Beautify Me!!!

My obsession with Korean Beauty has been satisfied thanks to an amazing youtuber called Koreaboo Beauty!!! Let's get Sheetfaced y'all!!!

So this amazing lady sent me her Spring Box for free (FREE!!!) I met her at the Toronto Kpop Con and she asked if I would be interested in it and of course I said YES!!

She gives in-depth reviews of the Korean products too and her blog is soo useful when it comes to information about the beauty products!

In the Spring pack, I received a Toner, Cleanser, Tea Mask, Eyeliner, Eye Mask, and a Snail Mask! (I will be do separate entries reviewing the products after using them for a week or so) :P

I was not expecting to receive that much and I held myself back from actually looking at the products online so that it would be a surprise when I filmed my unboxing video (which I am in the middle of editing now!)

I definitely would not mind to receive her other boxes in the future, and I have been telling all my friends, susbcribers and followers on instagram about her because it is amazing what she does and the deal is the best one I have seen yet!

And guys.... She's so professional she has her own website... I mean I've had my blog for a while now and I don't use a custom URL or anything of that sort!

I have been using all the products (with the exception of the masks just because I am saving them) for almost a week now and my skin is feeling a lot smoother now!!!

Koreaboo Beauty definitely Beautified Me!!!!!

My ultimate Kpop Ship!

So "ships" refers to 2 kpop celebrities that I want to date soo badly, and when I match 2 celebrities together it is referred to as "shipping"

So here is my Ultimate Ship!!!!

Song Ji Hyo and Kang Gary! (AKA Monday Couple!)

\
Okay who seriously doesn't love the chemistry between these two Running man members?? I mean honestly my day is made whenever they have a moment in a Running man episode!



There's even an episode where all the cast members are asked to pick between Ji hyo and a different female celebrity guest, and Gary goes to Ji hyo without hesitation!! How sweet!!



They were partnered up in a recent Running man episode and were asked to pick either Money or their partner, and if they both picked money they would win a huge prize. BUT! as cute as they are, they both picked each other and melted the hearts of all the fans!



Ji hyo is partnered with someone else on a Chinese version of We Got Married, but hey! No rules against shipping Monday couple still :D

My process of learning a Korean Song....

So I do sing Korean songs, but they take me forever to know because of many reasons..

I don't want to butcher the Korean language or you know... accidentally swear....



And... You know I happen to actually have a low singing voice, so if I attempt to sing girl group songs it ends quite hilariously..



Another thing is that I usually begin learning a Korean song by listening to it in 0.5 or 0.75 speed... which distorts the song a fair bit... And I usually end up learning the chorus first so everything else sounds like a made up language until I practice enough...



Finally! When I have learned the whole song and am content with it, I record it! But there are some strange questions because I am white... and singing in Korean.... And then there are some strange reactions from Koreans and other people who know me....



But all in all, the process of learning a song is quite fun, and singing in a different language is extremely hard but I feel really happy when I sing in Korean. Granted sometimes at competitions I will spend my performance worrying about mispronouncing the lyrics, or not giving enough emotion in the song, but HEY! It pays off when it comes to karaoke!

Inner Fangirl In Me

Okay so probably on the outside I say "Oh I'm just a fan of K-pop, but I'm not obsessed..." literally though 80% of the songs in my phone are Korean lol
HEY! They aren't all K-pop though ;)
But recently my current favourite rookie group MAMAMOO came back... and OMG I fangirled soo much!!!!
And Koreaboo has this "can we guess which idol is your true love?"
and okay I admit I was hoping for someone from MBLAQ (cough cough, Seungho...) but hey I got TOP from Big Bang!! Ya'll I'd definitely be okay with dating TOP!
But yea my inner fangirl has been going crazy with a bunch of comebacks and releases from some of my favourite artists, plus with the release of these cute quizes how can I stay calm??
Hopefully I'll meet some idols in my dream tonight ;)

Finally a break...

Ohmigosh you guys have no idea how busy I've been...
Literally I haven't had a day of rest in like 3 weeks ㅠ.ㅠ
Between studying for midterms, completing assignments, practising, attempting to meet friends, and networking... it is safe to say I'm tired haha
One of the events I planned with a friend is going on tomorrow November 26th from 6:30pm-9pm, it's a nice de-stresser for everyone to attend, and we have all the food ready!
On that note... I am currently hoarding the food in my residence since I live the closest, and I must say it is hard not snacking on them... (especially the Korean snacks).
I attempted to start writing for an online magazine earlier this year where I would basically write about K-pop or Kdramas.... But what they didn't mention is that there is a lot of stuff I can't write about, and that they need to approve what I'm writing beforehand if it's about an event or something.... -_-
I knew I would quit sooner or later because my articles never seemed to gain the exposure I had first intended and I was told the reason was that I didn't interact with my audience. Truth be told, interacting with audience is something which shouldn't be done a lot in online articles as they usually go to read reviews about stuff they aren't sure about.
I was told I should've promoted my own articles more on my social media, and that for me was clarification that it wasn't going to work out. I started writing separate from my social media so that I could make a name for myself from scratch, and also introduce myself as a serious article writer. I told no one that I was writing for a magazine because if word got out then eventually some people would read it because "I" wrote it, not for the content itself.
I have amazing fans and friends who like all my instagram pictures, who watch all my youtube videos, etc. and I love them for that, but when it comes to writing I would've rather people read it because they were interested or curious in the topic I was writing about, not just because "I" wrote it.
This is a longer entry I know haha but I wanted to make up for my lack of posts and busyness lately!
I'll probably keep writing and such, but instead of posting it on the online magazine I will post here because it is something I enjoy to do, so I hope that when you read my articles you read them because they are interesting, or because you are curious.

Clip of the Day: You guys know my obsession (sorta) with Korean tv Shows? well there is this show called "Oh My Baby" 오마이베이비  on SBS and there is this one child 주안 who is the cutest thing ever!

Welp

so much for posting everyday lmao xD
Sorry bout that peeps, but I've been soo busy
I had a kpop contest show on friday, then saturday I held a halloween party
I met some super talented people at the kpop contest and I'm hopefully going to be able to visit them in the future for hangouts
We all went out for kbbq after the contest and ate soo much, but it was only $16 for endless amounts of food!
Then I got back to my res around 12:30am and I started prepping for my halloween party ><
The "official" party didn't start until 10pm but we started early because people started to show up!
What I realized while I was there tho... lol I was the only white person... Not that I mind but it seemed as if they all forgot about my ethnicity lmao I guess when you speak Korean it counts you as being part Asian (according to them)

I did not drink a lot lol I wanted to make sure everyone got back safe so I decided to be the sober one out of my suite xD
I think the most amount of people we had was about 10-12, and the funny thing is that they were all either Engineers, or Computer Science... lmao then there was me, the linguistics, east asian studies, and immigrant studies person!

lol I bonded with some of the Koreans and Chinese peeps there over korean music, and I made some new friends who definitely cannot hold alcohol very well lmao

At least I will remember what happened that night xD
Oh btw I was Anna from Frozen, and my one suitemate was Olaf from Frozen xD

What what?!?!

Whew! 1 midterm down, only 2 more to go ㅠ.ㅠ yeayayayayay its almost over
My midterms tomorrow are 2-3pm and 6-7pm then afterwards I needa practice
I've got an 8 page essay due on monday at 5 too but that should be good I'll be working on it all night sunday and all day sunday!
Lets go astronomy and linguistics!
An all-nighter isn't too hard :P just give me coffee snacks and coffee!

Clip of the Day: favourite youtube channel buzzfeed!!!

So strangeeee

So if any one reading has friends of different ethnicities, can tell me if it's normal for that person of the different ethnicity to not have a full conversation with you when they are with people who have the same ethnicity as them ?? I mean I have a couple friends who say hi, but then that is literally it, and if I go to continue the conversation they seem to watch their friends' reactions ..
omg that is strange
but I'm sure they do not mean to be rude but it feels like I'm being excluded because I'm not a certain ethnicity, and honestly I do not care that much but it makes me question: O

Clip of the day; from Kpop star season 2! Raccoon boys!!!

Almost Forgot!

sooo I almost forgot but it's 11:24pm so technically it's still the 26th!!!!
Yeayyyyy *celebration time*
I'm in midterm/assignment season and omg sooo busy.
But I'm super excited for an event I have been working on with other executives of the Korea club!
What is going on is currently my University is in Korea Week!!! Yay! So the Korea club decided to plan a Running Man event! (jjang right? daebak!!!) And since I'm one of the main organizers I had to attend all the meetings and basically organize everything with the help of 2 other executives. One of the challenges is a Random Play Dance challenge and I had to create the music mixes for that so that each challenge of 1 minute had 4 songs in it, and then I also had to create rules for all the games, find volunteers, etc.... Sadly I'm taking a break and allowing my friends to finish up the final details ><

For now though I am attempting to write a 2 page essay on why Hsiang Tzu was unable to escape his poverty life.... Basically I need to get into the author  Lao She's mind.... Well I'm working hard on it so hopefully it turns out well!!! :)
Anyways... hmm for a clip of the day (or night technically)....
Here is a new girl group who just debuted! (the mv for the song is a bit creepy but the song is good!)

OMG

I'm so bad at this.... I promised to blog everyday but forgot to yesterday :O
ANYWAYS!
My youtube channel is going up in subscribers.... it may not seem like much since I am only at 65 subscribers but hey its good for me!
I film about 4 videos in one sitting, and each video takes about 1 hour each to edit.. So that's at least 4 hours I am putting into my youtube channel which is hard work since I'm also a full time student and also working with two clubs on the side
So Yay! plus 3 or 4 subscribers in 2 days. #accomplishment
Daily clip: here is a montage of my favourite Running Man member, Kwangsoo

Trees are Changing

It's fall... so obviously the trees are going to have their leaves start to change colours!
This is actually my favourite part of fall because of the new leaf colours. Yellow, Red and Orange!
Not my favourite colours for wardrobe (as most of my friends will be able to tell by looking at my mainly black and white items). But it's good for pictures; here are some pictures from my mom's phone. She took them back home last year at a place that her and my dad always go for walks!

Daily Clip? Well here is my favourite America's Got Talent Audition.

Something More?

After attending the first few classes of my second year in University, I can't help but feel like I can do something more with my life?
You know that feeling?
I started working as an executive of two different clubs and honestly I feel like I'm accomplishing wayyyy more than I expected this year.
It's nice to have some responsibility, and I get to do what I love at the same time.
It doesn't feel like a "job"per-sea but rather I'm not sure what to call it.
I enjoy planning new events for people with similar interests, and I like seeing the friendship that these events form.
I re-started this blog because I decided I would start fresh and new!
And I made myself promise to post at least once every other day! #wishmeluck

Anyways: Here is a video of the day
It's not pertaining to anything I mentioned above but I like it! It's a clip from one of my favourite Korean shows ^^
