Brighter than gems(or mushroom) Fany Fany Tiffany...
I dont usually do birthday posts for the girls but I believe Tiffany deserves one. I know I am a big Yoona fan and all but if you asked me who is the most inspiring and motivational figure in Girls' Generation? The answer has to be Tiffany.
This girl at her early teens left her home in the US to pursue her dream to be a singer in Korea. Eventhough she was alone in a foreign country, Tiffany had always been bright, friendly and loud. After 3 years as a trainee in SM Entertainment, she finally debuted with 9 other girls as Girls' Generation/SNSD.
It was supposed to be a dream come true for her but things weren't so bright then. Like other Korean artists, as SNSD fan base grew, so did the number of anti-fans and it's sad to say that Tiffany has picked up the most anti-fans compared with the other girls of SNSD. She was critisized for being rude to her seniors, called clumsy because of her mistakes in performances, and nicknamed Ddilfany (dumb fany) for being bad with the Korean language.
Despite all those hatred diverted towards her, Tiffany never did once showed signs of giving up. All she did was flash that famous smile of hers and try harder to improve on her short-comings. 3 years after her debut, she now speaks perfect Korean. She improved to the extend that she was casted as an MC for Music Core. She no longer makes glaring mistakes on stage because she works harder then the other girls just to perfect her dances.
Read the testimonials from staffs or artists that had met Tiffany before and you'll find it funny that they are people that can actually hate this girl. She's hardworking, lovely, kind-hearted, cheerful, friendly and the list just goes on.
Among the 9 girls, she's the most hardworking one as aknowledged by SNSD's manager himself. Among the 9 girls, she's the one that takes care of the other members the most as aknowledged by the members themselves. Among all idol singers, she's the friendliest one as aknowledged by many people that had a chance to work with her.
She has this amazingly attractive and bubbly voice that just makes you want to listen to her eventhough she's blabbering nonsense. Her vocals are nothing short of amazing.
She's achieved so much and it's all because she worked hard and didn't give up. It's hard to see but this matured girl just turned 21 today.
Testimonials:
“It was really brave of her, really. I had my whole family supporting me. They’re here with me right now, but she still doesn’t have her family here and now she’s so big, she’s so huge, here in Korea. And, I think her family would really be happy.” - SNSD Jessica.
“Tiffany cannot lead in dancing or anything but she knows her weakness well, and to improve…for example if we had to master some choreography in one hour, she would practice for another two more hours. So yeah, I was envious of her hard working spirit.” - SNSD Yuri.
“She really studies hard. She became the MC for a music show and she felt proud and studied even harder. Everyday she would study the script and write down things she didn’t know, and ask about words she doesn’t understand and would write down the definitions.” - SNSD Yoona.
“All of my unnies take care of me very well, but Tiffany takes care of me a lot.” - SNSD SeoHyun.
“When I had an eye contact with her randomly, she shows that sweet eye smile. Every time I see that smile, I feel happier. It makes me to smile along side her so hard that my cheekbone starts to hurt” -Inkigayo scriptwriter.
“Aegyoful cute Tiffany. She gave me chocolate, and after the shooting, She sat right next to me on the floor. Not sure why but she looked and smiled happily at my startled expression. So we took this picture, and took another one using my cell phone. She’s really cheerful and kind. Probably that was a part her training…but it’s hard to find someone kind and good mannered like her these days. I just want to say I was honored that we shared a lengthy conversation.” - Arena staff member.
“The door opened and Tiffany first came inside the studio. Slim legs and bright smile. She already became a lady from a girl. But the ground shaking sound of “Hello!”, her unique greeting is still the same. Without a doubt, Tiffany has the sincerest greeting manner among idol singers I have seen. Not only that she really actively participates in the interviews. Well, half of things she talks about is on herself, but for another half, she talks about how good other members are before anyone.” - Interviewer from 10 Asia.
“SNSD members are all nice. Especially Tiffany and Sunny are examples of really nice young adults, which is kind of hard to find these days. They are like angels. I should have known it from the last photo-shoot I had with them. Those two greeted 45 staff members individually. Truthfully, this never happens and I would almost say that it’s weird to see such a situation. Tiffany was also very unique. All throughout shooting, she kept advertising for us. I guess she had a phone call during the 1 hour break for lunch. She kept repeating on the phone that everyone here is really nice and fun to work with. That made me feel so thankful, but in addition, she would make and bring coffee for staff members. Usually it would be the staffs who would bring coffee for the idols, so how nice must that have been… Photographer Kim Dongchul was eating a sandwich and she went over there to thank him and give him a little massage. After shooting, Kim Dongchul said, “They are really nice people. I wish I can marry off my son to one of them,” and was full of other good compliments. Tiffany brought a chair for the editor who stood up to organize the charts, and Sunny, who did not have any breakfast herself, handed out sandwiches to all staff members before sitting down to eat herself. I really want to thank the two of them and say that they grew up really well. I remember being really surprised a few weeks ago, on Kim Jungeun’s Chocolate, Tiffany said that her mother… was not with her anymore. I thought that Tiffany was raised so well inspite of that and would like to see my daughters grow up to be like Tiffany in the future.” - Ceci Fashion Editor.
“Tiffany was the best, she and Yuri really cheered us up. I was holding the reflector for her and was just three feet away from her and I was so tired I murmured ‘oh darn… so tiring…’ then Tiffany looked at me and said ‘It is tiring yes? Hwaiting!! Cheer up!!!’ so I told her she was my favorite and she laughed out loud.” - LG Chocolate Assistant.
“The way Tiffany unnie thinks… She is very mature. Her sense of responsibility is strong as well. There are many things to learn from her.” - SeoHyun.
“I’d like to have Fany’s bright and positive personality. I really like to learn her toughness and positive mind that allow her to persistently overcome any fears.” - Sunny.
“When Tiffany laughs, she laughs so innocently and like a child. But she’s really mature and adult-like. She’s really thoughtful and I think there are lots of things we can learn from her.” - Sooyoung.
“She can shed tears because she went through a lot of pain that people don’t know about.” - Kang Ho Dong during strong heart talking about Tiffany’s pre-debut years.
“Because of my introverted personality, it was really difficult at first but Fany supported me well. She’s younger than me but I learned a lot from her. She’s really hardworking, and it feels comfortable around her.” - Kim Hyesung
“Tiffany has an ability to capture people’s heart.” - Sung ShiKyung
“Tiff is a fighter and that’s what I love most about her, she’s very optimistic too so she’s pretty much the lil’ sis I never had” - Ida ‘DJ Isak’ Simmons.
“‘The one who gives me faith’. When I’m tired I talk to Tiffany unnie, she listens to me and gives me advice and prays for me. When I listen to those words from unnie I start feeling lot better and happier.” - Sulli.
“She is seriously one of the most self-less and truly loving friends I’ve ever known or met. She cares so much about every one of you, and she really does pray for all her fans, I think sometimes more than herself. She is a walking angel.” - Jaeson Ma.
And last but not least... "TIFFANY JJANG!" - SNSD leader Kim Taeyeon

The media and antis have tried to destroy Tiffany after her debut. It obviously didn't work. She persevered through those hard times and as time passed, antis turned into loyal fans. I've read fan testimonials that they have initially hated Tiffany but the more they know her, they found it hard to not like her. An American born girl who was once hated has changed into a Korean singer that is loved by many.
She's achieved so much and it's all because she worked hard and didn't give up. It's hard to see but this matured girl just turned 21 today.Happy 21st Birthday

SM family.
a short one... i've noticed this ever since i've been into kpop. the biggest difference between artists from SME and artists from other production companies is stage manners. While other companies (JYP especially) try to make their artists perform "professionally", SME actually gave their artists a bit more freedom. The result? On-the-spot choreo improvisations, random shout-outs in between lyrics and most importantly happy faces laughing while performing.
I'm supposed to attend a concert by 1 of those groups tomorrow..... things didn't go the way I wanted in the end.... Life sucks...

Friendster.... and what-ifs
Some people may not even remember Friendster but before Facebook, Friendster was the "in" thing. Back then there was no games or apps for us to waste time on. Just a website solely for keeping us connected with friends.
It's been a few years since I've logged in to Friendster and I really never had the thought of doing so because EVERYONE has switched to Facebook. Out of the blue, a friend of mine said something about having a good time reminiscing while reading her past testimonials from Friendster so I thought maybe I should just log in to see what people wrote about me back then..
I was pretty surprise at what I read though... back in my highscool to college days, nearly everyone included the words "intelligent/smart/clever" or thanked me for helping them in various subjects. I never did hear those words again after leaving Taylor's. No longer am I needed for help in anything relating to academics.. Other than English, I lost confidence in every other subject available.
Then I wonder.. would things had been different if I stayed here to study instead? Friends who asked me for help back then have completed their studies here (mostly with honours) and are happily working. Here I am just barely able to graduate and struggling to find a job.
Ahh... life is just full of "what ifs" right? =)
Yeah, reading those testimonials gave me a hint of regret but I had a good time reading the them. Those funny stuff people say about me and memories of those times spent together was truely worth logging in again. To those who haven't been logging in to friendster, go ahead and spend a few minutes reading your past testimonials... you will definitely end the day smiling (or crying because you miss those times).
PS: 1 thing that I still hear often is the gay comments and the very-talkative-especially-when-the-topic-is-girls... hmmm

4 minute - I my me mine
I'm supposed to have a lot of things to blog about... graduation.. world cup finals... sucky movies (predators and frozen) and some other stuff.. then again i'm just too lazy.
To summarize, the team I predicted to win the world cup won it. Nuff said bout football. Graduation.. like FINALLY! Lazy to post pictures now cz I dont have it on this lappy.. maybe some other day. Movies? DONT watch predators and frozen in the cinema.. totally wasted my money..
Gonna catch Inception by Christopher Nolan tomorrow, the GENIUS that gave us Dark Knight and Memento (those who haven't watched Memento please do, it's a very good movie. A bit on the psychological side but its good). I hope it's as good as his past movie, movies have been terribly disappointing nowadays.
Gonna leave you with a pic of my new obsession.. The cute Kwon So Hyun from 4minute =)

penalties...
Ahhhhh...... I just finished watching Ghana vs Uruguay and I have to say those final seconds of extra-time has to be the most dramatic I've ever seen since I started watching football. Uruguay wont it on penalties but if it wasn't because of Suarez turning into a volleyball player to save his team and Gyan missing the subsequent penalty, Ghana would have deservingly went through.
The game was great, both team had their spells on top and created chances but you have to give credit to Ghana. Went out there as the lowest ranked team left in the tournament but played with so much spirit and determination. The just took over towards the end of the game, their lack of technical ability was obvious but unlike England players, they made up with hard work.
It's just sad that they had to lose on penalties.. Sure they took BAD penalties.. (the penalties was so bad, even I could have saved them), but it's just a cruel way to go out especially after playing a great tournament.
Then there's Luis Suarez incredible save during the final seconds of extra time. Credit him or hate him? If he didn't used BOTH of his hands to do a volleyball block, Ghana would have scored the winning goal. So in exchange of getting sent off, he kept his team in the tournament. Luck played apart because Asamoah Gyan whom already dispatched 2 penalties with relative ease in this tournament crashed his spot-kick towards the crossbar.
IF the penalty had went in, Suarez would probably have nightmares for months to come but instead, Gyan will now be the one having nightmares. Just shows how every second can change the outcome of a person's live in a match. It was one of those "Write the future" moments that Nike was trying to use as an advertisement.
Really wanted Ghana to go all the way and win this thing. Would have been a VERY emotional finals. Guess my dream along with the dreams of all Africa just burned into ashes tonight. Time to just enjoy the rest of the tournament, the quarter-finals have been very exciting so far. Germany vs Argentina will be a very good game if Germany scores first. I'm tipping Argentina to go through though, so far my guesses are all pretty accurate and I hope it continues to be. Would love to see Spain vs Argentina in the semis.
