Ateez Zero: Fever Part 2 Unboxing

I discovered Ateez last year as I was researching the top performers and the latest trends in the K-pop entertainment industry. Of all the idol groups I studied I thought Ateez the most promising and talented. Their music always stayed with me, too.

For more research purposes (and to pay back the group for the inspiration they gave me) I preordered all three versions of their latest album, Ateez Zero: Fever Part 2. These came from South Korea, so the shipping cost as much as the albums, but I thought it would be interesting to see what international fans receive when they do this.

This is everything that came from Ktown4u: The three sealed albums, three wall posters and three collectible idol cards in plastic sleeves (the posters and sleeved cards were a preorder promotional bonus.) Everything arrived nicely packaged and in pristine condition.

Each album comes in a very nice sturdy box. I am quite impressed with the quality of the contents, too.

This is what comes in the box: the album CD, a photo book, photo lyric cards, a sheet of stickers and two more individual idol cards. Promoting the images of the performers is basically as important as the music itself, as fans play an integral role in helping the group attain popularity through social media. I'll be listening to the album over the next few days and then I'll write up a review on that.

I'm happy I had the chance to do this. The experience provides much more realistic details for me to use while writing about my own fictitious K-pop idol group, plus it was fun.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Make It Yourself

As we head into December, here are ten ideas for easy handmade gifts: Cookie Exchange: If you live close to your friends invite them over for a cookie exchange. Basically everyone bakes a set amount of their favorite cookies, and these are exchanged at the gathering by lottery, sharing a little from each batch with everyone, or however you want to do it. You can also exchange recipes, too. My neighbor did this once and it was wonderful. Favorite Recipe Cookbook : For my favorite person I found a copy of my favorite cookbook from a vintage bookseller (yes, I am that old) and went through it making notes on all the recipes I used, how I tweaked them, etc. Ornament: There are probably a million free tutorials on how to make your own holiday ornaments, so do some research online. I like to make hanging pomanders , which smell heavenly and are biodegradable after the holidays. Mug Rugs: If you sew, making up a set of mug rugs is simple and easy; I add these every year to my ...

Journal Find

This is a page from my 2010 poetry journal. My handwriting isn't the best, so I'll transcribe it: If my heart survives to tell all the secrets kept inside it will be an abalone shell in which the beauty did reside. But I think I will always be lost to the tides that rage in me . . . humbling and polishing . . . I don't write many self-portrait poems, but this one isn't too embarrassing. A bit overly dramatic, but the girl I was eleven years ago went through some tough times. I'm in a much more peaceful place today.
