f(x)

-

One of the reasons how I got into K-pop is because of f(x); a Korean pop girl group, not a function. Lol. I wouldn't expect to love K-pop music, but I did because of this group. I have a lot of reasons on how K-pop got to me, but that’s another blog post.

f(x) debuted on September 5, 2009. Today is their 7th anniversary. This group contains five members, Victoria, Amber, Luna, Sulli, and Krystal; now four because Sulli left last year. As a person who just got into K-pop, I didn’t know much about f(x). It was probably by the end of 2015 that I appreciated this girl group more. As I watched their music videos, interviews, fan vids, and their documentaries, I became an official fan of f(x). These girls are unique individuals who trained and worked so hard as a K-pop girl group.

They are strong, talented, lovable, and hardworking girls. They are different from the other girl groups that I've watched. f(x)’s music is creative, dynamic, and a little bizarre and it works for me. Each of their albums is so diverse.

Since Sulli left during 2015, people thought f(x) would disband and that’s the end of their career, but it wasn’t. These girls went through a lot ever since they debuted and seven years in the K-pop industry, they didn’t give up because of their fans. A big reason why I love this Kpop group is because they show endurance in the music industry compared to other K-pop groups and artists internationally. When they’re on stage, they don’t show that they’re tired; they’re just so natural live. I mean they danced and sang live while it was raining hard without any mistakes; that’s talent right there.

f(x) has this strong willingness and honesty to their fans and that’s why I love them. They finally got a fandom name called “MeU” and had their solo concert this year and they will continue to grow as a huge K-pop group.  

If you’re a fan of electric mix with pop music or just basic pop and you want to try to get into K-pop, listen to f(x). To start this K-pop journey, start with this group; you won’t regret it. f(x), happy anniversary! It’s been 7 years! I wasn’t a fan from the beginning, but I will stay as a MeU until the end. Thanks, f(x) for being ambitious, artistic, and strong group. I’m proud to be a MeU. 

 Favorite songs from f(x) that you guys should listen to: 

  • La Cha Ta
  • NU ABO
  • Electric Shock
  • Rum Pum Pum Pum
  • All Night
  • Paper Heart
  • 4 Walls
  • Goodbye Summer
  • Boom Bang Boom
  • Butterfly
  • Pretty Girl
  • Rainbow

My Top 10 OPM Songs (2017)

If you're not familiar with OPM, OPM stands for "Original Philippine Music" or "Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Manunugtog at Mangangawit". It's a music genre that's basically Philippine songs and ballads; and recently found out from friends that any OPM song composed by a Filipino singer or songwriter can be in English or any other languages. It took a while for me to become a fan of OPM. My papa and mama are fans and they usually listen to famous Filipino singers like Christian Bautista, Gary Valenciano, Erik Santos, Jose Mari Chan, Lea Salonga, Jed Madela, and Sarah Geronimo. I've been living in Philippines for five years now and the more I listen to OPM, the more I learn the Filipino/Tagalog language. I'm probably the slowest learner when it comes to languages and I feel bad 'cause I'm a Filipino. At least now, I'm decent with it than I was five years ago. My friends would give me suggestions of artists and bands and I love ex...

It all began with a rock…

This year, I got heartbroken for the first time from a guy who I thought was “the one”. First of all, I am not doing this because I want to be with him again and I am not doing this just to meddle in with his relationship. I am doing this to express my story about my first heartbreak. So, here it goes… Some would say you’re crazy for writing this; some would think it’s not a good idea. I know writing this is for me to finally let him go.  It was my sophomore year of college and I had a crush on a guy who was a little bit out of my league. You could say he’s pretty popular in the university that I go to because he was the type that girls go for. He was known for his voice and his looks. He knew that he had attention from a lot of students. I didn’t know who he was because he was a freshman. I didn’t think he was cute or even charming first time I saw him because I saw him from a far. But the time I saw him up close, I knew why girls would have a crush on this...
