Happy new year, everyone! I pray that your 2011 is one full of:

+ happiness - that your days will be brightened by a smile
+ success - that you will earn it in everything you do
+ discovery - find something new and worthwhile
+ peace - with others, and with yourself
+ commitment - something that will stick with you for the rest of your life
+ hope - to keep your motivation going in even the darkest of times
+ love - from your family, friends and even random strangers, and that you will have it to love in return

Take care, and God bless.

While I'm at it, I'll throw in my happy birthdays to the two celebrities I know born on January 1: Domoto Koichi and Lee Sungmin!

Admittedly, I don't know much about Koichi beyond the fact that he's in KinKi, can sing well, does ENDLESS SHOCK (and that really cool taiko sequence!) and that neivaxx is a huge fan XD But having your birthday celebrated at Countdown every year must be exciting :D To Koichi, who is still not as known to me, perhaps I'll take the chance to learn more about you this year - I hope that this year is full of successes for you!

Whether Sungmin is being cute or being fierce, he does it well; I love him both ways. He has so many talents - acting, singing, playing instruments, dancing, martial arts - and yet he is so incredibly humble about it all. To Sungmin, who seemed to go through a lot with his image this past year: I'll be happy and love you no matter how you are, so don't be too hard on yourself! You look the best when you smile, and I hope you know that. I'm so glad that last year I took a chance and got to know Super Junior, because it is people like you who continue to inspire me. :)

A post about Kouhaku, Countdown and the Gayo Daejuns will come soon when I actually watch the first two and more of the others, but since it's Sungmin's birthday (even though I'm late on his side) I just have to say that he was super fierce on MBC and I loved every second of it. I don't know how he does it, but I personally think his image gap is brilliant.

We have the same point of view on him.
I really do think he should let himself going and praise his works.
I didn't really notice him at first - Donghae, Siwon and Eunhyuk are surely more eye-catchy - but slowly he took the first place, somehow. I also love his solos - whenever they're from his old radio program or tv exhibitions. He's so amazing in so many different ways , I do wish people would love him more and more. He is, to me, the most talented - talking from a general point of view, of course. He can dance / sing / acting ... And the cool thing is he's good in all of it. He's not amazing in one thing and then mediocre in all the others - NO WAY! He's brilliant!
As always I'm talking lots ;P
And God bless you and your family too throughout 2011 ♥

His many skills are really awesome, and I feel like one of the reasons he doesn't realize how good he is is that he's not the BEST in the group at any one thing. The thing is, like you said, he's really good at ALL of it, and that's something that almost no one else in the group can claim.
In the end, Sungmin just needs more confidence in himself - I hope he finds it this year. He sure deserves it!

No worries, I looooooooove talk! :D
Thank you :)

Happy New Year, Nessa! :D

Admittedly, I don't know much about Koichi beyond the fact that he's in KinKi, can sing well, does ENDLESS SHOCK (and that really cool taiko sequence!) and that [info]neivaxx is a huge fan XD
Hahahahaha! Of course. xD

Go watch this year's countdown! It was great! Go's hair is thankfully not blonde anymore, and you've probably already heard about the lulz that was Kanjani8's costumes. 8D

LOL caught my shout-out, I see. XD

OH MY GOSH I DID SEE. Eito were so cute and lulzy and Tainocchi were back in action, it was fantastic :D

Happy new year! I send all your good wishes back your way. :D

re: loving Sungmin no matter what he's like: ME TOO.

Aw, thanks :)

Boy needs more love, but more importantly, more confidence in himself. Then he'll be the person he wants to be.

Happy 2011 bb, same wishes to you♥
I think Koichi has everyone beat, he enjoys a nice smooch from Nagase & flowers from Tsuyoshi to start off the year usually XD

Thank you! :)
Awesome birthday presents, indeed. I was wondering when they were gonna give their birthday wishes this year since KinKi was hosting, and then there was just that small 'happy birthday' at the end or something (unless I missed an earlier one). Ah well XD
