☆ ~ 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

HALLYU comes to Denmark~ (한류는 덴마크에 온다)

We had the Hallyu/kpop/kdrama/Korea-event at the National Museum in Copenhagen yesterday - and it was bloody awesome! Thank you so much to all the people who came and made it worth the hassle of planning, arranging and prepping for the event. It was so great to hear that a lot of people were now considering going into Korean Studies because of the event.. ^__^)/  thanks so much, everyone! 여러분 정말 감사합니다! (and just to annoy Dev: "salamat sa lahat", mwahaha) We never expected there to be so many visitors nor so many participants at the event.. We truly appreciate the turn-out and how dedicated you guys were : D Thanks for joining in on the activities, asking questions and joining the flashmob! 

Now, I figured most of you would wanna see pictures rather than anything.. so here are some highlights from the event : D I hope you like them! Most pictures were taken by Lemar Jo (조 기범) from the Korean embassy with my camera. Hoho, he snatched it during the event and went all out to take pictures - thank you! This is gonna get pretty image heavy - just so you know.. T_T it took me forever to upload to flickr and edit links and shiz. Ugh. /sob/ Anyway, hope you guys like it!
First from prepping before the event:
Thank you so much to everyone that helped out even though they weren't asked to! Your kindness is well appreciated (especially cause we were all running around like flies in a glass bottle trying to get things done, lol)
Now to the pictures from the event!

MUSIC ROOM
These were computers set up so people could watch Kpop music videos and listen to the songs ^__^)/

LECTURE ROOM/PRESENTATIONS
sadly I got no pictures of the gaming/internet group T_T waeeee?!
Julie talking about history in dramas
My group (music group) chilling before our presentation about South Korean culture

THE FOOD HALL
A great success - movie running in the back about Korean food, people could get free food samples, there were pictures and even food ingredients set out for them to look at! Kat also wrote people's names in Korean for them! ^__^)/
There were constantly people in here! So crazy!
Oh, I wonder if he blogs too? >: D
Kat writing le names!

FLASHMOB/DANCING
We performed a small mash-up of songs for people.. The first time we danced there were SO many people it was ridiculous! We also taught a snippet of 2ne1's I AM THE BEST (내가 제일 잘나가) and T-ara's "Roly Poly" ^__^)/

THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME
(and look at the whiteboard outside the music room after the event! CRAZY xD)

Sadly this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience - so it won't be back next year.
I hope you all had fun, learned something, met new people and maybe got a taste for Korean culture and music : D Thanks for coming!
MUCH LOVE
(and omg this is at 5:30PM. SO TIRED T_T)
