hey omona! (~˘▾˘)~ i'm visiting seoul for two weeks in the beginning of august and i was wondering if you guys have any tips on events or concerts to go to (idk really where or what to search for either when it comes to events in korea) or just general tips on fun stuff to try out or where to eat~
i'm 22 btw so tips on bars or clubs are also welcome (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ✧ﾟ･: *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)

i visited seoul like 5 years ago but all i remember is banana milk and dragon hill spa lol

ticket.interpark.com/global/ is a pretty easy site to navigate for concerts and musicals going on around Seoul. A lot of tickets go on sale at 8 PM KST. What part of Seoul will you be staying in?

hi omona, I'm on a boat right now

I'm actually super excited bc I received my Japanese visa today and I'm moving there in a few months! anyone else here done similar before? I've been to Japan a couple times now but tips from anyone who's lived there (esp for foreigner employment) are always appreciated!

[broadway-bound3.livejournal.com]

I had to move from Bundang to Mokdong this past weekend. I'm not very happy about it. My coworkers are great and the students are good enough, but the director has a stick up her butt about everything. HQ put me at this campus so I could help increase re-enrollment, but the director doesn't seem to listen to my suggestions. Ugh.

I also have a class of 5 14-15 year-old boys and they have stopped caring about learning English and just make smart-ass comments. I need suggestions for how to whip them into shape.

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

Hmm I only ever train adults, so just guessing here... That sounds like a tough one, depending on their attitude, they might not care about learning English no matter what you do.
Not sure what topics do you cover or what you're allowed to... If you don't have any gaming/VR/AR related things there, just throw some recent LOL championship news in there. Let them sleep sometimes. :D That's just because I ended up liking English classes cause I was allowed to sleep;)
As 14-15 year old kids me and my classmates were totally burned out from studying already (it wasn't only about English, all classes became too much), so we really appreciated the sleep breaks a.k.a. watching movies during English class every two weeks or so.
Some rap songs or whatever they listen to can also help... I didn't care for that, but I had these wannabe rapper guys in my class who got really excited every time we would translate and analyze lyrics.

KCon Paris was an absolute mess. Concert was fine but the convention and general organisation of the day was appalling.

Also what is up with "boy band only" fans? God, it's so embarrassing to have a veteran girl group performing and the crowd is at 20% the level of enthusiasm they have for the younger boy bands.

/rant. Sorry.

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

KCon LA is afaik also an absolute mess.

Boy band only fans make me cringe. I used to know a few of these type of fans online and irl and everything they said made me cringe so hard. I hate to sound like a "kpop elitist", but I expect somebody who calls himself an "kpop fan" to know veteran girl groups, such as SNSD, BEG or WG. It's incredibly rude how they dismiss the existence of girl groups and don't acknowledge that they're more popular than their boy groups. It's quite ironic, when they stan nugu boy groups or problematic boy groups.

For some reason 2NE1 is often the only girl group these boy band only fans like.

I don't like to talk about this things because it makes me feel uncomfortable but I need to get it out of my chest somewhere.
This last weeks I have been feeling really shitty after a time of being well and I'm exhausted. Until my parents and my psychologist mentioned it, I didn't realize how sociable I used to be, and how this last years since I started to feel more depressed I have been losing more contact with people. I feel like how depression has "changed" my personality is one of the things is affecting me more. Being mad at everyone and not being able to smile which I used to do all the time is making me feel so lost, there is moments that it drives me crazy to feel so different from who I used to be. Or the fact that going out to just met someone and talk feels like hard work.
In fact, I started to use more omona the last couple of years because it was one way to not make me think about other shitty things and at the same time I enjoy to talk with some people here ^_^ so thanks for that <3
However today I have been talking with someone who works in the same field that I want to and lived a similar situation and well I think it cheer me up a bit to talk with her, but I'm already thinking of the moment I go down again *sigh*

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

When we're depressed, just getting dressed for the day can be a task, much less actually going out. Depression weighs so heavy. It's no wonder you're exhausted.

Sounds like you really miss who you used to be before depression sneaked in and changed your personality? Granted I don't know you in real life, but you are consistently one of the most thoughtful and reasonable users on here. I hear you on using Omona as a distraction, I've done that too for my anxiety. I find it's sometimes so much easier to interact over the internet because I have time to reflect and compose my thoughts, and I don't have to necessarily engage if I don't want to. Plus of course I can "socialize" on the internet while sitting in my pajamas in my room, and I don't have to exert any physical energy except to type lol.

What do you want to do, bb? What do you think you need to get to where you want to be emotionally?

And I'm glad you got to talk to that person and that it cheered you up some.

Sending you lots of love and support, bb. <3

Happy weekend, Omona!
May was a bit of a mess lol but I'm hoping that June (and the start of summer) will bring some great things my way.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

[marizl.livejournal.com]

I hope everyone has a great weekend! <3
It's been pretty hot here today and I have to go to LA tomorrow. Not looking forward to it bc I really don't like hot weather and I know LA gets disgustingly hot. T_T

[ssantigurrl.livejournal.com]

90+ degrees this weekend in LA!!

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

the sun started to shine right after i got off of work (after a crazy stressful and cloudy week). a sign.
so time to go to the beach tomorrow i guess.

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

so tired. I have been climbing scaffolds today. Stayed outdoors. I'm a typical office worker but am going to work in the field for 2 months. I'm so out of shape. got a slo pitch game tomorrow (for work) - i skipped today's game cuz I didn't think I could make it. Thank goodness. I'm going to sleep ~

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

in my hemisphere (did you know i own an hemisphere?? lol) i'm enjoying the rain, its been raining all day
i have all those songs related to rain





you can see my list is about classic and i'm open to newest groups songs about rainy day :)

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

you asked for newer groups but taeyeon has a song about rain and it's newish

[soyunatetera.livejournal.com]

Hello Omona!
I'm new here
:)

[ty.livejournal.com]

Happy Weekend Omona. I am new here and enjoying, thank you. Tried a post, but need to redo it, thanks for the help mods!

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

Welcome and Happy Weekend!! :D

already going for your first post, that's awesome! Looking forward to it :)

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

Hiiiiiii Omona :)

I just turned 27 last weekend. Dear lord, how is it I'm 27 and I still look 16 lmao. Thinking about cutting my hair to shoulder length, it's currently past my boobs and I've had it at this length for the past three years. Bored of it now. xD

Thinking about pursuing a masters's in sociology??? hmm hmm. but I've heard academia sucks the life outta poor unfortunate souls so who knows if I wanna be part of that world tbh.

Anyone else watching Beautiful Gong Shim??? I am HOOKED omg. I don't always love what DT does (especially side-eyeing some of his actions in the latest ep) but his and GS's interactions are so cute I can't deal. I keep playing Minah's track from the OST bwahahha.

Also......... I resisted as long as I could but I am now into Seventeen?????? I know some of their fans aren't/weren't hugely fond of Pretty U, but that's actually the song that got me into the group. The choreo is so great and I went on a YT binge last night just watching the boys perform Pretty U at different music shows. Just makes me feel so happy seeing how happy they are to perform. Send help pls.

(this has now become like a journal entry???? rip me)

[kar0n.livejournal.com]

I think it's always great to go back to school! I recently got accepted into a master's of social work program and i'm actually very excited to quit my full time job to go be poor for 2 years lol (and to be in debt ~100k for the rest of my life).

What field were you thinking of pursuing in sociology?

[burnbook31.livejournal.com]

omona! have a great weekend! its saturday now but i'm spending my morning at home then i'll be going out with my sister later today! :D i have to buy her shoes for school lol omg now it's different

anyway, i've spent about 2-3 weeks at my new job now and i realized, i spent 3 hours of commute a day (1.5 hr morning/evening) and it's just sooo boring waiting. sometimes i try sleeping but i cant sleep much bc of the motion of the bus/train. i've been thinking about bring some sort of gadgets with me so i can entertain myself. should i get a tablet to watch movies, browse the internet or buy a 3DS for games? both are good but lol i can only choose one! ;__________; its so hard

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

i used to do an hr to school and an hr back each day and music got me through just fine! but i enjoyed the time to chill by myself. msybe use it as a time to listen to new albums? i also love podcasts! especially if you have any issues with motion sickness like i do. or you can read! but otherwise yeah i see ppl doing both the things you mentioned, maybe get a tablet as you might burn through games quickly and have to buy more?

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

Hey Omona!
Oh Hae Young again has dragged me into kdramas again. It's probably the first drama I'll watch in its entirety since Oh My Ghostess. Would highly recommend.
On another note, I'm kind of curious about how mods plan to screen the membership applications. Omona can be a lot sometimes but a decent percentage of the people on kpop twitter and OH are 10x as nasty and annoying. How do you guys plan to control trolly, unnecessarily agressive behavior?

[callherblondie.livejournal.com]

I just got into BTS, like, yesterday and omg I'm obsessed now. Please tell me everything I need to know about V (Kim Taehyung) because he is adorable and everything and I'm already nuts about him lmaohelp.

[kar0n.livejournal.com]

You're gonna have a rough time catching up on everything lol they put out so much material. Here's a good place to start (https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/comments/3q885p/welcome_first_time_with_bts/) :)

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

Thought I was ready to forgive someone and was thinking about contacting them, but the more I thought the more annoyed/mad I got so lol guess I'm not ready. But I guess that's something, right? I mean, self-awareness and all that.

Anywaaaay hope everyone has a nice weekend. I'm working every day of it and I should probably help paint around the house >.> I actually don't mind painting but when it's nice outside I wanna be out not in....

[rawfudge.livejournal.com]

so i've been seeing a lot of stuff on facebook calling kpop shitty, garbage, etc. mainly from a lot of people liking this post from love life of an asian guy: https://www.facebook.com/theLLAG/photos/a.493561587401992.1073741825.100744900016998/1046849155406563/?type=3 he also did a video on his story with falling in and out of kpop that i haven't had time to watch yet.
and like yeah i agree most of kpop is pretty shitty and homophobia, blackface, etc are huge huge HUGE problems in the industry that definitely are a concern and need to be fixed.

anyways i've been thinking a lot about why i'm still into kpop. a lot of it has to do with when i got into it and the life experiences i was going through, and i'd like to say i'm still into it because i like to look at it critically but... i feel a bit unsettled as if these reasons aren't enough to outweigh (so to speak) the terrible sides of it.

what are your reasons for still being in this fandom?

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

i would say i'm still into kpop because since i got into fandoms i always saw idols only as entertainers....
i dont expect nothing else from them, just entertainment and fun music
i dont care what they think about economy, politics, global warming, humans rights or whatever outside pop culture .... sure, i apreciate those who take a stand and actually express their opinions but at the end of the day i would say i feel them so distant from my own reality (like i know they live a really diferent life from the rest of us, i can tell by how they talk about various issues) that whatever they say dont affect any of my own opinions or beliefs

kpop is just like any other hobby , i dont get too analytic or critical when i bake cookies or play with my dog ... i wont over-think kpop either

[weijiji.livejournal.com]

i don't really have anyone to rant to, but i'm actually really close to quitting my job (and retail life in general) because of how creepy some people can be.

i had a customer that would come in often to buy little things and since we're short staffed, i'm usually the one there who rings him up. i'm usually pretty friendly with customers, so he assumed my friendliness (asking how his day was/making jokes) was flirting?? so he came in the other day and asked me out and i kindly rejected him. i guess this guy wasn't used to rejections because he started throwing this fit like i insulted him?? he kept insulting me and saying i should have given him a chance and that i'd regret it because "he's rich and the best a sl*t like me would get" and it's like... bro.. i don't even know you... luckily my manager was there to help me and i even had some really nice customers tell him to leave. i had to go to the back because i was already in tears and when i came out, he was outside of our store just walking around so my manager called the mall security and he was escorted out (while throwing another fit). so now, i'm having one of the mall security (who's a friend of mine) walk me to my car after work just in case the guy turns out to be psycho ):

i really want to quit because not only do i love my job and coworkers, it's literally the only job that caters to my school schedule ):

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

Omg I'm so sorry you have to go through that bb. Fucking male entitlement. Thankfully I never experienced that when I worked in retail

[imahurricane.livejournal.com]

i'm so excited for EXO comeback! last year, i called in sick at work on the day the album was released and i'm thinking of doing the same thing this year lol. the thing is i have so much work to do this week so idt i can take a day off from work :\

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

Today's my last day in Europe after two weeks. I'm not looking forward to the day of flights back tomorrow and then going to work on Tuesday, but I do really miss New York so I'm glad to be going home. Also I realized that the amount of times local people here have been saying "ni hao" or "konnichiwa" or "xie xie" to me has made me super uncomfortable. It makes me no longer want to travel to Europe? Like I now think I might just travel to Asia only at this point. I mean I also realized that I don't care about any of the things put up in museums unless it relates to Asian or indigenous cultures. Like no more portrait galleries or sculptures thx

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I'm european and I'm white and I would not blame you if you don't want to travel around here anymore. I hear people making racist jokes all the time (I guess because they are surrounded by other white people they think no one is going to say anything) and when I called them out for it they usually say it's just a joke and there isn's a reason to get mad about it *sigh* and it happens almost always that people automatically think someone is chinese just because they are asian.
I would never know what you went through but I'm not surprised at all about it.
Hope you find places more interesting and that makes you feel better <3
