7 Why is 2NE1 so popular? "Rant on 2NE1"

The question many Kpop fans ask..." Why is 2NE1 so popular?" Popular I think it's find but how they are always thought to be one of the most popular girl group worldwide...I doubt THAT!


The following post was not made to hate on or disrespect  2NE1!! Idk if this considers as a rant

Why is 2ne1 so popular? Do they deserve so much popularity?

Let me start by saying that I like the group. Their songs "Lonely" and "Ugly" are my favorites of all time. But I don't get how the group is so big worldwide! I'm not hating but just confused.

I know that we all have different taste on music. I listen to and like all kinds of music except heavy metal! My throat hurts just listening to them scream like that.

I was aware of 2ne1 since their debut because I'm a huge VIP! Love Big Bang! My first impression of 2ne1 was "WOW! They try to be street!" HAHAHAHA

Their song "Fire" got stuck in my head for a while, it was not bad, also it was catchy. The songs following that is pretty good but still not convincing that they can reach the top.

Later on, I started watching 2NE1 TV and felt in love with the group. Each one of them have a different personality and they have great relationship as a group. In there they dress like normal people and at times their outfits are fashionable maybe for an event or show.

But I only like the group as a group and each one as people but their songs still feeling not good enough. I know Blackjacks will hate on me, but why do you like their songs? Is it because you like them at the start and that's why you like all their songs too? Or because you guys are huge VIPs and you take their whole family in for the love?


Recently I'm disliking Sandara Park's new blonde hair. Her face is so pale that her hair and face color matches so well that it makes her look bad. Also don't like how they make her wear outfits that doesn't fit her at all. The rest of the group wears something that fits their image but not Dara.


They used to give her less parts to sing because she was "not as good" as her other group mates. Maybe they gave her a little more now because Blackjacks keep complaining about it. I used to feel like they use her for the "Image" only.

Now back to their popularity!

One of the many "maybe because" that I thought of was maybe because they are very different than the other girl groups that they stand out more. They are more fierce and daring on their image that people started to give them more attention. Of course, that's one of the reasons they caught my attention.

The two new singles they just released are just meeeh.... I was excited to tell you the truth when I heard about their comeback but it was a HUGE disappointment.  Park Bom looks too dolly and fake. (She's still my favorite of the group) Dara's new hair doesn't fit. No change with Minzy. CL looks great though.

Oh Oh Oh... forgot to say that I LOVE CL's single "The Baddest Female". It was pretty fierce hehe

Now lets go back again..... XD

Their dances on their songs are not good but that's ok! I know they are not dancers but why the hell would they try for sexy on "Falling in Love"?!?!? CL is fine with sexy but not the rest. Park Bom is sexy already with her dress and great legs but those "sexy" moves they make her do just ruins anything sexy about her.

Minzy is a great dancer though. She is a fierce dancer and not sexy one. She fits when she dances to Taeyang's songs. She is more hip pop and not girly. Those blanket dance they did was a torture to the eyes. I kinda felt embarrassed fir her.


The style of the song "Ugly" fits them perfectly. They can also do "Lonely" and "It Hurts". It's ok to be wild and fierce...and adding some rock in their would make the group way better like "Ugly" Also why does people always ask "Why is 2ne1 so ugly?" Telling the truth they are not the best looking girl group out there but there are certainly much prettier than many of you who called them ugly.

After all this, can someone please tell me why they are popular worldwide? I get it maybe in Korea but here in the states they are pretty big too. Good for them but tell me why you like them? Tell me the truth, do you really like their songs that much?



Again, I like the group and this post was not made to hate on them.

0 DIY Jewelry for Mother's Day!

Hi everyone! In this post I want to show you guys how to make your own Mother's Day gift!

I understand that many of us want our lovely mom to have the best since she is always giving us the best! But not many of us can afford to buy gifts so instead of buying a gift, this year you can make your own gift for her. It is not about the money, it is about the time and dedication you spent making this gift!

This tutoria is me showing you guys how to make a lovely pair of earring. I will try to explain as detail as possible but the picture mostly speaks for itself.

So this is the pair of earrings we are making today!  This post is gonna be very long and with many pictures!!!

Here are the materials you will be needing:

 round nose plier and wire cutter

Earring hook 

 Jewelry wire. I'm using 24gauge.

Make sure that it is the same color as your earring hook

Bead or stone of choice.  

For each earring I'm using two small plastic beads and one pink crystal bead.

Wires!

Now let's start with cutting a piece of your wire! 

3-4inches is fine for a small bead.

Also make sure to have a container for your scrap wires

Now most of the pictures below speaks for itself.

I will explain some that may seem a little hard to understand.

Make loop

Wrap three times 

 Cut wire that is sticking out

Make loop, also wrap three times and cut 

First small bead done 

Stick new wire in and do the same from the beginning:  

Make loop wrap three times, cut, add new bead, make loop, wrap three times, and cut

After having the two beads together, we are going to move on to the big bead

For the our big bead, we will make a loop from the top since we are not wrapping 

The loop will look like this 

Add the big bead 

Now we do the loop, (add the the two chained small beads in the loop)

wrap three times and cut 

 YAY! Almost there!

 Now we need our earring hook

 Using our nose plier, make a gap and add our already chained beads in

Close the gap and TAADAA!! 

Try with other kinds of beads and play around with your own designs

Wrap your jewelry in a nice box, add a bow, write a very lovely greeting card along with it! Your mom will love your gift. This earrings are also for sale at my Etsy Shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Limonadas

I really hope this is helpful and if there were some part that you didn't understand please comment below or email me at : jessiblogs@gmail.com

Talk to you guys next time!

2 Borghese Fango Mud Mask Review

I'm back with another mask review. Not a sheet mask this time. I'm running out of my MBD masks and decided not to buy more but to try other masks.

I was watching Bubzbeauty and she was using this Fango mask and I thought "Hey, a mud mask! The last time I tried something similar to this was my Queen Helene mask. Good times!" lol So....I decided to give it a try and went to their site and order it. Since you can use it for your body also, I decided to get the huge jar.

"Yay!" I jump of excitement when it came... <--- little did I know <---- you're know why later
I opened the box and they gave me a small bag of freebies inside.  Woohoo! haha
The freebies contains the following:
-Small tube of Fango mask
-Body Cream
-Lip Gloss
-Fango Body Scrub
-Face Mist

I haven't tried or used any of these yet so I can't really say much about them.

Let's get back to the mask. That night that I got it I tried it. It stung a little but I thought it was okay because I have had other masks that did stung my face a little but it goes away in about a minute or so, but this one did fade only a little. I left it on for about less than 5 minutes and felt my face was feeling weird. I washed it off the way it recommended and F*!!! My face was full of tiny bumps. It's flaky and nasty looking.

Not ever in my life have I had a reaction like this one. My face is pretty tough and trust me, I'm a skincare junkie and I love masks!! Not this one apparently. My put a very very thin layer on my neck and it got tiny bumps too. WTF?! *sigh*

I was excited for nothing! It's been 3 weeks and my face is finally back to normal but during the bumps time, I was pretty down. It affected my mood pretty bad. I was not a bump or two but al around my face. I don't know how the F* my eyelids also got bumps. I did not put any around the eye areas.

But I was pretty sure it was this mask that did it. My face was pretty healthy before I tried this mask and then BAM! Allergic? I think it clogged my pores!  What ever it was I hate it. I didn't even bother contacting the company to return it. I didn't threw it away either. It's very pricey :(

Don't know what to do with it. Want to try it on my body but afraid that it will break my body out too.
If anyone of you guys tried it. Tell me if it broke you out or not.

Here's me in the morning with my eye bags ( tried to cover it but still shows) "happy" that my skin is back to normal. Well, still a little flaky and maybe one or two bumps left.
Yeah you can't tell that Im happy nor that my skin is flaky or bumpy. THE POWER OF PHOTO EDITING!!!!

Oh and I'm growing out my hair. It might take years for it to reach my butt but patience is everything.

0 Natto taste VERY BAD!

I used to watch Japanese cartoons (Anime). I will always see them eating this fermented bean thing called Natto! They will add soy sauce, mustard, and green onions.

I always thought it was sweet because it looks gooey/slimy like honey. BOY was I wrong?! I finally found it on this newly opened supermarket. I was kinda excited. I had to wait till dinner time. It came with tiny package of soy sauce and mustard. I added some green onions.

Time to eat! *takes a bite*.......... $VW%YUHV$# QC(H$W. The family just stared at me for a looong while till I regain my conscious. Oh forgot to mention I bought one for each of my family! lol  Seeing my face they didn't even dare to try theirs.


It's weird tasting. Bitter and..... I don't know! I tasted bitter and I kinda blacked out HAHA I see the people in the anime eating it so happily and tasty. I should have just not buy it and still believe that it taste like honey...


Have anyone of you tried it? Was it good for you guys or bad?

0 The best gift you have gotten in life

I always complain about this or that about my life but now I'm kinda thankful about all this things. Things that had went wrong, I feel thankful for it because I have learnt a lesson about it. 

I still complain but not as much as before though. I hated when things go wrong and I'll feel discourage.

I'm an escaper. I escape from reality a lot of times. I pretend things are fine and blank out my mind to stop thinking about bad things. I realize that it might be a bad thing because if there is a problem and you try to not think about it, it can never be solved.

I've learn how to be positive in many things now. I still get my mind off things but sooner or later I'll have to face reality. One thing I learn on how to deal with a problem is to be positive. Think positive, think on the good side. Like..." oh, this can be a life lesson for me to do better next time"...or ... "life always has its ups and downs, this little thing will pass"

It always help me to calm down and try to deal with the problem. I love how it helps me every time. Life is a gift. The best gift you have ever gotten. Sure that it has some bad times, but always think about the good times. If you didn't have a life, those good times wouldn't ever have existed. 

This new year can be a new start but also can be a year of realization for many. You have lived for so many years now, look back and think about the things that make you never want to forget. Think about also the many craps that you have been through. You lived through all those moments. Bad things will come but it will also pass.

Keep moving forward and live your life. We have received many gifts but life itself is the best gift that you have ever gotten, so enjoy every second of it.

Happy New Year everyone!

0 Thank You 2012! Helloo 2013!

A look-back at 2012!


2012 was messy. I've messed up many times. I made many mistakes. Guess I was still too childish. I mean there's nothing wrong to be a little childish at times but when you are not a teen anymore, you have many responsibilities for you to take care of and for that, you can't act like a child.


I guess mistakes are what helps you to be better person in the future. Sometimes you don't know what's wrong with something until you have committed that mistake.



In 2012 I've known myself better. I've learnt to love myself more. I've gain more confident on things I do. There was this time where my self-esteem went a little too high and it made me started thinking that I'm the smartest person out of all the people that I know.....but that I was too lazy to use all my brain power hahahaha but of course, I realized that it was not true lol

This pictures here is after I decided to cut my hair short. The last time I remembered I had short hair was when I was like 11 or 12 years old. 2012 was crazy! Also, I was pretty into Jay Park at that time and decided to copy that tattoo he has around his neck.

2012 took me back to my childhood and helped me move on and not to be stuck in the past. It was the year where I learnt to be happier and forgive. The year where I decided to make everyone I love smile more.


I'm not perfect nor am I trying to be perfect. I'm just trying to be the best that I can be. There are still many problems yet to be fixed and no way I can fixed every single one at once, but little by little and through dedication, nothing is impossible.

Welcome 2013!!

I welcome 2013 with a warm hug and lots of smile. 2013 will be the year. I've decided to dedicate more on my blog. I've been blogging since 2009 but I wasn't consistent with the posts but many readers still stayed with me. I'm very thankful for all of you guys.


I'm going to be the responsable person that I'm supposed to be. Do the things that I supposed to do and stay away from the evil muahahaha


I've always believed in the saying "tomorrow will be a better day"! Yes! Everyday can be a new start and every year will be better and more happy things will come. I have a feeling that 2013 is going to be the year of great changes.  Many great things to write about so wait for me this new year. I love you guys very much!

What's better to end a post than a little camwhoring hahaha

Fail on trying to look sexy 

In my pijama pants lol

  I had to post this one because I look so freaking evil but still manage to look good hahahaha

Oh! Also recently, I've discovered that some faces that I make, makes me look like G-Dragon HAHAHAHAHAHA  I need to capture some pictures in the future for you guys to see.  Have a great new year!
