So Fluffy I'm Gonna Implode

HoHoHo(appropriate greeting is appropriate, the weather is a tyrant)



There hasn't been much posting material lately, partly because we're having a weird energy'less phase and we're also running low on fuel(if you know what I mean*wigglebrow*) so we can't go out as much as we used to. That's why I'll comprise several days in one post.


Firstly, this week we started going out with Anca, so we took her to places we liked, like Yongsan, Ichon(Andrei) and Yeoido(me). Bless her soul, I bet she wasn't interested in them like me in math(hurr hurr so sexay) but she was too nice to refuse us. Our divine meat on a stick(for which we went all the way to faaabulous'dahling Gangnam'gu) was also met with a 'meh' reaction that would rival my life'sucking aura that accompanied me these days. She liked Yeoido tho so yay!

Fastforwarding to important matters. Sunday we went out with Kwak teacher's parents. All I can say is D'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


They were too precious for words. They took us out to eat (I finally had french fries since I came here *unicorn music*) and tried their best to speak English to us, so that we can understand them better (and teacher said they don't know English o.O heck, they know more than the youngins who are said to learn sooo much in school). We talked about us, we talked about them, about Teacher (I could hardly keep back my tears on hearing how much he worried about us and how much he called his parents trying to help and make sure that we don't run into any trouble)

Now I know I'm kind of a crybaby(when no one's watching) but Andrei was tearing up too so I don't think it's just me. After eating Umma went away for a while for what I thought it was a bathroom visit. Meanwhile we chatted with le super'duper'awesome'sauce Kwak Appa and found out more about him and his family. He also tried to encourage us, which only made me weep some more xD. When she came back, Kwak Umma had three big bags, each containing 2 cakes. I was so ashamed because we didn't bring anything (Teacher made us promise not to, wae u do dis to us? :C)
I didn't know such warm people exist, I swear they are fairy-tale material(Teacher too). They made our day, week and month. I can't wait to meet them again next month, when we will visit the National Folk Village.
So I think I'm pretty much back on track, not much is happening since lately I study more and go out less, but I can't ignore my duties(especially after screwing up in industrial amounts, like a boss, like I always do).


P.S.
It's almost the middle of March and I miss my calendar back home ;-; 

P.P.S. Random things I don't know where to include:
some tall buildings for Lexie


Le Huge Crab...Place?

and a conference we passed on our way to find the above mentioned divine meat on a stick
(now here's three ...people?... I didn't think I'd see together)

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.

Hmmm...

'Ello! New Year, new things to do. Starting this blog is one of mine.

Starting from the top, I'm a 20 year old girl(only 5 at heart,sometimes 56, I can't even say myself) full of energy, dreams and hope for the future (oh boy am I inspirational today). I'm opening this blog partly to get better at writing because gosh it's frustrating to wobble through words barely managing to get a decent sentence in five minutes but also because I'm pressured by my friends to keep them up to date with my activities in Seoul after I go there at the end of February( o boi o boi o boi I can't wait!!).

As it is probably quite obvious already, I'm a kpop fan. I want to say a sane one, but I'm not quite sure about that. I like various bands and various songs and I absolutely love Super Junior. I hate fanwars and idiots who waste their time offending and demeaning artists they don't like.

I am forever thankful to the one inventig milk and coffee, my everyday's little miracle. I love animals and my computer. I've been blessed with a couple of wonderful friends and with a loving family.

So much for the introductory post. I'll probably reveal more about myself randomly in time since nothing else comes in mind right now. Oh, yes... I might have a split personality and a few missing corks but I'm not harmful. Well, maybe except towards my own self, but it's absolutely unintentional.

May you have a happy and fruitful year!
