☆ ~ 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!

Seoul International Fireworks Festival 2012 ^__^)/~

Oh hi there,
Do you like the new layout? Keke

It's featuring the perfect creation that is Kris from EXO-M.
Ahh, isn't he just wonderful? /wipes tear/

Ahem~! Anyway...

I made my way back safely from the fireworks festival held in Seoul last night. Ugh, there were so many people. 150,000 at the very least! It felt as if the entire population of Seoul was gathered at the Han Park. My god, it was horrible getting there and even worse trying to get back. We left the park around 10PM and didn't arrive in Shinchon until around 1AM. We walked around near the highway, were yelled at by idiot Korean guys who felt the need to scream "Wow! Where are you going?", "OH YEAHH" and "HELLOOOOO" at us from their cars -__-" Are you fucking me... So annoying. Anyway, around 11:30 we finally found a cab and after about 1.5 hours in horrible traffic we made it home to Shinchon. /sigh. It was a NIGHTMARE. Traffic was insane as hell. Anyway, I managed to snap a few photos. Sadly the first fireworks photo is the only one in good quality (they're all taken with my iPhone).. Don't ask me why the rest of them suck :C I really don't know. They looked fine on my phone but then like shit when transferred. /sobs. Oh well~~

Supposedly there was a "Kpop Concert" at 5:30PM. Yeah, not much kpop about that.. Some shitty group named Super Kid(?) and then lots of old people singing sad songs.. don't know what that was about. Kat said that when she was there back in 2010 there were MissA and all sorts of epic groups. But yeah.. the concert this year was SHIT. Utter SHIT.

We left before the 4th group came on. it was too bad to bear.. Either way we wasted over an hour waiting for the show to start. Waste of time indeed.

Instead we went for food! I got a bowl of 참치김치지깨(tuna and kimchi soup) and 치킨돈가스 (breaded chicken filet). The lady first gave me fish O_O" wtf. So I was like "Excuse me, this is not chicken.." she apologized, came back with TWO filets for me and we got a coke for free! SCORE. We made it back in time for the fireworks! Ahh so pretty~!

Only good quality was the first pic T_T Ahh the fireworks were all so pretty tho! I'm scared of fireworks, but they were super far away, so I was okay ^__^" keke.

Also, here's sushi! Noms! 

I went with Winston to Stephen's parents' sushi restaurant. Ahh~! His parents are so lovely. And his mom called me pretty... T_T; Thanks, but not really. -__-" I was so sick Thursday/Friday and didn't even make it to class on Friday. I've been feeling utterly shitty (as you do, when you're sick lol) but I'm somewhat better today. My lungs just hurt. /sigh. fml.

To brighter news!

BLOCKTOBER 2012

Oh yes, Block B is coming back! Their new teaser ^ (up there) is fucking epic and I can't wait to rock  out at the clubs to this song! ooOOoo hopefully it's as party-like as it sounds : D Can't wait!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Did any of you attend PSY's concert? There were over 80,000 people there! Woah so crazy!

Don't catch a cold, ok?

감기조심하세용~! ㅋㅋ

Much love ^3^)/

HolikaHolika HAUL~ (+ some stuff from Watson's)

What better way to celebrate getting money.. than spending them? That was exactly my mindset when walking into HOLIKAHOLIKA for the first time yesterday. I wanted to look at stuff for KATIE, but I ended up spending W35.000 on myself. LOL. Sorry Katie.

Here's what I got:

I also went to Watson's, which is where I got the two eyeliners. I lost my beloved NYX Slide on Pencil liner a few weeks ago (obviously when drunk at a club, lol) and since NYX is super expensive here, I wanted to try a new one. 

I got the peripera smoothie waterproof pencil liner which also contains small silver glitters. It was the softest, most pigmented black I could find and it was only W7.000! Score! And let me just tell you.. it IS waterproof indeed. I still can't get it off my hand after doing the swatch. Haha!

I also needed a new liquid liner as my KissMe Heroine was running low and getting a bit patchy. I was gonna get a new one of the KissMe liner, but I found this one with Lee Hyori on it and since it was WAY more black than the KissMe one, I gave it a try. I haven't used any of the products on my face yet, but I'm definitely excited to!

I also got a blush brush (which looks more like a powder brush). It looks a bit rough in the picture (not sure why) but it's SUUUPER soft and only W7.000 as well (from what I can remember).. I actually thought that it'd be a bit smaller, but I guess this could work too. If not for blush - then powder, maybe?

Yay! Lashes! I LOVE my Watson's KISS lashes that were only W4.000 for two pairs, but I keep forgetting what they look like when I'm at the store.. lol, so I got a pair of HolikaHolika lashes as well.. Just to try out! I'm super into this style lately, as they look way more natural than my other ones. I can't find the Gil &... something, lol, that Yinnie got me in China last year. I LOVED those, but yeah.. Where to find? T_T So yeah, I'm trying these : D Pretty, right?

Somehow the sales lady talked me into trying this. It's a foam cleanser.. lol. The name.. "JELLY" Hahaha better buy some for all the haters, huh? : P Just kidding.. but it's supposed to be good for my skin. I was looking at another one and she was like "No no get this one. It'll leave your skin much softer  bla bla Korean words that I didn't pick up lol bla bla". She seemed really happy that we spoke Korean to her, so she kept blabbering forever and ever. Very nice though, very nice lady indeed! Haha!

Now to the best part! BLUSHES! Aren't they just adorable? The colors and packaging.. Ahh~ so nice! I esp. love the lilac color cause it reminds me of my FAVORITE blush ever by e.l.f. cosmetics. It's from their mineral line and it's called "Joy". If you're fair skin, slightly yellow-toned - get it! It's beautiful! I love both of these. They're super soft and only 7,000 per color! I'm probably gonna get all of them. I have a feeling that HOLLYANNAEREE would love these too! Haha! I think there were 5 or 6 colors in total.. I got two of the lightest ones as I'm super pale.. even compared to the Koreans I'm pale. O_O wth.

Last but not least! On the left - FREE SAMPLES YESSSS! Tons of them! Ahh~ I love buying beauty products in Korea.. They always pack your bag with a shit ton of free samples of pretty much anything in the store.. Hoho so nice! I also picked up one sheet mask! Pearl essence - yes please. If you can read Korean, it says 맑은 피부 which basically means "clear skin". But we used to learn 맑다 back in Copenhagen as a word related to the weather ("clear" meaning "no clouds"), so I keep giggling when I see it cause I relate it to "cloud free skin" lol. Stupid, I know.. I like grammar ok. /sobs.

Anyway! That's it! I got my next post arranged already! Got a package from home that I wanna show you guys (along with my beautiful BOY LONDON tshirt) and I also got a wonderful present from Kat and Nezumi! An early Christmas present you could say.. ㅋㅋㅋ Have a lovely weekend and to all my Korean residents: 

해피추석, 여러분! ^__^)/

MUCH LOVE!

나니

YOUR LOVE ISN'T REAL

Long time no see, aye?

I'm sorry it's taken me over a week 3 weeks to post anything. As you could probably guess from my last entry, I've been living life to the fullest - my friends (Kat and Annemette) and I were invited to the MCM x VOGUE Fashion Night Out event on the 6th of September and fuckmehard it was amazing! We were personally introduced by our friend to Key (SHINee), Hyunseung (B2st/BEAST) and Hyungjoon (SS501) - we even had pictures taken with Hyungjoon. So so so cool! And he told me my Korean was good /swoons/ HOHOHO~! I don't have the pictures from MCM yet, because they had a pro photographer take them.. so yeah, we're getting them from our friend eventually, I'm assuming. The party was amazing, I met some epic people, got to talk to the vice president of MCM (and omg she is so stylish!!) and had way too much champagne. /sobs. It was fucking amazing though! You probably (if you stalk any of the aforementioned idols (or Jay Park)) saw me hanging in the background of fancams like this one

or yeah.. something like that : P (I'm the girl with the white hair and denim vest (lol))The amount of Key-fangirls was OVERWHELMING and super scary. They were pushy and looked so mean when we were brought inside where he was .___." Please don't kill me ok. Speaking of Key, that guy is BEAUTIFUL in real life. If you think he's attractive in MVs or photos.. please try to see him irl. He's STUNNING. Same goes for all the other idols actually. I've only seen SuJu members Ryeowook and Eunhyuk as being not-as-attractive-irl.. but other than that everyone else looks AMAZING. I was surprised by how good Hyunseung looks irl! So so so so so handsome. I'm so sad his father passed away yesterday.. All my condolences, Hyunseung~ T_T Please don't be too discouraged.

Other than all that, I've been drinking like a desert for the past two week's time. I've been hungover pretty much all week. Partying non-stop, meeting new people, hanging at Club ESCAPE and Mike's Cabin (in Shinchon.. come say hi!) with my friends and simply just having fun! I had my first uni class on Thursday the 6th (before the event). We were barely there for an hour and then the teacher said "let's not spend all 3 hours today.. I just wanna talk about this class and how there's no class next week. So see you in 2 weeks ok!" LOL. So yeah, no classes until.. well.. 2 weeks after. /sigh. Language school doesn't start until Sep. 27th, so I'm having a dangerous amount of time to kill until then. Which usually ends with me drunk as shit at ESCAPE or somewhere else.. LOL. There was a photographer a few weeks ago there.. I was piss drunk, so if you see any photos from that party, please don't judge me.. -__-" I have no idea how, but I think someone spiked my drink or something. I went from happy and drunk on beer to fucking WASTED so fast, that I can't even.. o__o" So yeah, girls.. be careful ok! Good thing Seonghyuk was there to save my drunken ass and throw some water at me. LOL. He's a good guy! Jun also takes good care of me and their boss is so nice.. So come to Shinchon CLUB ESCAPE if you get the chance. Hit me up somewhere, I'd love to party with y'all! Kekeke.

Anyway.. yeah.. I guess that's it. I'm sorry that my posts are so sporadic (more like "rare", lol). /sobs. I lost followers T_T /creyz. But yeah, I'm trying ok. I just recently was able to update Instagram as well (heygodareyouready), KakaoTalk is a bit troublesome as well (dwaejieolgul) cause the wifi here is shit.. and yeah.. 3G on pre-pay is just a bad idea. It cost me 30,000 won in 4 days. Not good O_O" Tomorrow is my placement test for language school, so I feel a bit obligated to study. Regardless I think level 2 is OK for me.. Hopefully. Oh damn, if I get into beginner's level I will cry T_T my ego can't deal. Haha!

^__^)/ Hang in there, guys! I'll post more as soon as I'm settled with everything.. and started classes.. and yeah.. you know. Here are some random photos for you that I didn't bother tagging because my old laptop is slow as fuck and I don't have photoshop on this one.. ㅋㅋㅋ yeah sorry.. I'm a lazy blogger these days.. Maybe a vlog this week? oOooOoo~

oOooo teaser pic from the event. You probably saw this on Instagram too.

I was hanging out with Stephen in Shinchon yesterday and suddenly these kids appeared out of nowhere and started dancing (too sexily...) to Gangnam Style. -__-" Seriously, Korea.. Seriously..

My first home-cooked meal at the dorm's kitchen! Wooh!

Noms with Winston! Tuna kimbap and ddeokbokki.

Partying w/Mikko! His birthday was on Wednesday, so we got wasted (again) lol

Me on.. uhh.. I don't know? Friday? LOL. Before getting drunk as well. /sigh

Noms at Stephen's parents' restaurant! SO GOOD!

We went to the SISTAR concert too! Their first "real" concert! Mad props. Hyorin is amazing live!

And what I prefer to devour these days w/Nezumi. Burger'n'Shake is love~!

MUCH LOVE YOU GUYS
Until next time
~(^__^)/
