Why TabiSan? A sevvy history into Kpop

Well, it is a long story probably because I like talking too much. It begins with why sevvy got into Kpop in the first place because before Kpop I didn't even like Pop at all. I listen to Alternative Rock Music. My favorite band is Matchbox20 who most of you may have heard of but couldn't quite remember what their songs were. Heck the title of their new album is "Banned from Mainstream" and what does it have to do with anything? I am just saying that a year ago I would have scoffed at the idea of listening to Kpop, they have always been a little too shiny for me when I like my songs deviously cheerful about watching the world end in my back porch. But I did start listening to Kpop because I strayed somewhere that was playing it. A friend's place where "Lolli.. lolli.. oh... lollipop" was resounding in the background and the cynic in me was screaming "Kill it! Kill it with fire!" and I ended up trying to find where it was playing from but in the end I couldn't find it. After a two days, I found myself singing the chorus. Gaddamit that song was hunting me. And it was annoying as hell to just know that word in the whole song! Then my husband caught the lollipop fever and he sang it while he was driving the car, I was like "what the hell? It's like a ing plague!" Then I just asked my friend who sang it and he told me. I googled it, watched it (didn't notice tabi yet) and decided that this thing is generally something I dislike. It was too... happy. Oh, if you must know I listen to JRock too (Japanese Rock) which means I have been fond of music that I uses a language I don't. So it wasn't the language barrier that deter me it was the aura of bright sparkly things. But shortly after, scrolling down the youtube selection I saw Fire and then that was when I got hooked. It was angsty and arrogant. Yes it was still sparkly but they were BAMF females. I like BAMF females. LOL.

Then I noticed how Dara seemed like a weaker link withing the four. Weak voice, mediocre dancing skills. Mostly she sings in autotune and what she had on her was basically looks and personality which was all nice and good but she was in the music industry so I was kinda like...well wondering why she was there. So after much research I found out the reason because she wanted it. Because she left a country where she was actually a celebrity of. Because she wanted to be a singer. She wasn't good but she wanted it. Now the cynic in me found that drive appealing. My motto had always been "no amount of effort that fails is worth anything" but here she is the living proof of something else. She is exceptionally beautiful because she proves something that I don't believe in myself. She isn't young either, around mid twenties when she left the Philippines the pursue a dream that had no solid foundation. But she went for it. Gambled everything and she won. She won me over too. This would be the first time I say it but I really am proud of Sandara Park. She is someone I look up to.

After a while I listened to 2ne1, my focus on the pretty but mediocrely talented girl cheered her on as she bask in the limelight. I found her being featured by GD in Hello. GD was of course something else. My first time seeing a blond Asian who actually looked good (mind you, I'm a Kpop noob and I am not saying that Asian's generally don't look good blond. Okay! Keep your on.) I liked Hello, it was cute. I actually kinda liked GD after a while with all his aegyo shy gestures during the performance. That boy is cute! I wanna squish him! I started listening to his music. It was good! He sang Maroon5's This Love which was actually something I liked before (though I may argue that I still think Original is the best) and I liked his version of it. But what truly got me was "A Yo" which was beautifully deep, even before I understood the lyrics it was a piece of his soul and it spoke to me. After that, it wasn't before long that GD and TOP made the GDTOP venture.

At first I didn't TOP, because I felt like he was stealing GD's stage. It was KJE's performance of Haru Haru where I felt like GD was under appreciated and this guy with white hair and red suit was getting all the cheers just because he has rough voice and well, he was kinda good looking. But after a while I was won over by his bushy eyebrows and his alien dance move that made him seem like he had no knees. It's not important, it was a very shallow decision. I liked his face and his voice. He is very manly. He made me swoon. Nonetheless I jump ship and got all obsessed with TOP and lo and behold I'm sorry features him and Dara. I saw him cry and after the thousandth time I saw that MV I decided to join AFF. Yes, because I wanted to write him stories about getting the girl. I am a writer and that was the least I could do (specially because I enjoy it) I wanted to give I'm Sorry TOP his girl. So after all that long winding story I ended shipping TopDara. Soon I found out their pairing is called TabiSan and their shipper GummyBears. If you're going to ask if I'm a Gummy Bear... maybe I am. I am hopeful for TOP to finally meet a girl he can keep (I am talking about this beautiful person who is actually really deep on the inside, I love him okay... not superficially as much as I front), I wish for Dara's happiness as well. They look good together, what is there not to ship. But it is a given that they do not talk to each other. I do not want to give in to delusions but I do feel giddy with Gummy Bear theories. LOL. But all in all I just want Tabi to find a girl and see him happy.

But that said I do have a TabiSan heart that gets jealous of TopBom for some reason. LOL.

The moral of the story is sevvy should kill herself because sevvy as the most creative procrastinator in the world. TOP would be disappointed! ; ; /runs away
