just because I have nothing better to do

Technically, I have LOTS of things to do but am too lazy. Started the week with a 2-day vacay and it sort of set the R&R mode so the entire week I was lethargic and lazy and always coming up with excuses to not do what I should be doing.

Just got home from a family lunch at Bagoong Club. First time to eat there and it was scrumptious! They were having this 40% off promo and so we decided to have daddy's birthday lunch over there. We had crispy pata, kare-kare, monggo with beef chuva and lots more. Super busog ♥ Food was yummeh and service was superb! I didn't have to ask for iced tea refills, they refill it even before my glass's empty. Daddy's heading back to the province tomorrow :(

Anyway, I've been youtube-ing ever since we got home and would like to share this- Ramon Bautista's Tales From The Friend Zone, Episode 1

Pamatay ang intro music! Haha. 

Sana makakita tayo ng boylet na mukhang Phillip Phillips pero with Ramon Bautista's sense of humor. Is that asking for too much? :P

I am currently addicted to missA's music video "Goodbye Baby" and I am a Suzy fan (albeit I have recently developed an aversion to the name). I'm trying to dance to it and I look like a big bouncing ball I really think it's high time I take losing weight seriously. Became a big Suzy fan after watching Dream High and I need to watch her movie Introduction to Architecture/ Architecture 101

She's so pretty :) And reviews say that it is a good movie. There are available torrents but no subs yet. Dear Die Hard Fans, Please do your job. Haha. Demanding ba? I can't understand a thing but why do I feel someone will die in this movie? #stereotype 

Anyway, got to go now. Dinner in a wee bit. We're having KK for dinner- Kalderetang Kambing! #thisiswhyimfat

hirap mag move on

I've accepted that Jessica lost to Phillip but I still can't move on from the Idol craze just yet. Not just yet, not now that Phillip just had won and we are now being bombarded with all things Phillip ☺ <stalker mode. hihihi >

What's adorable about him is he admits that he's not the best among the 12 finalists, that he's just a lucky guy, which is also true, by the way. Though that doesn't mean he isn't talented because HE IS! Jessica and Phillip have their own distinct styles and most Filipinos associate singing contests with birit-style pieces.

Today before I left to watch Joe Jonas (ha!), I watched him on Jay Leno. It must have been surreal for him to be sitting there, being interviewed by Jay Leno.

I admit that I like Phillip mainly because the guy is cute. I'm not a great fan of his performances on the show, maybe just his duet with Jessica and Bob Seger's We've Got Tonight

First got acquainted to the song via Ronan Keating's version, then the original one while watching The Wonder Years. Loved it the first time I heard it and I also love PP's version. Liked his version of Matchbox 20's Disease also. I miss Rob Thomas. Saan na kaya siya?

He's too cute. I just can't. And oh, his girlfriend's such a stage girlfriend, making herself visible- must be a signal to Phillip's fans to keep their paws to themselves.

Note to Jessica: Ikaw pa rin ang wagi, bakla!

Those eyes. That stare. Haaaay....

idol nila. hindi idol niyo. gets?

Ang hirap sa mga Pinoy, walang natatalo. Kung hindi nanalo, siguradong dinaya.

Of course, I want Jessica Sanchez to win and if we're going to go with talent, there's no doubt she has it. But we have to remember that this is a contest where the viewers get to decide who wins and unfortunately for us, it is not us who get to make the decision. Even before the finale, I already had a nagging feeling that Phillip Phillips will win. I think it is called American Idol for a reason thus her Filipino-Mexican heritage may have actually worked against her favor. I'm just embarrassed by how most Filipinos reacted to Jessica's loss. Sore losers, we are.

Also, the demographics of the voters are teenage girls and young teenage girls find Phillip Phillips cute. Heck, I am no teenage girl and I do think he is cute. Nanaig lang ang sinasabing Pinoy Pride but if Phillips was against some other dude or girl, he definitely has my vote (which would be irrelevant since my vote wouldn't count).

Naman. I was watching the replay of the results night with my parents and sister. Ryan Seacrest had just announced the winner and when Jessica hugged Phillip, I told ate, "Ay, panalo na rin si Jessica kasi na-hug niya si Phillip." Natawa si Father Dear. Naisip niya siguro anak niya desperada. Haha.

Don't we do the same in text voting contests here? Either yung pogi o guapo o kung sino kailangan yung prize money. Diba? But really, even if Jessica is only runner-up to P(squared), she can consider herself a winner with a recording deal in the works with Tommy Mottola, no less.

The best performance in today's finale was Jennifer Holliday and Jessica Sanchez's performance of And I Am Telling You I Am Not Going for two things: 1) the vocal powerhouse and, 2) Holliday's very animated facial expressions

When I first saw Holliday on stage, I honestly thought she'll be doing a spoof... mukha kasing contestant sa Doble Cara. This is so mean of me (and a million others) but man, facial expression kung facial expression

Grabe naman din ang mga Pinoy, ang bilis talaga pagdating sa kalokohan

grabbed from Facebook

Mild pa yan. May halimaw sa banga comment pa. I know it's mean but it's so funny at the same time. 

And my second favorite performance

Because I like the song. At kinilig ako sa kanila. Wala lang, gusto ko lang. Walang basagan ng trip.

It was fun watching with ate. She called and asked me to watch the season finale with her. She didn't go to work cos she wasn't feeling well. I had planned to watch alone in my room para naka-concentrate, but it was more fun watching and okray-ing with someone. LOL. 

"Ayoko si Deandre. Naiinis ako sa buhok niya. Feel na feel niya akala niya maganda."- me on Deandre's mala-shampoo commercial hair flips while performing on stage

"Naks, and confident! Pero in fernez, maliit waist niya."

"Parang naka Iron Man suit lang ah."

"Ang laki ng pwet grabe, parang si Bituin Escalante, pwedeng patungan ng baso."

- on Chaka Khan's armor suit

"Ang laki ng hita ni Rihanna!"

"Pero ang haba ng legs"

"Ang taas naman kasi ng panty niya, no"

"Bakit pag mataas panty mo, mahaba legs mo?"

- on Rihanna's hita, panty and legs

"Uy long hair na si Fantasia, kung hindi siya inintroduce hindi ko siya makikilala... uy, naka-Iron Man suit din siya."

- on Fantasia Barrino's onesie

"Ay akala ko bakla."

- on Jennifer Holliday

"Ayoko yan, ang ingay"

"Ayaw din siya ni Dodoy, maingay nga daw."

"Pero favorite siya ng judges, eh."

"Basta, ayoko siya. Parang gusto kong sampalin- parang may sapi."

- on Joshua Ledet's singing style

I'm definitely watching them if they're coming here on tour. Nako, wag lang sa dates na nasa SG ako please!!! 

So again, to my fellow Jessica Sanchez fans, let us not be sore losers. In every contest, there is a winner and a loser. Para naman tayong mga pulitiko natin- walang talo, lahat dinaya. Actually, may theory ako- sa dami ng mga nandaya at nag-try mag-vote via Skype/Facebook/Magic Jack pero andito sa Pinas, the number of unqualified votes were subtracted from the qualified ones. Right-minus-wrong. Haha. Promise, feeling ko ganyan ginawa nila. But at the end of day,  America has decided and they want Phillip to be their Idol, okay? Pa-world-world idol pa kayo, American Idol nga sabi. Wag nang makulit. 

Jessica, winner ka pa rin kasi ang tagal ng hug mo kay Phillip ♥

hold on to your self-esteem

And I mean it.

Found this on Twitter-verse

This video in a nutshell: it's more fun in the Philippines for the rich and the beautiful. Life is unfair. I know it. You know it. Now live with it. 

So did you hold on to your self-esteem? Nobody warned me and looks like mine just dropped into oblivion. Ha.

And oh, this just in. I now hate the name 'Suzy.' Ick.

going south

Went south, actually. I was in Sta. Rosa, Laguna last Saturday and in Batangas from Monday to Tuesday.

A for A-fort.

With my "partner-in-crime's" heavy persuading, I agreed to go with her to Sta. Rosa on a Saturday. Her heavy persuading and the fact that I still owe her one for manning my bazaar booth last December. 

This company had a mini-bazaar for their employees. Initially thought that it was the company's family day and we were expecting lots of people. I'm not so sure what it was cos it read "Wellness Bazaar" on their tarp, eh parang main event naman ang booth ng National Book Store. I sold 18 bottles of colognes, not bad eh? ;) Apparently, that's 500% more than what I sold in that frickin' call center bazaar and that was during Christmas season pa! Patner-in-crime sold way more than what I sold and I think it's a little unfair that we share 50/50 on the expenses. Pero keri na rin. Next time I should demand the same from her. Hehe.

During the bazaar, there was this fresh milk booth and their products were selling like hotcakes- as in patok sa takilya. On their ref there was this sign that read "P20" so I thought many were buying because they're selling their 1-liter milks for cheap. PIC and I even wondered how they can sell it that cheap- baka malapit na masira. But I though what the heck, it must taste so good for people to buy lots plus I want to buy some for my nephews. I went to their booth and got 4 pcs- one of each flavor. The salesman added another one para lima na daw. Fine. I handed him P100 and he asked me, "ano 'to?" Sabi ko, "hindi ba P20 isa?" "Ay yung maliliit po yun. P100 po isa nito." Ack. Shet, napahiya ako. I got 3 pcs. Lintsak P300 din yun. At eto pa, hindi siya gusto nila J&J. Now I have 3 liters of milk to finish.

Buti na lang sumama ako- sayang din ang benta, kahit maliit yun hindi ko kikitain kung nagstay lang ako sa bahay. Wala pa akong fresh milk |:)

Punta na sa Punta Fuego.

Went to Punta Fuego to celebrate A's birthday. 'Call time' was 9:30 in the morning but since I had to hitch with AD, I was already in their house at 7:30am, which is better than being late and very sweaty. Haha. We left the house at 11:30 and arrived at Punta Fuego after lunch. 

1. the night sky captured by my phone cam; 2. welcome daw

It is a nice scenery but the beach isn't that nice. A and I attempted to walk from the casitas to Long Beach, but her handy dandy driver saw us and brought us there instead. Pero in fernez, in our short attempt, we saw a blue-colored bird flying from tree to tree. As I've mentioned, medyo laos and beaches nila. Pampang beauty ako for the day. Just chatted with A on the shore and whenever she goes snorkeling for a while, I'm left all by myself to muni-muni. We decided to go back to the casitas since it has gotten very dark and the clouds are heavy. As we were walking back, heavy rain started pouring. Actually, downpour siya with matching hampas pa ng raindrops sa fez. Buti na lang may dumaan na shuttle. 

It was a fun, typical day-out with A- musing on life together, musing on our non-existent love lives and the inevitable walk down memory lane. Samahan na ng dinner buffet at breakfast buffet- super solb :) Haha. I cherish all my friends who also cherish me and A and I were friends for a loooong time. We go way, way back when she was the class's Cleanliness & Beautification Chairman and I am the girl whose things were always makalat on the classroom floor, back when she was the class beadle at ako ang suki sa Tardy Girls List, back when she was the President and I am her VP and vice-versa, back when all we wore were baggy pants and big T-shirts. Bwahaha :D 

morning view. hanapin ng mabuti ang beach. anjan lang yan sa tabi-tabi.

I had a nice weekend and how I wish everyday's a weekend and I can only do that if I am a landlady of leisure. Ha. I must think of ways to make that dream a reality. Hindi enough ang 18 bottles a day. Haha. 

And on that note, vacation mode pa rin ako. Ang hirap i-start ang momentum. Bah.

kpopping

Since I have been sucked into the Kpop vortex once again, I've been acquainting myself with the new players. I'm way, way behind na cos the Kpop artists I know are BoA, Lee Hyori and Shinhwa and I think they're like the "sunbae" of the Kpop artists now. Although I still think that Kpop circa early 2000 sounds better, it still is addicting. 

So here are my youtube finds- girls with two of my frustrations: perfect noses (albeit already surgically-enhanced) and long legs. Haha. 

Nakakaloka ang legs- super long- leggedness! I'm envious. I don't think I'll ever be a fan of their music although it's pretty catchy. Maybe because I think current artists are too pa-cute, eh alam naman natin ang tunay na kulay ng mga Koreano so medyo lang I don't buy the sweet and innocent image. And man, I want skin like that! 

Grabe, I remember back then I'd download BoA's music videos and buy her concert DVDs so I can dance to her songs or at least try to learn her routine. Haha! One of my regrets is not honing my dancing "talent." Ha. Last time I danced I think was last 2001 for my PE finals. Going back to BoA- I'm still a fan although she isn't that visible now. She's still my ultimate Kpop idol. Kahit 9 pa and SNSD, hindi pa rin nila talo si BoA. Yeba. I miss the old-school Hallyu scene.

girls generation mek you peel da hit :P

I can't get enough of these girls' long legs, haha! That should be me! Tsarot. Haha. Juma-Justin Bieber? But yea, I wish I could dance like that, kahit like these SNSD girls lang, kahit hindi na BoA level. Maganda pang-cheerdance routine ang steps nila ha. 

Pero in fairness, my bets are making a comeback. I was watching TVN earlier today and some of the most popular series/dramas today have my favorite old-school Korean actors- Han Ga-in, Ha Ji Won, Kim Rae Won... Wee :) Happy! Finally, familiar names and faces.

Speaking of Korean dramas, I just finished watching Dream High recently and I really like this young actress, Suzy. She's really pretty and she's actually a good singer. 

That's her in the red polka dot skirt. And she's only 17! Gah, I'm so old :/ I'm like 13 years older than her. I'm a frickin ahjumma. Haha. Ooh, I think that guy in the video was one of my crushes... I still remember those flared nostrils, haha. 

I also have TvN's Kpop Star Hunt to blame. I keep hearing these new Kpop tunes and I thought that they weren't too bad naman pala. Nakakaloka lang kasi one time I was in the mall and I saw this very young girl dancing to Troublemaker, imitating Hyuna's moves. Hindi ba nakakaloka? Sexbomb lang ang peg. Actually, much worse cos she was dancing next to her brother, I suppose, the way Hyuna's dancing next to Hyunseung and that's just wrong. 

Anyway, it's super late already and I have an 8am appointment tomorrow. So toodles, everyone. Til my next Kpop youtube video hopping ;)

endings

Nope, this is not an emo post. It's sort of a sad week for me and my favorite series since most of them are airing or have aired their season finales this week. Though I bet I'll be more productive in the absence of my favorite shows since I'll be spending less time downloading and staring at utorrent, waiting for them to finish.

2 Broke Girls

A serendipitous find on Twitter. I really like Kat Dennings (Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Thor) and I think she is reason enough to watch this series, but I ended up also liking Beth Behrs's character, Caroline Channing. Max Black (Dennings) is just too vulgar for me, IMHO. Oh yes, the prude in me strikes again. Haha.

I enjoy watching this because it is a story of two girls trying to make it in business- somewhat similar to what I am doing, only I am, technically, on my own. Well, it's just we're rooting for them to make it. Plus, it was fun to watch how Max and Caroline's friendship developed.

Max & Caroline in their usual garb...

man, they clean up nice :) i love this episode because Kat Dennings looked so beautiful here

It was a nice season finale although it didn't quite left us hanging, just hoping that Martha will do them good :)

 

New Girl

I first fell in love with Zoey Deschanel's adorkable-ness when I watched 500 Days of Summer and thanks to New Girl, I can watch her adorkable-ness on a weekly basis.

New Girl is always a fun watch, except those with Justin Long in them. This season, I liked how Schmidt ended up with Cece and although my bet, Jess and Nick, didn't happen, I know it eventually will.

 

Hart of Dixie

My favorite of favorites! I know, I know, it's not really what you'd a good drama, story-wise but I love Rachel Bilson and I love the Zoe + Wade + George triangle. Ay, make it a pentagon pala: Zoe- Wade- George- Lemon- Lavon.

Initially, I thought Zoe would be torn among the three- George, Wae and Lavon, but now it's pretty clear that Lavon's role in Zoe's life is like an older brother. And I think the Lavon-Lemon affair is just brilliant, cos it shows Lemon's other side. We all know that Lemon's sort of uptight, self-righteous and goody-goody, but her affair with Lavon shows otherwise. For a small town like Bluebell, they always say that it's impossible to keep a secret so I'm wondering how they were able to keep the affair secret.

George vs. Wade. Personally, I haven't made my mind yet. I like George but I also like Wade. My sister is Team Wade through and through. It's just that if I were Zoe, George is cute, nice, intelligent - he's the complete package!- and just like a shiny, red apple- you just gotta have it. With Wade, he's cute and it's cute how he crushes on Zoe. But really, can you blame Zoe for going for George over Wade? Hindi rin naman ako nasisilaw ng abs eh, haha

ooh, abs ;)

We've kinda sensed the "tension" between Wade and Zoe, it's just that Zoe's too focused on George to notice Wade. But then again Wade already had his chance but he let his chance just pass him by. But really, it's just cute how he's all hurt and jealous over Zoe liking George.

Personally, I think George should've called off the wedding when he found out about Lemon's affair. But since he chose to not go with it only minutes away from the wedding, the burden of proof is on him. And if ever he ends up with Zoe, Zoe will be forever hated for breaking up Bluebell's golden couple. Bluebell will never know that Lemon had an affair with Lavon; they will only know that George broke it off because of Zoe.

masaya si Papa Wade

pero mukhang panalo pa rin si Papa George

Omigaaahd, Zoe, ikaw na!

I love it. I really like George but I don't know if I want them together-together. I think what I like is the SO (secret on) going on, haha. Kawawa nga si Wade but I guess he should have done better with his speech at the barn. Yes, he scored but can he keep the goal?

And oh, it's official- second season for Hart of Dixie's happening :)

to be continued...

days like these

Feeling like this last week pa. My positivity chuva isn't working either. I never thought I'd feel so--- alone. Shet,  nakanangemo ko. Pero promise, I feel shitty.

If I were a cartoon character, I'd be Garfield. Aside from Helga, that is. I think I am a cross between Helga G. Pataki and Garfield. I'm a hostile, fat cat.

This Janis Ian song sort of summarizes how I feel now~

On days like these 

When the rain won't fall

And the sky is so dry

That even birds can't call

I promised myself I'd watch Dawson's Creek all over again... and wallow in self-pity. I DL'd almost every DC song I could find and most of them were emo-ish. Buti na lang hindi umuulan ngayon, kundi perfect condition for sulking na ito. I know this too shall pass... We all have these moments. 

But you can't reap what you don't sow

And you can't plant in fallow ground

So let us fill this empty earth with hope

Until the rains come down

I can make my peace

With days like these

Frakkit. I'll go watch New Girl na nga lang for feel-good vibes. 

kdama: dream high

Hey, I'm on a roll! Meeting up with Jing has definitely ignited once again my Kpop obsession. There's  Dream High in her stash and within a Kpop minute, I'm done with all 16 hours of it.

Dream High reminds me of Fame. Actually, it is Fame, Kpop edition. I have yet to see Fame (both 1980 and 2009 versions) but I think it was about youngsters who were working towards their dream. The story is focused on four characters: Hye-mi, Baek-hee, Jin-guk and Sam-dong.

Hye-mi was trained in classical music and was supposed to attend Juilliard School in New York but due to financial constraints, she was forced to study and train locally in Kirin Art School. She auditioned together with her best friend, Baek-hee, who back then was also her #1 fan and would follow her around everywhere! Because Hye-mi was too proud and too full of herself, she gave off a negative vibe with the admission panel. Although she was undoubtedly talented, she didn't pass the auditions. Baek-hee bargained on behalf of her friend- either both of them go to Kirin or she won't go at all. Hye-mi doesn't feel the same and said some things that hurt Baek-hee. To cut the story short, that was the end of their friendship.

Mr. Kang was supposedly to be fired by the board but Bae Yong Jun's character saved his ass and gave him the responsibility of finding three, very talented kids: Go Hye-mi, Jin-guk and Song Sam-dong. The three belonged to the Half-Admissions Class and were treated differently by the entire Kirin Art School community. I don't know why they're called Half-Admissions Class, but belonging there they were treated as second-class citizens. They weren't allowed to use school facilities and were not given the same privileges and opportunities the other students have.

But with perseverance and determination (at pamamaraan) and a stroke of luck, they were able to hurdle the challenges. And in a year's time, they were all changed, better persons.

What I love about this drama is it starts with a question: Who is K?

Among the 4 lead characters, one of them eventually makes it to Hollywood and is the first Korean singer to win a Grammy. The K pendant was originally Bae Yong Jun's character's then he gave it to Baek-hee as a token or anting-anting to help her in her endeavor of reaching her dream. Then it eventually became a lucky charm that one passes to another who needs it at that time- yes, a la Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

What I also like is the love angle. Of course, hindi mawawala yan. In hindsight, I didn't get too kilig over it. There's just the question of who Hye-mi will choose: Jin-guk or Sam-dong. Personally, I am Team Sam-dong because he's just adorable. I find him adorable. Kahit minsan masungit.

I also like Hye-mi.

Ikaw, sino bet mo?

It was bitin but I like it. I hear there's Dream High 2 but I am not interested.

good read

In our aim to live life to the fullest without spreading oneself too thin, here's an article which I think might be of help.

She is my inspiration

Let's go!
Aja!

RT 2012 book 7: brida

When you find your path, you must not be afraid.

You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes.

Disappointment, defeat and despair are the tools God

uses to show us the way.

This may be the last time I am going to read a book by Paulo Coelho. I say "may be" because who knows, he might write a new novel that is to my liking. So far, I've read 6½ of his books: The Alchemist, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, Like the Flowing River, El Zahir, Eleven Minutes, Brida and the ½ is Veronika Decides to Die which I didn't finish.

The very first Paulo Coelho book I read was The Alchemist and while a lot of people gushed about it, I didn't like it. I was 15 years old at that time and I was spending the summer vacation in the province and that was before the heyday of cable TV and dibidis, so I brought a book with me to pass the time. I struggled reading it and thought it was boring but I saw through it because I learned to be matiyaga with books cos sometimes may redeeming factor in the end (as with Ha Jin's The Waiting). I compare The Alchemist with a Tagalog saying, "sa hinahaba-haba ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy," and do you know the feeling that you're watching this movie then the bida wakes up at the end of the movie and realizes it was all a dream... you feel as if you've been duped, right? That was what I felt after finishing the novel. So here I am 15 years later with my fifth book and after finishing the novel, all I can say was, "Pangit."

Brida is this young woman who is curious about magic, witchcraft, etc. and she seeks the help of the Magus and Wicca. The Magus sees Brida and recognizes (by the light in her eyes, naks! aura ata or something) her as his Soul Mate. When a soul dies daw, it is divided into two: a man and a woman and upon reincarnation, these two parts of the soul are your so-called "Soul Mates." Sometimes, it happens that a person has two soul mates and that is the hardest part- to choose just one.

Brida also reminded me of a Filipino movie, Tatarin, based on a short story, The Summer Solstice, by Nick Joaquin. No, haven't read the short story nor have I seen the movie but I saw the trailer back them when they were promoting the movie and that scene was what came to mind when I was reading about the witches' sabbath chuva, yung may hubad portion.

Yada, yada, yada.

For me, the redeeming factor of the book was the quotable quotes. Haha.

She feared pain, loss and separation. These things were inevitable on the path to love. And the only way of avoiding them was by deciding not to take that path at all. In order not to suffer, you need to renounce it.

And this one reminds me of a Savage Garden song...

And yet no one life is the same as any other life. It might be that we will never meet again, and I need you to know that I've loved you even before I met you. You're part of me.

So parang naiinis ako sa twists and turns (or lack thereof) ng books ni Coelho. Of the 6½ books, I only liked River Piedra and Like the Flowing River (dahil sa quotes). I think I'll be reading River Piedra again to find out exactly why I liked it and what sets it apart from the other Coelho books. My profe in Spanish actually said that Coelho should thank the guy who translates his books to English because it was a good translation, even better than the original. My profe claims that Coelho's books in its original language don't sell as much as the ones translated in English. I dunno how true that is but personally, most of his books are just not my type.

And to end this quasi-review aka bashing, here's another quote:

Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle. You can only know a good one if you have first tasted a bad one.

(And that's why I know Brida is a bad book because I've read so many good ones already :P)

fangirling

Met up with Jing yesterday to return her stash ( Korean series DVDs!). It was hitting two birds na rin with one stone since I had some errands to run then I could meet up with Jing after.

Omigosh, it feels so good to be able to talk to someone who can understand what your saying. Jing and I are both Korean entertainment fans. Well, I'm not really that hardcore anymore as I was 7 years ago, while she is still at the height of her fandom, haha. Sabi nga niya, old school yung mga gusto ko na music at artists. 

We talked for two hours about our favorite series and bands and singers. Omigosh, fangirling much? Haha. Siempre I shared with her some of my favorite dramas which I think she should see. Most of those dramas were from 7-8 years ago, yung iba nga nag-suicide na yung mga bida, but she must see them! 

Like Phoenix/ Firebird (Bul Sae), for example~

Lee Eun-joo has been dead for seven years now but man, I still recommend this series to anyone who likes Korean dramas. I'm not a fan of heavy dramas but I swear this one is super duper good. Saw this one eons ago but I can still remember my favorite scene: when psychotic Mi-ran held Sae-hoon hostage and she was lamenting on how she loves him so much. Mi-ran threw something into the aquarium which shattered it into thousands of glass shards, then Mi-ran walked on the shards and told Sae-hoon, "You think this hurts? This is nothing compared to what my heart is feeling right now," or something to that effect. Ouch. Ahlavet. Others found that scene scary but I just find it beautiful. Maybe I really am psychotic. Ha. 

So that was just one of the dramas I recommended for her to watch. She also recommended a lot of dramas for me to see: Brilliant Legacy (Shining Inheritance), The Greatest Love, Rooftop Prince and The Moon that Embraces the Sun. I'm not too fond of period dramas but maybe I'll give it a try. I'm watching Dream High now and I'm on the last two episodes already. Gaaahd, I watch too much TV talaga. 

I'm missing my old-school dramas (Winter Sonata, FTW!) and laslas-pulso music

Staiway to Heaven's Bogoshipda. Omigaahd, I can sing to this song with feelings pa~ Joogeul mankeum bogoshipda ( I miss you to death)!!! I love love love this song ♥ 

Bae Yong-joon circa 2000 kopong-kopong... with less "enhancements." Never found Bae Yong-joon gwapo unlike my AB but I think she likes BYJ because he's "ma-ugat." Haha. 

I swear yang amnesia na yan dapat nang i-ban! Ilang drama series na may amnesia ang bida pero sa totoong buhay, ilang tao ba ang kilala mong may amnesia? Pero in fernez, ngayon may (semi) kilala na akong may amnesia. At may Ye Sha pa daw. Kaloka.
