WE the BEST

Today's post is very much Kpop related.
So the group that my friend and I created a fanclub for is a group called WE. They are modeled on the black eyed peas and unlike most korean artists these days, their age is older. Way older. Also, they are not idols. Anyways, so my friend who is volunteering for MNet had a mission she had to do and that was to make a kpop cover song. So since we are both WE fans, we decided to cover WE's song called Rainy Days. It was WE's debut song last year's november. Both of us practiced hard because the song involved rapping... in Korean.
Yesterday we finally finished the cover and the video that went along with it and uploaded it on youtube. Here it is

We got an immediate response from one of the members of WE on twitter and then this morning, the ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY posted the link to our youtube with a message telling people to check it out and that they were touched watching it.
Right now, I still don't know how to feel with this response at all.

To catch you up, when we first made the fan club we didn't think we were going to get their attention but first, we got one of the members and then the entertainment company and then we got contacts and then another member followed us. From then on we are basically communicating with each other on twitter.
This is when I say, I love social network websites! Without social networking I don't think we would've made this far. Just the mere fact that a celebrity, although a relatively new one, knows my friend and I, and talks to us is still surreal. This experience is definitely once in a lifetime I feel.

Work work work

So ever since I went came back from Victoria (I was there to look or houses) I have been busy with work! It is a really good thing and it keeps me busy during the summer but at the same time I get really tired at the end of the day. Let me start with my house searching adventures in Victoria. I wanted a place where it is cheap an close to campus. Yeah it is quite an idealistic approach but hey it's better than having no expectations I guess. However after going to look at places for three days straight, my future roommate and I got a little down from not finding anything and I almost compromised my requirements in order to have something. However, on the last house we looked at, we found something that both of us liked and that my friend liked as well. So that was good. Now all I got to do is to send some paperwork and the place is ours! Yes! I still cant believe we got that place.. All inclusive AND it is furnished AND it is close to campus! Ggah! I am soo happy. I had to go hom...

Back and forth~

By the time I was about to write about the rest of my Korean trip, I had to get ready to go home and then prepare to return to this side of the world to Japan. So my summer before arriving in Japan has been mostly been work and preparing to move out of Victoria and move overseas to Japan. Now that I have been in Japan, I feel like it's a sin for not having written anything. Arrived in Tokyo on August 3rd. We arrived an hour earlier than scheduled but that doesn't change anything because when you land in an international airport between noon and maybe 4 or 5ish, it's going to be super busy. Although as a JET participant, we were pushed earlier in the immigration line, we still had to wait for an hour or two through immigration and then pick up our baggage.  What's amazing in the JET Programme is that there's always someone there to guide you every step of the way until you reach your contracting organization. That is before the airport and after the airport. ...

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...
