I'm writing this blog since I'm in a blogging mood. Well, not really. I just want to talk to someone and since I flew here alone and I really can't be myself around my relatives here, I'm happily typing my feelings away in front of my computer. I'm pretty sure no one's going to be reading this anyway. Haha

So, computer:

I boarded a flight headed to Seoul yesterday morning. I got a first class seat since I wanted to try the Kosmo Suite whenever I see those scenes in dramas. I didn't have to pay for it from my own money so I decided to mooch for the airfare as much as possible. Hehe

It was a long flight but I brought along a copy of GRRM's A Dance with Dragons, so I think I was able to pass that time productively.

Anyway, so I arrived at Incheon Airport, and there was someone waiting with my name on the paper. I still giggle remembering my loud laugh yesterday at the clicheness of that scene. A uniformed driver with my name on the paper - REALLY??? Is this a Korean drama???? ~_~

Oh. I forgot to mention that for my Korean part (about 25% of me), I don't really get along with my some-nth-cousin. Not because they're Korean, no. I can't really be rascist against Asians coz' I'm as Asian as you can get. It just happen that there are 4 kinds of Asian in me. You can't get more Asian-y than that. lmao

Wow. I'm really getting distracted. :O

So, Korean relatives. Kinda rich. I'll not go on the details but they live in Apgujeong. My grandparents live in Pyeongchang-dong. I visited my grandparents since it's my halmoni's birthday. And I have to say that it was PRET-TY awkward. I've seen moni last year when we went to America, but the rest of my Korean family I haven't seen for at least 5 years. 

And I have to say: WOW. I was pretty sure before that the korean dramas I've been watching are highly stylized depictions of how the rich people live, but DAMN - I can't be more wrong. This is not to say that all the rich Korean families live like this, but it's apparently true for my relatives. The birthday party was this ridiculous catered affair with all the courses and the fancy table settings and perfectly manicured gardens and - I'm rambling. 

It's not all that bad. The food's great. The view's great. I had a pretty dress on. I probably would've enjoyed it if someone talked to me informally, but unfortunately, all my female cousins are either too young or about the same age but act like the antagonists in dramas. Plus, I'm not fluent in hangul, and they are completely incomprehensible not fluent in english. So, there I was, sitting on a log bench in my dress and flats (which, by the way, I got scoffed about because they're all wearing heels. Heels?? In the garden?!?!?!), reading fanfiction on my iPhone, and sometimes looking up to the view of the hill(?) side, sighing in the air. (Hahaha hope you get that picture. Pretty darn dramatic right?)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, I pretty much crashed after that. That was last night. Today, I woke up in the afternoon as my time sense kinda adjusted, and I decided to spend the day in Itaewon. Fortunately, I found out that some university friends were spending a week in Korea so I met up with them. YEY SOMEONE TO TALK TO FINALLY!

Right now, my friends and I just parted ways. They're hitting a club (I think). That's not my scene so I opted out. So, I'm in my lonesome again. What to do...

Should I go cliche all the way and drink soju alone? HAHAHA

Maybe I'll hit the kpop shops tomorrow. Im'ma buy the repackaged EXO album since I'm interested on that photo album thingy package. Maybe some posters too. And accessories. And I'll hit some makeup shops and boutiques for my k-fashion fix. Weeeeee~

Okay computer. I'll be off now. Gotta food trip. I heard it's an okay evening out tonight. See you later!~

EDIT: I suddenly remember the MAMA 2013 awards! I'll be live streaming it!!!! Woooo go EXO!
