hello from the studio!

… i’m afraid it is happening again. only this time… i don’t have an off studio day until sunday!! i’ll have to come up with something… goodness knows what will happen if i skip an entire week. most likely i’ll be fired. this week is particularly insane because we’re trying to finish all the vocals in addition to finishing up the tracks for their final evaluation… then i get a few days off to sit with the songs and mull them over before we make our final changes. ahh!!

but back to the point– ahh!! i’m sorry! again! and this time if i make an apology video it will seem so …. done. *sigh* hopefully i’ll find a moment during the week to put up something fun. thank you all for being so patient and lovely.

oof this feels so bad leaving you with nothing exciting. but i have to go play some sounds on the song i wrote in costa rica (figured i’d make you work for it…).

ok… ummm….

oh i know. i can tell you that i finally lost my 2 toenails.

LOVELY. what am i doing. get out. quick.

!!!!

    Hi Kina…
    Sounds like everything is going well in the studio…that’s great!!

    Now, you really must stop stressing out about us! As you can tell everyone stays perfectly entertained while you are away. There’s nothing wrong with these little updates. We understand that you are a busy girl.

    In other news, my birthday is in 1 month!! 21 years old…Woot Woot!!

    Have fun in the studio this week!!

    <3

  28. 28  g3mini Says:

    @confused newbie: aww… you leave me out. i’d like a boba tea too… take a little road trip to vegas, then we can chit chat… haha

  29. 29  Amanda/BunniChylde Says:

    <3 Kina, we at least won’t fire you if you can’t post this week. But we’ll miss you!!!! I guess we’ll just have to bust out the old videos to tide us over, but I’m so excited about the album you are working on!

  30. 30  confused newbie Says:

    @g3mini:

    what’s a buko pandan boba? is that a fancy name for halo halo?

  31. 31  g3mini Says:

    @Alexpham: well, good night to you, AP! rest well & we will see you later.

  32. 32  confused newbie Says:

    @g3mini:

    no way, i would not leave my halo friend out.

  33. 33  Alexpham Says:

    @confused newbie: o before i go newb we can make it happen just tell me where your from through a youtube message theaznboy44 is my name and watching vids is my game lol ;) well good nite…zzzzzzzz…..zzzzz..zz!

  34. 34  g3mini Says:

    @confused newbie: no, it’s not halo halo. it’s the boba tea flavor i used to get back home. it’s a mix of coconut & pandan extract. you know, i don’t quite know what pandan is… lol. might have something to do with the pandanus leaf?? but i’m only guessing…

  35. 35  confused newbie Says:

    @Alexpham:

    yeah, i know your channel, leaving all those sweet comments on kina’s videos!!…and writing alexpham at the end of the comments sorta gives it away! haha.

  36. 36  confused newbie Says:

    @g3mini:

    wow, that’s a pretty exotic flavour!

  37. 37  g3mini Says:

    @confused newbie: there you go… now that’s more like it. awww….

  38. 38  confused newbie Says:

    well…time to head out!!

  39. 39  g3mini Says:

    @confused newbie: goodnight to you newbie… i should probably head out too… tty all later. rest well…

  40. 40  meeks Says:

    kina has the cutest feet! lol

    from her videos of course!

    but if she lost two of her toenails that means…

    kina has the cutest feet - minus two toenails hehe =)

    lol
    thanks kina for the exciting update!!! that is so exciting!

    does mama g or dr g get to visit you? like “oh look that’s our daughter”???

  41. 41  g3mini Says:

    @confused newbie: love your dream list, btw.

  42. 42  g3mini Says:

    good night, dear people of kination! off to la la land now…. Zzzzzzz…

  43. 43  Yohan Says:

    Wish you speedy healing!

    Everybody’s getting along fine, by the looks of things. The newbz took over the blahg in your absence, haha.

  44. 44  Kyle Says:

    yay for cambridge!

  45. 45  MikeJ Says:

    Kina,

    No worries on the video. You shouldn’t feel pressured/stressed to come out with a new video each week. It’s already pretty cool as it is. Not that I’m complaining about the vids, I think they’re awesome and I look forward to them all the time :) As was mentioned, everyone in the blahg keeps pretty entertained.

    Sorry about the toenails. They’ll eventually grow back (hopefully, sooner rather than later!). Keep up the good work in the studio!

  46. 46  avweije Says:

    @kina: if you leave us a nice pouty face picture we are happy, otherwise we might get really upset and indeed fire you :P

    PS

    I started working on the goldfish song yesterday, still have some problems getting the picking to go fluently, but I’ll keep trying, thanks.

  47. 47  Tanya Says:

    dude, dont even worry about the video ;) just hearing from you is cool, esp with all the studio time you’re getting. hope all is going well (…well minus the toenail thing, that def sucks!) and hope you had a nice holiday back home in MV (despite the rain)

    <3

    @Kina:
    Well, we said it all last time. Everything´s fine.

    @Anyone:
    About “Cambridge”… I´m probably stupid, but I´ve been wondering: where does the name come from?

  49. 49  sabafa Says:

    @confused newbie: Dagnamit, I didn’t find out this was up till like an hour and a quarter later, and there are still posts in their to read = SHEESH - still be in there if you hadn’t left the snitching it post, so thanks for that<3

    Oo record breakings getting tough to pull off eh!

    @ Kina

    Wags finger and says ‘You!’ & “Don’t think you can give us the ‘What’ treatment Missy”

    @all

    ARGH, we woz robbed, or does it still count coz there’s no video up, ie an incomplete new blahg post?

    @G FAMILY

    Verification needed on this issue please!

  50. 50  nimur Says:

    [bookmark]

    i wonder how many more comments therell be when i check back tomorrow night…
    over/under: 115

  51. 51  sabafa Says:

    @confused newbie: I wouldn’t, I keep getting shown her videos to play, but as she hasn’t bothered to refriend this time despite my pushing how good her CD/DVD was to all insundry in my previous accounts! So, although obviously missing said, I’m not touching her stuff at least till friended again and I am so not going to ask, it happens or it doesn’t, so no click money, or monies for anything else till that ever occurs! You guys might have noticed that that is also the case with Mia Antonia Sampaio Rosa (or whatever way it is all spelt, ie it’s been a while) in the last blahg!

  52. 52  sabafa Says:

    @Alexpham: Will you be turning up with twins:))

    Try and get in some extra sleep, just incase I need to virtually borrow some;)

    I clean forgot that the heating guy is due this morning:/

  53. 53  sabafa Says:

    @g3mini: I’m gonna warn him off now;)

    DUDE! Don’t go there, she sounded slighted about the boba and their’s an awful lot of guys that haven’t exited that sand yet:O

    Just pulling your legs u2:))
    but I’m so not going to pull the legs of the sandmen! Ha!

  54. 54  sabafa Says:

    @FinnFan: Hazards guess at the bridge and on the river cam deal!

  55. 55  sabafa Says:

    @kina: Was it the race with your Dad that tipped the nail’s over the toe precipice?

    Plus do you keep getting advertisements for toe nail care around you tube, as mine keeps showing up guitar ones if when one of your lessons videos is uploaded and dating ones otherwise when your other videos are on = so annoying having them, so what ones do you get plagued by?

    @all

    What sort of advertising are you getting in You Tube?

  56. 56  Schryver Says:

    haahah ur hilarious

  57. 57  TimR Says:

    Yikes! Between Misa’s mouth and Kina’s toenails the Grannis girls are falling apart! And we haven’t even heard from Emi in a while! :O

  58. 58  avweije Says:

    Tough business, this music industry stuff huh.

    @kina: forget about us for a week please :)

    random: A few minutes ago i was entering a license code to a computer what is was installing. It’s a win xp, 5*5 characters. Five characters of them were MFYHQ. And i was wondering, why does it seem familiar to me? Then i realized: Message From Your Heart :DD (i’ve downloaded the almost finished version of the video earlier with the filename mfyh_cut.mov or something like that)
    random#2: I found Message from your heart on a Various Artists cd ;)

  60. 60  evann Says:

    @kina

    oh noo its okay!! we still love you and will be sitting here waiting for you, don’t even worry about it.. you sound kinda stressed !! eep! just lay down those phat gangster raps and done even worry about it *EAST SIDEEE* ;)

    Redundant post deleted by author.
    Except the part about “thanks, Misa. ur the best!!”

  63. 63  thuff7 Says:

    @kina

    Thanks for caring so much about us as you always do. The love is felt deeply and is returned multiplied over.

    So keep on rockin’ in the studio, we are all fine, happy and enjoying the fellowship of the Kination!! <3 <3 <3

  64. 64  Misa Says:

    @confused newbie: strawberry mango???? We don’t get such lovely flavor combos out here. QQ

    @kina–I demand toenail pics!

  65. 65  Misa Says:

    @g3mini: All I know is I tried pandan ice cream at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and it tasted a lot like vanilla. :P Very mild vanilla. My favorite was the lychee. mmmMMMMmm.

  66. 66  Misa Says:

    @sabafa: I get ads about kina, music, and how to get a flat stomach in 30 days.

  67. 67  Misa Says:

    @asdf: Wait, MFYH ended up on a Various Artists CD?

  68. 68  Misa Says:

    @anyone who knows anything about wordpress–

    I USED to have numbered comments, now I do not, I don’t know why they went away and I want them back, especially since now the comments are numbering in the hundreds and it gets easy to get lost. Does anyone know where in the template pages that would show up and what the wordpress code is to display the comment number?

    ===UPDATE===

    I did it yaaaaaay! /flail

  69. 69  Misa Says:

    @all—

    I know we’ve gotten good at sustaining conversation here, but I’m going to have to update wordpress at some point, so don’t be surprised if all of a sudden the blog has a “maintenance” splash page on it and you can’t get in for a bit. it probably won’t take more than 15 minutes, but just wanted to warn you so you didn’t get surprised by it (since discussion has been so active).

    Yaaaayyyyy for numbered comments. Misa for president ;)

  72. 72  g3mini Says:

    @sabafa: you go!! lol… thanks!

    @Misa: now i know then… lol. and yes, yes, lychee is yummy! here’s that <a href=”@Various Artists CD.

    @Misa: woohoo… numbered comments. Misa for president?! you got my vote!

    @ALL - good morning from the “left side”!!

  73. 73  g3mini Says:

    let’s try this again… (last comment lost in oblivion). darn tags!

    @Misa: ahh… pandan! now i know… hehe. & yes yes, lychee is yummy…

    that CD that asdf is talking about is called “That’s What I Call Woman”. Kina’s song is on 2nd CD.

    @all - good morning from the “left side”!!

  74. 74  g3mini Says:

    wow… after all that. i’ve failed to say something.

    KINA - we totally understand that you’re busy. you don’t even have to blog at all and we’d still understand. but the fact that you do shows what kind of person you are. too amazing for words! this amount of studio time you have is awesome. and then even when you’re not in the studio, you should rest easy. don’t worry about us, really. and if you’re fired, then think about it, we all are! hahaha…. have fun in the studio & don’t wear yourself out!

  75. 75  confused newbie Says:

    @Misa:

    no strawberry and no mango?? what?? then you’re coming with me! me, ap, g3, kina, misa - anyone else for boba?

  76. 76  maryannee Says:

    Good morning/afternoon :).

    Hey Kina like everyone has been saying, don’t worry about it. And if you think of it, if you’re fired then all of the bloggers in here are fired too…. ok, that can be seen in a good way or a bad way… :S. Anyway, please enjoy your time in the studio!

    @confused newbie: I’m in!

  77. 77  sabafa Says:

    @thuff7:

    I’ve still not slepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz t yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MUWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH=better stop there, might laugh myself to death;))

    Anyway, what this “I saw the 3 posts in the spam queue on the dashboard and figured they were mine, so the trick was to figure out why.” specifically, saw, spam queue, dashboard? I don’t seem to have one of those, but I do have something that keeps mucking about with spellings, that actually makes the wrong/missing/extra, and sometimes it seems to even be all fine until a couple or so text lines later - I’d almost swear that it can happen once the post comment is depressed, but as I only had that editing tool v briefly when I informed Misa of it a while ago, I can do nothing about them, so left to posterity as:/ fail, like our last blahg is likely to stay as being regarding breaking records, though I feel that it was of much better quality than the reigning one = still superlative blahg, so tis 1 2 save bro! 8D

    PS Another weird thing about these altered spaces, characters, words and I think now even some characters that are used in code too are yoinked out, is that I don’t/never put on a spell-checker!

    PPS I’m down to hoping a bath will aid the onset of a good sleep now!

  78. 78  sabafa Says:

    @Misa: Haha, I get the “how to get a flat stomach in 30 days” one too! Also, when I’m playing the videos of some of my channel friends, I get the dating advertisements for their persuasion. Plus, I get destination ones and music ones too = some pop up blocker (on highest block setting too) I’ve got eh!:)) Oh and by the sound of it, the level of program that you’re hooking on to has been plaguing me too, wherever or homebased!

  80. 80  avweije Says:

    @g3mini: good morning (evening) from the left side (of europe) :P

    @Kina: really enjoying your vids, working on goldfish song now, I’ve got it (without the harmonics), but still need to work on getting it clear and fluently. It’s a good one for practicing using more picking fingers, which is what I am working on at the moment, so far so good :) hope your studio work is going well, keep smiling.

    @all:

    :P (just felt like that)

  81. 81  sabafa Says:

    @g3mini: Evening;) We so wouldn’t be fired, music will out, blahg will live on, CD’s will be garage jobbies at worst from when contract allows, but maybe a dif label would pay the contract off for taking Kina on instead, but I <3 the comaraderie aspect of what you said! :)

    @g3mini: Whoops, I just read your comment about us being fired too. So either I copied you or great minds think a like :p.

  84. 84  thuff7 Says:

    Well, not telecommuting today, so in the office and lab. Much piled up over the break and I’m shuffling through the chores/paperwork/research projects. So to spend my time more productively as opposed to the more-leisurely pace at home, I will check in to the kination, but not as often.

    @sabafa:

    Yes, quantity can effect quality and we don’t need mass production. It’s fun to break records, but it’s a wholly American trait to overextend ourselves and spread it too thinly. I think our dear Kina would be better served by not allowing her blog to turn into an IM service. Nevertheless, conversations here are good, or there wouldn’t so many, so onward!

    @Misa:

    The number thingie is awesome. It’s like our miniblog GPS! And please, do your upgrade when it is most convenient for you, and we can all be patient while you nurture your labor of love here taking whatever time you need!

    topic 2 - not meaning to pry or cross any lines, but just would say that master’s sounds like a gr8 idea, and maybe losing your job will ultimately serve a good purpose for you. =D Anyway, I’m sure one and all here wish you nothing but good luck!!

    @newbster and @ap - keep on keepin’ on. :)

    @g3mini:

    Very nicely said. Please tell us about your gravatar. Two young adorable girls. Now, your handle is g3mini - hmmmmm. twins perchance? u?

  89. 89  Glenn Says:

    @Kina

    I think it is great that you are busy and I hope that your worry over us is not a distraction for you. In normal circumstances when one gets busy there are times for delegation of duties so obligations on all fronts can be met. I am not sure if that fits your style, but it is something to think about.

    @confused newbie, @Alexpham & @thuff7

    My word, over the past couple of weeks I have not seen so many comments over so many things in a long while. I don’t think I can catch up on all that has been said. If on average there are 100+ comments a day then the 600 mark will easily be reached, dare I say the 800 mark would be within grasp.

    @Misa

    I just wanted to say thanks for all the work you have done in maintaining the Bla(h)g. You bring a sense of security that things will be done right. I think we all owe you a nice boba tea, Starbucks or cookie of your selection (in fact all three) :-)

  90. 90  avweije Says:

    @Screwy: nice one sarah :) nice voice

    @FinnFan: you made those yourself? wow.. just a hobby or professional in some way?

    To whom it may concern: I just made a video where I’m playing the goldfish song with Kina in the background, not perfect, but since I only started practicing it today, I was quite happy with the result.

    I will add it to my youtube channel and will post it as a reply to the goldfish tutorial.

    PS @ FinnFann: man those are some nice photos! will bookmark that (have already changed my desktop background image 5 times, will leave it to a butterfly for now :P)

  91. 91  emilayyp Says:

    hmm yay!

  92. 92  thuff7 Says:

    @FinnFan:

    I can’t find words that are adequate. You are an incredible naturalist. You’ve covered an amazing variety of animals. Just simply stunning. The hawk-owl, the willow grouse, the shield bug . . . These are better than any field guide I have seen. I hope you are putting together a coffee-table guide of Finland’s wildlife.

    Oh, and that badger looks like he’s a tad miffed!! 8O

  93. 93  thuff7 Says:

    @Glenn:

    Forgive us if our over-enthusiasm is off-putting in any way. We don’t mean any disrespect to the long-time Kina fans. But we have found a wonderful place filled with wonderful people.

    We are hoping those who have been fans for a long time will share some of the experiences of the past 12+ months, as we have lost a chance to live through all those exciting times. :)

  94. 94  TimR Says:

    @Kina:
    I might go through Kina withdrawal. I have this rule that from Thanksgiving night until Christmas night I only let myself listen to Christmas music. I’ve decided to let myself cheat by watching the new blog posts, but it looks like this is the wrong time. If I hadn’t grabbed I Know Who Took the Milk and Cookies (cough - second request- cough) last year I’d be 100% Kina-free, which is just no way to live :( But, as always, we all understand.

    @thuff7: It seems like I had a couple more of my patented Kinagrannis.com memories from a week or so ago but I’ve forgotten. Once I remember them I’ll post.

    @Glenn: Just a note since you may have missed it. Those arrows next to the dates are what generate the cool @ links in the reply box. Another Misa-added feature.

  95. 95  sabafa Says:

    TO ALL

    Re:-

    ” … so hopefully that’s a clinched deal then Misa = spat on hand and holding it out for you to reciprocate<3″

    My last comment (No545) within Kina’s previous blahg has not been reciprocated by Misa, so I apologise to you all now too, I will bow and scrape no more than this, so I withdraw my offer and will write here no more dear friends lest I offend again!

    I <3 those of you who found something worthy in me, and who responded to me without malice, but I charge you all to seek me not, for my responding days have now drawn to a close, and if any of this leaves Kina wanting to withdraw friendship/etc from my You Tube channel, then I say do so, I surrender it freely, for I meant no harm, but have done so and I will risk no more of it from this point on!

    It is not “off-putting”, it fact it is nice to see such enthusiasm.

    No worries about missing the past experiences, I am sure the best is yet to come. :-)

    I don’t know if you have already, but a good starting point is going through the archives from start to finish, which extends long before the Super Bowl contest. That’s what I did around that time, and seeing what Kina was like before then is actually what turned me into a full-fledged fan.

    Most of my memories probably aren’t too exciting in retrospect, haha. The most exciting stuff for me, off the top, is probably from 2 or 3 Stickam shows and I think 2 internet radio shows. By the way, you’ll discover that Kina’s the master of posting on here while being interviewed.

    @TimR:

    Heh, I seem to need to do more catching up that I realize.

  102. 102  confused newbie Says:

    if you saw kina at a boba counter, would you:

    1. fall on your knees and scream ‘OMG, IT’S KINA GRANNIS!’

    2. open your mouth to scream but remain speechless as you tremble with excitement

    3. act cool and pretend that you didn’t know who she is by asking her what flavors are good

    4. introduce yourself from the blah(g) and offer to buy her a drink

    5. ask her to autograph your boba cup

    6. ask her if she’s Marie Digby as a joke

    7. start talking to your friend as though you know David Choi, hoping she might hear you

    8. faint

    9. ask her to take a photo with you and to sing for you

    10. just sit there because you ‘think’ it’s her but you’re not sure so you just STARE

  103. 103  Alexpham Says:

  104. 104  TimR Says:

    @Glenn: Aside from the numbering and the influx of new Kinerds, I don’t know that there’s much else to catch up on.

    pretty dope of you to make time for your fans like this =P! thats a real good down to earth trait, haha. music is awesome and hope to hear more updates from you soon!

  109. 109  FinnFan Says:

    @confused newbie:

    I´d LIKE to think I would be cool about it and introduce myself: “My name is Fan… FinnFan.” But in reality, it would be number 10. That´s happened to me with many people I haven´t met for a while :(

    @kina
    Loosing two toenails means you get a 20% discount on a pedicure? ;) (sorry :) )
    btw: does it hurt? (just think about lost toenails, brrrrr . For me it’s like skratching the blackboard with fingernails ;) ).

  111. 111  FinnFan Says:

    @maryannee:
    I have Canon EOS 40D, and my lenses are 300mm/f2.8 and 70-200mm/f2.8 with stabilizers.

    @avweije:
    I´m selling my photos too, but in reality that´s such a marginal area of photography that very few can make it their main source of income. My main work is research, and nature photography is what I do mainly to remain sane, and only secondly to get money… at least at the moment.

    @confused newbie: haha… 6 sounds funny, but i wouldn’t do that. number 4 sounds more like me.

    @thuff7: my gravatar… yes, g3mini, but not twins. it’s an old photo of me & my younger sis & bro.

    @steph: hi steph! nice to *meet* you.

    @FinnFan: awesome photos!!

  113. 113  g3mini Says:

    @confused newbie: Hmm, decisions decisions…. I’d love to do #6! But I’d probably do #10 :( as I would not be able to pluck up the courage to say hi *looks down in shame*.
