Oh! K! (via The Frustrated Artist)

This one made me laugh!

The Korean Fever strikes our town! A Korean cultural presentation is being held at our town’s auditorium. This afternoon, some Koreans went around the market to promote the event. They were distributing flyers. Mom was waving and shouting “Ajhumma!” at them. I laughed and told her “Mom! You’re calling them auntie!”. This one guy gave us a flyer. Then mom went “Otteokhajyo!? Otteokhajyo!?”* (mom got this from You’re Beautiful). The guy who gave us … Read More

Forty Days: Day 28

I saw this video in The Frustrated Artist’s blog. It’s called “You’re So Hot” by XLR8. Ppop, eh?

So what can I say? This is totally un-hot for me. I could’ve appreciated it more if they’ve come up with something original, not like this one which sounds like Super Junior’s “Sorry, Sorry” and “Super Girl” combined.

I’m already contented with the state of Filipino music right now, that with Sarah Geronimo, Erik Santos, Christian Bautista, Charice, etc. I’m a fan of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) actually. But Ppop? If the video above is an example of how you define Ppop, then NO! Sorry, I’m not a fan.

Forty Days: Day 17

How do you picture a world without adjectives?

Boring, dull, plain… name it. Even describing it would require a lot of adjectives.

In a world without adjectives, how do I say I’m lonely? Or that I’m quite depressed today? Or that F.T. Island’s Lee Jaejin looked good on “Showtime” this morning?

In a world without adjectives, how do I say I’m lucky? That I have a wonderful mom and a brother who’s got a great sense of humor?

In a world without adjectives, how do I say my friends are awesome? Or that Kimmy is really fun to chat with, or that The Frustrated Artist is amazing?

In a world without adjectives, how do I say that life is beautiful? Or that God is perfect?

It’s just not possible. Even my name has an adjective.

Forty Days: Day 1

The day started when I woke up from a dream about cretinism. I was a teacher in my dream and all my students had cretinism. FYI, cretinism is a form of hypothyroidism in children which results to the retardation of their physical and mental growth. Also, cretinism was one of our topics yesterday in our FPGEE review, so maybe that’s why I dreamed of it.

Today, as everyone may know, is Ash Wednesday, and the first day of the forty days of Lent. While in the church this afternoon, I was thinking of something to do for the next forty days (this day, included). I remember when I was in 6th grade, I didn’t use my Walkman (there was no iPod yet) for the entire period of Lent. That was my Lenten sacrifice. When I was in 1st year of college, I read Rick Warren’s “Purpose Driven Life.” The book had forty chapters so I read one chapter each day during the entire forty days. Today, I think I’ll just post a blog entry everyday. For forty days. No specific topic needed. I’ll just write whatever enters my head, get back to them forty days later, and see how much a changed person I’ve become.

So I mentioned earlier that I’m attending an FPGEE review. I was so hesitant to enroll at first because I’d rather study by myself at home. Besides, the tuition fee was a bit high. I still didn’t give in even when my mom insisted me. I only changed my mind last Saturday when the college secretary showed us our grades in Pathophysiology. My grade was 93. And that was the highest.

I suddenly thought of what The Frustrated Artist told me, that I should keep doing what I do best. It was like saying that just being good at something is not enough. I should further develop my skills and be an expert in my career. After realizing these things, I immediately went to the dean’s office and told her I’d enroll. Today, I’m just thankful that I’ve made the right decision. We just started last Monday and I can already say now that I’m a changed person.

Omona!!! (Draft)

Oh my gosh!!!

Manila. April 10, 2010.

Super Junior is coming to the Philippines!

My gosh! I.. I feel.. I am so.. I.. How do I put this?

Shiet! I’m speechless.

***

Kimmy just confirmed it. They really are coming! They’re going to visit Manila as part of their Super Show 2 Tour (Manila Bulletin). I’ve really been expecting this since their album had reached gold status in the Philippines last year but I was still surprised when Kimmy texted me. My gosh! I still couldn’t believe I’m gonna meet them this soon. How I wish I could hug Kyuhyun! Actually, I’m already devising a plan. I’m gonna bake cookies and give them to him. Or I’m gonna make a huge placard with his name and picture. Kyuhyun!! ♥

So that was the draft I saved last night. I should be publishing it right now, but the excitement is over. Thanks so much to the concert’s organizers for pricing the tickets that high. My mom didn’t allow me to attend it. :’(

Sighs. I really wanted to see them. Anyway, The Frustrated Artist gave me a very brilliant idea! So… violin, anyone? For only 2,000 Php, buy now! Please!!!
