Chopstick, Ddeokbokki and Fangirlgasm



I haven’t gotten over my SHINee fetish yet so here I am trying a Korean dish to experience a fragment of their world-renowned
existence.
I didn’t have a clue on what to order so I asked for suggestions and a plate of spicy hot ddeokbokki was served before us. I should have undertaken this journey solo but I figured that sitting alone in a foreign restaurant didn’t seem half as fun as I presume it would be so I dragged someone along. And I’m glad that I did.
Tteokbokki, also known as ddeokbokki, topokki or dukboki, is a popular Korean snack food which is commonly purchased from street vendors or pojangmacha. Originally it was called tteok jjim (떡찜), and was a braised dish of sliced rice cake, meat, eggs, and seasoning.
It’s too spicy for my own good but I’ve grown to like things that I hate. I’m not sure what the side dish is called but I think it’s Kimchi. What is up with Korean cuisine? They pile you with hot foods until you can no longer stand them.
That place also had I wall where you can write thoughts on your bias K-Pop groups and I knew I just had to pour my fan girl feelings out.
Sorry for my shallowness, it happens sometimes. Gotta unleash this monster before it starts to eat its own body.

Stranger's Flavor


Stranger’s Flavor

A person with a young heart yearns to discover way beyond his world. As he grows old, he becomes weary and settles for peace.
It all started with a bum. Breathing the same air as them seemed like a depressant to me. It is, by the way but acceptance is a mantra to try.
The hardest part of crying is trying to hold it all in. Putting on a brave face and faking a pathetic smile. Focusing on your external environment to avoid this internal breakdown from leaking out in the open.
Keeping your eyes and ears open were supposed to let the world expose it self to you but ironically according to John Green, it’s the other way around.
Words need to flow continuously, repetition is inevitable but if  you give damn it shouldn’t be that hard.
It’s that flower boy next door. He taught her  that if you don’t know the world, you can’t write a fairytale.
Your eyes are like black holes that keep drawing me in.

Alternate Universe


It came in a moment of terror.

Violated perfection.

Innocence scraped off.

Stolen purity.

Damaged soul.

Bruised identity.

Lifeless yet alive.

Waiting to be claimed.

The room is swelling, sweats dripping out of my pores as these four walls try to crush me.
At one moment I forgot to breathe, i forgot that I existed and once again i begin to drift into an overwhelming pool of euphoria.

What is real and what is not is yet to be revealed. It can continue to be hidden until forgotten, until ignored, until humanity ceases to care. Its mystery is beauty. Its mystery is suffering. Its mystery is life. It's far from sacred, hatred, exactly. Hell yes. The forbidden heightens lust , greed becomes inevitable, greed becomes a sinful norm.  Its a fantasy waiting to be stretched until life kisses it, until life abuses it, until life eats it. It starts with sweet hushed whispers, chocolate coated words then turns into bitter unbearable whimpers, moans, screams. Unbearable it may be but indulging indeed. Its not something someone could openly share because it's tainted by hunger, driven by desire. I literally want to eat like a predator savages it's prey, i just can't stop wanting, enough is clearly not enough. I'm an insatiable beast and the worst thing is, I don't want this to cease. I couldnt care less if it would destroy me, I just need it period.

Mates, Date and Chocolate Cheats by Cathy Hopkins



"Oh, I'm so ugly", wailed Nesta.


"And I'm uglier", TJ joined in.


"And I'm the ugliest of all", cried Lucy.




Fun, as light as iced tea. I wasn't completely blown though, not blown at all.

Kissing Death

She wanted to die. I've always known that she is the weakest link of the four but never did I expect her to give up fighting. I never really envisioned her life before, it's like she just popped out when we needed her. She's gentle and kind. She drowns her hang ups by swimming in liquor. I did not like it but it grew on me, just like everything does. She's not a skilled warrior, she'd probably wound herself before her enemies do but ending her life with her own sword? Do i even know her? The only logical explanation is that she's good at hiding and I must be good at ignoring. I never would have known if it wasn't blurted out into my face. I asked, of course using denial as her shield, I should have known better. I should have known. Doesn't change a thing though, its not something i could sniff my way into. It's sleeping in the past, its having an awful nightmare. But still, being a human with an open mind is a struggle for me. It's hard for me to accept this. Whatever this is.

SHINee


Korean dramas and K-movies have always been my weakness. I just can’t seem to find a counter-curse to the spell they cast in me. But K Pop? A big "Aniyo", I just find it too gay, too flamboyant, too histrionic. 
As you know, I love to eat words. Most especially mine. It’s my favorite dish. My Achilles heel. The chink in my armor.  
 Words make me vulnerable. 




Give it up for SHINee :
Leader ONEW
 Bling bling Jonghyun
 The Almighty KEY
 Flaming Charisma MINHO
 Maknae Taemin

My bias is Minho, i just can't get over his manliness. Key and Taemin are my second. Onew' s voice for me is the best. I don't like Jonghyun that much ( but I admire his powerful voice and i like JongKey). I'm a SHAWOL.

Something to read :
Something to watch:
Co - shawol :
KOreana 
   
Hello Parody 

Must watch Replay Parody (LMAO)

K Pop Problem  

Never underestimate KPOPers 
This short vacation revolved around fangirling. Korean girls ship the members to each other. I found it odd. But i think shipping a bias to another bias is better than having your bias date a non-member. It's called Korean skin-ship after all, a fan service ( disturbing at first but I'm a 2 min shipper). Or maybe its just another word for bromance. 
I can't believe that i'm shipping 2 Min, they're making me a pervert. I want to make a fanfic about 2 min and OnHo!




Jonghyun and Taemin fanservice.. 
(Taeminnie turned into a Taeman)
What do you think of Korean Skinship? Is Fanservice going too far? (Don't do that again taemin! Minho Oppa is watching :( .....)

 

Taemin .......is slowly becoming my bias (sorry Minho, i think I got it bad for this maknae who is becoming a TaeMAN. )
