I Want to See the World

This weekend, I was cleaning out my old binders... and I happened to find a piece of paper I wrote on naming all the places I want to see in the world! I think this was sometime in February of 2008. I remember I was taking World History in my Sophomore year... and I was inspired to travel around the world to go sight-seeing and experience new cultures and activities! Here is exactly what I wrote on that piece of paper (in alphabetical order, haha) :)

LOL. Some of that stuff is random! I'd like to make a few changes, and add tons more to that list. Hahaha. ^-^* It's interesting to reflect back on the things going on in my mind last year! I guess I still haven't changed all THAT much. I still want to see most of those places. Gee, I really enjoy traveling, going sight-seeing, taking pictures, and learning about new cultures. :] Especially ASIAN CULTURE! ^__^; I'd be content enough if I can cross of ten places on that list! I guess I have to edit that list first, huh?! I'll write a blog in the future with my updated list-- don't worry about that! HAHA! :]

For now... I'm gonna end my blog here. =) SAYOUNARA!

Korean Obsession <3

I've always had a little obsession with Korean culture, language, music, dramas etc. =) From time to time, I'd watch a Korean drama and become crazy over it; I always end up downloading its OSTs (Original Soundtracks) and looking up the actors/actresses profiles on DramaWiki. xD Hahaha. But then I'd get preoccupied with school and my obsession would die down a bit... UNTIL I watch another Korean Drama! *;] LOL. This time, I'm going GA-GA over the Korean version of "Meteor Garden" & "Hana Yori Dango" --- BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS!

I actually like this version better since the main guy (in this case, Joon Pyo) is less violent compared the the main guys in the Taiwanese & Japanese version. HOWEVER, I don't really like the actress who played the main girl--- her look just doesn't fit in with the character's role. x_x" Ugh, but whateverrr. This drama is still AWESOME! I highly recommend to watch it! ^__^;

-------------------------------------------------

On the other hand, this past week I've been going crazy over DBSK (TVXQ/Tohoshinki). I've always been a fan of them, but I think recently I've become a BIGGER FAN ever since their new Japanese single Survivor. :) I watched their Banjun episodes this entire week and I also watched a bunch of YouTube videos of them on Korean and Japanese game shows. Hahahaha, I think... they are my new obsession. *;] They'll have their 4th Japanese album come out on March 25th! OMG, I WANT TO BUY IT SO BAD! xD

The price is sooo expensive though. >_<" One day, SOME day, I'm going to buy all of their albums. Hahahaha. That's actually pretty lame since their music is all over the internet anyway. BUT HEY! I want to show my support for them. ^-^* Hehe. OH that reminds me! They're going on a live tour to Japan this spring! x_x* I wanted to go to their concert sooo bad; I mean I already LIVE IN JAPAN. >_<" But the closest concert-venue is in Sendai which is four-five hours away by car OR in Sapporo which is an ISLAND away. Hahaha, grrrreat. -__-' Maybe next time! *crosses fingers* Mannn, the DBSK members are extremely very talented, good-looking Koreans! (I love all of them! But my favorite is still Yunho... then Jaejoong, Changmin, Junsu, & Yoochun) SARANGHAE DONG BANG SHIN KI!

-------------------------------------------------

So anywayyyy. Today my dad left to go to Hawaii. How lucky of him! I miss that place soooo much! =( I think I'm going to ask him to buy me a Korean language book. :D They don't have any good ones at the book store on base. >_<" Grawr. I also miss the Korean food I always buy in Hawaii. THAT WAS SOO YUMMY! (; I should learn how to cook Korean food that way I don't have to constantly crave it! Lol... I want to travel to South Korea one day. =) I wish I'll marry a Korean guy one day... or a Japanese guy... or some Asian guy... hahaha, I have to remember: THIS IS REALITY! Lol... it's funny to have an obsession, huh? c[;* At least, it keeps my life entertaining! Hehe ^-^*

Alright. This is the end of my "Korean Obsession" blog... hahahaha! o(^-^)o ANNYEONG!
