People thought I was kidding. Well...I wasn't.

Embrace messy boy hair.

12/18/12

This is late but better late than never, right?

So my best friend, Joy, accompanied me on my Christmas shopping last Tuesday and it was tons of fun! She ended up an hour late (lol) and I had to browse through practically everything in National Book Store to stay sane because I had nothing else to do. At one point, I just sat in a quiet corner and read fanfiction from my phone until I heard a couple arguing about Haruki Murakami. They were planning on getting their nephew a Murakami novel and they didn't know where Murakami's section was so I ended up guiding them lol. 

By the time Joy finally arrived, I was starving because I didn't eat breakfast (read: I don't eat breakfast^^) so we went to McDonald's for take-out, bought milk tea (she paid for me out of guilt for being an hour late, luff you, Joy) and went to the food court because the food court has become my new favorite place in SM. We talked about random things and took pictures~

Lacks in taste but it's affordable. Also leaves a lot to be desired but whatever, it was the only milk tea station in the mall (boo)

Exams are over, hallelujah!!!!!!!

Also, my brother bought me a new phone as an early Christmas gift and I kind of cried because I know he's saving up for a house and a wife and his future in general but he still loves me enough to buy me a new phone! /sobs

Today, I woke up and the skies were gray. Hooray for rain! <3

Happiness in a box. I will never get tired of sweets from Korea to be honest.

"In the spring of her twenty-second year, Sumire fell in love for the first time in her life. An intense love, a veritable tornado sweeping across the plains—flattening everything in its path, tossing things up in the air, ripping them to shreds, crushing them to bits. The tornado's intensity doesn't abate for a second as it blasts across the ocean, laying waste to Angkor Wat, incinerating an Indian jungle, tigers and all, transforming itself into a Persian desert sandstorm, burying an exotic fortress city under a sea of sand. In short, a love of truly monumental proportions. The person she fell in love with happened to be seventeen years older than Sumire. And was married. And, I should add, was a woman. This is where it all began, and where it all wound up. Almost." 

Finally got around to reading this! Murakami is such an inspiration and a brilliant author. It's such a shame he didn't win the Nobel Prize in Literature. 

Bought new posters of SHINee! These posters were expensive but /sobs/ no regrets, just love ;____;

11.11.11

Well, aside from the rave that 11/11/11 is considered the magical day, it's also Pepero Day in Korea!



































Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine's Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date "11/11" resembles four sticks of Pepero. The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts. Lotte denies starting the holiday and instead states that they noticed a bump in Pepero sales around November 11th and after continued popularity they decided to then encourage the holiday with special gift boxes and other promotions.

According to one story, Pepero Day was started in 1994 by students at a girls' middle school in Busan, where they exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow "as tall and slender as a Pepero". (Source: wikipedia)

It's one of the many reasons that I want to live in South Korea. I want a day filled with nothing but chocolate :3
