Taeyeon's Tattoos

Tattoos are an addiction. You get your first, then a second, and then you are finding a reason to get a third and fourth. You will be hard pressed to find someone with just one tattoo. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Taeyeon isn't any different. She uses simple & elegant tattoos to express herself, her character and the phases in her life. To date, she has 5 tattoos we know of.
1) Her first, where she identifies herself with her horoscope, Pisces:

2) "Taeyeon" means "calm" in Korean, the synonym for "serenity" with ty being a font size bigger:

3) "I" for her first solo album/title track:

4) "F", I can only guess that it stands for "Fine". Title track of her "My Voice" album.

5) Pisces, which she apparently really identifies with a lot. After reading this link, it actually does seems like the Taeyeon we know. https://cafeastrology.com/articles/pisceswomanlove.html


6) Purpose, everybody wants to find their purpose in life... 

I would not be surprise if she gets more. Perhaps a musical note on the helix (ear cartilage)? Or a ribcage tattoo like the one that Tiffany gotten? Lower leg/feet? I know that I myself am excited about where my next one's gonna be. It doesn't hurt that much too.
This space will be updated.

Opinion - Taeyeon's new solo track "I"

What did you think of Taeyeon's new solo track "I"? 

Honestly, the song is great! But. There's a but. But, it is repetitive and gets tired after a while. I doubt I will be able to put the track on repeat unlike the rest of Taeyeon's OST tracks like "Can You Hear Me?", "I Love You", "It's Love", "Missing You Like Crazy", or even SNSD's ballads. The most exciting part of the song is the rap. The performance isn't anything to rave about either. She looks lonely and awkward alone on stage, the only performance I watched she looked terrified as well. Unfortunately, I did not manage to finish watching and have no intentions to watch other performances, if I do, it will be just to see her #ootd. 

The first time I heard the song, it was broadcasted on the radio at the Korean restaurant I was eating at. And I thought, "This sounds like Taeyeon's voice. But it sounds like a Japanese song (Jpop vibe)." so I shook it off. Bam! I should have trusted my familiarity with her voice more! In fact, in Hidden Singer 3, I was able to identify her voice accurately in all rounds! For all whom are criticizing the producers for NOT giving her her part in GEE, shouldn't that be even MORE obvious that it was not HER voice??? 

Anyway, "I" is a great refreshing song whose sound has not been attempted by Taeyeon/SNSD before. And needless to say, what a name! This is truly the perfect name for someone who is debuting solo after getting really famous in a group. This is me, this is my music, this is my sound, and this is what I am capable of. Don't see me as SNSD's Taeyeon, I am a solo artist right now, "I" am Taeyeon.

SNSD Current Housemates Stand At...


Who is living together now in the dormitory? 
Taeyeon
Tiffany
Sunny
Hyoyeon

Each having their own room. 

Honestly, after living for so long away from their family, I don't know how the rest coped back at their home. Well, should they want to get back, there's no space for them. But they are all able to afford their own house now, and probably just waiting for marriage (?) :) It is the age.

SNSD Attachments & Dating Rumours

Yoona is attached. 

Sooyoung is attached. 

Tiffany is attached.

Taeyeon is attached. 

Jessica is definitely attached. 

Hyoyeon was attached.

More than half of SNSD has been confirmed to be dating. In addition to that, I am pretty sure 100% of them have had a boyfriend. 

THE WORLD IS OVER. SNSD ERA IS OVER. 

Im kidding. 

Im kidding over that last line.

But yes, with all the new idol groups, SNSD era is over. Let's be realistic about it and support them as a group instead of an idol group. We, the fandoms are also getting older, time to get on with our lives and go out on dates ourselves while supporting them dating.

How To Continue As A Fan Even If News on the GG Girls are No Longer Rampant

To me, as of the fact that we see fewer and fewer appearances of the girls on TV, the only thing that keeps us from wandering far can be
1) their Instagram account - update of their life. Or anything social-media they are using to communicate with us.
2) concerts - but really, how many SONEs actually get the chance. We have to rely on substandard fancams (but not complaining)
3) Past shows / appearances - thanks to the uploaders for these old goodies
4) Fan fictions - for those who have an OTP

I know a dozen of people who while do not hate SNSD, SNSD no longer inspires or excites them. Myself included - Sure, put SNSD in front of me & I will be trying to contain my excitement, but thing is, I no longer scour soshified or snsdkorean or even allkpop for news. Uploaders I subscribed to on youtube are either no longer active, or had their account suspended. And see? A lot of us.... we grew older as the girls did. We started working. We have another half. We are juggling between family, friends, work and enjoyment. Celebrity gossips are now entitled to 5% of our life, compared to 30% when we were heck'bored studying.

Anyhow, to show appreciations to all the authors and the 9 girls, I have put together a list of my favorite pairing (Taeyeon & Jessica -> Taengsic!) fanfics, mostly from Soshified. These are the ones that I found to be really good, that given a chance, I would re-read them over and over. There are just talented writers out there and thank goodness they write Taengsic! HAHA, as dead/overrated as the pairing is... hellooooo there, we're all still here ~~


P.s.  I merely attached those I find good and have read (and still find-able... some are lost, like "I'll Marry You Because They Told Me So" :/ whatever happened?! ). You can click on the author's profile to find more of their content :)

What to Expect In The Next Post

Currently working on a list of Taengsic fanfics available online. Those that impressed me... that's not a small number. I must say, there are plenty of talented authors out there and I am sooo glad they are Taengsic fans. Who cares if they might not get along in real life? Ha!

So, in between doing that and juggling this atop of my busy schedule... Yea... Wait for it! :)
