My New Chapter

Hello lovely internet world!

Welcome to my new blog! My name is Natasha and I'm so happy you've stumbled upon my little corner here on the internet! ^.^

I was actually debating with myself whether or not to start this new blog. I've had about 3 blogs prior to this one all which are now inactive due to personal reasons. Basically to sum it up, I just felt really fake. I used my Korean name "Naeun" majority of the time because I didn't want any of my school friends to find out about my online persona. However that plan crashed and now a handful of my friends found the "online me".

Looking back to some of my old YouTube videos and blogposts, I was shocked to see how different I acted in comparison to real life. Of course, I usually go by Naeun when I'm speaking Korean or with my Korean friends but since I'm not very fluent in Korean I usually act a bit shy. Plus in Korean I just express myself differently, does that make any sense? Like when I speak another language, another side of me just kicks in and acts more accordingly to the culture and whats expected. Geez that must sound really weird, but it's true! I basically let the "Naeun" side of me take over the entire time and completely neglected the true me.

Right now I'm in the midst of my freshmen year in high school, and I'm slowly starting to find the true me. So, I want to start fresh with my social media life and showcase the true me- quirks and all.

I basically want to show people the real me. So, in this blog I'll be documenting my life. It'll kinda be like a diary filled with things I love, and I definitely won't be afraid to tell people about the online me any longer. :) So yeah, hi! I'm Natasha, it's nice to meet you! :) Instead of just welcoming you to my blog I thought I'd answer a few frequently asked questions so, leggo!

1.) Where are you from?

I'm from the United States of America. I was born here and lived here my entire life.

2.) How old are you?

I'm currently 14 years old! Surprise! I'm an '02 liner! People either tell me I look a bit younger or a bit older than my actual age.

3.) What your ethnicity?

It's kinda a mouthful but here it goes. I'm part Korean, part German, part Malaysian-Chinese, part Malaysian-Indian. I can speak a little bit of Mandarin but all my relatives in Malaysia speak Hokkien for their mother tongue. I also know a tiny bit of Malay due to the countless episodes of Waktu Rehat I binge watched as a kid. And as for other languages I can understand a good amount of  Korean since I love Korean culture! (Kdramas, Kpop, the whole shebang!) And lastly I know the tiniest bit of Japanese since my Korean grandmother lived in Osaka and Tokyo growing up. Whew! Told you it was a mouthful. My family often jokes that its already an enriching culture experience just growing in the family! lmao

3.) Kpop stans? *wink, wink*

I'll channel my inner kpop girl in a separate post some time soon. haha. So stay tuned!

4.) Where do you like to shop?

Hmmm. I honestly just gravitate towards anything comfortable but I like to shop at stores such as H&M, Forever 21, Aéropostale, and ooh I love TJMaxx with a passion!

5.) What are your hobbies?

Besides blogging and YouTube, I'm quite the indoorsy kinda gal. I love watching Kdramas, journaling, listening to music, doodling, and reading. :) Although, I'm all about trying new things so traveling is right up my alley too. I also enjoy playing tennis, which is something I recently picked up this year.

I hope this helped you to get to know me a little bit better and feel free to ask me anything else you'd like to know! I'm pretty open to talk about anything. :) hehe

Until next time!

~  With love,

Natasha
