Everland, the Halloween Theme Park!

Gosh. I already left them in the folder to blog about it, but still.... procrastination 1 : filia 0

It's been a while, but if you remember, around September or so, Korean celebrate their Thanksgiving day or more widely known for Chuseok!
Detailed explanation click here (cr: Allkpop.com)

And fortunately, Western people or more to American are also celebrating Halloween!

Most time in Chuseok, Korean spends time with their family. And foreigner? It's just a golden weekend for us! (Really really tired explaining to Korean why the heck we're not coming home for Chuseok. Because NO, WERE NOT CELEBRATING IT. Believe me, the question comes out so much that you could thought.)

So Everland, a theme park in Seoul have this online foreigner discount ticket! Just because most of people that will hang around to play during Chuseok is, US the foreigner. Which is a total wrong concept. Because in modern day apparently celebrating Chuseok in Everland is becoming one of their tradition! Nayyyyy for long friggin' queue.

Or maybe we just picked the wrong day to go to the Theme Park.

You can check the ticket pricing in their site AND scroll down to print their SPECIAL FOREIGNER DISCOUNT! I believe I pay less than the price stated on the site, because it was their Chuseok / Halloween special I guess.

What you have to do is just click the 'print this page' button on the discount page and bring it to the counter. Notice that the counter for people with this coupon is different, so try and ask the staff if you have difficulties finding it.

As a theme park, of course they have to have a THEME!
That time it was their Halloween theme! We got so excited because in Indonesia, we don't celebrate Halloween, in Korea they also not. So Everland, good job on choosing Halloween over Chuseok, because I rather to see a huge jack-o-lantern everywhere rather than 떡 (ddeok : a rice dumpling?) everywhere.

They also have many Halloween and accessories. Which is nice because you wont see much in Korea during the Halloween season. And the most exciting thing in Everland on Halloween season is...........

Oh yeah, HORROR MAZE promoted by 2PM and Miss A Suzy! For travelers, I must caution you this attraction only open for several weeks, during their Halloween period. So make sure to check their website is the attraction still available on your visit! 

  To enter this attraction, it will cost you KRW 5.000 (not included on the entrance fee). Honestly speaking, I'm too afraid to get in. And to spend KRW 5.000 walking in the dark and be scared and screaming and stuff I don't think it's worthed lol. But really we spend a long long long time to decided whether or not we get in or not According to my friends that have been there, It is scary. Because the ghost would literally scaring you, like surprise attacking in front of yo face!! Dude. Did you ghosts are not afraid to get punch in your face? What if, imagine, a boxer got in an it is his reflect to punch someone in their face if he is surprised? Dude. don't. I also heard that they'll give you a mission choice, you could choose either the long ones or short ones, but I heard there were 5 missions you can choose. But never actually got in there. Can't guarantee it's true. 

Did I said that Everland is also a ZOO??? Oh yeah I did, just now. Everland is also a Zoo. I don't know nothing about that, I almost thing I got into this secret passage to a nearby Zoo :/  Not only real animals, FAKE ANIMALS TOO! 

Sun Go Kong? is that you???? 

Speaking of theme park, Parades is also the one to look forward too!  I don't think Everland have their own, mascots. Or even a theme songs that played trough out the park until you sick of it but once you hear it you'll think of the theme park. You feel me? So the parade is just foreigners dressing up as colorful things I don't really recognize with a huge LED lights all over the vehicle. And seeing the Halloween Parade, it just gets to us that the Halloween stuff is actually for the kids.... so the parade is just meh... kids stuff! 

... a LED Planet with tentacles? ..............

My tips on going to Everland :

• Dress comfortably. Because Everland is HUGEEEE. 
• If you want to check out the parades, they have A LOT of parade. So there's this big board somewhere in the park, where they put every parade schedules and places. Also waiting time for every attractions, so be sure to check on that
• If you're not a first timer, but you still want to go back to Everland, just make sure the second time you're going they have a different theme going on! It's Christmas theme right now!! 
• Loose your pocket!! I mean meals on theme parks are EXPENSIVE. But standing and walking all day could really exhaust you, so rather than faint over heat + tiredness, eat whatever you want there! My recommendation : Churros sticks!! 
• If you are a foreigner, DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THEIR WEBSITE FOR DISCOUNTs

The one that you should take note if you're using public transportation is to check on their schedule and their last schedule!! Because Everland is map-wise already outside Seoul, so taking a taxi could really be a burden. Make sure you check out the bus and train to match your schedule!! 

more pictures ;))

I SAW KIM JAEJOONG. IN PERSON

The title says it all. Nuff said.




So... no blog tells no story.

To make the story short (jk. I won't)
My friend, Icha, whom also a JJ bigger fan and Fio, whom is a bigger bigger fan got the info about Stage Greeting for  'Jackal is Coming', a new movie premiered in November 2012, starred by Song Jihyo and label mate, Kim Jaejoong.

Of course, the moment they knew about the Stage Greeting event in Busan, the ticket was almost sold out. So they went to Naver and search for, you know, 'blackmarket' for the tickets. They got the tickets, just for them at first. But luckily, they found another tickets for 2 and they offered it to ME!! So, KRW 20.000 well spent, Filia, well spent.

Of course (again), the stars are late (duh. When they ever come on time?) and the events are really really really short!! If not because the exit door is right behind us, I wouldn't say my money is well spent.

We were allowed to bring professional camera, so I did and also Stellia. We both brought our Canon DSLR and she took pictures, I record. If you ever know how heavy is DSLR, then you'll get me. My camera betrays me and graviation, you're such a b*tch. My videos are shaky (especially on JJ's part. I hate myself) and full of little shrieks from the fans, and of course, mine.

But who could control self being in the same room, breathing the same air, stepping on the same carpet, as, JAEJOONG??? Now I'm being stalker-ish.

So, I stole some pictures from Stellia. Credit to Stellia @ Facebook. I directly downloaded the pictures do it didn't come in HQ. sorry. I'll ask stellia to email me and keep it to myself though later

Three shots of the character. 2 main characters, and 1 just character that acts really really well. 

I hate spoilers. So I won't tell you anything too deep. I like to keep the thrill.
Basically JJ is a top singer, and he is targeted by a genius killer, named Jackal. And before the Jackal managed to caught JJ, JJ was first caught by Jihyo, also stated herself as an assassin paid by someone else, also to kill JJ.

This is a comedy film, I should say. There's JJ who is a cocky top star. Song Jihyo, a amateur-ahjumma-turns-assassin (she had the ahjumma hair, ok), a bumpkin inspector and his smart-but-non-chalant-pretty-assistant, an angry room service ahjumma, and also the motel-just-turned-into-hotel-few-days-ago's owner. Everyone had a strong characters, it's just very refreshing to see JJ played this character.

And who is the other girl? She is JJ sasaeng fan(in the movie). Enough said.

Overall I'm satisfied! :D

you could see in the poster, the English should be 'Killer Comes' but I personally likes 'Jackal is Coming' better because it more catchy and translation-ly correct.

It's funny because when I look through the pictures, JJ faces are so funny I could attach hilarious caption on them! 

Nah, I'm kidding. You're handsome, I'll die for you. Just kidding. Or I'll sell my soul for you. Just kidding lahhh lol.

Or.... Am I? ;)

FACESHOP!

Omo. Why did I do nothing but procrastinating lately. I wanna cry.

I've keep a LOT and LOTS of stuff packed in my desktop, you know, to blog about!!
In the end I never did that. BUT I WILL FROM NOW ON!! XD

So first thing first. I'm gonna blog about make up stuffs I've purchased throughout the semester, brand-wise! So the first brand to get this honor is The Faceshop!

First one is this Mini-Pet hand creams! I don't know who or what created this trend but almost all Korean Make up brand had their own a mascot hand creams like these. I bought these almost like 2 months before and completely forgot how these guys smell like.

I can't open the plastic because this is actually a present for my aunt :(

This kinda stuffs are good for present if you're going to Korea for your friends and family. They're nowhere practical but it's cute! Why I said it's not practical? I did once own this kinda hand cream, but from Etude House. They smells nice, but they're not really creamy and moisturizing for a long time. So i brought them everywhere right in my bag. After a few jumbling and shaking, because they're in my bag, the time you open it the product would go everywhere. grrrrr. 

And opening the lid when you really need some hand cream is always a big nuisance. Now i prefer a tube one than this. Retails for KRW 4.900 could go down by 20% on sale

The next one is from the 'Oil Cut' line. A compact powder and a pore concealer.

The compact powder is in shade NB23, the concealer is in shade NB21. They each have 2 shades if I'm not mistaken.

Honestly I haven't try the compact because I still have my Maybelline one. But the concealer, i think they're ok! It had two heads, one is a cover stick and one is a liquid concealer. I always dislike a stick concealer, because if traumatized by how hard they're to blend with! But this one, it's easy to blend, but it's not too creamy. perfect!

The compact powder is KRW 13.900 and the concealer is about KRW 10.900. I don't know why they don't put the concealer in their website :/

The upper swatch is from the cover stick, the below one is the liquid. Usually shade something-21 in Korean brands is too light for me, but the cover stick is really matches my skin tone until i got a super hard time taking the picture for it to show. The liquid one have a highlighter quality, nice for under eye circles and higlights! and the cover stick is nice for any blemishes, like acne scars and your side nose area.

and that's it for faceshop! I'll see you in my next blog post. Which i hope it will be SOON!!

Merry Early Christmas!!
