Norebang - Korean Karaoke

Hey guys, did you have a nice weekend? ^^ I just went downtown with my boyfriend, had some lunch, did some shopping, had some cake and went to norebang ^^

Norebang is basically a Korean version of Japanese karaoke. 'Nore' means a song in Korean and 'bang' means a room, so it can also be translated as a singing room. It is definitely one of my favorite things to do in Korea :D

Lately, karaoke is also possible in my country in some pubs or bars where you have to sing in front of strangers. Here it is different. When you go to norebang or the singing room, you actually get your own room. You pay per hour and then go in the room with your friends or even by yourself if you want to. And then you can have fun and sing AND you can relax, 'cause there'll be no strangers listening to you. Although, sometimes when your song ends and before you pick a new song you can hear people from other rooms and sometimes they're really good and other times you think "oh man, I hope I don't sound that bad..." it's really fun :D

This is the norebang we went to this weekend.

 There are lots of norebangs pretty much everywhere in Korea. Some are better quality than others: better sound, the right balance between the volume of microphone and music, cordless microphones etc. Some are cleaner than others, in some you can order alcohol in others you can't, in some you have to take your shoes off... and therefore the price can vary a lot. Last time, my boyfriend and I tried this new norebang that just opened and it was 20.000krw (20$) per hour!!! But we usually go downtown where we pay 12.000krw (12$) for 2 hours, so only 6.000krw per hour and that's the weekend price! :)

So this is how it works, you pay for as long as you want to stay, then they tell you what room number to go to. There you have places to sit, a huge screen, a book with songs to choose from and a special type of a remote for choosing songs. Basically, even if you don't speak Korean, you can still go to norebang as you can find all the songs in the book and then you just type in the number of the song you want to sing. But using the remote is way better. 

There are different types of remotes, but they all work in the same way. It is much easier to find songs using the remote. Also you can easily make the song a couple of tones higher or lower if it's too hard to sing. You can change male songs to female versions. You can turn on or off the scoring system, you can even give yourself a real applause, you can jump ahead and skip the instrumental part if it's too long etc.

There are lots of songs to choose from. In pretty much every norebang you have Korean, Japanese, Chinese and American songs and in some norebangs there are also Philippine, Vietnamese and Russian songs available. They add some new songs every month too. 

But you have to be careful, some norebangs are a bit different and offer girls to join and sing with you (and possibly do other stuff too) - obviously meant for guys, so I've never been there. Sometimes there is no special sign outside, so you might enter one of these norebangs by mistake, but even if you do, you'd probably realize pretty soon that it's not a regular norebang.

There are also tiny norebangs available at Korean game arcades. I've tried that once too and it can be just as fun if you really like to sing, but I wouldn't call them singing rooms, since they are really really tiny, I think singing closets would be a better term ;) But, an interesting experience nevertheless. The difference here is, you don't pay per hour but insert coins for each song. I don't remember the price, but it should be around 1000krw (1$) for 3 or 4 songs.

And then there is another type of Coin Norebangs. They are something in between regular norebangs and the 'closet' types. They're not available all over Korea, there are for example none in Jeonju, where I live now :'( There are also not that many in Seoul, but they are really popular in Daegu. Especially around Keimyung University where I used to study. The rooms are not huge, but not that much smaller than in a regular norebang either. Three people can easily sing there without feeling claustrophobic. And it is perfect if you want to sing by yourself or with only one friend, because it is much cheaper than regular norebang. The usual price is 1000krw for 4 songs.

These photos are from last Christmas, taken at my favorite coin norebang in Daegu:

I love norebang and I think everyone should try it if they visit Korea. It is really really fun! And it really doesn't matter whether you can sing well or not, it is just about having fun. I go to norebang about once a week or once every two weeks. Back in Daegu, where I could go to coin norebangs by myself, I went even more often. Of course not all Koreans are this crazy about norebang, especially after the age of 25 and some of them just go to norebang with large groups of friends while they're out drinking and partying. Others really like to sing and therefore go with fewer people. For me, going with just one friend is the best, because I get to sing A LOT. I sing one song, then rest while my friend sings one. And if that friend is a really good friend of mine, then I can also try out some new songs or practice the songs that I'm not good at (which I usually wouldn't do while partying with a large group of people). But it's totally up to you.

I definitely encourage everyone to try it at least once. It might not be your thing, but I'm sure it would be a memorable experience. ^^

I really want to include a video so you could see better how it looks like and hear how it sounds, but... I am not sure if that's such a good idea, since I know how mean people can be on the internet. It doesn't matter how well you can sing, there are always some people who leave the rudest comments ever. Most of the people reading this blog are my friends so I don't worry, but according to the blogger statistics there are some random visitors from different country every now and then... I decided to post it anyway and I really hope I don't regret it.

So this is a video of me singing My Heart Will Go On in my favorite coin norebang in Daegu. I was there by myself and recorded a couple of videos to show my mom. I don't consider myself a really good singer, I just really like to sing. So if you decide to leave a comment on youtube, please keep in mind that I am sharing the video NOT to show off my singing skills but to show how norebang looks like to people who haven't experienced it yet. Anyway, enjoy :P

Feel free to ask any questions about norebang or share your experience or opinion. But you all know that this is a hard song to sing, so if you decide to leave a comment... please don't be rude :P

Namwon and Chunhyang

A trip to Namwon and the story of Chunhyang

This weekend my boyfriend decided to take me on a trip to Namwon. I really didn't know anything about the place, I just knew it was located about an hour south from Jeonju. My boyfriend told me that Namwon is a birthplace of Chunyang and Lee DoRyong, but since I had no idea who they were, so I asked him about them. My boyfriend was like: "well.... hmm... I'll tell you when we get there." And I really wanted to know so I asked him if they were some important people in history or something and he said ya, but he didn't know how to explain and since I kept pushing him to tell me, he then admitted he wasn't even sure, but that there were several movies and dramas about these two people.

Well it turned out later that Chunhyang and Lee DoRyong are not really historical figures, but main characters from one of Korea's most famous and most popular love stories :) There is even a museum about this story with big and beautiful pictures. I asked my boyfriend if he'd never been to that museum before but he said he has, so I wondered why he didn't know the story. He laughed and said he was just looking at pictures lol he can be so cute sometimes ^^

Anyway, if you go to Namwon, you have to visit Gwanhallu gardens. It is basically a place dedicated to this story. And it is really beautiful, there are pavilions, lakes, bamboo trees, it really looks nice. So you can walk around and visit the museum of Chunyang story. AND if you want you can also become the character of this story. For only 9000krw (9$) you can get dressed as Chunhyang and Lee DoRyong and you get a framed photo too. We thought it was interesting and fun and decided to try it. I really wanted to see how my boyfriend would look like in those clothes and wow, I thought he looked awesome :D But anyway, see for yourself.

After Gwanhallu gardens we visited Chunhyang Theme Park. Another place dedicated to this story. You can walk around and see the story through five parts of the park, each dedicated to one part of the story: First Encounter, The Pledge of Love, Love and Separation, Suffering and Imprisonment, and lastly, the Celebration.

So let me tell you really quickly about this story.

THE STORY OF LEE DORYONG AND CHUNHYANG

1. FIRST ENCOUTNER: Lee Doryong is an intelligent young man. One day he visits the Gwanghallu pavilion and sees a girls in a distance playing on a swing. He asks his servant about the girl and finds out her name is Chunhyang and she is the daughter of a kisaeng called Wolame (kisaeng is a female entertainer in old Korea, kind of like a geisha, I guess). He is completely taken by her beauty and falls in love immediately.

 2. MARRIAGE AND PLEDGE OF LOVE: Lee DoRyong visits the house of Wolmae with his servant. He askes Wolame for permission to marry Chunhyang and she accepts. Chunhyang and DoRyong get married and pledge eternal love to each other.

3. THE SAD GOODBYE: Lee DoRyong's father, who is an important government official, has to move to Hanyang (today's Seoul) and Lee DoRyong has to go with him. While he is gone, a new magistrate is appointed in the area, a bad man who neglects his duties and only cares about parties and women.

4. SUFFERING AND IMPRISONMENT: The magistrate sees Chunhyang's beauty and wants to have her, but she refuses because she is married and wants to stay faithful to her husband. The magistrate is upset by the refusal and decides to punish her. He has her beaten and sent to prison.

5. REUNION IN PRISON: After Lee DoRyong wins first place in the state examinations, he becomes the secret royal inspector. He goes back to visit Chunhyang, but soon hears about what happened to her. He disguises himself as a beggar and goes visit Chunhyang in prison.

6. THE CELEBRATION AND HAPPILY EVER AFTER: The magistrate plans to kill Chunhyang on his birthday. But Lee DoRyong breaks into the banquet with a bunch of men and punishes the magistrate. After that Lee DoRyong and Chunhyang are finally together again and live happily ever after :)

Well that is a really short version that I just wrote, but it captures the point. :) Because of this story, Namwon is also know as the city of love. ^^

Namwon is a really nice place to visit, whether you know the story or not. Both Gwanghallu gardens and Chunhyang Theme Park are beautiful. Here are a couple of photos from the two places.

  

If you have a chance to visit Namwon, please do so, I recommend it. Oh but don't forget to have some type of mosquito protection! We always keep our 'off' spray in the car but somehow always forget to use it... so I have six new mosquito bites on my legs :'(

Anyway thank you for reading and please feel free to comment. ^^

Chinese food in Korea

Last night we went to eat in our favorite Chinese restaurant in Jeonju. It is really close by. The name of the restaurant is a bit hard to pronounce so I still haven't memorized it yet, but I took a photo last night. It is: hongrumong. The food tastes good, you usually don't have to wait too long, but the tables... the tables are aweful! Either the chairs are too high or the tables are too low but anyway, there is no space for your legs when you sit so it is a bit uncomfortable.

Anyway, what I wanted to say was... there are Chinese restaurants pretty much anywhere, right? But in my experience Chinese food tastes a bit different in every country. I've had Chinese food in Korea, Japan, Slovenia, Germany and in England. And in each country they offer different types of dishes and even if you eat the same dish it tastes somewhat different. Or is it just me?

So today I'd like to tell you about some of the most popular dishes you can find in Chinese restaurants here in Korea.

First, my personal favorite: Jajangmyeon

I love jajangmyeon. It is a dish made of noodles in a black soybean sauce. It might look scary 'cause of the color, but it tastes awesome! Usually there are also onions and some pieces of pork inside. Sometimes even some seafood, but luckily not often. It is really good. I took my Slovenian friend who lives in Japan and came to visit me this spring to one of the Chinese restaurants in Busan to try it. I wasn't sure if she'd like it or not, but she did :)

There is even a special day in Korea called black day and comes every year on April 14th. After Valentine's day on February 14th and White day on March 14th, which are both couples' holidays, black day is for all the single people that didn't receive any gifts on those two holidays. They meet and complain about their love lives over some jajangmyeon :) It says on wikipedia they wear black, but I don't think so. But a lot of people actually do eat jajangmyeon on that day (including me) not to complain about the problems, but just because it tastes so good :)

There's one thing you have to be careful though when you eat jajangmyeon. No matter how good you are with chopsticks you can easily get some sauce on your clothes... I know I always do and I believe I am quite good at using chopsticks. So take my advice and wear something dark or something that you don't really care about when you go eat jajangmyeon. Here's some jajangmyeon sauce on my skirt last night. Luckily I got this skirt online for only 3000krw (3$) and I have two lol so I wasn't too upset. :)

If you're not a huge fan of noodles or if you're afraid you'll get the sauce all over your clothes, you can get jajangbap instead. Which is pretty much the same dish, only you get rice instead of noodles. But trust me, jajang goes better with noodles.

You can of course get fried rice in Korea also. Here it is called bokkeumbap and though it might be similar to the fried rice you get in my country, you usually get some black soybean sauce on the side. Also omuraisu can sometimes be found in Chinese restaurants, although I believe that is more of a Japanese dish than a Chinese one and it also tastes better in Japan.

Next really popular dish in Korea is Jampong.

Not my favorite because it is very spicy. These are noodles served in a very spicy soup together with seafood. Even if you don't try it you can see it is spicy. There is a special restaurant for Jampong I once went to in Seoul, where you could also get a non-spicy version of jampong in a creamy sauce. Now THAT was good! :)

Another yummy food is Tangsuyuk

It is kind of a Korean version of the sweet and sour pork dish. It tastes really good, a bit sweet maybe. The pork strips are usually a bit crispy. Although from my experience you don't usually just order tangsuyuk for yourself. But when two or more people eat jajangmyeon or jampong they share tangsuyuk together with that. In some Chinese restaurants you even have sets of two jajangmeyons plus a tangsuyuk. It is really good.

There are of course others dishes on the menu, but I would say these are the most typical or the most popular in Korea. You usually get danmuji and some onions as a side dish. Danmuji is a yellow pickled radish which is known as daikon in Japan. Also you can order kkotbbang which is literally translated as flower bread. It might be the same in any other country but I first tried this in Korea and it is so soft and sooo yummy. Not something I would call bread, but it is good! ^^

Did reading this make you hungry? :D Wanna try it? Have you? What is your favorite dish in Chinese restaurants? Feel free to comment ^^

Chuseok and Selka-bong update

So Chuseok is over. It wasn't anything special for me, I was just glad that my boyfriend got a few days off work so we could spend a lot of time together.

In the last post I said that Chuseok isn't the best time to travel around because of the traffic jams. And yes, I was right. We went to DaeJeon to visit the Zoo and Flowerland there. You can usually get there in an hour if you take a freeway from Jeonju, but this time it took twice as long. It was the first time for me to see such a traffic jam on a freeway. We weren't moving at all for some time and then drove with an average speed of 30km/h. But we managed to get there eventually.

The rest areas were really crowded too. Some children were wearing hanboks (traditional Korean clothes) and guess what, I actually saw a small dog wearing a hanbok! :D So cute. These days so many dogs wear cute sweaters or T-shirts, but I didn't know they have a dog version of a hanbok too :D

It looked a bit similar to this, I guess :)

Oh and also, there are several restaurants open on Chuseok - luckily!

On Sunday my boyfriend and I went downtown to see a movie and the city was so empty. I guess 'cause it was really hot outside. It was great, no people, no parking problems... BUT the movie theater was packed!!! I never had to wait in line so long just to get a movie ticket. Luckily, we were in a good mood and just decided to wait. We saw Into the storm and it was quite good. Running time is only 1,5h which is just perfect. After the Transformers we decided NEVER to see another movie at a movie theater that's longer than 2,5 hours. It can be a torture when the air condition is not working properly!

Yesterday we went downtown again to do some Norebang (Karaoke) and have some street food. Korea has really yummy street food and there's so much of it that I'll write a special post just for that. This time, let me just mention the egg-bread being sold on the street for 1000krw a piece (1$). It is really just an egg baked inside the bread (or more like a biscuit) but it tastes really good. My boyfriend and I love them.

AND we saw selka-bongs being sold in one of the shops and guess what, we bought one :D

We'll definitely take it with us next time we go on a trip. We might look stupid waving it around and some people might laugh at us the way we laughed at others last time, but the thing really works :D It is really practical so yes, we'll take ours with us ^^

 

They come in different colors and aren't expensive, only 6000krw each (about 6$). Oh and check the tip written on the box: Make sure the lens is pointing at you and you will be in the picture :D Ahahahaha so funny! Yes, very important, thank you, we'll try to remember this ^^

Happy Chuseok

It's Chuseok, one of the biggest holidays in South Korea. It is usually translated into English as Korean Thanksgiving. I don't want to go into huge details about it, I just want to explain really quickly what it is.

Chuseok comes on a different date every year, because of the lunar calendar. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar and every year people get 3 days off work or school. This year Chuseok comes on September  7th, 8th and 9th.

I would say the most important thing on Chuseok is visiting your family and performing the ancestral memorials, which means you prepare food (lots of it!) and present it to the ancestors. I've seen this once when one of my Korean friends invited me and a bunch of French students to her house for the holiday. There are really tons of food and it all looks so pretty. Also, I've heard there are rules as to where on the table each type of food is supposed to be.

One of the most common types of food on Chuseok is songpyeon, which is a special type of rice cake that comes in several different colors. It tastes awesome (if you like rice cakes) ;)

I also participated in the ritual which consisted of lots of bowing. It didn't last long, only a couple of minutes. And back then my Korean wasn't good enough to understand exactly what they were saying.

Sometimes people wear hanbok (Korean traditional clothes) for this occasion. But not always, since apparently most Koreans don't really own them - they are really expensive. But children usually wear them. Hanbok for kids is of course a lot cheaper and kids look so adorable when they put it on. 

Then they can play some traditional games or something. That's what we did. We played a traditional game called YutNori, which is kind of like a board game, similar to the board games we play in Europe, only you use wooden sticks instead of dice. However, it ended rather badly since one of the French kids somehow managed to throw a stick in my face (lol) and I got kind of upset and then he got kind of depressed lol But more about this game on the Lunar New Year's.

So Chuseok sounds like a lot of fun, unless you're the one who needs to prepare all the food or you really don't get along with your family. And by family I mean all your relatives as well. Or if you're a foreigner studying or working in Korea.

How does a Chuseok look like for a foreigner? Well... it sucks.

Except for that one time that a girl invited me over to her house, Chuseok really didn't exist for me. And not only Chuseok, Lunar New Year's as well. I've always hated those holidays. All the Koreans went home to celebrate, had lots of yummy food etc. And I was stuck in my dormitory room... alone... without any food since the dormitory cafeteria is closed for the whole 3 days and most of the stores and restaurants as well (AND our dormitory had no kitchen either!).

You can't really travel around much either, since ALL the bus and train tickets are sold out. You have to buy a ticket at least a week or more in advance. You can go by car but you'll probably get stuck in traffic.

To make things even worse, I'd usually get sick with fever on these holidays. So ya, no fun at all. The only good thing about it is not having to go to school or work.

However, this year I've moved out of the dormitory and I now live with my Korean boyfriend. He's free now until Wednesday and I'm not sure what we'll do yet. I don't think they're gonna have a huge celebration at his house. This is usually done at the elder son's house, meaning my boyfriend's uncle in Seoul. But we're not going. I still hope his mom brings us some songpyeon at least ^^ We'll see.

Another thing... I've always wondered what happens to the food people offer to their ancestors. This might be a weird or a stupid question, but I've always wondered. I mean, I understand the gesture but the spirits of ancestors aren't really going to EAT it, so... do they just throw it away? 'Cause if they eat it, then that's not really a present for the ancestors... but still better than throwing it away, I guess. Well it might be a weird thing to wonder about, it's just that we don't have this kind of rituals in my country, so... seeing all the food at my friend's house or seeing even more food at the temples offered to Buddha... I just can't help but wonder. 

Well I just asked my boyfriend and he told me they don't throw the food away. He said they eat it. The ancestors are obviously not going to eat it and if you just leave it there it will rot and start to smell. It's better than trowing it away but still a bit strange to me. He found it rather amusing that I was wondering about it ^^

Anyway, Happy Chuseok everyone! ;)

Selka-bong

Selka (short for Self Camera) is what is called 'selfie' in English. I guess nowadays they are popular everywhere, not just Korea. They have been so popular here ever since I got to Korea. You can see people taking selkas everywhere: on the subway, bus, in the bathroom, restaurants... really everywhere. And I wasn't used to taking selkas before, but since when in Rome, you do as the Romans do, I also got addicted to taking selkas. Of course another reason for that might be the fact that I didn't own a smart phone before :)

Here is an example of my selkas:

(in the dormitory bathroom; at home after dying my hair; bored while waiting for the subway)

I know there are a lot of people who hate selkas. I haven't met anyone in Korea yet, but I can see some people complaining about them on Facebook. I don't have a problem with them and I don't see what the big deal is. I don't see anything wrong with people taking their own photos.

I take them a lot. Sometimes 'cause I'm just bored. I take a selka and I send it to my boyfriend. He always likes that. In fact, I think he started this. When he's not busy at work he takes selkas and sends them to me lol It's cute, I think. ^^ Other times I take them 'cause I like the way I did my hair or make-up that day... and why not. People are often too critical about their appearances, feeling self-conscious and insecure... isn't it better to look at the mirror and say "Man, I look good today!"? :)

Yesterday I went to Hanok village - a part of the city that looks like an old Korean town, with traditional Korean houses. It looks really nice.

And there I saw a guy selling this new product that is so popular in Korea these days: selka-bong or a selfie pod.

My boyfriend and I have seen a lot of people using them lately. We would always laugh at how stupid they look waving their phone on that stick. ^^ I remember us having this conversation at Boryeong just last week. I said: "now we're laughing at them, but next vacation we'll probably have our own selka-bong doing exactly the same thing".

So when I saw the guy selling them on the street in the middle of Hanok village, I texted my boyfriend saying: "guess what, they're selling those stupid selka sticks here! Should I buy one? hahaha" And I almost did end up buying one. Unfortunately the girl I was waiting to meet arrived too fast and my boyfriend replied too late so I couldn't buy one lol

 

They do look kind of stupid but when you think about it, they're really practical. I wouldn't use them for just myself (I'd feel a bit embarrassed) but it's great to take photos together with my boyfriend. There's not always a good place for using timer and you can't always bother people to take a photo for you. Not to mention it's not safe. I'd feel way too uncomfortable handing my smart phone to strangers just hoping they wouldn't run away with it or drop it and break it...

So yes, we might be laughing now, but I'm pretty sure we'll soon have our own (probably pink) selka-bong :)

What do you think? Do they sell selka-bongs where you live? Do you have one? :D

100 Days Anniversary

Couples all around the world like to celebrate their anniversaries. Usually, the 1st year anniversary is the most important, I guess. Then you just celebrate 2years, 3years, 4years together etc., right?

In Korea, one of the most important couple celebrations is the 100 days anniversary. After that, some couples also celebrate 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000 days spent together. But the 100th is the most important one and I guess most couples celebrate it.

And since my boyfriend is Korean we also celebrated our 100 days together. That was yesterday, September 2nd. ^^

There are no "rules" on what you're supposed to do on this anniversary, although a lot of couples have a cake and give each other presents. For a lot of them this is also the opportunity to start wearing couple rings, which are very popular in Korea.

Unfortunately yesterday was a Tuesday so my boyfriend had to work. But he did manage to get home a bit earlier than usual, so we had enough time to celebrate.

We went to this place called DanHana Bakery, where you can decorate your own cake. It is awesome and it's a fun thing to do together.

First you choose a cake (size, shape, color, flavor etc.) and then you have tons of decorative items to chose from. You pay at the end because the price depends on how many decorative items you used.

This was our final product ^^ The writing is not that amazing, but it's harder than it looks, believe me :) Anyway, we liked it. Inside it's chocolate and it doesn't taste bad.

After that we went to our favorite cafe called Ann House. It's so comfortable, nicely decorated and the desserts there taste amazing! You get your own little booth, so it's a bit more quiet and private too.

We ordered some yummy fresh juice and had our cake. After that we took some sticker photos. This is not really a Korean thing, I am pretty sure it comes from Japan. In Japan, these sticker photos are called PuriKura which is short for Purinto Kurabu (japanese version of 'Print Club'). The best thing about these photos is that they always make you look pretty and young. Your skin looks perfect, your eyes look bigger etc. And it's really fun decorating them too. Here in Korea they cost around 6000krw for one set of sticker photos (about 6$).

And this is one of our sticker photos from our anniversary. ^^

After that we went home and gave each other presents. Well, first we read the cards and the funny thing was, we pretty much both wrote the same things. ^^ Which is great, 'cause it just means that we're on the same page, feel the same way and want the same things. ^^

I am currently not working, so I didn't have much money to spend. So my boyfriend told me to make something instead. He told me as an example that one of his last girlfriends baked him cookies. And he said that even though they tasted bad (lol) he still liked that present more than when another girlfriend bought him a guitar (a guitar?? seriously?? man...). It's much cheaper but more meaningful.

So I did something like that. I couldn't bake him cookies since we don't have an oven, but I got a much better idea. I bought a small heart-shaped box and I put 100 colorful papers (I just used origami paper) inside. I wrote one thing that I like about my boyfriend on each of these papers. He really loved it!!! 100 things I like about him on our 100th anniversary. ^^

However, the gift that he loved most of all, was the fact that I finally put his photo on my FaceBook lol

He of course also bought me a present. I asked him not to buy me anything expensive. But he's too good... he bought me exactly what I wanted, only a much better version of it.

I wanted to get the new Sims 4 which just came out yesterday and I was thinking about buying it online (which is much much cheaper), but he not only got me a cd game, but Collector's Edition! Omg! I loved it!!! It comes in this cute box, you get a game dvd with all possible digital content and soundtrack, a HardCover GuideBook AND an interactive USB Plumbob

It's awesome! When you have it plugged in your USB it shines green, but while you're playing the game, it changes color depending on your sim's emotions. For example when my sim is feeling flirtatious it turns pink, when my sim is embarrassed it's yellow etc.

Anyway I love it. ^^

My boyfriend and I had a really really nice day and even though the 100 days we spent together are already filled with so many amazing memories, I believe this is only the beginning. There's still so much more ahead of us. ^^
