It´s been a while since I´ve updated. So let me note down what I´ve missed since I came back from Japan and the DBSK concert in a couple of posts. Actually, before the DBSK concert, some other things happened. I´m actually using my facebook to make sure I will not miss any events (if I did something that’s worthy of sharing, I put it on my facebook).

On November 8th, we decided to go to the Seoul Lantern Festival which is at Gwanghwamun. When we walked out of the station, a mass of people surrounded this particular building and apparently also a red carpet. Of course we were curious and decided to figure out what was going on. It didn’t take long until I figured out Block B would visit and have an interview at Channel A. Of course, I’d want to see Block B so we decided to split up. Xia Qing would wait with me and Zou Yun and some others went to the lantern festival. In the end, Qing and I waited for more than an hour, but hey, we got to see Block B! We were standing next to the red carpet in the beginning so as soon as they got out of the car (Kyung wanted to go out a bit too early but the bodyguards went like; NO! GO BACK INSIDE! /closes door on his foot/) they were walking past us. They are really handsome. :Q_




I thought we would leave right after, but nope. We decided to just watch them do the interview. And if that ever got broadcasted and they showed the audience outside… the red head.. yeah, that’s me. Afterwards we went to the Seoul Lantern Festival (Qing and me), but we didn’t meet the others. We did see a crap load of couples though. Oh goodie, another couple place huh? The festival was nice, it reminded me of the one in Jinju (obviously) but really, the amount of couples could get a bit annoying. Oh well, we enjoyed ourselves and I’ve been staring at flower lantern lamps for quite some time and ended up not buying one. (Few weeks later; I bought one!)






Have you ever heard of Pepero Day? Pepero Day is a holiday in Korea that happens on November 11th. Instead of me explaining it, I will just give you the nice Wikipedia description as it’s pretty easy to understand.

 “Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine's Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date "11/11" resembles four sticks of Pepero. The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts.” 

Oh would you look at that. Another thing for couples! This day was on a Sunday and at first I thought I’d give some pepero to friends and all. In the end, I just stayed home and avoided the entire holiday. Around this time, I also was in quite the lonely/forever alone mood. Seoul makes you realize when you’re single. Just a warning for whoever wants to come here and is single. I am okay being single for all my life because I don’t know how it feels otherwise, but hey, I can get lonely too when wherever you look are couples. But enough of my lonely ranting, let’s carry on!!

(I don't have pictures of Pepero Day because well... uhh, I could've taken pictures of the lovely stands but I didn't so, google if you must.)

On November 13th, Tuesday, I actually walked up the frickin hill that is SKKU campus for my sociology class. My teacher didn’t show up. Some of us actually stayed in the classroom and drew on the board. (Read: Olivia and I drew on the board.) That was our form of rioting against the cancelled class without notice! (The class is about social movements. Get it? Hah! -_-)
That evening, I had my other class Counseling Psychology and that teacher actually showed up. Even better, she showed up with a big box full of smaller boxes of Pepero for everyone! I love her, she’s adorable. Such a thoughtful person. I will definitely miss her when I leave.

And let me finish this part with how my hair blends with the fall colors. (Because around that time, trees still had leaves.)



Next up: M!Countdown on November 15th! And visiting some famous cafes on November 17th. And maybe some more, it depends. :)
