#no queue this time

But I did saw them in a shop - or more to say - their album.

Anyway... let’s go back to the morning.

The weather continues to be a bad gurl and decided to go with sunny yet hot morning, then light showers, then huge showers and then storm and now it... just cloudy.

What did I decide to do?

Stupid me thought one place won’t be that far so I took a bicycle and went. It started to rain right in the middle on my trace, lol.

After that I went back to my place cause damn, I was dead. The whole ride was around 7 km.

Do you @softiejinki remember our lil morning talk (your night version)? Look who it is:

Before going shopping I saw an ad for the movie Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds and I forgot to say, that I watched it on a plane and it’s really good! A lil kpop reference: EXO D.O plays in it - not a big role but definitely an interesting one.

So... what did I finally manage to get?

I bought so much trash guys... literally. By trash I mean, I don’t spend money on kpop at all. I bought a Block B poster from my concert, Jonghyun’s novel and She Is and that’s it.

However, mania got me this time.

Let’s get it.

Official stuff:

1 and 1 was my no. 1 on my list to get because it’s my favourite album by SHINee and after everything it’s now expensive on eBay. I also got the official poster and I have no idea where the heck should I put it. I have both of my favourite groups now.

Yes, you are right. I didn’t get Kibum’s card. I was not surprised, don’t worry.

Since I knew I won’t get him (my gut feeling rules), when I spotted Everybody, I had to buy it. This look was a look.

Right before paying I spotted some cards, I have no idea if they are official or not and I really thought I would get it themed based on the person on the cover (I was rushing at the end and didn’t pay attention to text only photos haha). I took Kibum (oc) and ended up with this lol:

Jinki making me drink him is a bit... controversial.

Non official stuff:

Memos. The only proper thing they had with Block B. Kibum... I just took him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As someone who loves postcards and collects them, I had problem to leave other there but it would cost too much together so I ended up with Jjong, Kibum and group ones.

Last but not least. I had to, he looks freaking amazing and even if I use him just as a bookmark... it was worth it (also it’s double sided and he looks perfect in both ok).

To end this post somewhat emotionally, I had an opportunity to check out signed Everybody.

Update: I am in Everybody heaven. HELL YES!

Day 4

Again went on the East coast. The original plan was to go hiking but the weather went up to 42C which is unbearable and dangerous. So instead of that we went to a new complex where you could craft your own thing and I made a bracelet lol (also bought a lot of tea and small cups).

Then we drove along the coast to a beach, cold spring and up to mountains back to Taipei. My friends got used to my kpop DJing and even had requests. They really enjoyed B.A.P, some Block B followed by GD.

SHINee’s Ring Ding Dong will remain in their brains forever tbh.

Day 5

Due to a not so pretty weather I went for a walk to look for some cosmetics. However,...

First of all... my feet freaking hurt. Second of all, I found this music shop by an accident while looking for postcards. I was leaving... then I spotted this:

Unbothered me continued to walk to a shop where I wanted to and after not being able to buy what I wanted I realised, that in this place might be a music store with maybe kpop.

It was. Of damn course.

So I walked all the way back. Yep, stupid me.

For inspiration how diverse it is... one Block B album only (Montage), lots of Wanna One, Big Bang and SHINee even had older albums (including Amigo). I also saw some Super Junior (they had many posters tbh) Infinite, Highlight, B.A.P, VIXX but those had mainly the newest releases.

Since my fav group (Block B) had just one piece (also VIXX... aka why damn it), I focused on SHINee.

Japanese releases (From Now On and the newest DVDs) were there. Jonghyun’s work was well represented and also some Taemin including Flame of Love. As for TSOL, only EP. 2 was available.

Unfortunately, not what I wanted. So let’s check other store one day.

Also tons of posters. At least here I found Block B and took it, hehehe.

What did I buy? Not much. However, it was really funny. So after not being able to buy what I wanted, I moved to the posters. Took the nicest one with Block B aka black/white Blooming Period. They had some SHINee too but I couldn’t see which of those they were most of the time and didn’t want to risk getting... some really crazy era.

What surprised me was how much ToHeart they had. I couldn’t resist. So I got small cards and A5 file cover thing which has on it only for promotion rofl.

Interesting purchase was a paper thing which I thought would be only emo Kibum on a paper.

But turned out to be:

What did I do yesterday? A good damn question. I almost forgot because it went too quickly.

I had a lunch with my friend, then went to the highest located Starbucks in the world in Taipei 101 (every time I say 101 I think of Wanna One, hehe) and had a huge dinner aka hot pot feast for dinner. Any kpop time? I bought some stuff for  @rakuzanemperor and I hope it will arrive soon :)

Today was more crazy. Temperature went up to 47 degrees and I decided to go hiking - do not tell me I am crazy, I know I am, lol.

It was worth it.

A pig tree... or am I the only one who sees it?

The best feeling after a long hike.

Time in Taiwan flies too quickly and tomorrow I am moving. From this post, it will be messy because I will study.
