pic-spamming: Korea & hair & stuff

Image-heavy post! Featuring Korea, [livejournal.com profile] hyperballad & [livejournal.com profile] coyotecolored (who are both, by the way, incredibly AWESOME people alksdjf so glad to have met them :D), and my new haircut. No pics from SSII, obviously, because they were hardcore about cameras and I wanted to get in and see the show more than I wanted to risk sneaking my camera in to get y'all pics. Sorry, I'm just selfish like that. :3 ♥


Most of these pics are SJ-related because, well, that's how I roll. The others were mostly of food and landscape anyway.


Thursday night I met up with [livejournal.com profile] hyperballad for deliciously fresh guacamole and margaritas.


Giant margaritas. :9 She had strawberry; I had raspberry.


Our waiter's name was Orwell and was kind of adorable and very sweet. He started off by immediately ignoring Kat and speaking Korean at me, to which I promptly replied, "Sorry, I'm Chinese!" And then he sort of laughed and apologized and was winsomely charming the rest of the night. ♥

Now, this is after HBP Thursday night. We went to [livejournal.com profile] coyotecolored's apartment and spelled out [livejournal.com profile] hoyah's name. MAI, PAY ATTENTION, I TOLD YOU WE WOULD DO IT. :D Lmfao, sorry it's not very good. I was tempted to MS Paint the letters for you.


Kat doing the M. You see it, right?


A combined effort for A.


And Fuu being I.


Alternatively, Fuu being attacked by her cat. Who is gorgeous but apparently evil. Heechul in cat form, Fuu said. Or all the evil tendencies Heechul trained out of Heebum.


Saturday! These were the fans ahead of us in line when we showed up around 7am - only 86 of them! And out of those, only 3 were Korean, haha. Oh Chinese fans and their dedication.


The line snaked its way behind us, making us feel pretty good.


The line for Official Goods later that day. Seriously, ask me what I did in Korea. "Um...stand in lines..."


And also standing in lines in the rain. OTL Well, at least Koreas an assortment of colorful umbrellas.


Fuu and a friend of a friend, Christine! Raincoats and umbrellas couldn't keep us dry in the downpour.


And then Kat bought me SuJu socks as a goodbye present. ;_____; Omfg ilu, Kat. ♥ These are Heechul! I also have Kyuhyun, Sungmin, and Kangin. (...makes my KyuMin socks make out, rofl.)


And my SUPER SHOW II t-shirt. ♥ The shirt also came in sapphire blue but, well. Seriously pissed off they ran out of all the character shirts other than Siwon and Shindong. >:| I wanted Heechul's black cat shirt and Donghae's fishy shirt, rawr.



ANYWAY, NOW FOR HAIR PICS.


Pre-cut hair vs. Post-cut hair


Sunye hair from So Hot-era! \:D/ I love it and also the color~ (Ignore the bags under my eyes askdjflsk I didn't get enough food or sleep in Korea and that has kind of carried over to this week.)



AND TODAY, I went out with my friend and did the most frivolously girly thing we could think of: getting manicures! They're so cheap here...;_;. Anyway, this is what my nails currently look like:


Definitely getting a pedicure before I leave, though possibly just color and not flowers, haha.


And that is the epic picture post, at last!

...did you all go read Fuu's filthy ShiHanChul afterparty porn? HOW CAN SHE WRITE SUCH GOOD PORN IN SO FEW WORDS? While this stupid smutfic of mine is dragging on for-fucking-ever and isn't even that hot? :'( My life, it is full of woe.

Wow, so many lines for ssII. Seems like it was worth it though. Also, so many pale Asians. Makes me feel like hiding under an umbrella. A pretty, frilly, UV-blocking one.
The socks are adorable, as is the hair.

Miss you. Want a random late night/early morning phone call? I don't actually know if you have a cell phone in China, but I assume yes.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, I think you need a special phone card to call me in China. My number's 135 2054 0365 though. ...alternatively, I'm also on Skype! Under "shadesofmei". ♥ I miss you too.

SSII was totally worth it, even if over 50% of my time in Korea was spent in lines, lol.

Brings a new meaning to sock puppets, to be sure ;)

I think your hair makes you look more sophisticated, really defines your face :D and your nails are so pretty!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I am really loving my new hair - the cut before was just too thick and blah. So yay, rocking the short hair! :D I think I'll keep it short for a while. And ty~

Eeee my first manicure/super-girly moment, haha. I keep staring at them in amusement. If only they were this cheap in the US, I'd do it more often...

They were hardcore lines, indeed. There were so many fangirls there and it was kind of "whoa" but also kind of cool to be part of something that huge.

Yay, thank you! :D Going for an older look is always good, lest I always be mistaken for a high schooler, haha.

asjdha i want socks like those. i've always been weak for character socks. D:

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW, IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO PICK OUT A PATTERN I LIKED. I am totally going to get something snazzy for my toes eventually too - before I leave China. :D

Ty about hair. Socks are awesome~ I lol at the idea of wearing Heenim on my feet. (Dude, I bet they totally buy their own character socks and wear them around. And Heechul will wear, idk, Kangin, and run around being smirky about it all day. "I'm stepping on Kangin-ah," he'll sing annoyingly all day until Kangin wants to hit him.)

I love your nails. I am very much looking forward to the day when I am allowed to have pretty nails again. And your socks are super cute.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-25 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I hope one day you get to do your nails all pretty again too. :D They're fun, if not entirely practical, haha.

oh wow I love your hair! It's absolutely gorgeous, argh want. So jealous lolol

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-25 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
On a slightly related note, I've been having bizarre SJ dreams lately. Two have involved Qmi and last night's was KyuMin. Wtf, mind.

/pretends to be in a girl idol group lol

[identity profile] mardigrasmaven.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Your hair looks, pardon the pun, SO HOT!! Seriously, it's a good cut and color for you. And cheap manicures that look that cute? I'm so in.

I feel you on not taking the risks with the cameras. I got kicked out of the 12012 concert 5 minutes in because of mine. For the record, it was my first concert (that wasn't Essence Festival or Jazz Fest) and I did NOT know that you were not allowed to take pics of JRockers and I walked in late so they didn't tell me at the door. Wised up pretty quickly after that fiasco. XD

The socks are adorable! *wishes they would make Henry and Zhou Mi socks*

Holy shit all that rain = NO. Just no.

But yay for you guys being pretty far up in the line and being awesome! *cheers for you all*
Fuu is so tall and pretty!! I love her hair. No wonder they recognized her at SSII!! :D
Kat looks so nice and sweet. Holy shit those margaritas! *wants*

Looks like an all around fun trip!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-25 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Aww thank you so much! I like my new hair a lot. :D

omg, what I would do if there were also Henry and Zhou Mi socks. Now I wish they existed...:( I would show my support for them by wearing them on my feet!

Fuu is tall and blonde - for sure she'll stand out, especially with how close she was to the stage. Sooo awesome. ♥

[identity profile] papered.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
SOCKS. ARE SO CUTE, :'DDD also also, I love your hair (esp the colour :3) and yay for asian nails.

(...makes my KyuMin socks make out, rofl.)
I APPROVE. <3!


!!!s a lot.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-25 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Your comments are about as useful as mine, lmao. ♥

I READ A CUTE KYUMIN YESTERDAY. It now makes me want...Qmi...orz

[identity profile] jaded-skys.livejournal.com 2009-07-25 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
criez. I wish I had been there too... Not just for the SuJu, but to see you guys. OMFG YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY AND YOUR NAAAAAAAAAAAAAILS! I LOVE THEM!! AHHHH!

I need Kangin socks so hard omfg.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-26 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
You should totally get Kangin socks when you're there! :( I won't be able to see you, but at least you'll get to hang out w/ Fuu & Kat!

hahaha ok, now i know who i was staring at most of the time before saturday's show started XD (apparently fuu, because she was also blonde and STOOD RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STAGE.)

ahh i can't look at the olympic park pictures without being all ;~; wibbly~ i was just thinking about all that stuff before falling asleep yesterday and the stands that sold the lightsticks and things and sigh, i could blabber on about this forever.

your hair looks wonderful! shiny and pretty~ i need to get mine cut so bad but i'm scared of doing it in korea D:

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-26 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hahah, right? I was way up on the second floor and could spott Fuu immediately - tall and blonde and right by the stage is hard to miss!

I wish I'd been able to get pics of the boys. :( I guess I'll rely on sneakier fans' fanpics until the DVD gets released...

Ty! I would be scared of getting it cut in Korea too, but that's because I don't know any Korean and would have no idea how to tell them to cut...even for this cut I did in China, I brought in a pic.

Ew the lines! totally experienced lining up in the different weathers all within 3 days in korea! I arrived at 11am on the friday thinking the ticket line was for official goods and almost died. Yet when i got to actually getting official goods heechul's tee was already sold out T_T....and i was like 30th in line....

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-26 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Heechul's shirt was sold out SO fast, I was so >:(! But, well, standing in lines all weekend was worth it in the end. :)

I wonder when the 86 people in front of you came... :o

LOL at making your socks make out.

I like your haircut! Also, your nails look really pretty~ I used to paint my nails a lot when I was younger, and my mom was always :O! because I would color them, like, a dark or v. bright red. (I was also partial to pink. :D)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
A few stayed overnight, but most of them showed up ~530 or 6am.

Thanks! I don't normally do much with my nails except when I'm really inspired and...maybe paint them pink, haha. It's fun being a little frivolous when I can.
