Cleaning and BBQ!!!

Today was a very average day. Finally cleaned up our dorm room and bathroom. Took out the garbage, did our laundry, did our bed sheets as well. Unlike other days, everything about today was pretty late. Well except for waking up. We got up around 9:30 ish? So not late or not early either. However, we had a late breakfast, a REALLY late lunch because we wanted to finish our laundry before going out and also a late dinner. While waiting for our laundry, I needed to clean my desk. I tend to pile things on my desk. I realized how much stuff I managed to accumulate in the span of one semester and a couple months. It's insane. So I decided to sort through the stuff I had on my desk and realized I could throw out most of it. From the magazines I bought, I basically performed surgery on them and cut out the pictures I liked and wanted and recycled the rest! yes! Through the cleaning today, I realized, I might need to ship a big box of my winter stuff and some of the CDs I managed to accumulate. In which some of them I didn't even buy. I'm wondering if I should give away some of my clothes away as well. Just to lessen my load coming back. Anyways, I have to think about that when it gets closer to me leaving. Next month. I'll think about sending things next month!
I don't want to think about packing! yet!

Once we got everything cleaned and actually got ready and decent to go outside, we went to get some lunch. Initially planning to go downtown but then we got lazy and decided to stay in the area. Not AS lazy as yesterday, we actually walked to Sinchon this time! Ate our lunch at starbucks and chilled at Cafe bene the rest of the time. Outside of Cafe Bene there was this row of beautiful cherry blossoms blooming. So sitting next to the window was really beautiful!
Beautiful Cherry Blossoms!

Thing is, in the morning, made plans to have dinner with my friends from Canada that we would have dinner with them. However, one of my friends started feeling sick so that got cancelled and instead we called out another friend and ate some pork belly BBQ~
It's really awesome because here we get full service and it's really nice because before they start the BBQ we can place our jackets and bags in a plastic bag. The bag is so that our clothes don't smell like BBQ. We got the usual, 3 servings of BBQ, rice and of course a bottle of Soju. ONE BOTTLE! I am very weak in alcohol but after eating out for BBQ a couple times, I realized I am slowly gaining a better tolerance towards alcohol. I knew this would happen in Korea though. hahaha.
Once we finished our meal, suddenly we got an extra serving of soup. We told the poor waiter that we didn't order it. He looked confused and then after a confirmation turned out we got the soup out of service. That's when we started speculating. Why were we speculating?
The BBQ restaurant's owner is the president of WE's entertainment company. Remember WE? yes. Anyways, when we got in, we saw that there was a fancy car in front. Also there was this private VIP area in the back that looked suspicious. My friend also tweeted a picture of the food. (The president is following my friend on twitter). So we started speculating that the food was given to us by the president. However, the reality could be that the manager of the restaurant recognized us and decided to give us service this time.
The restaurant's name is 팔차막창(Palcha Makchang) and it's owned by DJ DOC.

The restaurant is also nice because it has a music dj in which you can request a song you want to hear and the DJ was so nice because he could actually speak a little english. It was really cool.
Afterwards, we decided to have some ice cream. Baskin Robbins has this delicious thing as an ice cream fondue! Yes! It's amazingly delicious! Should get it more often! I wish I took a picture of it but it looked so good that we dived into it immediately and finished it relatively quickly as well.
When we looked at the time it was around 10:45 and my roommate and I thought we should do some karaoke but when it came down to it, it was a little too late.
Today was relatively interesting and productive. Tomorrow, we are planning to chill around a fan signing of CN BLUE. Just to see a glimpse of them. Again, I feel like the morning will be like today that it will be a chill day. YES!

P.S saw a little bit of the Canucks game and disappointed that they lost again.... they better win next time! CANUCKS GO GO!

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. ...

Midterms has arrived and left

Every day I walk to school and it takes me about 20 minutes to get to school. Every time I go to school, I pass by this road and not long ago I just had to take a picture of it. The fall in Victoria makes the trees so beautiful. I love the color of the leaves on this tree. There is more behind me and it keeps getting better as I keep walking underneath it. Looking at this view everyday... I never fail to stop and wonder about how beautiful these trees are. I bet during the spring, this is even more prettier. The trees cheer me up is essentially what I'm trying to say. Coming back from Korea, I have to readjust my way of thinking and even think back in English again. Although that's hard because I am taking a Japanese language class, on top of that, I have a Korean language partner on campus as well. So my head is filled with many different languages... but I guess this is not really a new complaint and YET, why is it this year I'm having a hard time? I guess more than th...
