In preparation for my sojourn to the land of Kpop and Kdrama, I find myself browsing through countless blogs, travel sites, and OTAs (online travel agencies). Though I've yet to look for must-visit attractions and must-buy items, there are certain things I want to do when I'm in South Korea, particularly in Seoul. 1. Eat bibimbap and samgyeopsal Bibimbap @ Bibimbob I've had the pleasure of tasting bibimbap here in Manila at a fast food...
After rediscovering K-pop this year (I say 'rediscovering' because I've known Kpop for a while, but didn't really care for it as much before), I have to say I pretty much like songs from boy groups. I find their songs are better suited to my tastes, plus their voices are not pitch-y (meaning, it doesn't irritate the hell out of me) like the girl groups. I admit it's also because I'm female. But that doesn't...
After recently watching the KPop Republic concert featuring SHINee--OMG. OMG. OMG. In the flesh!!!--EXO K, and Dal Shabet, I've been thinking about how lucky some fans were who got to meet the boys, and girls, backstage. Or even how I, as a fan, feel like a loser for not knowing what time and day SHINee arrived in Manila. Or where they were staying. It even got me thinking where would I get such information, and...
I hate to do this to Abbi Glines but I'm rating this book with 2 disappointing stars out of 5.I guess I should've seen this coming because of the not-so-happy-good reviews about the book in Goodreads. But I still wanted to read it as I TOTALLY LOVED the Too Far series. So, it couldn't be that bad, right? Oh boy...It had a great start. Definitely reels you in. The premise of being able to see...
I've been on a book slump for about a month now, so I'm already 1 book behind my Goodreads Book Challenge of 40 books for 2013. This is still after reading 2 books in a row: James Rollins' Black Order and Nyrae Dawn's Charade. At this rate, I think I'll go blind before reaching my goal. Sheesh. Makes me want to give awards to those who challenged themselves to reading at least 80 books in...
I'm not a drama addict (ok, not totally true). Alright, I'm an Asian drama fan. I've watched a lot of it over the years, albeit on and off, since Meteor Garden came out in the Philippines. But not that much to call me an addict. And about a year ago I discovered DramaCrazy.net (MySoju before that), an online site that hosts streaming Asian dramas (K-drama, J-drama, and Taiwanese dramas) and movies. IMHO, it was the...
Ok, it's been a while since I've written anything. Lately, or just late last week, I've been fangirling on SHINee--a 5-man boyband from South Korea. I'm not new to K-pop, but I wasn't a fan either. I like J-pop more, which is probably because of the animes I watch. :D Anyhoo, last week was also the time SHINee released their newest album and single "Why So Serious?". What can I say? I love the new...
