Deoderant hunt
On the way back from practice, I stopped by a Watson's healthy/pharmacy store. My mission was to jump in, purchase deodorant, then jump out and quickly catch my train back to Anyang. However, I found myself walking around in circles, looking for the deodorant section. There were so many different kinds of facial masks, moisturizers, yet...no deodorant? My friend Kee finally asked the store clerk. So, the guy then walked to the back storage and came out with all these multiple kinds of Nivea deodorant. I was like, "Whaaat? How come you don't stock this up front?!"
Apparently Koreans don't use deodorant. I have to agree, many Chinese don't either. Not saying I have a good reasoning for this, but I think it has something to do with our lack of body hair, as well as the fact that we shower more than most people. But yo! I still think Asians smell. Especially if the people have kimchi seeping out of their pores.
Webcamming at the Studio:
Yesterday, I had intended on practicing. But it turned out to be a 2+ hour webcam session with Loan from the TIP studio. (I brought my laptop to the studio.) I felt bad because we were interrupting Loan during her midterm studies, but...not like she cared. Frog kept stripping in front of the webcam, Lee kept toturing the VIP junior guys with Atomic Fireball candy, and Virus set the worst example of the crew "elder" by acting like a 10 year old kid on camera. haha...it was all in fun.
By the way, did you know, the term "fireball" literally means "big ass testicles" in Korean? Rush from Gamblerz was explaining that to me the other day.
