Been around Koreans for quite some time. But I'm not a fan of their pop culture. Nothing against it, just really not a fan. Aside from Princess Hours, Fullhouse, and Kim Sam Soong, I was never really a fan of Koreanovelas or Korean stars unlike say... Brendel or Kring. But I do enjoy talking to Koreans and interacting with them coz they're soooo funny. And my adopted uncle Brian Choi always treats me to free drinks and food. AUTOMATIC! Some of my friends have been singing and dancing to this song "Nobody" but being clueless that I am, I don't know the song and haven't watched the video. But I saw the Kringy teach the dance steps to pre-school students and it got me curious. Last night, I asked my work colleagues what the song is. And they told me to ask Mr. Choi to forward me the song as it was his ring tone. LOL! And he did send it to me, and he also forced me to copy 2NE1's Fire as, according to him, it is a "better song by Sandara Park." And the good people in our technical crew even played the music video on TV so…

Being Here
Most of my life, I have been told to act a certain way, do certain things, be someplace I am not sure I want to be in. But I am finally where I want to be, writing. Writing has always been my passion. True, I am a science geek and I love Math more than the average person, but it has always been writing that I have been passionate about. It is the thing that I have always wanted to do. As a kid, I realized that writing my thoughts can affect people, can change things. Yes, I had a messianic complex thing going on. Feeling ko magbabago ang world pag naging manunulat ako. (I felt like the world was gonna change if I become a writer.) But being who I was and wanting to please, I took a different path, one that was well within my skills and capabilities, but obviously one that I wasn't really very much passionate about. But things happened. A complex web of stories of because of this and because of that, from being a webmaster wannabe to professional blogger to gamer to poker enthusiast. All these things contributed to my finally being a writer,…
From 38 to 29
This is another vanity post. KTHNXBAI! People have been giving me great comments on my new look. My new haircut and recent hospitalization plus some new items in my wardrobe has made more people notice how much weight I have lost. People (mga bolero) have been telling me I look younger even if I just celebrated my birthday. My cousin, my Ninang, and my new Diyosa body at a Davao dorm I am very much basking in the glow of these comments as I have been overweight since I was nine years old. Before that I was a skinny kid. Ever since I was in grade three, I have been mocked for being fat. The fact that I don't have a bubbly personality, and I am quite a competitive girl, didn't really earn me a lot of socialization points. In high school and college, although I have mellowed a bit, I didn't have much of a lovelife. I learned how to cook in college, and I my condo was surrounded by fastfood chains and restaurants which led me to gain so much weight that at my fattest I had a 38 (YUS! 38!) waistline, and weighed almost 150 lbs. The…
You Changed My Life
My cousin asked me to blog so here goes... The title suggests I watched the John Lloyd - Sarah movie. I did. And I can't think of a more creative title for this post. So... Whatever! I watched the movie coz 1) I love John Lloyd, 2) my bestfriend who idolizes Robin Padilla loves the movie so I got intrigued, and 3) I wanted to feel kilig even for just an hour or so. The movie is good and lives up to expectations. I don't get why it got an A though. The story is good, the lines were memorable, the direction, cinematography, and editing were ok. John Lloyd was adorable. He was cute, lovable, and made me believe he is all in love but confused and desired to please his family. He was good but there's nothing new or shocking to his performance. Sarah is surprisingly good. I didn't watch the first movie so her acting kinda shocked me. Her Laida is miles away from her Bituing Walang Ningning character (which I liked) but she delivered. Me thinks she can act well. The rest of the cast were good as well. Even the Laguna factory workers. What I really…
Poker Face
A few days after comparing my love/relationship skills to how I play poker, I saw this music video... How timely! Here's the lyrics to Radio Gaga's Poker Face: POKER FACE Radio Gaga Mum mum mum mah Mum mum mum mah I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas Plays Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it) Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh I'll get him hot, show him what I've got Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh, I'll get him hot, show him what I've got Can't read my, Can't read my No he can't read my poker face (she’s got to love nobody) Can't read my Can't read my No he can't read my poker face (she’s got to love nobody) P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah) P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah) I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be A little gambling is fun when you're with me I love it) Russian Roulette is not the same without…
