happy new year omona!!!! what's everyone's resolutions (if any)? i haven't made any yet... i thought of "be more social" but... that's too much work.

so glad yunho gif seems here to stay! <3

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

"be more social" is actually kinda sorta my resolution for 2015, not sure how well I'll stick to it though

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

I'm like a heartbeat away from cancelling my skin care product orders and getting my money back since they're taking so damn long to be shipped. The time hasn't passed yet, but it feels like it's taking long for no reason and I'm irritated.

[obviousgirl.livejournal.com]

Where did you order from?

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

Hi Omona! How is everyone tonight/today? I'm currently drinking rum & watching American Horror Story.

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

what a nice combo!!!
I'm wrapped in blankets and eating petit gateu I made in a cup
(takes 2 minutes to bake, it's awesome!)

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone!!!!!
Happy new year, I wish you all nothing but blessings and wonderful things because all of you deserve it! <3 <3 <3

So, how's everyone doing? I got the flu, nothing big, my voice is kinda sexy (not really I sound like an old woman) and I was hit on by a 18 year old with balls bigger than the planet.
So, plans for the weekend???

I got sick on the 24th and I'm still feeling it, but it's the tail end of it. Getting sick when I was young meant taking a break from school and a good thing, now it's just annoying.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

hey omona! the past year went so quickly when i think about the kpop stuff that was being released this time last year. feels like yesterday. i'm not going into the new year with brilliant prospects and it leaves me wondering where on earth i'll be by the end of it but i don't think that's a bad thing. i hope to make things interesting if nothing else. how're you all feeling about the new year?

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

You basically summed up how I feel for the new year. It'll certainly be interesting if nothing else...

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

HEYYYY!!!

Happy New Year

My continuing goals and new resolutions
1) Finish my graduate degree
2) Improve my Korean and take the TOPIK and try for an Intermediate 3 or 4
3) Improve my Mandarin Chinese and take the HSK and try for a level 2 or 3
4) Get back to an 8:30 mile pace
5) Keep supporting Kris (wyfuniverse.livejournal.com) and open the iKON comm (sinosijak.livejournal.com)

Everyone needs to be watching Punch...Kim Rae Won and company are slaying

What did I buy or arrived in the after Christmas sales...







What is next on my list to buy

I loved the first five dresses soooo much. Where did you find them?

To all the canadians, if you haven't heard already, as of yesterday, ISPs will now be sending out warning letters from copyright holders for illegal downloading/torrenting. If the copyright holder decides to sue (unlikely but possible), you can be fined $5k-$20k.

[lostnoodle0317.livejournal.com]

what a great way to start the new year.... /looks for her ice wine to deal/

[post-dada.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of doing a photography project when I go to Korea. So anyone want to share your favorite photography blogs/tumblrs/instagrams?

I'm trying to do more with my photography and be more talkative and friendly in the coming year. I also want to segue into doing more video stuff.

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

yaaaas you should! i've made a zine of some of my favorite pictures i've taken in korea, but i havent gotten it printed yet.

here's my korea photos if you wanna see them ... the first year i used my digital camera, but since then i've switched to exclusively film cameras and i love it soooo much more.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ulanalee/sets/72157627482170374/

My top 100 kpop songs of 2014

[hyunbiased.livejournal.com]

List Here! (http://eunbiased.tumblr.com/post/106946798295/top-100-kpop-songs-of-2014)

Rookie girl groups and nugu boy groups did very well, Secret and associated soloists slayed the list, lots of soloists

Gaping hole of Nine Muses that ranked so highly last year

I know my list up to 200 so if you think a song should be on there you can ask and maybe it just missed the cut (eg, my random bracketing was not kind to Spica or Ailee in any of the 6 rounds I did)


This is my personal opinion only of course^^

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

GUYS I AM OBSESSING OVER KANG HA NEUL AND IT'S NOT HEALTHY

ugh honestly if i liked pinocchio more this would have never happened. :/ i haven't even watched the latest episode yet and i'm not particularly inclined to even though i heard there was another kiss scene. just can't get as invested as i hoped.

[elementree.livejournal.com]

he was like one of 3 things that was good about heirs. and the hana kimi remake.

i THOUGHT about starting pinocchio because i love LJS, but PSH kind of killed that for me. i saw a screencap of the kiss scene and doesn't look like she's got any better xD

I really liked High4 and Lim Kim, 2NE1 Come Back Home, Wa$$up, and both of Girl's Day's songs as well but they missed my top 100 by varying margins^^

[aleash1989.livejournal.com]

Hey guys! What's up? I had a boring New Year's Eve.

Has anyone else heard MercyMe's new album Welcome To The New? I am SO in love with it. It has the singles Greater and Grammy nominated Shake. I even sent a long tweet to Sam about it. lol

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

I spent my new year's sleeping xD

[aleash1989.livejournal.com]

Idk if there will be a prediction post this year, so what do you guys predict for Kpop/Kentertainment 2015?

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

i wouldn't mind a part III of exodus ....... but i dont think any of the ones left will leave tho.

i can see all the big up and coming groups having scandals waiting for them in 2015 now that they're getting more popular. i feel like vixx is due for a big scandal, but their management might keep things too locked down.

i predict that big bang will finally comeback in december 2015.
and another year without a new yg girl group. -.-

I am spending this new year's aftermath recovering from my allergies blowing up while I was at my uncle's (he has two cats). I bought some nice Scottish tourist-y things to send to my friend in Japan so as soon as I'm back home I'll send those, so I have that to look forward to.

[loveshatori.livejournal.com]

Just listened to Make Me Go Crazy - Ladies' Code
its really good and kinda unique

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

just watched "secretly, greatly" (I know that I'm late....) and, god, that ending....
"windstruck" is the next on my list. I was planning to watch it tomorrow, but I might need a romantic comedy right now....

[callmedreamer.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year, Omona!

I'm starting to get into Korean makeup/skincare and I've been reading a lot about 10-step routines but I'm so overwhelmed, lol :( I'm 23, really pale and have an oily T-Zone. Can you recommend anything?

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

Seriously, go to Reddit's Asian Beauty (http://www.reddit.com/r/asianbeauty) board and there are TONS of resources.(Specifically this (http://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/comments/2jcss2/asian_skincare_101_a_beginners_guide_faq/) post. I was overwhelmed as well but purchased samples of the most frequently praised/used items for my skin type and I'm currently somewhere in the middle of the testing phase and my life is changed.

Also see this (http://thewanderlustproject.com/2014/05/create-korean-skin-care-routine/) post, this (http://www.skinandtonics.com/asian-skin-care-guide/) post and this (http://snowwhiteandthepear.blogspot.com/2014/08/skincare-discovery-cleansing-part-ii.html) post.

What I'm using currently is Hanyul's foam cleanser (from a sample kit) but I plan on changing to Hada Labo foam cleanser once I run out. I also adore Banila's Clean it Sherbert stuff. Mizon All in One Snail cream is amazing too.

[girltragedy.livejournal.com]

Favorite title tracks from 2014 that mostly went unnoticed?

Goodbye Rain / Jeon Minju & Kim Yuna
Bing Bing Bing (Oneway) / JJCC
Be a Man / MBLAQ (this probably doesn't belong here, but it was seriously underappreciated)

[adenar.livejournal.com]

There's not been enough JJCC in this comm lately! I might have to add them to my watch list and make an effort to contribute

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

Mix 1table spoon of butter with chocolate (any amount of chocolate you want). put it in the microwave until it melts. mix it.

1egg - mix it until it's blended with the chocolate
1table spoon of sugar
1table spoon of honey
1table spoon of flour
Mix it all.

Microwave it for 40seconds, just a bit more
thank me later

HHEEEEEEEEEYYYY!!!!

[woohyun.livejournal.com]

I wanna go ice skating ;_;

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

Hey OMONA!!!! So excited about the FFA!! I passed my Apple certification exam this week which means I am an "Apple Certified Support Specialist"...basically took the hardest test ever to prove that I know my computer stuff...and now I can display the Apple logo on my resume and business cards. WOOT WOOT!

Also, I have been slowly trying an Asian Beauty skincare routine and my skin is AMAAAAYYYZZZZIIINNNNGGG!! I had no idea that one week my face could be like a lizard and the next it feel like a baby's butt. I feel weird saying that, but it's TRUE. OMG.

How was everyone's week? Do anything special?

[snmj.livejournal.com]

Congratulations^^ x2 ^_^

[lydiasummer.livejournal.com]

Feel better soon!

Tokyo and Seoul recs

[missyxcindy.livejournal.com]

Hi Omona! I haven't been here for ages. I'll be traveling to Tokyo and Seoul in 2 weeks. Anyone have any recommendations of must do/see/eat? I've only done a little bit of research. I know January is the coldest month for Seoul, so I'm worried I won't be able to do as much in the freezing cold and snow. I do want to go to a fish market and try the live octopus if my friends are up for it.

Re: Tokyo and Seoul recs

[hyunbiased.livejournal.com]

If you want to go to a palace in Seoul I recommend Changdeokgung rather than the main one Gyeongbokgung (I went to that one in December and it was cold but it was still lovely) I didn't go to the gardens though but I've heard they are the best in fall, and if you only have a couple hours just the main palace is fun to explore

My favourite neighbourhood is Samcheongdong but there's mostly cafes, restaurants, galleries, and boutiques there so if you're into that I recommend it (it's connected with Bukchon Hanok Village so you can see the traditional houses)

The National Museum is pretty great if you want to escape the cold for a while

For clothes shopping underground at Gangnam subway station is pretty cheap and has a lot of things

Myeongdong for cosmetics and street food

And if you have time to travel outside of Seoul, Gyeongju would probably still be nice (and probably a bit warmer), if you go there definitely go to Anapji Pond but the Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto are out of the way so it eats up a lot of time if you don't have much, you could skip them

Hope you have fun!
