My Top Five Youtube Channels
Posted on: July 31, 2010
Hello readers! I wanted to share my favorite youtube channels.
I am addicted to youtube! I love to browse different channels in my free time, and once in a while, I come across a channel that special. These youtubers continue to amaze me, and I make me yen for their videos in my subscription section. So here goes…
1.) YT Username: MelinaPendulum
I absolutely love this girl. Melina is an incredibly bright, insightful vlogger. Her delivery is relaxed, yet sensible enough without sounding pretentious. I first came across her video where she was critical of the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer. I was intrigued by Melina’s critical eye; her understanding of literature is beyond her young age.
2.) YT Username: TheYoungTurks
TYT Nation is too strong! haha (viewers would understand this Cenk quote). TYT is a political talk show that covers politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture. I came across this channel during the 2008 presidential election, and I have been addicted ever since. The main host, Cenk Uygur, is sharp in his political commentary, yet highly amusing during his pop culture third hour with co-host Ana Kasparian. Should you subscribe to them? Of Cooooouurse!
3.) YT Username: simonandmartina
Simon and Martina are a young Canadian married couple teaching English in Bucheon, South Korea. I have never been to Korea, so I checked on youtube to see what life was like in my ancestor’s homeland. This is when I found Simon and Martina’s channel! They show what everyday life is like when living in Korea. These two are so fun and cute ♥
4.) YT Username: spillcom
I watch a lot of movie review on youtube, and out of all those youtubers who review films, spillcom is the best! Spill’s reviews are high-quality animated videos with five regular cast. Watching their videos, you can tell that these five are smart movie critics who know their stuff, but what makes them great is their laid-back personalities. They have a hilariously unique rating system, and their playful banter with each other makes you feel like they are your friends hanging out on a Saturday night.
5.) YT Username: babiixj
There are plenty of great undiscovered musicians out there, so I will put a spotlight on one channel that deserves more subscribers. Although babiixj is not the best vocal on youtube, she has an adorable voice and she even rewrites korean songs into english!
Share some of your favorite youtubers!
Summer Bliss~

This is the my top 10 favorite music in a weekly basis
It’s mostly kpop (Korean music) because that is what I like, but I do have other music as well~!
I probably listen to 2 hours of music a day (driving, exercising, etc.) and my music bipolar-ness changes almost every day!
…so this playlist will probably be completely different next week!
{this is based on what I like at the moment. Not necessarily new music}
{to listen, pause my blog playlist on the right sidebar}
1.) C.N Blue – I’m A Loner
2.) Jung Yong Hwa – Because I’m Stupid
3.) FT Island – Don’t Love
4.) SNSD – Oh
5.) U-Kiss – Without You
6.) December – 돌아올 순 없나요 (ver. 2)
7.) U-Kiss – Round and Round
8.) Hyunah – Change
9.) Rainbow – Gossip Girl
10.) December – 사랑아 사랑아

Comments:
As you can see, I am currently addicted to Jung Yong Hwa (lead singer of C.N Blue, and Shin Woo in You’re Beautiful). He is good looking, but it is his talent that caught my attention. Seeing him in acoustics in variety shows made me realize what an amazing voice he really has! I also love his english accent~ I can’t believe how well he speaks english for someone born and raised in Korea! For some reason he has that Korean-American aura about him (which I love–almost all my favorites in idol groups are the Americans!)
I know the F.T Island song is old, but I only recently heard it…and I love it~!
SNSD‘s Oh! I always don’t like SNSD’s songs at first, but I find myself getting addicted to it soon after. I went through it with Gee, then Genie, and now Oh. SNSD makes fun and cute songs that get me to replay their songs over and over. Genie is my favorite song from them, but Oh is definitely close to being one of my favorites! I love the dance, especially in the chorus. My favorite–Tiffany–is fab as always~
I don’t know anything about U-Kiss, but loving their songs!
December! OMG! Currently being one of my favorite groups. They are a ballad duo (and NOT an idol group if some of you are wondering). They make great ballad songs, and their vocals are amazing!
Hyunah‘s Change is a great dance song that makes you want to give someone a lap dance (haha). Rainbow‘s Gossip Girl is cute and fun to listen too.

Hope you like my playlist!
Check back every week for another list of my fav songs.
What is on your playlist?
I recently did a post on my Top 5 Favorite FEMALE Models, so I decided to make a post about my Top 5 Favorite MALE models!
*whoot whoot*
1.) BOYD HOLBROOK. I first found out about Boyd when I was going through my Harry Potter fandom phase. A lot of people made icons of him because he resembled the actor Tom Felton (playing Draco Malfoy)! Every since, I fell in imaginary love~ He is gorgeous and unique. He is one of the top and well-known male models in the industry, appearing in Gucci, Hugo Boss, and Calvin Klein. Boyd was chosen as one of Dior Homme’s most celebrated male models!
2.) LEE SOO HYUK. I recently made a post featuring this beautiful Korean male model! I loved SooHyuk Oppa since he featured in this Corpse Bride inspired photoshoot with his famous girlfriend, Kim Min Hee. He is one of the most famous male models in South Korea, and he is friends with top kpop idols like G-Dragon from Big Bang. I love his unique and melancholy face. He has a sad feminine face; it makes me go “awwwwww“!~
3.) LEE JUN KI. Okay…everyone knows him as a famous actor and singer NOW, but what you might not know is that he started off as a model. Everyone knows I loved him since the movie King and the Clown!~ He has a feminine face with a masculine personality (my favorite combo! LOL). I love him, and he is my husband in my mind 
4.) ASH STYMEST. You can see that I have a thing for skinny pretty models! hehe. Tattoos are a total turnoff for me, but the ones on Ash work! I don’t find him attractive or my ideal type at all, but I love his pictures. Ash is a young British model who is becoming quite popular in the fashion circles. In almost every top fashion list, Stymest has a bad boy charm that I find cute
5.) KIM HYUN JOONG. Okay…he is not a model, but actually a singer/actor…I don’t follow male models as much as female ones, so I can’t think of anyone else. I’ve been browsing around to see if I would like any, but a lot of male models are…BLAH. They are so boring and typical; they all pretty much have the same look. SO, I decided to just post Hyun Joong here! YAY! He is so gorgeous that he can pull off being a model too!~!
So that is my Top 5 Favorite MALE Model list. Who is on your list?
Love unique and hip Korean tees?
Then funkyktown is the perfect online store for you!
I was first attracted to this website because a friend had posted up a “Call Me Oppa” tshirt on her blog! I laughed until tears came out. For all those who don’t know, “oppa” is a term used by korean girls towards any older male. It is used in the context of this shirt in an aegyo (meaning acting cute) setting.
Every since then, I loved funkyktown! They have the cutest and most awesome t-shirts that all Koreans (or those who love Korean culture!) will be rolling on the floor laughing!
