I've been listening to a lot of pissed-off hardcore lately, and BanRan is the most pissed off band in Korea.

Jeff and Trash's band finally released their EP!



Outside club Spot.

MiJin loves Korean style popcorn...we opted for the smaller bag.

..reluctantly...

Trying a couple pic with DSLR, difficult.

Poor MiJin doesn't know that Jeff never has an innocent reason for wanting a picture together.

Number One Korean?

Spring. School. Midterms. Friends. That one lady that spends a lot of time with me.

The cherry trees and seemingly every kind of bush, shrub and twig exploded with blossoms this week as the temp went up over 60 F.

Right after my Korean midterm some friends and I are hopping on a one hour flight to the "Hawaii of Korea"--Jeju Island for three days.

Listening to a lot of shoegaze and ambient screamo lately.....If the guitars aren't buzzing, I don't wanna hear it this weekend....

Went to Coex with MiJin and MiJeong on Saturday. Had a great weekend with MiJin and also with an awsome Friday night with Ewha friends. :D







This kid couldn't handle Coex, and neither can I.



















MiJeong-noona. ^^ :D

Seoul municipal elections are coming up.

This just reminds me of Michelle haha

Studying with MiJin at a coffee shop.

Be what you're about, that's all I've learned.
