Closing 2015

Hello world!

Whoa so I haven't written anything here since last January? This is.... too severe.... hahahaha

Many things happened last eleven months, I'm having 종합시험 next March noooo and I have to start my thesis immediately--like really, really immediately if I want to do it comfortably.

Too many things to write about that I don't know where to begin with... Seoul has been pretty good to me for the last year, although Daejeon is still very dear to me. Another niece (or nephew?) is coming on his/her way, yeay, but it's sad to see Karin and Belva leaving on February. Some of my friends (here in Korea and there in Indonesia) have knotted in marriage, enticing jealousy here and there xD  Out of all, I'm happy with 2015. Even the fact that I was hospitalized and had surgery back then on July, I am thankful for that. 2015 is good.

Maybe the only thing I'm not happy with 2015 is because Jooyoung enlisted so suddenly and without any words. I know every Korean men who is qualified has to serve. I have no problem with that. I am very chill with Jaejoong, Yunho, Yoochun, and Changmin enlisting (even though it means I am not able to see them at all before I go back to Indonesia). I accepted (with heavy heart) the news Kim Feel enlisting this year though it's very unfortunate that he has just begun to get recognition. However, I cannot be not upset upon Jooyoung's enlistment. He led us to think he would drop something before the year ends (and yes, he dropped another collaboration digital single, which performed better on charts compared to Erase or other tracks he ever released). However, right on the release day of Love Line, Starship decided to drop the bomb through Pikicast article about Hyolyn covering Adele's Hello. Freaking Pikicast. Not their own channel or official social media accounts. And it's not in an article solely talking about Jooyoung; the enlistment talk was just mentioned for a few moments.

Starship stripped my dream to attend Jooyoung's stage on music shows. Ah.

The most upsetting part is Jooyoung will be in army until (at least) October 2017..... while I will (hopefully) graduate on February 2017ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I will not be able to see him released from army, worse is I may not be able to see him ever againㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ah.... now I'm regretting why last year I didn't have the heart to skip classes and attended Erase stages on music shows.


Reading this post you may think all I did this year was just fangirling over Jooyoung hahaha
Truth is not like that... Soulful Jooyoung is one of the joy keeps me sane during these semesters :) But it didn't take up most of my time. Of course not. The classes and the tasks are hard ㅠㅠ

Lastly please pray for me so I can visit Apple Tree again before this year ends :D  but I don't know what I should say when I meet Jooyoung's mommy, ah...

Greetings from Daejeon!

Hello everyone!

Wow. I can't believe it's been six months since my last post! I didn't even update about my graduation, my move to Korea, and many other events :O I promise I'll update about those sometime later ^^

So anyway! It's winter now in Daejeon. It was zero degree this morning. I am proud to say I can tolerate zero degree quite well now! I think my body has adjusted with the coldness of Korea's winter. Below zero is very tough to bear, but I can manage thanks to my thick duck down jacket, scarf, long boots, UNIQLO's heat tech innerwear, layers of clothes, and of course, tons of hot packs.

First snow for this winter in Daejeon fell on December 1st. I managed to recorded a short video of the first snow and posted it on Instagram. That day everyone in my Instagram timeline, ordinary people or celebrities, posted photos and videos of first snow from all over Korea.
