I started out watching the show not expecting much, but simply out of boredom and partly because Eunhyuk is in it. The first few episodes on the trips overseas were fun, MT was funny with Lee Hyori, but what really pulled me into the show was the diving challenge.
Firstly, Eunhyuk is really an ace, but still practises so hard. What's best of him is that he does the best under competition, even when the pressure, burden and expectations of him were so high. But he never disappoints. I guess that's why he is able to come so far and earn a good life for his family now.
The part of the whole diving special that left the deepest impression on me was when they asked him to do a 10m for the first time, and he just goes "yes, I will do it" and walks to the staircase. Even if he is fearful, he pushes himself to do his best, and of course, he does well. At that point, all I felt was of course, he is Eunhyuk oppa. :)
Watched the last episode of the diving challenge with hopes to see Eunhyuk doing well, but the rest of the members all caught my attention. It was an international diving competition and I couldn't imagine how much stress Eunhyuk experienced when all the members go "oh, we have Eunhyuk".
But yeah, he did well. :) Even though he didn't attain the best score for platform and Hyunjoong seemed to have done better, he did consistently well for all three dives. :) and he was signed up for the 3m springboard as well, so he didn't have enough time to practise for all, but the 1.5 spins on the springboard was simply the best! :)
And he couldn't hold his tears in after that spinning dive that earned him a score of more than 30, highest out of all the events for the members. Nobody knows if it was because he was relieved, happy he did well, or actually a bit regretful because he could have done better. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the last one, because they are all so hard on themselves (which totally reminds me of aoquan), but he (they) still get over it and do better the next time.
It was relieving to see him smiling so brightly, doing so well on his platform dives and cheering so loudly for the other members after he ended his springboard event. :D
What was best out of the competition was that everyone did so well, even those who were afraid of water/heights initially. The last dive of Siyoon at 10m was simply a challenge against himself, with the happiness of victory shared by everyone. :) And their coach is so supportive and proud of them! She's so nice. Oh, and the rest of the competitors were happy for them and cheered for them when they did well. I guess that's the attraction of sports. It brings people together. :)
And it brought the members much closer together too!
New found admiration for Eunhyuk oppa and the rest of the Barefoot Friends members.
I guess the show is really about them overcoming challenges together, showing the bare side of themselves, and becoming better as a whole. Really looking forward to the upcoming episodes (and I read somewhere that the next challenge is composing their own songs, which Eunhyuk already had experience. :D )
Their spirit is what I should learn from. Because every individual can do so much more if they try. :)
은혁오빠 짱! 맨발의 친구들 짱! 파이딩!
All love ends up in a goodbye, be it a breakup, divorce, or someone leaving the world first.
All we can keep is the love living in our hearts.
Why do my heart hurts harder when I'm alone?
How can I stop you from entering my thoughts, my dreams, my everything?
Would it have hurt less if you were the one who said goodbye then? Because I'm hurting, every second, from letting you go. But you're much better with her than me. Please, be happy.
Time really flies, uni is starting, but all the freedom makes me feel so lost and thing whole thing so surreal.
Checked into our hall room today, it's quite a pretty place, albeit all the creepy-crawlies and nature. It feels like we're living right next to the forest on the first floor even though we're on the fourth floor.
Had a simple clean up session and made a list of things we need to buy. I can't imagine this is going to be my 'home' for the next year ahead. Haven't even packed/moved a single thing in.
Worried about how everything is going to turn out, but I can only do everything I can and hope for the best.
Be sporty! Don't be afraid! And go all out!
好渴望这美梦永不破碎
就像沙堡不被海水摧毁
但就算没有海浪
美丽的城堡也会被你踏散
在我心上留下 无法抹灭的脚印
因为 无论多久 多忙 多痛
我还在原地踏步 凝望着那沙堆
Monsters 8!! :)
Camp ended with a great D&D cos we were totally high from red bull. All the energy reserved in the first 3 days used up on the fourth night.
Chillax group, but it was fun nonetheless with all the awesome people.
Now sitting at the sky park waiting for mummy to finish watching her concert. 4th time going to sentosa in this week. Sentosa doesn't sound fun anymore. :P
Somehow after camp, I feel like I'm turning even more extrovert than ever. Not that it's a bad thing, but I feel so mindful of changes. Always thinking if I'm doing the right thing, giving off the right impression, treating people nicely, saying the right words. After all that, I sit feeling empty by myself.
I guess.. This is how life goes?
Making yourself busy with everything, feeling the fulfillment, and when you're busy, you wish for some time to rest. But when you're free, you wish to busy yourself with things. Ultimately, what are we living for? Who are we living for?
To some extent, I really dread school starting because I will be busy and unable to do things as and when I like, but I can't go on this 'holiday' forever.
It's time to get back on track, find myself back, and move on with life.
Live. Love. Dream.
Because we're all borned to be loved.
Got out of the house so that I had no internet and will stop reading fan updates... So that I can stop thinking about it. I don't know if I should say I regretted not going, thanks to what the evil maknae said. >(
But SS5 SG ended on such a sad note... Really.. News will definitely get to their ears.
And other than making such a big drama and upsetting the whole fandom, they gave extra troubles to all the boys..
Why did things have to go this way.. There are just people like that huh..
And now, it's going to be all over the press and news.
Hopefully Mi and Henry actually felt better with Hyuk clearing things up. At the very least, these brothers are beside them and will protect them. Really glad and proud of Hyuk for taking up the position as spokesperson when the leader isn't around. He really did a great job.
Hopefully all the drama ends now and all of them can stop minding the matter and be themselves again..

Really feel like going ss5.. But the cost... And this and that, everything is just on my mind.
Promise myself.. I will definitely attend super show one day..
