happy new year

(Super long post up ahead!)






Extremely unexcited for the new year. But before I talk about what I did today, time to recap on events.

Watched Les Miserables on the day after Christmas. Cried three times during the movie -- the first time I've ever cried in a movie theatre.
It was pretty touching, and the singing was incredible. Also the acting -- I have found a new love for Eddie Redmayne.

CHEEKBONES!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO HIS EYES OMQ
plays Marius in Les Mis
His voice&acting is just so --
poignant.
Especially during this scene (I am in love with this song)


Also Samantha  Barks, who is incredibly pretty, has an incredible body, and is an incredible singer (as Eponine).



I loved her rendition of "On My Own" -- she also sang it for the 25th anniversary performance of Les Mis, apparently.


Basically, if you haven't seen it, go see it.
It is a glorious two-and-a-half hour musical with lovely scenery and hot people. What more can you ask for.

December 30th, 2012 marks the first day I have ever been allowed to hold a party haha.
Melee, frendz (minus Mark bc he's in Taiwan and other dumb people who didn't respond), apple cider, white elephant gift exchange, mafia, and lots and lots of melee loooool.
Have some pictures (<-- link to full album). (That I took with the new camera I got for Christmas!)













"normal"
"ABNORMAL"
first attempt at Korean family portrait
second attempt......
"GODDAMMIT, DANIEL" 
PANDA PUFFS
exchanging gender roles
loljk we're actually all flowers
kicked them out bc they wouldn't keep straight faces but they photobombed back in
THE POSE OF SHAME



Everyone kept patting my shoulders gently/staying away from hugging me bc of the spikes. WELL GOOD I DIDN'T NEED YOU ANYWAYS.
So party was fun.

AND THEN: KPOP.
If you don't like K-pop, feel free to skip past the pretty men. Your loss.

SBS GAYO GAEJUN 2012.
EXO. SHINee. BIG BANG. 2NE1.
(lol ok that ends the list of groups that I am interested in enough to watch their performances)
EXO like was high or something haha but the number of SHINeExo interactions were enough to make my fangirl heart throb.
THE MINKAI!!!!!!!!!

and then later, 2minkai LOL
Kai was beautiful, as always.


It was basically Minho + Exo-K members LOL
and a number of other interactions with other singers hehehehehehhehe

SM The Performance (dance unit made up of Yunho, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Minho, Taemin, Kai, and Lay) was beautiful -- performed "Spectrum". Needless to say, I only cared about Minho, Taemin, Kai, and Lay. But everyone performed so well *o*


EXO-M ON JIANGSU TV NEW YEAR'S EVE CONCERT. The Taoris in the Two Moons performance was perf omq


Also -- found out my bias from EXO-M (Lu Han) not only has a perfect fairy face



He also has a sixpack.


SOMEONE PLS TELL ME HOW IT'S POSSIBLE THAT LU HAN NOT ONLY HAS A PRETTY DELICATE PRINCESS FACE, BUT ALSO A MANLIER BODY THAN KRIS (second bias).




But no, it's not six-foot-tall, Angry-Bird-eyebrows rapper Kris who has the six pack.
I just.
K-pop is so full of surprises (especially when there's four Chinese members!)

Okay, so I'm assuming everyone who doesn't like K-pop skipped to here...

New Year antics: went with Trisha, Rachel, Cynthia, and Kerrie to go hike Mission Peak at 5AM. Also saw the boys' xc team haha. It was bitterly cold even with my five layers of knits/thermals + fluffy scarf and hood and I don't think I'm ever doing that again. But the view was nice.
(But I was so cold I couldn't hold the camera steady, so lots of pictures were blurry. Boo.)

view from the way up
view from the top


The guys' xc team was in like a huge "man pile" when we got there but Daniel came over to take a pic (a good one, for once)


note to self: face looks fat(ter) from this angle
"It's like a sunset.... but backwards......" "THAT'S WHAT A SUNRISE IS, DANIEL"
I don't know how Daniel did it, but he took off his jackets and his shirt and took a picture of himself shirtless watching the sun rise.


I just.
What.
I froze at the top and didn't thaw until 3/4 of the way down.

A Cave.
"baby I'm so lonely lonely lonely lonely looooonely" (+343565 cool points if you know what song that's from)



Found this huge tumbleweed in the Ohlone parking lot.


Oh, well. It was an "enlightening experience". (Hah, literally.)
Went to Starbucks to thaw out and drank lots of caramel apple spice (apparently no one else likes it????? how is this possible??????????) and saw some of the xc guys again.
Then went home and ate lots of kimchi.

Okay goodbye I have to do math exercises, study for SAT2Lit, finish doing my Psych outline, and write essays for summer program apps. Fun fun fun.
