I’ve been meaning to blog for a while xD
I’ve been busy lately~ Because of college applications. ]: BUUUUUT the deadline for UC applications [I’m not applying to any private schools] was November 30th so IT’S ALL OVERRRRR! :DDDDDDD I went through two weeks TOTALLY stressed out and it was crazy and terrible and blah!
I finished my essays last Tuesday and submitted everything last Wednesday. ^^ Then Thursday–Thanksgiving Day–my parents and I went to LA!
It was SUUUCH a fun trip! Well in others’ eyes it may not seem fun, but I enjoyed it a lot. :] It was a great stress relief, taking a vacation after all the apps stress. And it was cool/really fascinating/refreshing to be around family around my age! I don’t have any siblings and the only cousin I have in North California is married; he’s in a different generation from me. All my cousins are in, like….. Australia. Lol.
But over in LA, I have two little girl cousins! And two uncles that’re in college! I was all buddy-buddy with them when I was like, 5 xDD but then it became kind of like they were the two older brothers [they’re actually cousins] and I was the annoying, pesky, stupid, clingy, little sister. :/ During my last couple visits to LA, it was EXTREMELY EXTREMELY awkward.. ^^;;;
This time, it was EXTREMELY awkward as well. xD
But it makes me really happy that, with the uncle whose house we lived in, I was able to break the ice a little.. :D He’s quiet and seems to shut most people out and he only talks a lot with people he’s comfortable with. And I could tell that he really used to always look down on me because I was a stupid little kid.
But this time I feel like he sees that I’m different :D Eventually, playing with the little girls made it less awkward, and I actually initiated a conversation with him *______* I asked him about college and stuff lol. ‘Cause he was accepted to UC Berkeley, one of the places I applied to. And he treated me like someone that’s around his age. He’s like me in the way that he also doesn’t like to initiate, but he eventually even asked me a question. ;w;
It makes me really happy. I feel accomplished. I’m grateful to him.
Also, while we were there, we heard news of one of our relatives passing away. D: And I heard a lot about how it’s so unfortunate for his wife, who’s also sickly and is blind and is now alone…
And I really got closer to my parents through this trip. :] And because they saw how rude the other kids are, they finally realized that I’m actually a really good kid LOL :DDDD I mean, I’m generally polite and I get good grades and I don’t go out and do bad things–what more do they want? They always made me seem like a bad kid. ;_; I’m not~ Keke.
Well anyway, I think this Thanksgiving weekend trip made me a more grateful person. Which is GREAT because that’s what Thanksgiving is all about. :] And I feel happier and more relaxed and I feel better about myself. Idk, but it was a very productive trip! 8D
Also I got to go Black Friday shopping and THIS MAKES ME HAPPY. Before last week, I hadn’t went shopping since August and I was an extremely deprived girl ;__; I NOW HAVE NEW JACKETS HEHEHEHE. >:D I have invested in not freezing this winter!
AND. I TOTALLY RAIDED KOREATOWN.
MAN.
I SHOULD MOVE TO LA.
KOREATOWN <3
[And might I mention that it was infested with tall, cute Asian guys? Which my school doesn’t have? Just sayin’.]
I walked into a Korean music store and walked back out half an hour later $91 poorer. :DDDDD They must make hella off suckers like me~
They seriously know how to get us too. What with their stickers and keychains and calendars and mousepads and posters and fans and socks with K-pop idols on them….. Srsly. Lol.
I mostly bought things for other people though. :] But can’t post pictures of those ’cause I can’t have them finding out!
But yeahh! I gotz ma Super Junior BONAMANA album finally >:D I ordered it before but it got lost in the mail and nothing could’ve been done about it ’cause of the circumstances.
I don’t really like this version’s cover though. :P If I had known before I bought it, I would’ve waited for the OTHER music store where they had multiple versions. Oh and with this came a photocard of Sungmin. xD
AAAAAND I got my Super Show 2 DVD!!!! ^____^ And I got my dad to compensate the money for it since I was going to have him order it for me online anyway lol. We saved on the shipping >:D

And I had to buy this VERY HARDCORE Pocky because I’d never seen anything like it before. xDDDDDDDDD It was goooo~ooood!
