Quarter life crisis
- I’m dreading New Years. Because, in Korea, it only means I automatically turn one year older. 25. SHIT.
- Someone told me I look “younger than my age” the other day. I’ve never gotten that before in my life. Yes, I know, that’s a whole ‘nother problem. But, that shit is not a compliment. Shit only means I’m at THAT AGE.
- I feel the need to lie about my age. Yes, I WAS born in 1990, ACTUALLY.
- I chopped my hair off on a whim last week. The first thing someone asks me at work is: Did your boyfriend break up with you? …. I did not know that, in Korea, if you do something drastic to your hair, it means something bad happened. Alas, I am a walking billboard for “girl going through some crazy ass shit” at work. Hey, my grandma likes my haircut though. IN YOUR FACE.
- It hit me today that it’s Christmas this Saturday. In Korea, Christmas is not about Jesus, but couples doing couple-y things. Like wearing matching sneakers. And purchasing overpriced holiday drinks at Starbucks to receive a “free” planner for being a dumbass and falling for that shit. I picked my planner up like a boss last week. Watchu know about that.
- The age range of men I’d be willing to date has suddenly widened. Oh yeah, I can do 35. Oh, 90s baby? Sure!
- I have student loans up the ass I need to start repaying. The New Year means bye bye grace period. Grown up problems.
- I did not intend for this post to be a bitch fest, but DAMN THIS SHIT FEELS GOOD! (Okay, this doesn’t really count.)
- I thought it’d be brilliant to list 25 reasons, but my brain just died and I can’t think of anymore reasons.
Okay, bye.
I just learned that the Seoul International Bakery Fair was last Saturday. And I missed it. Sad times.
Also, LOVE THIS.
MUST…GO…BACK…
This picture makes me happy.

I was sad that it melted, but I got over it after the first bite.

pterrible
can someone kindly tell me where this tumblr has been all my life?
Brilliant!
And idk why I find this so adorable. I think it’s because I’m imagining a little kid asking this. Also because I love yogurt. But it’s probably some grown ass man. And in that case, shit ain’t cute.
Finally! I heard about this video way back when Beyonce confirmed she was pregnant and have been meaning to watch it. Or actually, I heard it pans to Jay-Z at the end, which was pretty much the only reason I wanted to watch it. But I couldn’t find a rip of it on YouTube then and apparently I can’t access videos on MTV.com in Korea, so I forgot about it until today. I’ve been into watching YouTube videos on my phone on the subway, and I remembered this video. The performance was whatever, but JAY-Z. WHERE IS MY JAY-Z???? No, I don’t have a crush on Jay-Z. I have a crush on ‘Yeeee I’m gon be a baby daddy now I’m gonna act all cute and giddy but git off me Kanye’ Jay-Z.
Mindless musings
Wanna know how I know I’m getting older?
I’m getting over my fear of lipstick.
Clearly, the cheap metallic/plastic packaging and fruity scent have made the transition into the ‘I’m a big girl now’ world much easier. The “my lips” inscription? Cherry on top. Welcome to Korea.
But very into experimenting with bright lip colors these days. I’m determined to find the perfect red and conquer my fear once and for all!
And loving this.
One of my Korean coworkers saw my nails and said I looked like a vampire. Best compliment ever… Welcome to Korea.
Finally bought a new bag! My first big purchase in Korea.
Old bag on the left. New bag on the right. Spot the difference.
I only brought one bag to Korea, and I was getting along just fine with it. Until I packed some sponge cake to take to work and it morphed into…not a sponge cake. So, naturally, when I spotted the new bag, the first thought that came to mind was “Nice! My 빵 won’t get smooshed.” Yeah, what. I judge a bag by its ability to safely transport carbacious goodies from point A to point B.
