Korea Town

Mood: Apathetic
Playing: The Ghost of You-My Chemical Romance
Usually, when I put down apathetic for my mood, it's because I don't feel happy nor sad. I'm just somewhere in between, so if there's a word for that, please do let me know. Before I decided to blog today, I spent my time at lacrosse practice, writing an essay, and then I watched a bunch of My Chemical Romance videos. For some reason, I find them very poignant because they always pull out so much emotion from me. It's probably because of Gerard Way's face. He makes these expressions that are just very heart wrenching. "The Ghost of You" and "I Don't Love You" are definitely the most heart wrenching for me. They can probably make me cry, if I just let go...
As you can tell by the title, I visited Korea Town in Los Angeles a week or so before my birthday. I really like driving up to Los Angeles. It's something about being in a city, even if it isn't a skyscraper filled town. I decided that a lot of my readers are into Japanese pop culture, so I figured some of you might enjoy some Korean things as well.
I got Korean style chicken noodle soup, which was very tasty. The egg was cut so thin, it acted as a noodle almost. I ordered way too much food because this was such a huge bowl and then I went and ordered other things as well.
For those of you that enjoy Korean food, you probably already know that your order come with a plethora of side dishes. I didn't really eat any of these other than the spicy pancake because I generally dislike veggies. My parents said the white cabbage dish was delicious...
We ordered these pancakes, which were really quite good. I've always liked Korean pancakes though, especially the ones with seafood in it.
This is an inside joke because my friend, Matthew, carries around a huge dog from Target. The dog is named Popo and has his own Facebook page!
This was on a box of some kind of Korean pomegranate health juice. I love how foreigners mess up English. Lemme translate that for you. "It is the alive taste of the Iranian pomegranate, which has a deep taste and is very nutritious."
Fur is really in this year, right? I ended up buying the blue fur flower pin and I'm currently on a hunt for a cream sweater to pair it with. I really like this Ralph Lauren one, but it's too expensive! I was also trying on chunky knit sweaters, which are also in, but they all made me look chubby. The key chain is actually something I got 2 years ago from a Japanese store. I was originally trying to do a post with this season's trends, but then I got sidetracked and I decided to put it in this post, since the blue flower is from Korea Town. Hope you enjoyed this post!
What do you think of the fur trend?

I agree, I feel the same way about Gerard's expressions too. His voice also makes me feel overwhelmed, like I can't contain myself. D: Mentioning MCR makes me feel nostalgic!

The meal looks so delicious. Making me hungrier then what I already am! xD

Miss Aoki-Haha, I'm getting hungry too! :D

P o o p e r-I'm glad you feel the same way about MCR. It's great to know I'm not just an overly emotional person! XD
