166. mad sounds, seoul

15th September 2014,

On Monday, little sis and I left for Seoul just for a couple of days. By the time we arrived in Seoul, it was already evening. We went straight to "check-in", we weren't staying at a hotel this time because we were on a budget. So we tried to do a home-stay via airbnb, we found a pretty cheap place to stay hosted by an old married couple.

After putting down my stuff, we went to Yeongdeungpo Station to meet up with little sis's friend who was going to bring us for dinner. We went to a shopping mall called Times Square and had Andong Jjimdak for dinner. It's mostly steamed chicken in Korean soy sauce but the one we had was mixed with various vegetables, prawn, noodles, dumplings and a ton of stuff I can't really remember now but it's soooooooooooo good. I probably ate too much.


After dinner we didn't do anything much but let her friend show us around Yeongdeungpo and went home not long after because we were too tired from not sleeping much from the previous night.

165. gulliotine

The last two weeks have been so crazy that I barely had time to sit down and actually write or even think about life. The previous week little sis and I decided to go to Seoul and the last week was spent mad travelling around Japan since it's little sis's last week here, and today to be exact, will be her last day in Tokyo. I'm pretty sad that she's leaving but that means I'll have a lot of time to myself and I actually need the time to concentrate on getting life back together - job hunting, love life, social life, my own personal things like painting and doing art.

I'm really happy with the last week travelling around Japan, it feels like last year again in February where we had too much fun. I'm glad we got to explore, go on adventures and even getting lost in music once again, plus I'm back with a new tattoo on my left arm and I feel more complete.

The next couple of entries will just be about the last two weeks, unless something crazy decides to happen once again. My whole body is aching especially my neck and head, I guess that's the only way to tell that I've enjoyed myself, maybe too much again.

164. h

This week has been so busy, the last couple of days just flew past without me even realising it.

On Monday, I took little sis to have good sushi in Shibuya, then later on that night we went drinking and something funny happened at the bar we were at. In short, I just didn't expect to "bump" into people so quickly, we were barely through our first drink when someone I know of tried talking to us. The thought of it makes me laugh a bit because I would talk to Yuri about this guy sometimes, nothing happened at the end of it since both of us brushed him off and we left early to catch the last train.

Tuesday was pretty hectic,  I was running late to meet up with some friends to go to Kawasaki. We were invited to support our friends' band. I honestly had no idea what to expect because I don't listen to any of the bands playing that night but was pretty surprised with how good the bands were live. Later on, after the show ended, we went to the after party and everyone got pretty drunk quickly. At one point even, the guys were dancing around. The guy I hung out with a couple of weeks ago kept hugging me and I was pretty weirded out but I excused him since he was drunk and tried to escape from him by talking to another girl at the party.

She was nice because we were the only girls, but later on, that guy came back and put him arm around me and kept telling the other guys there that I'm cute which really made me embarrassed, so I tried to escape from him again for the rest of the night and talked to my friend who, thankfully, wasn't drunk. We hung around till 8am-ish and I got home at almost 10. It was a fun night and I don't remember most of it because it's all a blur now.

It was raining really heavily on Wednesday, so both little sis and I decided to stay in and she made dinner! I'll miss her cooking once she goes back home.

Yesterday was actually my favorite day of the week so far. Little sis and I were walking around Harajuku when H texted me to ask me where I was. An hour later, I met up with him and his friend and went to get burgers at a restaurant in an alleyway in Harajuku. I was so happy that they had bacon on their menu! And it wasn't steamed Japanese bacon, it's real bacon! I was so happy that H kept telling me how he thinks I'm cute when I get excited. -__-


I was so happy with our meal~ We were actually planning to go to the bar for drinks and spend the night out but the bar he usually goes to was having an event since it was their fourth anniversary, so we walked down the street and settled for another cafe nearby.The cafe was so cute, we could choose to sit on the terrace or sofa and the decorations were adorable.



I was telling little sis how cute the cafe is and how perfect it will be for a date, and once I said that, H asked " Aren't we on a double date?" I was really surprised because it just didn't cross my mind at all that we were.  But I told him later yes we were, and re-ensured him that I think he's cute too. (Always had for like 3 years now... ) Little sis and I had Sangria while the guys had beer, we were just talking and talking, and I was making fun of H because he was so drunk the other night he can't remember anything at the after party. 

It was sorta funny to see how awkward little sis is with guys. I'm glad she enjoyed herself too, H was mostly just talking to me about some other random stuff and told me not to be so paranoid over the past. He told me some personal stuff too which I thought was nice. Before we knew it, the cafe was closing and since all of us didn't know what to do, we all decided to head home. H promised me again to let me watch him skateboard the next time we meet, and he asked me if it was alright if it was just the two of us, which I thought was kinda cute.

So we parted ways at about 1am.


It's funny how things play out, to be perfectly honest, I'm not putting much faith into H after everything that has happened in the last couple of months before meeting him. But H actually surprises me more than he should, for the longest time, I always pictured him to be entirely different from who he really is. I just hope things still go nicely because that is never how it is for me.

I'm leaving for Korea just for a couple of days already on Monday. I can't believe I'm actually excited about that. :)

163. rainy weather

This week has been rather unproductive, little sis and I didn't get to do much because we fucked up our sleeping patterns by drinking coffee at The Roastery at night and also, because of the rainy weather. Most days I only get out of the house for dinner with her or meet up with my friends to go to that one bar for drinks.

Right now, life has been kinda stressing me out. I wish people would leave me alone, I can't force things to happen, I wish people could just see it that way. Thank god for friends and my sister that actually understand what I am going through. Hopefully next week will be better, since this week has been so unproductive, little sis planned out things to do next week before we leave for Korea the week after just for a couple of days.

I can't believe it's her last three weeks here, so we're going to make her time worthwhile. The week after we will be in Korea and the following week we will be going around Japan. I can't wait to bring her around Nagoya.

162. little monster, royal blood


One of those rare days I discover a new band and am totally in love.

PS. How can there be no guitarist? That bass
