HH & Her Beans

MY BEAN ARMY HAS JUST REACHED 1.5K!! I SERIOUSLY LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!! In just less than half of a year, you guys have been there for my high and low, so today, I have prepared you guys with some fan service. First I would like to give my shout out outs to everyone around the globe who are reading this. Since I don't know any of your names, I would like to give acknowledge to each of the countries currently on my dashboard: U.S., India, Indonesia, Netherlands, Serbia, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Austria, Phillipines (I believe that my biggest fan base is here and I see a lot of KPop news about the Phillipino fans... SOOO HEYYYYY), and Thailand (BAMBAM). Next I think it's time for some fan service... I'm sharing my first 20 YouTube viewing history videos with you guys... I set my playlists all on private, so for me to share this... You might not think it's big... BuT iT Is. YouTube makes up literally about 2 hours of my day everyday, so you guys can say that I'm kind of addicted...

Guess where I'm writing from?? My bed. At 1:22 AM. Ha. Normally I don't have rants on Mondays because I usually don't do much on weekend with social media. BUT OH MY G!!! I NEED TO RANT!!!!! 


Okay so there is this girl (B), who is extreeeemmmeeeeelllyyyy close with someone from KPop group A. I will not name her. This girl goes to the same school as me and she knows someone from A. She graduated the same year as my best besssstttt friend and she has a YouTube channel where she does covers. There is a member from A called C, so C has a little brother called D. B went to the same school as C.


I am so annoyed at her for 2 reasons... JUST 2. 1st: she's been to homecoming/prom/whatever formal dance that I have at my school with both C AND D. The thing that bothers me is that they are siblings and D is not famous, and so why are you going with C and then going with his little brother?? Are you just trying to use his fame for something?? Just imagine this conversation going on without you... D: "Hey, I asked someone to homecoming today." C: "Oh yea who??" D: "The girl you went with last year. Don't worry though, we're just friends." 


Just imagine having that conversation with anyone. I just realized that "D:" looks like my expression while I was thinking this through. 2nd: Why do you use the hashtag "imissyou" when you wished him happy birthday?? In addition to that, what's with the quote on your Tumblr??


The quote was basically something along the lines of "I hear your music on the radio and you sing about how you love a girl. Although you've never told me, I know that you love me." Bro. The fact that C's fans know that you know him means that we are going to interpret it as you thinking that he "loves" you. I'm sorry for being so bitter but it's just the truth. Fans are going to be like "are you dating him????" and then you are going to be like "oh nah we are just friends" so why are you doing this in the first place?? Why are you using these quotes??? Like couldn't you picked something more educational and inspiring like a quote by Albert Einstein. #muchwow 


Do you see all of the annoyed GIFs
that I used?? Yea... I'm this
annoyed. 

The hashtag... I get it, you guys are close and you really do miss him but just putting it out there, he's in Korea and you are here, he doesn't visit you anymore. You want to get his attention or get more followers, you might have to do that on your own, through your YouTube channel, stop trying to use him and his family as a source of popularity for you to gain followers because you are friends with him. You guys have no idea how annoyed I was yesterday about this situation. UGH. With all negativity aside, she's actually really pretty and she went to a good college so much goals. I hope that one comment made me a better person. Probably not... But if you guys wanted positivity and perfection, you wouldn't be here... You would be on YouTube!!! Until next time, stay cool ma beans!!

OLO ma beans!! As I've promised, here is the post on back to school stuff. This literally covers everything that I want to talk about, makeovers included. Because every year, I want to change my vibe and I wanted to share with you guys on what I do. Again, I saw all of the DIY stuff that the YouTube people did, and honestly who has time for that in real life?? Like these YouTubers are mostly already out of high school... so they probably already forgot about the stress that we experience. Because we aren't famous or already has the rest of our life secured online... Here is an ACTUAL back to school for cheap post.

Q: I always see these cute things online, and then when I click open the item it's like $5 for a pencil. I'm broke, but I don't like the stuff that they sell at Office Depot and those places. Where do you buy your supplies?

These are the stuff that they sell at Daiso.

A: Honestly if I knew who you were, I would give you some of my pencil bags. LOL because I collect them for a living. Anyways, this is the classic Asian problem. We would see super cute stuff online but we don't have the money, so where do I go?? Welllllll, in LA, or at least I think this store is only limited to here, is this beautiful place called Daiso. It recently got popular and there are 3 stores near me. Everything that they sell is $1.50 so that is literally the cheapest price you can get for cute stuff. It's like a Japanese 99 cent store. They have literally every cute thing you can imagine, from notebooks, to pencil pouches, to binders, they have it all. If you don't have that store near you, my go to place would be on Amazon. I actually just went on Amazon and ordered 4 pencil pouches for $3 + free shipping. I also saw like 10 gel pens for $5 and it's the same pens from Daiso.

A: I SERIOUSLY GOT YOU ON THIS LOL. A lot of people are very reluctant to shop in department stores because they think that the clothes are low quality, but if you look hard enough, you will always find something that is the same brand as they sell in the mall and it's a WHOLE LOT CHEAPER!! I know that Hershel backpacks are really in right now, but honestly I'm too poor to spend my money on that and why spend $50 when I can buy a unique Jansport backpack at Ross for $19?? Yea that's right, Ross has UNIQUE Jansports and I am not joking. I buy all of my Jansport backpacks from there because they are so cheap. I actually only used China backpacks until 9th grade, and the first Jansport backpack that I bought was $35, it was the purple one from the Roadtrip Essentials post, and the second backpack was a purple floral backpack which costs around $40, and while I was shopping for my backpack for this year which is this cute thang here: 

Which costs around $50, I got for only $18.99 + tax. I seriously think that it is totally worth it. And yes, I do switch my backpack every year.

#notime

Q: Do you really follow the YouTube videos to DIY your notebooks and pencil pouches and all that? 

A: Honestly I don't, I just like to watch these videos so I can leech off some positivity since all of my stuff are more one colored and less neon and floral than what they have. I don't ever use #2 pencils unless it's for a official test, so I've tried out the pencils thing, and I got wrinkles everywhere on the pencil so it looked gross. Plus who brings sharpeners anymore to class?? Normally for pencils I use stuff that I get from my friends because I feel bad if I don't use them. Currently I'm using an orange ox-gel. As for notebooks, I like small things, so I usually use something small and portable if the teacher is not collecting notes, the small notebooks are usually for like English and Science. For math, I just use a normal 70 page notebook, and it lasts me for the whole year. If you want, you can try cutting out pictures and then positioning them on the notebooks then taking clear packaging tape and then taping the pictures on because that looks waaayyyy cuter than sticking scrapbooking paper on there.

Q: My school stopped passing out agendas, do you use one? Where can I go buy one for less than $5?

A: My school's agenda was super bad this year also since they started printing their own, so I bought my own from Big Lots for this year. I definitely find the agenda super useful because it helps me remember things that I cannot remember (it's like my child, in the beginning of the year, I thought that I lost it and I had a mental breakdown... so yea I do use it). The one that I bought is super thin, and it has a map of Paris as the cover, and the inside is basically an agenda. I got mine for $3 and it's super thin, so it's awesome to take around in your backpack. Plus this one came with a plastic protective film, so that's a plus!!

Q: There is this girl in my school who matches her outfit everyday with her pencils and stuff. I think that it looks super cute but I can't find groups of cute things that match well. Any suggestions?

A: I don't usually match my OUTFITS with my PENCILS because NO BODY GOT TIME FOR DAT. I applaud your classmate for having the time to do that. I usually try to get a feel of the vibe that I'm going for for that year. For example, last summer I thought that I had to work hard for that year, so everything that I bought was had a school vibe, like I didn't really care if the stuff were cute or not, as long as I had something to use. BUT this year, I am changing everything to the more classy side, my pencil pouch is solid colored leather (blue & yellow), my binder is from Daiso and it's black and white, you already saw my backpack, so that's that. My pencils are going to be skinnier and less chunky. Try to find what vibe are you trying to accomplish, then go from there. 

That's it for the back to school for cheap post. If you guys want, I could do another post with the additional stuff that I bought?? We'll see it's only half way through the summer. Thanks for sending in questions!! I'd love to hear from you!! Until next time, stay cool ma beans!! 

I actually looked for a YouTube video online and none of them AGAIN are even helpful. Most of the videos that I saw didn't really help me on what I should bring that would be a neat little trick, so here are some of my road trip essentials...
Q: I'm going on a road trip with my family this weekend and I have no idea what I should do on the car. I get car sick if I watch things... Help!!
A: This is usually a problem for me also because I also get car sick when I'm reading stuff... not watching stuff, so no way is it possible for me to do any kind of homework. Usually 2 or 3 days before I leave I would download some movies or dramas for me to watch while I'm on the way. I guess that doesn't help you... BUT JUST PUTTIN IT OUT DERE... I usually use YouKu which is this free Chinese app.

A: That's really broad... So here are the HAVE to items: Retainers, toner, BB cream, powder, mascara, clothes that I'm going to wear, NECK PILLOW, pillow pet, tooth brush, hair brush (notice how it's not a comb), a comb LOOOOL, tooth paste, shoes, and a backpack.

This is currently my "traveling" backpack... My normal backpack for school during freshman year.

I always bring a neck pillow because you can wear it as a hat, as a very cute neck thing that you see Jackson from GOT7 wear, and it's super comfortable when you wear it while you nap. Pillow pet is used to keep me warm.

Ew there is writing on the picture but this is the neck pillow I'm currently using...

I hate sleeping in hotel beds because they are too springy, so the pillow pet just makes me feel more warm and comfy. I brought my make up stuff because my face is really gross and tired when I'm traveling, so it doesn't hurt to look nice. I bring a brush because I have too much hair to be combed out by a comb and the comb is used to part my harrrrrrr. 

I am seriously grateful that this interviewee has agreed to do this interview because seriously she is super busy with school and YouTube, so it's awesome that I will be featuring her on this week's post. Without any more blabbing, here is the interview: 

OH MY FLUFFAY CHICKENS!!! Have you guys seen the drama going through the drama world?? I think you have, so today I am here to discuss some of these topics with you.

1. DaHyun VS. Sehun: Dahyun is not the same Dahyun from SIXTEEN, this Dahyun is a lot less pretty than the other Dahyun and she apparently stalks the maknae of EXO, Sehun. Many EXO-Ls are calling her a "saesang". EXO-Ls are known for their overly protective nature and their power over social media. What happened was that Dahyun is a current trainee under a some small agency and she is debuting in a group called Pink Lace some time in the future. Then on a Korean site called Pann, she started sending messages to Sehun saying how she wish that he would listen to her album when it came out and how she wanted to meet him, then on Instagram she started tagging him in her selfies. Her Instagram is currently public and her username is: dahyunhand so go and check her out. In addition, she got blocked my Sehun, so WHOOAAAAA even more reasons to target her.... Seriously not really. Anyways, so EXO-Ls are talking about how she should stop hitting on Sehun and throwing shade her way. As you guys all know, I am a huge EXO fan but I don't consider myself a EXO-L because I like other bands, and I don't dedicate my life to them, so yea... I think that EXO-Ls are just overreacting because I've seen many instances where different KPop artists fan-girl over each other, and since Dahyun didn't even debut yet, she is still just a typical girl who likes EXO like the rest of us, the only difference is that Dahyun has a higher chance of meeting them than us or she has even less chance because EXO is so busy. You see EXO-Ls you don't need to target her, she has no chance!! 
2. Mnet Quality: This is another big deal with EXO in it, so here is what happened, after EXO performed their song on MNet and Mnet uploaded on to YouTube and when EXO-L took the time to get the views up so EXO can win MCountdown, however, when they got the views to 700,000 views, Mnet took the video down enraging the whole EXO army. I just checked the views right now and it is currently at 195, 329 views. I know it's must be so hard to listen to a song over and over again to get the views up because you think it's your job to support EXO and I know that EXO wouldn't be where they are without you guys, but seriously I think that they already feel appreciative for what EXO-L do for them. Plus each of them joined the KPop world because they love what they are doing, they don't really care about awards then. Why do you have to target Mnet?? They only deleted the video so the new video can be a higher quality, not because they don't want EXO to win. I bet you this week, EXO is going to win. So calm down people.
3. Threatening VIPs: The last story is of course about the threats that VIPs are facing. Recently, Big Bang's comeback took over the charts, they have been winning for the past month actually. Although I only like Loser from their new album, they were the reason why I got into KPop in the first place. Being the sunbaes of EXO, I don't understand why EXO-Ls are threatening to bring bombs to their concerts and saying how VIPs should die in the Korea ferry boat accident. First of all, you EXO-Ls are taining the name of EXO, just like my point above, EXO is happy that they are able to have so many fans supporting them but they will not tolerate the behavior of disrespecting their sunbaes. Why does EXO-Ls have to go to the extreme every time?? You guys are giving the fan base a bad reputation in the KPop world. I am super happy for VIPs because YG bands makes a comeback every few years so it's not doubt that they are winning!! Secondly, the Korea ferry accident is not something you can joke around with, 304 people died in that accident. So please don't joke about things like this. Until next time, stay cool ma beans!!

OH MY LORD FLUFFY CHICKENS AND COOL BEANS!!! I just reached 1K beans!!! You beans my bean army has literally reached across the globe. I am not joking. I can see my audience and my beans are literally from across the world. I am now annoying in all 7 continents!! YAY!! To celebrate this special day... Let me share with you some videos that means a lot to me...

We are half way through Project Inspiration and if you did not feel the urge to learn 10 new instruments and start your own YouTube channel, or start pursuing a career in dance, get ready for a crazy KPop week. For week three, I have with me one of the biggest Facebook pages and they happened to reach 7K likes on their page very recently... and for week four, there is another person that I would like to introduce to you guys, she is absolutely awesome and she is one of my good friends who I've met this year. She shared my pain for AP Bio, and she shared with me so much relationship advice it's crazy. Get ready for an exciting last few weeks!!

This year on my speech team, I've seen many speeches on sexuality, and I remember this one speech where this girl's mother confronts her daughter and says, "It is okay for you to like girls because you can fit in with the trend. I understand." Then yesterday one of my favorite YouTube starts came out in a vlog. My friends all told me that "it is expected" but really, is it? He grew up around only his sister and mother, so without a doubt, he does not have a father figure in his life, so his actions are a little feminine, so what?? Does that really mean that he is gay? I'm happy that he came out in such a creative way, and finally that he has found himself, but the whole expectation thing and the whole peer pressure thing may have caused some people to come out when in reality, they are not gay or lesbian. As a society we just need to stop stereotyping people into groups and creating the pressure that turns them into something they are not. When a certain amount of pressure is applied to sand, it turns into glass, just like how us as a society is changing the way that people are behaving. Sexuality is something that is private, and should not be affected by anyone else in anyway. Even when they do come out, some may suicide after a few days or weeks, and is that really necessary? No it isn't, these are things that we can prevent just by treating them no differently than before and giving them support and not pity. So until next time, stay cool ma beans. 

As you all know, I reactivated my old KPop Instagram account, then I private it, a couple of times since the time that I reactivated it. Yup. I got creeped out by all you beans out there. Even though I am not following back most of you.

Okay I have my reasons. I seriously did follow all of the people that followed me on the first day. But then I got so many more followers that I cannot possibly follow you guys all back. But then, what you guys don't know is that I check out each and everyone of you who likes my pictures. And let me tell you, I am so creeped out that I'm considering deactivating my account again.

Beans, I seriously suggesting you guys to private your accounts. My account is public because I'm a blogger, and I don't post personal stuff on there. My normal Instagram account is private, so yours should be too. Some of you guys (literally guys) followed me, and there is half naked work out gym pictures everywhere and yet you are liking pictures of Kim Woo Bin on my Instagram.

It's super cute, but I see this, and I feel obligated to post more female KPop groups now. You guys are the pretty cool guys that I seriously would be friends with if I met you, but then there are people who post very inappropriate pictures and then comment on my pictures... yea my best friends who are following my account to support me are unfollowing me. So ma beans, please try to keep the pictures clean. And just for this weekend, IDK what is up, but MBCKPop has decided to leave last night's Music Core on, and may I say, MinHo is looking faaaiinnneeee as the MC. So go check that out like right now because MBC might private it again. So hurry up here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFtrHFBHIOk. Leave this blog right now and go watch it because Hotshot's Watch Out is the first song. And you def don't wanna miss that. I also want to thank you guys for literally reading my posts so much that I get around 50 views per day, so I LOVE YOU!!! I will try to post more on my life from now on, now that I've gotten everything done. Until next time, good night ma beans because I'm going movie watchin with ma bff tomorrow and yea, don't forget to stay cool. 

OLO ma beans! So if you pay attention to my posts, I talked about my mini inspirational project. Without anymore of my rambling I bring you Kenny, aspiring musician, and awesome beans for letting me interview him.
Q: To begin the interview, let's start with a short intro. Can you tell my readers a little about yourself and what you do?
A: I'm full Vietamese and I've lived in the U.S since birth. I play about 10 instruments. I'm not exactly "famous" but I mean it's okay! Overall though, I feel like I'm an awkward person in reality.
Oh My LOrd JeZUZ! 10 instruments??!! I can barely play the piano. 
Q: I noticed that your style is very similar to those in KPop boy bands, so are you considering working in that industry? 
A: Kpop.... Well I did consider joining JYP or YG but 1. No one would take me to auditions and 2. I doubt myself a lot when I watch people who are in those industries and I also didn't want people to criticize me for "Appropriating Korean culture."
Q: So someone said that to you?
A: Something on the lines of that. 
Q: Was playing the guitar kinda like a hobby or was it kinda something you use for relief? Like I play the piano so like a lotta times I would play songs based on my mood that day. 
A: Guitar. Really at first my mom forced me to take lessons but I grew a passion for it over time but I learned how to play more over the internet than lessons.
Q: What's your favorite fruit? Stick that non-inspirational question in there.
A: Watermelon. XD
Q: Do you ever feel the need to balance out school work with YouTube? Or is that kinda like something you put off to the side?
A: I barely upload much on YouTube so I think it's more school/social life side. 
Q: Are you planning on pursuing a musical career or is still undecided?
A: Possibly. I haven't decided what I want to do/ major in yet. 
Q: On this blog, I have WTF Wednesdays, so do you have any WTF stories you can tell my readers?
A: Well I guess one time I was in Virginia. Someone approached me and he knew me from the internet (which isn't usual) and I just kinda got scared. I'm not used to anything like this yet but I mean he was chill?
Q: Do you have any advice for readers out there who wants to start a YouTube channel but are reluctant to do so?
A: Just do what you want.
Q: Random question number 2. Do you have any pets, if so, what would you want as a pet?
A: I don't have any pets but I am a dog lover more than a cat. 
Q:What genre of music do you like?
A: No specific. I just knida listen to anything that sounds good in my opinion so it's hard to decipher my taste in music.
Q: What inspired you to make covers and have enough willpower to post all of that online?
A: Well I don't make many covers really but I kinda just heard music and wanted to play. But the closest person that inspired me is probably Sungha Jung. My style of playing is similar to his. Guitar wise anyways.
Well, you have been awesome at this interview and being the first person of my mini project, I hope he inspired you to go start something new this summer. Here is his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/KennyNguyenMusic subscribe and like lots! Until next time, stay cool ma beans!

OLO ma beans!! It's the last six weeks of school and countdown for summer is beginning. I decided that I wanted to start a new project giving some inspiration to all of you that might want to try something new this summer. Every Thursday, the Q & A that I normally do will be instead a interview between me and someone that I find inspirational. Whether it is a aspiring YouTube singer, or just someone close to me trying something new, I promise the interview will be awesome. I want to start my own podcast this summer, so I am also taking this chance to talk to other people that might help me do that. It's actually raining outside right now... LA has some crazy weather. To be honest, this weather has me all emotional and depressed... I'm thinking about my life right now and I want to cry because stress. Anyways, stay tuned every Thursday for that, until next time, stay cool ma beans!!

PS
I can't wait for you guys to meet the first interviewee of this mini project!! He will be answering my questions next Thursday, so please check back then!! He is super sweet and totally adorable, I think you guys will adore him.
