☆ ~ 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

♡

SO BLESSED from UP ABOVE~

hey guys

I want to tell you so many things. I have to leave out a lot of details for two main reasons; 1. I promised this incredible person to not speak of him nor what he showed us (that came out wrong, but I promise you it's not gross like that at all. lol) 2. Safety precautions. I already talked a bit about this on FB to my real life friends and those who are a big part of my life on a daily. I won't reveal anything else to you than what I revealed to them. Only my parents know the full details and the people involved. My friends on FB are already trippin' cause they wanna know who we met on that lovely Friday afternoon so badly. lol. I won't tell you, but let's just say that he's incredibly sweet, very talented and extremely funny.

Anyway, Kat, Nezumi and I went to the MCM store to purchase some of their amazing backpacks. We looked it up online, researched magazines and were so into this that we had to get them. We had simply planned to go to the store, buy the bags and then go back home and chill.. but oh no, that's not how it turned out. Thanks to Kat's EPIC choice of wearing a BIGBANG tshirt, we were approached by this (what we thought to be a "random") person at MCM. He loved Kat's shirt and suddenly we were taken to a café where we tried a special drink (오마자), then we got to see a lot of super-epic photos of some of his personal friends, we talked about fashion, MCM and even 2ne1! It was so cool! He then took us for a ride in his (epicccc!) car and showed us the area a bit, before we settled down at a super cute café close by. He got us hand-dripped coffee w/syrup and even fed us as we hadn't eaten all day. He treated us like pure royalty and was so good to us. I can't even express in words how incredibly thankful I am! We got to do and see so many things that I wish I could share with you.. but that'll have to wait until after official statements have been made. (Okay, before you guys get all confused and start throwing up rainbows, we did not become trainees. Haha! So don't think like that ok! xD)

Anyway, we hung out with this guy for like 4 hours before we got on the subway home after exchanging numbers and promising to go out for dinner in the neighborhood as soon as we were all free to go. I've never met a person this inspirational and warm-hearted. He took us, 3 random girls, into his world - showed us around, fed us delicious food and sang along to the music at the café with us. Being in his company was so relaxing - he was like a good friend that you'd known for years but hadn't had the chance to see in a while. Spite us being so young, he listened to us, made us laugh and entertained us like there was no tomorrow! And for all of this.. I am so incredibly grateful! :"D

I know that you're probably thinking "Nani wtf just tell us who he is god dammit!" But I won't.. You can have a guess in the comments. LOL. I might tell you if you got it right or not.. ^__~)/ ㅋㅋㅋ

Before leaving you (hanging, haha) I just wanted to share a few pics of my bag, the MCM store and me and the girls outside one of the cafés we were at. A BIG shout-out to our new, amazing friend, who turned a hot, unbearable day into a fairytale for 3 little girls from Denmark. Hoho! THANK YOU ♡

Oh, and a second shout-out goes to the staff at MCM. These people are incredibly service-minded and they're super funny! If any of you get the chance, please go there to purchase your MCM stuff! They're SO nice and thoughtful ^__^)/

Thanks for reading, you guys!

Korea has been such a wonderful adventure so far. I've been here for 3 weeks and already have I experienced so much more than I have throughout my entire life on this planet. The thought of going to Korea for a year was scary, intimidating and maybe even a little bit saddening. But my god, has it been the best choice of my life! Korea is beyond amazing.. If you know a bit of basic Korean, definitely come here when you get the chance! It'll be amazing, trust me! You won't regret it ^__^)/

Until next time!

MUCH LOVE

Rainy seasons are.. frustrating (and wet, lol (that's what she said))

Hello everyone,

I'm back with another entry, this time written in the basement/hangout-area of our hostel. It is POURING down atm., so our plans of going to the SM.ART's exhibition are put on hold for now.. So far we "only" missed seeing Taemin (SHINee), EXO-M & EXO-K and Amber from f(x). Fuck my life so hard right now.. LOL. We're going tomorrow tho, since we have to go to KLI anyway to fix some paperwork for KLI classes. So we'll see how the weather behaves tomorrow (please stay dry!). It's monsoon season in Korea atm, so when it rains.. it really fucking rains. Thunder and lightning usually join the party as well. /sigh. Damn weather.. At least it aint as unbearably hot today as usual. It's humid - sure, but not as suffocatingly hot. I also, speaking of hot, got my hands on Korean cold medicine - MY GOD DOES IT WORK WONDERS. I feel a LOT better, I don't have a fever anymore and I don't feel as generally shitty as I've been feeling for the past 3 days. Yay! Ironically tho.. Kat and Nezumi are feeling quite sick now. Haha! Glad it ain't me, mofo! Or well, I'm not 100% well, but now I just need to keep taking the medicine and then pamper my stuffy nose. That should fix it : D Weee!

Anyway, you all (and I mean ALL.. never have I had as many hits on ONE specific post as I did my last one, wth you guys.. such Kpop-obsessed fangirls you are!) probably came her to see photos of sexy stuff. Can I just say though.. hot Korean guys - sure, there are some. But they're as easy to come by as hot guys in my own town.. Or well, there are NONE in my own town and quite a few here.. But still, you get the drift. Not ALL Korean guys are hot. Just bursting the bubble for you.. so don't come here expecting to find SHINee-oppas all over the place. (LOL. If you can call all of SHINee oppa, you're too young to come here for that anyway..) 

I found more of Jang Geun Seok for my Finding JGS project-thing! : D Oh, and as I was editing the pics for this.. the entire basement area got pretty much flooded.. DAMN YOU RAIN :C
Anyhoozle! Photos! : D 

I'm not sure if these photos even count as it's the same company.. but oh well~

Okay.. from now on JGS on albums/stickers don't count -__-" only ads ok. ONLY ads. /slaps self/

On Monday we went to Myeongdong, which is a super popular shopping area in Seoul. I gotta say that there were a shit ton of Japanese people. O_O" We went to Yonsei Global Lounge first (to fix some paperwork that apparently fucked up.. but maybe didn't fuck up afterall. lol. We don't know) and we met the lovely Rim there. She spoke super good English and talked to us for a while. She figured that, since my hair is (apparently) epic, I should totally join a band. LOL. She also had trouble pronouncing "Line" so she decided to just call me Jang Geun Seok from now on BAHAHAHAH so epic! I love you, Rim! I really do :"D Anyway, she hung out with us for a while as she awaited answer from KLI and then we all agreed to go for kalbi next week. YES, LET'S GO! Rim is fucking awesome ok. She studies business and media law or something (all sorts of laws within business and media - like copyright etc.) and as said; her English = epic. Anyway, after Global Lounge we went to Myeongdong to do some shopping and to look for JGS, of course ^__^)/ wahaha!

Before actually shopping, we needed food. I hadn't eaten dinner the night before and my fever was killing me. SO FOOD TIME. Kat and I shared the food on the pic above - dalkkalbi (chicken ribs). SO GOOD. Spicy, but good. And we were STUFFED afterwards. Noms!

SHOPPING TIME! I spotted an Evisu, and from what I could recall BIGBANG used to endorse them.. lol, my memory sucks. Sadly 2pm apparently endorse them now.. but whatevs. What I remembered as BIGBANG was actually DBSK. LOL. So I like to think of it as me helping out the old DBSK and not 2pm. >__> /coughs/.

B2st ad! WOOOT! Dunno who the other guy is tho.. Jim Rickey 누구?

Music! yes, can't go to Myeongdong without buying music, now can we? Nope nope nope! Off we went to 2 music stores.. and ugh I got a free Jay Park poster! OH YEAHHH~! And Block B AND JANG GEUN SEOK NOMS NOMS! ^__^)/ ~ I tagged both Jay Park and JGS on twitter :C but they didn't retweet me supporting their asses. BSH.

After Myeongdong we went to Dunkin' Donuts! I was sick as fuck and felt utterly horrible tbh. This was all Monday and I didn't get my meds (lol, addict) until yesterday. /sobs. I was looking and feeling extremely horrible, I was tired, exhausted and super thirsty. I went for a drink that I thought was gonna be sweet and yums.. but no, it was bitter and disgusting as hell so I was even more discouraged than before. however, the cappuccino-sugar-coated-donut-thing (you can't really see it for Kat's orange drink) was DELICIOUS. NOMS.

Moving on to yesterday, we simply strolled around Shinchon, bought a few things and hung out. I love this area. It's super chill and people are so nice. The ahjumma (older lady) at our local market thought I said "annyeonghikaseyo" (안녕히가세요 - please go well (said by the person staying)) when I left the store. So she corrected me.. which would've been great if it wasn't for the fact that I DID say "annyeonghikyeseyo" ('안녕히계세요' said by the person leaving)... The problem is that because of my cold, I sound so incredibly nasal that you can't even tell what I'm saying anymore. LOL. Poor me and poor ahjumma. :C /sobs. Having a cold totally sucks.

I bought some Nature Republic goods to support JGS : D Haha lol. I'm not even kidding. I will probably spend up to 50% of my money each month at this place. The stuff there looks so nice.. and JGS endorses it.. so yeah :C The shampoo is from Watson's btw. And you get so many free samples and goods from NR when you purchase there... sadly.. no JGS cardboard figure for me. -__-" haters. bsh.

Oh, and here is my dinner from last night. The tuna sandwich-thing in the front was disgusting. Ew.. but I had to eat something with my medication, so yeah.. ugh.. it was gross tho.. not doing that again T_T;

and lastly.. CUTE SOCKS
I got the penguin ones for mylady and the other ones for myself. HOHO!

Also, I really haven't been drinking too much soda here. Their equivalent to Pepsi Max (Pepsi Nex) is disgusting and I hate Cola Zero so much.. So yeah.. I mostly drink water and vitamin water. Btw, you can actually get shampoo and shower gel by the vitamin water brand here O_O quite strange really. The Koreans sure love their vitamin water goods. LOLZ.

Anyway, that's it!

Hope you're all well! Don't be a fool and catch a cold like me :C
And don't go out in the streets in the pouring rain wearing flipflops.
... cause you will trip and fall! LOL.

Until next time!
Maybe I get some epic photos from SM.ARTS tomorrow! WOOH!
We'll see!
MUCH LOVE
