• 08/08 eid-ul-fitr. went to pray in jeonju in the morning and go straight back to work afterward (okay I did some grocery shopping and went to a twosome place first :p). it was quite uneventful and lonely, i feel quite sad tbh (though i talked a bit with my family until the connection got cut off).
• 08/10 medical check-up; skip most of the procedures since it was "unnecessary" (b/c i'm still young!haha) but the barium drink was still gross and the baking soda still stressed me out. the eye examiner guy was really funny though (내 바름이 좋잖아? and 끝났습니다! 브라보! lmao). went to watch snowpiercer (that shit was intense, not exactly perfect, but fucking intense) and hanok village later on (ate probably one of the best 팥빙수 I've ever had at 달 이야기 ㅠ).

• 08/18 live on earth: wanted; i'm beat (drank 박카스-F for instant energy supply lol), decided not to get any merch, saw yongguk's siblings, my spot is surprisingly great?? i didn't have to jostle around with the crowd but when the boys came to the front, they were basically in front of me :') warrior as the first song ofc, surprisingly lots of fansite admins in the same pit with me (and so many chasing around w/ security during the perf lol), they sang the longer version of secret love~, daehyun is so unphotogenic it's actually amazing, magnae stage aaah~ jongup you cutest little goober you ㅠ sexy clapifuckinghateeverythingsklfjsl, hurricane is actually great live(!), live band companion!! (the pot and bap comparison though..you guys are lameeeee lol), still meh about bad man idek *shrugs*, the most handsome matoki is here!! looking even more handsome *^*, photo time! and goodbye as the last song. daehyun threw some towels and these girls was basically fighting over it beside me (the one who came over and asked just to touch the towel though lmao). ps: my friends throw a surprise for my birthday but i was unfortunately half awake most of the time ㅠ
• 08/24 seoul (again); went to bundang for bungee jumping but the it was already fully reserved :( getting excited just by the fact we can saw the tunnel on sinbundang line subway lmao, deux creme pie was okay..nothing really special, went all the way from sinsa to samcheongdong only for patbingsoo (true story), banpo bridge: actually a really nice spot to play around :) rainbow fountain! some people perform with fire thingy! fireworks! what's hanging around in korea without 치킨! 치킨! someone proposed his gf! 치킨! back to daejeon and went karaoke until 4am! fuck yeah!
• 08/31 last time playing out w/ prisa & k riki ㅠ picnic outside KIMM building lmao too bad the pizza has got cold already, basically looting all of their unused stuff (from corned beef to pliers), cancelled the bowling plan since we need to wait for 2 hrs not to mention the lack of confidence, went to arcade instead (oh ate patbingsoo first), i sucked at dance dance revolution ㅠ the new tekken though ugh pretty graphics *^* made the guy next to prisa kept on stifling his laughter by our (or my?) antics, yes i'm embarrassing i know, then karaoke, then stay on 대전시청 angel-in-us until the next morning (and somehow we started to tell creepy stories idek) and catch the first bus back :')

september

• 09/14 seoul exhibition outing (lol); rainy morning ;; mucha exhibition: ugh his artworks are breathtakingly beautiful *^* (and it was pretty much the complete collection!), the in-process photographs are esp interesting, those color lithography prints and slav epic *^*. secret museum exhibition: didn't plan to see it but the installation outside kinda sold me out haha it was interesting but not /that/ engaging tbh.. the room where they projected van gogh's starry night was amazing though. takashi in superflat wonderland: contemporary art is a hit or miss for me and some of his works are really interesting yet i don't really get the others not to mention that rodin's gate of hell was distracting me b/c it's ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! and fortunately they allowed photograph here :). steidl book making: already got in the museum but decided not to go inside since it was really crowded so i just decided to stroll around hyoja-dong. this area is great! ps to self: i need to go around here again later (and hoping to somewhat meet kim dongwan haha)

october

• 10/05 i lost my mind and decided to go to seoul on friday and spent the night at jongno angel-in-us (after jugling b/w culcom, right decision though). watched the sunrise b/w the building in gwanghwamun square while drinking banana milk :') and then walk around some more. it was strangely liberating. LIFE photography exhibition: gorgeous photography esp since it features my favorite photography of camus and einstein's desk (forgot my cellphone on kfc btw). seoul internation fireworks festival: got to yeoido park around 4:30 and it's just people. people everywhere. the firework of second team though (just found out that it's japan) was absolutely stunning and gorgeous *^* had to walk crossed the mapodaegyo bridge to get to the mapo station since there's too many people, it was a nice walk one tbh :) got late for the last bus to daejeon and ended up taking the taxi heheh i was beat though ;;
• 10/11 met with ara again after awhile and even though i hang out with korean and spanish this time..we ended up talking about pokemon anyway lol (also figured out the cafe rows on jeonbuk uni downtown!)
• 10/13 met up with rizka and gadis, walk around jongno and sinsa, got the 19:30 bus, and i'd love to walk back but i'm tired and there were no stars since the sky is too dark today, so i took a taxi instead.
• 10/18 KIST 사랑나눔 걷기 대회. i know places (in this case olympic park area) better than korean themselves lol. yet bad news comes in flock: forgot to bring my debit card. need to go back to JB tomorrow morning. and waiting too long on ewha.
• 10/20 TOPIK test. i'm doing it half-conscious as usual. the reading is actually harder than writing though ;; went to L군 cafe and realized (again) that i'm the happiest when i am drawing.
• 10/27 i'm so tired but went to gwangju anyway lol. watched gravity and feel even more depressed. ate some steak and cheesecake (and drag dev with me all day). bless the uniqlo on chungjangroㅠ
