high schooler!jaemin

my pRECIOUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSS

im sososo excited to write this because i loVE NANA sosososo much,, i miss him terribly but i hope that if and when he returns he is super happy and healthy so he can carry on making m e m o r i e s. sm need to update us more on him :((

sOO0o0oO0O0o0oooo0OOOO0o

ok so ma boi na jaemin

is literally loved by everyone in that school

and they all know him as the Smiley Kid™

like they may not even be in a class with him

mAY NOT even be in his year

but they have seen him around school

and i GUARANTEE he was smiling so everyone just knows who he is

they also know him bc he once started this petition

initially, the school didnt have a badminton club

and nana was just like ???/ badminton is love what the heck????

so he b e g g e d the sports teacher to start a club

and the teacher loves nana bc he’s always so active and supportive and just amaZING in their class,,,,, so they give him a chance

but they cant just start a club outta nowhere yknow?

so they’re like, if you get enough people to support you then i’ll talk to the head teacher and see what we can do ok?

so thIS BOI RAN OUT and started just asking literally e v e r y o n e in the school to sign this paper so the club would happen

and like who can say no to his smile??? it literally makes my heart weAK

the dreamies were the first to sign obviously

even donghyuck

but he only done it after nana said he’d post the old baby photos of hyuck everywhere aha love this boy

those baby photos??? he got them from hyuck’s mum lmao

yeah hes the kinda kid to talk with the other dreamies’ parents - mainly the mums because hes just such ??? a darling? ???

obviously he got enough signatures and he did not stop smiling for like a week bc badminton club!!!!! is finally a thing!!!!

he and mark are always the first to turn up and honestly some ppl just go to watch the two of them have a match

when hes not sparring w/ mark hes super kind and helps out others that are playing but struggling

which just makes everyone love him even more

he and jeno always get lockers full of confessions

and hes such a cutie he has the notes all saved in a shoe box under his bed

i say “a shoe box” but like he has so many notes there are like 20 boxes lmao rip

and whenever he gets chocolates or smth he always shares them with the dreamies

he also tries to help the others out whenever he can

like,, running lines with jeno for his auditions,,,,, helping out jisung and chenle with their homework etc.

he also encouraged mark the first time he wrote a poem to get it published in the school paper,, mark was heckin’ nervous so nana suggested sending it in anonymously, and mark just continued with it

also!!!!! this boy!!! i know i said renjun has like the bEST food in his lunch boxes, but jaemin is a close second

he always packs fruit with him and like its so ?? cute???

he spends the previous night chopping up the fruit - apples, bananas, mangoes, pomegranates, grapes, oranges, you name it - and then puts it in the fridge so it’s all fresh for lunch tomorrow.

uses a separate container for it and theres just s o  m u c h fruit

he brings in 7 forks as well because he kNOWS !!!!1 the others are gonna take some from him

alsooo he is The Hoverboard Master™

lowkey gets frustrated when jisung challenges him

but is highkey supeeerrrr !! happy!!! when he beats jisung

insert the dreamies just disappointingly head shaking as jisung fake cries

“youre seriously not gonna let the kid win??” - mark

“even im not that cruel” - hyuck

but nana #dontgiveafuck bc he just won hAH TAKE THAT @JISUNG [had to make sure i didnt tag a blog there lmao rip]

mm so yall prolly met bc of a mutual dislike for sociology

ok so this part may be rubbish bc i know nothing abt sociology lmao so idk bare with me

yall were in the same class and the teacher set a partner project for the last term which she would test you on

1) ew partner projects #amirite 2) ew sociology #amiriteagain

cliche move: yall got paired up together

the project was basically one where you guys could freely talk about any topic relating to modern day society

you guys had to prepare a powerpoint expressing contrasting views to the topic and then also include your own

didnt seem hard enough, but since you were being graded on this you had to put in 110% effort overachievers ayyyy

so yall got to work, tryna think of what topic you could write about

and after much debate and thinking you both eventually agreed on writing about how social media portray young men

first yall were gonna do women but felt that others may do that,,,, and also that the expectations men had werent spoken of as much so this would be interesting

in lesson you made a quick plan about how you were gonna go about this

decided that it’d be best if you both worked on the powerpoint together, but done research separately so you could just merge the two when making the powerpoint. like, nana would find bad views and you would find good ones.

so you went your separate ways after that lesson and met up the next day

yall chilled out in the library after school and started your individual researching

and after like the first hour the cuTIE asks if youre hungry and youre like yeah a lil’ bit, so you guys pack up your stuff and head down the street to the cafe and eat a bit there

he pays even tho you had previously agreed to split it :(((

and youre just like “hey we should just base our project on you-”

jaemin: “a nice young man that pays the bills?”

you: “a lying young man who said we’d split but stole the bill before i could do anything. im writing bad things about you now”

jaemin: “YOURE BEING BIASED, THATS UNFAIR–”

you: “idc :))))”

yall were just kidding obvs

after eating you guys head back to the cafe for like another hour of researching

and you decided that tomorrow you’d make a start on the powerpoint

so yall say bye, meet up tomorrow after school bc theres no sociology lesson, and do the same thing as yesterday

including the cafe dateeeee ;))))) 

you make a start on the powerpoint and like hes such a perfectionist

like “no, no, no y/n move the title a bit to the right. no no ! your other right,,,, aaa no youve moved it too much !!!!”

“um,,,,, im not really feeling this navy blue, use that green instead,,, actuallyyyyy, what about that purple over there????”

after he starts shouting out hex codes to use you give up and just let him take the mouse

he ends up keeping the initial navy blue lmao

so after that hectic day and jaemin’s complaining youve managed to do just. your. first. slide.

but it has a super c00l background and animations so yeah very productive !!!

this basically continues for the next 3 weeks, with you guys presenting in the 4th week.

when it comes to the presentation day yall were vvvv nervous going up bc you get graded on how you present it as well, not just the info :’))))

but the whole thing runs super smoothly bc na jaemin flashed thAT SMILE @ YOU AND ALL YOUR WORRIES DISAPPEARED BEFORE YOU GUYS EVEN INTRODUCED THE TOPIC

the whole thing went really well, you guys took turn answering questions your peers and the teacher threw at you and when yall were done he sMILED AGAIN !!!!! and like yall felt super confident bc that went hecking well

when you got your results back it was an A*/ A+ and nana sent a message to you like “OMGGGGGGG WE DID IT!!! YESSSS!!!! MY AMAZING HARD WORK PAID OFF”

“***ouR AMAZING HARD WORK,,, BUT LIKE IM PRETTY SURE IT WAS MY AMAZING HEX CODES THAT SEALED THE DEAL”

yall decided to celebrate at the cafe that you frequented

the old lady that owned the place knew you guys really well bc of the project

she’d be constantly refuelling you guys so she knew about the project too LMAO

and so when you guys told her that you guys aced the project she was super happy too and she was like “your food is on the house ily !!!!”

so like whoop whoop !! free food !

and you guys kept up that tradition during the summer holidays, meeting up at the cafe

and like the employees there knew you both so well

they started a bet like “how long until they walk in here holding hands one day and start dating???”

jaemin accidentally calls you sweetie or smth and you both just hear the old lady scream “yeSSSS!!! I WON!!!!! PAY UP WORKERSsss!!!! FREE FOOD FOR YOU, JAEMIN + Y/N!!!”

yall were confused as heck buT FREE FOOD !!!

i aint even surprised this was my longest one i love na jaemin

[kaiark-blog]

why does kaia have so many instagram likes and followers?

answering this one ooc because idk if certain things were made clear enough! under the cut son.

so basically, from kaia’s background she is the daughter of the rookies verse version of calvin harris and a successful talent scout/agent from astralwerks records! now i know everyone may not know who calvin harris is so i’ll just kind of sum him up in a few bullets

record producer/singer/songwriter/dj

his net worth as a person is $7 million and he brings in $66 million+ a year easy

frequent worldwide chart topper but particularly has success across europe

has 4 studio albums, 31 music videos, 3 eps, 24 singles. 23 remixes. 12 promotional singles and 1 mix album

has endorsed for apple, coca cola, kia motors, pepsi, sol republic and emporio armani

owner of fly eye records and partners with sony/atv music publishing and also is head of artists at deconstruction records (he also is co-owner of jay-z’s music streaming service tidal)

a philanthropist and as conducted and played concerts and charity events for various causes (not listing bc triggers)

has worked with EVERYONE ( mary j. blige, big sean, florence and the machine, cheryl cole, ne-yo, rihanna, alesso, rita ora, john newman, ellie goulding, dillon francis, lmfao, kylie minogue, tiesto, kelis and the list goes on)

has been nominated for 48 awards across the world and has won a total of 24 with awards including AMA’s favorite edm artist 2 years in a row, Billboards top dance/electronic artist, a grammy for Best Short Form Music Video, iHeartRadio’s Dance Song and Dance Artist of the Year, MTV Europe’s Best Electronic Act and so on

has topped Forbe’s list of highest-paid DJ’s for three years in a row and has been labeled one of Britain’s most influential people

i mean i could keep going tbqh but i mean just look the man up and it just comes rolling in tbqh. and astralwerks records is notable for it’s contribution to the edm scene as it is almost exclusively edm-based artists but there’s variety with the addition of artists like halsey and sia to the artist pool.

SO I’M SAYING ALL OF THIS TO SAY: her parents (mainly her dad) is a pretty big deal. and we allllllll know that children of celebrities are just as much in the public eye as their parents are.

i’ve mentioned in her bio that kaia has had honorable mentions from her father in magazines because she is also pursuing the same field as him and she has had a little mention when he did an interview for rolling stone. now tying all of this information in with the strong social media presence she has, i estimated that her having a few hundred thousand of followers/likes/etc. would be rather feasible if not humble considering that her father is pushing 8m followers himself.

i am aware that the fame is in fact her parents and not hers.

but with examples such as the children of kimora lee simmons (the creator the long dead fashion line baby phat) still racking in at 400k instagram followers following their mother’s fall from fame and (everybody lets say it together: THE KARDASHIANS), i just find it hard to believe that kaia would also not have amassed a following of similar proportions.

this is also taking into account her soundcloud which she is active on, her active promotions as a dj in korea not only at noise basement but the festivals she plays over the summer and of her own trendy ways whether it’s fashion or makeup. tbh i felt that i undershot by quite a bit if i’m to be completely honest.

i didn’t just throw all of the followers/likes there without reason!

주목해야할 마이너리거

New Post has been published on http://kpopcommunityblog.com/%ec%a3%bc%eb%aa%a9%ed%95%b4%ec%95%bc%ed%95%a0-%eb%a7%88%ec%9d%b4%eb%84%88%eb%a6%ac%ea%b1%b0/

주목해야할 마이너리거

//

  Some tidbits from around the minors: 마이너리그에 대한 간단한얘기:

  I previously wrote about Carlos Gomez of the Mets. 나는 예전에 메츠의 Carlos Gomez에 대해 썼다 The guy is currently in Triple-A New Orleans, batting .419 with six doubles, two triples and six steals. 그는 현재 AAA New Orleans에있다 .419타율에 6개의 2루타,2개의 3루타와 6개의 도루를 기록중이다 His K/BB ratio is a tolerable 3/6, and, I’d probably say he has Carl Crawford potential. 그의 삼진/볼넷 비율이  꽤 좋은 3/6이고 나는 아마 그가 칼 크로포드가 될 포텐셜을 지니고 있다고 얘기했다 He isn’t quite as fast as Crawford, but he could steal 40-50 bags if it all comes together, 그는 크로포드처럼 꽤 빠르지 않지만 그는 맘만 먹으면 40-50개의 도루도 가능할것이다 and the guy has more power potential than the Devil Rays star. Keep watching him. 그리고 그는 크로포드보다 많은 파워를 가지고 있다.그를 지켜보아라

(스텟만 봐선 레이예스삘이 나는데…ㅡㅡ;;)

  I’m not a huge fan of Devern Hansack (29-year-old rookies aren’t my “cuppa”), 나는 Devern Hansack의 팬이 아니다 (29살의 루키는 내스타일이 아니다) but he has solid stuff and is 1-0 with a 0.84 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP at Triple-A Pawtucket. 그러나 그는 솔리드한 스터프와 AAA Pawtucket에서 1승 무패 0.84의 방어율과 휩을 기록중이다 When you whiff 20 in 10 2/3 innings, you get my attention, my friend! He could be up as soon as the Red Sox need another arm. 10.2이닝동안 20개의 삼진을 잡았을때 나의 주목을 끌었다! 그는 조만간 보스턴의 또다른 무기

가 될것이다

(나이가 내보다 많네…ㅡㅡ;;)

  Yovani Gallardo of the Brewers is dealing in the Pacific Coast League with a 3.27 ERA, a 19/3 K/BB ratio and a 1.18 WHIP in 11 innings. 브루어스의 Yovani Gallardo는 Pacific Coast League에서 11이닝동안 3.27의 방어율과 1.18의 휩,19/3의 삼진/볼넷의 비율을 기록중이다 With his combination of stuff, command and guts, he could be huge really soon. 커맨드+베짱+스터프의 콤비네이션이면 그는 곧 정말 거물이 될것이다

(밀워키 팜은 정말 탄탄하다..윅스-하디-빌홀-필더-코리하트-쉬츠…ㄷㄷㄷ)

  Giants shorty right-hander Tim Lincecum is doing even better than Gallardo, with 12 shutout innings, a 17/5 K/BB ratio and a 0.92 WHIP with Triple-A Fresno. 샌프의 우완 팀 린스컴은 AAA Freson에서 0.92의휩과 17/5의 비율에다 12이닝 셧아웃으로 Gallardo보다 더잘하고 있다 If you can do that in one of PCL’s California ballparks, you can do it in San Francisco. 모르겠습니다(샌프에있다면 바로 PCL파크에 간다는 뜻인가?)

(사진이 없어서 뽀샵으로 작업을…^^)

  Dewon Day, remember the name. He’s at Double-A Birmingham in the Southern League. Dewon Day라는 이름을 기억해라 그는 Southern League에 AA Birmingham에 소속중이다 A 6-foot-4 righty reliever, he has 16 whiffs in 5 1/3 innings. That’s not a typo. 6-4의 우완 릴리프인 그는 5.1이닝동안 16개의 삼진을 기록중이다 오타가 아니다(전부 삼진??) Last season, he had 63 whiffs in 47 2/3 innings. He has a mid-90s fastball and a mid-80s slider. 작년엔 그는 47.2이닝동안 63개를 잡았다(이닝당 2개) 그는 90마일 중반의 직구와 80마일 중반의 슬라이더를 가지고 있다 He has had some control issues in the past, but he is exactly the kind of guy who can come up at midseason and flat own. 그는 작년에 컨트롤에 문제가 있었다,그러나 그는 시즌 중반에 나타난 문제점을 정확하게 고칠수 있는 성격의 소유자이다 Need this year’s Pat Neshek? 올해 Pat Neshek에게 필요한가?

(제2의 젠크스가 탄생할듯…)

  A good spring pushed up the timetable, as I figured Buck would come up in August.

스프링캠프때 좋은 모습이 계획대로라면 난 벅이 8월에 올라올수 있을거라 생각한다 Some say Buck has the potential to develop into a 20-homer guy, and I concur because he has the youth, plate discipline, swing and athleticism to do so. 어떤이는 포텐셜이 터진다면 20홈런정도는 칠것이라 말했다 내 생각도 일치한다 왜냐하면 어리고,선구안,스윙에 대한 연습을 해야��다 He’s a driven player, and at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, he has a big enough frame to add some meat and potatoes and start driving the ball. 그는 노력파다 6-2,205파운드에 그는 약간의 육류와 감자를 먹어서 충분히 좋은 체격을 가지고 있다 The other thing is Buck’s line-drive pop. The man had 39 doubles in 338 at-bats last season (that projects to 69 over a 600 at-bat season). 거기다 중장거리 타자이다.그는 작년에 338타석에 39개의 2루타를 쳤다(600타석이라면 69개이상은 할껄) As a player matures, some of his doubles usually turn into taters. 선수가 물이오르면 보통 거의 2배를 친다 Buck might not develop into a base stealer ? 벅은 도루의 발전가능성은 없는가? la Lawton, but the other pieces are in place, and it’s not as if Buck couldn’t steal 20 bases if he learns good technique. 로튼을 봐라,벅은 좋은 테크닉을 익힌다면 도루 20개는 할수 없지는 않을것이다(20개는 가능할껄) He has the speed to be an asset once he gets on base. 그가 일단 진루하게 되면 스피드가 있어 도루할수 있을것이다

(오늘 대박났다!!! 캇세이,페이튼이 빠지긴 했지만…기대 되네..)

  A 6-foot-2, 190-pounder, Wright came to my attention the old-fashioned way: 6-2,190파운드의 라이트는 촌스런 패션으로 나의 이목을 끌었다: Evan, one of my deep keeper league mates, grabbed him a few days ago. 에반이라는 나의 친한 팀동료처럼 촌스런 패션을 한 그를 며칠전에 보고 깊은 인상을 받았다 I like Wright (in retrospect) despite his mediocre stuff (he tops out at 90 mph, though his off-speed stuff is good). 나는 (회상해보면) 평범한 스터프를(그의 최고구속은 90마일밖에 안되긴 하지만 오프스피드 제구력은 죽인다) 가진 그를 좋아한다 Wright had a 183/94 ground ball/fly ball ratio in the Florida State League last season, and check out his ability to keep the ball down: 라이트는 작년 Florida State League에서 183/94의 땅볼/플라이볼의 비율을 기록했고 땅볼을 처리할 능력을 주목한다 one homer allowed in his last 133 2/3 minor league innings! 마이너 리그에서 133.2이닝동안 홈런은 1개 허용했다! He mainly works with a two-seamer (a sinking fastball) and his off-speed stuff, hence his ground ball tendencies. 그는 대개 투심(싱킹 패스트볼)과 오프스피드 제구력으로 땅볼이 많이 나온다 It’s going to be a hard slog for Wright to turn into another Jimmy Key, 라이트가 지미키가 되기엔 굉장히 어려운 일이 될것이다 but in AL-only leagues, I’d roll the dice on this guy for my bench, especially with his getting a spot, albeit temporarily, in the Yankee rotation. 그러나 AL인 양키로테이션에서 일시적이나마 특별한 원포인트 역할로 많이 나올거 같다

(17일 클블과의 경기에서 5이닝에서 3점 줬지만 첫승!! 내일은 마쓰자카랑 맞대결)  

  Coming into this season, Pie (pronounced Pee-yay) had a 438/164 K/BB ratio. 올시즌이 까지,피예(파이 아니죠..Pee-yay맞습니다)는 438/164의 삼진과 볼넷비율을 가졌다 That’s why his nine walks and five whiffs spurred me to write about him this week even before his call-up. 난 이번주에 그의 콜업에 관해 쓰고있을때 9개의 볼넷과 5개의 삼진을 기록했다    Pie is a young pup — just 22 years old — and if his plate discipline holds, he could really be special. 피예는 어린 풋내기다–22살–그의 선구안을 끝까지 참으면 그는 정말 특별하게 될것이다 You’d throw out that Brian Jordan comparison and go with Baseball America’s of Carlos Beltran. 모르겠습니다(브라이언조던과 비교를 집어치고 go with Baseball America’s of Carlos Beltran..이게 뭐여?) Pie’s baserunning judgment is awful, but he is a potential 35-steal man and could eventually bat .300-plus with 30 homers. 피예의 베이스러닝의 판단은 대단하다 그러나 그는 35의 도루와 언젠가는 30홈런과 3할타자가 될것이다 In order for these things to happen, Pie mustn’t bulk up too much, and he must continue working the strike zone. 그것이 차례대로 하기위해선 파예는 벌크업 좀 그만하고 스트라잌 공략에대해 공부좀 해야된다 Still, I think it’s safe to assume his potential peak will be a notch or two below Beltran, who was a more polished performer at a younger age. 아직 난 포텐셜이 최고가 되더라도 벨트란의 한,두수아래라고 생각하는게 안전빵이라 생각한다 젊은 나이에 많이 연습해서?? (이줄은 헷갈리네요 반대얘긴지…)

(솔직히 순위 많이 내려 앉았는데…ㅡㅡ;; 컵스 팜은 구즈만을 보면…)

  Rawnsley’s Prep Picks

A couple of weeks ago, I gave a shout-out to ESPN partner Perfect Game and my friend, former Astros front-office guru David Rawnsley. 몇주전에 나는 친구이자 former Astros front-office David Rawnsley랑 얘기할 기회가 있었다 David has seen just about every pro prospect worth a glance over the last few years, and this week, I’d like to present some of his analysis. 데이빗은 미래의 프로스펙터에 관해 지난 몇주동안 돌아본적이 있다고 했다  그리고 이번주 나는 그의 분석을 얘기해주겠다

Josh Smoker, LHP, Calhoun High School (Sugar Valley, Ga.) Comparable to: Cliff Lee

Says Mr. Rawnsley: “Smoker is a strong-armed southpaw who pitches in the low 90s and tops out at 94 mph. 데이빗:스모커는 좌완에 어깨도 좋다 94마일~90마일대 초반을 던진다 His out pitch is a power curveball, and he throws a straight change and a split change. 그는 파워커브를 던진다 그리고 그는 연속으로 체인지업과 스플리터를 번갈아 던진다 He is one of the most polished and most competitive prep pitchers in the country, 그는 진학과 팀을위해 많이 빛을 냈다 and has won numerous national championship games over the past four years pitching for the East Cobb Astros program. East Cobb Astros program를 위해 과거 4년간 수많은 national championship games에서 승리했다 He is committed to Clemson, but is a likely first-round pick.” 그는 클렘슨에 갈 예정이지만 1픽이 될 물건이다” Other scouts have been raving about Smoker’s breaking ball. 다른 스카우트는 브레이킹볼이 죽인단다 Apparently, it is separating him from other prep lefties in what is shaping up to be a superb 2007 draft class. 언뜻보기엔 그는 다른 진학자들과 구분된다 2007년 드랩을 빛나게 할것이 구체화된다 If you like your power southpaws, and you like ’em young, Smoker’s definitely someone to go after. 만약 니가 좌완을 좋아한다면 너는 스모커의 어떤 누구보다 스모커를 좋아할것이다

  (요건 스모커에 대한 다른 사이트의 얘기)

//

One of the top lefthanded pitching prospects in the Class of 2007, Josh Smoker offers exceptional upside on the mound. 2007년 진학자 중에서 최고의 좌완중 하나다 마운드위의 스모커는 최고의 상한가 달리고 있다 His arm works well from a loose and easy delivery that enables him to generate low-90s fastballs and an above-average changeup. 일반적인 90마일 초반 직구와 ��균을 상회하는 체인지업을 사용하는 자유자제의 구속변화가 그의 무기다.  This past season Josh helped Calhoun High reach the second round of the Georgia state playoffs 작년 스모커는 the Georgia state playoffs에서 Calhoun고교를 2라운드에 올려놓는동안 as he racked up 88 strikeouts,a 1.52 ERA and an 8-2 record in 50 innings. 50이닝동안 8승2패 1.52의 방어율에 88개의 삼진을 기록했다 As a sophomore he went 12-0 with an astonishing 0.09 ERA and broke his own school strikeout record with 137 in 75 innings in leading Calhoun to the Georgia Class 2-A State Championship. 2학년때 Georgia Class 2-A State Championship에서 Calhoun를 이끌면서 12승무패를 기록하고 거기에 놀랍게도 75이닝동안 0.09의 방어율과 137개의 삼진으로 학교 기록도 깼다 Josh was named the Co-Player of the Year in the state, sharing the honors with 2004 Aflac All-American Buster Posey. 스모커는 그 주에서 공동으로 올해의선수에 올랐고 2004 Aflac All-American Buster Posey 상도 같이 받았다 In his freshman season Josh proved to everyone that he plays the game at another level as he went 8-4 with a 0.91 ERA and set a then school record 126 strikeouts in 62 innings. 1학년땐 스모커는 8승4패 0.91의 방어율로 다른레벨의 플레이를 한다는걸 모두에게 증명했다 그리고 62이닝동안 126개의 삼진으로 학교기록도 세웠다 When he isn’t on the baseball diamond Josh enjoys racing go-karts and has won two grand national championships. grand national championships에서 2번이나 우승했다 Josh has committed to play for Clemson University. Clemson 대학에 입학할 예정이다
