☆ ~ 2012 RECAP ~ ☆

My year 2012

in pictures and captions (that took me forever to edit -__-" lol)

I'm quite surprised by how many hits my birthday post got (and is still getting).. What is going on? Anyway, here's my 2012 in pics (and short captions) Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! ^__^)/ ~ ♡

JANUARY x I spent a shit ton of time with JEONGIE during January. We did a lot of shopping, celebrated New Years together and yeah.. just hung out a lot in general. She also was the host of the party that we threw to welcome ARLENE to Denmark when she came to visit! ^__^)/

xxx

FEBRUARY x This month has no picture for the mere reasons that 1. February sucked for me and 2. I didn't blog at all.. My family had a very close friend taken away from us way too soon and she left this world in the most horrible way one could ever imagine. So yeah, let's leave it at that.

MARCH x Yay! I participated in the big demonstration in Copenhagen against ACTA. Fuckyeah, we did a good job! ACTA was cancelled and trashed shortly after. Hoho! Score! I also got my own apartment! :'D Looking at the pictures now I kinda miss it.. -sigh-

APRIL x I got my first LUSH order in the mail and loved pretty much everything! Except the foot mask.. The foot mask was made of evil and mint. Ouch! I got a lovely care package from Haku and I went home shortly during the month to visit family.

MAY x I got my fucking awesome DSLR this month and my food porn pics instantly got better! Haha! I also got my first Sigma Beauty order in, finally got my hands on some Makeup Forever products and cooked like a maniac! So much food porn nom nom nom!

JUNE x Uni ended and we flipping ROCKED the event at the National Museum. I worked hard to make a good impression (and a good presentation) and it paid off! I got an A+ and could finish uni that semester with a big smile on my face. I spent my last days in the capital by chilling with friends, eating and doing slumber parties at Dev's house. Good times! Oh, and I met Haku as well! Best month EVER imo!

JULY x I actually packed up my things in the end of June, but oh well. I moved my stuff to my parents' house and decided to spend my last month in Denmark with them. I helped out a bit around the house, went with my dad to Germany to shop a bit for Gold Cup 2012, cut my hair super short and spent some time with my parents' new puppy! You can barely see her on the pic, but she's actually laying down just in front of Agnes (the white/black one). Ahh~! Shirley's gotten super big already. -sigh-

AUGUST x August was crazy as heck! I spent a weekend with my entiiiire family at Lalandia in Billund to celebrate my grandma's birthday before leaving. I then packed my shit and left for Korea. It was a long-ass trip (18,5 hours on flight in total) and we were completely busted after that. I got sick within the first 2 days (damn air condition) of being there but oh well.. We did a bit of partying, met some awesome people after moving into the dorms, went to the SM.ARTS Exhibition at CO.EX (where we were interviewed 3 times and where we also saw Ryeowook and Eunhyuk from Super Junior, w00t) and went to see a bit of the PROLEAGUE 2012 games - T1 vs. ACE. Of course T1 won ; D 천찬씨 was an ultimate fanboy that day. Haha! Good times!

SEPTEMBER x I don't remember much else than the MCM event from this month.. oh and the concert! I was literally drunk for almost 3 weeks out of this month. It was crazy! I went with friends to see FT Island's show TAKE FTISLAND (it was epiccc!!), went to buy MCM bags and then also went to the MCM x Vogue Korea event the same month. Oh, again.. lots of partying! The pic is me and Caspin aka 내제일좋아하는뚱바보 ♡ ㅋㅋ

OCTOBER x In October we made the huge mistake of going to the fireworks festival. It was a beautiful show but the trip home was a BITCH as the nearest subway had been closed and police was surveilling  the other two. We had to walk along the highway to find a cab, constantly having to listen to stupid dudes in cars honking and yelling at us in broken English -__-" We luckily found a cab, but ugh.. Never again. Also.. the most amazing release of the year (of any year in kpop really) came out - BLOCK.B's BLOCKBUSTER. I'm still loving the album to bits. Will do a review/unboxing on my YOUTUBE channel for you guys! Just gotta clear my cold first.. T_T

NOVEMBER x Argh finals began this month. I spent a shit ton of time with my KLI class and especially Sejon and I went on some epic adventures. He went back to Australia already but oh well~ What else can you expect from a fackin' caaarnt? LOL. I also experimented a bit with my hair color and dyed some of it lilac (I did that in October too, but November's outcome was better imo).. I was also majorly sick during some of the finals. I'm sick now too.. again.. Jeez.

DECEMBER x Ahhhh such a crazy month! The holidays made me miss family and friends back home to DEATH and I've had a hard time handling being so far away. I'm dealing with it still, but oh well.. What can you do? I guess this is all part of growing up. Anyway, this month I went to A Walk With(out) the Stars (click HERE for vlog!), got my first tattoo (read about it HERE) that I fucking LOVE to pieces, turned 22 and celebrated with a great party with epic friends! :'D They even got me a cake! Ahh~! ♡ It was the best party ever! I later on celebrated a rather sad Christmas Eve with Kat and Nezumi. After that I ended up going to Hongdae and got fucked up (meaning: piss drunk lol). New Years was spent at Nezumi's dorm where we watched Harry Potter, had snacks and just generally had a great time! I also got to Skype with my parents that day.. I actually Skyped with them at 8AM on the 1st of January (time difference) and they were all piss drunk. LOLOL. Good times! I miss them a lot..

And yeah.. here we are! A lot of my friends left Korea (or are leaving soon) so our paths are separating us yet once again. I gained and lost a lot of friends here already - all part of growing up, huh? It's tough but you learn to live with it I guess. I'm excited to see what the next few months will bring, as our scholarship doesn't allow us to take winter classes. So for now (and until March) I can chill.. I'm hoping for a trip to Japan one of these days! I really wanna go! Maaaybe if I'm super lucky, my trip to Japan will crash with a the GazettE gig. Oh dang, that would be epic! ♡ Hoho!

Wish you all a wonderful 2013

Thank you so much for all the support during this past year.

I can't wait to share my life experiences with you guys in the new year as well.

Take care and stay strong

♡

생일축하해줬니?

If you've followed me for a while (or just read my info page lol), you'd know that my birthday was yesterday. ^__^)/ yay! I turned 22. I gathered a few pics from the night. Thanks to those of you who wrote me on TWITTER and Facebook! I appreciate it loads! 

We went to CHICKEN BUS (치킨버스) for 치맥 (치킨+맥주 = chicken and beer) and it was fucking delicious. 냠냠~! My lovely friends got me a cake! It was super cute even though it was Christmas themed. Haha! Banana and chocolate! Noms!

We had a shit ton of drinks and I ended up back at my "other home" ESCAPE eventually. Before heading home Winston and I decided it was time for MORE CHICKEN. lol. Then we met some Japanese people (the girl in the pic with me is actually a girl that went to KLI this past semester too - level 2 as well! So cool! Nice to meet you, Marina!) and excuse my fucked up face.. Winston kept throwing drinks at me so I was rather drunk here still. lol

I got money from my grand parents, baby brother, big brother + girlfriend and my parents. Rim gave me a tiny Burberry perfume, Kat & Nezumi gave me a MAC blush (Peaches), Julie gave me a Toblerone and my room mate, Helena, gave me 3 TONYMOLY eye shadows and a nail polish ^__^)/ my parents also gave me deodorants (as they're expensive as shit here) and a coloring book! Hoho~! I like coloring books ok.. they're relaxing to color in and they're just nice ok x__x I got myself the new BLOCK.B 2013 calendar! Hohoho! So nice! I didn't unbox it yet.. I wanna preserve its.. perfection. Haha!

A while ago I received a big-ass box from my parents containing lots of birthday+Christmas presents, advent presents and some yummy treats! This is some of my favorite candy! Noms noms! Most if it is gone already T_T /sobs. So good~!

Random shots from the past week.. bombom~!

Selca-time. I had a rough couple of nights this week being unable to sleep. T_T boo~

This is my boyfriend. He has white hair like me.. and he's from Greenland..

...

....

.....

so cute aye? haha!

MY first cup of hot chocolate this year! SO GOOD and SO WORTH all the pain. Ugh!

We saw GD in Myeongdong (I went there with Nezumi for the last couple of things for Christmas) and he was (still) endorsing BSX. Nyamnyam! Not bad at all.. Haha!

Thanks for reading!

Merry Christmas everyone! : D
I hope all the items on your wishlist end up under the tree for you!

WE LOVE TATTOO-KOREA ♡

I finally received the package from my parents today (as the front desk failed to inform me that it actually arrived along with another package yesterday... fail fail fail as always!) and I'm beyond ecstatic! Yeah maaaaan! I can't open it until sometime tomorrow, though, depending on when my roomie decides to head out so I can record it (as part of an up-coming vlog) in peace. lol. So cute of my dad to mention, that I should make a video of me opening the box so people at home could see too. ♡

extra extra this girl got inked!

Anyway, I wanted to show you guys my tattoo! I got inked monday afternoon (do you guys remember me mentioning going in for a consult?) and I love it! I'm generally a sucker for text/symbol and number tattoos (dates, etc) and I love the colors, font etc. of my new tat so much. I know it's not gonna be everyone's taste, as people have different taste in tattoos as they do piercings, if they even like either of them. However; keep your negative opinion to yourself, as I'm not interested in hearing it at all. Of course if there was a typo, I'd understand your need to tell me (I'm a grammar nazi too) but since everything is spelled correct, I don't need your correction on anything. I'm also aware that a lot of people have not been exposed to a lot of italic fonts throughout their lives and therefore have trouble reading what my tattoo says. lol. I shall put "subtitles" ok, just so you don't get all cross-eyed and confused.

Also for those of you having trouble reading it, it says:

"your conscience is dirtier than money"

in black and red ink.

The meaning is rather personal to me and really hard to explain, so I won't really go into details too much, however I will give you the main deal: Generally many people are blaming money for everything bad, when in reality they, themselves, would most likely be willing to do anything to get money. So by their "conscience" being dirty, I'm simply saying that human greed is causing a lot of people to act irrationally, even though they're trying to point their fingers. It is also a "misheard" lyric by the GazettE (from the song "HYENA" (< I made it a link so you can go see what part of the song I could be talking about~ Hoho!)) that I've grown really fond of over the past 4,5 years. Haha! Oh Ruki.. you and your Engrish ♡

I got it done in Seoul at TATTOO KOREA. Definitely a place I'd recommend. Don't go to any cheap-ass Korean tattoo place. Many of them aren't legal/authorized to even do tattoos at all and I honestly wouldn't bet my limbs on it, if I were you. I was suggested to go to Hongdae for this one, but I looked it up online and found TATTOO KOREA that way. I wrote them an email about what I wanted, the owner replied and told me to come in for a consult to work on what I wanted. He's a bad-ass dude (who speaks English fluently, w00t) and he and his crew are epic as shit ok. They take their work very seriously and they're super good at what they do. I trust them 100% especially after mine turned out better than I'd expected. TATTOO KOREA even had a guy come in with THIS SITUATION going on (taken from Tattoo Korea's own FACEBOOK PAGE) after he got his tat done in Hongdae. As one of the guys commenting said: "Good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good." It's that simple. Don't compromise safety, guys. I'm definitely going back to TATTOO KOREA after this one has healed to get my next one.

Btw, did y'all see JEONGIE'S POST on her new super sexual sternum piercing? Hot damn, girl. She has a tattoo as well (okay okay I'm slow, but I wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted mhm.) hohoho! I'm one of the cool kids now! : P Admitted... I might go back again in January /snort. I'm sorry, but even while the guy was doing my tattoo, I was already thinking of what I wanted next. Haha! Crazy. The buzzing of that tattoo-thing is nice, alright.

Also I added a new layout! : D Do you like it? It's featuring JEONGIE!! I mean.. Hyuna. HAHA sorry but I seriously think they look so much alike!

VLOG + pictures! A Walk With(out) the Stars 2012

hey there

I'm back! KLI finals are FINALLY over and I miraculously made it to level 3. How did that even happen? LOL I suck so hard at 듣기 (listening) but I passed this time and apparently my teacher felt that I could handle level 3. MUCH studying for me this winter - 퓨~! Thank god I got 3 months (approx.) until next term. I wanted to study this winter too, but due to our scholarship and partner agreement between University of Copenhagen and Yonsei University, we're not allowed to take classes during winter semester. So boo-hoo T_T

I put together a vlog of what's been going on lately. I didn't film too much - most of it is from A Walk With the Stars and me showing you guys some shit I bought from TONYMOLY yesterday. :C I will do my best to film more when I go out and about. Hope you like it!

Also, I FINALLY bring some photos from the "A Walk With the Stars"-event which turned out more like a Walk WITHOUT the Stars, lol. It was so chaotic and unorganized. 80% of people took the wrong turn at a crossroad (they were following the idols who weren't told where to go) so the entire event was just fail. We were all given seats during the concert, but people either stood up on their chairs to see or ran up to the stage (which is super rude either way). At least I had fun with my two lovely ladies: Kat and Nezumi who both came with me : D SISTAR, Nine Muses, ZE:A, Infinite and that tiny guy from PSY's Gangnam Style music video came to perform. Nine Muses and ZE:A were supposed to walk with us, but security was HORRIBLE and especially ZE:A were almost CRUSHED by crazy fangirls trying to get to them T_T poor guys! I hope the arrangers of this event learned from it.. the security for the idols (and fans) was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE and people ran out of their seats to go to the stage while the host did nothing to maintain order. Fail -__-"

Excuse the photos if they're either not working or taking forever to load, I had to upload them to Tinypic cause flickr won't deal with PNG files :C boo! Hope you liked it all anyway!

STAY SAFE (and be careful of the cold/flu)

I was super sick all last week and have been suffering from a stupid-ass stomach flu this weekend that makes me wanna throw up everytime I eat -__-" Oh well~! My exams are somewhat over (only got my exam in Politics and Society of North Korea left on dec. 20th) and since I got no re-exams to take, I'm pretty much free to do whatever until beginning of March. lol. Partying, much? Hoho! My parents also sent a package out to me this past Saturday! Hopefully it'll get here fast! : D It'll contain Christmas and birthday presents AND some random goodies so my Christmas won't suck too hard. If you follow me on Instagram (heygodareyouready) you probably already saw my and the girls' Christmas tree! hoho! So tiny but very cute! : D

UNTIL NEXT TIME

MUCH LOVE
