dakeya :(

back in august, when i was in seoul, i met kibum in a place called dakeya. i love the place so much. so so so so sooooo much. everything about it is so nice. the atmosphere is nice, the food is GREAT and the people who work there are all very nice and the people who come there are awesome.

i've always wanted to go back there one day. i wen't there everyday when i was in seoul. i remember the very very first time going there. i was sooooooooo overwhelmed. i'm finally in the place where kibum often visits. and there were photos and autographs of famous kpop stars all over the wall. i wassssss soooo happy. kibum was there, after school was there. i just have the wish of being lucky enough to see them all come. they have the best kimchi bokumbab and rice bowl. and super spicy jjampong ramyeon.

i remember seeing kangin and i was like woooaaaaa. this is the first time i've seen a celebrity up close and not on some event where i'm surrounded by other fans. i remember hearing sumin calling kibum to come to dakeya but kibum couldn't make it. i remember FINALLY meeting kibum in dakeya and him coming up to my table and having a conversation with me and ajeng. i remember every fucking detail that night. how kibum looked, the words he said. aaaaaah i'd give to experience that again. i'd do anything seriously.

a few days ago, i heard that sumin-ssi (the owner) was going to close down dakeya. it's soooooo sad. i always wanted to go back to dakeya whether or not i meet kibum again. i want to relive that night. to remember every single detail that happened that night sitting on the exact seat i sat on back then. drinking the same drink. ordering the same food. it was such a happy place. i don't know the reason for it being closed down. it could be anything. but sumin's tweets have been seriously sad :( the saddest was

"in 2 hours time, dakeya will disappear"

"1-6-2010 dakeya opened, 16-1-2012 dakeya closed down." and he twitpic his picture sitting in the steps to dakeya.

it's so depressing aarrgghhh. and just now he tweet

"in 1 hour, dakeya will disappear"

Ajeng and agis took a lot of pictures of dakeya back when we were in seoul. i'll post some of them.

thank you for taking such awesome pictures you two!

dakeya, sumin-ssi, it's been great knowing you! i hope new dakeya will open soon and it'll be as awesome as the gangnam dakeya we all love :)

zombie apocalypse prep

once, someone posted on 9gag the words:

"That awkward moment when you realize you have no plans for where you are going in life, yet you know exactly what you are going to do in a zombie apocalypse"

and when the postsecret app was still active, i remeber seeing 2 secrets

"i wish the zombie apocalypse would happen so i my abilities won't be measured by what i learn in school"

(something like that, i don't really remember the exact words)

"if the zombie apocalypse happens, i'm getting back with my ex, he has a plan"

well, i, on the other hand have also prepared my own list of zombie apocalypse survival. here, check it out:

1. plant ALL the potatoes!

it is said that humans can live out of potatoes alone. potatoes are also ngenyangin and healthy so if the apocalypse happen, i'll have to prepare eating this for the rest of my life

2. stock my house with indomie

this will only last for a few months though, for the rest, i'll have to stick with the potates

3. put out tons of buckets to catch rainwater

where else am i going to get water? i'll have to learn to make fire by rubbing 2 wooden sticks together

4. make my fence stronger, somehow

5. learn how to use a sword

also learn how to shoot using a gun, but guns are loud and they attract more zombies. but it's still a skill that you must be able to do

well, those are the main points. the rest i will have to figure out as i go. i have a feeling indonesia will have more survivors than US. we have huge ass fences here, at least some houses do

the walking dead

The Walking Dead is officially a new obsession of mine. i've watched all the episodes and read all the graphic novel volumes. it's awesomeness i swear! i mean, i guess it depends, since not everyone is interested in zombies, but this one seriously rocks.

The story is about a bunch of people who managed to survive a zombie apocalypse and how they try to stay alive. they each have their own skill that makes them able to survive this long in a world swarmed with zombies.

My favorite favorite character is Andrea. She's 26 and before the zombie plague she works as a clerk in a law firm. her ability is gun shooting. she has amazing aim. she's pretty and blonde but isn't a damsel in distress like most other blonde female characters are.

when the zombie apocalypse happen in real life. i want to be just like andrea!

more about kim kibum

hehe sorry, hope you don't get bored.

being a snower for a year, i have come to learn almost all the fun facts that has been going around about kibum oppa. one thing for sure is i'm sure we snowers hold on to a lot to kibum's answer to his 100 question interview.

1. there's this part where he says that the eyes it's what he notices first when he first meets a girl.

it's true :)

When you talk, he would really listen and looks you right the eyes. like really look at you. honestly it really does kill me when he did that, but i managed to get my words in order though i felt it all jumbling up in my head.

2. i'm sure you're all familiar with his killer killer smile? they're A GAZILLION times hotter in real life. they are really lethal and killer. they're perfect in every way. esp his teeth. aaarrrgghh his teeth are just soooooo amazing.

3.SNOW WHITE.

he really is white as snow. and it seems sooooooo smooth it's like there's milk falling on top of his skin. it's like silk.

4. HIS VOICE

ORGASMIC. esp when speaking english

5. his arms of sex

they really are that sexy. seriously. and they look so much better in real life

dear snowers

dear snowers/dwarfs/fans of kim kibum everywhere.

I'm sure we all know that our kibum oppa is very special. He has a killer smile, he has arms of sex and he is just perfect in every way.
when he decided to take a hiatus from super junior, many were disappointed. i'm sure back then there were so many snowers, but lately they've been fading more than ever and only a few very loyal ones remain.

I am new to being a fan of kibum. probably only about a year. but i fell for him hard, really hard. never in my life have i ever fell for any othe celebrity like this. i like everything about kibum and no other kpop star can change that.

yes being a snower is really really right, i'm sure we all know that. i read a post from a very wonderful snower named katie (press here for link) and it inspired me to write this post.

My purpose for writing this post is because I feel that it IS really hard being a snower, and i'm more than thankful to have all you snowers to wait for kibum so i feel less lonely and i can never thank you all enough for the picspams and translations and fun facts about kibum. An update from each and every one of you is what i look forward to each day.

A few days ago i was very very very fortunate to be able to meet kim kibum and converse with him directly. What i can tell all of you is, i promise you, he is sooooooooooooo nice. i mean, really really really nice. he remembered me from earlier that day when i was only a fan among other fans and he came up to me and actually started a conversation with me, a huge fan of his. he's very very humble and he doesn't even show the least bit that he's famous. he's just amazing. sometimes i am still wondering how i made it through that 15 minutes alive. i thought i was going to die right then and then from happiness.

I have no proof that i have actually met kim kibum, i dont think taking pictures would be appropriate since he's already being so nice and treating me more like a friend than a fan. all i have is an autograph that might as well been meant for all you snowers out there.

After talking to him and actually how he is in person (we both stayed at dakeya hours after we finished conversing) i can tell you each and every one of you that he is DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT. i promise you that, i guarantee you that. he is sooooo nice, has a really big heart and he deserves fangirls like us. i mean come on, how many korean stars do you know comes up to their fans and treats them really nicely. we all know that that's unnecesarry but he chose to do that and i'm sure he would do the same with any one of us.

I hope you don't ever give up on kim kibum, he's super awesome and he's making a comeback soon. what with all the endorsements, upcoming drama and magazine article, we can be sure that he's ready to strike back more than ever. so for snowers everywhere, if you ever feel tired and impatient, and thinking of downgrading kibum in your list of bias, i hope you will remember that he will make an awesome comeback and that he's a really good person and deserves to have all of us as his fans :)





ps: he's a really good listener. he would really listen to you when you're talking and look at you right in the eyes.

kim kibum, mind-blowingly amazing

So i was lucky enough to visit seoul for 8 days from 17-25 august. remembering that on august 21 is kibum's birthday, i just had to find him, no matter what it takes. what i did when i arrived in Seoul is i went to Dakeya every single day. dakeya is a sort of japanese restaurant, more correctly to be said as an izakaya, google if you dont know what it means.

The reason i went to Dakeya every day is because it's kibum's favorite place to hang out and the owner of the place is kibum's best friend, park sumin. he was really nice. on our 3rd day he told us that super junior kangin was coming and he really did. and sumin asked us who our favorite member was. i said it was kibum and he said he could call kibum to come right then. he did call kibum but he didn't come, after all it was his birthday, he was probably doing something somewhere else whatever and wherever that is.

Time passes and before i knew it i only had two full days to spend in Seoul. 2 days, that's all i have to find kibum oppa. Ajeng was already having her luck with KiChul and i'm just horrified that i would have to return before i meet kibum oppa. Than the next day, a miracle occured. miracles actually.

kibum tweeted that he was filming his new drama in KyeongBok Palace. i went there straight away with only changing my clothes. When i arrived, the huge gate at the front (GwangHwaMun) was closed, and the tourist information also said it was closed. i decided to go around the gate and try to find another entrance. turns out there is one other entrance, it opens straight to the parking lot and there were people wearing ID tags and hanboks everywhere. i knew i was in the right place.

i sat at a corner and waited for about an hour. i know this is where the actors were going to have lunch cause the actresses just finished theirs. turns out i was right, when the actresses left, the actors came out and there he was, kim kibum oppa in korean traditional clothing. me and a few fans starting panicking and scattering all over the place. i chose to stand somewhere in front of the toilet so that if he decides to go to the loo, he would pass me. the luck that i have, he really did head for the loo and he passed right in front of me. sooooooooo close. we were only a meter away and i was completely shaking and i couldn't move, i couldn't even say anything. this is the kibum i've been dying to see for ages and ages. he's actually here and he's a million times hotter than he ever was on photos/videos. his snow white skin glowed even more under the sun and he was absolutely gorgeous. when he passed me, i finally managed to say, 'annyeong oppa, happy birthday.' he then turned his head back and smiled and me. not a huge smile like he usually does, but the smile was there, a smile of sincere. and i was in heaven.

we weren't allowed to do much that time, we can't take pictures, his manager is always around and he only answered what he needed to answer. we walked back with him to the set until finally he said "ok, bye bye" and disappeared behind the gate. that day, for the whole day, i was totally kibumized. terkibum-kibum. kibum is all i can think about and he's all i can talk about. i was completely over the moon. i went to some corner away from the other fans and i sobbed quitely, happy happy tears. i was exhilarated.

i decided that i should go to dakeya again that night (as usual) and tell park sumin that i just met kibum! so later than night, me and ajeng head for dakeya. when we arrived, i saw from outside a figure so familiar it's unmistakeable, it must be him and no one else. kim kibum was inside dakeya. jesus H! i was meeting him for the second time that day! right when i was completely swooned by him, and i get to meet him again. this is all to good to be true. i pushed the door and went in and acted as calm as i possibly could.

i took a seat facing him, and all of a sudden he was waving at me, "hello!" There was only wall behind me so it was none other than me he was waving at, and i managed to wave back, "hello oppa, you remember me?" and he answered "yeah!" i sat down and started crying again, this is too much. there were about 8 fans earlier today and he remembered me. i stopped myself from crying cause it would be too embarrassing if he saw me. so i calmed down and ordered a drink.

i really enjoyed being in the same room as kibum. i love his voice more than anything. his talking voice i sometimes play over and over in my ipod cause i love it so much. i just wish i could understand what he was saying, haha. after quite a while, not sure how long, like 15-30 minutes, he stood up from his table and walked towards the toilet, i looked down and pretend to be busy with my mobile cause the only way to get to the toilet is by passing my table. i dont want to stare while he walks past me. so i looked down and acted busy and it truly was the shock of a lifetime when he didn't go to the toilet, instead he sat on my table on the chair opposite of me. i think i had DIED. there is NO WAY this is happening. things like this only happen in movies and fan fiction. i was definitely in a dream. i just sat there agape when he took a glass and offered it to me. i just stayed still and had no idea what to do, i was pretty much still in shock and my friend, ajeng, came to be the heroin and poured a drink to his glass. when kibum's glass was filled he put it forward and clinked it against my glass. "nice to meet you" he said. and can only reply with "nice to meet you too" and he started the conversation by asking "so where do you guys come from?"

i dont want to go into to much detail into my conversation cause well, it is private. hehe. it was nothing personal i swear. if you're really dying to know then you can contact me, but i can't write it all down here. apart from it being private, it is too long to write anyway. what i can tell you is it all ended in a handshake. he was the one who offered his hand and said again "nice to meet you" and when he held my hand, i didn't want to let go, i held on to in until he had to kind of pull it away. it was embarrassing but it was too beautiful, too smooth, and too surreal that i really didn't want to let go.

physically, i daresay photos and videos don't do him justice. his skin is snow white. really smooth smooth skin it's like there's milk falling through it. and his oh-so-famous killer smile, it's so much better in real life, it really is killer. and when i talk he really looks at me, like really listens while looking into my eyes and that sometimes causes me to just fly to space with pure happiness. and his teeth, it's THAT perfect. it's exactly like in the pictures, so right, so neat, so white. and his cheeks really are that chubby you wish you could just go ahead and kiss it.

what he was wearing that time was a black cap, a white armani exchange wife-beater, black khakis, a gucci belt and crocs. haha. it's not the first time i've seen him wear those stuff.

all in all, it was an AMAZING experience. it was EXTRAORDINARY. i like kibum THAT MUCH and i was soooooo lucky to have him to come to me and be soooo nice :'''''''')

ps: oh, and i can tell you he speaks perfect english. so much better than what we see in full house

robots

contrary to my last post, i've been studying every single fucking day to hopefully get smarter. but then again, about that, it turns out that to be smart you don't just study, but you have to also manage your time well. but, how on earth do you manage your time without seeming to much like a robot. i don't want to wake up at the same time every day. i don't want to be forced to do the exact same thing every single day. i mean, isn't that really dull and you have no freedom?

well, it's either that or bego isn't it?
