Debut #4: Rocket Punch & Fanatics

안녕하세요 ^^

Rocket Punch - BIM BAM BUM

I accidentally came across this music video and decided to check them out since I read about them. I haven't watched Produce 48 but I liked IZ*ONE's debut song so I've kept an eye on them.
I haven't been really impressed by any recent debuts so I wasn't expecting much. But I was proven wrong. I'm really glad I watched this music video because this song is really good. It's different but in a good way.
So this group has three members that was a part of Produce 48. At first I only heard of Takahashi Juri so I checked out their profile and it turned out they have a total of 3 members that was a part of Produce 48. Juri, Suyun and Sohee, with Suyun being the first one that I noticed in the music video.
But this group is a 6 member group and the other 3 members haven't disappointed me either. Yeonhee, Yunkyoung and Dahyun. While being the maknae Dahyun has gotten me interested, she's really cute and a great singer as well.
I love the choreography and I love the live version as well. If I like a music video I almost always go to watch a live version because I love seeing the dance choreography and see how good the groups perform. Sometimes the live version make me fall more in love than the music video. They really showed me how good they are at performing already through their live performance.
I've come to realize that this group has been really hyped up because of Takahashi Juri and I'm happy that this group haven't started out as a "Juri and the girls" kind of group.
I'm looking forward to what they have to show us next.

Fanatics - Sunday

So this is apparently another Produce group with Chaelin from 101 and Doah from 48. I read an article about them before watching their music video. So one day when I was bored I checked their music video out. And it seemed like a good song, although a little lacklusterless. But Sica and Doah really impressed me.
I liked the choreography as well so I decided to check out the live performance in hopes that it would make me more impressed. But it actually did the opposite. Maybe it's because they just debuted (although some of the members did already debut through a subunit) but their voices was really thin and it fell short for me.
I know they haven't gotten as much hype as Rocket Punch (and it seems a lot of people think it's because they're from a smaller company) but I'm not sure they were quite ready to debut.
Maybe they'll improve over time but I think I'd rather keep an eye on Rocket Punch than Fanatics..

As always this is only my opinion so make your own by watching their music videos.

Top 10 Favourite Songs

Snackfever Pepero Box x3

안녕하세요 ^^

When I was in America I was able to buy Snackfever's Peperobox for Pepero Day and it was filled with amazing different kinds of Pepero.

I got to try the double dip peperos for the first time and I loved the entire box that was filled with love.

So last year when I heard that Snackfever was doing another Pepero box for Pepero Day I was ecstatic because they stated that they had started shipping overseas and that even this box was going to ship overseas. Imagine my disappointment when my order was cancelled because the beauty company that was in charge of the Pepero box (it was a collab between Snackfever and a beauty company which I can't remember the name of anymore) apparently couldn't ship food items outside of the states for some weird reason.
I talked to Snackfever about this and they told me to be paitent and that there would be another Pepero box soon.. Yeah right like that happened!

But this year they did another one and it was actually Snackfever who did this one. And they shipped it overseas! Yay!! I was over the moon for this package until I got it.

You might not be able to see it but it's filled with pretty much only Nude Chocolate Pepero (five) and Almond Pepero (four). It came with one Skinny Cacao Pepero and two Choco Cookie Pepero. And the last one was a big one where the package looks like paper money. That one was the most worth it in this package. Not because it's really good but because it looks really cool. Also I was glad getting the Skinny and Choco Cookie because I've never tasted those. But it was really disappointing getting pretty much only Nude Pepero especially when it's not one of my favourites. And it feels like all I was eating was the Nude Pepero (I still have a box left). Also I felt that the previous one was packed with more love than this one, so really missed that.

Even though the Pepero box was a disappointment it's kind of hard getting it here (Pocky is a lot easier to get a hold of but also doesn't taste as good as Pepero for me). So when I saw Snackfever make another Pepero Box even though it's not Pepero day any more I decided to try my luck with another box.

And luckily I got more lucky this time. I got three of the normal Pepero, Almond Pepero and White Cookie (which is my favourite normal Pepero), two of Nude Chocolate Pepero and one of Choco Cookie Pepero, Skinny Cacao Pepero and Nude Cheese Pepero. I'm scared of trying the last one but still excited for something new. I can't say that this one has more new flavours than the other one (it actually have less) but I'm happy that I can mix it up more than I could before. I still miss the double dip packs because those are my favourite Pepero flavours and the only store here that sells Pepero has a very small selection now.

So yeah my favourite Pepero box is still the first one I got when I was in the States. But this last one that I got right after Christmas is definitely a strong second. I really hope Snackfever up their game again on their Pepero boxes. Because I want to be a returning customer not because they're the only place to get Pepero from but because they're worth it.


새해 복 많이 받으세요!

Comeback rant #47: Dreamcatcher, Cross Gene & Halo

Annyeong ^^
Another comeback post this time containing Dreamcatcher, Cross Gene and newcomer on this blog Halo. Also be prepared, I'm biased x) but you'll be up for a treat if you press on Read More ^^

Help!

Annyeong ^^

I know I haven't really been writing here a lot even though I always say I will be updating more often. But the biggest reason why right now is because I don't really know what to write about.
I haven't had any inspiration to write about whatever I'm watching and it's been a while since I watched a drama (I started Radio Romance today, we'll see if I can finish it, I have a few unfinished because viki is a pain in my ass right now..)

So I'm wondering if any of you have any suggestions about what to write or if there is something you would like to read. If there is anything that I've written before that you really liked reading and want me to continue with. Please let me know either in the comment section or if you want to contact me through the kontactr form or email.

 Right now my life is full of work (I recently got promoted to a full-time position), Korean lessons (I'm on my second term and we have a great teacher!!), working out (a friend got me to start working out) and watching youtube videos.

Also the mail company started to charge tax for all packages coming from outside of Europe so I've had to pay for three packages around the same time now. It's not that bad, as long as that's all the tax I need to pay. Cause the random tax that used to be before could be a lot but currently I've only had to pay a small sum for each package (which adds up to a lot but whatever)

I really want to keep this blog alive so I hope I'm able to do that.
Thank you!

My Top 9 Uni+ Girls

Annyeong
So this was a bit harder than the boys which surprises me because I didn't expect to fall for so many of the girls. But lately I've been collecting more girl groups as well.

Also I found this gem from Janey's past. You decide whether to watch it or not ^^

My Top 9 Uni+ Boys

Annyeong ^^

I've been following The Unit because of Bigstar, Laboum and probably a few more artists. And now I wanted to share my favourites in the show since I can't vote on the show. So far only one of the ones that are my favourites have been eliminated (even though I liked a few of the ones that was eliminated) which was Jude so sadly I will only give him a mention here.

Because this post will be image heavy I'll do the girls in their own post. 

Merry Christmas

Annyeong ^^

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Introducing #29: Dreamcatcher

Annyeong ^^

Another Introducing post and yet another girl group. IF you've been keeping an eye on my header you might notice that there's a lot more girls on there than usual. That's mostly because more girl groups have caught my eye but mainly because certain girl group members have got my attention. So this Introducing will be about Dreamcatcher. A girl group I've been losely following since they debuted because I like their music but really caught my eye this last comeback.

6-Year anniversary

Annyeong ^^

So today is this blog's 6th year anniversary. I'm a little bummed I missed the 5th year but I blame it on not having a computer in USA so I missed it.
But anyways ^^ Happy anniversary blog!!

Sorry for not updating. I've been busy working and last Wednesday I went to my first Korean class. Finally!! Apparently the teacher that was going to have my class quit so I had to take a class a few hours later but I like this teacher so I think it'll be fine ^^
I'm happy to finally start learning Korean for real. I know a lot of words speaking them but I have no clue to use Hangeul.

Also last Monday I got a job offer. I sent in an application for a job at a preschool in a certain area but it didn't state which preschool so the administrator for that area called me and offered me another job at a preschool I actually enjoy working at. I've been substituting at that preschool a lot and really been hoping to get a job there so that's really nice of her since she knows I like it there. She offered me a job earlier this year at another preschool but I couldn't do it, I didn't like it there at all. So on Monday I'll talk to her about it more since I haven't been there for a week to talk to her about it yet. I'm nervous and excited. It'll be my first real job. Like yeah substituting has been a job as well but no monthly job since I don't know if I'll be working the next day or not.

I'll come out with some more blog posts soon I hope.
