My Birthday weekend

Last week was a relatively chill week. On wednesday I went to Arirang TV's simply kpop again. It was a long day of being an audience for the whole day but it was fun. I got to see Dalmatian, U-Kiss and a variety of other celebrities perform. I did some shopping at the end of the week and also (at the same time) packed some things into boxes to get it ready to be shipped back to Canada. I have one box packed and I am packing a second box. Not looking forward to bringing it to the post office though. sighs.
However, last weekend was my birthday weekend and I had such an amazing time.
On Saturday, I went to MBC's Music Core all the way in Ilsan to watch a comeback stage for a relatively new group that I started to really like. They are called M.I.B which stands for Most Incredible Busters. 3 rappers and a singer and a 4 male group. The swag on them is unbelievable and I was glad I had the chance to go see them for a comeback. They had to record several times for their prerecording. Even if they prerecorded for that days' episode of Music Core, the camera work was not that great. Personally, I like SBS's Inkigayo better because they know the highlight of a choreography or a song or who to film most times. Especially for a prerecorded performance. I was actually expecting a lot in camera work for their performance because they had to stop and start a couple times but when I got back home and watched the final result, it was as if it wasn't a prerecorded performance. Slightly disappointed in Music core... slightly. Well, considering the amount of staff that was present at Music Core, you could tell that the current strike is hitting MBC hard (and personally i support the strike. Considering the amount of strange news allowed to be shown on MBC these days).
Anyways, afterwards we were surprised for a fan meeting with M.I.B and I was super excited. They were right in front of me and they were really beautiful. Despite being big and cool looking men, they were very awkward and shy. Especially one of them since he's japanese and sometimes does not know what's going on when people are talking Korean too fast. During the fan meeting, because they didn't know what to talk about, they turned it into an impromptu fan signing session. I had my slogan signed by all of them and when some of the members were done we had a little bit of time to take pictures with some of the members. I got only a picture with one of the members, Kangnam. (the Japanese guy). I wanted to take a picture with all of them as well but Cream and Sims were still signing things and 5zic was also pretty busy with other pictures as well. They are so different from the image they set and it's kind of hilarious. I am definitely going to go see them more in the future especially with two of my friends becoming official fan staff for MIB. yeah~
On Sunday it was my birthday! My roommate left the sweetest card and presents on my desk and afterwards I had to go straight to the shower to prevent from crying from being touched. It was such a beautiful card, it was the best present of the day. Once we got ready, we headed for SBS Inkigayo to go see M.I.B prerecord again but this time they only did it twice and it was over pretty fast. I got a ticket to G.NA's fan signing and it didn't start until 6:00 so my friends and I just chilled until we got to the fan signing location. When we got there and it was my turn (which was pretty quick because I was number 5) I asked G.NA to write Happy Birthday to me because it's my birthday. She's so sweet and adorable (and she has a really good looking manager as well). I gave her my fan letter and I hope she reads it. I didn't get a chance to tell her that I was from Canada as well but I wrote it on my fan letter.
Afterwards I met more friends at Palja makchang, DJ DOC's restaurant and ate some meat. It was soooo gooood as usual and my friends surprised me with a cake and the manager of the restaurant of course gave us service as usual and the manager was cute when he wished me happy birthday in konglish. By the way, Makchang is pig intestines and don't let the thought that it's pig intestines disgust you. It's actually really good! and chewy... it's so good. I dont' know what I'm going to do when I get back to Canada. We went to karaoke afterwards and didn't go home until midnight.
It was a really good weekend and on twitter, it was the first time I got a birthday mention from celebrities. Yes, WE members tweeted me happy birthday and it was really cute and it made me really really happy. ^^ Although the leader, Macho, tweeted me just now. Awesome! (^0^)b
This week, is time to get serious, actually send stuff to Canada and study for finals that will be happening soon and work on a couple of projects. I can't believe it in almost a month I will be going back to Canada. At the thought of it, I am sad but at the same time I am a little excited because I get to meet friends back home as well but I don't want to leave my friends here as well. Sighs... Meeting new people is awesome but leaving those awesome people is so sad.
Well when the time gets closer, my blog posts will be even more angsty and bittersweet... just to give you a heads up. hahaha.

[REVIEW/FAN ACCOUNT] Xia Junsu Solo Concert

This is a review. A very laid back open personal review on the concert... maybe I should actually call it a fan-account... but I am going to be critical about it so... I shall call it a review. A review on Kim Junsu or Xia Junsu's solo concert. Yes. Anyways we arrived at around 2:30 at the venue and there were a lot of people already. Never underestimate Junsu fans. First thing first, we decided to get our fan goods. There was a total of 9 goods that you could buy but to be honest most of them look tacky and the only thing I wanted was a light stick and possibly a slogan because they looked classy. The line up to buy the goods was very long. So they tried to make it shorter by lining up everyone with 4 people per row. The weather was hot and it was a good thing those who were part of the Junsu's fan club started handing out small Junsu fans. I am so glad because although they were small, it helped quite a bit with the heat. Fan goods! The concert didn't start until...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

Last weekend I actually did something interesting... at least on Saturday. We went to Seoul Grand Park, especially to the Zoo. It is located in the southern part of Seoul and the park is really a Grand one. The zoo, as well, was really really big. It was really cheap to get into as well. Only 3000KRW! We couldn't go around the whole zoo because it was a Saturday meaning there were a lot of people! I could walk and be at the zoo all day but with that many people at the same time, I had my limits. Being in Seoul made me realize how much I did not like being squished in between people. my roommate took the picture! ^^ Statue in front of the Ape Jungle! It was the 6 of us going to the Zoo this time. So we made our priorities on which animals we wanted to see and went there first. The zoo was humungous and was smartly divided. All similar species were together, or the animals that live together in real life were bunched together. Each section was themed. It was really cool! We wen...
