It is always this time of the year

It is always during this time of the year where I start to feel like blogging quite a bit.
Maybe it's because it's colder and I don't want to go out at all but here I am trying to type as fast as I could think. It may be just two sentences but my mind has already jumped so many times, it's hard for my fingers to keep up. Have you guys had that experience?

Anyways, what I was going to talk about? Oh yeah. Well this time of year, I always tend to want to blog and right now, I feel like it's nice because it's the start of the new month, December. Essentially meaning, how will I want to end this month. I have actually done quite a bit this year. I think I posted about a new year's resolution. Somewhat. Mostly something about wanting to travel more this year. Technically I have been travelling a lot this month but at the same time... I didn't stop going to kpop concerts which inadvertently has been draining my wallet. OTL. Oh well.

I have went to quite a bit of good concerts this year. I didn't write any fan accounts of them and maybe I should take the time to write about them eh? Maybe this month once I have a bit more time I should. Well first let me think of them.


  1. Junsu's Flower tour at Osaka Castle Hall.
  2. Homin's WITH tour at Kyocera Dome x2.
  3. FT Island's 5.....GO at Osaka Castle Hall.
  4. FT Island's Fanmeeting in Osaka. 
  5. Idina Menzel world tour at Osaka Castle Hall
  6. Se7en's 07/07 Fanmeeting in Nakano Sun Plaza Hall
  7. Se7en's 10th Anniversary Tour in Kobe Kaikan Kokusai Hall
  8. FT Island's Where's my puppy? Tour at Zepp Namba x2
  9. Junsu's Yesterday Tour at Nippon Gaishi Hall. 

OMG. Now that I listed them. That's quite a bit of concerts.
How about musicals? Uhm.


  1. Elisabeth Musical in Seoul (Se7en)
  2. Genji Monogatari Takarazuka (Flower Troupe)
  3. Embraced by the Caspian Seas Takarazuka (Flower Troupe
Not bad. And if I wanted to add one more... this month for the day after christmas I will go see Chicago! IN ENGLISH! So I'm excited about that. But if I put together the number of concerts I went to see plus the musicals I went to see... HOLY CRAP.

Among the many places I went to see, I also travelled.

January: Nara (Nara Park & Todaiji), USJ, Nagoya
February: Yokohama, Hokkaido, Osaka
March: Fukui, Wakayama (Shirahama), Kyoto
April: Takarazuka, Seoul
May: Seoul, Yamanashi
June: Osaka, Okayama
July: Tottori, Tokyo, Kagawa, Tokushima, Ehime, Kochi
August: Wakayama (Shirahama), Seoul
September: Wakayama (Nachi)
October: Osaka, Hyogo (Takarazuka, Kobe), Wakayama (Koya)
November: Nara (Asukamura), Hyogo [Rokko Mountain], Aichi (Atsuta Shrine), Osaka.

I should record my travels more. Considering how much I travelled and the many stories I want to remember in the future right? I hate diaries because I fail at remembering things. Oh well. This month I don't think I can travel to be honest mainly because I bought a new laptop and that took a chunk of my money. OTL. Maybe a quick travel to a nearby prefecture? I don't know with gas money that might be pushing it but we'll see... Uhm... but to go to see the musical, I have to go to Osaka so...
Living so close to Osaka, it doesn't feel like Osaka is the next prefecture but it is. So I can put that down for December I guess.

I need to relax a bit on the spending next year it seems. So many concerts/musicals and travelling...
Next year let's save up and focus more on travelling? Yes. Let's travel more! lol
I wonder if I can follow through with that.

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...
