[Part 1] 18. Shopping in Centum City & Nampodong

The product of my hard work on Thursday evening- tidying up my shelves and hanging up all my earrings

To remind me of J ♥

Actually, I didn’t want to go out today. I wanted to spend the whole day in my room finishing up my homework and redoing the TOPIK paper that I did during class. But I got quite frustrated after awhile because I didn’t have a grammar book for the advanced level so I couldn’t even understand most of the questions. Secondly, I didn’t manage to buy what I wanted from Daiso and I was itching to leave the room to shop for everything I need.
Thank goodness my roommate wanted to go out too so we took the 5pm shuttle bus out of school and headed to Centum City. I managed to buy the grammar book that I wanted from Kyobo bookstore and also bought some stationery sets to write some love letters :P

Once we were done with shopping in Centum City, we headed to Nampodong where I shopped to my heart’s content in the 3-storey Daiso which has everything I need and want before going to Sapporo Ramen for dinner. I ordered a very fattening butter corn miso ramen for 9,000원 but it was so good. I think it’s ok to pamper myself during the weekend because I don’t really eat nice stuff during the weekdays spent in my dorm.

With my shopping bags beside her haha

On our way back to Sasang, we met the Czech guy in our program in the train and shared a cab with him back to our dorm from the station. Finally, one more person whom we could share a cab with! 

My skin has become much better recently but I can’t pinpoint it to a single factor because it’s probably a combination of many factors: better diet (i.e. less oily food), exercise and my new skincare regime: Fresh Soy Face Cleanser, Caudelie Beauty Mist (toner), SkinFood Facial Ice Skin Tonic (toner for Sundays), Clinique All About Eyes Serum, Origins Spot Remover (totally love this!), Avibon (in the evening), Caudelie Serum S.O.S, Laneige Water Bank Essence, Caudelie Cream Hydrante, Embryolisse Emulsion Hydra-Mat (in the mornings before applying makeup), Chanel sunscreen (in the mornings) and Laneige Sleeping Pack (in the evenings). I’ve been using masks on a regular basis too: Laneige White Plus Renew Purifying Mask, Skinfood Black Sugar Mask and the other sheet masks that I brought along. I’m still waiting for Tae Kyu to send me my Clarisonic Mia2!!!!! Recently, I’ve been using quite a few products from France- Caudelie and Emyrolisse, purchased during my grad trip. Once I’ve used up my current tube of makeup remover, I’ll use the Bioderma. I love shopping in pharmacies in France…most of the skincare products are so cheap, compared to Asia!
