anywho so then he falls for this other girl. but his previousl girlfriend got preggers by him and dumps his 5yr old kid on his door step. if the public finds out hell be ruined. so he passes the kid off as his housecleaners and well he dont want the kid so he ignores it. to make things worse shes mute and well drama.

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!

anywho i live about 20min from the rink and i decide to walk there thinking i can always take a bus. hmmm confusion. no bus seems to go in that direction and well im late and i rush so i hope into a taxi. sidenote: ive never felt so pampered riding in taxi cabs all day. hahaha but they are soo cheap and affordable.

right make it to the site. and im like wtf. its at the world cup stadium and there is a lotte outlest - a reallllllly big ass mall and im like i want a donut. Dunkin donuts.

i find my way to the rink and well these two are not there. and there are no payphones or so i think. i head inside to see if theyr there. and im like shit. im just gonna wait. loads of cute kids. you dont even understand how cute korean kids are. i aint seen any ugly ones yet!!!! thery all like helloooooo! nice to meet you.

right its an hour and well i could still be in bed pondering stuff - like cake and clouds and staring out of windows. hahaha. but i go back in to ask for help and low and behold there is a payphone right there. wierd. i call em and then they arrive.
