#69 peperO day

11.11.o9

its pepro day! apparently a long time ago these school students started exchanging pepero on november 11 (cos it looks like 4 pepero sticks) then lotte (who makes pepero) decided to turn it into a holiday haha.

a week or 2 before pepero day, the shops and streets are full of pepro.. u can buy them already made, or u can buy kits and make them yourself.. its not only for couples but students give it to their teachers and friends also.

my students gave me pepero =]

today my school had a sports day... it was all the grades against each other.. it was fun for me cos sports day here is soo different to back home. they played games that were weird and very funny (as in not real sports, they were like walking on each others back and throwing the small students up in the air all the way to the end to win.. thats weird)

some of the homerooms even made t shirts.. some had superman shirts, one class showed up in hospital clothes (they were the patients, their homeroom teacher was the doctor) haha

#65 chuseOk

walking to muiido

hiking suraksan

chuseok weekend! everyone had about 4-5 days off (incl weekends) .. my friends and i decided to explore incheon for chuseok.. on friday morning we all met up in incheon and went to china town to have lunch.. it was ok.. wasnt as good as we expected.. then after that we headed to wolmi do - its a place by the sea that has a fair and lots of food. we played there for a while then left and went to some exhibition of the future.. i have no idea what it was about but it was fun.

later on in the night we headed to bupyeong (where my sassy girl was filmed) we found a motel, checked in then went out to eat.. to a few bars.. it wasnt all that great some half of us headed back to the hotel early.

the following morning we decided to go island hopping, we headed back to wolmi do and took a ferry to the island where the aiport is on.. we got off, took another bus and that took us to the water.. it was sooo nice here.. we walked when the sun was setting and it was really nice just to be by the sea.

we finally made it to muuii-do .. now that i think back to it.. i dont really know why we went cos there really wasnt much on this island .. lol after eating and walking around we headed back to the airport island and took a bus straight to the airport... it was hard trying to decided what to do but eventually we all got on a bus and headed to my area.

ron and sam have never been up north to my area b4.. we took them to amusing world where we sang and played ping pong and wii.. at abt 2am.. we took a taxi back to my house and they crashed at my place.

the following day we met up with moises in uijeongbu, had lunch then went hiking mt suraksan! out of all the mountains i've climbed, suraksan was the best.. it was sooo tiring but totally worth it.. the views were sooo amazing. after the the hike, we met up with kenny at VIPS, had dinner then everyone went home.

on monday, i met up with thuy in myeongdong and we went shopping! it was a good shopping day but i spent and bought soooo much.. it was really hard going home on the packed trains with all my shopping bags haha

it was a good chuseok weekend =)
( i read this post and it totally sucks.. i think cos im in a hurry, i have classes in 15 mins and im trying to rush it hahah sorry.)

every year, korea holds an asian song festival.. artist from all over asia come and perform.. we got to go to this year for free =)

all we had to do was go online.. register and print out tickets.. it was fun =)

we got there really early that morning.. like at 11 and there were ppl there already.. we were told that we they wont let us in til 3pm so we left and went to itaewon for lunch. after that we headed back to the stadium (why lunch took 4 hours i have no idea). when we got there was it was soooo packed.. the line was huge! we eventually got in and got our seats.. the concert was good, i was happy to see big bang and 2ne1 perform =]

after that we all headed to apgujeong, went to monkey beach again. it wasnt fun for me this week cos i'd gone the week earlier for my bday.. i kinda just sat outside and waited for everyone else to finish.. at about 4am a few of us went to a net cafe and just played til the subway started.

it was a tiring day =/

#63 my birthdaY & star sighting #3

me and se7en <3

every year when my birthday comes around i get lazy and dont wanna do anything. i don't know why? anyways, this yr i decided to go out .. nothing big.. just to eat and then whatever after. we started in gangnam, had dinner at hooters which was ok.. wasnt as good as i expected but now i can say i've been to hooters haha. after that we headed to monkey beach in apgujeong... seems that everytime i go to this bar i get really wasted lol.. this time not as bad as the first time when i got so drunk and dissapeared at 11pm haha.

we played at monkey beach til like 330 am ish.. after that we went for a walk around apgujeong to wait for the subway to start.. while we were walking these girls in front of us stopped and were making a big fuss cos of someone that had just walked past us.. i asked them who it was and they said it was TOP from big bang! i was so shocked (cos im a big bang fan). i wanted to run into the restaurant that he's just gone into (actually i did go in like half way) but felt weird so i came back out again. about 5 mins later another person came out and the girls told me it was se7en! i nearly died hahaha.. im a HUGE se7en fan since like forever. so i told hector and he grabbed me and made me go say hi to se7en (se7en was at his car getting something out). we got up to him and i said hello.. we talked to him for a bit, asked for a photo but he said no (maybe afraid of scandals i don't know) then we just said have a nice night and he went back into the restaurant.

after that hector got really excited (cos hector is a big MJ fan and the only thing he knows abt se7en was that once se7en did an MJ performance) and he wanted to camp outside the rest to see them again.. after half an hour he passed out so we left and went to burger king, ate then went home.

it was a good bday lol

T-Express.. my favourite ride!

marlin & i

moises & jane

this ride got us all soooo wet

none of us understood the last line of this (will)

the music show

our safari bus!

dancing bears =)

everland show

ok first off... SORRYYYYYY =( i know its been agess since i last wrote something on here.. after my last post on august 27 school started and i was just soooo busy and totally had no time to even upload photos into my comp.

anyways.. so this will be a BIG update (hopefully).

on the last weekend of august, my friends and i decided to go to everland! i was really looking forward to this =). on friday night we all met up in gangnam.. had dinner then just went to a few bars.. at about 11 we all jumped on the express bus and headed to rons place. we dropped off our stuff when we got there then took a taxi to suwon. suwon is soooo nice, i really liked it, its still a little far from seoul (prob same distance as my place to seoul) but the city of suwon is hugee and theres so much to do there.

we walked around and looked for clubs but they were all gay.. it was kind of dissapointing, at rons we all just slept, woke up the next day and headed to everland! although ron lives in the same city, it took foreverrr to get there.

anyways we finally got there at about 11am and started exploring.. everland wasnt what i expected.. it was huge but there wasnt that much to do (it was all for little kids) the best ride was the t-express, i LOVED it.. we went on it a few times.. took ron on it and i think he got the most scared out of all of us haha

we also went to the animal safari which was really cool, we got to see real bears dancing right next to our bus!!

#61 staR sighting #2

hyung joon, shindong and brian!

people went up to ink their thumbs on the board

theres me going up to ink my thumb.. im the one right in the middle in the blue jacket

giving out water bottles

hector ran after shindong when he was leaving the station

yesterday (26.o8) hector, moises, kenny and i went to uijeongbu to eat popeyes... after a few hours there we headed back to the station and went home.. on the way up we saw alot of people crowded around one area so i ran there to see what was going on.. the first person i recognised was shindong from super junior! i had no idea what he was doing there but stayed and watched anyways... afterwards i realised the other guy was hyung joon from ss501! although im not a big fan of these 2 bands (im a big 2pm and big bang fan) i stayed to watched anyways cos it was exciting!

i like ss501 but only the leader (hyun joong... too bad the one that i met was hyung joon... confusing o.O). the other guy that was in the blue shirt is brian from fly to the sky! i use to like fly to the sky (when they were popular) but im not that big of a fan anymore.. they have good songs though.

anyways they were there promoting a show or something.. it had to do with the environment.. they spoke for a bit and then got people to come up.. grab a bottle of water and then ink your thumb with green paint and then print it on this poster of a tree with no leaves (which means ur thumb print is the leaf).

i went up there and did it! i had no idea what to do so i was speaking english to them.. brian heard me and after when i did it, he handed me a poster and was like here you go.. hehe afterwards he spoke some english about what was going on.. i couldnt really hear the words clearly but his english was perfect!

anyways just as we were about to leave and get the train, they finished and headed off... hector like ran after them and got a photo of shindong about to run down the stairs..

this star sighting made my day =) it was a crappy day cos it was raining ALL day and i didnt wanna go out afterwards but im glad i did.. i hope one day i can meet the boys from 2pm!

DIPPING DOTS!!! this is actually ICECREAM!! it was so cool

HAHA i loved this ride.

this ride called desperados.. u get on a horse and u have a gun and a huge screen in front of you.. the horse starts to rock and u have to compete with everyone in the room and shoot the bad guys that come on the screen.. this was fun!

these girls came to lotteworld in their pajamas haha

lotteworld parade!

the donkey prize... u insert $1 and it shits out a prize... i tried to catch it with my hat but it was too fast.. it was just a gay candy anyways -_-

me on the giraffe ride.. it was sooooo slow... but so fun!

walking to magic island at night time... cinderella castle!

on sunday august the 16th moises and i decided to go to lotteworld. its a themepark that is located in seoul. our other friends have either been or didnt wanna go so we thought we should go since it was a good day and we had nothing to do.

anyways so on sunday morning we left quite early and got to lotteworld around 10am. bought tickets (31,000won) and headed inside. Lotteworld is a big indoors themepark.. its huge and even has a rollercoaster that runs through it... it also leads outside to magic island which has a big cinderella castle that lights up at night time, it was pretty cool.

We had a mission that day and that was to do everything at lotteworld.. first was the balloon ride.. u get into a fake hot air balloon and it takes you around so u can see the whole themepark from high above. it was a very very long ride but it was heaps of fun.

After that, we set off from floor to floor and went on all the rides on every floor.. some were fun... others were just gay.. we also went and saw most of the shows.. 4d, ghost, musical, water and fire, dynamic theater etc.

after we finished inside.. we headed outside... it was sooo hot... outside had the coolest rides.. the atlantis and gyro drop was my favourite... it was a big thrill and i love thrills so i enjoyed it heaps.. i went on the gyro drop like 3 times!

anyways we also saw the parade which was really fun.. most of the people were not even korean... they were like south americans!

after a long day we decided to leave at 9pm.. we spent a total of 11 hours at lotteworld! how crazy.
