Ugh Migraines T.T

Migraines are hard to explain to anyone who hasn't had them, which is most people to be honest even if they think they have most of the time it's just a bad headache. I get migraines from certain foods such as deli meat and the weather. When there's rain coming I know and usually I can predict what day it's going to come on better than the weather people, it's happened that I was right and they were off by two days. XD I also get these weird blackouts where I lose vision and get dizzy for a few minutes, those are worse than migraines so luckily they aren't as frequent. You know when you stand up really quickly and you get a headrush??? It's like that only it can happen any time and I get way more dizzy. I don't know what it is about the weather right now but I haven't had a migraine free day in a month or so and my dizzy spells are getting more frequent too, I had three today alone. I hate that this post is just about me feeling crappy but honestly all I did today was sit and try to eat. I didn't go to class because I couldn't walk to the front door so walking to the German building was out of the question. I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow so I don't miss anymore class because German is brutal even without being behind in homework and missing class. I'm going to try to do some homework and study now. Wish me luck ^.^

*I wish the people across the street would turn down their music. Bad music and migraines do not mix -.-'*

Homework T.T

I didn't post yesterday because all I've done since I've gotten home is massive amounts of German homework ... and sleep ... I slept a lot. XD I've also been watching Camelot because I need to either watch TV shows/movies or listen to music or I can't focus on my work. I don't know what it is but way too many shows that I've been watching lately have tons of naked women. I don't need or want to see that thanks very much. My friends think it'a hilarious of course and mock me every time a new show starts to have naked people and I start to get freaked out. So one half of what I watch has way too much nudity but surprising plot lines and genres I like and the other half is Asian so there's no nudity at all and most of it's super predictable. I'm not sure which I prefer to be honest. I watch a ton of Korean and Japanese dramas and I love them and I love their predictability, it makes watching them comfortable. Most of the Western shows I watch are either shows I've been watching for a long time (Criminal Minds, Amazing Race, Grey's Anatomy etc) or they're new and are set in interesting time periods (Game of Thrones and Camelot). The newer ones tend to have more naked people than the older ones but how can I resist a show about Camelot?? I love the legends of Arthur and his knights. Oh well I'll just have to put up with it I guess. At least I have my Korean dramas for the cute, innocent love where hugging is a huge step. <33333

*ugh back to homework T.T*

I Didn't Forget!!! Really I Didn't T.T

I know this is late and will say that I missed a day but honestly I didn't. I'm at a friends place and just didn't go on the internet until now. We've been watching movies like Stardust (she's hooked ㅋㅋㅋ), Tarzan and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I spent most of the last two cutting and editing together my 권 지용 video for my German presentation, it'll be a good distraction for my classmates so I won't be as nervous plus I'll know exactly how much time I need to talk because my video is almost the maximum amount of time I'm allowed. I've never done any video editing or anything to do with creating art on a computer and I was so scared but it actually looks really good and some of my transitions were genius if I do say so myself. *proud* I edited together bits and pieces from all of his MV's from his solo album because he looks the best there, no weird afro or mohawk -.-' and also because they are gorgeous MV's, so artistic and interesting to watch. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be but now that I've done one I really like it. If I can find a music course where I do video or music editing I'll probably take it because it's so precise and amazingly fulfilling. *going to look for a course now >.<*

I Think I'm In Love

As I posted earlier today I went to Imadake and it was amazing. The food was unbelievable and so tasty <3333 My favourites would have to be the Okonomiyaki and the smoked salmon canapes. I could not believe how good they were. Now that I've gone and had the food I do regret not taking pictures so next time no matter how embarrassed I will be I will bring a camera and take pictures. My only issue with it was that we weren't greeted or sent off in Japanese they spoke to us all in English, which I understand because we're white but I speak decent enough Japanese that it would have been nice to use it. A friend and I had some sake as well, not enough to affect either of us at all though just to have it with our food. I've heard a lot of things about another similar restaurant called Kazu but I wanted traditional Japanese street food and Imadake totally delivers. I like that it's loud and dark inside because it really adds to the feel of being in a pub or a street stall late at night. I'd love to go again with a lot of people and try way more items, we only had Okonomiyaki, Karaage, Ebi Tempura, Ramen, Smoked Salmon Canapes and Sake which came out to less than $20 per person and we shared everything. Imadake was amazing and I will definitely be going back >.<

*going to watch SYTYCD now XD*

So You Think You Can Dance XD

I didn't express my love for this show last week because I didn't have a blog yet so I'm going to express my huge love for it today <3 I used to dance, ballet and baroque and a little jazz, and I've always loved watching dancing especially watching as many different kinds of dance as possible, much like how I listen to music. This show was introduced to me by my dancer friends in season 2 so something like 4 or 5 years ago I think and I've loved it and watched it religiously since. I love the new format of having the competitors dance with previous "all-stars" who only dance in their genre because it makes them so much better and nobody can blame it on the partner. I am so excited to see what the choreographers do this year, especially Mia, Wade and Travis because they do the most amazing things. Mia and Travis have had a couple dances where I just sit there and cry watching them. The auditionees this year look really talented too so I'm excited to see how they do throughout the season. I wish they didn't show so many of the disillusioned, crazy people though because even though it's amusing some of them just scare me. I've never really had any respect for people who aren't good at something but they think they are and the people around them tell them they are. I'm a decent dancer but I'm not trying out for things like this I know what I'm good at because of solid evidence not just what people say, though it's always nice to have someone say you're good at something of course. It's why I don't watch American Idol or other singing competitions because the bad singers who think they're amazing just drive me nuts. It's bearable with dance because it's not my medium but with singing which I've worked so hard on for so long it's just frustrating and infuriating. Stopping my rant now and going to watch the amazing that will be tonight's episode of SYTYCD >.<

*I'll do my German homework after I promise xp*

**there's an amazing Broadway dancer who got a ticket to Vegas I really hope he does well because he's so talented and he has an amazing personality, there are so many amazing dancers this season I'm so stoked XD**

Imadake ^.^

I am so ridiculously excited to go to Imadake tomorrow. A friend and I went on the weekend to see their menu and hours but we were two or three hours early and the chefs were doing prep still. It's an open kitchen so I could see them cutting up the samgyupsal etc. The door was unlocked and I didn't realize how early we were and of course my friend made me go in by myself -.-' She said "You're tiny and cute they'll like you better." Thanks a lot hunn -.- So I went in and they were so amazingly nice. When I asked for a menu three guys pointed them out and one came over and showed me the specials and the ramen menu etc. I could not believe how nice they were especially because I was interrupting prep which is such a huge no-no. When we left I said arigatougozaimasu and they all seemed so impressed, though that could have been because it was the only Japanese I said all I could think of was Korean. *fail Hyo massive fail* It's labelled as a Japanese pub but that's more because they specialize in street stall food like Takoyaki, Ramen, Okonomiyaki etc. I'll do a "review" after I go. Hopefully it will just be me saying how amazing all the food was. No pictures though because I can't bring myself to bring a camera and take pictures of food I would be so embarrassed >.<

Going to the library now to do German homework ... and download dramas ... mostly to download dramas ^.^

JYP Audition Prep

I feel like I've been preparing for this audition for forever and yet I still don't feel ready. I probably won't feel ready even on the day of no matter what the people around me say. I have my song memorized, not that I'm sure it's the right song. I have my outfit all ready and I know where I'm going to be staying, thank God for my awesome aunt and amazing friends. I'm still not sure how much makeup I'm going to wear, probably not much because I don't want to cover up my face and also because heavy makeup isn't popular in Asia nor is it appropriate for an audition. I'm hoping my skin and hair decide to cooperate on the day of or all I'm going to be worrying about is how I look -.-'
