One Zombie, Sharing Her Love of all Things Hallyu With The World

Well my friends, I don’t know how it happened but the time to make my annual cross-country trek to Los Angeles is finally here and I’ve gotta tell you, I’m pretty darn excited! Continue reading “KCON HERE I COME!”
Hey there everyone! I know I don’t have any of my regular Friday posts up this week and for that I’m sorry. I just wanted to let you know that I’m still here, I’m just slightly busy at the moment… Something about BTS being in my city… and a concert… and… Yeah. For those of you who may be headed to TRB tonight in Chicago, I hope you get all the winks and smiles and body rolls and fan-service you could every hope to have. I hope the amazing talent of BTS leaves you in awe and if you happen to shed a few tears of joy, know that you’re not alone. (Yes, sometimes even zombies cry when they’re happy.) If you’re at the concert tonight and you happen to see someone walking around with bright pink hair and glasses, looking so insanely happy she might actually explode, that would probably be me. I’d be more than happy if you stopped me for a second to say hi or squee over a bias or two… or three or four or seven… I’m always a fan of meeting new people and making new friends! Hope to see you there!
As I’m sure many of you know, GOT7 is coming to Chicago this Friday, the second of three stops the boys will make in their first U.S. Fan Meet, presented by Jazzy Group. What you may not know (okay, you probably do know but I’m going to pretend like you don’t) is that I’m going to be there and that means if you’re there, I can finally meet you! Yippee!

Jimin may be accused of having no jams but I’ve got them in spades so I thought it’d be fun to share with you my top jams of 2014 because why not? We’ve all got songs we could listen to on repeat for forever and as sucky as this past year was in a lot of ways, it still brought with it a ton of fabulous tunes. (Which may not make up for the parts of the year that sucked but it certainly made dealing with the sucky a bit easier.) So here are the artists, albums and tunes that brightened my 2014… Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S JAMS OF 2014”
Believe it or not, the time has finally come to announce the winner of my very first “Best of” award. I promised I’d leave the choice solely up to you and you all responded by casting your vote for the K-Pop tune you loved most. Well the results are in and it’s time to announce the winner of THE BEST TUNE OF 2014. Are you ready for this? (Oooh! I’m so excited!) Drum roll please! Continue reading “THE BEST TUNE OF 2014: And The Winner Is…”
With today being the last day of 2014, I find myself looking back over the past year with a mixture of emotions that has me feeling all the feels and you know me, I have a hard time keeping feels to myself when they get this crazy so I’m here to share them all with you. Yippee!
This past year has been such an odd mixture of amazing and awful, not just in the world at large or the world of Hallyu but in my own personal life as well. I won’t bore you with all the details because I know we all have our own stories to tell and mine isn’t any more special or spectacular than any of yours but I will say this… Some of the single most amazing experiences of my life have happened in 2014. I’ve met so many wonderful people and made so many new friends, I’ve had opportunities open to me that have been mind-blowingly awesome and I’ve had a chance to make an unbelievable number of dreams come true. (Boyfriend, B.A.P, KCON, B1A4, 2PM, VIXX… Wow! How did a zombie ever get this lucky? I still have no idea!) In that respect 2014 has been one of the best years of my life but all of this amazing has been coupled with an overwhelming amount of miserable, so much so that I can’t help but cheer as I send this old year off with a flip of the bird and a figurative punch in the face. (If only you could punch a year in the face… That would make me feel so much better!)
At the same time, I welcome this new year with open arms and an unwavering hope that better things are yet to come; because as awful as this past year has been, and as hard as life has tried to steal my hope and rob me of my joy, I can sit here and say, with complete honesty, that life hasn’t quite gotten the better of me yet. Sure there have been days, many, many, many, many days when I’ve felt like giving up and letting the crap of life get the better of me but I didn’t. Miraculously I’ve survived, though not without “a little help from my friends” or more accurately, a whole flipping lot of help from my friends. Seriously, I would have never gotten through this past year without you lovelies and I want you and the whole rest of the world to know how much I love and appreciate you. (You know who you are.) YOU’RE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU MORE THAN A ZOMBIE LOVES BRAINS!

Before I get all sentimental and sappy I should probably wrap this up, I just wanted to take a minute to thank all of you, my lovely readers, for spending this past year with me. You’ve all played a part in making the bright side of 2014 absolutely brilliant and I love you all for that. Seriously. Thank you! A thousand times over THANK YOU! I wish each and every one of you a bright, happy and prosperous new year. May it be a year full of light and laughter, friends and fun, hope, peace and joy. May it be a year better than you could possibly imagine, a year full of dreams come true and may the only drama in your life be the kind you watch and read reviews about online. *wink wink*
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 사랑해요! ♥ ♥ ♥
A couple of weeks ago I asked you all to help me decide which K-Pop song should be given the title, “Best Tune of 2014” and I promised that the choice would be left solely in your hands. As I’m sure you remember, I set up a series of polls which included every “Tune of the Week” featured in 2014, broken down by months, and asked you to vote for your favorites. Well the votes of those polls have been tallied and now it’s time for you to make your final decision. Which tune will win the title of “Best”? That, my friends, is totally up to you!
I can’t believe Christmas is tomorrow but it is and as I sit here munching on cookies, half-buried under the mountain of presents I have yet to wrap, I thought I’d take a moment to wish you all a Happy Christmas.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas full of all the wonder and joy that comes with this time of year. Be it friends or family, K-Pop or ultimate biases, I hope you enjoy a Christmas full all the things that make you most happy and I wish you all the best both now and in the coming year. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! 사랑해요!
With the end of the year fast approaching, I thought it’d be fun to do a “Best of 2014” post but rather than sit here and tell you which tunes and dramas I thought were the best, I decided it’d be way more fun to let you, my lovely readers, tell me instead. Hooray! Continue reading “THE BEST TUNE OF 2014: The Choice is Yours”
