[Travel Journal] Panda House, Beijing Zoo

Because Recently i'm in the mood to edit videos, so..

Pandas are so adorable! If only I can hug you~~ I regret that i didnt buy panda plushies there T_T

Thank you Kitamura-San

When we went to Hitachi Seaside Park this summer, suddenly a japanese photographer named Kitamura-san with giant camera asked me to be his model. LOL. I know japanese photographer's works are great, so I let him took some photos of me.

Actually, I did not know what to pose and and its pretty awkward haha. In the end, he took photos of all of us together. He asked me if I had SD Card so he can shoot photos with my memory card, but my camera's card is microSD >_< But then I asked him to send the photos to my email and give him a piece of paper with my email on it.

Two days later, he did sent me the photos and my guess was right, its turned out very nice! Cameras don't lie hahaha.

Check out some of his photos:



This place is Miharashi no Oka's section of the park, between Zinnia's garden and Sunflower garden.
Pretty, isn't it?


Ah, of course we won't forget to take pictures together for memories.


Thank you again, Kitamura-San!

Snacks

Haven't I told you that my pilots loves to give me snacks?

countless of chocolates

i usually loves chocolate; but i'm

getting sick of it lately.

greentea kitkat is one kind of snacks that I often received. I even still have 2 bags of unopened green tea kitkats at home, and they already gave me others.

I do realize that this is an act of gratefulness towards myself from them; so eventhough i dont eat their snacks (because do not if its halal or not) but i'm still thankful because at least they did not forget me afterall.

Happy birthday Dyas!

On today's sahur we celebrate Dyas' 21st birthday.

why in this photo he looked like 70 lmao

typical commemorative photo of a surprise party in my family:

 *censoring myself because i looked terrible* 

wanna know a funny story?

Dyas' birthday cake was actually my big brother's birthday cake 3 months ago; which we never eats because my family doesnt like cake that much-and we always put cakes on freezer and everyone literally forgot about it.

Yesterday Dad wanted to buy cake for Dyas but Mom and I stopped him; we said for economical reason we should just use that cake for the rest of every family member's birthday this year. That also means my Dad & my birthday will use that poor cake too lmao😂😂😂

lets see if thats happen for real😂😂😂

[Seoul Autumn Trip 2015] Everland Theme Park

This post is part of my #SeoulAutumnTrip2015 series. 

Third day in Seoul, our itinerary was Everland Theme Park in Gyeonggi-Do. We went there by shuttle bus from Dongdaemun at 10.15 am, paid 12.000 won for return trip (considered expensive but hassle-free), arrived around 11.30 am. The ticket entrance for adult is 48.000 won, Luckily that day was the last day for korea grand sale discount so we only paid 24.000 won (50% discount for foreigner) :D

Surprisingly...and coincidentally, that day was October 31th which is Halloween day! No wonder sooo many people came  with their halloween costumes on. I assume there were costume contest or halloween festival held today. It was nice view and soo many cute kids wearing cute costumes! 😳☺️

Not far from the entrance we stopped by Kpop hologram concert :D

We got our timings right. The moment we arrived, Bigbang's concert was the next schedule. Its empty so we dont need to queue. Its forbidden to take pictures inside so no preview. But its super cool; the hologram looks real and totally got the concert atmosphere.. Tho i dont really follow bigbang but i know their hit songs so i was able to enjoy the concert ^^

Next stop, we found Line Store so everyone's excited to take pictures with some of the characters figure. Did not buy anything cause its pricey haha

Looking by the map, this park is huge and i believe we wont have time to explore all parts or playing some rides. It was considered crowded that day. So we decide to just walk around and if we found interesting rides we'll Q. Unfortunately, all of the interesting rides (and the extreme one, sigh) was crowded so we skipped a lot. Besides, Dea is not the type who can handle extreme rides well so we better rode an attraction which we can enjoy together.

After we had lunch in KFC, we found this i-forgot-the-name-ride and the Q not too long so we hop in the ride.

From this ride, we were bought down to the different part of the park, and from the trip I can see T-Express ride so well! "Girlssss..anyone wanna ride that with me???" I asked and pointed at the moving train that falls to the ground. All of them looked at me with are-you-crazy face, and shook their head in harmony. WHY T_T One of the reason why I came here was to rode T-Express T_T Ok I guess i'll said 안녕~ to T-Express hiks. Maybe next time.

Arrived at the down part of the park there were many attraction for kids, there was also a small zoo which contains a lot of cute animals! 

There is also a horror club which hosts a lot of underground artist; I assume this is where the costume party held. 

We cant enter because its exclusive for ticket holder. and the party starts in the evening anyway.

After looking here and there we decided to Q at one attraction, this one looks like arung jeram in Dufan.. So we Q and it took us almost 1 hour -_-"

We dont play much rides because the waiting time of all rides took more than 40 minutes; so we spent more of our times enjoying the halloween theme around the park and of course, took photos ^^

One last ride before going back, we took cable car up the hill to the park's exit way.

Because we went here by shuttle bus so we need to go back with the same bus to seoul; and the bus departed on 6.30 pm so we have to hurry or else we have to take subway back to Seoul.

Bye bye~

See you again Everland!

Cheer up kit for my Mom-to-be Bestie ;)

Eversince we heard that good news that My bestfriend, Tiza a.k.a Babeh is pregnant, somehow our sisters gank always try to cheer up her day.

Before I went to seoul, I asked her if she wanted me to brought her something, and it doesnt take a minute for her to answer, "BANANA MILK!!!" lol I knew she always wanted to try it but I failed to brought it home last time, so this time I was determined to bring some for her. I was worried it would spill if I put it on my luggage but Disny succeed to bring it home last time so okay I'll try.

Knowing that I will bought a lot of things from Seoul this time, I used my 28" luggage. Things gone right, I unpacked my luggage at home and all of the milk were safe! Want to know how much I brought? Dont be too shocked okay?

Tadaaa~! A total of 15 bottles of milk!! hahahhahahgahahahhaha plus countless of biscuits and snacks :D

Its a bit too much but yeaah I am this kind of person.

Back to tiza's wish, when I was in Seoul she suddenly messaged me;;

Okay, pregnant women surprisingly had a very imaginative minds and great memory hahaha how come she suddenly remembered the taste of macaroni schootel my dad made more than 10 years ago??? amaziing hahhahaha

Being a supportive bestie I am, Two days after back from Seoul, I went shopping after work and bought all the ingredients to make this memorable macaroni schootel. Just FYI, tiza is anti-MSG person and with pregnancy of course she would avoid MSG-ish foods. So I specially made the macaroni schootel MSG-free which taste less delicious in my opinion (said by a msg-lovers like me).

Done with macaroni, I packed her some banana milk and snack, along with some kim (nori) and here is my cheer up kit for her;;;:;

The kit contains:

 Cheer up message

Banana Milk 바나나 우유

Strawberry Milk 달기 우유

Melon Milk 메론 우유

Choco-banana ball (?)

KIM !!

Market O's brownie 

Sent it on Thursday morning via gojek from Ciputat to Sudirman, arrived safely 40 minutes later. She was super excited and posted it on path afterwards. 

That makes me happy too ^^ Especially when she said she finished all of them, she loved the milks, kims, and all of the snacks was meet to her liking. As a friend I am happy to make my best friend happy, not to mention my pregnant best friend. My mom told me what I did to her was a bit too much, but I couldnt help it;; I know she had some bad days nowadays and I just want to make her and the baby happier.. Besides, someday when I were pregnant wouldnt it nice if someone did this to me? not in the context that I'm expecting the same treatment, but just wondering how nice that would be. :)

Mission: Cheer Up Kit for my Mom-to-be bestie success!! ^-^

Line Friends Store Itaewon

During my recent Spring trip to Seoul, I finally visited Line Friends Store in Itaewon!

Last November I passed by this building a lot of times but they did not opened yet. This branch opened around late November, and known as the biggest Line Flagship Store in Asia.

Meet the giant Brown! Well, this wasnt the biggest Brown they had because Line store in Myeongdong and Garosugil had a waaaay Bigger Brown than this, but this size is enough to snap a pic with. Beside Brown, you can also meet Giant Sally here!

What I love from this store is every space is a photospot! You can even use the dolls and accessories as your photo props, well, as long as you dont broke the sealed one. 

MY SUMMARY: 

The first floor contains general merchandise stuffs, some photospots such as Giant brown and Brown's sporty-ish room.

On the stairs to second floor you will passed by Sally's tiny room and Cony's super pink room, and on second floor there are some photo spots, Giant Sally, some over-pricey clothing, home accessories.

The third floor is Line Cafe; a place where you can chit-chat with friends, enjoying Line-themed desserts and/or coffee, and yes, took a hundreds pics with it.

Because I am on tight budget;; I only buy cammomile tea which costs krw3500. Pricey but I only bought it for the Brown cup loool. Actually there was a misunderstanding here, that Brown cup was supposed to be used for Latte drinks only, but because I did not know that I gave the waiter some "Jebaaal" face and TA-DA~! She gave me one. Yay!

There are many photospots on 3rd floor~ note yourself DON'T COME HERE ALONE because you will have no one to take a photo of you XD

Overall I loooove this Line Store! Eventhough I didnt use Line much nowadays, I love Line characters a lot especially Brown and Cony. Almost all the merchandises here was overpricey (well for me), but buying something to brought back home won't hurt. In the end I Bought Cony's Earphone (krw 23.000) and Cony's Band Aid (krw 5000) hmm just because (its pink, why do you ask?) XD

Anyway,
Here is the direction if anyone wants to visit this store by subway:
On Line 6, Itaewon Station, Exit 3. After you came out from exit 3 walk straight until the first intersection, then walk straight again for 100 m and its right beside you! So easy to find because the building is HUGE :D
