I have Arirang TV now!!


I totally forgot commenting about this but I have Arirang TV now!! About a month and a half ago after I moved in, they came to connect the cable TV and told us that we could take advantage of a current promotion and they added some extra channels free of charge.
I cannot tell you how happy I was to find out that Arirang was one of those extra channels! And while checking it, Pops in Seoul was the first show I watched. My heart started racing when I saw TVXQ there!! Haha, well now the promo is over but my “other half” was kind enough to leave that channel (even if we have to pay some extra $$ to have it). I have to say the quality of programs and documentaries is quite good. I wish we had a similar channel here, showing the rest of the world all the good things my country has to offer.
I almost never miss Pops in Seoul (although that VJ ISak really gets on my nerves...) and Showbiz extra. We also watch “Homey Korean” and “let’s speak Korean” but apparently they are not teaching to beginners so most of the times I do not learn a single word in Korean T_T
It’s really fascinating to see how people live on the other side of the world. Sometimes I cannot believe how different (and similar at the same time) we are.

DBSK upcoming 4th Korean Album


I've been checking DBSK's sites these days since I heard their 4th Korean album was going to be released at any time. There was a lot of speculation about the date, but I saw random interviews where Xiah said "probably August, September, October"
Probably me and other fans in South and Central America won't be able to buy their album as soon as it is released given the prices in dollars (way too expensive for us) but I was checking just in case...
But when trying to find some info - apparently the date is going to be Sept. 24 - I found some YouTube videos showing them and their new looks in the SM concert held last August 15.
I WAS IN SHOCK!! What happened to the sweet DBSK boys? There were certainly NO BOYS on stage... 5 super hot sexy handsome men were there instead.
I'm still trying to get used to Micky's new hairdo, I even mistook him for JJ in some parts of the video (it was a low quality fan cam video), all of them have been secretly working out! Xiah has definitely ceased to be the cute, always smiling boy to adopt this sexy seductive attitude permanently. JJ and U-Know are as sexy as always and Changmin, OMG, he should do as their huyngs and show a bit more skin ;-)
I had noticed that in their last shows they added more interaction with their backup female dancers, which made their fans go wild every time they touched these girls on stage.
But what really made me laugh my head off was the comments that fans left below these videos. Things like "I'm dead and in Paradise" or "massive nosebleed" "hotness overdose" and the like were flooding the comments section.
I thought there was a before and after their song "Hey Girl" and the performance with the girls and the chairs but I have confirmed this now that I saw these SM concert videos.
I also read that their album pre-order already sold 200.000 copies!
And what about the pic above?? Just a small sample of their upcoming album... All of them shirtless behind that black see-through fabric? mmmm... It leaves a lot to our imagination; they have succeded in leaving us wanting more... (maybe the fabric will be gone one the new album is released?? ;-) )

Madonna in BA


En tres horas, los fanáticos de Madonna agotaron las entradas para su show en River
La venta de tickets arrancó a las 9 de la mañana y antes de las 12 ya estaban agotadas. Los precios de las entradas arrancaban en 95 pesos para las generales y las más caras, para el campo vip, ascendían a 630 pesos. El recital se realizará el 6 diciembre en el Monumental, en el marco del "Sticky & Sweet Tour".
In a Nutshell, the tickets for Madonna's concert to be held in BA on December 6th sold out in 3 hours after being put on sale.
People, I was even considering paying the $215 (around 70 US dollars) for the show!! I didn't even had the TIME to think much about it, tickets were sold out in 3 freaking hours, aish...
I went to see her last time she was in BA (I was in my teens back then) and had the time of my life. I admire her, she's such a hard-working artist!
I will now have to wait and see if new dates are added! boohoo :-(
