SUPER PHENOMENA

I will admit I listen to THREE korean songs. THREE. ONLY THREE. And I do because of Kim Hyun Joong (more populary known as Ji Hoo of Boys Over Flower). He is a member of a boy band in Korea but they aren't that hot these days compared to what I am going to talk about in this entry.

SUPER JUNIOR. According to what I have read about them, they are composed of ten guys who sing and dance. I thought S-Club seven was the most numbered pop group until I knew about these boys.





Apparently, they are SO popular here in the Philippines. Thank you to MYX for giving K-pop a segment on their channel. They recently had a major concert last Saturday (Feb 26) at Araneta. I believe this is their second time in the country. The first time was just a mall tour but it was a huge success. I guess that was the reason why they decided to hold a concert. True enough, the concert was a bigger success.

I pass by the Coliseum every working day of my life since January and I was quite stunned last Saturday to see a long line of girls outside. I don't know if they are falling in line for tickets or if they are just excited to be there early for their idols. One of my friends said that the line was like that since Friday. So, I wonder if they slept there. Idolatry much?

I am a bit curious about why girls go crazy about them so I watched one of their music videos. I wasn't contented to look at photos because I wouldn't understand the hype if I just look at still images. I thought that maybe they are good dancers or funny guys because usually those things get straight to female fans' hearts and I turned out to be correct. Their music video was good. I watched several music videos of korean groups and they have one thing in common: they are good dancers. But I think the main reason why girls are drooling over them is because they have swagger. I cannot remember the title of the music video that I watched. All I can remember was they are dancing in a studio and each members have a close-up shot with a panning light. That shot brought the masculinity in them though most Korean guys look queer because of how they dress plus they wear heavy make-up. and odd hairstyles. Overall, they are good performers. Maybe I could like them if I understand what they are singing. For the fans, language barrier don't matter as long as their eyes are satisfied.

Erratum: There are thirteen members in the group and their latest concert (feb 26, 2011) was their second here in the Philippines.

LOVELY CREATURES

Our baby, Bulanglang, gave birth for the first time to three beautiful puppies last week. We didn't expected that it will be this soon then we found out that dogs only get pregnant for two months. After that, they will give birth.

We had several dogs before that gave birth but I think this is the first time we cared this much. Bulanglang is very close to my mother. She treats her like she is her daughter. Bulanglang was my mom's companion during the time when she was a housewife (which she never experienced ever since she married my dad) late last year. Bulanglang gave birth at their room before the break of dawn. My brother said our mom went in their room screaming "Nanganak na si Bulang!". She was so excited to break the news to us in the morning. Now, we have three new addition to our family though I am not sure if we are gonna keep all of them. I am excited to go home every day to see them and I can't wait for them to walk and play with us just like Bulanglang did when she was little.


Meet Sabio (boy), Chieffy and Rikki (both girls). Ban named Rikki. I named Sabio and Chieffy after the two members of Azkals. It's a fit because they are all Askal puppies and Azkals are quite popular nowadays :)

I grew up with parents who love dogs so much. My dad is a real dog lover. I have never seen a person cared so much for an animal like he does. Every time he comes home at night or he calls when he's out-of-town, he will first ask if the dogs had eaten or if Ian bathe them already before asking how we are doing at home. Our dogs aren't labs or chow-chows. They are simply domesticated which we like to call as Aspin (formerly askal) but that is what make them special for me. They are ordinary but we love them for that. I wanna pass this love for dogs to my future kids (if I will have any) because I think if you know how to value a dog, you also know how to value a human being.

LIKE, OH MY GOD!

This doesn't happen a lot to me so I am making it a big deal. This is just a simple crap from my Twitter Homepage. You know what is happening there right? You see your tweets and the people you follow and it is up to you if you are gonna respond or ignore them. I was listening to Need You Now by Lady Antebellum while I am checking my Twitter account when I saw this.


Remember my past entry about the Azkal Goalee? That's him and he doesn't even speak tagalog! One of his team mate (and one of the most popular, I must say) started this thing about tweeting in tagalog and I think maybe he joined the trend. You see, they have Filipino blood but they were born and raised in England. Maybe they could understand a bit but they hardly speak the language. I just found it funny and cute when I saw it. I started thinking him actually saying it with his bloody sexy British accent. Hahaha!

It's 11:11 already and I should be sleeping by now 'cause I still have work tomorrow. Guess you know who's to blame :)

GREEN MONSTER

Money.

I wish our world doesn’t revolve around money. It is always the cause of every fight and these fights always end up with hurting one another.

Why does money so important?

We cannot live without it.

We will starve without it.

We can’t pay the bills without it.

We cannot travel without it.

We cannot be satisfied without it.

There is a story about a girl who doesn’t care about money but always have a problem about it. She is a 21 year old girl who is now working at a company she believes can make her improve. Her first two jobs were both not related to what she studied in college. She really enjoyed her second job and thought she could stay at it forever though she knows she cannot progress with it. It was a low paying job but she really loved it. A better opportunity (her current job) came for her so she grabbed it. Her latest job wasn’t that high paying but it was way better than her first. She really doesn’t know what she wants in her life. She wanted to be a writer right before she took the entrance exams in college. During college, she put up a business because she originally wanted to be a business woman. Months before she graduated in college, she thought of becoming a copywriter for an advertising agency because she thinks it was cool. After college, she had a camera and fell in love with it so she promised herself to study photography and be a photographer someday. She doesn’t know what she wants to pursue because she had all these dreams on her mind. She also wasn’t sure if she’s that good to really pursue it. She was easily discouraged when something doesn’t go right with her plans and she always think that she will fail. She doesn’t believe in herself. She doesn’t have the courage to stand up and face all the challenges in life. For all she knows she wasn’t that good enough. So, she doesn't care about earning so much money. She just wants to find out where she could be happy and where she’s really good at. But, of course, there are things she wanted like clothes, eating with her friends, and gadgets. And in order to afford all those, she needs to earn money. She’s working now just to pay her credit card bills that she thinks won’t end until she dies. She and her mother always fight because of the unpaid bills and her pauper salary. She doesn’t care if she always skips her meal everyday or pass some invites of her officemates just to save. But doing those aren’t enough. She knows that it’s her fault to purchase that expensive gadget but it was the only thing that keeps her in touch with her first love – writing. Alright, she wasn't that excellent in writing but she tries her best to improve. That gadget was her only outlet when she couldn’t contain her emotions. It was her wonderland where her dreams come true. But that gadget was always the part of the argument because it is too expensive. Sometimes she wishes she was born rich so she wouldn't mind the things she is minding right now. She was the eldest child but the second child was more successful than her. The second child is always the one who’s teaching her lessons about everything. I believe that was one of the reasons why she is inferior. She’s ashamed every time they are being compared for she knows she can’t match what the second child achieved.

She is still contemplating how to pay the bills and how to not starve in the days to come. The loser girl is losing her mind because she and her mother just had a fight last night regarding money for the nth time. She thought that if she could win 50 million in the lottery, she will give 40 million to her parents and hope that it would solve the problem and everybody will live happily ever after.

Inevitable circumstance

I haven't watch football in my whole life. I've never been interested in the game nor keen with the players but lately because of the Philippine National Football team or popularly known as Azkals, I begun liking it. It started when I had a weird dream about their most famous player. I didn't even know why but I felt a sudden tingling in my gut the morning I woke up. It was the start of the endless googling for his name and my interest for the team. I want to watch their games but the venue was out of Metro Manila. I want to watch it on TV but we don't have a freaking normal TV set. So I resort to internet updates and tweets from friends. The crush for the famous Azkals subsided just because he was too famous (hahaha!) and when I saw their goalee.

NEIL ETHERIDGE

I know football has tons of hot guys in their league but I never saw someone as good looking as this one. Hahaha! Kilig aside, It was because of this guy why I want to watch football. The interest started because of a crush but I want to know that sport more. I want to be passionate about it just the way I am passionate about basketball. I've been in love with basketball since the day I had my first period and until now I still make it a point to be updated though I haven't watch a game in a long time. I want to be into football not just because of the hot players but also because of the game. I try my best to watch videos in youtube or read articles about it over the internet just to know the rules and its mechanics little by little. After all, it is the world's most favorite sport. It won't kill me if I try :)
