Music Video Pick - Winter Aesthetics

I like Korean music but I especially like Korean music videos. I can't imagine the amount of creative (and financial) resources required to produce such beautiful pieces. Let me share trios which I find so aesthetically pleasing, simply beautiful in their own rights.

I'll be starting with MVs I personally love because of the winter BGs. I don't know why but I love winter motifs. Excuse the title of the second one. That one's a rebel.

AkMu - Melted
Harsh reality. Diversity. Cold versus warmth.


BTS - Spring Day
Contrasting palettes. Constant moving. Growth. 


HyukOh - Gondry
Vintage filter. Blank transitions. There are two versions and I love them both.


Here's the other version.

Zeppin

There's this favorite Japanese restaurant we seem to go to when we feel like loving ourselves more. I ordered their California maki this time instead of the usual shoyu ramen. I took it home as I wasn't able to eat the whole serving. They also got this super yummy ebi tempura. Their ramen is really delicious. I heard the lady boss one time saying they roast the thinly sliced pork and that gives the ramen extra oishi boost and it's true. The couple who owns the place lived in Japan most of their lives and retired here. Their restaurant is a chill place, very homey. I haven't been there during nights though. It may be a very different place when everybody's drinking beer. I want to go there and try their beer maybe with grilled something on side next time. Can't wait.

Grape Juice

Hey! I've tried grape juice after coffee and no. Just no. Still prefer orange juice. I should probably try something acidic like that of orange some other time. I love grape juice though with lots of ice. It's fake wine. I think I should develop my wine palate though. Sense evolution is key to better life as they say life is to be savored, right? Cheers!

Hello, March! First day of third month of the year and Catholics all over the world starts the Lenten season. Honestly, I'm not a super religious person but I do belong in a family that's strictly so. However, I'm a believer of many things. Try to be kind. Be mindful of the golden rule. Try to shut up when you got nothing good to say. Encourage people. Feed the hungry as you can. Share your blessings. Appreciate efforts and be grateful for all the blessings you and every person around you receive. Anyway, I shall embark on a mission - no soft drinks until Easter. Some may say it's apt time for little sacrifices anyway. Well, regardless of your belief, you can try to challenge yourself to be better today. Or some other day. Whatever works for you, you do it.
