Jealous Much? & A Racy Issue

Admit it.  As a fangirl (or fanboy), you've experienced a fit of jealousy when you see your bias getting close--or your perception of getting close--to a person of the opposite gender.  This may be worse if the bias is a really popular one and the fan has a strong emotional attachment to them.  Such is the case with Jonghyun's ShaWols when they found out about him dating Shin Sekyung.  Many were very upset, and probably still are.  This tends to be the reaction of most fans with comments like "OMG~!  I'm so jealous!  I wish I was that girl/guy!"  However, in the case of Shindong (who is actually going to marry his girlfriend...someday) many fans weren't as upset.  This may be because he's not the most favorite member like Donghae or Siwon, so most fans tend to congratulate.
Being a fan of TVXQ--one of the most popular S. Korean male groups--I hear comments of jealousy quite often.  Most often though, I pay it no mind.  Maybe it is because it is not my bias, Changmin, that is in that situation.  I had also told myself that I wouldn't be some jealous chick and stoop myself to the level of fans that go all insane if they see their oppa with another woman.  But when Changmin is involved...that previous thought kind of goes out the window.  ^^;;  However, I don't want to induce physical harm on her.  It just gives me the feeling that I'm never going to get that close to Changmin whenever he's involved with a girl.  It's happened a few times:  when he admitted he's already kissed (back in 2008), the rumor of him not being a virgin (also back in 2008 when I heard it), when he's had a girlfriend for 10 months (some recent interview).  Then there are the actual interactions he's had with female stars that he looked close with.  It was rather difficult to watch 'Paradise Ranch' I must admit, but I made it...kissing scenes and all.  Then he started doing a few photoshoots with Lee Yeonhee, his co-star.  And then just today, I saw pics from the SBS show called 'Heroes'.  I think I could have had the mindset to not really mind it so much, but when comments like "I (wor)ship Changmin and __________" or "I wouldn't mind if they got married" start to show up, then I get upset at the whole concept.  Here is some pictures of today's latest Changmin spazz/downer:

Such A Sweet Video...

While searching for a good Maaya Sakamoto song to let some people of Facebook listen to, I instantly thought of the song, "No Fear~Aisuru Koto" (I suggest you all listen to this one).  So while typing it in, this is the first video I clicked because this person took the time to put the song with the ideas of helping Japan.  It is such a sweet video, and I think you all should take a look at it.  Please enjoy~!



Happy Belated Birthday, Maaya Sakamoto!

I am a day late on this (two days if you go by Japan time), but I'd like to wish my favorite Japanese songstress a Happy Birthday!  On March 31st, Maaya-san turned 31.  I was thinking about spamming my Facebook and my Twitter with everything Maaya related, but I didn't.  Then I was going to make a post for her, but I didn't either; hence, my post today.
