I have recently come across the plight of Yvonne Foong, a 23 year old girl who suffers from Neurofibromatosis Type 2. She is the author of the book "I'm Not Sick, Just A Bit Unwell". I know about her because the company in which I'm working with acts as her trustee. So I can verify that this is absolutely real and not a scam of any sort.
Neurofibromatosis Type 2 is genetic disorder that makes tumors grow in the brain, spine, and along peripheral nerves.
She has become deaf in both ears. She has an Auditory Brainstem Implant that helps her to perceive sounds, but it is limited and may take many years to train. Imagine how heartbreaking it must be to not be able to enjoy wonderful music the way we do. Yet, we take such enjoyment for granted most of the time. She was also born with an under-developed left eye. So vision in her right eye is very important. It must be preserved.
She needs funds to undergo a Gamma Knife Radiosurgery on 28 February 2009, which will kill an optic nerve tumor and save her remaining right eye. The amount required for the operation is Ringgit Malaysia 94,000.00. As of today, she has only managed to raise RM37,346.62. The surgery will be done at Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles. She has gone through many surgeries since 2002 and have very limited physical abilities such as profound deafness, underdeveloped left optic nerve, low right visual acuity, poor balance and semi facial paralysis.and is trying to gather funds for her operation. She needs to raise in order to save her remaining right eye.
I am posting this today because tomorrow is Valentine's Day. A day of love. As such, I would like to gather funds from the DBSK fandom worldwide and donate it to her in the name of DBSK and in the name of the fans.
You may transfer your donations to the DBSKer Archive paypal account dbsker(at)gmail(dot)com by the 20th of February 2009. I will transfer all funds to her paypal account on the 21st February 2009 and send her an email. If you're afraid I will run away with your funds instead of donating, you can donate to her directly at her website by clicking the links below. Every cent counts, and your contribution does make a difference in saving her left eye.
Visit her site http://www.yvonnefoong.com/donate/
OR Click the link below to visit her site. This link GENERATES INCOME and will be used for the purpose of donation. Therefore, if you're merely a student with no income to contribute, clicking the link multiple times and waiting for the website to load will contribute in some way to the fund. Remember that the DEADLINE IS 20th February as she needs the funds by the end of this month.

sherli11! Do you see this? I seriously think this was secretly dedicated to you. So what ARE you doing there with Eeteuk huh? Get back here to DBSKer!! LOL!!Lastly, I'd like to announce a new member to the DBSKer Team! YAY! Its about time really!! Welcome
lunatunalover! YAY! HUGGLES!!! Thank you so much... Ooh.. If anyone else wants to help with updating the news section or in uploading on alternative hosts other than MEGAUPLOAD, do email me at dbsker@gmail.com ya? That's all this time!~lynn~
What's wrong with Sendspace and Mediafire these days? Is it just me????? Or is it Streamyx? I cannot access any SS or MF pages. After clicking on the link i just get the 'Cannot Find Server' page. What the heck... Not to mention that Clubbox has been blocked by streamyx as well. It sure limits my downloading to Megaupload. Without premium, I have to download one file at a time. I will never get all the files I want in time to upload and update it. WHY???? Can anyone tell me? *SOBS*

hello there, its nice of you to post up songs for people to download. but the songs are copyright. its not very wise of you to allow people to download it. its consider piracy. its like not helping TVXQ to sell their albums,i mean if you really want to help, i would rather you post their songs up just for listening, and not downloading.
I hope you will take this matter seriously, its very wrong to allow people to do this, if you love our Dong Bang boys, then please stop this asap. instead, post songs up just to allow readers to listen and if they like it, they will buy it.
thank you.
i'm too a die hard fans of theirs.
gd day.
Great.. You just "made" my day and didn't even have the courtesy to leave your name.
This is like the 2nd such post I've received in a month.
I mean, get a life, dude.. I work my butt off providing those downloads for others. If you don't agree with it, DON'T DOWNLOAD! I know its not entirely right to be posting mp3s or whatever. But really, such downloads were a big factor in bringing me to my state of DBSK love. Die hard fans such as us still purchase their items in support of them even though we've listened to the songs millions of times. Some of us wring our pockets dry. I know Stephanie just complained recently about SM draining our pockets dry. And its true! Gosh.. I wish people would appreciate my effort in updating the downloads rather than putting me down on stuff like this. Its so disheartening. Its not like if I don't post it, no one's gonna be able to get anything anywhere else. As far as I know, I'm not the only source. I get my songs from others too.
Yeah.. Pouring literally. That's pretty reflective of how my exams are progressing at the moment. Memorise, memorise, pour, pour. Though puke would be a better word. What the heck.. Okay.. so today's paper was pretty shitty.. ARGH.. Hence the dark clouds.. Even the weather is reflecting my mood. HAHA..
On the contrary, I actually love the cool weather now. And rain is a welcome when you're home in bed trying to sleep off the effects of a lousy day of exams. ZzZzZzzz...
On a happier note.. FINALLY! I only have one more paper to go on Wednesday.. Then.... A beautiful sunny time ahead awaits! Yay! ^_^
Okay.. So this was pure crappy rantage. Sorry friends.. *shrug*
A YooSu pic.. Purely for me..
This post isn't quite about DBSK but rather another interest of mine. F1 racing. I'm a loyal fan of Kimi Raikkonen. Fresh from watching the race yesterday, I just decided to post some pictures of that moment. No reason really, except maybe that I was a very proud fan yesterday..
If you love Jaeho or Yoosu, this clip is a MUST have!! Maybe most of you already have it since its really old. But for those of you who don't please do.. The whole video is so full of Jaeho-ness and some moments of Yoosu. I'll just post alot of screencaps so that you get the idea. The screencaps however leave much to be desired cos they're pretty blurry. Blame my dumbness at posting these. ^_^ But the video is crystal clear for your full enjoyment. Unsubbed though...
*edit*
Okies.. So I'm dumb. I just learned how to make screenshots with Media Player Classic. Argh!! Oh well.. I'll replace the pictures below with better quality ones when I'm free..
A frequent reader and commenter of DBSKer just presented me with something this afternoon. How sweet! I must say this is the first time I'm receiving graphics as gifts. How lovely.. So this is a post just to thank you, Liah. Thanks for remembering my Junsu Love. LOL.. And thanks for the effort. I shall post it up here just to parade it to everyone. LOL.. HUGssss!! ^_^
I've been trying to get a banner for DBSKer for the longest time. Requests have been, so far unsuccessful. So this is truly a surprise.. ^_^
Okay.. so I'm testing something new again today. The CUT! What shall I put hidden below?? Hmm.... Pictures again? How about a fanfic I just read? I'm starting to like posting here I think. They have quite nice options.. WOOT! Okay.. So lemme just copy an excerpt from my own blog DBSKer.
"Well, a new friend of mine,
soloscry, who writes fanfic, has been so diligently advertising DBSKer that I'll return her the favour here. I think this is really the first fanfic I've read which makes me feel attached to the characters and craving for more! Personally I do like her style of writing which includes humour in it. I can't wait till she finishes the whole series!! Its just so addicting! (To me, at least!) So if you're into fanfic, do head to the links below!
Basically its a story based on the Movie "She's All That". But lemme post her description/introduction to the story just in case I don't do justice to it. Hehe..
(Note: This based on yaoi concepts of Jaeho & Yoosu.. So if those pairings aren't your cup of tea, maybe the story isn't too.. But seriously, it was a fun read..)"
( Read more... )
Look at lil' sleeping Junsu.. Makes you wanna cuddle up right next to him..
Some screencaps I made of Junsu from Choosey Lover MV. HOT!!
