<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">2014 was the year of Kim Soo Hyun and the comeback of Jeon Ji Hyun. Would you agree?</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To top my list, it is the Korean Drama: <b>YOU WHO CAME FROM THE STARS.</b></span><br>
<br>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Honestly, when this aired in 2013, I really had no intention of watching it probably because the poster came out dark and boring. I wasn't able to recognize Jeon Ji Hyun, (Kill me now..) and with all honesty too, I don't know Kim Soo Hyun back then.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Okay, okay. I am a Korean Drama fan but I really don't know all the stars! I can only name a few, bummer.</i></span><br>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>This
was aired in 2013-2014 but I only got the chance to watch it DECEMBER
2014 right after Christmas. Such a lame fan. Some of you might be
wondering why.</i></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I
played episode 1 for more than 5x! Either I fell asleep or I find it so
boring but right after Christmas, I found myself bored even more so I
gave the series a chance, <b>my 6th attempt</b>. And with all honesty, from
episode 2 to 21, I haven't slept for more than 4 hours! I got hooked and
fell in love over and over again.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>YOU WHO CAME FROM THE STARS </b>starred <b>Kim Soo Hyun</b> and<b> Jeon Ji Hyun</b>. If you are familiar with My Sassy Girl, the most popular movie back in 2001 where my fantasy for Korean flicks began, she's that Sassy Girl. She also starred in the movie Il Mare, which already has the Western counterpart of Lake House. She's that popular huh! Anyway, Kim Soo Hyun on the other hand debuted in Dream High, year 2011 where his role was a laid back farm boy. Soon after, he became King "something" in the drama Moon Embraces the Sun. I wasn't able to watch the "Moon..." because it seems to be so periodic for me. But after seeing him in YWCFTS, I might give it a try! He is such a darling!</span></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>YOU WHO CAME FROM THE STARS </b>is not your typical drama. </span></span><br>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The casts:</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Do Min Joon </b>played by Kim Soo Hyun is an ALIEN! What, an alien?! Yes, really.</span></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Cheon Song Yi</b> played by Jeon Ji Hyun / Gianna Jun / Jun Ji Hyun is a top-billed artist at her peak.</span></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Lee Hi Kyung</b> played by Park Hae Jin is the son of S&C group and has a big love for Cheon Song Yi.</span></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Yoo Se Mi</b> played by Yoo In Na is Cheon Song Yi's friend and a secret admirer of Lee Hi Kyung</span></span><br>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let's begin. Let's do this!</span></span><br>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you still haven't seen it, well, you're missing a half of your Korean Drama experience! </span></span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Do Min Joon is again, an alien who have lived on earth for 400 years. He changes his identity every ten years because his physical appearance never changes over the past 400 years that he was been living on earth. He became a banker, lawyer, doctor, military, meteorologist and in the present time, a professor. The story between him and Cheon Song Yi started on his last 3 months on earth.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Cheon Song Yi is loud, playful, not really a smart ass talent but she's popular, pretty, talented and hailed the billboards of Korea. They were neighbors but not the typical kind. On their first meeting, Cheon Song Yi had a smirk on her face thinking that Do Min Joon was a pervert. If you have seen this, this is really a funny scene! Anyway, Cheon Song Yi always get into trouble and intrigues because of her personality. And that's when the cutest alien living on earth came in.. <i><b>to the rescue!</b></i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the every end of the drama episode, there's a little portion wherein Do Min Joon tells his story like a diary. He's the cutest.</span></i></span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Do Min Joon's character although in denial has so much love for Cheon Song Yi! Even though he seems too cold over Cheon Song Yi, he is always there to rescue her whether directly or indirectly. This guy showed too much compassion even on screen that even the viewers make it so difficult to resist, how much more for Cheon Song Yi?!</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This drama will make you fall in love. Definitely! </span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Overall, no wonder it was the hottest drama for 2014. It ranked up in its ratings. The story is out of the ordinary, the lines are hard to resist, the sequence is just so perfect and the drama itself talks so much sense. The acting of Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun came out so natural, it's like your watching them from your seat and not from the screen.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span>

Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo is probably the most popular love team of this generation. I don't mind if they are real sweethearts or not but all I know they have this great chemistry on screen. Let's just don't deny the fact that we even get "kilig" when Daniel Padilla starts staring at Kathryn Bernardo as if he's going to eat her up. These two kids are really making the hearts of many Filipinos especially the teens fall for their on and off screen drama love affair.<br />

Honestly, I, myself got hit by that "magic" in their new soap, Got To Believe. I believe it's their third week now, not sure though. But I'm sure that I haven't skipped an episode of it. The storyline is interesting and everyone can relate just like BCWMH. It depicts a typical Filipino Family who wishes nothing but the good for their children. Ian Veneracion and Carmina Villaroel plays the role of Joaquin's (Daniel Padilla) protective parents while Manilyn Reynes and Benjie Paras is playing the fun and bubbly parents of Chichay (Kathryn Bernardo).<br />
<br />
Ahem. "Papa Bear" / "Mama Bear"? Can relate? LOL.<br />
<br />
Chichay can be sometimes irritating. I get affected every time she have done something to get Joaquin scolded at. Haha. I also get annoyed with Joaquin when he looks at Kathryn with so much hatred. I hate these kids for making my head hurt. Yes, sometimes.<br />
<br />
The Teen Kilig Factor. It's obvious. Who doesn't have crushes waaay back high school and college? If you
don't have, bet you're such a geek who kisses his books and skips lunch
just to score an A. *oops, bully me*<br />

<b>My first review on Got To Believe:</b><br />
<br />
Although it's pretty clear what will happen in the story, still, it brings back a youthful joy to the viewers. I love the sequence, how it was choreographed, the cast, the plot, location set and just about everything. Filipinos are tired of watching heavy drama that would give you stress before sleeping. Viewers want something fresh and a unique kind of drama that would make them laugh, smile and have a good night sleep after a long day from school and work. <br />
<br />
Anyway, let the magic continues.... as Joaquin and Chichay goes to the same college. *excited*<br />
<br />
How about you, we're you hit by the KathNiel Magic on Got To Believe? Well, I guess I just have to sing..

<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The story evolved on the lives of an in-cell triggerman, top corrupt/self-centered officials in the country, loyal policeman and an NBI agent torn between "katarungan and kagaguhan." The characters were portrayed by Sir Joel Torre as Tatang, the PRO hitman, Gerald Anderson as Daniel, the hitman's apprentice, Piolo Pascual as Atty. Francisco Coronel, the NBI agent, Leo Martinez as General Pacheco and Joey Marquez as SPO1 Acosta.</div>
<div>
Sir Joel Torre (Tatang) and Gerald Anderson (Daniel) are being paid to kill. That's their job. They are hired by a certain person named "Mam Thelma." She's the middle person who takes in charge in knocking down the people who gets in between the operations of her boss' boss. Being "On The Job" for Tatang is just for the sake of bringing food on the table back at their home, he showed no mercy everytime he shots his victim, thinking that every bullet that comes out of the barrel is a decent life for his family. As what he often says to his apprentice in the film, "Ito, trabaho lang." Daniel who started as a backup or lookout is Tatang's apprentice, an ambitious, young hotshot guy, however, he is being trained to become a hitman once Tatang "retires" or once he gets his parole. Both of them are prisoners in a city jail. They are being pulled out from the cell whenever they have an operation. On The Job will show you the truth behind bars but will also depict the screaming reality on what our beloved elected legislators and highly respected officials do outside their main lines.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
There will always be one good egg in a tray of spoiled eggs. This is what the character of Atty. Francis Coronel (married to Nikki played by Shaina Magdayao) is trying to portray, an NBI agent, who happens to be the son-in-law of a filthy congressman who's in allies with Gen. Pacheco. Pacheco is said to be the man on top of the killing operations done by Tatang and Daniel. On his verge of becoming good in his craft and to prove that there is still hope in becoming truthful to what he believed in, he clashes with the different personalities with big names in the government, to the point that he is battling against his own father-in-law.<br>
<br>
SPO1 Acosta (Joey Marquez) is a lowlife policeman who looks at his job with so much pride. His more than 30 years in service (as quoted in the film), is a proof that being in service to the PNP is supposedly a noble job. Oh well. However, things weren't as smooth for him like missing out a promotion because he's not a puppet of his boss and there's a good friend being dragged to killing cases.</div>
<div>
<br>

<br></div>
<div>
On The Job is by far the best action thriller movie of this generation. In this generation wherein we got used to Horror, Romantic Flicks and Flashy Comedy, this is a good start for an Action Thriller to be back in pace. The scenes were greatly choreographed. I got lost in a whirlwind of emotions especially in the hospital scene and when Atty. Francis Coronel was getting out of his car. I just didn't expect things to turn out that way, which is indeed something "new" for a Filipino movie. The main setting of the movie also took place in the sub-areas of Manila where you are able to witness and fully absorb the screaming reality of poverty and criminality. I hate to admit this, but OTJ revealed the truth we're facing today.<br>
<br>
I commend Sir Joel Torre for always being at his best, if there's a word "bestest," then I may use it to describe how great he was in this movie. He only showed the viewers and his co-actors how beautiful it is to become a Filipino actor. Gerald Anderson on the other hand is amazing. You will be surprised as he shows his "astig" side on this film, a very different trait as to what we see in his previous movies. After seeing OTJ, there's more to Gerald than what meets the eye. I'm also glad to see Joey Marquez back on silver screen. The role of an upright policeman fitted him right. He carries this serious yet funny character. Surprisingly in this nitty-gritty film, he did it so well. Then we have Piolo Pascual as the NBI agent. He played his character very well although he's being overshadowed by the characters of Joel Torre and Gerald, I think that was enough proof that these days, "talo ng matitinik and mababait."</div>
<div>
<br></div>
For me, On The Job is not just a movie, it's an experience. <i>Napakahusay</i>!<br>
<br>
Congratulations to the whole team for crafting a film as wonderful as this.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267708092459377066.post-66784287446922118732013-08-21T19:55:00.000-07:002013-08-27T19:00:08.036-07:00K-drama: Gu Family Book / The Love Story of Kang ChiI was told by my friend to watch the <b>Gu Family Book</b> a month ago but I got hesitant because I'm not really a fan of Time Travel Drama <i>(except for Rooftop Prince and Sungkyunwan Scandal). </i>I also don't know the lead stars <i>(okay, Lee Seung Ki and Suzy fans - kill me now!)</i> so I didn't bother to watch but just two weeks ago, I decided to give it a try since I ran out of dramas to watch. <br />

<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>The Beginning</u></b><br />
<br />
From episodes 1-3, I didn't blink an eye (weh!). The first part of the series was about Kang Chi's history. It showed the love story of his parents Wol Ryung (divine creature/Gumiho) and Seo Hwa (human) and how they were separated by fear and hesitations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Wol Ryung a divine creature (protector of the rivers and mountains in the forest) fell in love with Seo Hwa, the daughter of a businessman who was killed by Lord Bi Jo (later known as Jo Gwan-Woong) to obtain his wealth and properties. Seo Hwa's oroignal fate was to become a gisaeng but Wol Ryung saved her but Seo Hwa didn't know that Wol Ryung is a gumiho. <b>She was saved and eventually fell in love with Wol Ryung, got married and got pregnant.</b> Wol Ryung really loved Seo Hwa that he even wanted to become a human with the help of the Gu Family Book. The test in order for Wol Ryung to become a human is to pray for 100 days, should not help/save anyone who needs his help and should not reveal to any human being that he is a divine creature. Well he did the 90 days successfully but the final 10 days was a failure...<br />

The happy marriage they shared for a few months turned into something tragic. Seo Hwa was captured by villains (Lord Bi Jo's team) and as Wol Ryung tried saving her, it was also then revealed that he was a divine creature (which is supposedly not to happen). To Seo Hwa's surprise, she was scared and ran away from Wol Ryung. <i>To cut the story short,</i> Seo Hwa surrendered her love for Wol Ryung because of fear and anger and reported it to the authorities and Wol Ryung got killed by then military head, <i>Dam Pyeong-Joon </i>only to realize how much she loved him despite of that -- what can we, it's too late! Months later, she gave birth to a boy and was abandoned in the river.<br />

So Jung, a monk (best friend of Wol Ryung) told Lord Park to take care of the baby and adopt him as this child will bring luck and fortune to their business which is at that time not doing any good. So Jung also gave Kang Chi a bracelet and told Lord Park not to remove it until he reaches the age of 20. This bracelet will be Kang Chi's protection that would hide his real identity of being a half divine creature and half human.<br />

<b>Kang Chi </b>is loved by so many. He's a savior of the weak and abused, a good son to his adoptive father, Choi who's a servant to Lord Park. He's a happy go lucky kind of guy who has a warm heart for everyone. And even though he was not a biological son of Lord Park, he was treated as one.<br />
<br />
Everything was doing well at the Hundred Year Inn until Jo Gwan-Woong decided to acquire Lord Park's business. Jo Gwan-Woong planned to also kill Lord Park but since Kang Chi promised to do everything to protect his loved one and the Hundred Year Inn, he was the one who faced Jo Gwan-Woong upfront. It was then when the real story of Kang Chi began, when Lord Park got killed while we was trying to protect Kang Chi.<br />

Kang Chi, Lord Park's family and the family at the Hundred Year Inn felt low when Park Moo Sol died, he wanted revenge, he wanted to take what originally belonged to Lord Park and to the Hundred Year Inn. Later on, he also then realized that he wasn't an ordinary human being, that he was something even more special.<br />

<b>Gu Family book</b> is really entertaining. You will fall in love with love more than a hundred times, will eventually fall for Kang Chi's killer smile, be lost in a whirlwind of emotions - hate Jo Gwan-Woong and want to stab him million times, fear death and will admire the strength, goodness and determination of all the characters.<br />

My favorite character will of course be Choi Kang Chi and Dam Yeo-Wool. They are my favorite on-screen couple now, their love isn't developed in a matter of seconds unlike other drama series, it was a progressive love story that ended up to be a real one. The strength they draw from each other made me realize that love like this is just once in a lifetime. They are willing to save each other even though it means dying.<br />

I smiled a lot, got really scared when they were using their bow and arrows, fell head over heels for their love story and cried for the heart breaking scenes which almost lead them to death. They also had the best kissing scene ever, it's so passionate that you would really think that they were real couples in real life. Arghhh, sweetness overload.<br />

<b>Negative note:</b><br />
<br />
<u>On Jo Gwan-Woong:</u><br />
<br />
I just don't like Jo Gwan-Woong getting killed too long! I think I
developed too much hatred on him until the episode 24, imagine being
there from beginning to end. They should have shortened it or at least 15 episodes and added new villains as effective as him. He is so damn annoying! Hehe!<br />
<br />
<u>Gu Family Book related stuff </u><br />
<br />
I think they have missed so much on this. The title is Gu Family book, but what happened to it? It got lost after the few last episodes, there's no conclusion to it. <i>Sayang! </i>Although a good conclusion to this was it wasn't that successful because even in the modern times, he couldn't resist helping and saving others.<i><br /></i><br />
<br />
<u>Ending </u><i></i><br />
<br />
It had a beautiful ending but not too convincing, I guess you should watch it yourself, it could have been better if they had a happily ever after. <br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>Positive note:</b><br />
<br />
24 episodes with a running time of 45mins will never be a waste. The story of the Gu Family Book will teach you so many things about love and life in general. The OST of the drama also made a mark in my head, argh!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Oh well, I just wish it had a Part Two! It's so good that I got addicted to it. LOL. Definitely, it's not boring!!! I think my standards for a Korean Drama just increased because of the good effect of the Love of Story of Kang Chi brought me! I don't want it to end. LOL!</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Favorite Quotations form Gu Family Book</b><br />
<br />
“I’ve seen numerous people born as humans, but act less than animals. What makes you human is not your birth, but what you hold dear in your heart.” - Admiral Lee Soon Shin<br />
<br />
“Whether you’re half human or not, she may not care about your outer
appearance. No matter how your eyes and face change, you’re still Choi
Kang Chi inside.” -Yeo Wool <br />
<br />
“The ones you love the most are always the ones that hurt you the most. You get hurt because you love and care about them.” -Admiral Lee Soon Shin<br />
<br />
“A man needs a friend to share goals with… A woman to share his heart with… A nation to serve with all his heart. That’s the best life one can live.” -Admiral Lee Soon Shin-<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
“Living your life only to get acknowledged by others, that’s hypocrisy.” -Admiral Lee Soon Shin<br />
<i>“The weight of trust is the weight of one’s relationship. If you
want to be trusted, first learn how to get along with others.” -Admiral

<br />
Here are some of the Best Korean Movies I enjoyed watching:<br />
<b><br />
</b><b>1. Sassy Girl</b><br />
<br />
Who will ever forget the movie, My Sassy Girl. Way back in the early 2000, this movie made a big fuss in our school. If I remember it right, this was the highest grossing Korean film of all time. It has a simple yet entertaining plot that would drown you into tears but will make you laugh all along.<br />

<b>2. iL Mare</b><br />
<br />
Goosebumps, heart pounding and heart warming, these are the words that best describes Il Mare. The main characters both live there two years apart in time, but are able to communicate through a mysterious mailbox. I salute the writer and director for coming up with a story as beautiful as this.<br />
<br />
Hint: Hollywood made a remake of this entitled "The Lake House."<br />

<b>3. The Classic</b><br />
<br />
If you are looking for a movie that would pinch you deeply in your heart, you got to see this. It may be a lengthy film but for sure, it won't leave your eyes dry. This is the kind of story that when it's meant to be, then it is really meant to happen. This is indeed a masterpiece.<br />

<b>4. A Moment to Remember</b><br />
<br />
Waaaah! Watched this on PC (way back) and I can't recall how many times my tears fell. Haha! This movie is a killer. It had a beautiful story that would crush you into pieces. I swear. From friendship to love to an incurable sickness and memory loss. It really sucks but worth every minute of your time. This is probably one of my favorites!<br />

After being dumped by her boyfriend just before their 100 day anniversary, Ha-Young (Ha Ji-Won) meets a college guy named Hyung-Joon when she kicks a can that accidentally hits him in the face and causes him to scratch his Lexus. He demands she pay him $3000 on the spot. She escapes from him, leaving her wallet behind. (Wikipedia)<br />

<b>7. Heaven's Postman</b><br />

Jae-joon used to be a promising young CEO of an IT company, until he unexpectedly becomes a postman. He delivers the letters grieving people have written, to their loved ones in heaven. Somehow it's weird but could still be entertaining. Jaejoong *__*<br />

<b>8. Baby and Me</b><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">Baek Sung Jo is a cool geek. He's a walking encyclopedia who knows almost all sorts of stuff except his own feelings. *cheesy* On the other hand, Oh Ha Ni is a go-getter but poor in academics, she knows what she wants and she knows that she's really into Baek Sung Jo. What do you think, does opposite really attracts? Hmm.</span></span></span></span></div>

She follows him on school and even wrote a love letter. But Baek Sung Jo, the-hard-to-get-rich-smart-guy is a sucker for a lousy and no-brainer Oh Ha Ni. Until one day, both of them were caught in a situation that they both couldn't escape, it was when Oh Ha Ni and her father was forced to live with his friend (Oh Ha Ni's dad) since their house was wrecked by an earthquake. Look at how fate made them closer, the best friend of his dad was Baek Sung Jo's dad. WHAT A SMALL WORLD. A happy small world for Ha Ni while a disastrous small world for Baek Sung Jo. Watch it yourself and see how these two different worlds collide!</span></span></span></span></div>

Kiss </b>is surprisingly entertaining, sweet and filled with unexpected
excitement. It may have light moments but not considered as dull. The
characters played by Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min were portrayed well.
I didn't even expect that they would have this strong chemistry on
screen. I love them really! I laughed a lot, got lost in a whirlwind of emotions, smiled and cried. I played rewind a couple of times for that episode below, oh my! Baek Sung Jo is so sweet, cool and gaaaah, makes me crazy!</span></span></span></span></div>

Are you ready for the beach? I am!! :)<br />
<br />
I always hoard swimsuits but this one is my favorite. It makes me look sexy! You know, stripes can hide those unwanted flabs. Anyway, this isn't a review on my beach preparedness, this is all about protecting your skin against Mr. Sun.<br />
<br />
Etude House is not just your ordinary cosmetic hub, they have sun blocks too and other products for skin protection.<br />
<br />
What I have here is the <b>Etude House Sun Guard Aqua Drop with SPF 33</b>. Let me give you some idea on why you should have this not only during summer but throughout the year. It's a must-have, I must say.<br />

Oops, sorry. But the <b>Etude House Sun Guard Aqua Drop with SPF 33 </b>proved me wrong. It's not sticky, it smells good and most of all, it doesn't give you that oily skin throughout the day. Well, that's for me, I don't know with other users. Maybe because it's water-based so I wasn't able to experience the icky feeling.<br />
<br />
By reading it's literature, it says it's a moisturizing sun cream. True to it's name, yes.<br />
<br />
Application:<br />
Apply sun guard to sun exposed areas of the face/body and massage into skin.<br />
<br />
Very simple, right? :)<br />
<br />
What are you waiting for, hurry to your nearest Etude House outlet and hoard stuff like these. It's helpful and most of all, it keeps you protected from the sun all-day-long.<br />
<br />

Feast your eyes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have watched this Kdrama (2012) once (just yet) but I
waited patiently for every episode. Talk about waiting for uploads from
our fellow Korean Drama addicts every after it was being aired in Korea.
It's worth the sleepless nights and worth the stress of waiting for it
to buff in <i>YouTube or Daily Motion. </i>I am talking about the<b> To The Beautiful You</b>.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>To The Beautiful You</b> is Korea's
adaptation to Japan's Hanazakari no Kimitachi e and Taiwan's Hana Kim.
It stars two of Etude House's beloved endorsers, Sulli and Minho.
I never thought there would be a connection with the two artists since
they both excel in their own fields as singers of famous Korean singing
groups. <i>Sulli </i>from f(x) while <i>Minho </i>is from Shinee.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To begin with, <b>To The Beautiful You</b> is predictable as expected. Of course, it's a remake, what can we expect. But just being honest, it still gives me this kind of excitement. I still see to it that I don't miss any of its episode. Minho and Sulli has this connection that thrills the <i>teenage soul </i>in me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The characters played by these famous artists are perfect for them. Choi Minho has an image of being so prim and proper, so he's perfect to be Kang Tae-Joon, strict, straightforward but at the same time, charming. Sulli on the other hand played Gu Jae-Hee, bubbly, friendly, cute and always wear a smile on her face. Cha Eun-Gyeol then was the clown in the series, I love his character! We all do, I know!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kang Tae-Joon is a famous high jump athlete in Korea but he was caught in an accident that made him stop his sport. Gu Jae-Hee on the other hand is a fan girl from America who was inspired by Tae-Joon to become better and to excel. As a fan, she really wanted to see Tae-Joon jump again. She always believe that Kang Tae-Joon can do it again because he has this dreams and the willpower. She flew to Korea and did what she had planned but since Tae-Joon is enrolled in an all-boys school, Jae-Hee pretended to be a boy. Lucky for Jae-Hee, she got in the school and was able to share the dorm with Tae-Joon, his inspiration. There, the story of </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>To The Beautiful You </b>began.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Review</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. The story of </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>To The Beautiful You</b></span> is again, predictable. It is not new but it came with some twists. The delivery of the story was cute and entertaining in general. Choi Minho is too cute not to notice and Sulli made a perfect pair with him for the remake. Their eyes say a lot whenever they exchange those heavy lines. It's a feel good kind of drama, too much hatred is not welcome. However, the ending was a bit off. I mean, there's a happy ending but it doesn't look like a Korean kind of drama for its end. Just see for yourself, I almost skipped that because it somehow ruined my whole feel for the drama.*insert puss-in-boots face*</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. The </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>To The Beautiful You </b></span>OST were awesome. Of course, both of them were from SM Entertainment so we will expect nothing but the finest music. Bias. Hihi. My favorite goes to Sunny and Luna for <b>It's Me</b> and I guess, ALL. The music played in the episodes just perfectly match, ahh. Music to my ears!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. There's nothing to hate about </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>To The Beautiful You. </b>It will make you fall in love a thousand times and will make you remember those *puppy love* days. *insert puppy eyes*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. All the cast did a great job for the drama. It's light, it's for the teens and teens at heart. You will enjoy the scenes and smile a lot throughout.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For those who think twice in giving this drama a look, don't. You may not LOVE it but for sure, you will LIKE it. Isn't it relaxing to watch some dramas that doesn't make your eyes popped because of too much tears? :) Honestly, while I am writing this review, I am also listening to the OST, it makes me want to watch it AGAIIIN. <i>Nostalgia</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">From the greeting above, you already know what to expect from this blog entry. *fan girl wave* I've been wanting to write about my favorite Korean drama series and movies but I couldn't squeeze in a lengthy review. You know, I wanted to write soooo much about it so I need hours to do this! LET'S GO, LET'S GET IT ON! <b>AJA AJA, FIGHTING! </b>*eyes on my co-fan girls*</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Being a fan girl of Korean drama series and movies didn't began just like that. Way back the late 90's when the gorgeous men of F4 or better known as the Meteor Garden (Taiwan) hailed the national television here in the Philippines, almost every household couldn't resist the asian telenovela craze. Wuhoo! I was in highschool back then when the Asianovela Craze started. From there, other Asian countries shared their home-grown talents in other neighboring countries, especially to the Philippines.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This entry post may include drama series from other countries that left a strong impact in my heart. Heart <i>talaga</i>? Haha! And definitely, no particular order. I will be posting a review for each or probably things that I can remember about the series. Some dramas were watched like a long time ago so my memory will not be as good anymore but I will do my best to do a writeup that would give justice to the films. Haha! Comments, suggestions and violent reactions are always welcome.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rain and Song Hye Kyo really touched the heart of so many with this masterpiece. It's a cat and dog film who always ends up fighting, arguing and hurting each other's feelings but behind those petty fights is an in denial love waiting to be uncovered. Full House will be a forever favorite. I even watched this more than three times and still, it didn't fail to make me laugh. Good times, indeed! This was first aired in the Philippines by the GMA Network, and years later they made a Philippine version of this. Pretty good but still, nothing beats the original.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The OST of Full House was also amazing. Until now, I've been keeping them in my playlist in my music player and phone. It always reminds me the wonderful storyline of the series. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The epitome of beauty and being handsome during those days was the Prince and Princesses of the Princess Hours. Admit it, you wanted to have that life sized bear that Ju Ji-Hoon gave to Yoon Eun-Hye. Eun-Hye played the role of an ordinary girl who became a princess. The story of the Princess Hours won't break your heart until the 14th or 16th episode, so prepare yourself for a good laugh in the early to the not-so-later episodes. You will fall in love with the characters over and over again and somewhere in the middle, you will wish you were Shin Chae-kyeong. Haha! I can still remember back in college when me and my classmates discuss the episodes during class, fan girls!! :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Same with Full House, Princess Hours do have a beautiful soundtrack. Super love!! Enjoy!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Honestly, I couldn't even remember how many times I've seen this drama. You're Beautiful is generally beautiful. The casts, their on-screen characters, the story -- everything! It is just so perfect. At first, I was really hesitant to watch this maybe because Jang Geun Suk looked gay or some sort of whatever but when I have survived half of the first episode, I just couldn't help it, I think I have finished it in one day. OMG. The boyband AN.Jell was a phenomenal band, the story actually revolved around them. Well, your eyes are on feast while watching this. A lot of the scenes will make you laugh, fall in love and would break your heart. Every episode is worth watching.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is definitely one of my favorite dramas of all time! </span></span><br />

</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The happy scenes are just <b>irresistible</b>. From the bodyguards to the love team, it was full of passion, love and excitement. Nonetheless, I enjoyed watching it and I hope you would too if you haven't seen it yet. I can guarantee that after watching the whole series, you would feel like watching it all over again (like I did).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, Rooftop Prince is definitely a must-see Korean Drama!!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Another Yoon Eun-Hye series. What is not to love about her? This is actually the first series that I saw her with that short hair. I laughed a lot and cried a little. Coffee Prince was sort of a feel-good drama for everyone to see. It's light yet brings out the strong character of each cast. By just looking at it, if you haven't still watched it, you will be thinking that it is an another-gay-flick, but no, there's more to it than meets the eye! Another thing is Gong Yoo is love.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cheers for the brilliant actor named Lee Min Ho. I can't deny it, I'm a major fan. Hehe! Btw, I have watched almost all of his series/movies except for Faith. Anyway, this is yet another masterpiece. Personal Taste (Korean Title) is sweet, undeniably charming and packed with surprises. I love the transition! I love the roles of the characters, Lee Min Ho being an Architect (and a trying hard gay) and Son Ye Jin as a furniture maker. I love series which is related to the arts and crafts. Although there are parts of the story that is a bit too slow, well, that's pretty normal for a Korean drama. Overall, both actors were pleasing to the eyes, no dull moments!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sorry, this isn't a Korean drama rather it's a Taiwanese series set in Shanghai. I had really no plans of watching this before but out of boredom, I did. Well, I'm just happy I got bored because I was able to see a funny drama with lots of twists. Show Lou and Barbie Hsu (San Chai in Meteor Garden) starred in this romantic comedy. The usual, Barbie was rich and Show was poor. The love didn't develop that fast, it was slowly but surely (as they say) but despite the slow transition of the story, the love was worth it. Corner with Love was hilarious, weird yet lovable and nonetheless, worth watching.</span></span><br />

At first, I was really hesitant to watch this movie thinking that it would creep me out, since I hate horror flicks. But when my boyfriend told me that it's quite intriguing as seen on the trailer and also when a good friend of mine said that it was full of humor, it actually changed my mind. And who would thought that I would line up in the ticket booth just to get us some tickets! Nahhh :)<br />
<br />
<br />
I will try my best to give a decent review on this movie since all I can remember are the cheesy lines being thrown by the characters. Haha.<br />
<br />
<b>On the Characters:</b><br />

They are the main characters of the story. R who doesn't remember his name preferred being called R and Julie on the normal side of life, is named as that, yes, Julie. Both of them are strangers. R is a corpse (again, yes, a corpse) being caged on the other side of the world by a humungous wall built by Julie's dad to separate the contamination, infection and all the negativity corpses give to the human kind. Julie is a ghost buster type of girl. She wanted to go beyond her limits and loves to use guns to protect their man kind from the people/corpses like R. Well, she's strong, determined, killer-of-corpses by heart but affectionate. <i>Awww</i>. While R got no emotions, lifeless in general and doesn't even know why he's there. I mean, of course, he's a corpse for God's sake!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Story:</b><br />

I just heard in the movie about the Apocalypse. Maybe because they were contaminated by some radioactive that caused them to be that way. I don't know. <i>Sorry!</i> Anyway, when Julie together with her boyfriend and friends went to the other world (where R lives), they were attacked by corpses (there was R, too). While Julie's group exchanged bullets with some kind of chemicals in it, the corpse on the other hand played it brutally fair, they eat brains. Sadly, R ate the brain of Julie's boyfriend. However, R's soft side was brought about when he saw Julie for the first time -- Love at first sight, indeed. When other corpses smelled that there was a human being left in the laboratory, they sniffed (like a dog) until R saved Julie. <b>He dragged Julie along with her and kept her safe.</b> Sweeeeet! Warm Bodies was as sweet as candy and as mushy as marshmallows!!<br />
<br />
R tagged Julie to his home, in an airplane. By the way, he lives in an airport together with hundreds of corpses and bonies/eys (spell check, please). R was uneasy and so as Julie. Imagine yourself with a corpse, isn't it creepy? VERY!<br />
<br />
There are a lot of u-turns in the story that would make you sigh and wonder but all those will be covered up by the unique love story shared by both characters who were deeply in love but bounded by a huge wall both physically, mentally and emotionally.<br />
<br />
*no more spoilers* I want YOU to watch it. Hihi.<br />

I love every second of the movie, Warm Bodies. It really made a connection to the viewers. It may not be your typical Romeo and Juliet flick, but it will surely melt your hearts. It is indeed a perfect Valentine movie for couples, family, friends and even singles. I just couldn't imagine how R would survive that kind of life without Julie. *insert song* By the way, they also got great soundtracks!!! :)<br />
<br />
Just what I have posted in my Twitter account after seeing it, <i>Warm bodies was sweet and charming. It doesn't sell cheap laughs!
Unexpectedly funny and exciting all throughout. Zombies fall in love
too!</i><br />
<br />
<b>Some lines:</b><br />
<br />
"R:
What am I doing with my life? I'm so pale. I should get out more. I
should eat better. My posture's horrible. I should stand up straighter.
People would respect me more if I stood up straighter."<br />
<br />
"R:
I wish I could introduce myself but I don't remember my name anymore. I
mean, think it started with an R but that's all I have left. I can't
remember my name or my parents or my job. Although my hoodie would
suggest I was unemployed. Sometimes I look at the others and try to
imagine what they were. You were a janitor. You were the rich son of a
corporate CEO. You were a personal trainer and now you're a corpse. I
have a hard time piecing together how this whole apocalypse thing
happened. Could have been chemical warfare, or airborne virus or a
radioactive outbreak monkey but it doesn't matter. This is what we are
now."<br />

The attack of the story was somewhat different. It was a very slow-moving type of film wherein you get into the details of each character one by one, very slow. It even made me skipped some parts because I find it too boring and slow. There were also parts that made me think, "Do they really have to include this/that?" It does't have any connection to what's happening. Okay, there are a lot of things going on that turning it off came into me at some point of the movie. But I didn't because at the back of my head, something is telling me, BUT WAIT, there could be more about When a Wolf Falls in Love with Sheep :)<br />
<br />
True, even though the turn of events was as slow as turtle, it still has this great impact on me.<br />
<br />
Synopsis:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
It all started when a young boy was discreetly left by his girlfriend. The girlfriend left him a note: "off to cram school." After that, he haven't seen her again.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA9SILIxJntX0N5wkD5aEutGkSiUJ0mnqZKL5ml9nDpThQVcdv72wAMaqkiGsESXULUcyJ9gDNqd4NRbuXZZwanMSqTuhg9XRo67rDhC9mNDI-oichgTDx3VAADPBaBclZcm2bqyooS5c/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA9SILIxJntX0N5wkD5aEutGkSiUJ0mnqZKL5ml9nDpThQVcdv72wAMaqkiGsESXULUcyJ9gDNqd4NRbuXZZwanMSqTuhg9XRo67rDhC9mNDI-oichgTDx3VAADPBaBclZcm2bqyooS5c/s1600/images.jpg" /></a>Days after, he left his home and decided to follow her at the cram school at Nanyang Street. It is where the story revolves. He got a job at a photocopying station/detective office. From there, he started to look for his girlfriend. During the search, he met a lot and encountered different life-changing events. My favorite parts were meeting the priest at a noodle shop and the search for Champion, the dog. But the highlight was meeting Ying. Ying was a proctor during examinations at Cram School. She run errands for the school which includes the photocopying of the exam tests. But what made her unique is that she draws a cute cartoony sheep below the test paper. Sadly, nobody notices it until Mr. Broken hearted, the photocopy guy drew a wolf and noted that she's not alone in the farm. Aww, that is when the story of When a Wolf Falls in Love with a Sheep all began :)<br />
<br />
Go ahead and feed your curiosity! Haha.<br />
<br />

It is charming and heart warming. For cry babies, prepare. Hihi. It tells us that when somebody abandons us, there's always a reason behind it and that we have to accept it. Who knows, they are happier now? It may be difficult but one way or another, it will happen at the right time and at the right place. Like in Ying's story, she waited patiently and when it's time to finally let go both the good and bad memories of the past, she had no regrets because she went through the real process of moving on. No fast forwards and no trying hard moments. She fully accepted it and didn't look back. Instead, she faced it with a stronger heart and a tougher self. Ying helped Mr. Lonely guy to accept change and eventually, he also did. It was really an inspiring movie. A movie that would teach you that moving on from a broken heart may not be that difficult after all. It may take some time, but in the end, all the pain that you went through every single day will be worth it.<b> </b></div>

Admit it, you have been smiling all the time while watching this episode, kilig much? :) It sounds crazy but I love it, yay. BCWMH is not your typical iyakan, dramahan, sapakan, apakan, sampalan teleseryse. It's a Kiligserye wherein everybody can relate. What I love most is that they share the Filipino culture, self determination, family values and the day-to-day basis of a typical Filipino household.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also noticed that the roles played by each character are genuine. They act so naturally that it will not appear as something "pinilit" compared to other artists. It seems that they are enjoying each other's company a lot. It's a good feel show with lots of kilig moments. I really admire the chemistry of Mr. Richard Yap and Ms. Jodi Sta. Maria. How I wish they aired this during Primetime so that we will sleep with GOOD VIBES. Kapit Bisig, Pilipinas!</div>

Ugh, my preferred songs reflect the generation I belong. Hahaha! Anyway, no sense in hiding as long as my readers are aware that I am twenty-something! *time flies so faaast*<br />
<br />
Here goes:<br />
<br />
How I wish I can aboard a time machine and go back to my favorite period, the 90s to early 20th century, where almost all the songs are music to my ears. *eyes on you! I know you can relate* Boohoo! Hihi. Let me give you a list of my top 20 throwback songs from boybands to female solo artists. To all the boyband fanatics who are being criticized by the society as being baduy, count me in, I am one of you guys! I'm sure that those critics love us, they are just too shy to admit. I think love songs will cover 70% of my list! PREPARE. Hehe.<br />
<br />
Start 3, 2 and 1.<br />
<br />
No. 20 - Ulan by Rivermaya<br />
<br />
I take my pride being a full blooded Pinay! I heart OPM music :) Bamboo originally sang this when he was still with Rivermaya. Everybody loves him and the song of course! Simple pero rock!<br />
<br />
No. 19 - I Knew I Love You by Savage Garden<br />
<br />
This song was played repeatedly in teenage shows during the 90s so it really made some space in my heart. Click, TGIF, Growing Up and Gimik to name a few. Anybody can relate? Hihi. My list of 90s Songs is such a tearjerker. Haha!<br />
<br />
No. 18 - So Young by The Corrs<br />
<br />
A sibling band! I love them. This song reminds me of my youth. Well, happy youthful memories lives on!<br />
<br />
No. 17 - I'll be by Edwin Mc Cain<br />
<br />
Cut that crap off! Until now, this song is still a crowd favorite. I think this was the OST of the movie City of Angels. This song makes girls gaga whenever it is being played in radio stations before and now, it's a favorite videoke song by men. Why? Haha! Well... I don't know.<br />
<br />
No. 16 - Cool With You by Jennifer Love Hewitt<br />
<br />
For those who care, this is our barkada theme song :) The lyrics is perfect for those who are going through the moving on stage. Enough and cry it out loud. That's normal.<br />
<br />
No. 15 - Always by Imajin<br />
<br />
I like her but I love you, who can forget that lyrics? I contest, no one. Para sa mga two timer. Haha. Eyes on you again *kidding*<br />
<br />
No. 14 - 6,8,12 by Brian Mc Knight<br />
<br />
Again, another heartbreak song. Need I say more?<br />
<br />
No. 13 - Fantasy by Mariah Carey<br />
<br />
She's a bomb! I adore her when I was still in secondary school. I also love her other songs like Honey, Always be my baby and I still believe. Such a fan!<br />
<br />
No. 12 - Dreaming of You by Selena<br />
<br />
This latina is a total performer. During my emote days way back then, I used to sing this. Haha!<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">No. 12.1 goes to Until the Time is Through by Five </span></i><br />
<br />
No. 11 - 2 Become 1 by Spice Girls<br />
<br />
Well, they are the diamonds of the 90s! Who can forget Wannabe, Viva Forever and Mama? Geeez! They are the "peg" of the fashion world, haha! Who have ever thought that Melanie C's jogging pants can be a worldwide fashion trend and Posh spice will marry England's Beckham?<br />
<br />
No. 10 - Angel of Mine by Monica<br />
<br />
I love her and I super adore that song. I can sleep away by just listening to this song. Inspiring, so who's your angel? Haha!<br />
<br />
No. 9 - I've Been Waiting for You by Guys Next Door<br />
<br />
Search for this on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u52jgjW_XFw" target="_blank">YouTube </a>so you'll understand what I mean. After, you will realize you loved it long time ago, 90s Songs fever eh? Nostalgia! They look fine, I guess! Haha :)<br />
<br />
No. 8 - Each Time by East 17<br />
<br />
Is it weird of me to like this song? Haha! I hope not because I love this song to bits!! Very 2001 or probably earlier :))<br />
<br />
No. 7 - I Don't Wanna Wait by Paula Vole<br />
<br />
Who's an avid fan of the Dawson's creek here? You should know this song! Such a feel good song. May laman ang lyrics!<br />
<br />
No. 6 - Only Love by Toni Braxton<br />
<br />
Music to my ears. Walang masabi basta gusto ko to. Hihi. 90s Songs are the best!<br />
<br />
No. 5 - Stick Around by Azure<br />
<br />
For those in love, here's for you! <br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">By the way, insert at no. 5.1 - All I want by Inoj :) This hippie girl makes me sing and dance away! Yay.</span></i><br />
<br />
No. 4 - Finally Found by Honeyz<br />
<br />
Have you found that one? Yikes! They also sang the End of the Line but that's a sad song though. Yay.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>*insert Sometimes by Britney Spears as no. 4.1 and 4.2 for Mandy Moore's Only Hope.* hihi. I love them both!</i></span><br />
<br />
No. 3 - Forever by Damage<br />
<br />
Perfect to be a wedding song. This will drive your guests crazy (and crying) as you walk down the aisle. I superrr heart this song. You do too, right? Ahh! 90s Songs throwback!<br />
<br />
No. 2 - Invisible Man by 98 degrees<br />
<br />
Can I insert all their songs? Okay, so this is my all time favorite. **i wish you look at me that way...** I Do, Hardest Thing and I will Still Love You are the best too.<br />
<br />
No. 1 - When you Say Nothing at All by Ronan Keating<br />
<br />
I say nothing else, it makes my heart melt a thousand folds :)))<br />
<br />
So there you go, my top 20 song list of my generation! What's yours?~ Good day!<br />

Who doesn't know Innisfree? Well, you miss 30% of your skin care regimen, haha! :)<br />
<br />
Hello everyone! I'm writing this post on a Sunday, right after I had the Clay Mask applied last night :) Who cares anyway when did I use it? Haha! Let's blog away!!<br />
<br />
If you have large pores then this product is for you. I bought this nearly two months ago from ebay since there's no Innisfree outlet here in the Philippines yet but only got the time to try the<b> Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask</b> last night although I use the cleansing foam every other day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://snsdindia.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/innisfree-e28093-jeju-volcanic-pore-clay-mask-picture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="http://snsdindia.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/innisfree-e28093-jeju-volcanic-pore-clay-mask-picture.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

That pretty korean girl is Yoona of SNSD/Girl's Generation ^__^ Nice skin, right?<br />
<br />
So here goes my Review and some directions to help!<br />
<br />
<i>Skin Type:</i><br />

<br />
<i>Skin Color:</i><br />
Morena (a full-blooded Filipina here)<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />

Wash your face using your cleanser of choice and with WARM WATER. If you opt to use the <b>Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam</b>, it would be a great idea as well. Using warm water will open up the pores :)<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hint: Buy Etude House's Wonder Pore Brush and use it together with the foam</span></i><br />
<br />
2. Pat dry and rest your skin for about 2 to 3 minutes. While resting, prepare your <b>Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask.</b><b><br /></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Note: Don't be shocked for it's mud color<b> </b>and off smell.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. On your clean skin, gently massage the clay mask evenly. <span style="font-size: small;">Don't include <span style="font-size: small;">the lips, e<span style="font-size: small;">yes, eyebrows and hair<span style="font-size: small;">line. Just focus on the T-zo<span style="font-size: small;">ne or the <span style="font-size: small;">areas with <span style="font-size: small;">much<span style="font-size: small;"> attention<span style="font-size: small;"> needed.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Being a kdrama fan, I also opted to use products from Korea. Here's my first ever Skin Care review to publish. Haha.<br />
<br />
While strolling at the mall, the pretty interiors of the newly opened Etude House got my attention. I went inside the shop and immediately noticed the big bottled toner in baby blue endorsed by 2ne1's Sandara Park, labeled as Wonder Pore Freshner. I asked their sales consultant (the madam in pink apron para class at sosyal ang effect, hehe) if what condition of the skin does this freshner works best and she answered, "toner for those with oily skin." **DAAANG!!** From there, I knew I needed it and so, I bought it. I honestly forgot the price since this happened barely 2 to 3 months ago, I guess. Anyway, here's my skin care forecast. Read on... :)<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
The container is big, I mean huge. I know it's worth it for it's price although I forgot the actual cost. But being the kuripot me, I don't spend too much so hindi siya pain in the pocket. I started using it for two months already and only 1/8 of the bottle was consumed. Sulit diba? *wink*<br />
<br />
Segway... I'm easily attracted with pretty labels and neat packaging so they got me there!<br />
<br />
Next, great things may come in big packages, for the Wonder Pore Freshner, that's true. I use it everyday, walang mintis and I can prove that Etude House kept their promise on this product. No more oily skin for me. Hooray! ^^ No bias, I'm so happy I got this. It kept my skin hydrated without being oily. I believe it has a moisturizing effect as well. And YESSS, it makes your pores smaller. Haha! <br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Apply with a cotton ball after washing your face in the morning and before going to bed. When you feel that your face is clean already, you may apply your daily rituals like moisturizers, creams, packs/masks and so on.<br />
<br />
True to its name, it's really a WONDER FRESHNER. No day is complete without this. They also have other Wonder Pore products in store like mask, foam brush and other beauty regimens.<br />
<br />

<br />
We don't have the luxury of time to prepare meals every day since we are always in a rush and that made us love/hate fastfood meals so we have decided to try the MMM since you can save time! You will be able to cook rice while your ulam cooks! Wow!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Maggi Magic Meals comes in an aluminum pack with two compartments. One for the plastic and another one for the seasoning. Bright idea, indeed! We got the Bicol Express since it's the one in the ad. The instructions came handy and was explained well. No "I don't understand moments."<br />
<br />
I need not to explain the step by step guide since everything is written already and to keep the excitement of the experience.<br />
<br />
After 45 minutes... Tahdah!!!! Honestly, I didn't expect it would taste as good as this.<br />
<br />

For a price of 35 pesos and serves 2 to 3 hungry people, it's supeeeer affordable. But most importantly, it saves time and the taste is really goooood! Perfect for people on the go!<br />
<br />
*clap* *clap* for the creators of Maggi Magic Sarap. Very good concept for the Filipino family who are nagtitipid :) <br />

<br />
It was my latest read next to Life of Pi, both books are awesome but EASY made a special place in my heart. I even stopped reading The Fault in Our Stars to give way for this!!! Why? Simple, you will fall head over heels with the character of Jacqueline and Lucas. I found myself smiling, laughing and <i>some </i>hurting deep inside *haha! really?!*.<br />
<br />
Lucas was a stranger, a stalker and eventually became the confidant of Jacqueline. Jacqueline is your not-so-typical college girl who fell in love, broke her heart and met her knight in shining armor during the darkest moment of her life. Both characters are genuine to their feelings and really have the passion for what they love doing. Both shared a common denominator, they were trapped in the so-called PAST. Will they move on or will they continue living a life of regrets, secrets and shame?<br />
<br />
Meet them in this wonderful "emo" fairy tale. I highly recommend this book and for sure, putting it down will be some of the hardest decisions to make. Hahaha! *kidding*<b> </b>So, I give <b>4.5 stars</b> for the romantic novel, Easy!<br />
<br />
I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did. Thank you to Ms. Marivic for giving me this ebook as a freebie! What a great freebie. I love it!! Check out her listings: <a href="http://www.ebay.ph/sch/123kamote/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=" target="_blank">ebay account</a>. Get dizzy and ready your ebook readers.<br />

Again, I'm not a culinary expert or a baker per se. I'm just an ordinary twenty something year old who loves eating and discovering my capabilities inside the kitchen.<br />
<br />
No doubt, crepe is a wonderland. It makes my tastebuds excited. How did I do it? Here's how:<br />
<br />
Machineries: A trusted blender, non-stick pan and your every reliable plate. Not much, right?<br />
<br />
Ingredients for the crepe:<br />
1/2 cup water<br />
3/4 cup milk<br />
1 cup flour<br />
Pinch of salt<br />
2 medium sized eggs<br />
2 tbsp. melted butter<br />
<br />
Crepe Procedure:<br />
Mix them all up in your trusted blender. That's all. Simple? Very!<br />
<br />
After mixing, keep the mixture in a sealed container and store in your fridge. The shortest time for storage would be an hour and maximum time would be 48 hours. After the max period, don't use it anymore. Storing it in your fridge lessebs the bubbles! :)<br />
<br />
After an hour or probably overnight... (Catch some zzz's to perform better in the kitchen, don't let excitement conquer you! Haha)<br />
<br />
Prepare the filling! My favorite part. I'm going to share the all time favorite, chocohazelnut filling with banana and almonds topped with whipped cream! :)<br />
<br />
Chocohazelnut Crepe:<br />
<br />
Melted Nutella Chocohazelnut (microwave for 20 seconds)<br />
Ripe Banana<br />
Almonds (optional)<br />
<br />
Whipped cream: (optional)<br />
All purpose cream<br />
Powdered sugar<br />
Vanilla extract<br />
<br />
Prepare your crepe mixture, medium hot non-stick pan and melter butter. 30 seconds for one side and flip it! Then, that's it!! Easy?<br />
<br />
Look, I did this, it may not be perfectly gorgeous but the taste, wow! Haha.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

First and foremost, I'm not a cook or a baker. I just love to try new things and explore my teeny/weeny/trying/hard/creative mind. Let me get straight to the whole process and how I turned an egg and toast into a heavenly breakfast meal. (Bias with the taste, I made it eh!) haha.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 medium sized egg<br />
Cinnamon powder (need not to be mc cormick)<br />
Sliced bread (Gardenia, of course)<br />
Chicken Tocino (Pampanga's Best)<br />
Salt<br />
<br />
Procedure:<br />
<br />
1. Crack the egg. Separate the egg yolk from the white.<br />
2. Don't forget to fry the egg yolk first (not too long)!! :) Place the yolk in the middle of the bread.<br />
3. Sprinkle some cinnamon all over while frying. A pinch would do. Add a little salt to taste.<br />
4. Toast the bread in a toaster for about 2-3 minutes until the bread becomes darker. <br />
5. While toasting the bread, cook the packed tocino in a medium heat pan. You can fry it in water or in a cooking oil. Whichever is great!<br />
6. Plating time! Do your thing :)<br />
<br />
This is my finish product, what do you think? :) ENJOY! <br />

<br />
We had lunch at Gerry's Grill at the Peak, Gaisano Mall Davao. It was our first time to dine in that branch since we always go to Abreeza. So hmm, the location is accessible and attractive from afar. It looks cozier and more comfortable since the tables are arranged symmetrically. They have outside seating and an airconditioned area. We stayed in the airconditioned room since it's too hot outside.<br />
<br />
Ok. Let's go down to their menu (the mini book of great grilled food). I love Gerry's Grill and their staff's courtesy. They are always attentive to their guests but not today, to be discussed later. <br />
<br />
We ordered our usual favorites: Pork Sisig with Egg, Sizzling Garlic Mushroom Chicken and Grilled Tuna Belly. As always, they were great tummy fillers. Burppp. I had their garlic rice for my dose of carbo and green mango shake for my thirsty throat. We love it!<br />
<br />
Note: Their sisig is part of the top ten best sisig places! :)<br />
<br />
Back to our dining experience, apart from our very good meal, one staff served the hot plate in a rush, then the oil from the plate came off and accidentally land on my bf's face. I think it should be their protocol to say, excuse me, mainit po, excuse me sir/maam, but there was no precaution at all. And worst, no apology was given. We understand that accidents do happen but a simple apology would do :) <br />
<br />
Nonetheless, we love the food and for sure, we will go back.<br />
<br />
Here are the pictures, taken from my phone. Photos are not convincing but I tell you, taste it to experience :) enjoy! <br />

OKAY. For a Kdrama Fan, I am too late for this review because I just watched it the other day. Uh-oh.<br />
<br />
Rooftop Prince or also known as The Attic Prince is a time travel drama with lots of love in it. Unlike other bloggers, they gave a mediocre rating for this show, but me, <b>NO</b>. This drama deserves more, probably 4.5 stars. Close to perfect? <b>Definitely</b>. It's even part of my <a href="http://chocolatestardust.blogspot.com/2013/02/all-time-favorite-korean-drama-list.html?m=1" target="_blank">all time favorite kdramas</a> :)<br />

The plot is simple and very light to watch, no grudges or whatsoever although there are villains in the story (not new to a Korean flick) but they are not much to hate compared with other dramas' villains that would make your head ache.<br />

<br />
It all began during the Joseon Era, a Korean dynasty dated 300 years back from the modern time when the Crown Prince is all set to find the "love of her life". Crown Prince Lee Gak (the super in love) is then married to the Crown Princess Hwa Yong. Hwa Yong has a sister named Bu Yong who became their assistant in the palace. Bu Yong was supposed to marry the crown prince but her sister, Hwa Yong accidentally/intentionally burnt her face with an iron.<br />
<br />

<br />
They lived a happy marriage until the Crown Princess was murdered mysteriously. Prince Lee Gak got depressed that he really wanted to solve the murder case of his princess. He even searched for the best team to undercover the case, they were Song Man Bo, Do Chi San and Woo Yong Sul (who would complete the Joseon's version of F4 or should I say Power Rangers). They are definitely the cutest line-up for the search of clues and solving the mysterious death of the princess. From there, the story of the Rooftop Prince started.... *spoilers ahead (but just a little)* <br />
<br />
While they were doing the investigation, they found a clue that the <i>answer </i>is somewhere hidden in the middle of the forest. They went there together with prince Lee Gak but to their surprise, a group of bad people started attacking them. They rushed their horses to get rid of the arrows that were being thrown to them only to find out that it was a dead end... <b>Fast forward to the 21th century... *()$&@@".,?! eeeck* </b>next thing they knew, they were in Park Ha's (Bu Yong's reincarnation) rooftop.<br />
<br />
Who wouldn't be surprised to see ancient people in your rooftop? Haha! Well, they are pretty good looking but still, it's not a good surprise! I love how the plot made some sense :)) <br />
<br />
<u><b>The Review</b></u><br />
<br />
1. The story of the Rooftop Prince is <b>not common</b>. It is indeed full of surprises, u-turns and even great revelations. Although the cast are multiplied in each episode, all of them were relevant in every scene. Hmm, except for Mimi and the other housemate of Park Ha, which I don't know what happened to them. But generally, it caught the viewers' attention. Also, the connection (story) that took place in Joeson and the 21st century was given justice. The director came up with a good ending. For that, I will give it <b>4 stars</b> of 5 being the highest.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJh7TiHUwVFY2FnnxDQEF7MVsi55KSzxpPMiOhH1d8RRy6Tz6_Kqb1G_W5yu7Pc_Q6aa2qrpAneeTDcGfycV_XYCksHaNzpxotHSxXYrP3yNfgtNn7uMRtzQSXJF_CnptzlFvlBP-ailcg/s1600/build.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJh7TiHUwVFY2FnnxDQEF7MVsi55KSzxpPMiOhH1d8RRy6Tz6_Kqb1G_W5yu7Pc_Q6aa2qrpAneeTDcGfycV_XYCksHaNzpxotHSxXYrP3yNfgtNn7uMRtzQSXJF_CnptzlFvlBP-ailcg/s400/build.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
2. The happy scenes are just <b>irresistible</b>. From the bodyguards to the love team, it was full of passion, love and excitement except for the villains of course. Tae Yong and Park Ha are just two lovely couples. They give me reasons not to put down my iPad every time they are on que.<b><i> I just fell in love with the thought that FATE would bring you to the person who's really meant for you</i></b> e<i>ven it would take a hundred years</i> or forever perhaps. Aww! Although they aren't even part of my favorite KDrama couples, they definitely pulled it off. Now, they are on my list! I love them so I'll given them <b>4.5 stars</b>. <br />
<br />

<br />
3. The office set-up and family connection. Hmm, a bit okay. Some scenes were a bit off and I just can't connect it with the whole plot. It took so much time in the drama and it kinda bores me at some point. <b>3 stars</b> for the effort. <br />
<br />
4. The villains were kinda "trying hard" to play the witch part. At some point, I hated Se Na and Tae Moo but most of the time, they irritates me. They do things repeatedly. Hello, writer! :)<b> 3 stars </b>again.<br />
<br />
5. Lastly, the OSTs Hurt and Happy Ending were perfect!<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, I enjoyed watching it and I hope you would too if you haven't seen it yet. I can guarantee that after watching the whole series, you would feel like watching it all over again (like I did).<br />

Yes, it is indeed the effect of global warming / climate
change. These dramatic changes were discussed by Al Gore (former VP of
the United States) during his documentary that was shown in HBO.<br />
<br />
The question here is, is it really happening? Can we adopt penguins, polar bears and pandas anytime soon here in our city?<br />
<br />
Davao
is too blessed to experience the good life and to be tagged as "The
Land of Promise" - free from typhoons, strong winds, heavy rains and
flash floods (oooops!), YES, that was before. But now is a different
story.<br />
<br />
Just this morning, I woke up to a different sound that I
could hear outside my window, strong winds gushing and heavy rain
pouring. Some of our doors were banging and windows (made of steel
casement and glass) were softly closing. It's too cold and yes, too
difficult to handle for Davaoeños who are not used to this kind of
weather. Imagine, this is the 1st time in 30 years in Davao specifically
(yes, my first time too except during the times when I'm in Manila).
SCARY.<br />
<br />
<b>Pablo</b> (the strongest typhoon that will hit the country this year) is just entering <b>PAR</b>.
WOW! STRONG-est! If I could feel it, how much more those in areas
raised by PAG-ASA as signal no. 3 or worst, 4. I could imagine their
roofs made of nipa and even light materials being blown away, walls made of kawayan and nipa
being hit by some other things brought by the wind. Heart breaking! I
just hope the LGUs in their areas take their part in saving the lives
and properties of their people.<br />
<br />
<b>Oh well, we could do nothing but
be prepared. This is the test of nature, made exactly by human beings.
We destroy the nature, we then suffer the consequence.</b><br />
<br />
Let us just pray for everyone affected and pray that we will all be safe during these unwanted times.<br />
<br />
