My Journey on Becoming A Playgirlz

p/s: It is not the promiscous playgirl, it is the After School fandom name. Better clarify first before my poor mom suffer from a heart attack thinking her daughter is the actual playgirl ;p

I was watching a rerun episode of Inkigayo yesterday where After School still promoting Flashback. And I still have the same goosebumps attack as when I first watched their comeback. And then, I feel proud calling myself a Playgirlz.I feel proud watching After School performing on stage.

I found myself reminiscing the moments when I acknowledge their existence, taking interest in them, memorizing all members, humming to their songs, called myself a fan and finally choosing my bias.

2010: Getting To Know After School

1. I was introduced to k-pop.
2. Crazy over Super Junior.

I was watching Star Dance Battle at that time and was rooting for Suju. While waiting, I watched others. That time, AS was against SNSD. I still remember how amazed I am watching their movements and started shooting lotsa questions to my friends who are much more familiar with k-pop. Trust me, I only knew Suju, SNSD and DBSK. T____T



Since AS is not as famous as SNSD, my friends knew so little about them except Uee since she is once part of WGM. 

Watching the dance, I went like "OMG OMG OMG!!"..They are really good, creative and powerful especially Kahi..She is just....sexy..



Then, unsatisfied, I look for more After School dance videos. Major salute to them, they were really good in dancing. And I started thinking, why don't I check their songs and videos too.. 
Here, at this very moment, I started my journey alone as most of my k-pop loving friends are not interested in knowing After School. 

Next, I've checked their latest single at that time, Bang!. Honestly, Bang! does not leave any significant affect on me. The song was so-so. Not something that I would listen again. But, I kept coming back watching their MV, because... 
1. I really really like the girls' images
2.Their dance routine (because I keep checking their live perf)
2. UEE (yes, at that time I think UEE is the most beautiful)
3. Bekah alluring gaze (I wrote about it here)
4. Raina's adlib

The journey continues when I decided to know and memorize every members and I've started digging back their past songs and MV. Here, where I started to fall for Jungah.



2011: From Interested to Love and Meeting a fellow Playgirlz

Here, I've declared myself a Playgirlz as keep updating myself with their latest news, comebacks, variety shows and pictures. In other word, I've become obsessed. I started to forget Suju. :(

 I started blogging about my love to them and here, my fellow Playgirlz and blogging buddy, Vee left a comment on my chatbox "All hail After School".. I've become super excited!! Yes! A living Playgirlz!! Trust me, being at my place, knowing another Playgirlz/Boyz, will excites you.

But things started to look bleak when they announced that Bekah is graduating. At first, I 'thought' I can accept this graduation and admision concept. But when one of your bias is 'actually' graduating, it hurts so much that I thought:
1. Am I going to remain being a Playgirlz?
2. How am I to accept other rapper except Bekah?



I even feel a wee bit down when I heard Bekah's part was being taken over by others. I felt empty, really. As if something is missing, not right.
But because I'm still crazy over Jungah and the rest of the girls because they are extremely gorgeous, I still jumping up and down everytime I watched their performances and videos!! Their dances excite me. Their songs haunting my ears. I keep humming them.

2012: I'm a TRUE Playgirlz

Again, I received another bad news. Kahi is graduating. AS dancing backbone is graduating! And she is my 3rd bias. What will become of After School? One of the reason After School is known is because of the Kahi's dancing abilities. And of course UEE.. Is this the end for After School? 



I pray very hard that it is not. They are talented and they deserve the limelight. Here I've decided, with or without Kahi, I will become hardcore Playgirlz. I will support them.
Surprisingly, I was super duper impressed with After School's comeback and I did not miss Kahi one bit. I even despise those who laments "It is not the same without Kahi" bla bla bla.. Get over it! Love AS as one. Kahi is my blogging buddy main bias and she is not affected that much. She even managed to find herself a new bias (E-Young).
I know, one day, Jungah will graduated, because deep in my heart, I want her to have a solo career as it is her dream to become a performer. That's why you never see her pursuing other activities like acting. 



And I've started going gaga over new AS member, Kaeun. Vee is right, it does helps when you have more than one bias.



Here also, I've started rooting for Orange Caramel. Usually, I despise cutesy concept, but because of AS, I've started liking OC



This is what I meant when I say I love AS as one. Cutesy or sexy, I heart them. Every single member.
And I'm never bored with Flashback. :)

The 3 Songs That Lift Up My Mood

I've been facing tough weeks..
I failed my entry exam..
Never-ending, always in circle sad stories..
Under appreciated...

But luckily..
I have these 3 current songs in mp3 to take me to my own little world for a while and forget my miseries..

1. After School-Flashback


This song makes me feels sexy..
I feel like dancing and forget about the fussy problems..
"B...b..b..boy i miss you"
I'm swinging my body yeah!!

2. Hello Venus - Venus


Even my own self surprised at this..
Usually, I don't really dig cutesy concept and songs..
But I found myself humming to this song..
This is like-able..
This song makes me feels sooo light and happy..
I even did cute poses like the duck's lips while humming this song..

3. F(x) - Electric Shock


Listening to this song, I feels like walking around with chin up high, flowing swishy hair and look nastily at people who upset me.
Maybe I should wear heels and a suit too..and put my hair up in chignon..
Hahahaha..
*flip my hair here*
*swish my hair there*

And the moment I caught myself in the mirror doing either of these 3 songs' imaginary movements, I've stopped myself..
Because I look ridiculous and horrendous..
I should just be the female version of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock The Third and get myself a toothless dragon..
Who??
Aiyah, just go and read or watch How To Train Your Dragon

After School(애프터스쿨) - Flashback MV Review (with lots of sexy word in it)



Is out!! The MV is out!!
Thank God..
Now I'll pray for world peace.. 

Here's what I think about it..
This is my last minute update..
I might be a bit blur on giving the right description and words..
But I MUST, i repeat, I MUST blog about this!!
Kyaaaaaaa...

The Music
Like a friend of mine stated, it's not a love at first hearing (eh, betul ke??)..
I even need sometimes to adjust my ears to this song.
It's an acquired taste..
But it is not a bad song..It's just a normal song..
You can read her opinion piece on this song.
She nailed it better.
I don't know how to properly describe a song..
Lots of things to learn..
It's not really the greatest song of AS.

The Music Video


Now here's the upside of everything. The MV is balancing back (no no, make it overbalancing) the songs. Making it such a one superb comeback..
This MV is everything like I have imagined! It is dark and very sexy.
And oh my! That sure one hell powerful dance..and sexy.. (Did I just mention sexy again??)..
But I'm not really sure about the gun scene either..
But Jooyeon certainly looks convincingly full of vengeance with her gun on that guy's head..
Every single one of them is gorgeous and sexy (there you go, sexy again)..
Sex Goddesses..
I can't really determined who is the most pretty..
Ok I lied..Of course it's my Jungah-eonni..
I can't peeled my eyes of her..
I'm officially a part-time lesbian..
I never thought I would go crazily ga ga over girls..
Only AS have that effects on me..
*Damn you PLEDIS!!*
And, I still feels heavy in the heart realizing Kahi is no longer part of AS..
Live long AS!
