Where are you now karmie?

On Saturday, we decided to go to Aiins World. This is where all the major monuments or buildings of the world is reconstructed in miniature size. It was around an hour away from Seoul. It is actually located in Bucheon. You can call it sort of a bedroom community for Seoul. It's actually really relaxing to be in Bucheon,  compared to Seoul as there are more greenery and parks there. However, we were there to go to Aiins World. It was a really cheap entrance fee of only 10,000 KRW. They had almost everything and it was really entertaining to take pictures with these miniature sizes of these monuments and buildings. They had an education center as well for kids but we didn't go there. Although it was geared primarily for elementary school students, we were there to take interesting pictures and to "travel the world" in one day.  We decided to walk around Bucheon a bit instead of taking the bus back to the subway station after we took our wonderful pictures...

Friday night is here! The day should be sound a lot more exciting than it actually was. Well, my parents will be very glad to know that my roommate is very proactive in not being a sloth for the whole day. Since I have no classes today and my roommate doesn't have class until 4 in the afternoon, we woke up late... again. It's midterm week and we finished our midterms so... it's allowed! Anyways, usually, when I have nothing really planned, I tend to stay in my bed the whole day and be in front of the computer, either watching youtube videos or movies or surf the internet. However, my roommate is equally as lazy as I am but not as bad as I am. Good thing, she pushed me to actually get ready, get some food and actually focus on finishing our readings that we need to do for next Friday. YAY for awesome proactive roommate! Afterwards though, we returned to our room and chilled in front of the computer. She had class at four and I was still in front of the computer. Well, I did...

I cannot believe that this week is almost over. I did not think I would survive this week properly but here I am, on a thursday night writing in my blog. On Monday, I had my second midterm. It was my East Asian Religion & Culture class. I only had a 2 hour study session for the class and afterwards, I didn't really study much to be honest. So I was a little nervous coming into class that day. The teacher assistant came late, so it just increased my nerves for the day. When we finally got the exams, I realized, I knew more of the midterms than I expected, it was just a lot of writing that I had to do. I found myself writing the same themes over and over again but with different words. In a way that was relatively similar to the way he was lecturing his classes and the way Chuang Tsu has written his philosophy. It is basically the same but there are variations of the same theme I feel. Anyways the midterm went better than I expected, however, you never know what might happen. So,...

The weekend was relatively relaxing and at the same time, as usual, kpop related. As I mentioned in the previous post, Saturday was K.Will's concert. K.Will is a korean ballad singer, who is said to be the Brian McKnight of Korea. I have to admit after going to his concert it was really amazing! Although he was a ballad singer, and although he kept emphasizing through out his concert that he was a ballad singer and that most of his songs were ballads, he did quite a few kpop covers that required him to dance. It was very entertaining because he is such an awkward dancer. He even did LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem and did the shuffle dance. I realized, that once you step in Seoul, EVEN THOUGH the song has died down in North America, Party Rock Anthem will always be Korea's favorite~ At least it is for the past 2 years here. K.Will covered Miss A's Goodbye Baby, GD&Park Myungsoo's song, Troublemaker and, Maroon 5's Moves like Jagger. He also did the songs he perfor...

Thursday was relatively uneventful despite studying all day. I managed to get tickets to a concert I didn't think I would get tickets for. Yay! Besides that was basically lounging around in my computer the whole day. Friday, however was a different story. It started with a boring class and a midterm. The midterm was okay. It was open note so it was relatively easy I felt but I can't be too positive about it. Since every time I think I did well, I end up doing the opposite. So I don't want to be too hopeful. The evening is what I would like to discuss about. We had planned since wednesday (WE's last stage/recording) that this Friday all the WE국인s (Wegugins: it's the name of WE's international fanclub) will meet up at DJ DOC's Kim Chang Ryul's restaurant for a last hurrah dinner gather together thing. I think I have mentioned it before but I will say it again, Kim Chang Ryul is WE's boss. So that's why we decided to go to his restaurant. Plus you...

Tuesday was an interesting day. First time I had to do all this fan managing stuff for WE because my friend has to go to class. So this time it's a show called MTV the Show. The concept of this new season is the clubbing feel. (I think it's also a way to reduce the number of fans that can get into the show as well, EVEN THOUGH most of the artists performing are not even old enough to be in a club). Anyways, I like MTV because you get to stand so close to the stage and be closer with the artists. It's a club so it has that more smaller cozier? feeling to it I guess? i don't know, in terms of a show that's how it feels. So when discussing with the manager, he said that I should be there around 3:30 and when I got there the security guard told me that I just need to be back by 6:00. So I basically had 3 hours to spare. Good thing there were others that came early as well so we decided to walk around the neighborhood. We walked quite a bit and before we knew it, we sa...

Today was relatively busy and relaxing at the same time. I had my east asian religion and culture class in the morning which feels like a Taoism philosophy class. That's when it hit me that I have a midterm in this class next week and although I understand the gist of things in Taoism, I don't know enough to answer the questions on the midterm. So I realized I need to study more. The concepts in Taoism is relatively easy on the surface but once you get down to the interpretation that's when things get hard. Time to study some of these concepts a lot more deeply! After class I decided to buy a big box to prepare to pack to ship my clothes next month. I forgot to buy tape though. >_> next time! Today, finally I met my friends from Canada. After lots of schedule mismatching we finally met up. It was really nice to see them again. The last time I saw them was during the summer last year at her place. We met through being fans of JYJ and so when we met up again, I could...
