HISTOIRE HOMME, the magazine featured a few posts back focuses on men's fashion, culture, and current trends. But what is a men's magazine without a female counterpart?
Introducing, HISTOIRE FEMME. I interviewed a very dear friend of mine about her tastes in fashion, her passions and what not. Photographing her was a blast, her sense of style encapsulates 50s Housewife meets Revolutionary Leader.

As a treat to ourselves for performing, we went ahead and ate at Korean Garden BBQ as a little mini celebration for our efforts. I mean, it'd be terrible if we just left after the performance! We need a little energy after using ours up, so we ate as much as we could, little did I know that I'd make a ton of memories during this dinner. This post doesn't really have any context to it, it's really just a photojournal of what happened afterwards, also there is food so read this on a full stomach, or on an empty if you'd like to make yourself suffer.
This picture would've been better if Zi hadn't done something weird with his face. Thanks Zi. Thanks. Just kidding, I guess he didn't know when the shutter went off? At least Calvin and Nikki look spectacular!!
Alex joined us! Hi Alex!
President Hana, Secretary Marylin, Alyssa, and Jaimie sat at the table next to ours.
As did many of our other friends. The more the merrier really.
This photo sums up Nikki and Calvin's relationship entirely.
Kayla showing Cassidy and Deb how to cook, or the other way around I'm not entirely sure.
Q with a full mouth, Kela, and Kevin. :D
Ricky, Zoe, and Justice came in after everyone else, so we were complete!
Cassie, Nicka, and Justice's mom joined as well! Thank you again to Justice's mom for driving them all the way to Chinatown, you rock!
It was Zi's first time eating Korean BBQ I think, he enjoyed it!
The infamous freaking mashed potatoes. For some reason, these mashed potatoes were so tasty we kept finishing it and each time the waitress would come back with smaller portions. It wasn't until Calvin called her back and did a weird hand clenching thing and she gave us two huge scoops. I have no idea but we all found it to be so freaking funny. Especially Sara and Alex, they laugh way too hard at the mention of mashed potatoes!!
Vice President Esther and Tech Editor Priscilla!! Scissors up Esther's nose because she doesn't know how to hold stuff.
I'm blogging this at 10:08 PM and I'm getting hungry again. Particularly craving the brisket and the samgyupsal (pork belly).
the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone who is
suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of
attitudes.
In this case however, it is my high school's annual production where acts from different cultures come together and perform in front of an audience. This year's Culture Shock, hosted by Leo Club, took place March 7th and all proceeds of the event went towards relief caused by Typhoon Haiyan.
This year was Korean Club's second year performing, and to be quite honest, we were much better compared to last year's production. We practiced way ahead of time and were more organized in comparison to what we did last year. As a side note, Korean Club was the star of the show, it isn't a biased view coming from me, it's fact. LOL
I had Esther borrow my camera and take photos of the event, so here's a little recap of what happened that fun night. Acts ranged from traditional dances from Mexico and Korea, Polynesian dances, Chinese Dragon Dancing, to modern dances that featured Korean Pop Music. You can guess which segment our club fell into.
Before we went on stage, we all got ready in our advisor's classroom, pumping each other up and whatnot.
Kevin, myself, Kela, and Ricky. Minus Calvin and Zi, we were the only guy dancers this year for our performance
Jaimie, Priscilla, and Alyssa. These three helped choreograph one of the bigger parts of our dance.
We made sure to make everyone match in some form, and it just so happened Nicka, Sara, and I wore polka dots, hehe.
Our club is tiny, but we're powerful. We don't really do club pictures so this was a first. Our club adviser, Mrs. Foster, is on the very right. To the tune of GD&TOP's Don't Go Home, miss A's I Don't Need a Man, EXO's Growl, and Ailee's U&I, we put on a performance for the books. But for now, here are some of the acts before us.
Liberty High School's ROTC program were invited to be the opening.
Chinese Dragon Dancers.
Traditional Korean Fan Dancing. Aren't their Hanboks so pretty?
Irish Sword Dancing.
Traditional Mexican Dancing. They told a story about two chickens fighting.
Polynesian Dancers!
My high school's students also performed during the event.
Japanese Taiko Drummers who made infectious beats.
After a short intermission, we were the second group to go. I don't know why but the nerve wracking feeling before you head to the stage is completely unbearable! I can't explain it however, that when your foot steps upon that stage, all nervousness and self doubt goes away. Maybe it's gotten to the point where my nerves were so bad they numbed themselves, or maybe it's the lighting that's so bright we can't see our audience?
Being the first portion of our group up, we danced to the infectious tune of GD&TOP's Don't Go Home.
Ricky was GD in our dance cover, whilst Calvin was TOP. Zoe, the one with red tights, played the girl who Ricky vied over. Calvin was the wingman and we, the backup dancers, played the role of trying to get them together.
As our portion ended, miss A's I Don't Need a Man was up next. So appropriately, all the girls pushed us guys away. Talk about harsh!
Joined by Sara; Nicka, Cassie, and Zoe's performance was all about girl power.
After their performance, we cut the lights and headed to the next part. EXO's Growl.
I think one of the highlights of this performance was the dynamic lighting the Tech department had done. All the lighting was possible thanks to one of my dear friends, Kimmy Kinan, who single-
handedly organized the best lighting possible.
See what I mean? The silhouettes created by the lighting was phenomenal.
The dancers who participated in Growl were split up into two factions. Kinda like how they did in the music video!
And as our finale, we had our friend Kayla sing Ailee's U&I that left the audience speechless.
Kayla's black and gold dress looked absolutely majestic on her. She looked like a superhero songstress.
Our big finale!
Afterwards, we all walked out for one big role call/bow.
I cannot express how proud I am to be Historian for Korean Club. Seeing my members put their all into the performance made my heart swell. It was such a fantastic thing to see their progress from day one of the many practices we had. Thank you again to Leo Club for putting this event together!
Oh and before you shut your browser off, I'm sure you're wondering how the performance exactly went. Well, the ever so wonderful Tiffanie recorded it for us. Take a look! Be sure to watch in 1080p HD for the full in yo' face experience!
