So this is one of my top 5 karaoke songs ever, that’s what makes this hilarious and disturbing.
This korean boy is not in a sexy Santa outfit like Mariah (thank god). But hey, he’s got that awesome accent. It’s worth a watch to hear about “magic laindeer”.

There was a week or two where I didn’t actually karaoke. That time is over. I’ve been going quite a lot lately.

If you’re wondering whatever happened to Steve Perry, he had a falling out with Journey and stated in 2005 that he would never sing with them again. Which is his loss and Arnel Pineda’s gain.

I’m glad my parents immigrated to the US because if I were a mainlander, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy singing all sorts of lewdness. No 50 Cent, Yin Yang Twins, or Samantha Fox for me. According to a recent article,

It’s no secret that Hello Kitty has a cult-like following amongst the fairer sex. I should know, since I was that annoying girl in class who had to have everything Kitty: sticker albums, calculator, retractable pencil cases, colored pencil lead, multi-colored pens, an extensive eraser collection, a sleeping bag, suitcase… you name it, I had [...]
