Annyeong!  It's been a while since I last updated this blog. I've been too occupied with a new hobby (journaling) while trying to squeeze in my watercolor practice sessions, watching Korean dramas and being a wife. And before the new year embrace us, I'm sharing a breakdown on how I survived my SEOUL trip last October with just less that 20K PHP on hand. a glimpse of my expenses from my Korea trip. The whole trip costs me Php 18,820 including airfare, hotel, food, landmark entrance fees, souvenirs and other miscellaneous. Well, the amount is a bit higher than...

I have always been fascinated with Asian countries. And part of it is the land of BB creams, kimchis and Hallyu wave ~ South Korea. Blame it on their Korean Pop music, their girl and boybands/groups, the Korean dramas and films etc. From then on, South Korea became one of my dream destinations. And that dream came true when I finally visited the Land of the Morning Calm last two weeks ago. Weeeeeee! The famous Gyeongbokgung Palace Now I understand why most of the fangirls I know kept returning in Korea. And I will definitely come back again on...

We still don't know what happened. I've been up all night thinking what went wrong with my fiance's documents, that he was denied of getting a South Korean visa. I really don't know. For a Hallyu fan like me, visiting the Land of the Morning Calm aka KPop Nation, is a dream come true. Everyone knows how I've been dying to set foot in Korea. My boss even persuaded me to book a ticket because she knows that I'm not getting any younger and I need to experience the world (FYI, she visits Korea every year). I was...

Hey! It's been a while! Too many things happened for the past months that I did not have time to blog. I was too lazy to make a post here as there were lot of things I needed to accomplish.  Anyway, I'm back again to blog about my upcoming wedding. Yes. We only have a 100 days before tying the knot. And we never thought that it will be this stressful, despite the early preparation we had. I should feel excitement, but as days passed by, exhaustion is killing me. Most of the suppliers I've been eyeing were...

It's been a week. But the hangover is still there... For a country dominated by Korean pop culture, inviting a huge Japanese band was never easy. I remember a conversation from a fellow JPop fangirl, that some agencies are not that convinced with our market to hold a concert or fan event in the Philippines. Hence, it will be too risky for them to have such investment. But who would have thought that after numerous attempts and countless petitions of fans and supporters, our dream will finally come true. ONE OK ROCK, a Japanese rock band consist of...

Are you still okay?  I've been planning to write a decent fan account / blog post about One OK Rock's awesome concert. But how can I start if I can't move on? I tried writing a draft but I can't think of anything. It's been three freaking' days! Anyway, here's a short entry from the event. I'll be posting the write-up as soon as my sanity is back LOL ==== This is by far, the best concert I've attended.  As soon as Taka held his microphone and Tomoya, Ryota and Toru started playing, I can't help but scream, jump,...
