Korean Fried Chicken

When I bond with my Korean friend, Yuri I learn a lot of things from her! One of the most interesting things that she told me about their culture is about the eating of chicken in Korea. If here in the Philippines usually when we order chicken it usually comes with rice in Korea found out that chicken is just a snack to them like chips or something haha! It's a very popular snack there and there would be specific restaurant just for chicken like a chicken bar or something and they don't serve rice with it just different sauces!


My friend says that chicken in Korea is usually consumed as a midnight snack or just when you're hungry and want a snack! She told a me a story that when her family first came here they were shocked as she said that when people buy chicken here it comes with rice unlike in Korea haha but as time passed they got the hang of eating chicken with rice :)) but since there's a chicken restaurant near their house they still order and eat one whole chicken for midnight snack :) 
Next time I'll ask her to bring me to that chicken restaurant since it's near so I can experience and I'll post photos if I get to bring a cameara! HAHA :)

Minato Korean & Japanese Restaurant

Yesterday my Korean friend, Yuri and I had dinner at a Korean restaurant that's located behind my school. Since we haven't seen each other in a while that's why we decided to bond before the week of her finals :)
Side Dishes

Kimchi Pancake

Yuri <3

Yuri wanted to take my picture :))

I ordered seafood noodles :)

 Yuri shared her food with me! This is cold noodles! Super yummy even if it was cold!!!

Before going to the restaurant we went to Yuri's house first which was conveniently located behind the school too! I downloaded some shows that she wanted so went to her place first since the restaurant was still closed :) Super fun bonding! I learn so much from her about Korea and of course about other stuff too every time I'm with her :)
~~~~~~
Probably the highlight of the night for me was over dinner when she told me about the story about the Korean Missionary who got killed recently since her family was friends with the missionary's family. What was amazing was that even if a Filipino was the one who killed the missionary it seems that they weren't blaming the Filipinos in general for what happened to their fellow Korean which was great to hear since there's been a lot of negativity towards  country these days because of the hostage situation that happened earlier this week. She also said that the family wasn't sad because they know he's in a better place now which is with God. It's just really unfortunate that this happened to visitors from other country especially to a missionary who voluntarily came here to help the people in our country. 

I hope next time situations like this can be avoided so nothing bad happens to anyone anymore may it be to locals or foreigners :)



Cherry Pop! Cherry Pop!

So a few weeks ago I shared that I bought shoes from this online store in facebook called Cherry Pop this time I bought this cute pink sling bag with a big black bow made of lace :)


 
This is such a super cute bag! Worth the money!:)
Oh and I ordered 2 more items from them 
I'll post photos again when they arrived! :)

SHINee World~


This blog entry is dedicated to one of my favorite KPOP Idols, SHINee and my new found respect for them! HAHAHA. Last night while surfing the net and trying to do my RM paper the website where I check for updates about them uploaded SHINee's guesting on The Muzit a music show in Korea. 

So what you say? Well nothing really except that their performances were awesoooome! Especially when they sang the English songs flawlessly! Hands down to them because I really liked it and I can't believe they can sing in English fluently even Key whom I know is good in English hahaha it's the first time I heard him rap in straight English not just like one liners from their songs! 

Check out the clips below where they sang I'm Yours by Jason Mraz, I'll Be Missing You by Puff Daddy and Hey Juliet by LMNT which are awesome songs that they gave justice too! >_<


Oh and it's not just about them singing English songs too I am spazzing how talented they really are especially when singing ballads! Hands down to Taemin (second from the left) for getting better and catching up with the older member's who's really good in belting out notes! :) Check out the clip below where they sang the song Quasimodo from their current album which is a very sad song and also a favorite of mine :) 


These boys are really awesome performers! Not only are they good in singing but they're also awesome in dancing and great in variety shows! (San ka pa?) HAHA! I hope they stay in the industry for a long time! I really hope their agency does everything to keep these boys together because it would be a total loss if SHINee disbanded.


Oh and I would like to make a shout out to Mish Umali for spazzing with me when I needed someone to spaz with so late at night/early morning already! Thank you! <3

Senior Year So Far~

Currently I am a Senior at the University of Asia and the Pacific and so far its been okay but stressful because of the workload and even if I only attend school 3x a week it's not enough for the workload given to me HAHAHA LIFE! But it's okay! I'll miss this when I finish school anyway so I might as well "enjoy" while I still can :) 

These were the stuff Rbie and I got @ the PBB house hahaha not our proudest day but hey we loooved the PBB teen housemates last summer!

My Pre-birthday visit my friends at Ateneo since I didn't really celebrate my birthday this year like I always do because I wanted it to be different! I just hung out with my HS friends who weren't to busy for me! Some were very sweet that even if they were busy they still went out of class to see me! heehee :> Oh, the cute drawing was given by Mj Benitez who's c'est magnifique haha I love her to death! She's really awesome to click her name to check her personal blog :)



These photos were on the day of my 21st birthday this year! These 3 girls visited me and I really appreciate that and that also made my quiet birthday extra special :)

A week after my birthday the first Forever21 opened here in the Philippines and what luck the mall where it was put up is near my house so I definitely had to be there at the opening! So far this was my first and only time I have been there since I had been busy with school :))

After going to the opening I hung out with Mj Benitez and the very talented Reese Lansangan who I was happy to finally meet (Watch out for her and her friend Vica's album coming out soon!) We really didn't have time to hang out so we just went to Top Shops private sale for a while and then went to Golden Spoon and chatted for a while 'til our rides came :) It was definitely one of the highlights of this year <3


This was the 2nd lunch I had with my new Korean friend Yuri Jung whom I met through my sister and her friend Joyce! I'm really happy to meet her and learn more about Korea from her stories! We made A LOT of kimbap that day which were really yummy and fun to make! :)

During the same week we had a sleepover with her! It was her first sleepover at a Filipino friend's house which was awesome! She said she had fun and liked the food that we prepared for her :)


Then there was the Humanities welcome party for the newbies (a.k.a Juniors) who just started taking majors for our course! It was fun and tiring but totally worth it! I hope the newbies enjoy the party and learned something from us too! :)


This was during one of the days that I didn't have class and my family randomly wanted to eat lunch out and what luck I was free and not busy so I got to go with them! :) These photos were taken when we were about to go home and was waiting for the valet people to bring out car! My dad randomly started to pose for the camera which was very awkward! hahaha love family bondings!

This was during Yuri's 18th birthday dinner! Super yummy Korean food! I love this Korean girl so much! <3

Oooh this was the day my friends and I well some of us was the first time to eat at the newly renovated cafeteria! This definitely is plus point for our school because the old looking caf was really UGH hahaha especially when its raining! hahaha the caf looks classier now even if it's small compared to other school's cafeteria :)

Well so far this has been my senior year! Actually this is not complete because I don't bring my camera that often na that's why I don't have pictures of other days of my senior year but it's okay I keep a mental photo album inside my head (Whut hahaha love it) I'll try to update again soon! So for now enjoy these photos :)

This was the only time when my friends and I got together well when we're almost complete anyway this was a few days or a week after our classes ended~

This was during my younger sister's debut I only got to have one photobooth picture with my friends because I was busy running around and trying to make sure the program of the debut went well~

This was our last lab day for Chem which was I cream making day! Yes the summer class I took during the summer was Chemistry haha it was fun because I passed and I really worked hard to pass this subject~

This is Dixie she was basically my summer and chemistry buddy! This was the day when we visited some friends who were working at the "Make Your Own Havianas" even at Rockwell :)



This was the day when Rbie and I went to the PBB house to order stuff which will I post in a bit. HAHA. This day I can say was not my proudest day just because :))

OMG this was one of the highlights of my summer! Watching SHINee's Hello Baby online! I loooove these boys and the baby they took care of named, Yoogeun! I miss watching this and I wish they had more episodes :(

My first and only ooVoo session with some of my friends! This was random and fun~

One of the highlights of my summer is also because my bestfriend, Val whom I haven't seen in almost 3 years came home finally for summer! This was during our margarita night at Agave, Highstreet! <3

The yearly sleepover with TUSF super fun as always! I love these girls to death! <3 Although we go to different school's we make sure to see each other during the vacations our school gives us :)
