...and the cassie-on-hiatus breaks down.

Yup. I'm on hiatus 'cause i don't get 'much' of them anymore. I was (and still) very busy with school as a teacher and homeroom adviser. All i can do is watch their mv on my phone or listen to their music. other than that I don't do much for them anymore-- until now. I just finished watching some of their video clips on youtube, played their mv's and read some updates about them. finally. I broke down. I just have to see them.

The last time I heard was that SM Town will be going to Los Angeles i think this coming September. The first thing I thought when I heard this was "finally, Changmin can perform on a stage again." (because Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu were already able to sing again, so as for Yunho in the Michael Jackson concert tribute but i haven't heard of Changmin performing on anything) But after awhile, SM town going to L.A gave me a different thought- the timing.

Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu's sub-group (not sure if it's officially known as JYJ or JJY) are going on with their plans of collaborating with American artists reason why they went to L.A before. Collaborating with American artists mean that there is a chance for those 3 to be well-known to Americans. (i know some Americans already know them. but let's face it that not many know or like them) And the next thing I know and realized, SM Town will also be there and since it is SM TOWN it means Super Junior, SNSD, Shinee and more artists from Sment. Can you see where i'm pointing? I will claim that this is just on my perspective; that i'm just being paranoid on this huge 'G A P' between Sment and JYJ but it seemed to me that Sment do not want those three to be very much successful on their plans of moving on apart from their management. If you look at it, on a battle between 3 versus a number of artists who have already had a huge success in Korea and other countries of Asia the former is at disadvantage. I know some will bash me and tell me that the 'three' we are talking about here is not just any other low profile aritst-- that it's JAEJOONG, JUNSU and YOOCHUN that we are talking about. But let's also take a look at a different side of the reality, that though cassiopeias hate SM Entertainment, their artists do SELL. JYJ's plus is just they are having a collaboration with American artists. Other than that, they are 'outnumbered'. Anyhow, the numbers don't decide the winners and this is no real battle anyway. But I'm just really... curious. WHY?

I'm having loads of question right now and I don't know if I will ever have the answers.

to SMent:
-A tour outside Asia for the SM Town is a brilliant idea but why Los Angeles? Why now?
-Can you just let go of Changmin and Yunho? You already have the majority of kpop artists dominating the korean (Asian) music entertainment. You can say that TVXQ as it is now, is not that much anymore. If you' let those two go, maybe, the next step is to start from scratch again. Wont you be ahead of them by that time? Won't you just please let them be together again?

to Changmin and Yunho:
Leader and maknae, you miss them right? Maybe, you're just waiting for your contract on SMent to finish, right? And then after that all five of you can be together again. I cannot assure to myself that you can still be TVXQ at that rate- the name is owned by SMent but you'll still be together, right?

to Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun:
I know you're not being selfish. The decision of filing the lawsuit in the first place was not because of selfish reasons right? You're moving forward even if it's just the three of you but I know you will be waiting for those two, can I assure that? I'm sure that's how it will be...right?

While I was waiting for a conference last Friday, the sister gave me magazines to read. I really don't like reading but I did so as not to get bored while waiting. I read a story about some guy who encountered Mother Teresa and asked her to pray for him. The guy asked Mother Teresa to pray for him to be granted clarity, because the guy knows that the reason why Mother Teresa is the way she is was because she always had clarity in life. And here response?

So with all the questions I have in my head, I will just trust Him. Trust Him that He have better plans for these five guys that I loved so dearly. How odd. I know they (TVXQ) don't know me but I really pray for them because I know when it all comes down to it, that's the best way that I can do for them- rather than buying their albums, franchise, concerts and all. This is the biggest support that I can offer them-- my prayer though at times I am not really sure of what to pray for them.

And I will always keep the faith. If they say that believing in those boys to comeback again is impossible, then I will just keep on believing that God has better plans for those boys, in His time. :)
