Body Parts, and 너무 좋아

was going through lessons at learnkoreanlanguage.com and they had a body parts vocab list. this song came to my mind and helped me remember some of those body parts. thanks GD, and Zion T for making such a great song. his Crayon song taught me head, shoulders, knees and toes too (머리 어깨 무릎 발). Crooked taught me little finger (새끼 손가락). Chest/heart (가슴) is used in many songs, but I took notice of it first in So Ji Sub's Sound of Memory few blog posts back.

너무 좋아 가사

I Love It Lyrics

네 입술과 향기가 좋아

Your lips and your scent, I love it

너의 긴 다리와 짧은 치마 좋아

Your long legs and short skirt, I love it

You see that 눈이 가는 엉덩이 I love it

You see that? My eyes go to that butt I love it

나도 모르게 또 손이 가는 허리 ooh I like it

Without knowing, my hands go to your waist ooh I like it

가는 발목이 하이힐 위에 하루 종일 baby

Your thin ankles are in high heels all day baby

Could you be my lady cuz I know you want it

Could you be my lady cuz I know you want it

이건 클럽 아님 bar sky lounge sky high

This is a club or a bar, sky lounge, sky high

캐주얼 말고 더 dress up해

Not casual but dress up more

멈추지 말고 계속해

Don’t stop and keep going

Rose dom p cigar 따고

Rose, Dom P, with a cigar

흥분돼 아님 말고

Are you turned on? If you’re not, never mind

Party like met gala

Party like Met Gala

우린 노는 물이 달라

The way we party is different

네 눈빛과 말투가 난 좋아

Your eyes and the way you talk, I love it

너의 긴 머리와 코 끝에 점 좋아

Your long hair and your beauty mark on your nose

나는 좋아

I love it

You see that 눈이 가는 엉덩이 I love it

나도 모르게 또 손이 가는 허리 ooh I like it

가는 발목이 하이힐 위에 하루 종일 baby

Could you be my lady cuz I know you want it

지금이 몇 신지는 또 어딘지는 중요하지 않아

It’s not important what time it is or where we are

내가 누군지는 뭘 하는지는 물어보지 말아 girl

Don’t ask me who I am or what I do, girl

그냥 이렇게 즐기다 집에 가버리면 돼

Just enjoy the moment and go home later

서로 비밀로 묻어놓고

And keep this a secret between us

네 까만 스타킹 너무 좋아

Your black stockings I love it

네 빨간 립스틱 너무 좋아

Your red lipstick I love it

네 야한 미소 너무 좋아

Your sexy smile I love it

네 모든 것이 너무 좋아

Everything about you I love it

그녀의 입술과 향기가 좋아 ye

Her lips and your scent, I love it

너의 긴 다리와 짧은 치마 좋아

너무 좋아

대체 넌 어디서 왔니

Where did you come from?

왜 지금 나타났니

Why did you appear now?

어쩜 그리도 완벽한지

How can you be so perfect?

널 보면 늘 감격하지

I’m always in awe when I see you

너무 밝아 조명을 줄일게

Is it too bright? I’ll turn down the lights

잘 봐 나 끼 좀 부리게

Look carefully so I can show you my moves

선녀와 나무꾼 보다는 숙녀와 난봉꾼

Rather than the fairy and woodsman, it’s the lady and playboy

네 눈빛과 말투가 좋아

너의 긴 머리와 코 끝에 점 좋아

너무 좋아

지금이 몇 신지는 또 어딘지는

중요하지 않아

내가 누군지는 뭘 하는지는

물어보지 말아 girl

그냥 이렇게 즐기다 집에

가버리면 돼

서로 비밀로 묻어놓고

Yeah

Gotta love it

Brought to you by GD

Boys Noize, Zion T

And your girl

너무 좋아

Progress and the lack of it

When I was first learning Hangul (한글), I took forever to read each individual syllable and to read an entire phrase, much less a sentence, took so much effort. By the time I managed to decipher the words at the end, I would have forgotten how the words sounded like in the beginning. Now that I can more or less read hangul, the problem when reading a sentence is remembering the meaning of the words I read in the beginning while I read the sentence till the end. =.= Well, I guess with more practice, it will no longer be a problem.

Another problem I have is with the way the sentences are structured. Even if I know the meaning of the words, the way they are arranged, being so alien compared to English, makes it hard to understand the sentence as a whole. For example, if I tried listening to the speech in the dramas I watch, I would sort of understand the gist, but I wouldn't be able to construct a sentence in English like the subtitles.

That's why I feel kinda stuck in my learning nowadays. The speech is too fast and I'm still lacking knowledge on a ton of grammar and vocab so I can barely understand even 10% of the shows that I watch. And even when I do understand the words, I feel that a person who knows nothing about the language would be able to understand too, based on their actions and scenarios. Disheartening.

SJS's reaction to reading Fifty Shades of Grey

외국 나가기 전에 공항 서점에서 급하게 집어나온 책.
비행기에서 읽다가... 허걱!
조금 더 읽다가 또 허걱...!
계속 읽어야 되나 잠깐의 고민, 그러나 어느새 계속 읽고 있는...
조금은 뻔하고 자극 적이지만 아찔하게 쓰여진 소설.
3부중 이제 1부를 다 읽었는데.. 다음편을 계속 읽어도 괜...괜찮..을까요?

Before flying abroad, I hastily picked up a book from the airport book store.
While reading it on the plane... Gosh!
After reading a little more, gosh again...!
Continued reading though not without a moment's worry, but finished reading all too soon...
It was a little stimulating but killingly written novel.
Now that I've read one part out of three.. To continue reading the later installments.. would also be al...alright?

Again, I translated this on my own with Google Translate's help, so trust it at your own risk.

Some Korean words to learn..
전(에): before (time particle), 前
후(에): after (time particle), 后
읽다: to read
(v)-다가: while -(v)
계속: continue, unceasingly, 继续
소설: novel, 小说

Gosh, this 아저씨 is too cute. 풔하하하. Of course it's alright to read this kind of books... secretly :x I wonder what the book store assistant thought when he/she sold the book to him. and I wonder how many people judged this guy celeb reading a hard copy of 그레이의 50가지 그림자 publicly on the plane. I know I would be too embarrassed to read it in public. I've not read this book, but this guy sure has me interested. Though the plot isn't that interesting to me... Dilemma. He would have found it good to wanna read the other two parts right? I've since read this book. And if not for wanting to know what this man went through reading it, I would have stopped pretty early. Now I hope I won't know if he has finished reading parts 2 and 3 cos I know I'd want to read too. But of cos, I want to know everything about him so do tell me if he has finished reading the other two parts. shit this fangirling is complicated and stupid. lol

Edit: Okay.. I've just found out So Ji Sub did a photoshoot with Terry Richardson in 2007 based on the concept of a B movie called The Brown Bunny for W Magazine. Apparently they said he watched it ten times as preparation for it? There were SM scenes and a shot of him in super low pants or aka no pants, though I'm quite sure it was photoshoppeed. I wonder why they didn't photoshop abs on him though. lmao. Anyway, point is, he's not that innocent anyway eh. pfft. What for act all surprised and hesitant about reading the 50 shades series. :/ le sigh. Apparently though, he's the first Asian star that Terry Richardson shot, which I suppose is quite an honour.

On a side note, that photog's name sounded pretty familiar to me and I had the vague idea that he did a photoshoot with Bigbang too. Which I looked up, and he did; a normal looking one...

Edit: Just saw that 9½ Weeks was featured in 51K Kulture too. It's a 1986 erotic film. I give up. His guts are stronger than mine. I can't take all these shit. And I definitely am not gonna read parts two and three of fifty shades no matter what now.

소지섭 - 추억소리 가사

So Ji Sub - The Sound of Memory Lyrics
가만 가만 내 가슴 위에 귀를 대고 안기면
hush hush if you put your ear on my chest
나의 맘이 추억소리를 네게 들려 줄거야
you'll hear the sound of memories in my heart

I translated it on my own, so trust it with caution.

Seriously wtf. This Road No. 1 OST already breaks my heart and makes me tear, and now that I know the effing lyrics' meaning, I'm broken. 이장우 씨. 니 삶이 왜 이렇게 슬퍼네요? Mr. Lee Jang Woo, why is your life sad like that? I don't know if I have the Korean right, but whatever. lol.

and Mr. So Ji Sub, I WANNA PUT MY EAR ON YOUR CHEST GODDAMMIT whatever the damn reason is; feel you up, hear your heartbeat, get close to you, CUDDLEZ. LOL. ahem. I mean, listen to the sound of memories in your heart.
