my very own lotus flowers ~~~<@

Nothing much to write on today's post~~~just wanted to upload a couple photos (untouched) I took of my own lotus flowers~~~from outside the Jamsil Stadium, of all places...But oh so beautiful! I'm proud of these photos ^^  

Stay tuned tomorrow for my adventures with Yurika to the Hello Kitty Cafe!!! ^.^

A Special Gift for You!!!

Alright!!! So, as my semester here is about to end, I had to put together a final project for my culture class. I, of course, went far above and beyond the amount of time/effort I ACTUALLY needed to put into it, but I was just have WAY too much fun messing around on a couple new programs! I used some new photo editing software, which was REALLY fun to play with, and I spent so many hours playing around to make different photos....and then, this was also my first time using iMovie (thank you to Destiny for telling me what this program on my computer even is~~~I LOVE IT!!!!) I will DEFINITELY be making more of these in the future!


Unfortunately, as many of you know, I was having major camera problems, but praise the Lord, it is fixed now, right before I leave for Japan/Orientation/my new hometown! Many pictures are sure to follow! 


But as for now, I wanted to share this special treat with you~~~a little glimpse into just a FEW of the MANNNNNNY things I have had the blessing of experiencing here in Seoul. Enjoy!!! ^_^




(cool~~I like the thumbnail~~shout out to What's Up Korea! This is the best group to be a part of!!!)

(almost) faux pas of the day~

Ok, so I had such a great weekend volunteering with HOPE, teaching English in Suncheon, and I have had many things happen last week to talk about, but unfortunately (or fortunately, if I decide to blog in order to procrastinate? lol), I have finals this week, and need to take my time to hang out with my friends before I leave Seoul AND study, study, study. 


BuTTTTTTT~~~~ I didn't want to leave you completely empty-handed, so I thought I'd add another (almost) faux pas of the day, since it's always funny for you all to imagine these things happening to me because you know how goofy I am already hahaha~~~so here goes~~~I dedicate this one to my dear imos, Evelyn and Clara. ㅋㅋㅋ


During Culture class last week, this came up...don't ask me how~~honestly, I have NO idea, but somehow, in KOREAN, we got on the topic of diarrhea??? (Yeah, who knows~~if you know the people in my class, you may not be surprised lol). But annnnnnyways, I hear the word from across the room (설사, pronounced like: "Sawlsa"), not knowing what it ACTUALLY meant, and proclaim: "Oh, I do Salsa (살사, pronounced like: "Salsa"~~very similar!) dancing! Someone else (over there) does it too? Cool!" 


bahahahahaahaha HAHAHAHAHAHA


Hahaha, ooooops!!!! Yeah, I'm pretty sure "설사" dancing looks a LITTLE different from "살사" dancing >.< hhahahahaha Needless to say, I went and double-checked my writing assignment for day (where I wrote a paragraph on things I had done in Korea so far) to make sure my teacher knew which kind of dancing I had done. Hahaha


Ok, that is all for today~~I hope to post soon before I leave for my Japan visa run next week. Love you all! <3 


((((((P.S. This is also a special shout-out to Melody and Madison (because anyone else reading this P.S. will have NO idea what is going on hahaha)~~~as I typed this post out about thinking I heard one things and then proclaiming something else NOT related hahaha, I thought of the time in the dorm room~~yeah, you know what I'm talking about hahaha~~~"Man, Laura is so ADD."   Laura:" WHAt?!?? I'm Asian????" HAHAHAHAHA love you guys!!!!))))))

T-ara's [Roly Poly]

Oh, and I may have forgot to mention, but~~~~~~~definitely check out T-ara's Roly Poly Video (I'll post the M/V here) because~~~~


In Culture class last week, it was KPOP week. We learned a couple Korean songs on Monday and then found that we would be learning the dance to T-ara's Roly Poly on Tuesday in class to perform and be filmed on Thursday in the school's Filming Studio!!!! AHHHHH Embarrassing!!!! That video better NEVER get out hahaha We only had and hour and half to learn the whole dance and remember it for Thursday's filming....and we didn't have the dance instructor there with us on Thursday, we found out! Gah! Well, here are the videos of the songs we learned AND T-ara's Roly Poly to which we learned the dance~~ >.<
