No new pictures nor stories lately..
so I'll post a video.
I don't think I've posted this yet........I think?

Just a video of me interviewing foreigners in Korea,
asking them what's their reason for learning Korean.
2 of the girls are from the kbs tv show "mee-nyu-deul-ae soo-da"

I wanna adopt a white baby girl and teach her Korean.
WHEN I COME OF THAT AGE of course.
In this video, there was this white girl around 7 or 8?
She spoke good Korean with a perfect accent. It was incredibly adorable!
How funny would it be if I taught Korean Language to my adopted white daughter...and No English? White kids wouldn't be able to conversate with her. And when she goes into highschool, she'll have a FOB accent when speaking English. Instead of English Class, she'd be attending ESL Class. When Korean kids would talk to her for the first time, they would think she was mocking their accent...but no, it's just that she sucks at speaking English.
She would also train in dance and classical singing & modern singing from birth, so when she turns 16 she can be the first White Singer in Korea.

I'm Back!!

So in Time Magazine, most influential people of the World in the entertainment was Stephen Colbert as 2nd and Rain as 1st.

So JOKINGLY Stephen Colbert "battles" rain, by making his own parody "korean" music video.

Of course Stephen Colbert is making fun of Rain, but he makes fun of everyone that is important. Being made fun of on his show is like a sign of flattery. If you're talked about on his show, that just means how big you are. And for him to talk about Rain, a Korean Singer, it's extremely big...it just shows how many people in this world know about him other than Koreans. If he made fun of Rain racially, that'd be a different story. But he didn't.

Anyways, I'm saying this because...
the people in Korea are furious. They need to chill. I guess they don't understand american humor. They were commenting on the video that Stephen Colbert should die and other horrible stuff. Stephen said nothing bad about Rain.

These Korean Netizens (internet people) should really watch their mouth. Didn't they learn their lesson when Unee committed suicide because of them keep talking trash about her online???

OH! There's also ANOTHER video of Stephen Colbert interviewing the founder of Rolling Stone. He says to him, "help me crush Rain!" hahahaha.

My new music obsession is Younha. I'm her new fan.
Younha, Korean Singer born at Seoul Korea, in 1988. She enjoyed Japanese Dramas so she taught herself Japanese. She auditioned for several Korean Labels, but didn't hear back from any of them. At age 16, she auditioned for a Japanese Record Label and made it as a singer in Japan. Some of her Japanese songs are ending theme songs to the anime Bleech.
Later on got signed to a Korean Record Label, Stam Entertainment. Now she's hitting it big in Korea at the age of 19! ?~ So young...or am I just getting too old........ -_-;
Anyways, I really like her music. It's pop-rock. Voice is strong, nice, & clean. Dresses to her style, instead of revealing clothes. Simple but fashionable. Face looks very innocent and humble.

OOOHH MANNNN~
my friend told me today Michael Buble gonna have a concert in Chicago!!!

I don't normally listen to american (well he's from canada...i guess i meant english) music...but Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, & Dean Martin is an acception. I wanna go to this concert sooo badly!!!

For the people who don't know Michael Buble...he's like the new generation of Frank Sinatra. Unfortunately the tickets are extremely expensive.

It goes from $194-$388 for seats. x_x;;

*sigh* Going there w/ a gf would be awesome. Now all I need is tickets and a girl.

WORD

So what have I been doing this summer?
Going to auditions, filming, doing photoshoot, and finding a part-time job.

I'm going to be in an indie featured film soon. I got casted not too long ago. Featured film means a film longer than an hour. I don't have many lines, BUT I play a major role. HAHA. Just my character is the type who doesn't really talk. It's a horror film. I can't wait. The director said it'll be playing at film festivals after we're done with it. The film is called Freight.

As you can see the pictures below, I did an action indie film as well. It's an 80's gangster film. When I get a hold of the film, I'll upload it. It's only a short indie. So 6 min. long. Summary is...mob boss smuggles guns in a factory. The cop who's partner was killed by that mob boss raids the place...and kills everyone.

The part-time job place I found was a waitering job. Hasn't opened yet. It's on North Ave. of Chicago. It's a korean-american restaurant called Sura. "Kings Meal."

Korea Festival meetings has started not too long ago...so going to those meetings as well.

Busy Busy Busy.

I extremely miss Korea. I have dreams every night, being back in Shinchon. No joke. If I had money...I'd go for vacation this winter. Hopefully I can save that much.

Since I got back from my long stay in Korea for school...I've been only talking to my parents in Korean. The only other times I use my Korean is cyworld or MSN chatting....
I feel my Korean is getting worse and worse and worse...
Can't talk to my friends in korean either, because the ones I normally hang out with are filipino, chinese, or taiwanese..the few koreans I do hang out with can't speak a lick of korean..so that doesn't help. Or there are those other korean-americans (rarely see though), you've been talking to in english your whole life, so when you do speak korean to each other...it's awkward. Especially when you have to start calling them by nuna or hyung, even if they're only a yr older than you. When before speaking only english to them..age didn't make a difference, you two were equal.

So my new hobby is cooking. I dunno...it's just so much more fun if you make it yourself. Especially desserts. I've made creme brule, hodduk, cake, crapes, and other stuff. I'm trying to learn how to make Korean Food now. This sounds soooo gay, but I want a gf...just so I can cook for her. SERIOUSLY. NOT because I wanna be romantic!! Just that, I spend the time to cook, and no ones there to taste my food except me. Sometimes my mom.
---
I started making crapes, so I'm still a newb. Looks ugly. BUT it tastes very good. Inside the crape is vanilla icecream, exterior is Whip Cream and fruits. I made the whip cream myself. I used heavy cream, sugar, and rum. Yes rum. If you add a tiny bit, the whip cream tastes SOOO GOOOD.

Here's a picture of my mom with crapes I made for her.

And this is mine.

Independent Film

So I did an indie film during the summer. It's an 80's gangster movie. I asked, "why 80's?" And I got the reply that 80's films had the best gangsters and action movies. If you dunno how 80's people dress...THINK of the clothes worn in "Karate Kid" and "Back to the Future." hahaha.

Jon. Former-dead police partner.

Norman. The mob boss. Special Effects Artist bloodying him up.

The result. Norman's scar.

The white dude who buys smuggled guns from the Chinese Mob Boss.

Me. Special Effects Equipment workers hooking me up into a air tube that shoots blood when I get shot.

Make-up artist putting me in make-up.

Afterwards the special effects artist put me in make-up. I look like a happy beaten up gangster, dont I? hahaha.

Jessie getting set up for the stab scene. A vengeful cop stabs him on the head.

Jon, the dead partner and Shaun...the cop that seeks revenge.

Norman and his henchman.

Pam. The assistant sliced on the throat.

Stunt practicing before shooting.

Mob boss about to kill Jon.

NOT DEAD YET...just unconscious. I get shot on the lower abdomin. Hit the floor HARD. My face is bloody from hitting head first. I wake up, crawl for the gun. RIGHT WHEN I REACH IT...my head gets blown.

Watch your back!

It's no film. It was just photos violet & I took indivisually and some together. Violet wanted to bring a bottle & gun for her punk look. There was no intentsion of a story line. Coincidentally the pictures puzzled into one though. So I added some diologue. hahaha!!
---------

On a cloudy day Taesoon goes up to the lighthouse because he recieved a messege from Mimi, someone who he THOUGHT has passed away years ago.

Before he takes that last step up the lighthouse, he has a flashback.
---
[Flashback: Busan, Korea. Mimi & Taesoon were the best of friends in highschool. They always had each others backs, especially in fights...which was everyday. They were obviously #1 students in school, in fighting of course. Their dream was very simple. Their family was poor, they weren't the smartest...so the only thing they dreamed of being was becoming #1 gangster.]

Taesoon: "Mimi......"

Mimi: "I'm glad you remember me, heh. Long Time."
Taesoon: "wha...what are you doing??"
Mimi: "You broke your promise..."
Taesoon: "HUH?? WHAT PROMISE????"
Mimi: "YOU BROKE YOUR F**KING PROMISE!!"
---
[Flashback: Taesoon & Mimi bruised, bloody, & beaten...laying in an alley.
Taesoon: "hahaha...sh*t. That hurt. You okay?"
Mimi: "heheh, yeah. One day...we'll be up there. Everyone will fear us. We'll have money, power, and..."
Taesoon: "..each other. As long as we stick together, we'll be untouchable. I will always protect you and you will do the same. We'll become mob bosses. You'll be the first female mob boss in Korea, ya know? HAHAHA.
Violet: "heh..*barely lifting up her tired arm, she punches Taesoon on the shoulder* ......you promise?"
Taesoon: "huh? promise what?"
Violet: "Ya know. Always protecting each other. Being their for each other. Becoming mob bosses."
Taesoon lifts his fist up in the air, grins as blood drips out of the side of his mouth, "I promise"]

Mimi: "YOU SAID YOU'LL ALWAYS PROTECT ME! YOU SAID YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THERE, YOU SAID YOU'LL... *tears of anger role down her eye* why...WHYYY DID YOU HAVE TO BECOME A F**KING COP????"
Taesoon: "I...I'm...sorry. After your death, my life became dark. My dream disappeared. The Mafia...what I dreamed of being...what I loved so much, became something I loathed. THEY WERE THE ONES THAT KILLED YOU!! ...or at least I thought. I sawww them stab you! I went to you! You were dead! Once the cops came, I took off and never found or heard of you again...I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD."
Mimi: "Well...here I am now."
Taesoon: "....how...."
Mimi: "After getting stabbed from the mafia, the boss took pity on me. He took me, reincarnated me. I was reborn. I grew strong..."
Taesoon: "Please stop...get out."
Mimi: "NO. I'm so close! Close to being up on top."
Taesoon: "PLEASE!!"

Mimi: "I said NOO!!"
Taesoon quickly hits her arm away and swiftly grabs the gun.
Mimi then grabs a broken bottle that was on the floor.
As she's about to slash Taesoon with the bottle, Taesoon lifts the gun to her face.
Taesoon: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."
Mimi: "HAHAHA....you think I'm here to kill you because you couldn't protect me?? I DON'T NEED YOU! I can protect myself!"
Taesoon: "then.....wh..."
Mimi: "Why? Because...my boss said so. Simple as that. If I wanna get up there, I must fulfill whatever my boss asks."
Taesoon: "Chae Ja..."
Mimi: "That's right! Chae Jaewon...is my boss. It seems that you've been giving him some trouble. How unfortunate. Actually, one of the men below me was suppose to off you...but I insisted on taking the job. I wanted to prove to him, I AM STRONG, I AM READY. And honestly, hah..I wanted to see you one last time...

As the first drop of rain hit Mimi's forehead, she charged Taesoon with the broken bottle. He shoots and Mimi falls to the floor. He falls to his knees and cries. It seemed that the more his heart throbbed with pain, the harder it rained.

His heart dropped so far deep that as he walked away, his face became emotionless.

Wishing, Praying, Hoping if there was a way of saving her. Wishing so hard to go back in time...go back to highschool, go back to protecting his sister, Mimi.

I hate Korean Birthday. It makes you feel older...
In America I would be 23 yrs old...
but in Korea I'd be 25 yrs old....

Something to do with lunar and like if a new year passes you're an extra yr older plus your birthday if your january, which gives you 2 years...it's confusing as hell. I don't even understand it. Highschool students call me "ahjusshi" already. Which means "old man" in Korean. -. .-;

Every Step I take, Every Breath I make...
I'm one step closer to death.

Album

My mommy mailed me a bible verse from America. HAHAHA. I taped it up on my room wall. "DO NOT BE AFRAID! I will save you. I have called you by name.You ARE MINE!" Isaiah 43:1-2

The tale of New Years Eve...

Once upon a time,
Taesoon/Elliot and his friends went to a party that had fun games, fun people, and food!

There was this Couples Game played at the party. My friend was pulled up and he was coupled up with this girl right here, with her eyes rolled back. Lets call her uhm...."Hana Girl." So this game they had to each both bite the ends of the bbe bbe ro stick. Also they played popping the balloon game. Anyways after that party was over, that Hana girl asked Steve where he was heading to next. He wasn't interested, so he tried to avoid the question and said he'll figure it out with us. He didn't bother finding her again to tell where we were going next. Our 2nd round was at a bar. (to be continued below...)

So we go to this bar. Before we enter, that Hana girl was there too!! She was like to him, "oh! you came to!!" So we all were like, "o mannn!! She's crushing on Steve hard!! HAHAHAHAA!!!" We go inside the bar and we have a group in our table. NOT including that Hana girl.

So we play Image game. "Who do you think is most likely to..." [Note: I DON'T DRINK ANYMORE. So everytime I lost, I had to drink a glass of water. WITH NO BATHROOM access allowed. So I was dying. When we finally finished the game...I peed for 10 minutes straight.] While we were playing games, that Hana girl came to our table and asked if she can sit with us. But the girls in our table were like, "ohh next time. we're too into the game, so we don't wanna stop." So she leaves. 15 minutes pass and Hana girl comes back again and asks if she can join. The girls told her to come back again next time. Time passes by and she constantly comes back, but the girls tell her no. In the end, when it was time to leave, she joined our table. I was nugging Steve and laughing at him.

Then we go to another bar afterwards. Guess who follows us? The Hana girl. She kept sitting next to us very awkwardly. Sit next to us but RARELY TALKED. You kinda felt that stalkerish feeling around her. After that bar was done, half of us decided to go to a restaurant. Hana girl really wanted to go w/ us, but her cousins didn't. So her cousin said out loud, "Taesoon (me), my nuna wants to go eat with you guys. Take care of her. She really likes you!" And then the cousin runs away. So...Steve felt releaved and laughing at me. While I was speechless. edit : (re-writing the ending so i don't get complaint again) So it wasn't cause she was unattractive that we felt awkward around her. She was just weird because she kept following us without even really talking to us. She just kept sitting with us. For you girls, how would you feel if some guy you didn't know followed you everywhere you went w/o even talking to you girls? You'd be creeped right? Plus this one messeger thinks I've been leading this Hana girl on the whole time. But in the story, I said I believed that Hana girl liked Steve the entire time...UNTIL we were about to go to the restaurant. Restaurant was our last stop before all us parted. At 6:30 AM. And even when I found out and we all went to the restaurant...I still wouldn't talk to her. So I made it very clear how I felt. O man...haha why am I being bashed in my personal blog? Ain't I suppose to write what I feel?

THE END . . .

Dream of the day

I was in a singing contest. prize was 60,000,000.
This trainer appeared at my door a day before.
Trained me extremely hard.
Day of competition I lost my voice.
Turned out this girl I knew hired him to make me lose my voice.
So I got outta the competition and she won.
I go tell my dad because he was a lawyer.
Few days later I'm at some party and the host tells all us to go in circles and say hi to each other.
I saw the girl there and she's trying push her way through trying to talk to me...probably wanting to apologize.
But I tried subtly avoiding her. Turned out not only was she trying to apologize,
but also wanting to ask for help because my father was gonna send her to jail for 15 yrs.
Turned out my dad was not only a lawyer, but mobster.
I come in yelling and crying, saying to stop this, but my dad said no.
I begged and begged and he still wouldn't.
Then I ran away to australia.
Years pass and it's my wedding day 15 yrs later.
One of the audience at our wedding stands up.
Was a girl. Her hair was wrecked, wore wrags, and wrinkles from sorrow.
It was the girl my dad put in jail.

Thoughts

I made another xanga. Well not another personal xanga, but just a xanga to update people on Korens Entertainment News...because I seem to do that alot here. So I just made a page ONLY for Korean Ent. News. SAVE ME & ENJOY!! [Http://www.xanga.com/koreaNews]

AHHH!!! AHHHH!!! I wanna beat myself up for this!! I went to a booking night club last night in Shinchon. Usually the booking girls in Shinchon aren't that pretty. But the first girl that came in our room, she wasn't bad. After talking to her for a little, I just let her go...hopping there'd be better girls. But the whole night the girls were ... yah ... damnit. My pickyness skrewd me over. WHYYY!! She was 84 like me, loved dancing like me, didn't drink or smoke like me, took acting classes in the past like me...soooo how could I just let her go. -___-' I'm stupid.
Oh, people are so funny at Night Clubs. Girls or Guys, they'll practice dancing to the mirror. HAHAHA. I mean...I understand doing it at home. I used to practice to a mirror at home. But at a club???

[ I don't use xanga as much anymore as you can tell. Hit me up on myspace. I'm a bigger myspace geek than a xanga geek. I LOVE writing about my day and random thoughts on xanga...but you remember my old posts...it takes me FOREVER to write them because I just have too much to say. So while I'm in Korea, I'll be updating myspace more. http://www.myspace.com/taesoon ]

At tul-bo eating fish. They have cheapest and best fish there ever.

The girl from Typhoon and the guy from Super Junior...I think.......

So my friend came to Korea and stayed at my place. He wanted to visit his grandma that worked at Dongdaemoon. As we went there we passed by DOOTA. There was a concert going on, so we were on the side checking it out. And then saw As One. OMG...It was soooo COLD that day...

I love sweet potato bread. It tastes sooo goood. Especially during winter.

My friend w/ his nice camera took a picture of me freezing.

This year they started building glass walls in the subway. There were problems with suicides and rich men pushing down bums down the railroad.

Steve, Tina & Tina's friend. Me taking picture. Shinchon Dak Galbi House.

Me telling a friend a story at starbucks while my friend's friend was taking pictures of me I guess?

My animal winter hat collection. hahaha. Seriously, it's a trend in Korea.

I hit on girls with this on because it makes me look tough. hahaha.

My half swiss half korean friend, me, and my friend's friend eating dak galbee.

Videos

Stolen from Steve's page. So it seems that they do this every country. Saw a video from other part of Asia, America, and Australia doing the same thing. Anyways it's a FREE HUG video made in Seoul Korea. Quite touching. Actually I saw him in shinchon little while ago. I thought he was drunk or lost a bet...but I guess not.

Pretty sad. Brian Joo from Fly to the Sky talks about what happened when...
(translation for non Korean Speakers)
He was on a radio show. The mc asked him what he thought about the incident when american soldiers ran over 2 girls in Korea with a tank. So Brian explains that what the soldiers did was horrible (especially because they refused to apologize), but the soldier's action shouldn't be the reason to hate a whole country. So the narrow minded, thick headed Koreans heard it on the radio and was FURIOUS. Because lot of S. Koreans hate America (But what country doesn't hate america these days?). So people sent him hate mail like, "it's better if you died" "american bastard." So one day after the radio show, there was a fan waiting in front of his house. She asked for an autograph. He was about to sign it, but her friend took the paper from Brian and threw it on the floor. They walked away. But then fan's friend came back, so Brian thought..."oh, she's coming back to apologize." But instead she punched him and ran away. Hwanee sees that and screams at the students. Then Brian starts crying because he was so sorry to Hwanee. Because of what Brian said on the radio, Hwanee's reputation was getting tarnished too. There was this picture spreading on the internet of 2 girls that were ran over by the tank...next to the dead girls was a picture of Brian and Hwanee.
[Can't forget though...there are lot of incidents in Korea where American GIs have raped, harrassed, fought, and killed Korean citizens.]

Thoughts

I hate how these strangers don't say thank you when I open the door for them.

During winter season, go to Pojang Matcha and drink odeng gookmool.

I go to Onnuri Church but...eh...it's fine. I go every week. BUT.....it just seems like a business rather than a church. Inside there's stores like cloth/bag store. Cafeteria. Pojangmatchas all against the walls of church. Has radio and tv broadcasting floor. Sometimes depending on the pastor, they make you feel guilty about putting how much in offering. Wasn't there a passage in bible when Jesus tore down all the stores that were inside and around the church?

I love watching gag concert and uchasa. Last year my Korean sucked so I had no idea what they were doing...but now I understand like 90%.

I found someone on cyworld who will teach me gyung sang do accent, if I teach him english. I can't wait!!

Streets are so empty because it's friggginnnn freazing.

My friend visiting Korea and crashing at my place, so I've been eating so much. Gained some weight -_-

You guys GOT to come to Ehwa neighborhood. I live around there and there's this one pojangmatcha that sells dduk galbi. It's the most delicious thing ever!!

Wanna know what's sad? Prostitution will never go away in Korea. There's so many red light distracts in Korea but the reason it won't go away is because cops/army is partnered up with gangsters here. There are lot of riots/protestings...so they hire the gangsters to beat down the people. In return they keep the red light distracts open.

When I watch American Shows now, I can't stop from reading the Korean Subtitles!! I'm missing the whole show!!

I dunno if I told you guys...but I'm done with drinking. After my first month of Korea, I just stopped drinking. I just got sick of it from doing it so much. I mean...what's the point? I don't drink to get drunk anymore...so drinking hard liquor is like drinking bad tasting juice. Well I might drink cocktail soju once in awhile...because it tastes good. So when I go to HOF with friends...most time I'm eating anju and drinking Saida (sprite). HEY I SAVE LOTTA MONEY!!

I'm sorry but Yang Dong Geun should only do acting. His rapping just gets worse and worse. He has a new style of rapping now...where he will mumble his words like 50 cent. It's just....bad. Plus he has this ugly fro. One of his songs goes like, "??? gangster!" (translate: we're gangsters) Since when was he a gangster?? hahahahahahaaa.

2 of my favorite dramas now is the one with hyunbin and another drama with han yeh seul. "??? ???"

I moved near ehwa. But before when I lived in the dorms...it was scary. In 3rd floor there was this girl who supposedly was "posessed." Every night she would scream and talk in a weird language for 3-4 hrs. Her roommate was freaked and moved away. I wonder what happened to her........

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

Years back...
Maybe around 4 years ago...
My brother and I drove to Walgreens.
I parked and headed towards the door.
This white woman, with smeared make up, messed up hair, with a bycicle...came up to us.
She was crying and her face expression looked like she saw a ghost.
"HELP ME!!! Some guy is chasing me!! And he has a gun!! Please drive me home."
She COULD have been telling the truth...but I thought she was a crackhead.
So I didn't believe her and lied.
"Don't worry miss. I'll shop for some stuff and come back out. Come inside. It'll be safer."
She was muttering some stuff though I couln't understand...saying why she couldn't go in and she had to leave now.
So I was like "I'll be quick..."
So my brother and I hid in Walgreens for 30 minutes till we thought she left.
We checked the door and she was gone.
I got in my car and drove out of the parking lot.
Less then a block ahead we saw bunch of cop cars and an ambulance.
My heart dropped...
We decided to drive passed it.
We saw the woman on the ground,about to be lifted onto the stretcher.
Next to her the bike was trashed on the floor.

In Korea...
I live in a nice room that I moved to.
Unfortunately it's in the city with night clubs and bars all around me.
So late at night, even weekdays...at like 4am it gets kinda noisy.
Few times though...I heard girls screaming really loud or crying.
At those points my heart dropped...
This time though without even thinking,
I'd put on my clothes and run outside as fast as I could.
Unfortunately I haven't found any of the girls that I heard screaming or crying...
It COULD be a bf and gf fighting, or just because they're crazy drunk or lotta other things...
but I don't want to make the same mistake again.
Especially in Shinchon...there have been cases of rape and 2 serial killers this year and last year.

ps: It's 5am now in Korea and I'm writing this right after I ran outside again.... -____-' \

My Life as a Fob

[Christmas Party]

2 pictures I stole from the party photographer. MC asking me to introduce myself on stage for the Christmas Couple Dance. I was shaking my butt and waving my arms hard...but later found out my partner was juss standing behind me doing nothing...... -_-' No wonder we lost. Oh Well, I still got $10 gift card. ps: the girl seen in the picture wasn't my partner. My partner is on the other side of me.

I think the photographer photoshopped my face...because my skin looks so nice and blemish free...

After the christmas party, few of us went to another club. Club Hage in Hongdae. O Yeahhhh...I'm dancing alone because I'm a loser.

NOW it's 2 girls, 1 guy!! no...I know these girls... -_-; I got no game.

While the picture was being taken, I screamed "I'M BAE YONG JOON FROM WINTER SONATA!!!" That's why my friend's face is like.... "wut the hell....."

SM TOWN Audition

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 09:40:46 GMT

So my Jewish friend wanted to audition for SM Town, as an actor.
He asked me to go too. Since I was there already, I was like..."Okay...I'll just audition too for the fun of it because I'm already here anyways."
When we saw the line 90% of the people were from elementry school to highschool. My friend and I was the OLDEST there...plus only ones that were foreigners. Stuck out like a sore thumb.

While we were waiting in line...every once in awhile the SM main door would open and girls would scream and run outta line to see who it was. Hankyung & one of the other super junior were walking to SM building, so everyone went crazy and wouldn't let them inside the building. HAHAHA.

Anyways...so they took in like 30 people at a time in one room. Rows were in 10 rows. First row of people go stand up and do whatever they signed up for, while the camera was rolling. From singing, acting, CF modeling, comedy.

I signed up for CF Modeling. Which is pretty much just doing commercials. Most people did singing, few people did acting. So one after the other, right away, people would do their talent.

So it was my turn...I ONLY signed up for modeling like I said. So they asked me to do 3 poses. Did 3 poses. Then they asked me if I can sing for them. In my head I was like, "CRAP! WHAT?? I didn't sign up for singing!! This isn't fair!! The actors didn't have to sing!! O crap...what am I gonna do???" The first song that came to my head I just sang. Which was "FTTS - Namjah Dabgae," hahaha...I skrewed up the lyrics a little.

After each group of 10 were done with their talent, before sitting down...they turned on hip hop music for seriously 5 seconds. We were all suppose to dance at the same time. So I danced a little. Then they asked us all to sit down except for number 76. So I was like in my head, "thankk God it's over. Howww embarrrasssing dancing with little kids." Then the person is like, "76....76!" Strangely the person was looking at me. Unfortunately I was 76. Again...I ONLY SIGNED UP FOR MODELING, but they asked me if I could dance longer...alone. Unless it's swing dancing, I don't really dance much....so I friggin didn't know what to do...so I just did some popping and booty clapping. hahahahahahahaaa. -____-'

So that was my story of SM Audition. So embarrassing.

OH WAIT...there's more. There was this Chinese girl who spoke FLUENT KOREAN. Just like that one Chinese girl who's signed with SM & does a duet with Xiah. Anyways, this girl...she was able to sing, she was able to dance. They really liked her so they asked her to do extra stuff like do a solo dance as well. Every time she did the body wave, her shirt would go up and you'd see her tight stomach. She had a REALLYYYY nice body!!!! WOW. But she talked and dressed very humbly. The reason you'd see her stomach was just because her shirt was kinda baggy. Unfortunately...she was around 15 years old. BUT OMG. I really wanted to ask her to eat dinner with us. Right when I saw her perform...I knew that she was gonna become a great singer.

Oh yeah, don't comment to me like "ohh!! you might get called back!!" Because I'm not. I'm too old and my singing, my dancing, even my model posing was mediocre. HAHAHA. It was just for fun I auditioned.
___

This little sister helped me out this day...ON HER BIRTHDAY TOO!! She could have gone out with her friends, but instead because I'm bad with directions, she brought me to this audition I had that day. Thanks alot! In return...I bought her a candy coated strawberry on a stick...hahaha

BBE-BBE-RO JOON-BEE-HA SAHM!!!
Get ready for bbe bbe ro day!! Stupidest holiday in Korea, just like Sweetest Day...just to sell sell sell. But it's fun. EVERYONE who's in college or younger celebrates it. Street stands everywhere selling heart shaped bbe bbe ro, large size bbe bbe ro, and all these beautiful decorated ones. All the couples out on the street till late at night eating bbe bbe ro. If you don't know what bbe bbe ro is...it's those cookie sticks with chocolate coating on 3/4 of the stick.

Here's me buying some bbe bbe ro for my classmates.

Went to eat dinner with buncha English Teachers from the UK at this fancy pancy restaurant in Kangnam.

I ordered a Teriyaki Pizza to myself. Very good.

Then we went clubbing. But on the way, I stopped by M2 because one of my little sisters were there. So just stopped by to say "Hi."

I went to Suwon with Johnny so I can find a highschool school uniform. Here's me trying to fit into a small one. I wanna wear school uniforms inside bars so Cops can arrest me for passing curfew and drinking underage. HAHAHA. Seriously...they do that.

There's a saying in Korea. Have a nice car, have any girl you want. Especially Kangnam Girls. So here's my BMW girls!!!

HAHAHA. Actually we have a Play Contest amongst level 3 classes. So obviously one of our scenes there's a car crash.
