Hello, Darkness, My Old Friend



{Uh-nuh and our KBBQ adventure}
Been a while. I'm out here trying my best to live life and it has been surprisingly been kind in return. Two of the chillest homies and I have been trying out best to meet up for "Weekly Adventures" wherein once a week, we allocate some precious time in our hectic lives dedicated to, well, eating mainly. We'll catch up on the happenings over some good food, good company, and lately some bomb ass adventures around SoCal. And though it may seem like such an easy enough feat to accomplish working around everyone's schedules can be taxing, but I'm proud to say that it we have made it to, yes, SEVEN WEEKS! You honestly don't understand how fulfilling it is to say that with an immense surge of pride. We've lived withing a mile, a mile and a half, of each other for years on one solid street and we've struggled to meet up maybe, once or twice a year. Yeah, that bad. And it's not like we're any less busier; I'm on my last semester of college, homie D-Bomb (lest ya'll forgot, refer to the Harry Potter Birthday post) who is moving up the corporate ladder, and homie Uh-nuh who is out here shaking the political world.

We actually left the confines of our home.
Peek-A-Boo 
Since our relatively large group of friends have dispersed further from our reach, we relish the few moments our lives happen to converge on the same path even for just one night. Just before Christmas we managed to meet up with a whopping eight of them for drinks. It's surreal sometimes just hearing how, I guess grown-up their lives are even though I expected that we've all in varying degrees matured. These are homies who've got love interests in their lives, full time jobs they need a break from, fresh out of college unemployed lots in some cases, convening to have unlimited cider, mead and beer. No longer are they my seatmates who would help me cheat in whatever classes we may have shared. They're future professors and nurses and government officials and soldiers and aspiring book editors. And I'm proud of each and every one of them. Just be extra nice with the nurses and/or doctors you may come across, lest it me one of my homies.

Homies Reunite Convention-2017
Anyway, our weekly adventures has led us to an even bigger one: Canada! Yeah, somehow our proposed Vegas trip was derailed, after a night out on the town, to head up north to, as Uh-nuh refers to it, Trudeauland.  The 6ix for Drake fans out there. Bieber's birthplace, the soil that brought us hockey and Deadpool. Or Blake Lively's husband. We're all excited to just escape for a few days and blow our hard earned money and thrive where the maple leaves grow. Or something along those lines. 2018 is looking good and I'll try to keep up with this more than once a year.

 Oh, yeah! And I'm still into K-Pop. If anything I've fallen deeper into that fuckin' hole and am currently recruiting ARMYs. So with that off my chest, I part with one of the singles from the best album of the year according to Golden Disc Awards, MIC DROP.

 I will undoubtedly do another post just for these boys, but for now just enjoy.

Gokseong-The Wailing

It's a three day weekend and in celebration and lack of funds, I've been binge watching movies on Netflix for the past few hours. I took note of a particular film that came highly recommended by the homies, so in broad daylight and with the TV on for background noise, I decided to take on Na Hongjins' thriller, The Wailing . Standard "Had to do it on 'em" pose I don't do horror films, so to my immediate relief, I found that I could actually sit through this one and was able to turn off the TV and focus. In short, some sort of epidemic causes villagers to just lose their shit and go on a rampage, killing their family while leaving their minds in a state of vegetation or sorts until eventually they just...well, die. I don't really like summaries nor enjoy retelling the story line just because it ends up being lackluster, so just watch it if you have 2.5 hours to kill and nothing else of Netflix screams out to you. I did enjoy the movie, but what I ...

An Itch

Tomorrow is work. Work is tomorrow. But I broke out my dusty ass laptop because I just needed to do something else other than watch another Criminal Minds episode, pay my bills and begin the fret of mentally preparing myself for another day at the office. Seriously, I'm at the point where I've adopted their lingo as well. Ask me why I began labeling anyone remotely annoying "Unsubs". A bitch thinks she's Dr. Reid right now.  I digress. It's more than just the routine I'm stuck in post-secondary higher level education. I want something different. And as we all know, wanting and wishing doesn't necessarily equate to actual results. My reservations about my routine are exactly that: I like routine. I like predictability and safety and comfort. Yet I seek more (don't we all?). In trying to treat that nagging, incessant itch, I have made some out of comfort, yet still safe, decisions. For one, I applied for another job. It's a temporary one that ...

BTS Live

A mere $55 dollars later, plus the $2 batteries, and I was in uniform A bitch is living. I have finally recovered a week later after finally seeing the babies up close (well, as close as I'll ever get to see them really beyond the screen..haha, BTS, beyond the screen) and personal. I was lucky enough to score a ticket through a friend of a friend (you know how that goes) so shout to OG Uh-nuh for the heads up and Anna-cubed for the follow through. But on a typical why-we-pay-outrageous-amounts-to-live-in-California sunny day, I made my way to Pasadena to see them perform at the Rose Bowl. My poor over saturated, high cholesterol-probably heart was fangirling to the max. And I was totally unprepared. I arrived about two hours before the venue doors were even to be opened thinking that that was enough time. And sure, it was for: making your way to general parking, walking from the golf course to the stadium, finding Anna-cubed with my ticket and standing in line for a bathroom. ...
