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] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
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 03:43 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.

[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...

[identity profile] efio-47.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope those lines had signs or nice people to tell you what line you were in... Also, is that margarita menu in English?

I think I have skype, but I don't have a microphone. We'll see.

Do you have crazy wavy fancams with lots of screaming in the bg? If so, these need to be shared for the world's entertainment.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
haha actually they had people on megaphones in Chinese - because they were used to a ton of Chinese fans showing up, I guess. It workd out for me! The place we went for margaritas was actually a Mexican restaurant so, yeah, English menu. XD

No fancams from me - cameras were totally banned and they did bag searches and stuff. Other people were sneakier and riskier than I was and got in cameras for fancams - all on Youtube, I'm sure, if you search "Super Show II". I just watched and committed everything to memory. ♥

[identity profile] efio-47.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, now I'm imaging you pulling all those memories into a pensieve or something. I bet you could charge other ppl for that...

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn, now I'm wishing I could do that...

[identity profile] hoyah.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
you are adorbz xD i love fuu's enthusiasm in making my I!

[identity profile] ch-ar-me.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
YOUR NAILS ARE SO PRETTY. AND SO IS YOUR HAIR :D
asjdha i want socks like those. i've always been weak for character socks. D:

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
:D

I TOLD YOU WE'D DO IT. ♥

[identity profile] hoyah.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
xD ♥ i feel special and loved and will post these to my lj when i get home and can save them properly

[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.)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Mission accomplished, then. :3

Now I demand someone, somewhere, spell out my name, lol.

[identity profile] hoyah.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
xD If I could do it with my own body I would!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
hahah I feel like someone would have to be really good at yoga to accomplish that...

omg forget writing porn, I'm going to bed. ;_;

[identity profile] hoyah.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
♥ sleep well

[identity profile] lego1016.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
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] ch-ar-me.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i've always been tempted to get my nails done like that, but they're a bit expensive here. and well, not enough nail salons, period. nowhere near me too. fail.

akjsdha reminds me of when dbsk guested at happy together and yoochun showed off his myungsoo socks and myungsoo was so amused. chun even used them to wipe some water splatters so so amusing. asjdha BRB DYING FROM THE MENTAL. ohgod what i love about those two together is how explosive they could be if put in the same room.

or he could you know, wear pairing socks. mix them up just for the hell of it. (shihan socks lol.)

YOUR HAIR IS SO GORGEOUS KEEP IT LIKE THAT FOREVER

[identity profile] black-goose.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...makes my KyuMin socks make out -- first thing I'd do, trufax.

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

[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] 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 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't think I'd ever do the nails things not in Asia - it's too expensive for me. :(

alksdf so now I have this minific in my head where SJ members prance around having sock wars and pairing wars and alskjf omg, okay, I will write this at some point. XD It will be short and pointless and totally hilarious to me.
