I WAS UPLOADING OLD PICTURES FROM OUR TRIPS TO THAILAND A FEW YEARS AGO AND I WAS SURPRISED THAT I HAD A PHOTO WITH AN SS501 EVENT POSTER AS MY BACKGROUND. I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS UNTIL NOW. WE WERE THERE FROM MAY 16-19, 2008 AND ACCORDING TO THE POSTER, THE EVENT WAS ON MAY 31. I WOULD HAVE DIED IF IT WAS HELD DURING THE PERIOD OF OUR STAY. HOLY SHIT, WE REALLY ARE MEANT TO BE. HAHAHAHAHA. KHJ, PLEASE COME TO ME. OTHERWISE, I'LL FIND A WAY TO COME TO YOU! stalker much? sarang-hae-yo!!!
What a way to ruin my birthday. I went there with my lolo to renew my license exactly on its expiry date - May 13, 2010. This is because I had no time to do this earlier - busy with work, and other stuff. So when I got there, we waited for the employees to arrive and open the office but we were told that their system was offline. WTF. I had it all planned. I would spend my morning there and celebrate afterwards. We were asked to take the medical exam and the drug test then come back once their system goes online. We did just that. But they were offline the entire day... good thing we didn't wait. The next day, I didn't bother to come coz I had work. Then Monday came and while I was at the office, I received a message from my mom that LTO was back to business. So I filed one day VL for today just for that. I can't not have my license coz I drive a lot. It was nice that my bosses allowed me. Yey! Pero sana nag half day nalang ako coz I got my license at around 9am since I didn't have to go through the medical and drug test again.
And oh, I know, mahilig ang LTO mangotong. But I didn't expect that their doctor would do the same. He said to my lolo that he failed the medical exam coz of his high BP and that he had to make "lagay". Oh I just wanna slap him hard on the face. Grr. Had I known that, I would have done so. By the time we were in the car, that's when my lolo told me. I hate him. How could a doctor do such a thing? Pipichugin na doctor sha. No wonder nasa LTO lang sha. He didn't even do the entire medical exam procedure on me. He just asked me a couple of nonsense questions and checked my weight and height. Kung mejo mas maliit pa siguro ako sa height ko na to hihingian din nya ako ng lagay coz I'm not tall enough to drive. I hate him!!!
I woke up yesterday with a sudden urge - to get myself real curls. So I waited for Ryan and rushed to T&J. I spent another huge amount of money on this one but I really needed a change. So there. See the results. ;) My mom wasn't happy about it and thought I did better curls with my curling iron but what can I do? It's done! Happy mother's day, Mommy! Hehehehe.
The first quarter of this year has just ended and I feel like I want to start a new life - something different and exciting, something more challenging. I have always stayed within my comfort zone because I was afraid to get hurt by stepping out of it. With my recent trips, I realized there's just so much more to experience. So much more to conquer, and if I don't start now, I won't be able to experience the world fully. To do this, I need resources and support - encouragement that I'd be able to succeed.
I have set too many boundaries before and now I'm taking them down. I know there's just so much more out there and I wanna prepare myself for the big change. I'm not a little girl anymore so I wanna be free. I know it's sad and it can get frustrating at times but you gotta do what you gotta do. People ought to take some chances at some point, otherwise their lives will be filled with nothing but regret. Wishing they had done it but chose not to. I don't wanna have any regrets. I wanna live fully. I wanna do so many things and I think there won't be much time left if I keep this up.
Many will question me for this decision, but hey, this isn't final yet. Things can change within this year - we've gone through only 1/4 of it. The rest is up to God. I know he'll take me places because I deserve it. Clearly, I know it's gonna be a difficult journey to success but I'm willing to sacrifice because I'm sure that I will reap countless rewarding experiences afterwards.
No one ever chooses the path to failure, but somehow, along the road to success, you lose your way and end up sobbing because life turned out to be that hard and swept you away to the other side leaving you helpless and empty-handed. I really hope this doesn't happen to me.
My friend and I booked a flight to Incheon almost 5 months ago. It was an impulse purchase. We didn't have any guardians - not that we're not legally considered as adults, but because we felt we were going to a strange place, just me and her. I was ecstatic, and counted the days til our trip. I started wanting to travel to Korea since the Boys Over Flowers phenomenon began. I loved the drama so much to the point that I wanna go and see where it happened - not the exact places they filmed at, but the country itself. I wanted to see for myself how it was like in their divided country. Koreans are genuinely nice. I do not see why they would clash with each other, hence the division of North and South. I haven't gotten into the history but taking into consideration their warmth and hospitality, I cannot understand why they would go against one another. Anyway, enough about that. I'll probably research on that later on. We got there at night and it was freezing cold at 1 degree. I was stunned. I didn't expect it was that cold even though I checked the weather forecast for our travel period. We immediately changed clothes right after getting off the plane then took a long bus ride to our hotel. It seemed like the longest walk on earth from the bus stop to our hotel because the temperature made it such a burden. Coming from the Philippines, one isn't used to this kind of cold. The most we could get is a 16 degree airconditioning system which doesn't compare to a 1 degree enviroment. I also came from Singapore before coming to Korea and it was even hotter in SG than in Manila. What a way to torture my body.

On our first day, we went on a mapless journey on foot. We walked and walked, shopped here and there and decided to have lunch and some rest only after 6 hours. I felt like I lost so much weight counting all the steps I must have taken for that 6 hours. We were exhausted but it was too cold therefore we didn't sweat at all. We had lunch and did some more shopping then decided to take a cab back to the hotel because we think we've lost our way and we were too tired to walk back.

On day 2, we went to the Gyeongbokgung Palace, which, if I remember correctly, is the biggest one. It was tiring to try to walk around the entire place but it was beautiful. We went to see what they had in the museum for a few minutes and headed to the N Seoul Tower. It was frustrating that the cable cars didn't work that time. I so wanted to ride the cable car because of BOF - where Jan Di and Jun Pyo spent their first night together. They probably cancelled the cable car rides during that time because of safety reasons - due to the cold weather.

On day 3, we went to Lotte World. It was a weekend so we had to wait in long lines just to experience each ride. I would have tried everything if we went on a weekday.

On day 4, we went to Everland Resort. I wanted to go to this place because of We Got Married, another Korean show. My crush, Kim Hyun Joong, took the T Express with Hwang Bo so I wanted to try it myself - and I did. It was the first thing I searched for. It was awesome and I met cool friends while waiting in line. I remember the guy's name. It's Lee Sol Jae, if I spelled it right. They were very nice - he and his girlfriend. I wish I have gotten their Facebook details so we could keep in touch. Too bad I didn't.

On day 5 which was our last day, we did some last minute shopping and my friend bought a camera. I wanted to buy too but I wanted a real camera. It was like this polaroid camera but it's Fuji. It's pink and it's cute. I could have bought one but decided not to. I felt sad leaving Seoul. I loved it so much and I wanna go back soon. And yes, just this afternoon, I booked another ticket. But it's not until next year. So I guess I'll have to wait a little longer. But surely, it's gonna be worth the wait because I'm coming with my mom and Ryan.
(On our way home... sad...)
Will try to write more about my experience in Korea soon. Tata!

my mom is eyeing the new chevy spark, i hope someday i can buy her a car. she's always the one buying me stuff so i wanna be rich enough to get her a new car. in 2006 she bought me a car and i couldn't be any happier. :) so i wanna return the favor soon. so help me GOD. i really don't need much right now. it's just those times when i get too impulsive without thinking about the consequences of my unplanned spending. before the week ended, i was really upset and i needed a quick upper so i bought a shirt and necklace from the nearby tiangge during lunch break hahaha.
a few weeks ago, i met a very pleasant man - the former DGM. i don't know but i really think he's nice just by listening to what he had to say during the seminar. and he shook my hand not once, but twice. hahaha. i forgot what was "nice to meet you" in japanese so i just smiled back at him.
a month ago, i think, i had the scariest dream ever. i was in moa when a tsunami came and swept us away. i was pretty sure i died in that dream. i guess the recent typhoons are partly to blame for this terrifying dream. typhoon santi scared me more than ondoy because my locked door opened itself due to the strong wind.
i don't like bree buckley and elle from gossip girl. elle is also renee in one tree hill. she played two slut roles. why? hehehe. also the new girl from mercy west who has been bugging alex karev.
when the shuttle drivers use their radio i often hear "mike delta" which i think stands for mcdo. "sting ray", "delta sierra", "don robert", etc. what are they trying to say? hahaha. i can't stop thinking about it. hahaha...
i can't find my eye medication - tobradex, where are you? come back to me. i found out someone is named "ernalyn" damn, how does it feel to have a name synonymous to shit? peace! it's just that gay people call shit erna hahaha.
