Noona in Korea

[092716] 

It’s my birthday and I just had the KPOP-est birthday surprise EVER! *I seriously thought I’m a closeted kpopper*

My team asked me to go to our training room. When I got there they were singing happy birthday in Korean. A  video of the lyrics was playing too. They sat me down *I swear it was so awkward. As an introvert I felt like sinking that moment* and I just listened to them sing. Then the music ended. Suddenly, BTS’ DOPE MV started playing! O.O *Only Namjoon’s part tho. One of my tutors appeared and was holding a sash that say’s NAMJOON’s GIRL. I bursted in laughter!! I was so excited my face turned freaking RED! They only played Namjoon’s part then the video went to a static ....... then another video of Namjoon played *the birthday video he posted just recently* it has FAKE SUBS!! It was like a video message for me. Then another tutor was wearing a freaking NAMJOON MASK and pretend kissed me!!! HAHHA. I was so freaking happy because of all the effort they put. My heartu ... my heartu ....

They handed me a gift (A murakami book) and all their letters to me written in black papers. At the back of the notebook is Namjoon’s photo! hahaha.

I went back to my station and saw some balloons with saitama’s face (I have a resting bitch face) and my they changed my computer’s wallpaper with a picture of Namjoon and me. 

I swear, two of my tutors know that JIMIN is my UB but I don’t know what the universe played and they made it a Namjoon themed birthday surprise. 

*i’m listening to EMPTY while typing this.. TT_TT* 

**My friend and I aren’t really a big fan of iKon but funny because when we got to Korea we can’t stop singing iKon’s AIRPLANE.*

Our flight’s in the afternoon so we woke up early. We paid Myeongdong one last visit and bought breakfast. While waiting for our healthy sandwich to be made I ran to Daiso to buy some “Pasalubong” for my aunts that I forgot to buy. I bought coffee on my way back. [10AM] I had to RUN from Myeongdong to our guesthouse because I thought my friend went back already only to find out she was waiting for me beside the store. Anyway. We had to take the subway going to the airport (NAMSAN OFFERS A RIDE TO THE AIRPORT WE SHOULD HAVE AVAILED THAT INSTEAD) since our human GPS went home yesterday we got a bit lost inside the subway. While on the train to Incheon airport, I saw in our tickets that we should have been in the airport before 11:30. Time check 10:55 and there are like 11 stations before the airport. (THE HORROR!!) We got off the train and started RUNNING. (DAMN! I still have to load my T-Money!) We were running hoping that our flight gets delayed. Huhuhuhu. While running (Imagine us holding paper bags and dragging our heavy luggage. we heard people screaming... My friend who was in front of me stopped running then looked back at me. Her eyes wide open and mouthed “I-K-O-N” then I looked. There were so many fans I was still running so I wasn’t really able to register in my mind that I’m seeing idols. (GAWD JUNHOE YOU SEXY BOY!!!) We didn’t really stop to stare at them boys because we really want to catch our flight but.… ♪I miss the airplane.…♪ We had to book a flight back to manila. ugh. I had a roller coaster first out of the country experience. My friend and I experienced a series of unfortunate events before our trip but everything changed when we got to Korea. We felt like the Luckiest fangirls. We didn’t see our first bias group, Bigbang, but we were blessed to see our second most loved group Winner. Not just that! We were able to see iKon too! Kkkk. We actually promised that our journey to Kpop will end after our Korea trip. C’mon, we noonas need our lives back boys. Kkk. Kpop saved us from all the stress from work. Inspired us to be fit and to better ourselves. It sounds cheesy right? But it’s true. It was fun being part of this world but we gotta go~~ 

aaaww. Today is our human navigator's flight back to manila. TT_TT Her flight in the evening so we still have time to visil N Seoul Tower which was just like a 5 minute walk from our guesthouse. 

*how many did last tho? got fascinated with these old locks.*

*The Cherry Blossoms are blooming... spring is coming~ <3*

We were so early~~ kkk. We bought some locks and looked for a spot to put it. Roamed around the place and shouted WALANG FOREVER. nah, just joking. 

We then went to lotte mart to buy pasalubongs. We were a bit weirded out because people were carrying they luggage which we find weird? Oh, little did we know.  BRING YOUR PASSPORT WHEN YOU GO HERE. They need it for the tax refund. 

BRING YOUR EMPTY MALETA(luggage) too. Why? Because you have to pack your own  grocery! Since we bought a lot. We also have no idea where to get paperbags, we just put it inside a box. WE HAD TO CARRY THE BOXES. RIDE THE TRAIN CARRYING THEM. But it was a really fun experience. 

We went back to the guesthouse and helped our friend pack. TT_TT 

So it's just the two of us left. here. in Korea. kkk. We went to myeongdong to have dinner. Where you asked? in YG REPUBLIQUE ofcourse. kkk. This time we ate in samgyori~ After eating we roamed around. IT. WAS. FREAKING. COLD. NEGATIVE. DEGREE. COLD. but that didn't stop us. We tried a lot of Korean street food. There was a kpop store inside the subway and we saw a WINNER LIGHTSTICK. there were only three left so we quickly bought them~ 

I think I slept around 4am because I kept watching the video I took of WINNER and the moment SEUNG YOON looked at me. I still crie. Dreams do come true.

*here you’ll see who the morning person is and who isn’t*

We had to wake up early this day because we plan on hunting a place to wear hanbok (I think your Korea trip will not be complete without trying out their traditional costume.) We had a quick breakfast in our guesthouse (PB&J)  and went straight to myeongdong.

A quick picture with the SONG TRIPLETS is a must. kkkk.

So we got into the place (myeongdong tourist center) and took a loooooot of photos because we're only allowed 10minutes to wear the dresses. I took the red one which I latter found out that GISAENG (Korean female entertainers) wear. kkk. We had so much fun. ommmo.

We then walked around myeongdong more looking for a place to eat when luck struck once AGAIN. Oh bless you papa YG. We saw YG REPUBLIQUE!!!

*Obligatory picture. kk* It has 3 sections. There's a cafe called 3 birds Coffee and Kitchen. K-Pub which is a 'PUB'. kkk. I love the interior there, and(Korean BBQ).

KPUB

There weren't any costumers when we went inside. The people working there are so, SO NICE. The prices are a bit on the expensive side, but they offer a wide range of food.

We decided to try out their burritos in 3birds and kitchen cafe~ While waiting, their head security allowed us to roam around the place. (Ajusshi is so nice TT_TT) We went to the second floor where K-pub is and I swear. It was YG heaven. (Okay, maybe I am exaggerating but WTH.) There was a wall where all YG artists signed. We had a "Where is **** sign game" Ze ajhussi can speak English so he tells us stories about the artists and stuff. (You are a blessing, ajusshi~~) After roaming around K-pub we went down to eat. The girl working at the cafe gave my friend 3 FREE BigBang CARDS (they are worth 10000won each) YG PEOPLE ARE SO NICE.

They have a “ALL THAT YG” corner where you can buy some merchs. We bought some Bigbang merch before leaving (The reversible MADE jacket was sold out too)

We then went straight to 동대문디자인플라자  (Dongdaemun Design Plaza) where they held their fashion shows. Ommo. The people there are all in high fashion. There were many photographers because of the HERA fashion event. My friend was holding an SLR and I think they thought she was an official photographer because one model I think gave her sweets. kkkk. We didn't stay long because we are all exited to go to WINNER's pop up store~~

We got to the pop up store and the merch we wanted (EVEN THEIR LIGHTSTICK) were all sold out so we just bought some cute pens.

we didn't waste anymore time and quickly left the mall and went to 이화 벽화마을 . We kinda got lost again but you will seriously wont mind getting lost in Korea. There are so many cool places and people you'll see. The only problem is that your feet will really die from all the walking. 

The mural village was a beauty! SERIOUSLY! There was a uniform rental where you can dress up as a 1963 Korean student. (there were couples in uniforms and they look so cute!) We rented uniforms and walked around the village wearing them. 

*we spent a good 10minutes using these exercise equipment. lol.*

We are the students your korean parents warned you about. kkkk.

After an hour of picture taking and walking, we then went to Insadong to meet my student, Amy, and have dinner~~ 

We went home early because my student still needs to study. kkk.

We got to the guesthouse around 11pm. While preparing to go to bed, I got a kakao message from one of my students and she said that she, and her parents are on their way to our guesthouse. OOOWAAAHHH~~ so we had to quickly change and wait for our student. We had out 2nd DINNER (we're hobbits in Korea.) in Itaewon. We at samgyupsal. Again. kkkk. It was so nice to get the chance to talk to my students and their parents. kkkk.

D-DAY! Epilogue in Manila~!

** I wasn’t really planning on making a blog post about the concert but this PCD is killing me I have to let it out. **

Friend’s Top 3: * YOONGI * TAEHYUNG *JUNGKOOK

My Top 3: * JIMIN * JUNGKOOK * NAMJOON

I slept around 12am and woke up 3ish? I had to go to my friend’s condo by 5am to prepare so I had to wake up early. Why so early? Because we were one of the lucky humans that got a PULP ROYALTY slot. So we wanted to look good when we get to see Bangtan up close and hightouch them. (the hightouch was a blur and it took me 4 days to realize why I don’t remember much about Namjoon and Hoseok during the hightouch. REASON? They were after JIMIN. I even got the line up wrong. Mr PARK JIMIN you killed me!) We left my friend’s place around 10ish and we have to be there by 11am!!

A quick selfie with le friend.

…After the blurry hitouch event .. (I seriously feel bad for not remembering much bout Namjoon and Hoseok … but my moment with Mr Park Jimin makes up for it. ^^)

We had lunch and the people at the table beside us were also Royalty tix holders and I kinda heard them say that they (like me and my friend) don’t remember all the members in the hightouch as well. You won’t really remember the member next to your bias. You will blank out. I’m sorry Namjoon and Hoseok. My mind’s not strong enough. Park Jimin killed me. Huhu.

We have a lot of time because the concert starts at 6pm so I decided to go get new glasses. (I need to see Jimin’s abs HD tho I’m not really a fan of them. I like squishy ChimChim.)

Before con selfie

We finally got inside the EM-OH-EY arena. I DID NOT EXPECT OUR SEAT TO BE THAT CLOSE TO THE EXTENDED STAGE. OMFG!

Finally met our “mutuals/seatmates” I’m surrounded by Yoongi and Jin stans. Kkkkk. They we’re showing BTS MVs and damn everyone sang along. I was so excited. It’s my first time attending a SOLD OUT concert. O_O

The silver ocean was so beautiful. TT_TT

The concert started and everyone was screaming their lungs out. For a moment, I swear, I thought I busted an eardrum. I was so high. I can’t believe I’m finally seeing them perform live. Jimin. Fvck. He killed me with his vocals.

** A slight change happened to our TOP 3 lineup. My friend got HOSEOKED after the hightouch. She can’t stop talking about him! Me? There was this one performance which I can’t remember. Huhu. My eyes were, of course, fixed on Jimin but something happened and my attention went to Namjoon. AND I FVCKING SWEAR. For a moment, Jimin almost lost his spot in my heart. I GOT NAMJOONED. YES. FVCK. SUCH A DADDY.

I was under Namjoon’s spell then he went out and performed “WHAT AM I TO YOU.” yeah daddy? Y U MAKE ME CRAY CRAY. Namjoon is such a daddy.

I really enjoyed the concert. I chose not to take too many videos because I know there will be tons of ARMYs’ who’ll do that so I just decided to enjoy every moment.

ARMYs - PH all sang along~ (wala na ako pake kung mali lyrics ko!)

During the concert, Namjoon, was always on our side. It’s so hard to focus. Jimin was always walking around making sure he gets to see all the ARMYs. So, when he’s far I look at Kookie or Namjoon, who, fucking ATTACKED ME WITH HIS EYEFUCKS!

*** SHIT! It’s so hard to focus! 7 BEAUTIFUL MEN IN ONE STAGE.

TAEYUNG - TAEYUNG IS A FREAKING KILLER! KID! Your stare can kill! Honestly, I think TAEHYUNG is the most beautiful one. (They are all beautiful. C’mon)

HOSEOK - such a cutie when looking and playing with the fans but a fucking killer when dancing! His body is so.. oh.. my heart.. my heart is.. I think if I think too much of him he’ll creep up my bias list.

JIN - I’m so sorry Jin but I swear you are beautiful! Definitely next to Tae. Your lips are to die for! I want to chew them during the hightouch! He looks cute when dancing. Hihihihi.

YOONGI - Yoongi is off limits for me because he’s my friend’s bias. Jk. YOONGI! Shit I wasn’t able to tell my friend this but his tongue game when facing us freaking stopped my heartu! (My friend was holding a Yoongi Jjang banner and I’m so happy that Yoongi noticed it.) I’m so so so freaking happy to hear him rap live. Jusko Yoongi!

JUNGKOOK - YOU ARE SO MANLY YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE A BABY TO ME ANYMORE! JUSKO! Your smile is so genuine. I crie. Also, DI NA MAITAGO ANG MANLINESS MO GOODLUCK BIGHIT! I feel “aaww” whenever I remember your smile. AS IN.

JIMIN - Jimin really loves the crowd. He always looks at the cameras and poses cute and sexy. Aigoo~ He acts so cute for the ARMYs. But, PARK JIMIN. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ACT SEXY WHEN GOING TO OUR SIDE. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO EYE FUCK ME LIKE A SEXY BEAST YOU ARE? (I was on the SUGA/JIN side so most fans there were cheering for them. I was, I think, the only one holding a JIMIN banner on our line. Since we’re so close to the extended stage he can really see it) So whenever he pass by our side he gives me this freaking SEXY GLARE! Also, how can I forget your last move, baby? Just when they were waving to us goodbye, MR PARK BRUSHED HIS FREAKING HAIR AND LOOKED AT ME. KILLED ME WITH HIS ONE LAST EYE FUCK! CHIM CHIM WHERE THE F ARE YOU!!! JIMIN THE SEXY BEAST IS KILLING ME! AIGOO!

**I saw the two sides of Jimin that day. CHIMCHIM - Handfucked me during the hightouch. JIMIN - the sexy beast EYEFUCKED hard during the concert.**

NAMJOON - KIM. NAM. JOON. KILLED. ME. Daddy, what have you done to me? I hate it when people say he’s ugly. He was actually the first one who caught my eyes when I’m starting to stan BTS. I like how cool and smart he is. So he has a special place in my heart even when I am so gaga over Jimin. But during the concert? I never expected to fall this hard for him. MAN HE OWNED THE STAGE! His stage presence is so AMAZING. Also, because we had countless eye fucks. Daddy, I’m so sorry for not remembering you during the hightouch. My friend also caught his last ball. ^^ When he saw his last ball he turned to our side *oops! Another eye lock there* and threw the ball. I was so into him I didn’t realize there was a ball approaching. Luckily, my friend was quick and she caught it! Yata~!

After con selfie with le friend.

I was so stoked!!! THE CONCERT WAS SO AWESOME! My body was actually shaking because of exhaustion. I’m physically and mentally drained. Thank you BTS for showing us your love. 😗

*** after con changes. The 94liner killed us*** Friend’s Top 3: * YOONGI * HOSEK *TAEHYUNG

My Top 3: * JIMIN * NAMJOON * JUNGKOOOK

**I got namjoon’d so hard how to go back to Jimin’s lane? Do I want to go back tho? mygaaawd~!

EPILOGUE in Manila HIGHTOUCH EXPERIENCE

There were already a lot of people in MOA arena when we arrived [around 10-ish] they were all lining up for high touch. After getting our high touch IDs we lined up a bit late because we wanted to be the last batch. Ehe. It was a success.

The first one was Tae. Damn. He looks so damn good. I was mesmerized by his beauty. He was smiling seductively! My god! I almost lost my mind! He's not even my bias!

I don't want to waste my money so I gathered all my strength and started high touching them while enthusiastically saying "건강하세요 [gun gang ha sae yo]"

The second was Yoongi who was smirking. Too bad I didn't see his gunmy smile. He was extra white because of the white top he's wearing and his blonde hair.

*do you know what it feels like to have 7 men looking and waiting for you? I was part of the last batch. The girl in front of me walked a bit fast so she finished early. I felt like dying.*

The third one was Kookie who was looking at me like I'm a kid! [Yah! I'm your noona!!] But I seriously love his smile. It made me feel like he was really happy and excited to see me. Haha. Or I just look funny shouting in Korean. Haha.

*My friend hitouched Yoongi so hard Yoongi's hand touched the back of my hand and moved Kookie's hand that hit Jin's waiting hand.*

The fourth one was Jin who was so tall I had to really look up. Kkk. He has this fixed smile. I wasn't able to say anything because I was still high in kookie's smile. Jin's lips were so plump and beautiful. I really wanna bite his lips. Huhuhu.

I'm just happy that I got my shit together after Jin because the next in line was my ultimate bias...

Jimin. I swear time stopped when his hand touched mine. When I looked at him I quickly said "Jimin-ah!" **In a very noona cute but not annoying way. Yes, I practiced that. ** That moment. I felt his hand squeeze mine. He was now HOLDING ME. HE WAS HOLDING ME LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO FEEL HIS WARMTH AND GAWD HIS HAND WAS SO WARM IT SENT DIFFERENT FEELS IN MY BODY. Then I looked at him and he gave me his angelic EYE SMILE! IT WAS SO PURE. HE FEELS SO ... HOMEY? So I finally told him  "내꺼해라" I guess I said it a bit low that's why he leaned closer to me, his face was so close to mine. Because of that all my sense gone. Mind melted. Heart exploded. He didn't say anything but the thought that he squeezed my hand and leaned over me is enough. He held my freaking hand. That's more than enough ~Action speaks louder than words.~

<< it took me FOUR DAYS to figure out why I have no memory of namjoon and hoseok's faces! It was because they were after JIMIN. I had to edit this post because I got the line up wrong. That's how messed up I was. >>

Namjoon was the sixth in line. I was still high from Jimin's sweet smile. His face was so close! My mind was filled with the picture of his face I don't know remember namjoon anymore. Tho I remember the feeling of his strong big hand.

Hoseok was last in line and his voice woke me from my dream. Haha. He keeps saying THANK YOU! THANK YOU! In a really cute way. However, I was still picturing Jimin's face so I can't remember him that much.

I was in cloud 9 when I exited the room. No I didn't cry. No I didn't jump or screamed or punched my friend. I just kept walking and staring at my hand because I can still feel Jimin's hand and warmth. It's like my hand is pulsing. I can't believe he held my hand. He didn't just touch it like the others. He freaking held it.

I am just really happy that my friend and I had an awesome Hightouch experience with our bias. 

Bangtan has landed. Haha. That sounded weird. So bangtan's now in the PH~ ❤

I'm so happy my supportive boss gave me the day off. I feel like I'm about to get sick. NO. Tomorrow is their concert and the hitouch event so I have to be healthy. *cross fingers*

After visitng pulp and getting our free posters I went straight home and fixed the gifts I bought for the boys. I was planning on giving them all a gift but I have no time and I can't think of what to give the to the other members. Sorry Hobi, Jin, Tae, and Yoongi.

I bought this puzzle rings set for kookie because I dunno. He's been trying to break my bias barrier. Ehe. I think he'll have fun solving these since he's very competitive. 😊

Since I love books and poems and namjoon loves to read too I decided to give him this poetry book. Honestly, I love giving people books. 😍

Lastly, I bought my bias some bracelets and a hat. I was supposed to give him round glasses because I seriously think that he will look good wearing them. And guess what? He started wearing round glasses! Universe Y U playin' w/ mah feels. Also there's this one round glasses that I have and again, because the universe loves me so much, HE HAS ONE AND HE'S EVEN WEARING THEM HERE IN MANILA. 👏

TADA~ The paper bags. Haha. Yes. That's me. Kbye.

The hitouch is tomorrow. The concert is tomorrow. What will I be tomorrow. Ommmmo. It’s almost midnight and I'm still awake. I have to be early in MOA Arena for the hitouch event. Help.

Oh my. It’s been months and I still haven’t finished blogging about my “fangirl” vacation in Korea. 😂  (who to blame? 😏)

Anyway, my friend and I promised to move on and forget the Kpop world after our trip. But, we’re liars. Haha. After a week, we still tried to be updated in Winner but papa YG what are you doing! Will there be an X after E in exit? 🤔 So, while Winner’s back in the dungeon 😢 I low key’d fangirl’d over JYP’s awesome band, DAY6! My gaaaawd. These boys are talented! Awesome vocals! I crie. While I drown myself in Day6 my friend was playing Sherlock in BTS’ music videos. 😂

She kept sending me videos of BTS hoping I would Stan them. 😒

Of all the links she sent. I fell for one. A bangtan bomb video. They were in a plane to LA. They were trying to talk in English. The legendary “No jam” joke. 

I still have the screenshot of the jamless person on my phone. 😅 I. Ehe. I fell for his heavenly voice and his laugh melted my stone cold YG heart. 😅

So, that is why I wasn’t able to finish my blog. I was busy loving BTS. 😅

After a month of fangirling, BTS released their concert schedule! They will be having a concert here in the Philippines. Oh, how lucky!

Our tickets to our first Kpop concert. 🌚 We were lucky to get Pulp Royalty tickets. This includes a hitouch with the boys. 👐

We’ve actually been really lucky Kpop fangirls. We thank all the Kpop Gods for blessing us. 😭😭😭 From seeing Winner and iKon in Korea and now meeting Bangtan. 

하트~

Jinwoo keeps smiling and I swear I saw Hoonie looking at me. teehee. SeungYoon passed by us again but I did not call him anymore though he still looked at me and I think I was just smiling creepily. huhu. whatevs. We waited for Nam Taehyun but we only saw him when he was already inside the car. Such a diva. Oh my 2nd bias Nam. You're a beauty.

We went back to the convenient store and talked with other fangirls after. We met two japanese fans who went there to see the building too. kk. Oh how lucky we were.

Eyeing this signed poster in the convenient store. 

We had to stay a bit longer because we were so hyped we had to compose ourselves. It was getting late and we haven't had dinner yet so we decided to go to Insadong. Not really sure why we went there but we did.

We saw these birthday greetings inside the station.

On our way to insadong, We stopped to eat tteokbukki and had a little chat with the ahjumma. 

We walked but most of the stores were closed. We passed by a store which was about to close but entertained us still. They were selling bags for only 10,000 won! What a bargain! (We compared the prices of the bags we bought and in some shops like myeongong, they sell it for 18000won) My friend was chatting with the owner of the stores and the man said I have a "Pretty korean face" aiiggooo~ kkk. After buying we just went home and decided to have Mcdonald's for dinner. We bought chicken. I'm asian so I expected their chicken meal to have rice. but they don't. They don't sell rice in Mcdonald's so we just settled for chickens and good thing our guesthouse offers free ramyun~

Posting the lucky stones my friend stacked and wished that we see Winner.

Good thing we didn't drink too much last night in Hongdae because we had to meet up with our former students in the afternoon. Our students took us to the Korean Folk Village in Yongin where they shot some famous Korean dramas like Jewel in the Palace and Sungkyunkwan Scandal (aigooo Joongki oppa!)

We saw an awesome Martial Arts on Horseback performance by Mongolian performers and also witnessed a Korean traditional wedding. Daebak! The place is awesome. They have Korean folk play experience program like Tuho - throwing arrows (which was really hard.) NEOLDDUIGI and more. They also have Traditional life experience program.

We also saw The plays at that Time in Memories. It was Korean but was still funny. Good thing I understand a bit Korean. There were museums inside and souvenir shops but I suggest you buy souvenir outside for they are cheaper.  

We also stacked stones and prayed/wished. My friend said that call her shallow but she prayed to see Winner while we're in korea. hehehe.

After spending the whole afternoon roaming around the village we decided to have Rabuki for dinner. I swear you should try it. It was so delicious. The restaurant we went to gives free ice cream after meal. yey.  Before going home we had to stop over our students' house because their mom wants to watch Decendants of the Sun. haha.

We had a quick stop over at Bojeong-dong cafe street too. A perfect place to have a date. We didn't stay too long because it was so cold outside and it's getting late.

Korean Folk Village Admission Fee

Adults (ages 19 and up): 15,000₩ / 12,0000₩

Teens (ages 13 to 18) 12,000₩ / 10,000₩

So the first place we went to was in Hongdae. It’s Friday night so we decided to party, Korean style. Ehe. We’ve heard that Koreans party real haaaaard. So why not try it? When we got to our guesthouse we quickly showered and changed. Hongdae wait for us noonas. 

We took the subway going to Hongdae and met with a friend to have dinner. Don’t party with an empty stomach plus awesome parties don’t start early. So we decided to eat first. We went to a korean fusion restaurant somewhere in Hongdae. Went to a nearby coffee shop after to chat. It was freezing outside but to blend in, we drank frappe while roaming around hongdae. We brave noonas. 😂

Roamed around the streets of hongdae and was seriously amazed with the people there. There were so many talented people performing on the streets. We walked around till out feet hurt. We decided to have a drink first before going to the club. The alcohol inside the club aren’t really that expensive. I had to drink a bottle of soju alone because my friends are too weak. 😒

We went to NB2 (I mentioned that I’m a YG stan right? So ofcourse i’ll go to the club YG owns 😂) there’s always a long line but you won’t really wait that long so you don’t have to worry. The guy giving us wrist bands in NB2 <b>LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE TAEYANG MY GAWD!</b> I told him he looks like YB and he answered <b>“ I know. </b> I guess people tell him that. 😂 the club was small but it was okay. We went to the second floor because that’s where the locker is and just stayed there. They play English songs and a bit of Korean hiphop songs. We then went to NB1 which is only across the street. You don’t have to pay again to get inside, just show your wrist band. It wasn’t as crowded as NB2 which we loved (introverts. Ehe) We claimed our free drinks and went to the dance floor and danced the night awaaaaay.  I never partied so hard that my right arm was so sore the next day. Twas so awesome. 

Going home after partying is a bit hard. The subway closes at 11pm. We originally planned on partying till 6am and just wait for the subway to open but we were so tired (jetlag) so around 3am we decided to go home. The cab drivers were asking us 20,000 won from hongdae to myeongdong (that’s where our guesthouse is located) which is crazy expensive. Luckily, my friend was able to get us a cab who was nice enough and let us pay only11,000 won. We one lucky noonas.

After a series of unfortunate events the noonas are finally in Korea~ We wanted this trip to be an unforgettable one. It’s my first time in a foreign land so it should be memorable. It’s the first time my friend will be traveling without her family so we’ll do tons of cray stuff in ze land of oppas! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

Booking a flight to Korea is easy. Getting a visa is … frustrating. X.X

We didn't even think of the visa before booking. Kkk. Oh, fangirling~ 😅

My friends and I are all working so we had no problems getting all the requirements. So, why was it frustrating? It’s my first time traveling! 😨 I’ve read in other blogs that the embassy ‘randomly’ denies visas. That got us worried. I’ve read,too,that some got denied even if they’ve passed all the requirements, they have more than 1XX,XXX in their bank accounts, or it’s their second time going to Korea. Anyway, after a week of endless anxiety we got our visaaaaaas~ *bb oppaaaaaas wait for us~ kkkk. 🤓

Me: 23 y/o - Female CoE: Supervisor - 3years Bank Acc - 5X,XXX Bank Cert - No ADB included ITR - easy~

Maknae: 21 y/o - Female / 2nd time in Korea CoE: Supervisor - 1year Bank Acc - 2X,XXX Bank Cert - No ADB included ITR - easy~

Unni: 25y/o - Female / frequent traveler CoE: Nurse associate - 18 months Bank Acc - 12X,XXX Bank Cert - ADB included ITR - easy~

So that’s me and my friend fangirling over Hiddles. Anyway, this is not about us fangirling over him but how we got lost in what they call ‘Kpop’ world.

It’s Haru who introduced me to BigBang. After watching an episode of return of Superman, I decided to watch their M/Vs and was really amazed in how creative and cool their videos are. (Got my eyes glued on jiyong~)

[151008]In our group chat, my ever fangirl buddy suddenly asked, “nakikinig kayo sa BigBang??” - and that is how we got lost in this world. 😅

[151018] After fangirling for a week, we’ve talked about going to Korea and going clubbing hoping to see BB members. 😂 the morning after …. We’re booked. 🙈 *we impulsive noonas. kkkkk
