연우

동탄에서 일년 살아왔던것이 제 인생에 좋은 추억을 많이 만들게 해서 그곳을 떠나도 나 아직 그곳을 많이 좋아한다. 거기서 나란 인간에대해 많을것을 배웠고 이쁜 가게를 많이 찾았다. 동탄에 가게되서 너무 고맙게 생각한다고 한걸 하나는 모모의 다락방이란 가게를 다니게된거예요. 거기서 선생님 밑에서 인형을 만드는 방법을 배우고 제 손으로 이쁜것들을 많이 만들게 되서 너무 좋다.

동탄을 떠나 목동으로 와서 그곳을 다니기 못하게되서 너무 아깝지만, 그것도 저 독립하게 만들어서 좋아요. 그맘으로, 지난달에 야구 3주일동안 쉴때 제 능력으로 제가 혼자서 직접 만드는 인형을 만들기 시작 했고 지난주에 완성 시켰다.

시장 가서 원단을 직접 사서 만들고. 옷 위쪽을 만들게 한복집에서 페턴 부탁해 갖고 그 페턴을 바꾸고 옷을 만드는게 시간 되게 많이 걸렸다. 치마만 만드느라 시간 엄청 걸려서 완성 못 시킬 수 있다고 생각도 했지만. 역시 나 고집이 세.

인형 만드는거랑 실제로 입는 한복을 만드는것이 많이 다르다. 핀 막 찌르고 또 찌르고, 모양 바꾸고, 뭐를 직접 만드는것의 행복을 느꼈다.

머리 또한 복잡 하게 만들고 한 6시간이나 걸렸다 ㅋㅋㅋ

꽃신을 어떡해 하면 된지 모르고 대충 하다가 결국은 네일용 얇은 스티커를 쓰고 예쁘게 완성.

완성 시키자마자 떠오르는 이름이 해를 품은 달의 <연우>라서, 연우나는 이름은 치웠다. 방갑다 연우야.

Hongdae Hair SOS - Ootchatsa

 The other week when I went to the exposition of My Love from Another Star, I kept two bitter souvenirs: 

The SBS photograph's exclamation of surprise as he asked. 

- What in hell is this? You got hurt? (looking at the still-healing injury covering my thigh) No worries we'll just photoshop it out. 

It was the first person to ever verbally comment on my injury, and also probably one of the only person I'd actually care if they did: He worked for SBS. I can't really blame him though, I had been sick the previous night and the morning, so my body was still in fighting mode and the result was that my scar was redder than usual.

The second thing he said was: 

- hm.... there's got to be something to do with that hair, as he tried to flatten the frizz all over the place. 

Then:

- Well nothing to do sorry about this...

My hair was in a very very bad state of hey we are splitting up everywhere because it's fun. So it was decided. I'd remedy to at least one of those two, the one that was humanely possible to remove quickly: hair frizz.

Angles. Angles are really important in taking a picture....

My friend in Mokdong had told me of this place where her friend worked where they did the Miracle Treatment, a hair treatment imported from Japan, that greatly improved hair. She was afraid it'd make my hair lack volume, as it usually helped flatten her too voluminous hair-mess, so she suggested I'd do a perm then do the treatment, so the curls would just be a natural looking wave. But I was skeptical about the perm. My hair was way too damaged to stand a perm. I haven't coloured or permed my hair since 2009, but I've been growing it since so I often wouldn't cut it for years at a time and the split end had finally come up til my ear level, making it super frizzy and ugly. 

So I opted to do the treatment and cut out the intensely damaged parts, then, if I want more volume, in 3ish months or so when I'll redo the treatment with the perm before.

 So in the end she curled my hair as I went out so I did not really get to see how volumeless or not my hair would be right away. Anyways. The treatment is amazing. My hair is soft and nice and - indeed - a bit volumess, but if I really bother I can always curl it. The plan is still to keep growing it anyways 

My friend and I met up in Hongdae where the hair salon was and walked around. We had plans for the evening so we just wasted some time walking around, and each got a $8 caricature made. It was really fun.

So the appointment I had with my friend was to go to a TV show called Oottchatsa (people looking for a good laugh), a gag concert. We went with two of her friends, one I had met before, the other I hadn't. Knowing that Korean humor often is racist and childish I didn't expect to like it, but the skits were all really fun and I genuinely enjoyed most of the performances. 

Here are some picture of the show, but they are not really good quality material. Enjoy!
