It's no secret that I am not the biggest DBSK/TVXQ fan, but I still support them and all of you Cassies. Plus, I'm always happy to help spread the word on projects.
The Project:
Making an international "Always Keep the Faith" video to show our support of TVXQ.
The Guidelines:
1. All videos must be turned in by May 21, 2010 at the latest.
2. ALL videos need to include a flag from the country it's being sent from in the video, whether it's in the background, or being held.
3. Please try to have as many people as possible in the video.
4. Videos should be about 5 seconds long, and all they should say is "Always Keep the Faith." (No other messages, "I love you," "hwaiting," etc...)
5. Make sure it's said in YOUR native language.
Please send all videos to alwayskeepthefaith65@yahoo.com and help spread the word to as many people as possible that we're doing this.
Thanks!

You Did It!
Yesterday was quite possibly one of the longest days of my life. I was so excited for midnight to finally come around, but truthfully I was so sick to my stomach with nerves. Maybe the Taco Bell I ate last night has a contributing factor to that I-really-want-to-puke-endlessly feeling, but I was very worried that despite the efforts to spread the word, it was going to be a huge F-A-I-L moment.
And I probably would've cried if it did fail. Well, not really ... but you get the idea.
This all started Sunday at one in the morning. I was talking to one of the admins at @twelfs when we jokingly suggested making #teukslaugh a trending topic. That's when I thought, "Why not do one for T.O.P?"
I put some feelers out on Twitter to see if anyone would be up for doing it, and all it took was three people to tell me yes. THREE PEOPLE. My mind is so easily swayed when it comes to T.O.P.
So I wrote a post and soon it was being retweeted like crazy. I felt so bad for shoving it down your throats like I did, constantly filling up your home page with my begging and pleading and general obnoxiousness. I felt bad doing it, but because it was such short notice, it had to be done.
I reached out to multiple, influential K-Pop forces. A major, major, MAJOR thank you goes out to @twelfs, @aa_chan, @AsianPopAddict, @Music4urSoul, @JaySkyMsg, @elosoul, @TeamBIGBANG, @alwaystaeyang, @BBVIPForum, @Vip_Access, @icecapades, @fangirltainment, @iBigBang, @projecthottest, and @KromeRadio. Thank you all so much for spreading the word!
I sent an email to a few other sites and sadly received no response. One ignored me while some of them were just too big and probably receive a lot of spam on a daily basis, so it was easily passed over. It's okay, though, enough people retweeted the link and spread the word without their help!
When it started ... I was nervous that it wasn't going to work. Within the first minute over sixty people tweeted. Seriously, I stalked that page hardcore. I became really down, though, when it had been going on for forty-five minutes and the tweets were starting to dwindle in numbers by the minute. I told The K-Pop Junkie that I didn't think it was going to trend.
Not more than ten minutes later, it appeared, in all its glory, second to the bottom of the trending topics list!

I swear, I began smiling and grinning like an idiot. And every time it increased in the ranks, I became even more excited. I wanted to cry from being so happy at pulling this off.
When he reached number four, I almost lost my damn mind.
A lot of people are telling the VIPs congratulations on making #happybdaytop a trending topic, but the truth is that the ELFs, the Hottests, and the Cassies helped out making this successful. And that's so overwhelming to me that different fandoms are coming together to support a K-Pop artist.
You all are amazing and you never cease to amaze me with all of the things that you accomplish for your idols!
Yes, I did suggest we do this, but trending #happybdaytop was something that YOU ALL did. I was just the annoying little gnat that keeps buzzing in your ear, reminding you of it.
So to every single person who retweeted the link, who helped spread the word, who gave me your support, who trended like crazy, who gave up a few hours of sleep to trend like crazy ...
THANK YOU!
Really, I'm going to get all sentimental now ... but I've only been blogging for about a month and a half now. So the support you've all shown me the past few days is amazing and it tugs at my heartstrings. Thank you all for reading and commenting and for talking to me via Twitter. It's been a great month and a half so far, so here's to the next many, many months to come!
I'm so proud of you all!
And, of course ...
Happy birthday, Choi Seung Hyun!

DBSK? Yeeaah, I Don't Think So
I posted this last night at 11:53, asking for the help of the Cassiopeias following me on Twitter.
Plenty of people clicked on the link. A total of seventy-two people, actually. Yet my inbox remained empty, my Blackberry email feeling very lonely while charging throughout the course of the night. How could you do that to my poor BB? She was desperately awaiting some DBSK lovin' to keep safe until I awoke.
I even called you out on it. Repeatedly.
You failed me, Cassiopeia. I kind of don't even want to write about DBSK now (because I'm biased and I tend to hold grudges), but I know that at least one person is working on sending me some things of these boys, so at most I'll make next Friday's "To Get You Through the Weekend" about one of them. That's pretty much it.
And yeah, I could have very well dug up all the juicy details about them myself. But I wanted to know why you love them, changing it up instead of telling you why I love them. Sometimes it's nice to switch things around a bit. Big thanks to Mas, who has been obsessing over these boys properly and digging up some fantastic things for me to drool over.
