160602-03 Paris for Kcon

as usual, this is a personal travel account, not an ordinary whatever that means fanaccount, so if you just wanna read about Kcon, there's gonna be irrelevant stuff.
but pics and cams are at the bottom, so feel free to scroll when you get bored.

when Bangtan was first revealed for Kcon in Paris, I'll be honest, it felt like a bad dream, not a good one.

mainly cos we have not been good at saving for Korea this time. hubs is weak before motorcycles, and I am weak before rare Bangtan merch and new-might-soon-be-oop merch and concert merch and Bighit just have no fucking chill what. so. ever.
so the nice, comfortable, airy travel budget we had hoped for would become a significantly more tight one if we decide to go, and for the longest time I wrestled with whether or not that sacrifice would be worth it. cos as weak as I am before Bangtan, Korea is my main priority.

my kpop collection

note: the albums are best viewed on computer due to Google's layout, and the amount of pictures in each album

some people like to buy clothes or jewelry or go out or live in an expensive home or drive a fancy car or buy shoes.
what I apparently like to spend my money on - besides traveling to Korea - is kpop stuff. literally.  

I live an extremely spartan life (let's not get into how spartan since this is not a personal post per se), and since early 2011, pretty much the only non-essential things I've bought for myself have been kpop related.

so by now, for an international fan, I think I have a fairly big collection.
and since I am a nosy person who always like to see what other people have, I figured, maybe someone would get a kick out of seeing what I have :)

or at least what I have had cos some things I've given away to friends, and some spares/doubles have been put up for sale. 

you can either click on single pictures if you wanna see full size, or just click on the first and view as slideshow from there on out.

if you're viewing full size on a computer, there's a white "i" up in the right hand corner. click it and you can see my comments for the pictures.

feel free to ignore those if you get sick of my gushing and/or squealing, but these weren't originally meant to be public albums, so all comments are made for me to remember my packages by.
on that note, you might find the packaging pics redundant, but I like to remember the boxes, too.

do share if you find any picture good enough for that, but DO NOT crop my watermark where added, DO NOT edit, and credit would be nice.

other than that, please enjoy~ :)

110608 - 110611 In Paris for SMTown

NOTE: Yes, this became a very non-personalized standardized account because so many people have asked and because I don't have time to write this a million times. But, as you will probably recognize, it's plenty personal nonetheless.

Not sorry if you get bored to death. You asked, I answered, and you know I can't do anything "in short".

It's more of a Paris account, so if you only came for the SMTown part you can skip to the line of ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

And hellooo~ to the people who doesn't know me but just happens by this blog :)

Let's start with a BIG FAT DISCLAIMER: 

You should know that this was originally a private email to people who know me well, and I therefor speak without my usual sense of PC language that I normally well, almost apply for public posting, so even though you might feel like judging either me, Mads, Paris, SMTown, Taemin, hip-hoppy looking guys, subways or shoe boxes let me say this: Don't.

This is just my thoughts and feeling at this moment in time. Give it time and it will probably change, and nothing in life is as one-sided as a single blog post - no matter how long. Especially me.

It's probably because this is my first blog post EVER and because I'm not used to publicly baring my soul like this and I feel pretty vulnerable at this moment, that I felt the need to say that. I'll try to be more confident in the future, you know, my tree house and all.
