We are Family.

Today I was just sitting around outside when this cute little adorable family walked by. The little girl, just a toddler, was riding this totally awesome toy motorcycle thing (except with three wheels, not two) that actually worked with like idk some motor inside it. The young mother walked along side her, steering the toy every now and then. The father walked behind them. It was the cutest sight ever ;w;

The toy was legit. I was like /jealous lol. I wish I could have had something like that when I was a kid.

That kid does not know how lucky she is haha.

Today we went out to dinner! We ate at this little Italian restaurant that didn't really have a lot of customers because it's a bit pricy (although still cheap compared to what we pay for restaurant dinners in America -.-) but the food was really good.

There was another reservation table saved and I was kinda intrigued to see who would come.

In walked this lovey dovey, cute, giggly young couple holding hands. They look only a few years older than me.

I was like = =;; /SNIFF. WHYY.

It was so not fair.

I was very much jealous.

Yes.

That's right.

I mean, you read and watch young couples in books or tv shows going out to a fancy dinner but in truth, you don't really see them. So I was a bit surprised.

ORZ. I WANT THAT.

/headdesk

They were so cute that it was gross. Not really. But still. They were seated across from each other and then the guy moves the chair to sit right next to her.

BARF.

Naw. Jaykay.

/sigh.

You know what I imagine for me in the future? LOL I want a Taiwanese dude with fobby asian hair and then I can picture us riding on his motorcycle (cause everyone in Taiwan rides a motorcycle) and asdlkf. There are too many cutesy couples here I tell you.

I wonder if I'll ever get to do anything remotely close to that. ;w; /facepalm

Ooh that reminds me.

I have finally decided to...

well. I won't say it.

This quote will describe everything.

"If he's dumb enough to walk away, be smart enough to let him go."

^_^;;;

After months of praying, hoping, and crying, I have given up. Well, actually, I wouldn't use the term "given up" because it makes me sound lame lol.

After everything I've put through, after everything I've done, I am now in the process of moving on.

Finally.

I've wasted too much time!

It's a whole world out there!

There's plenty of fish in the sea!

...right?

I used to only want that fish but fishy swam away from me. I weep, mourn, whatnot, and go find another.

I don't know when, I don't know where, but I will someday.

I've always wanted a fishy but now I don't know where to start over.

Everything's going to be okay.

That's what I'm telling myself.

Dream a Dream

Guess what? I am now officially a resident of Taiwan, R.O.C.! ^__^ YES!

We went to the officials place thingy yesterday after taking a picture and after signing some stuff, voila, he handed me my ID card! It's pretty~ lol. I don't like the picture though.

Well, it's better than my picture for my in-the-progress Taiwan passport. That one is just terrible. I know most people take decent pictures and people say "oh you look fine" but if they look at mine, they really will say, "Oh...my." I'm dead serious lol. I took it at Costco before I left. DAMN YOU COSTCO. No lighting whatsoever. There are like dark patches on my skin cause of the picture lighting and I look evil. :'(

In America, all they do is take the picture, develop it, print, and then give it to you. Here in Taiwan, they actually photoshop for you! Well, they don't make you like super gorgeous but they touch-up the photo for free, like erasing stray hairs and stuff.

Yeah. My dad says I'm not a "citizen" because "citizens" are 18 and can vote. o.O lol.

I keep having epic dreams with my favorite kstars. It's really weird. The other night I dreamt I met Karam and I got to take a picture with him.

Last night was really strange...I was with SHINee's Minho/Jonghyun who were like fighting over me? o.O It was like an asian drama...

Basically I was in an amusement park with my friend from my old school and suddenly I was at the same park except with Minho, Jonghyun. I think Minho was my supposed boyfriend but idk lol. We had been having a great time but then suddenly we all sat in this place with seats across from each other. Minho wasn't happy suddenly for an unknown reason and I was going to go microwave food so I said, "Jjong, come with me". We walked a short distance and I split a bagel in half just as he said, "Are you still choosing between us?" I went O.O and dream me suddenly realized they were apparently fighting over me (orz orz orz). I held up the split pieces to him and told him to pick one (idk i think they were supposed to represent me? or minho/jonghyun??) After toasting the bagel, we walked by and I was going to sit in my original seat, next to Minho but we returned to find him lying down, pretending not to hear me when I asked him to move over a bit. Dream-Minho was mad at dream-me and then dream-me got sad and said "Fine". Dream-me moved to sit next to Jonghyun with dream-Minho still ignoring me.

Okay fastforward a bit to a little bit later. We're still there except Minho is now on the other side of Jonghyun, igoring us while JJong tried to get me to listen to his ipod with him, saying "C'mon, just listen! O c'mon!" I shook my head and just stared at Minho, who looked in the other direction.

Fastforward some more. This random girl appeared with Minho and she snipped off a corner of the piece of purikura I apparently took with Jonghyun and laughed. I was like "Hey! WTF". I don't remember what she said, but she linked arms with Minho (who kept a neutral facial expression) and walked away.

Then fastforward. Minho was lying down somewhere against a wall and then this truck apparently backed up against it and Minho got hurt o.o Dream-me is apparently very strong and was carrying Minho to somewhere, a hospital ? Dunno.

Then suddenly we were dodging bullets. I really have no idea what goes on in my head.

Then my dad came in to close the curtains as sunlight was streaming in. The end. I tried to continue the dream but it didn't work.

LOL. I have problems.

~

Oh in other news, SMTOWN LIVE '10 IS COMING TO LOS ANGELES ON SEPTEMBER 4! 500 MILES AWAY FROM ME!

I must go :O

I needa see SHINee, Super Junior, SNSD, and f(x). Yuriko needs to see Max and U-Know. :D

The problem is that it's during our church conference thingy..

I have decided that if I somehow manage to get the impossible tickets, I'm going. I shall return on Sunday lol and still be present for a bit of the Labor Day Conference. ^___^

I'm sorry, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'll see all those...people soon again anyways.

Super junior - No Other live



Yayyy! This was an amazing performance. Everything is just perfect! They're all smiling and happy happy joy joy.

I especialy like the kiss Yesung blows during this. :D

Yay SuJu hwaiting!

Oh and D-NA's latest performance was beautiful too. Yay for normal outfits and Karam in a blazer :P

I always seem to end posts with kpop news huh?

Oh. I got my hair done today! New hilights :D Haha you can't tell that much if you look at me straight on but from the side and especially from the back you can. :)

Clash of the Azns

Yeah I haven't done anything interesting lol.

Oh today my aunt was quizzing me on Japanese while I was watching Doraemon haha. She was just like asking me how to say _____ in Japanese and vice versa. Even though she just asked me basic stuff, she was still quite amazed, especially after I told her I can read it too. Hard work (and watching anime/dramas) pays off! ^o^ (Lol I remember having my sheet of the hiragana characters in front of me during church once xD)

Then she went "Then why can't you read Chinese?"

ORZ. /headdesk. I-I can too!!! You can't blame me for never being taught the b-p-m-f characters when I was young.

Yeah.

I wanted to go see the premiere of Eclipse here ;w;

...but I got ditched orz

Don't you hate it when you make plans with people to the movies and then later they're like "Oh sorry, I already said yes to my other friends" It's like thanks for telling me now. Let down much?

Sigh. This is the second time. Now that I think about it, the last time was to New Moon o.O But I actually went with other people. Here I'm a loner ;w; *sings Oetoriya by CN Blue*

So yeah. Orz this is karma. I broke a movie promise with a friend before too. 정말 미안해!! ごめんなさい！

That's all I have to say.

~~~~~
My fangirl self has more to say ^o^

Lmao KAT-TUN is in Korea at this moment (and so is my friend ahhem /sniff) and they performed on M!Countdown...along with other stars that I follow like CN Blue, MBLAQ, etc. Their performance was recorded though, but I still found it funny how my ex-fandom is now once again in my face with my current fandom (hence, the title of this post).

Hahah I think this is a sign that I should return to JE. I mean, I haven't left completely. I'm just not into them. I knew KAT-TUN released something new but I never listened to it until now.

Interview!



Haha CN Blue's drummer, Minhyuk, is interviewing them. He's so cute, I really like him~ :)

Why am I so amused seeing KAT-TUN speaking Korean?Actually, it's KT-TUN since Akanishi Jin isn't there xP.

Hehe it was so cute when asked what Korean words they knew (at least I think that's what was asked) and Kame said "Oppa~" tehe.

LOL.
2:13
Minhyuk: Do you know CN Blue?
KT-TUN: ......
Minhyuk: CN Blue? My team?
KT-TUN: Ahh!

Hahaha!

~~~

Kan Mi Yeon just made her comeback too. Yeah I didn't who she was. LOL I'm sorry to say I wouldn't have watched her MV at all if it wasn't for MBLAQ's Lee Joon and Mir in it hehe....



Lmao at Joonie being tied up. Don't know how that skinny girl managed to move Joon from the bed to the post without him getting away o.o

Mir's rapping is awesome~

He looks so much more mature in this MV. Haha but we all know that once offstage, he's this totally dorky boy. I kinda wanna dub this song~ It's really catchy and...I love Mir's part lol. The MV's ending is kinda er...twisted lol. I sure will be checking my closet a lot now to see if Joon is inside ;)

Live performance~




asdlkf Mir stop touching her lol.

Busy Busy Busy

Over these past few days, I've traveled literally across Taiwan back and forth, over and over again lol.

Before I start, a map for your convenience lol



Okay. So I live in a nearby city of Kaohsiung and early Wednesday morning (I think?? idk today is Monday. I can't think that far back :P) I hopped on the train to Ciaotou Station, which also connects to the Kaohsiung MRT (mass rapid transit, aka bart muni whatever you call it). Then I hopped on the MRT to Zuoying Station in Kaohsiung, where I met up with my friends and then we went to the connecting high speed rail yo! There we went to Taoyuan, a city close to Taipei.

We stayed at their auntie's house and it was pretty cool. The apartment was GIANT. I loved it *u* Then we went to Ximending (by hopping on the train and then taking a taxi lol cause it's in Taipei)!!! Yeaah omg I spent so much there =3=

Then we went to eat at this Japanese restaurant fasho. I need to go back x3

I don't remember what we did on Thursday anymore ... hmm..oh now I remember! We went to this nature place and did a lot of walking. =.=;; It was kinda boring...haha we were complaining after a few minutes. But there was no turning back ;w;

It was okay after a while when we went inside these buildings and there was this cafe where we got milk tea ^___^ Milk tea makes me happpppayyyyyyy~ Although I only drink it occasionally now since its all sugar and I'm gonna get even fatter lol.

On Friday we went to the Taipei 101! Haha we actually rode this bus there and it took over an hour. I went to the top for the first time in my life. It's kinda expensive which is why my dad never took me before but her aunt paid...lol.

There were a lot of foreigners and I was like whoa~ until my friend went "You're a foreigner too you know." Ouch. Right to where it hurts /sniff. I don't get how I sound like a foreigner because I speak Mandarin just like everyone else. Today someone told me I looked like a foreigner too. I DON'T GET IT. =3=

Anyways, it was pretty interesting! :Dv The 101 has the world's fastest elevator. It took 36 seconds to go from level 5 to level 88. Haha my ears were popping.

We ate some ice cream there haha.

We wanted to go shopping at Ximending again but it was getting kinda late and we had to go on the high speed rail once again back to Kaohsiung, so we left after walking around the 101 shopping levels a bit.

So we took the 101 free shuttle to the MRT station and took the MRT (I really love being in Taipei haha idk why.) back to the Taoyuan Railroad where my friends' grandparents drove us to the high speed rail station :P We could have just gone directly from the Taipei Main Station (MRT) but we didn't have our stuff with us.

On the HSR, we were seated next to this thick around the waist Caucasian man and I was really annoyed because right in front of him was a cute Asian. What are the odds right? Although the Asian might just be gay o.o I've never met a guy who carries a purse-like bag and fixes his hair over and over again LMAO. Okay i'm being mean.

So we arrived home.

Then on Saturday night, I went through the whole process again to go to their house in Kaohsiung to stay over night because we were headed for Jan Fu San Amusement Park early the next morning!

Their dad is a doctor and they had a conference at the place, which is a giant resort thing that happens to have the biggest amusement park in Taiwan :P

It was a lot of fun ^o^ I went on this water ride and I was scared out of my wits (I'm actually a real boring person to take to an amusement park because I won't ride roller coasters :P) because there was this speed drop thing and I was dying during it, I hate the feeling of falling ya know. We got all soaked haha but it was really hot so it was nice.

I rode on this spinny thingy that's like the SURVIVOR at Great America but kind of different yet alike. I remember when my friend dragged me onto that like two years ago and I was like "I HATE YOU SO MUCH" during it. I rode on it twice here :P I'm actually starting to like it, although when it goes really far out I'm screaming for dear life lol.

It started pouring rain after that haha. These girls and a guy bought ponchos and wrapped their shoes with bags lol. It was a pretty funny sight. The thunder was scaring the crap out of me along with the lightning /shivers. I was praying that I wouldn't get electrocuted xP.

So we had dinner at the hotel in a giant room with all the other...doctor people I suppose. There was a really cute waiter there, HAHA. Oh gosh. I took a picture with him. Don't ask. It was kinda embarrassing but I got it. :P

Then we went on the tour bus thingy to drive back home~ It had a karaoke machine and they turned it on during it so my friend and I sang ^o^ Haha we sang By2, Cyndi Wang, Rainie Yang, etc...I had trouble reading some of the words though bleeh. :P

So yeah. travelling across Taiwan is fun but tiring :)
~~~~~
kPOP timeeeez ^____^

-Dae Guk Nam Ah

Okay now THIS is my favorite performance now. They all finally have good outfits and Karam's oh oh oh~ wasn't cut off, like it did the previous performance x__x;

And Jay is smiley here too! haha



EDIT:
Oh wow I fail. Today is Mika and Karam's birthday! Haha that's so cool how they both share the same birthday, June 28!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVEEES! I'll continue to support you!



Super Junior~

Haha omg LEETEUK FAIL 2:13. And then you see Eunhyuk cracking up at 2:21



Hahahaha.Oh leader :P Hahha.

MBLAQ~
Lee Joon ripped his pants! LMAO.



Awww poor Joonie. He's so embarrassed hahaha. But the reactions of everyone was funny, not the actual ripping :P

Happy Days

Okay so I finally did what I consider "exciting stuff" yesterday!

I went to Kaohsiung with 2 of my friends and it was the most amazing thing ever. It was my first time being actually out in Taiwan without my dad lol. I felt like any other Taiwanese young person hanging out with friends, riding them muni together alsdjf. :)

I did so much shopping O____O LOL I spent like half of the money I brought, and I brought a lot of money with me (to Taiwan, not for the shopping).

Haha we went to like one of those night market-like places, except in the daytime after eating lunch. My friend knew one of the ladies working at this fashion store so we got lots of discounts mwaha.

I bought a pair of flats and a pair of boots at this shoe store, but the lady would not let us bargain, not even a little bit Lol. She kept insisting they were already discounted. Oh well, compared to how much I spend on shoes in America, it's still a bargain ya know ? Just like the clothes I bought.

We were looking for an I heart TW shirt, like the I heart NY shirts but no luck so far. :(

We went into a Skin Food shop! I love Skin Food so much, after seeing Bubzbeauty's Skin Food products that she uses xD I was going to buy some on yesstyle a while ago but I decided not to so I was so happy to find a Skin Food shop. It's a really good Korean body shop brand for those who don't know haha. I bought some body products and also this sparkly blue nail polish/nail polish remover. Their remover actually smells nice, instead of the normal bad smell regular brands have lol.

We rested in a McDonalds for a while and I almost gave in to fastfood because Taiwan McDonalds are 10000 times better than American McDonalds. But I didn't :D

After walking around a bit more, we finally took the muni back to their house (they're sisters :P). They live in an apartment on the 19th floor o___o We rode in the see-through elevator there and omg I was dying lol. I have severe acrophobia x3. But their apartment was pretty cool! Haha we watched a bit of this lame drama with bad actors while we rested up and ate our seaweed wrap/drank our bubble milk teas. ^0^

Then we went off to the actual night market, at night! We didn't survive very long there though because it was burning hot and with so many people around we were dead after like half an hour. So we went off to the air conditioned department store, where after browsing a bit at the music department we went to Mos Burger! After all the times I've been to Taiwan I had never been to Mos Burger and omg I regret not going before. It's a Jap not really fast food chain in Taiwan. The burgers are heavenly. The meat is like this Teriyaki chicken and omg it's delish. It therefore does not count as me indulging on fast food, okay?

I took a lot of pics of the day but I can't upload them right now because Macs don't have the place to insert an micro SD chip and I don't have a card reader unfortunately. xP

We walked around for over 6 hours and by the end of the day we walked over 10,000 steps. I'm sure you can imagine how wiped out we were. I was falling asleep all over the place lol.

I'm seeing them again in less than two days, when I'll be going with them to Taipei for a few days. We're going to hit this amusement park, the mountains, and then Ximending, Taiwan's Harajuku. Yay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

asdlkfsdf Dae Guk Nam Ah is so amazing~~~ Karam!

I was reading something where it said their goal was to become the next DBSK and someone on youtube commented on their recent performance talking about how Karam kinda looks like Jaejoong. Yeah, Yuriko did not like that lol.

But I love Karam tehe. *heart*

Haha Jay too, can't forget Jay! Although I'm thinking maybe this is part of my azn blondeness bias :/ lol.

This is their recent performance~

Lol Karam you tease. Trying to kill us all with your dancing at the oh oh oh~ part now huh?

I think this is their best performance yet! Everyone is so energetic and just look at Jay all smiley ^___^.

Haha I really like this song's choreography! Like the bodyroll during that part of Injoon's solo lines, the body thingy idk what it should be called at the "biteul biteul biteul biteul~" part, and of course, the oh oh oh~. Haha the best part is Karam's solo dancing at the beginning of the choreo, and they cut that part out during the performance before this one. >:O

These boys are doing great so far with their comeback! Hwaiting!

~~~~~

I had another awesome dream the other day. I've never had such awesome dreams before so I wonder why now o.O

So it started off as me being somewhere, who knows where ya know. There were some guys there but I didn't pay close attention until later and then I realized...

The guys were Super Junior.

Dream-me was like O.O HOLY EFFING SHIZ IT'S SUPER FREAKIN JUNIOR! *insert incoherent speech here*

In the dream, I kinda walked around them. They weren't very peppy in my dream, some were talking to each other while others were just sitting there, kinda doing nothing lol. Then I see Yesung (eeeee my laaab) and I'm like omg it's Yesung. Cause well, I do love Yesung a lot. ^__^

Except, the dream-Yesung came up to me and said, "This is a closed set, please leave." I was like, "Oppa~~!" LOL.

One of my fears is that if I ever do meet one of the celebrities I like, they're going to think I'm just another annoying loud fan who don't give them space when they're walking to places and scream and shout in their faces.

Anyways, back to my dream. lol.

For some reason my dad was suddenly there and now all the SJ members were in this room. LOL I asked my dad to go ask Yesung if I can take a picture with him xD. My dream-dad said yes and then Yesung came out with him! ^o^

LOL we took a lot of pictures in the dream. He even hugged me in one of them~ alskdfjlskdf /spazzes.

Yeah and then later I left (when I told my friend this dream she went "What's wrong with you? Why would you leave a room full of Super Junior members?!") and then I remember thinking, "crap. I got so preoccupied with yesung I forgot to ask Donghae for a pic D:"

The End.

I wonder why Donghae lol. I mean I laab Donghae too but well idk where I'm going with this.

You can imagine my disappointment when I woke up and realized that I wouldn't be able to use a picture of Yesung and me as my facebook profile picture and I wouldn't be able to brag to my friend that I met Super Junior and her Kyuhyunnie loll. I'm a mean person.

I was so disappointed that I tried to go back to sleep and continue my dream and it worked o__o. But I don't remember what happened in my SJ dream pt2.

B'awwwww, Yesung :'(

Oh and before I forget,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM RYEOWOOK!

Ryeowook looks so calm and collected but I love how he's a total dork. xD

I LAAB YOU WOOKIE :) You're too awesome for words! Hope you had an awesome birthday celebration with your fellow members and f(x). Well, from the looks of the pic Yesung and Donghae tweeted, you guys did. :) I have to say I'm jealous but oh well. What fan wouldn't be? :P

Stumble Stumble

Haha I was going to update about my life~

But there's nothing going on right now.

My daddy is in Taichung...without meeeeee!!

Daddy, I wanna go to Taichung too!

Wait, what's in Taichung?

Idk. Anyways. I'm being weird, but what else is new?

~~~

Dae Guk Nam Ah is back!



Yaay! My friend first told me about them when they first came out. I wasn't that into them though. I mean, they were all very talented, nice looking boys and their song Admirable Boy was nice too but I didn't like it very much.

I'm loving them now! :D They're giving a more BEAST like vibe, and I mean that as in BEAST the group, not beastly lol. But that too now that I think about it.

The song is currently on loop in my iTunes :) I really like Karam and Jay haha. I've been having the Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ~ part of the song stuck in my head for a realllllllly long time...Yuriko can testify lol.

~~~~~~~~~~

Onomnom I had an awesome dream last night involving Fahrenheit's Aaron. Haha that's probably cause right now I'm watching his drama, Pi Li MIT/The Clue Collector, even though it was from 2008.

Well I'm sure you can imagine what I was dreaming about lol. Actually don't imagine it. Basically we were at school lol and I mean my regular school with my actual classmates. I have no idea why Aaron was there.

Nghhh Aaron why so pogi ;w;

I woke up and remembered the dream and how it was just a dream. ;w;

Yeah.

I'm going to Kaohsiung tomorrow with some friends! ^o^ I'm so excited~ hahaha. Okay. I'll stop here.

Aira deshita :)

Greetings from Across the Globe

Well that really only depends on where you live lol.

Anyways, greetings from my beautiful Ilha Formosa located in South East Asia, Taiwan!

I've been here for the past few days. This is my paradise. <3

My scorchingly burningly hot paradise. Nghhhhhhh I'm melting in this heat. But I know I'm going to miss it when I'm gone in less than a month now, so I'm trying to stay positive. ^o^

I haven't done much shopping yet, unless you count buying a $NT18 water bottle at 7-11 lol. That is in fact all the money I have spent here so far. Well, my own money that is. ;)

I shall blog more when I do exciting things. xD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is just a lil something I wrote:

Hey you,

Yeah, you. You, you with the face! The face that I have memorized. You there with the smile, the smile that stops my heartbeat. Yes, I’m talking to you, the one that causes my tears and yet you’re the only one that can make them stop. It feels like years since the last time I saw you, when in actuality it’s only been a few months. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about you. Do you remember me? Do you remember what we used to be? Or was it just me? Did I imagine all those times we had? I will never forget walking side by side with you. I will never forget the shy grin on your face the day we locked pinkies in a promise. I will never forget the gift you gave me and how you kept it in your pocket the entire time. You didn’t forget then so how could you forget now? If I had spoken then, would things be different now? Who knows. What hurts the most was being so close, and now so far away. Maybe one day...the heart I gave to you...will return.

Yours,
Aira
