OH HAPPY AND MOST GLORIOUS OF DAYS! VIXX TV is back with a brand new season and well, you know me… I just couldn’t let this most momentous of occasions go by without saying something! Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL! VIXX TV IS BACK!”
SUNSHINE AND RAINBOW PONIES
Today I was nominated by my lovely friend, Sue (aka MamaFangirl) for the Sunshine Award and suddenly my rather blah day was filled with sunshine and rainbow ponies. (Don’t you just love it when your friends turn your rather ordinary days into something special?) For those of you unfamiliar with The Sunshine Award, it’s given to bloggers who are positive, inspiring and spread a little sunshine with their blogs. I’m not really sure I qualify as inspiring but I do enjoy sharing my love of all things Hallyu and I’d like to think that at least with that, I can spread a little sunshine.

RELEASE THE FANGIRL! My Soul Has Been Revived
It’s no secret that I am a devout Starlight. I’ve spazzed enough on this blog to make it perfectly clear that, as much as I love all K-Pop bands (and I really do love them all, to one degree or another), VIXX holds a special place in my heart. They are an infinite source of inspiration and motivation for me, as I drag myself through the mundane of my every day and above all, they are the sunshine that brightens my occasionally dreary world. In short, they make my heart happy but not always… Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL! My Soul Has Been Revived”
K-POP ATE HER BRAIN: Big Byung “Stress Come On!”
I have no idea how many of you have been watching Defconn and Hyungdon’s latest reality show, Hitmaker but even if you haven’t taken the time to watch the show, you should still be able to appreciate the hilarity of their latest creation. Continue reading “K-POP ATE HER BRAIN: Big Byung “Stress Come On!””
RELEASE THE FANGIRL: LYn x LEO “Blossom Tears”
I know that Y.Bird’s LYn x LEO collaboration was released a couple of weeks ago but I didn’t have time to squee over it at the time because I was too 
busy getting ready to leave for L.A. and honestly, I was too full of feels to even begin to talk about this amazing video without melting into a giant puddle of fangirl goo. Even now, weeks later, I’m still not sure I can actually handle this song but I’ve gotta try! The fangirl in me has been dying to squee over Leo in this video for weeks!

FROM B1A4 TO VIXX: KCON 2014 in Pictures, Part 2 – Saturday Night’s Concert
I know I wasn’t the closest you could get but here’s my pictures from Saturday night’s concert, just the same. If nothing else, at least you’ll get a glimpse of what it was like to see so many amazing artists in the same night. It was a fangirl’s dream come true!

FROM B1A4 TO VIXX: KCON 2014 in Pictures, Part 1- VIXX Fan Engagement
Okay, so I have so many pictures that I took during KCON and I hate the idea of them just sitting on my computer when they could be shared with the world, so I’ve decided to upload some of them and let you enjoy them as you will. Now please keep in mind that all of these pics were taken with my phone (because KCON had super strict rules on cameras and there was no way I was going to risk being kicked out over something a small as a camera) and there are some that aren’t nearly as good as others but I did the best I could and I figure that you’ll appreciate my effort, if nothing else. Feel free to help yourself to whatever pics you love, I’m not going to bother watermarking them all as I literally have thousands and that’s just too much work for any one zombie. I figure if you love them, you can have them. It’s my gift to the fangirls the world over who may never get the chance to see their biases in person. (I feel that pain, I really do.) If you feel the need to share them with the world (and I really don’t think they’re all that great but maybe I’m wrong) a little credit would be nice but more than anything, just enjoy them.

FROM CHICAGO TO KCON: ZOMBIE’S ADVENTURES IN L.A. – DAY 4
Saturday. D-Day. KCON Day 1. Whatever you want to call it, I woke up the next morning with a stomach full of butterflies, more nervous than I had ever been before in my entire life. Looking back, I’m not even sure why I was such a nervous wreck but I was. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I had psyched myself out so much over KCON that I was afraid I was going to be disappointed at the end of it all. (Thank goodness I was totally wrong on that score!) Too nervous to eat, drink, or do pretty much anything else, I got up, donned my VIXX G.R.8.U. cosplay costume (with all the checkers) and spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what to do with my hair. (Which ended up being not much because my hands were too shaky to handle anything but the most basic tasks.) At least I wasn’t alone in my suffering, Tanya was every bit as jittery as I was and we were in such an awful state that we rushed out of the hotel without grabbing breakfast or (gasp!) even coffee. (A mistake we would come to regret all. day. long.) Continue reading “FROM CHICAGO TO KCON: ZOMBIE’S ADVENTURES IN L.A. – DAY 4”
FROM CHICAGO TO KCON: ZOMBIE’S ADVENTURES IN L.A. – DAY 3
Being cursed to spend my entire week in L.A. running on Central Time, I woke up at an ungodly hour Friday morning and couldn’t go back to sleep so I did what any zombie in my position would do, I got up, got dressed and headed to the hotel lobby to grab a cup of coffee and call my family. I figured that since I hadn’t talked to them in a couple of days, it would probably be a good idea to at least let them know I hadn’t died. (A fear every single member of my family had while I was away. Crazy people!) With the obligatory phone calls out of the way, it was time to check in with the world and what did I happen to stumble across but pictures of VIXX at the airport in Seoul, posted during my brief hours of sleep. Naturally the fangirl in my couldn’t resist looking up flight arrival times and lo and behold, there were two flights scheduled to arrive at LAX within a half hour of each other and I knew VIXX was on one of them. 
Being the die-hard Starlight that I am, I couldn’t suppress the wails of my inner fangirl as I thought of VIXX arriving in L.A. without me there to greet them. I mean, ‘cmon! It’s not every day you get to be in the same place at the same time as your ultimate bias group and my entire week in L.A. seemed to be embracing the theme of “YOLO” (and I still can’t believe how many times Tanya and I “YOLO”ed ourselves while we were there… It’s almost embarrassing, really) so I did the only thing a self-respecting fangirl in my position would do. I tried to come up with a way to get myself to the airport to welcome VIXX when they arrived. Continue reading “FROM CHICAGO TO KCON: ZOMBIE’S ADVENTURES IN L.A. – DAY 3”
THE ZOMBIE IS INVADING LOS ANGELES!
If you’ve been reading this blog for any amount of time, you know by now that I’m super excited about KCON this year but what you might not know is there’s actually more to my spazzing than just my inner fangirl breaking free. So what is that reason, you ask? Well it’s because this year, I’ve been invited to be a special guest at North America’s largest convention of “All Things Hallyu”, KCON! Can you believe it!?!
