Update~~

Hey all~

I keep thinking about something to write about on here. Finally when I do the writers block hits me and nothing really happens. Blargh >_>

Anyway... this past weekend I went to Myeong-dong Cathedral for mass. It was the first time I went there. I really like it there a lot it was the closest thing to home. It really helped me get over this current bout with home sickness. Easter time back home in Canada is a big family event so I was feeling a bit lonely without family to yell at and ignore. (LOL, I joke because I care).

After mass at Myeong-dong Cathedral I decided to walk around the Myeong-dong shopping area. I really have to say its one of my favourite places to shop in Seoul. Admittedly somethings are super expensive. For example H&M... I cannot believe I spent 98,000 won on clothes there >_< I don't know ... it just HAP-PEND (lol). I bought a blue/green tunic type top, a black tube top, a pair of earrings, bunch of bracelets and a white skirt (which I later returned... but I didnt end up getting my money back b/c it was a busy day and it process for a refund is too time consuming, so I got a giftcard. >_> )Then I got a long blue skirt and uniqco (sp?).

Later in the underground shopping area I bought a Clazziquai CD "Instant Pig" and in another place I bought a Big Bang CD "Remember vol. 2" (when I got home to put the tracks on my mp3 player I found out the CD although completely packaged as Remember vol. 2 the tracks on the disc are from Remember vol.1!!!! argghhh~~~ >_<* ... I wanted to listen to Seungri's track "strong baby" SO badly I love that song...oh well I think I will go back to that shop and try for exchange)

Okay that is all for now... I will try not to be too much of a stranger~


This just in... After giving my Big Bang CD a close listen all the tracks are from vol. 2 its just that the names of the tracks are from vol.1... so now I'm struggling to rename them all... >_> argh!

Shop "til you drop~~

I just got back home from an excellent shopping trip!

I went to Myeong-dong with some of my friends. Myeong-dong has to be my favourite shopping area in Seoul. There is a great number of stores all over American brands, Asian brands, even ones from Europe. Also you can get a lot of cost effective items.

Today was the grand opening of H&M in Seoul... I think it may be the only H&M in S.Korea. We wanted to go in but there was a MAJOR line to get in... as to be expected.

So we decided to busy ourselves with shopping else where. If anyone is a big fan of ZARA they will love Myeong-dong there are like 6 with a few meters of each other.
My friend Minerva was desperately looking for a new leather jacket. She spotted on at COEX Mall (which is also a great place to shop) weeks ago and was regretting not buying it. All in all she ended up buying one from Valleygirl. Valleygirl is our new fave place to shop... great selection and awesome prices.

I have been doing a lot of shopping lately... practically the entire month of February. I haven't really shopped much for clothing since I got here... just a shirt here, sweater there. I finally broke down and did some shopping finally.

Here is a list of the things a picked up

1 pair of dark blue skinny jeans
1 sweater dress
1 plaid cowboy shirt
1 racerback tank
2 t-shirts
1 tank dress

there are other things I bought too but I'm just listing the clothing....

I guess I'll end this here =)
