- Hi guys.
So I am editing this vlog
that you guys are about to watch,
and I'm realizing how fragmented the vlog is.
I think it's because I was talking to my sister,
and also my friend a lot so I kind of forgot
to talk directly to the camera.
But I'm here to chime in throughout the vlog,
and let you guys know what's going on
so you guys are not lost
in our side conversations.
And I also want to do a little disclaimer.
Basically, I got yelled at by my sister
for exposing her messy apartment.
It's because she wasn't done moving in.
This was like a week
after she actually moved into this apartment,
so it's still like very messy
because she hasn't organized everything.
But yeah, here's the vlog from a very windy day,
which you will see.
I went outside for a second
to grab us Molly's Cupcakes
'cause it was right down the street.
(coat rustling)
See you all later.
And I didn't think much of it
because it looked cold,
but then it's like right across the street.
So I just wore this and then my puffer jacket
and walked out,
and the wind today is so strong.
(laughs)
I haven't experienced a wind like that in a while.
Like I swear,
I think I flew for a bit
because of how strong the wind was.
So now I'm back,
but my face is all red from the wind,
and my ears are red.
And my hair it was also flying everywhere,
and it was the most annoying thing ever
because I had two coffees,
and a cupcake in my hands
and I couldn't fix my hair,
and then my coffee was overflowing,
and it was just a really stressful
20 minutes of my life.
But yeah, I'm braiding my hair
so if I have to go out again,
my hair won't fly around like that
because I do not want to deal with that again.
I'll tell you guys how strong the wind is today.
My friend, Chaemin,
is supposed to come to Chicago on a train today,
and she just texted me saying
the train might not work
because of the strong wind,
so I don't know what's going to happen there,
but we'll see what happens.
I haven't had my hair braided
like this in a while.
I kind of like it.
So we got the creme brulee,
and this was my choice,
blueberry cheesecake.
Is it hard on top?
Can you tap it?
(fork taps)
(fork scrapes)
(Kelly chuckles)
And now we have two Americanos,
and this is what I meant.
The coffee kept overflowing.
It like bubbled out,
and I was like,
I'm trying to walk as smoothly as I can.
What a nice BTS moment in the back.
I'm going to try the blueberry first.
(cat screeching)
Hmm.
It's really good.
I was just talking about
how I'm not a big cupcake person,
but this is not cupcakes.
It's like almost like a cake,
cupcake now because I feel like normally cupcakes
have a really bad frosting.
It's really sweet though.
Apparently I haven't had the right kinds of cupcakes to know
what I'm really talking about when I talk about cupcakes,
but I agree because I always think
of like those Costco Cupcakes that you have at school,
or like at a party, like you know, those cheap cupcakes
where the frosting is just straight up cheap sugar.
So the store was really cute
and worth visiting.
And I really, really liked the crumble cupcake actually.
So if you're in Chicago, definitely check it out.
(bright upbeat music)
I'm going outside again because I had to get PCR test today.
I'm walking into the testing center,
that's like 16 minutes away and I'm ready this time.
I don't want to be blown away,
and I don't want my years to get red so.
(bright upbeat music)
I have taken over my sisters worked us
because she's on lunch break right now,
and I made her go pick up-- - [Girl] Mum, Mum?
- Hi, I made her go pick up lunch for us,
but I am currently editing my finals vlog
which is why I'm vlogging on my phone
because my SD card is hooked up to my laptop.
But yeah, I also have a meeting at one,
which is 20 minutes away
and I'm really excited for this one.
So I had another meeting yesterday
and that was related to my Instagram.
So that was really interesting.
I got a lot of insight about like Instagram
and how like the business side of Instagram works
and like personal branding
and I'm a business student.
So a lot of things like that interests me a lot,
and I'm very intrigued by all that.
But today is also more like a business type of meeting
with a CEO of this startup,
and I'm just really excited to learn about them
and also see how I could be involved
in like learning from their business.
So I should be able to tell you guys more about it
in my later vlogs,
hopefully if this meeting goes well.
And I just wanted to update you guys,
I don't really have a lot of action
going on today until later in the day.
So yeah, kind of boring,
but I love it because I'm out of school
and everything is just so much better
when I'm not at school.
(bright upbeat music)
Okay, guys,
we're about to get on the call and I'm a little nervous
because it's a call using Google Meet,
and I haven't used Google Meet in a while
'cause everything's on Zoom these days.
So, (smooch) I'll see you guys later
and I'll update you guys.
I never put my hair in a braid
because I feel like it would make me look
like a middle schooler or something,
but I'm kind of liking it.
And like, I kiss my hair off my face,
but it doesn't make me bald.
Like the flyway stayed down
because your hair is parted sideways,
instead of being like back where it's like flying out,
you understand what I'm saying?
- [Jenny] Sure.
- Anyways, done with my meeting.
That was fun.
It was with (beep).
For lunch, we got sandwiches from a small cafe
that we followed on Yelp.
We were a little scared
because the reviews weren't like amazing,
but like the pictures looked good.
So we placed a bet pretty much.
So like all paddies kind of look bad sideways,
'cause it's so flat.
(Jenny speaking in foreign language)
the smell.
- It's because of truffle.
I don't really like truffle,
but I feel like with hot sauce,
it might be fine.
- [Jenny] Consider it quite a taste.
- Hmm mm.
- [Jenny] Got it? - Hmm mm.
I think I have to talk about why I'm so happy
eating this sandwich.
I don't know.
I just look really happy here.
So I guess I'm going to touch on that a little bit.
So before I got to my sister's house,
I had a list of things that I wanted to eat in Chicago.
And one of the foods that I was really craving
was a grilled sandwich, like a panini.
And we tried so hard to find an actual panini place
and we couldn't really find a specialized place
except for this one place that we found on Yelp.
And then my sister went into the store
and realized that the menu was old
and they didn't really have paninis in their menu.
And she shows very bummed out,
but she also, "Okay, I'll just get a sandwich,"
but the sandwich ended up
being like a grilled sandwich anyways,
and it was so good.
And if you guys know me personally,
I had sandwiches like every single day
for lunch in high school,
and I'm still not sick of those sandwiches,
which says a lot about how much I like sandwiches.
Sandwiches with good bread and like greasy bread, you know,
it's like, well buttered or whatever they use.
I think I wanted panini because like Chicago cold weather,
and then I thought of Bread Co.
And out of the sandwiches I've had,
I really like my mom sandwich
that she used to make me in high school
just because like nostalgia it brings.
And also, I don't know,
it was just a taste that I never got sick of.
But other than that,
another sandwich that I can never forget about
is this one grilled sandwich I had
at this place called Bread Company at UIUC.
My sister went to UIUC,
so I used to visit during breaks
and she used to take me here
because it was like she knew I would like it
because I'm a big like bread person.
And it was just so good.
Like I can't forget about like the bread was perfect.
Everything inside of it was perfect.
It had like a pick two, where you pick a sandwich
and either like a soup or a salad,
and it was just so perfect.
So that's me talking about that place.
And like their sandwiches, you know,
like with good bread and like it's kind of greasy,
it's warm.
If you're at UIUC,
you need to go to Bread Co and try their sandwiches.
- [Jenny] The Bread Company.
- Bread Company, same thing.
- [Jenny] They're still there.
- Yay!
I would've gone to that school just for that.
But then I would have probably,
I would have been texting you,
like, I think I'm going to die 'cause it's so cold every day
and I'll probably never take a shower
because I hate taking a shower when it's cold,
'cause it's so cold when you come out
and I can't even go to the bathroom
'cause the toilets cold and it's not a good time.
I'm about to leave again.
The plan for tonight is it's like 4:30 right now,
so it's late afternoon,
but I'm going to go meet a friend that I've known
since like elementary school to catch up.
And also we're going to get our nails done together
'cause my nails just are really grown out right now.
So we're going to go get our nails done,
and then from there I'm going to go meet my friend Chaemin,
and then my sister's going to join us
and we're going to go to Christmas Market hopefully,
and then we're going to get hot pot for dinner
or that's the plan for it,
or that's the plan for now.
So I'm about to head out right now
because I'm going to take the bus.
So then I also want to save some money.
(bus engine roaring) (bright upbeat music)
My cat Nimo and my friend Chaemin
had like a little reunion moment
because I think this is our first time seeing him
in like two years and her family used to cat sick for us
every time we were out of town.
So they actually have a relationship going on.
(Chaemin cheering)
- [Kelly] Nimo, do you remember her?
- I missed you bro.
(Kelly laughs)
(bright upbeat music) (indistinct chattering)
The whole hot pot trend has been a thing for a while,
like even in Korea,
it was a big trend for a while
and I never really got myself to try it
just because I like knew I wouldn't like it,
and everyone around me was like,
"Yeah, I feel like you wouldn't like it
"because of the spice,"
like the very strong spice,
and I can tolerate spicy food,
but I just can't tolerate like spicy pepper spice, you know?
So my Dad is literally like an enemy of that.
So everyone was like, yeah,
"Just don't try it
"because I feel like you're going to hate it
"like for real."
I tried it for the first time last year
and it was quite possibly the worst thing
I've tasted for myself.
Like I just couldn't handle the spice.
And like, it was just too much on my tongue
and I just had a very like negative experience,
but we went to this hot pot place
and my sister and my friend ordered
like one of the spicy options,
like spicier options.
And I was so scared to try.
I will not be trying that,
'cause like (speaking foreign language)
It's like a death potion.
(speaking in foreign language)
(Chaemin coughs)
- [Kelly] Then it's fine if you eat later though.
Are you okay?
Let's go? - No.
- I literally promise myself
that I wouldn't even touch that part of the hot pot
because I just knew I couldn't do it, but I did.
(indistinct chattering)
(Kelly speaking foreign language)
(bright upbeat music)
(Kelly speaking foreign language)
We couldn't go to the Christmas Market,
but that's okay,
because I feel like even if we did go,
we would've just been suffering and the wind, ouch!
But we went to a hot pot place
and a subscriber was there.
Like, I don't know if he's still subscribed,
but I hope he is.
We got so much like extra stuff
that we didn't order for free.
And we ended up having the biggest feast.
So that was good.
And also like their mango juice was good.
We had ice cream and now we're back with a full stomach.
That was the only thing we did outside.
I don't know if you would be watching,
I feel like you would watch the cats like a Chicago vlog.
(both speaking foreign language)
So we got to try Kobe beef
and that's probably like the nicest meat they have on there
because it was so good.
And Chaemin was saying how it melted and (chuckles).
- [Chaemin] The flavor just melted on my tongue.
(both laughs)
- Mm hmm hmm, the flavors are melting on my tongue.
- And like we tried to make her say it in person
to the person who gave us the service,
but we were too shy.
So if you're watching this, thank you
and we really did have a nice meal.
So had a good time.
Now we're just in here playing with the cats.
Merry Christmas gift time.
So I didn't really know what to get my friend Chaemin
for Christmas gifts,
because it was so much easier
when we used to go to high school together
because I would just always know what she wanted
and we would always go to like Target or Ulta
as our like hanging out.
And, you know, we would always go through the same,
like obsessions together.
So it was very easy,
but because we were apart for so long,
I wasn't sure what she was into,
but I remembered that she had always wanted a Tom Ford
perfume and these are really expensive.
So I obviously couldn't get her like the full bottle,
which costs like $200.
But I found these like smaller sizes on Sephora.
And I even asked her on text like,
"Hey, what was the perfume that you wanted?"
Cause I couldn't like decide
if it was like the cherry one or the peach one.
She had literally told me.
And I think she forgot about it by the way she reacted.
- Wow! It's so nicely packaged.
- [Kelly] Wait, let's take a picture first.
Can you take a picture of us?
(camera shutters)
- It's a nice packet.
- [Kelly] Nimo, go get some (mumbles) Nimo.
(Chaemin cheering) (Kelly exclaiming)
- Whoa!
(clanking)
(speaking foreign language) Whoa!
- [Kelly] You like it? - Oh my God!
I'm like shaky.
(Kelly chuckles)
Whoa! - [Kelly] I'm glad
you liked it.
(both speaking in foreign language)
- Actually, except for my dad.
(Chaemin speaking foreign language)
- [Jenny] I like it. - It's like very smelly.
(Chaemin speaking foreign language)
- [Kelly] Very gender neutral.
(Chaemin speaking foreign language)
- [Kelly] Smells powdery you know.
- [Chaemin] Look at it.
(both mesmerizing)
- [Kelly] Wow! That smells really good.
I might get one for myself.
My sister, Chaemin and I,
we were just all talking
and then we decided to call Chaemin's little sister
because we wanted to see
this like new TikTok famous dance.
I don't even know it was like TikTok thing,
but like a new trendy move that teenagers these days do.
So we called her out and the first thing she said,
when she picked up the phone was like, "Are you guys drunk?"
And Chaemin was like, "No, we're not drinking
"on a Thursday night
"and no, we're not drunk."
(Chaemin laughs)
- It's our first night.
I'm not drinking on a Thursday night, what?
So I'm at Kelly's sister's Jenny's house.
And she wanted to see you go like dance along,
you know, when you go like this?
- And then we got a one-on-one tutorial
on how to do this like sassy move.
(Chaemin speaking in foreign language)
- [Kelly] I know.
- You know what to do it too?
- I don't.
I know other guys were (both laughs)
- This is all you do, like in college you go like,
(both laughs)
- This is the new move I learned today.
Wait that's re-boxer.
(bright upbeat music)
- All good to go, okay.
(both speaking in foreign language)
(camera shutters)
(speaking in foreign language)
- Okay, we are all ready for bed.
What if NCT has their tour in March
and somehow the LA date matches your spring birthday
and you just come and visits Sarah, me,
or like we can stop and like go visit you
during like the weekday.
And then we can all go to the concert together.
Like, I'll go with you. - [Chaemin] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- If we can get the tickets.
(Chaemin speaking in foreign language)
Ready for bed.
Bye.
(upbeat hiphop music)
