Bloom's Chat, April 7, 2005. (4Kidz).

Host says: Bloom is just taking off her coat and getting settled in.

Host says: She'll be ready to answer questions in just a few mins.

Host says: Hey Bloom. Welcome to our first celeb Winx chat. We're so happy to have you here.

Bloom says: *Bloom* smiles and waves

Bloom says: Hi! It's great to be here

Host says: As you can see there's a bunch of people already here to ask you some questions.

Bloom says: That's awesome! I can't wait!

Host says: peggm11 has a question.

peggm11 says: How do you control your powers?

Bloom says: Well, I'm just learning right now!

Bloom says: Alfea classes are really helping though.

Bloom says: I have to concentrate a LOT!

Bloom says: It does get easier with practice though

Bloom says: It's really cool to hang out with the Winx at school too

fairycoolgirl says: Bloom do you think everyone has Winx?

Bloom says: Yes, it may not look like what they expect though

Bloom says: everyone has something magical deep inside them, and they have the power to make their dreams come true

Host says: chibimoonemem has a question for you Bloom

chibimoonemem says to WinxGirl99: Do you have a BEST friend out of your friends?

Bloom says: Well, I think all of the Winx girls are my best friends, but Stella has been my friend the longest, so I might be a little closer to her

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: do you think i have winx?

Bloom says: I think everyone has magic inside them

nicole2005 says: What do you like the best about Alfea, Bloom?

Bloom says: Hmmm.. Well, I like hanging out with the rest of the Winx Club, and learning how to control my powers

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: Why are there no boys at Alfea School Bloom?

Host says: Good question WinxGirl99!

Bloom says: Well, since it’s a boarding school, it can’t be co-ed. They just don’t seem to have co-ed boarding schools here

mewichigotomboy says: whos your favorite teacher bloom

Bloom says: Professor WizGiz is really funny, so I guess he might be my favorite.

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: does that mean that there are no boy faries?

Hot chick says: SO HOWS PRINCE SKY

Bloom says: Well, there could be boys who are fairies -- there's a lot of realms

Bloom says: I just don't know where the boy fairies go to school!

Bloom says: Sky is great!

Bloom says: He's doing homework right now though!

Bloom says: I sent him a text message before I came -- so he says Hi!

lovetoshop78 says to Bloom: Bloom how did you feel when you found out you had Winx?

Bloom says: It was awesome and a little freaky at the same time. I'm glad Stella was there to let me know what was happening

Glam Gal says to Bloom: What's your fave spell, why, and how do you do it? Sorry if I ask too much, Bloom!!! I just would really like to know the anwser, 'specally cause yur my fave Winx Girl.

Bloom says: That's great -- thanks!

Bloom says: Well, I've got so many and I love them all --

Bloom says: I'm still learning them, so I guess I I don't have a favorite yet1

Glam Gal says to Bloom: Do you still like Sky, even though you found out he's not Brandon? Did you forgive him yet?

Bloom says: Yeah, I do.... and really, I like him for who he is. I was mad at first, but I like him for who he is

StarFairy999 says: will you take up the throne of sparx?

Bloom says: I'm still in school, and that's a little far away to think about right now -- I mean, I just found out that there was a kingdom called Sparx.

Bloom says: I'm trying to not rush things y'know

veisha says to Bloom: whats ur fave class bloom

Host says: These are really good questions everyone.

Bloom says: Hmmm…. Well let’s see, it kinda changes from term to term. I used to dread Metamorphosis, but that was because I had such a hard time, but now I really like it!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Cool. I was wodering if you would save the witches if they were ever in trouble?

Bloom says: Well, I probably would.....

Bloom says: it would be the right thing to do

Bloom says: plus, you never know, they could have a teeny tiny speck of goodness somewhere in there!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Did finding out you were roalty effect your daily life?

Bloom says: No -- not really! I still go to school, and still have the same friends! I guess it's different 'cause so many of the girls here are royalty too!

StarFairy999 says: Whats it like being away from your mom for so long? Mine is on vacation for 4 days and i dont know what to do i miss her so much

Bloom says: I miss my Mom tons!!!!!! It's really hard, but I've got an inter realm phone card now, so it makes it easier!

Bloom says: But I soooooooo miss her!

teddybleedstears says to Bloom: Bloom what was your fav thing that you did with the Winx Club?

Bloom says: Oh ... I would have to say I love hanging out in Magix .... and just doing spells

veisha says to Bloom: do you like having winx?

Bloom says: I do! It's really cool! And I'm so glad that I'm learning how to control it!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: What's your favorite animal? Why?

Bloom says: Bunnies! Because of Kiko of course!

cecyangel says to Bloom: Bloom would you like to meet your birth parents?

Bloom says: Well, I have to say I am curious

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: What do you think of the message boards?

Bloom says: They are AWESOME! I think its so neat to hear what everyone thinks!

YRAM says: Is it hard keeping your powers secret when you come to earth to visit?

Bloom says: TOTALLY! It's hard to keep things hidden, but I'm glad that I can help my family with my powers.

nicole2005 says to Bloom: Why the Senior witches r after your powers?

Bloom says: They're looking for power anywhere they can get it. I heard a rumour outside the Hex Cafe that they want to rule the realms!

balto says: is it hard batiling witchis

Bloom says: Yes it is -- it takes a whole lot of energy and concentration. I wouldn't want to go for a run after doing battle!

cecyangel says to Bloom: are the other winx girls coming to chat with us?

Host says: I'll answer that one. We're actually in talks right now with the rest of the Winx girls.

StarFairy999 says: Will Merta be able to stay at Alfea with you girls? She is so nice! I'm sure you will all be great friends!!!

Bloom says: Yeah, Mirta is really nice (even when she is a pumpkin!). I think that she's going to try to transfer to Alfea next trem. I hope she'll be allowed!

Bloom says: opps -- I meant to say term

sephiroth says: remember the barrier around magix that kept your parents out? Exactly how does it know what is magical enough and what isn't?

Bloom says: I'm not really sure how that works! I'm just learning, but we haven't covered that in class yet!

softball94 says to Bloom: hey bloom does stella all ways act mean

Bloom says: No -- when she was acting all crazy and mean- it was because she was under a spell. She's really pretty nice, and she's a loyal friend.

shiara says to Bloom: do you and Rivin get along ok?

Bloom says: Well, we have our moments, but really, I think he's probably nice. I mean, all the rest of the guys like him. He can just have a bit attitude sometimes. But I guess that's normal....

winxqueen16 says: What is ur fave color?

Bloom says: I love all the colors, but right now I think teal blue is the bomb!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Do you consider yourself the leader of the group?

Bloom says: Well.... I don't know if I'm exactly the leader. We're a team!

linet273 says to Bloom: is it cool having powers

Bloom says: Yeah -- I think it's awesome!

winxqueen16 says: What is ur fav thing to o with ur powers.

Bloom says: Right now I love practicing, and sometimes I like making little magical presents for my friends

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: Bloom i have a boy problem. .... How do i break up with my boyfriend??

Bloom says: ummm.. that's a tough one. Be direct, but kind. You have to let people know how you feel, and if you think you two are just growing apart, then say so. You can let people know how you feel without crushing them though.

honeycat193 says: what is your favorite thing about being a fairy Bloom?

Bloom says: well, I love the outfits! LOL!!!

Bloom says: But mostly, I love helping keep Alfea and my friends safe.

Host says: Hey all, just a reminder that we can't answer everyones questions, but we'll do the best we can. Keep up with the good questions though.

linet273 says to Bloom: how do you handel the witchs even if they keep attaching people

Bloom says: Yeah, they're pretty mean sometimes! But we all just do the best we can.

shiara says: Hey Bloom where you good at Math?

Bloom says: I'm working on it! But Tecna rocks with math!

Bloom says: I wish I could be as good as she is!

shiara says: Bloom are you good at Math?

softball94 says to Bloom: are there chat rooms offten

Host says: We'll try to have them as often as we can. Any other questions for Bloom.

cecyangel says to Bloom: can you change outfits when you are a fairy?

Bloom says: I haven't eve tried yet! Usually I'm super busy when I'm in my fairy outfit -'cause I wear it when I'm using my magic .

will says: what is the dragonfire exactly?

Bloom says: It seems to be my power...

Dream12 says to peggm11: Do you know any easy fire spells Bloom? I know I have a fire power, I just need spells........

Host says: Let's let Bloom answer that question.

Bloom says: I had some in my book in my room... but I can't think of one off the top of my head! Sorry! Fire power just comes naturally to me.

lrb98 says to Bloom: What's you favorite book Bloom?

Bloom says: Right now I’m pretty focused on learning more magic, so I’d have to say “Magic Basics: Simple Spells.”

will says: have you ever riden a dragon?

Bloom says: No I haven't. But I know the H&B boys have dragons and do dragon wrangling. I've never asked if they can actually be ridden!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Have you visited the Starbucks thread? It's hilarious! *dodges brick*

Host says: oh, no, not the brick dodgers!

Bloom says: No -- I haven't seen that one -- sounds dangerous though. LOL!!

cecyangel says to Bloom: Do you like Princess Diaspro Bloom ?

Bloom says: well... we ummmm... sorta got off on the wrong foot.

Bloom says: Bloom* blushes

Bloom says: I thought that she was one of the witches.

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: what is your fave movie?

Bloom says: One I saw in Magix with the rest of the Winx Club “Melanie Fluff Power Princess.” It’s about this really cool princess who learns how to rule her realm with style from an older, wiser fairy. It’s got a great soundtrack, and there’s a prince in it who is a total hottie!

StarFairy999 says: What was your favorite adventure with the girls and/or guys?

Bloom says: It's really hard to pick a favorite, and stuff just keeps happening too!

Club WinxGirl says to Bloom: what do you think about Prince Sky

Bloom says: umm.. he's really sweet1

mg_winxclub says: Do you think the classes will be harder next year at Alfea?

Bloom says: I've heard some of the older girls talking in the halls, and I think they will be, but I think we'll be able to handle it -- if we study hard that is!

Club WinxGirl says to Bloom: i love the winx so much im there #1 fan..your my favorite Bloom

Bloom says: Thanks!!!

lrb98 says to Bloom: What's your favorite food?Mines Pizza.

Bloom says: Mine too! I love pizza with extra cheese!!!

Txdancer says to Bloom: can you tell muse hi for me

Bloom says: Sure!! I know she'll think that's cool!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Whose hair is the best of all your friends?

peggm11 says to Bloom: duh stellas

Bloom says: Oh - everyone has awesome hair. I really love Flora's actually, but Stella's is so shiny, and Musa's is perky....

Bloom says: Techna has such a cool do too!

Dream12 says to peggm11: Would you rather learn new spells, or hang out with the Winx Club in Magix all day?

Bloom says: Oh, that is hard! I love hangin' with my friends, but I also love to learn new stuff!

Bloom says: So ideally,I'd do half and half!

winx777 says: What does Stella use on her hair to make it shiny???

Bloom says: She's got something that Flora has made. Flora makes all kinds of fab potions to keep us looking great!

Bloom says: I don't know what it is called though...

Baby Lashantia says: what's your fave song

Bloom says: right now I've been listening to Searchin'

will says: in the blog entrys musa said when you went to vist red fountain she thought she saw one of the dragons bow a little to you .Is that true?

Bloom says: Yeah. I mean, it wasn't a huge bow or anything, but it was there.

Bloom says: It was really cool!

Host says: Does anyone have any more questions?

winx777 says: Is it true that honey works on your hair too?

Bloom says: That would be a question I'd have to ask Stella or Flora. But they have done a hair mask that smells kinda like honey!

lovetoshop78 says to Bloom: do you ever plan on getting your ears pierced

Bloom says: I haven't ever thought about getting my ears pierced. So maybe, if I'm older I might, but I might be able to just make magic earrings!

lrb98 says to Bloom: What's your favorite drink?Mines just plain water.

Bloom says: I love water too, and I like the herbal teas that Flora makes too! She has an awesome Chai mix!

lrb98 says to Bloom: Do you like Lions?

Bloom says: Yeah - Lions are pretty cool! I don't think I'd want one near Kiko though!

winx_girl_006 says to Bloom: What did you really love to do when you have some free time?

Bloom says: I love to go for a walk, hang out in my room or, best of all, call my mom on my inter realm phone card.

dramaqueen1 says: would u rather have winx or be normal and be with ur parents more?

Bloom says: Oh, I miss my folks so much, that sometimes I think about being normal again

Bloom says: But I'd have to say I really like being here, learning how to do good things with my magic powers

lrb98 says to Bloom: What's your favorite spell?

Bloom says: I've got tons of them that I like, so I don't have a favorite one of my own yet! I do like Musa's subwoofer blast though!

lovetoshop78 says: what's your least fav food?

Bloom says: ummm... well, y'know if you have salad for lunch, and it's been in your locker all day, and you remeber it after school - but it's all soggy?! THAT's my least favorite!

Host says: Two more questions. Then I'm sorry, Bloom needs to get back to Magix.

cecyangel says to Bloom: I just love your room how did you decorate it?

Bloom says: Some of it was already decorated when I got there, and then Flora and I came up with some stuff of our own to make it more personal.

lrb98 says to Bloom: If you had to chose between your friends or powers what would you chose?

Bloom says: I'd have to say .... my friends! They would always have to come first!

Host says: It was great to have you as a guest here Bloom. I'm really glad to have finally met you. I hope you can come chat with us again sometime.

Bloom says: Thank so much for having me! And thanks everyone for such great questions!

Bloom says: Bye!

Host says: we love you Bloom!

Bloom says: Bloom* smiles and waves goodbye

Bloom says: thanks!

Host says: Well, that was fun.

Host says: Bloom is just leaving now. I guess she has to rush to another event.

Host says: Ah, the life of a celeb.

Host says: I've just found out we'll be having another guest from Magix.

Host says: Flora will be in the studio on April 21st.

Host says: Same time, same channel. :)

Host says: We're now going to have about 15 mins of open moderated chat so you all can chat with each other.

Host says: Thanx everyone for such great questions!

Day 4 - Myeongdong!

Hi guys welcome back to my channel!

Today was super fun!! It started off kind of rough (I started my period like right away this morning when I woke up, so 🙃) but luckily Nichole came STRAPPED with 800mg ibuprofen tablets. Seriously, I take ibuprofen on my period like candy; I’m sure that’s terrible for my body and I’m sure my liver is a shriveled up raisin but hey, better than having cramps.

Anyway, a lot of places in Myeongdong don’t open until a little later in the morning, like maybe 1pm or so? So we lazed around for most of the morning (which was nice for me because period pains knock me on my ass @__@). But finally we got up and got ready and headed out! 

Seriously, there’s something about the subway in Korea that I just love so, so much. I can’t explain it. I love the stations (hate the stairs, lol), I love that cold breeze that blows down the steps in the winter time, I love the noise, I love that feeling of satisfaction when I figure out the path and don’t get lost. It’s strange and I know a lot of people don’t like the subway but it was honestly one of the things I was so looking forward to coming back to. Excuse my love poem to the Korean subway, LOL.

So first, when you get into Myeongdong station, finding the underground mall is super easy cause it’s like, right in front of your face. LIKE BAM. There’s a lot of clothing stores, some teeny tiny restaurants, some souvenier shops, and of course there’s a few k-pop stores! This is where I usually go to buy things I don’t have, like some older releases, although they have new releases too! This is where I bought Arrival when it came out while I was here in 2017. 

Of course I didn’t take any photos in the mall because my eyes were falling out of my head at all the GOT7 things I could buy that I didn’t have, lol. But I made the smart decision of not buying all of that stuff until we were on our way back so I didn’t have to carry it. 

We came out of exit six, which will put you right near an entrance and right by the giant Nature Republican that is really recognizable since it’s got the greenery on the walls and is on the corner. It’s a good starter point and a rendezvous point of sorts since there’s lots of streets to walk down so it’s a good way to remember where you started. 

Or first stop: ARTBOX. I love ARTBOX. [chipotle is my life vine voice]. I love ARTBOX, ARTBOX is my life.

This ARTBOX in Myeongdong is three stories! THREE! THREE STORIES!!!!!! 

Seriously there is literally everything you could possibly need in this damn ARTBOX. Need school supplies? ARTBOX. Need bathroom decorations? ARTBOX. Need a wireless keyboard? ARTBOX. HOTEL???? TRIVAGO!!! 

Like I could honestly write a love song to ARTBOX. Instead, you can have this photo dump of the inside of the store!! 

The first floor is mostly stationary and beauty stuff! Like seriously there is the BIGGEST sticker collection here!! Stickers as far as the eye can see. I bought like... 5? Packs of stickers? Just because they have sooo many cute ones! They have a lot of really cute stationary sets and birthday cards. 

Even the elevator is cute!! We decided to take the elevator to the top floor and then walk back down through the other floors to see everything! 

I don’t know how good this will look on Tumblr but here’s a panorama shot of the second floor! This was mostly electronics and stuff but still there’s SO much cute stuff to look at!! They had wireless keyboards that were sooo cute and I was really tempted to get one but since I’m lazy I almost never sit at my desktop computer and am always performing some contortionist act on my bed with my laptop, lol.

There are so many little cute places to take pictures in here, too! This was on the third floor. Also, personal sidenote, but I literally LOATHE having my picture taken since I hate how I look... but I don’t have any photos of me from my first trip in Korea and I really wanted to change that this time around. It’s so hard to get over and I am still anxious about posting these kinds of photos of myself where I can’t control the angle but it really does make me happy to see myself in these places and to have this memory of being there, so it’s progress, I think.

Okay, dumb personal thing over. MORE PICTURES OF ARTBOX YAAAAY

PLUSHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Top floor! Lots of stationary and luggage up here.

The cutest decorations! 

CAPSULE MACHINESSSSS. I got an Adventure Time watch that you can’t change the time on, LOL. It just said 12:00 on it and I haven’t figured out how to change the time yet, but it’s of Tree Trunks and it’s cute so I ain’t even mad.

After we left ARTBOX (and I bought 944e9934985 stickers and a singular $6 pencil (but it’s PENTEL and it’s super fucking nice and no one is even going to breathe on that pencil if they aren’t me) we went to the LINE Friends store!! I had serious tunnel vision for ARTBOX and ended up walking right by it when we first arrived, but we doubled back and went to it. It was nice going during the week and kind of early because there was ZERO line for taking a picture with the giant bear!! 

Stupid cute. Love it. 

This was so cute!! There was a fucking SHITLOAD of BT21 stuff here, the whole top floor was BT21. It honestly made me wish I was into BTS cause they were so cute, lol. They did have some ugly ass shoes though and now I wish I had taken a picture of them because one pair was like....HAIRY.

The whole wall of the stairs was made of this and it was sooo pretty! 

Brown’s room!! I could have pet that bear all day, tbh. So soft.

After we left the LINE Friends store, we just walked around for a little bit! We went to go eat first, and we went to this place called Golden Farm and I had sundubu jjigae and ugh, so good.

We hit a lot of the beauty stores but I didn’t buy much (except at Etude House a little later), since there was honestly just... SO MUCH TO LOOK AT. I want to buy everything I look at but I’m really wary about buying skincare stuff without trying it, because I’m anxious about breaking out :( I found the Soojung line and I really wanted to try it but I am trepidatious about branching out without being able to try first. 

I also didn’t take a ton of pictures on the street or in the beauty stores but mostly because the employees were standing UP my ASS. I’m not mad about it, of course, but it was a little weird at times because I just wanted to look at stuff and they’d be standing at my elbow like 👀. But when we did go to Etude House later, I ended up buying the Peach Farm Play Color Eyes palette, a pretty liquid eyeshadow, a lip tint, and a mascara! 

I didn’t get a picture of this or a video and I’m so mad about it becaues it was so funny. But there was a guy in this really janky dog costume that was advertising for a dog cafe (!!!!!!) and he was being SO WEIRD!! He was doing this really weird thing with his legs and I started laughing so he high fived me and handed me a flier, LOL. And then he walked right behind me for a little bit until it was obvious I was not going to the cafe. Sorry manpup!! 

I wish we had stayed just a tiny bit later since as we were walking back a ton of the street food vendors were starting to pack up. However there was this one cart right outside exit 6 where we came out that had a few things like cheese on a stick, sausage and rice cake, sausage and cheese in bread (so basically a corndog with cheese lol) and even MANDU!!! So we stopped for a snack and omg honestly it was soooo good. There’s nothing like Korean streetfood! 

We went back down into the station and that’s when I bought all the GOT7 things I wanted to buy earlier. RIP my wallet. 

Gazing at my bags in shame. SHAME. That DAISO bag actually has an ass load of snacks in it for part of one of my classes! 

My flat lay of shame.

Coming back was crazy since it was starting to be rush hour. Omg the stations were SO busy it was insane. We only had to transfer one line but one of the trains was sooooo full that we decided to hang back and wait for the next one--this lady leapt in right as the doors were closing and they almost closed on her leg!!! Also, this little tiny old lady in front of me when we were walking up the stairs was trying to pull a wheeled cart up the stairs behind her, so I lifted up the back of it and helped her carry it up the stairs. Her smile when she turned to thank me was soooo sweet. ♥️

The sun going down through the window. The pollution was really bad but it was still oddly pretty..

Our classmate Gaby is actually here, too! She came for Spring Break to visit her boyfriend, but he had to go to his academy tonight so we made plans to hang out and get dinner. Originally we were going to Hongdae but she wasn’t going to be free until later like 8pm and I was so tired (my period is soooo draining, it sucks) so we agreed to hang out at our AIRBNB instead! And honestly, I’m so glad we did. When she got here she suggested we try this place called Pizza School that she loved a lot while she lived here and omg, she was right. It was soooo good! 

So we ate and we sat around and talked and laughed and joked around! It was so nice, I love her and it was such a fun bonding experience to get to know her a little better! I love my friends and I love even more that we got to hang out here together. It was such a nice way to end the day, so relaxing and sooo much fun. ♥️

Until next time, y’all! 

♥️
