Be My Yeobo x Samgyupsalamat

Food April 23, 2016

I have been so busy these past weeks because of school that's why I haven't posted much on this blog. But actually, a lot of things happened to me this April and definitely it is one of the moments I have.

Last April 2, 2016, one of Bench's endorsers and a known Korean actor, Lee Minho, came to the Philippines to have his short fan meeting. You only need to buy one tee and a perfume endorsed by Lee Minho on any Bench outlets. To be very honest with everyone, I do not plan on going since I am saving my money for other stuff but my mom (who is really an avid fan of Lee Minho) gave me money to buy those things and have my passes on Lee Minho's fan meeting.

At the same time, me and my K-Pop friends planned on having a dinner on that same date since one of our friend will be coming here in Manila (she's actually from Cebu). So, we decided to go to Lee Minho's fan meeting in Megamall and after that have our dinner.

It was 3pm when I arrived at the venue and I was so shocked with the number of crowd.

Since I am not allowed to be with the crowd, due to health problems, my friend (Ate Jen) and I decided to go up and just find a place where we can still see Lee Minho.

Look at those people. We can actually see them waving (like ocean waves). This is how Philippines love Lee Minho.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, Lee Minho finally arrived and the crowd went wild. People at my back were really pushing me so hard but I managed to stand still and try to take a good picture of Lee Minho.

He is definitely tall and has a perfect skin complexion.

There were 50 people who were able to touch Lee Minho! My classmate was actually one of them. Even though I am not a "SUPER" fan of Lee Mino (hey, I like him in Boys over Flowers), I still feel envied. But I am happy for all those who were able to touch Lee Minho.

It was really just a short fan meeting, like 15 minutes, I guess? After the short fan meeting, we then decided to go to Samgyupsalamat at Taft near La Salle St. Benilde for our dinner. From Mandaluyong to Taft, wow, what a trip. :D

But it doesn't matter, the important thing here is that the "GOT7 Squad" is complete.

The last time this squad became complete was November 14, 2015, the time when we all first met too. That was during GOT7's 1st fanmeeting here in the Philippines. And finally, after months, we are complete again! Yay!

And since we are Kpop fans, we decided to eat at a Korean Buffet - Samgyupsalamat.

We enjoyed the food and the company of each other even though we were together for a couple of hours only. Though miles may lie between us, we are never far apart, for friendship doesn't count miles, it's measured by the heart.

The Valentine of a Single

Lifestyle February 17, 2016

When we hear the word "February", the first thing that comes in our minds is Valentine's Day. We all know that Valentine's Day is celebrated during the 14th of February. A lot of couples are really looking forward to this event. But how about us singles? Do we also look forward for this celebration?

My answer is YES. We do, or should I say, I do.

I celebrated Valentine's day with those people or thing I love.

February 12, 2016

Two days before Valentine's Day, I went back to my former university to visit my friends there and celebrate Feb Fair with them (that is how UPLB students call it).

It has been months since I last saw them and interact with them. So I'm really happy to see them. So, I grabbed the chance to have some pictures with them. At the same time, I ate dinner with them.

After having dinner, we decided to go back to Freedom Park and find a good sit since we will be waiting for Sponge Cola to perform. We waited for more or less four hours. But that long waiting is nothing because Sponge Cola didn't fail us. They were really a professional band, I can say. And not to mention, Yael (their vocalist) looks pretty good.

It was really worth the wait. Aside from enjoying the songs of Sponge Cola, I enjoyed being with my friends.

February 13, 2016

After enjoying the Feb Fair, it's now time to have some art moments.

National Book Store had an event held at the Activity Center, Glorietta II. As you can see in this picture, the event is entitled, "Love Calligraphy". A lot of famous Filipino Calligraphist or Letterers came here to have a short workshop on how they do their calligraphy and lettering. Not only that, six known products came here to sell some of their best selling pens/brushes.

In this picture, you can see one of the famous calligraphist, Anina Rubio (you can check her blog) talking and sharing her knowledge to us and I can say that she is so beautiful and so as her works.

In this event, I also had some hand painting and it's really really cute. Kudos to the Kuya who made this on my hand.

But of course, one of the reasons why I went to an event is to meet my co-IGOT7, Ate Jen, and also my favorite letterer, ABBEY SY!!!!!! (Okay, fan girl mode is on)

This is Abbey (wearing skirt) and her friend, I guess while doing her Art Mural. We actually interrupted her (I'm sorry hihi) and asked a picture with her. This is actually my first time seeing her and my fan girl feeling is already overflowing.

Fan Girl moments together with Ate Jen

So Ate Jen and I waited for Abbey's turn to demonstrate her works and after that we lined up so we can get our copy of her book signed. By the way, you can check Abbey Sy's blog.

Who said that if you're single, you can't be happy during Heart's Day? Just by being with your friends and be somewhere you want, even if you're alone, you can be happy. I celebrated my Heart's Day together with my Elbi friends and co-IGOT7, plus, with my second love, Arts.

Those two days were really tiring because I have to travel to different places but all I can say is, everything is worth it. I was able to have fun with my friends. I was able to learn new stuff regarding calligraphy and lettering. And I was able to be learn and be happy on this time in my life.

I maybe a little late to greet you a happy heart's day, but still, I'm going to greet everyone a Happy Heart's Day! So you guys, how did you celebrate your Heart's Day? :)

5 Best of Best this 2015

Lifestyle December 31, 2015

Today marks the last day of 2015. 2015 has been a great year for me especially for my fangirl life. So, before 2015 ends and 2016 enters, I will be posting the 5 best or memorable things that happened to me this year. This will be based on the dates these events or things happened.

1. Best of Best KPOP 2015 Philippines (April 12, 2015)

Who would have thought that I was able to attend this concert? Not to mention, this is my first concert. I really never thought that I will be able to attend here since the event place is quite far than usual. But thanks to my classmate (Hi Shane!) who opened her house for us to stay after the concert.

In this concert, I was able to see my ultimate bias group which brought me to the world of KPOP, Super Junior. Even though they weren't complete, I was still happy to see them with my bare eyes, hear them sing live, and watch them do their fan services. Truly, Super Junior is my most favorite KPOP group and it will never change. I was also able to see Girls' Generation, BTOB and Red Velvet.

2. IGNITE 2015 (June 2-4, 2015)

IGNITE 2015 is like a conference for all Victory churches and I'm so blessed to be a part of this conference. Being there really warms my heart and makes me want to share God's word to other people.

Look at those people. It was a full house. Imagine Araneta Coliseum was full because of this event? Not only that, it makes me happy seeing that a lot of people, not only in the Philippines, know God. In this conference, I was able to gain new Christian friends too. 'Til next event!

3. Asus Zenfone 2 (July 17, 2015)

After waiting for 6 years, I have finally bought a new phone. Well, it's not an IPhone (still can't afford it) but still a better phone than my old one. I decided to buy it for my birthday since it is just days away from my birthday.

My cousin (Rio) and I bought this together. She told me that this phone is good so I decided to buy it. I just wanted to have a phone with a better camera since I am a frustrated photographer. And it didn't fail me.

4. Musician Traveller (October 23, 2015)

Finally! After months of waiting, I now have my own website, thanks to the help of my cousin (Ate Neri) and her friends (Ate Camille and Sir Alex). They were the people behind this website. They helped me to have my own domain and other stuff needed here. It's really my dream to be a blogger and right now, I'm starting how to be.

I like to thank my favorite Bloggers - Tricia Gosingtian, Camille Co, Farrah Espina, and Arisse De Santos - for inspiring me to blog too and at the same time answering my questions about blogging. And I promise to study more about blogging and post a better and newer stuff here!

5. GOT7 1st Fanmeeting in the Philippines (Nov. 14, 2015)

Of course, this is the latest and one of the most memorable thing that happened to my fangirl life. I wasn't really expecting to be a part of those people who got some perks. Thank you AAP for bringing GOT7 here in the Philippines again. My husband (Mark Tuan) and I have finally met. lol.

I wasn't only able to see them (and touch their hands) but also I gained new friends who proved that long distance friendship is possible - Ate Jovs, Elley, Emarie, Ate Jen, Ate Chol, Ate Riggie, Ate Andria, Ate Jade, Ate Shienna, Ms. Jay, Ate Bea.

Up until now, I still have this post-fanmeeting syndrome and I badly want to see them again. So better save up so I will be able to watch them on their Asia Tour Concert next year.

2015 has really been my year, I guess. A lot of things happened to me personally, a lot of goals have been achieved but that won't stop me. I will still put more goals for 2016 and do my best to achieve those goals. I thank 2015 for giving me a lot of challenges too, that made me grow stronger. More to come for 2016!

Happy New Year everyone!
