ripped open the package an yes there was some tea and other goodies from home and all of the really essential clothing that i had to leave at home. hahah like red jeans and dungarees. whooooop i love it. but then i had to catch a train home and i mostly ate all of the candy hahahahah and some other stuff. whooop its good. but remind me never to do that again. hahah next time just have it fedexed to my dooor.

but hte night before partying was interesting we went to hooker hill the hyatt and some other random spots and danced to kpop and met some really interesting people who just hump glass doors for fun. hahahah i love seoul. remind me to hang out there more. but in hungdae where the fashon the the people are hot hot hot.

Animal party - prelude.

Well well well, who knew i could fall for a city like this. one more time.

well as mentioned previously im in love with the fashion and im not kidding when i say that most people looked like they just walked out of the editorial section of a fashion magazine. anywho. on to me and my fun night

so the day was spent recovering fromthe night before. then we hit up a jjimjilbang. which was at the bottom a wedding hall. so we got to see some brides in all their non glory. seriously these girls looked soo unhappy to get married. haha but that might have just been nerves.

so we get to the jimmi jangle we go in and well im now nearly comfortable gettin nekid cos there is noone around me that i know so im like be brave be brave. hahah go for a shower but im not so comfortable getting into to the scalding bathes yet!

then i have a massage and go see okai - but shes gone missing. so we loose each other for 2hrs in there and the finally i get her on the phone and shes gonna meet me at our fave spot kfc!

we meet up  and go shopping. H&M is the only thing on my mind. yesssss! and then i find a uniqlo too.
funny thing is that H&M is cool but not really what im looking for. i do get a baning pair of espidrills to wear for school and check out some of the hottest colours to hit the stores in an while.
Charturce and sienna burn sunset orange. yay!

then we mission back but not before i do my makup instore and see some guy wearing my exact outfit from the previous day. love! love love.

Then back to our place and time to party. but not before we get lost on the subway and meet some really nice locals who show us back to where we need to go.

Seoul times



so what an amazing weekend filled with adventure and the unknown.

yippee i for def need to say yes to more things and see where it goes. meeting new people and seeing new things.
mostly new people adn seeing their things. hahahahaah

friday was a busy busy day. school finished and i rushed out to get changed to go to the station.
catching a three hour bus to seoul with okailey. hmmmmm.

i pass out on the bus just cos i need some nap time and to feel refreshed for the nights activities and well i wake up and i really need to peee. we are about half and hour away from seoul and im ready to burst!
hahah - i have the bladder of a 10yr old. hehehehe.

anywho we get to seoul adn then its crazy subway stylings. its crazier than manhattan and london combined. and its in hangul too so its uber confusing. but im liking that im distracted by hotties. hahaha

get to the hotel and check in adn we meet some people just chilling in reception. its all good. then its time to go out. we drop our stuff and hit the town.

ooops the banks are closed and well we try the 7 eleven and i get some cash. sorted first a bite at kfc and then we are going out. so we meander down the roads looking at the really hot and really fashionable people. i swear this place has another thing on london and new york. the fashion is leaps and bounds ahead. i have to say i love. it. people experient and just get creative. no holds barred. very 365days of fashon.

we go for a drink and then meet one of the people from the hotel. we end up in a really crazy hole in the wall and order some peach rice wine. yummy. it comes with two fried eggs and silkworm lavae. in a light broth.
hmmm tastes like pecan nuts. adn it coats your throat with a crazy grittyness. must be to get you to drink more iu say. and before you know it it is 3am and we retire. tomorrow is gonna be crazy.

Personal Preference

o the second of my favourites is called Personal preference. and its soo funny sooo interesting.

Well the main draw to this show is not only Lee Minho one of koreas hot young thangs but the fact that this story chooses to deal with/exploit highlight homosexuality in korea.

Quick Fyi - Gay doesnt 'exist' in Korea this is what ive heard from some of my korean friends and well its quite the taboo here. but not in a bad way its just like it never existed. im not too sure why or how or the other semantics of it but ive heard of some people being shunned and getting fired fromjobs or ending their careers cos they came out.

Anywho so this show is all about this guy and architect who needs to get his next project of the ground. by a crazy twist of fate he meets or rather gropes this hot mess of a girl (a furniture designer)and well they fight and stuff. The the hot mess of a girl is seeing htis guy and well he is seeing her best friend. but they havent told her. and well as it goes her bestie and the guy she likes are getting married. and she doesnt know.

also the architect and the groom to be are arch rivals. eeep. anyway so in a twist of fate, yet again the hot mess of a girl finds out at their wedding that shes not the bride and that the love of her life is marrying her best friend and housemate. eeeeeeeeeeeeep! so she kicks her bff out on the curb and then she needs money cos her business partner stole money. so she looks for a lodger and low and behold our young handsome hero comes along and takes up the spot. (only cos he needs to steal some ideas from the house she lives in cos its famous for its architecture)

but she is under the illusion that this guy is "gay' or "Gay-a' in korean. hahaha and so she lets him move in cos she cant deal with Real men right now.

so they have shenanigans hes a neat freek and she well leaves her panties all over the house. Anywho the become besties and then they fall in love. he isnt really gay but pretends to be cos she kinda outed him to his boss and some other people and now his boss who is really gay, has a crush on him. oooooooh the drama! hahah

anywho in recent episodes they have now kissed and fallen in love. but i cant wait for more drama to ensue. its really good and im learning so much about the culture from these shows.
ooh la laa.

check out the trailer.

Cinderellas sister

so in  a previous life ive always thought of myself as being cinderellas sister. hahaha (not the evil ones) hahah but ive really become addicted to the soaps that are on tv. i just stumbled across it one day and well ive now added three to my list. its crazy.

well the dramatic on is cinderellas sister. basically its really emo and its all about love and how these two people are in love but they just cant admit it to themselves and then also express it physically. As in a hug or a kiss. its sooo tragically romatique. just like my life and most of my liasions hahaha its weird. but the acting is soo good and i mostly end up crying through most of the episode.

im literally arranging my schedule around these soaps and well even though i see the latest episode i really dont understand the language but the visuals are so powerful im just like whoooooooaaa! so i know what is going on.

so this girl is just emo and dark and she is contrasted by her stepsister (happy sunny girl) hard to tell which one is cinderella cos i guess cinders whould be the one who ends up with her prince charming right. anyway so she works for this rice wine place and then the guy who she is in love with and he is in love with her, they sort of know they like each other but they are too afraid to do anything. so they nearly touch. they nearly kiss and they nearly smile but i think shes been hurt too much in to get attached.

anywho so her stepbrother comes back into the picture and he's obsessed with her (not in a crazy way) and hes super hot. and then thats where it is right now. new episode tonight. i cant wait.

then there is also oh my lady and personal preference.

yesssss!

well i swear it feels like longer. but a good longer. hehe.

so we head downtown. a friend meets me outside my apartment an we walk to the subway. its cool knowing people here that are also in the same situation. it makes life soo much easier. we meet my friend joe who i swear is mattloaf hehehe and we head to lemon tree to eat some 'real' beef burgers. hmm yummy.
then a quick taxi off to USquare and imax iron man.

im less than impressed with the movie but i like it. its predictable adn well the effects are cool. appart from him inventing a new 'element' hmmm in his basement. loads of sexual inuendo which im a huge fan of!

then we meet up with the rest of the crew adn have a nice drinky at soul train downtown. its more chilled and well we have a chance to talk and not scream in a load place. civilised.

then i head home. ive got nothing plaaned tomorrow really besides iceskating and dinner with some friends. i havent been skating in years. is it like riding a bike? we'll find out soon

for now

i decide to go downtown early so i can get some me time in the shops. first do a round of checking out prices to make sure that the base is good. instead of purchasing something in one store and then walking into a store next dooor and finding the exact same thing for half the price (ee) most things that end in (e) here you just elongate and then people understand. Orange becomes Orange-eee. seriously (ee) hehe lying about that one.

so im stumbling along and then make my way to Uniqlo. you dont even understand its been sooo long since ive held a wanting hand --- where is that from. haha. anywho theres nothing like the smell of that first entry with the intention to buy.

like a new car smell. they should bottle it so i can carry it around with me all of the time. essence of new clothing. love it. so i hit up the top two floors and like a kid in a cupcake store im all over that shizzle and my adahd (izzle) aint helping. the colours are popping and locking and im like oooh , aaah, yummy noises.

anywho got some black skinnies and a cool ass jumper. hot. cant wait to rock it out.

then just moving around town checking it out. found a bake sale. loads of yummy western cakes. apple cinnamon muffins. very tasteee and delicious. and i meet some friends.

found my way to the river. it was nice, the sun was out and i had a cool time tanning. much to the amusement of the locals. cos um tanning is a bit not dejour here haha. they just stared whilst i got my skin out. not too much just arms and legs. haha . soo good. vitamin d me up.

chilled and then a crazy tshirt store. that i now love. hotness. and then dinner and drinks with the Aprilepics and some more kareoke - i think my new fave is CHER. (do you beliiiiiieve in life after love)

Weekend Anthem - cos these girls be shakn it like Afri--cans! Work it girls


weekend horoscope!! whoop

February 19-March 20

Weekend Update:

Apr 23, 2010

Don’t allow other people’s myopic view of life to harsh your buzz. Your personal choices don’t need to be defended to the small-minded, intolerant people who are questioning you. Instead, focus on harmonious connections, with people whose desires dovetail with yours naturally. There are plenty of those to be found, especially on the romance front. You want to wear the rose-colored glasses this weekend, which is fine up to a point. Then there’s behavior that’s simply unacceptable. Get clear on your bottom line and don’t engage with people whose behavior, language, or communication style doesn’t honor you. On Saturday, Venus enters your domestic fourth house. Channel your inner Dorothy Draper and give an area of your home some TLC and artistry. Designate a sacred corner for dreaming, making art, and lounging sensually as you sip wine and write in your journal with a plumed pen.

Wednesdaisy with a Hooka pt 1

So one of my teaching pals is supposed to graduate today and we decide to have a quick dinner for her.
Wowee what a night this would turn out to be.

Well we went out for dinner, to the same place as saturday and i know better than to order the realllly spicey meal thing that will basically melt your face off. Seriously i think i removed like 5 layers from my tounge! oucheee and also my intestinal tract. But thats good - it burnt away all of the crazy animals thats been hiding in there for sooo long. bye bye mr tape worm. hahha

anywho over dinner we get to talking and mr john informs me of a sisha pipe place that hes heard of but not managed to locate. a nice shisha would be awesome right now. so we are going to get dessert at the moulin rouge as well.

but before this i gave Xtina - the mono - to the Mono_chop - allow me to explain this in a later post. hehe.
so i gave her a quick tutorial on how to get from her housee to the subway. cutting about 40min from her dubiousl 50min bus ride downtown. eeeeep.

anywho so we end up at moulin and then right across the alley is the Ethnic cafe. Home to the sisha. yay score.

too tired to do anything - so i nap

Well since my bromance is gone. Ima nap. its been a crazy weekend fo real reall and i need to recharge my batteries. So I get home and just sink into my bed. Just about managed to remove my shoes and then im out like a light.

Wake up - and wow its time for school. It hardly felt like i slept but im feeling a tad spritelier!

xxl
jjdp

Whered he goooo? i want my bromance back

So the nickster left today. boooooooo. on the KTX and then on a jet plane to his Palace in the UAE.
Well at least thats what i thought.

He said hes gonna try and leave today cos the crazy EYayayayayayaya Volcano decided to spew its dirt all over Europe and now everyone is having a backlog or whatever. So he was heading to Seoul and then back West. its wierd cos i know it as the middle east but now that im in the East everthing is kinda different.

Coolio - im super tired cos wow who knew having an attache was such hard work. but fun work. hehe.
so im at school and im like well hell let me know when he gets to Seoul. 12pm nope.

1pm nope. okay. then when it hit 12am and still no word for St Nick i was like omg they kidnapped my bear and they are now holding him ransom. And i only become a millionaire in a week. hehehe.

So i wait and i wait. hmm kinda like waiting for a chicken to hatch. at some point if its taking too long you are gonna kinda go nuts and wonder if theres a chicky in the eggy. hahah

Then wonders of wondersm, Yeay, word that hes alive and not in some dungeon somewhere being whipped by a hot asian lady - asking him to talk in a harsh british voice. heehehe. although i know he'd like that. Very much indeedy. Too much indeedy id guess. hahaha. Dream on slick.

But im happy that hes ok and now i can hold off on sending out the non-existant search party. hes happy to be back in Abu and im not so happy cos i have no big spoon tonight.

ice cream in the moulin rouge



so we found this cool coffee shop. two levels and kitched out like you cant imagine.
Pink polkadotted curtains and couches, crazy lamps and chandeliers and just randomness that spells amazingness. i dont know one of my new fave spots so far.

hung out with the nickster and sonia-face and then just chilled for three hours. its been a pretty intense weekend so its cool just to chat without shouting and such. and then eating some icecream with cornflakes.

i feel like cornflakes are the go to side dish here. but im liking it. alota! hehe.

Soo then we retire and sleep. nicksters gotta pack and ive got school in the am. we recap and braid each others hair. hahaha. kidding.

sleepy time.

This makes me happy!

Like a virgin! touched for the very first time Everytime!

uptown girl? no biaatch this shizzles going down, in DTown!

Right what do you do when you are hungover - you walk around surrounded by fishyness and then window shop. and eat fried potatoes dipped in cheese. yummay

ok so we are starving adnwe find a place to eat. Korean ok. so we get there and yes the menu has pictures. score. so then we order. mind you we had one authentic pork bone meal and we order from the pic. low and behold its the same meal as thursday night. im not complaining. i loved it. its hot its spicy and its tasty.

but we are eating and then there is this unavoidable huge screen showing pics of plastic surgery. wha wha - while im eating. are you serious. hahah such a nick thing to say but i soooo havent heard it in a while. we eat, drink and are merry. and they have free ice cream. a service that im gonna be using very well in the future.

sooooooo. we leave with icecream cones in tow and window shop some more. we find a place called 'COCKS' and well its kinda a wierd thing that we found. and take some snaps with ice creams in our mouths and then my gag reflex decides to kick in promting me to cough up im Icecream and catch it. the momentum then makes nicks icecream fall out his mouth and hit the ground. Tragic childhood memories return of a fresh cone being licked only once dropping to the ground. booooooo!!!!

anywho we decide its ok and then walk along. i dont know why but we look up and then there are people waving at us from these overly decorated booths and drinking coffee. what do we do.

lets go join them of course. we dont know them - but fuck it. hay ho lets go.

Now learn to do the coolest dance moves around. I rocked these babies in the club the other night. Fo real real

http://promotion.auction.co.kr/promotion/MD/eventview.aspx?txtMD=02D0F48064

One of my favourite artists!

Who wants to play into the wild with me?

Some day. someday

Sundays are for picking up the confused.

so fresh from waking up from an epic night, the nickster and i decided that downtown was for def where it was gonna be hat. hotties. uniqlo, fresh food, but mostly UNIQLO! and we decided to sleep in and then go out. and i persuaded nickster to stay in my den of crazy for one more day. yay!

while he mongs - i watch my new favourite soapie - 'I like you' its a bout a guy and a girl sharing a house. shes been dumped by her boyfriend who then gets married when she goes away and then she walks in on his wedding. her housemate is a hottie who pretends to be gay so he they can live together. dramaaa.

anywho its in korean so i only have the visuals and my own twisted rose coloured romantique crazy random paranoid thoughts to go with it. but its fun. im screaming at the tv and nick is laughing at me cos he thinks im crazy until he joins me and we both are enthralled by it all.

the best part is when she gets her period in the bathroom of a restauant and she calls him to go get her tampons and he does and then hes too afraid to give it to her. Now thats friendship. love.

anywho then i get soniaface online and shes gonna be at sangmu. and since i live down the road - im like yo yo. shes stranded no-one pitched. haha. she joins the nickjj gang and we are off for coffee and a bagel and then we hit downtown.

Dance dreams come true

so since discovering BigBang and Lollipop ive wanted to dance to it in a club. and yes Houzeeee which not only has top class mixing djs and looks amazing inside - played this little ditty.

not gonna lie i nearly peed myself - this is ma jammmmn - like dammmn. haha
Xtina missed out. hahah but okailey and i grooved! and so did nick. wow.
and to top it off this guy Jake taught me how to do the Bubi dance. hahaha

yay! love it. then more free tipple and then some crazy dance. getting thrown out of VIP. Nick and I mistaking our own hot relfections as hot hotties in the full length mirrors (although i would do me regardless - haha). The uncontrolable urge to do our hair - cos every other boy in the club was doing it too, and then petting this beautiful Alaskan Husky on the way out. Wow its fur was soooo soft and it had eyes to die for. Im a sucker for blue eyes. and yes im really talking a bout a dog. nick has the pics to prove it.

aaaah another night. Bed but not before the 'special' tv shows hahahah. hillarious.

Spoooooon! ( in my head we were. hahaha)

Muy Caliente, Houzee and bumping and grinding!

yes, im talking about me. but also the peeps downtown and the food i ordered. well i was not in the mood for spicy.. so even though i looked at the picture and it looked realively genteel, i go and order the spiciest thing on the menu. Well done. Wellllll Done.

anywho - its cool cos nick needs to eat as much kimchi as i can possibly stuff down his throat. hahaha.
then we hookup withthe rest of the peeps and i go meet my friend annie and her friend Amy. haha. funny that.

then we head off to the german bar a popular spot withth locals and internationals i have to say. funtimes. banter banter and then as the alc starts working NOREBANG starts. whoooooooo.
Also the patented jjdp flirt method.

Touch. Tits and then well thats a bit to graphic for here. but always make sure you have a wet wipe handy.
haha

but its cool and have i told you that the bar is owned by a korean brew master who studied in germany and his korean bar lady is called HEIDI? well yes. indeedy!

anywho so we get off to a great start and then we meet up with some locals - friends of friends- and we all run off to HOUZEEE! amazing.

We all hesitate at the fact that is about 15000won about 15 USD but then the kicker - its free beer all night.
Booya we are all in. Plus i hear this club is filled with locals who like to jammmmmmmmmmmm! and whoa jame they did.

Right so we are in da cluuub and thennnnn..................

Uniqlo - I am saved and i basically groped the store!

This is the first time ida been downtown bar dancingness. And during the day perchance. and it is everything i dreamed of an more. Fashon Fashon everywhere. even the littlest kids. for real real. im jealous and i wish i were them, cos i wasnt nearly as cool as them at my tender age.

haha the best part came when a little old lady scold nick cos he wanted to take a pic of her dried up octopus. not a euphamism although im sure ill find a way of throwing it into a conversation at some point its too good not too. anywhos.

so ive been gutted that i had to leave 95% of my wardrobe behind at home and well now im dressing like an old maid - cos it was mainly school clothes that i had to keep in my bag as they made me unpack at the airport. damn you. i shake my fist in defiance. still!! *can you see me waving it*

But then Happiness hit me like a train on a track. Much the way florence describes it in the below music vid.
UNIQLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
UNIQLOOOOOO
UNIQLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

if nick hadnt been there and if i didnt have a rep to protect id be rolling around in the store making naughtly noises. it was that good. ive been out of uniqlo territory for about 6months and well my bloom was fading but now the will to live has returned.

While im perving on clothes, nick is making the most of the short shorts and high heels. hahaha. look but dont touch!

anywho we are due to meet the rest of the april crew shortly and we dash off, grabbing some awesome smoothins on the way, really fresh and its the best thing ive had all day. hangovers and my stomach dont agree. i like dry crackers and tea - thatll do me.

haha anywho we meet the others and we are off for what in retrospect was an amazing night.
