the forgotten Vietnamese royal family.
* The coolest travel trip ever. All done without motorised vehicles!

Anyways, I should stop ignoring work and finish everything today! ^_^ Also, only 9 more days til Japan! WHEEEEEE!

.......man, I wish I didn't have to work today.


I got some pretty great music over the weekend. The new india.arie cd as well as Corrinne Bailey Rae. Basked in some awesome soul music and jazzy sounds. I know, I know. Something that wasn't w-inds. for a change. XD But I did get the godkid addicted to the ageha concert version of Time Machine on youtube. XD He watched it 5 times straight. *is a proud godmommy*

And I had an amusing WoW story involving the godkid. As you may know, godkid has just turned 3 and is currently attending pre-school where the parents are around and the kiddies interact with each other. Godkid also loves playing WoW in his parents' or my laps. He's a smart kid and goes around boppin' on things with his fists in Shadowglen or something, never interacting with other people.

Welllll. One day, this kid was trying to bully my godson. So he calls out for his mom and goes "Mommy, can you sheep him?" I DIED LAUGHING. DIED. of utter laughter. His mom was so embarrassed because the bully's mom comes over and asks "What did you son mean by sheep?" She goes, "Well, my son wants me to polymorph your son because he's being a big bully and won't leave him alone." The bully's mom looked confused and she probably didn't know the meaning of polymorph, so she went over to her son and tells him to stop or else my godkid's mom was going to do a Very Bad Thing to him.

*sporfles*

And this song (a little pain by Olivia Inspi'Reira) is so freakin' beautiful, I can't stop listening to it.

:\ my burn itches and hurts with ghostly pain.

I envy you who have today and tomorrow off. Lucky bitches.
