Sometimes I Wish My Life is a Korean Drama

Or just any random TV drama for that matters (but Korean dramas are prettier, lol). I mean... You see, I have this story to tell so prepare your popcorn and coke and sit like a good girl that you are...

I can't believe I actually do write this, lol... it's just that... I have to get it off of my chest. I went grocery shopping yesterday, and I met like the cutest manly guy I've ever seen randomly in one of the aisles. This is going to be soooo cheesy but since the first time I laid eyes on him I know I was interested in him. 

Now, it doesn't mean I want to bang him right then and there but you know... I think my eyes went sparkly and I went red and I guess I felt like a 15 year old girl with a crush all over again.

It's been looooooong since the last time I actually fell for a guy, not that I fell for him already during the first few seconds I saw him, heck I didn't even know him; but as I've said, I was interested, very much, thank you.

But what are the chances of me coming up to him and start a conversation? Guess what? Zero. I mean, wait... we did converse a little. He said "excuse me," because I was standing in the middle of the aisle (and I did it intentionally, psstt...) and I said, "Ah, yeah..." and moved. HEY! At least we conversed!!!  

Now this annoys me, because who was the one saying "So you have this a little tiny bit too huge crush on that guy across the room? So you want to be close to him? Where do you think staring will take you? Nowhere, yes. So move your lazy ass off and say hi to him and let the magic works."? Me. And who got chickened out when the situation happened? Yours truly, yes.

I seriously feel like kicking some tables right now, I should've been braver. Because it was clear he knew I was stalking staring from afar, heck he even caught me off guard a few times and I was just standing there like a stupid fish with a silly face. But at the same time, the idea of coming up to him and start a conversation still sounds ridiculously absurd even until now. We're strangers for goodness sake! But then again, I was once strangers with my ex too. *starts kicking doors and flipping tables*

ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

I mean, look... I don't know who he is, and chances are maybe he already has a girlfriend, but who cares about that? The point here is that I had proven that things are always easier said than done and that I'm a chicken.

(´ヘ｀;)

Now if only my life is a Korean drama, I would be given a second chance, he would find this blog and read this post and we would somehow miraculously meet again (don't ask me how, that's what happened in Korean dramas!) and ta-daahhh happily ever after.

Unfortunately, my life isn't a Korean drama, and I'm not a Korean actress, well, I'm not even a Korean in the first place.

Moral of the story is: next time you find a cute random guy whose face you think you can't take off of your mind even after 24 hours, find an excuse to talk to him, just anything; economy, politics, whatever! Just so you won't regret things. *sighs* (+_+)

p.s. and isn't it so appropriate that the grocery shop decided to play "Falling in Love at a Coffe Shop" by Landon Pigg yesterday? I mean, yeah... -I think that possibly maybe I'm falling for you...- gotta change the title to "Falling in Love at a Grocery Shop", though.

p.p.s. I guess if they played "Call Me Maybe" I might as well flipped the cashier, lol.

p.p.p.s. And how does finding things like this on Tumblr help me? *flips tables for the many times on this post*

A Friendly Reminder

Get dirty, get fucking filthy, get poor, get off your ass, get desperate, get dangerous, get ville, get romantic, get fucked, get moving, get productive, get proactive, get your own life, get doing something, ANYTHING. 

Because before you know it, you're 40 with kids, a mortgage and responsibilities that cause your fun to come second. 

So before cancer, before children, before 50 hours work weeks, before back and knee problems, before school loans, before you lose your sense of humor...

FIGHT 

Fight and fuck and run and smile 

Smile because the older you get, the less you will 

So yes, quit being such a goddamn pussy, because bitching and whining and worry never make anything better. 

I was reading my old post and found this, and so far, this is still my favorite reminder. Because this is so true, and because hell, just do whatever you want to do goddamnit!

So you have money and want to run away somewhere you have no idea about? Turkey? Mongolia? Russia? New Guinea? GO!

So you can sing and want to create a band? DO IT! So you have this a little tiny bit too huge crush on that guy across the room? So you want to be close to him? Where do you think staring will take you? Nowhere, yes. So move your lazy ass off and say hi to him and let the magic works.

Who cares if you made mistakes? That's how you learn anyway, you'll make mistakes either way. You'll get hurt, you'll be lied to, you'll lie, you'll regret things, you'll cry silently, you'll cry out loud, you'll be angry, you'll fall, but most importantly, you'll survive and learn and get better.

Enjoy your life because you know you only live once and the only way you can do about it is to live it to the fullest. Because like they said, in the end the things you'll regret are those you didn't dare to do. So do it! DO freaking it!

show off time!

I've been wanting to write something here but I was forced to write something somewhere else. And by that, I mean my thesis, lol. and this is going to be a very short post because I just want to show something off.

Here it is!

You see that capitalized ACC there? YES!

FINALLY! After buckets of bloods and tears and sweats (okay, not really). FINALLY my thesis that's talking about illegal downloading and CD sales and idolatry and K-pop(!) is accepted! Now all that's left is to do the final test and I will be a Master in business and management! (not literally, I think... I mean... well...).

Anyway, that's all. Lol, yes really. I just wrote to show off hahahahahahahahahaha~ 

(≧◡≦)

Now pray hard for me and my final test next month, hohohohoho~

(man, this post is pointless, isn't it?)

A Box Full of Art

Yes, a huge box in a shape of a building called Artbox

Or in another word: My favorite place in Seoul, ever. I think I've shown some pictures about it but haven't really talked about it. A place filled with adorable stationary goods, I can spend a day there just looking at everything and feel happy. In fact, I did go there one day and just enjoyed everything and came back the next day to repeat the activity.

It's crazy.

Crazy.

This is a place where I can go insane just looking at the pretty pictures in the cover of the stationary, and opening the pages and feel even more inspired and crazier, and then looking around and realize that there are still rows of notes, and diaries, and planners I've yet to touch, and it doesn't only contain notes, it has all stationary goodies you're looking for, or maybe even not looking for but you'll find it there anyways.

In short, this is my heaven, I mean, look at all those goodies winking at me and tempting me to touch them! Oh the temptation! And do you know the hardest part? It's that I spent hours (literally) just to choose which one I want to buy because clearly this poor young lady couldn't buy everything (because I still have to buy makeup and dresses, you know, lololololol). 

It'd be nice if someday I can see my artwork there too. I mean, almost all the stationary has the artists' name on it. Which is seriously adorable, seriously. I've said that Korean-style art is one of my favorite, they seem to have this certain dose of cuteness with their pastel colored illustrations and stuff. Of course there are differences between artists but I can always tell when it's a Korean artist.

By  the way, why do I suddenly bring this topic up? (1) Because I'm in dire need of new notebooks, worse is I'm running out of my own notebook (means: notebook with my artwork on the cover), and (2) Maddie from Head High Heart Strong is currently having a giveaway with something from Artbox as one of the prizes. I shouldn't miss this huge opportunity now, should I? So you should join the fun too~! (~￣▽￣)~

I am so envious of her because she's currently in Korea while I'm still struggling to finish my thesis before I can finally run away from whatever shit I'm doing right now (oops! I just said bad words!). But really though, all these thesis-related stuff is killing me (╥_╥) I just wish I can finish everything soon.

AMEN.

Oh, and as I've said before, everything in Artbox is cute, including this sign~ which can be found outside the store. ^O^.

Up Close and Personal

I love writing, always. 

I love blogging even more, because I get to share my thoughts with everyone all over the world. How magical is that?

I am always amazed at the idea of blogging, sharing your life and stories and thoughts with someone you barely know, whom you may will never meet, whose life you know nothing about, yet you share your stories with them without a doubt.

It's like having a diary wide open for everyone to read, and for them to give their two cents, and for them to help you when you're troubled, to let them pats you on the back (virtually) when you've accomplished something, letting them lend their shoulders for you to cry on when you're utterly sad (again, virtually).

I'm always attracted to personal blogs the most. I love reading people's stories and thoughts, I love how they let me hear their stories, after a little while, I will get to know them better and it feels like we're friends although we never really meet in real life, eventually we'll become friends.

That's why I always love leaving a lengthy comment when I'm really interested with the posts, I want to let them know that I care, that I read their post and want to share my thoughts about it too, although I can't deny that some of the days I'm just too lazy to read, but usually when I don't read, I don't comment.

Something has been bugging me since yesterday, that some people just came and left a comment but turns out it was a "template comment" (as I usually call it). They leave a same comment in every blogs they visited saying something like "it's so cute!" or "I love it so much!" and leave their links, they don't even read what I wrote~! ;A;

I appreciate their effort to do some blog-walking and leave a comment (more like copy-pasted the comment everywhere), but really, I don't think it's a nice thing to do to promote your blog *sighs*.

But then again, maybe that's just me being someone who loves personal relationship better.

By the way, it's our dearest fellow blogger Krissy's Birthday today! Go ahead and congratulate her! She's one of the nicest bloggers out there who always reads your posts and leave a nice comment~ I love love love her! Hahaha..

In other news, I've been hearing how google is going to stop Google Readers and Google Friend Connect ((゜д゜;)) which freaks me out a little when I found out about it. But revived as I found the solution, follow me via bloglovin~! ^O^ just click on that pretty bloglovin banner on the side~. 

I honestly think it's a great loss from Google though. I love reading blogs through Google readers and I was kind of hoping it was an April fool's joke but apparently it isn't *sobs*.

AND! Me and my friend Nanette has decided to write  (and draw) a zine. Yeeeey~ *throws confetti* (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ we're writing on it right now. It'll be a simple one since it's our first time doing it, and I have to say, all thanks to Toizelle and her blog post about zines that remind me about this little project me and Nanette had talked about last year, lol. (We talked about it and forgot, typical).
