So Many Emotions

HAAAAIII!! It's only 9:30 and I am already up, stomach full and packed ready to leave(eat that Andrei for stealing my "wild coffee shop appeard" idea >:C)




Today is a big day, moving into the dormitory, taking the placement test, going to the web orientation, bank, back to the immigration office.....


Yesterday was a typical day of organisational disasters, we went to the Immigration Office, got the necessary forms, bought the stamps for 50.000 won took some pictures (lol'd for a good 5 minutes at Andrei's, the cabin was too small for him and he came out looking constipated) and we were told to wait for 2 hours, so we went to look for a coffee shop. After we let out our inner 3rd world retards once again when ordering our drinks(we got some weird device which looked like a cup cover, didn't know what to do with it and started to panic when we saw it start shaking/vibrating and light-spazzing but we figured that was our signal to go get our drinks)
I got organic cola(look at me all health conscious) and Andrei got a biga** cup of coffee which, surprisingly enough, did not have Engrish on it. Took some pictures as well, but my camera trolled me in a way I never knew it could. 
                             (this was supposed to be a normal picture, but it got all artsy-fartsy)
The place was amazing, Koreans really love their coffee shops. The service was great, and the counter guy was cute :"> While waiting we went into a phone shop and looked at some Polaroids (I want one!!!!). They were not too expensive, close to what I expected. 

I wasn't in the mood to take a lot of pictures, I was hungry and grumpy. Then I went with Andrei to watch some people fight some bugs (people won muhahaha) where he acted like a total fangirl(signs and everyting). Now I have an excuse to bitchslap him if he makes fun of my spazzing over Super Junior.



P.s. FUUUUU Andrei and your damn fangirling that got me on camera
\




 I'm off for now, will come back later to write how all went down and the ways the universe uses to troll me today.

Fabulousest

As I said before, I'm so cold I think I'll shiver until deathbed and beyond, but it was totally worth it.(the day picked up like I never thought it would).

I went out with Andrei to take a walk (no Immigration Office, le dud forgot le passport) and to look for a building with cheap electronics. We drank coffee in a very nice coffee shop with a veeeeery nice ahjumella who gave me milk powder because they didn't have caffé latte :3

                                                  (yum-yum, just how I like it)
After drinking coffee and harassing the wifi connection like true 3rd world inhabitants we proceeded to the subway station in search for the almighty ninja building. We passed Chongbokkung, which impressed me more than I expected.


Riding the subway was new and exciting(yes, I said exciting, le kid in me is enjoying everything to an embarrassing level) and not as difficult as I thought given that I was able to ride it back home by myself. We got to the destination and after around 2 hours of wondering in circles like drunk hens we got hungry(well Andrei did, I could have lasted longer, mere weakling muhaha). We saw the everlasting drama-sad-removing-place: the street vendor and went to get some ddokbokki(spelled right? no idea). Andrei got some soju, but it wasn't fit to my taste(like most alcohol).


Some more wondering took place then Andrei asked a guy from a hotel about said ninja building. That guy must reaaaaaly love his job. He went out of the hotel, asked someone about the building, found out nothing, ran across the street, flailed some more and asked some more but didn't manage to find it. It was like a comedy movie in history class. Some Engrish peeked its head to entertain as well.


Pissed and defeated, decided to return. Riding the subway went smoothly so of course something had to go wrong about getting back to the house, but my calm inner buddha took over and I didn't LUUUUZEEEE MAI MAAAAIIIIIND(some people can't wait for me to get bored of the song, keep waiting kkk). Moreover, I bumped into something awesome. 
Wandered around for 2 hours or so and got even further from my destination(not even maps and wild Internet can't save my completely disoriented butt). I was cold and hungry and angry. 

I somehow managed to get to a place from where I could get back to the house. On the way I passed by the palace again but I spotted some strange activity going on so I stopped to stare like a true derp foreigner. Many lights were pointed at a relatively large crowd by the gate that, once dispersed, revealed four Choson officials. Le inspired me decided to ask a girl who was also standing there what drama is being filmed. To my utmost happiness my suspicions were confirmed: it was "Rooftop Prince", the drama Yoochun is in 8D. They filmed around 2,3 scenes in two atrociously cold hours( new found respect for him and all actors, I was fully clothed and was shaking like a twig in a pmsíng storm while they were wearing traditional clothing). I was 20 steps away at closest(unbeliebleble xD) and even though he may have not noticed me, I know he did saw me :> because he happened to look in my direction. I wanted to take a picture with him but people working around seemed to be a bit fussy so I didn't want to be shunned nor kicked by a certain horse >.>

So much for today's adventure, make sure you keep a hot pack or something to keep you warm, you never know how long you'll be out.

Day 1. Brr

'Ellooo from the land of the morning calm (which is not actually that calm, these little people sure have a lot of stuff to say, and fast) 

I'm currently staying at the Beewon Guesthouse, until the 29th. It's ok, I guess (I'd appreciate a real shower tho ;_;) I have a pretty fluffeh pink blanket :3(and I got a roll of toilet paper too, fyeah :>)


Sooo, I feel like I should say more, but I don't know what xD. Arrived on the 26th at Incheon (I didn't see any idols, no one waited for me, boohoohoo)



I got on the shuttle bus and proceeded (tat-tararaaaaaa) towards Seoul. I almost fell asleep on the way, not cool. I somehow managed to keep my eyelids from trolling me but I still missed my station WHILE AWAKE. I guess it was bound to happen, the universe wanted to keep my blog interesting.



Nice Guy Carter From Taiwan and his friend whose name I do not know ;_;(bless you, bless you a million times) helped me find the address I needed to get to and a taxi to take me there.

Internet works like a jogging grandma in my room so I have to stay in the pc room(at least I can use my computer so hooray). It is freezing down here tho. 


Roommates are shy, except for and Singaporean ahjumella who told me she came here because she's a fan of Korean dramas and kpop(she was flailing over JYJ, so cute x3, everybody loves her) 

I didn't realize how useful a phone is until yesterday, damn you technology. Actually, scratch that, technology is my friend and I need it. TREASURE YOUR PHONES!!one11 ...and Internet. Internet is awesome too.

I don't know how to conclude so bye XD

In boredomus nonsensicus



Stick a fork in me, I'm done! No more energy, no more stamina, not a single little teeny tiny microscopical drop of intellectual material left inside me(thank heavens for auto-correct or this post would be frying your brains).

(this makes as much sense as anything in the world to me right now)

So lately I've been extra herp herp derp. I'm not one to complain so I'll just say it once: I'm exhausted(due to various reasons I'm not going to bore you with) . I'm not sad nor angry nor nothing; I actually feel ok, but I think I look like a drooling llama staring into space. I have two more exams at which I hope to kick ass though in my current state that is utopia(the glorious rainbow-farting unicorn kind)

To stick to my current live-life-to-the-fullest philosophy, I somehow managed to start a new drawing, abandon it promising to finish soon(aka beforeIleaveforKoreawoowoo) and of course not scan it even as a work in progress. I promise I'll get to it ._.

I hope the next time I write will be with a little more enthusiasm, less brain-farting and a pretty piece of something I like to call 'artwork'.


I completely forgot about my calendar but it's still February so technically I didn't fail at posting on time(ok I kind of did but please let me keep a atom-sized part of my self-esteem, will you?)



Off to lalaland!!
