remulaHappy Labor Day Weekend! =) It's been so freakin' hot here in SD, it sucks! But yeah, I'm so glad for a break from work! It's been about a month since I last updated, so let's get to it!
K-POP!
All these people I care about are promoting right now and it's both awesome and annoying, LOLOL. Awesome because, hello, people and music I like and a bunch of performances to watch every week! But annoying because a lot of stuff to keep up with!
First there was Seungri! He's currently the only BB member whose solo efforts I actually care about (GD, I'm totally side-eying you right now, please stop with your ridiculousness and put out music I like and stop wearing all those crappy clothes!). He came out with his teaser for his new album a few weeks ago and when I watched it, I almost died, LOL. Seriously, I knew it said explicit, but it definitely didn't register and I was like O_O and then my mom walked by while it was at the part with the guy pulling down the girl's panties and I was like NOOOOO DON'T LOOK AT MEEEEEE and I almost had a heart attack, LOLOLOL. Then his single came out and his album and I've been jamming to it all, obviously! My favorite song on the album is probably Love Box, but yeah, the album is pretty solid.
Comeback on M! Countdown (August 22, 2013):
SO CLASSY WITH HIS SUIT! ♥
I was so DNW at that headbutt part...
Luckily by the time he did Inkigayo (August 25, 2013), he must have figured out there was a problem since it changed to the girl slapping him.
The fanchanting is so loud and clear in this!
Then there was Henry! ♥♥ You all know how much I love Henry, it's seriously a lot! And he's back with my favorite, 1-4-3! When SMTOWN posted the video of Henry singing 1-4-3 acoustic and saying that he'd be coming back with that song, I totally FREAKED OUT!
Seriously, SO GOOD! Also, the fact that there were actually English subtitles for this video was A+.
Then there was the music video!
Totally cute! I hate Henry's blond hair though -- it just washes him out so much, please be getting rid of it soon. =( Amber and Henry's hair match in this video though, LOL. She rocks it slightly better, but yeah. Wish there was more Amber and less random girl because obviously Henry and Amber are the best!

Music Bank (August 23, 2013):
Inkigayo (August 25, 2013) with Donghae and Eunhyuk:
So cute! I kinda laughed a little at Eunhyuk doing that rap part, though, lol.
There was also Henry on 100% Entertainment, which you should definitely watch because it is great!
Seriously, I love Show so much and Butterfly is so cute and Henry is adorable with his fail Chinese and going along with everything. ♥
There was also a comeback from Nu'est, which is totally cute as well. And Exo has a new song, Growl, which is definitely more my tastes than Wolf was. And bonus, a comeback from Sunmi (from Wonder Girls)! I didn't even know she was having a comeback, but this was one of the rare times that I downloaded and watched the whole M! Countdown episode from the 22nd, so I saw her comeback song and it was so awesome. it's definitely been stuck in my head forever!
SO GOOD!
SHOPPING
Today I went to the La Americas outlet mall down by the border withaznearthdragon and the brother. It was the first time we've ever been there and it's huge! Also, it's kinda weird being right next to the border! I mean, I've never been outside of the US and the fence of the border was right there on the other side of the back parking lot! Anyway, we were there for most of the day and went to a bunch of stores, but in the end, we didn't end up getting anything, LOL. Afterwards, we went to Plaza Bonita, where the brother got some jeans, took a break at home to eat, then went to Mission Valley to get another pair of jeans from Macy's (since they didn't have the ones the brother wanted in stock at the one in Plaza Bonita). So basically a day full of shopping, though I didn't get anything myself.
In other news, I bought a couple more tops from Urkye during their sale this month and they are awesome, of course. ♥ I didn't know how much of a difference there would be buying shirts made with room for your boobs, but now that I have some, it's definitely hard to go back to wearing my other shirts. I also just ordered this dress the other day when it was on sale (and the last of my size! But it looks like they've restocked, lol), so I'm hoping to get it soon since it seems like a super easy dress to wear that I can also wear to work (and it's been so hot lately, it would be great!). I need to save up to buy from BiuBiu also! They have cute things, but their shipping is slightly more. =/
NIGHT VALE!
A few weeks ago I started listening to Welcome to Night Vale and it is GREAT! I basically started listening to it at work and then I burned through all the episodes out so far in, like, two days, LOL. It's basically a community radio station for a fictional desert town called Night Vale. I'm so amused by the weirdness that is Night Vale and how totally normal it all is. The whole time I was listening to the show, I wished there was someone else I knew listening to it so I could discuss all the crazy stuff that happens and all the random stuff Cecil (the narrator/radio host) says! I basically gave a running commentary to one of my friends via IM while I was listening to some of the episodes, but it would have been greater if she knew what I was talking about, LOLOLOL. You should definitely listen if you haven't already: iTunes (eww) / Libsyn / Soundcloud.
I had more to say, but I'm getting sleepy, so this will be it for now. Hopefully this heatwave dies down a bit soon 'cause it sucks, especially when you're trying to sleep! =( I know that the heat here is probably nothing compared to the heatwaves other parts of the country are experiencing, but whatever, we San Diegans are weak when it comes to the weather! We have our typical good weather range and anytime it's a couple degrees hotter or cooler than normal, we moan and complain. As a native, I'm perfectly fine admitting it and it doesn't change the fact that I don't like it! XP
