Seems almost everyone's been caught up with their own stuff recently. Work. Life. Family. Friends. "Me"-Time. And everything else. ^^

♥ Shim Changmin's supposed to have started shooting his drama in Jeju. Based on the schedule shared earlier. But he's been seen once or twice strolling the streets of Seoul. And nope. Not for a shoot or anything. Well. It's still good. Glad to know my son he is getting himself some sunshine. And some of rest time too. He definitely deserves it. My Changmin~

♥ Jung Yunho's acting career, "serious" this time, has finally debuted on once in a lifetime 09/09/09. And in the two episodes shown to date, I've only seen him sing like a retard and shout "Thank You! Thank You!" afterwards. So far, so good. And Cha Bong Gun in super HD, ridiculously huge at 2.1 GB, should be amazing to watch. Omo~

♥ Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun have been spreading melody and harmony as Jejung and Yuchun from Tohoshinki. Oh. The friendship of those never fails to . Add to that, they're sort of promoting my eternal favorite, Hello Kitty. I couldn't be any happier. Must find that very fab Hello Kitty Shoulder Bag in a nice shade of green. Just thinking about it makes me drool. Aiyo~

♥ Kim Junsu is nowhere to be found. Sadly enough. Seriously hoping though that he tagged along his bestfriend, Eunhyuk, and is now strolling the streets of Paris, showing him around. Free of worries. Enjoying. Relaxing. Well. Whatever it is that he's been up too lately, I hope he's doing well too. I know he is. My Junsu~

♥ Choi Siwon recently spent some his much needed vacation in Taiwan with my in-laws his family. Just in time before SuJu-M's new album and comeback. Funny how he looks like he lost some weight in the promotional pics which recently came out when he's all puffed and chubby during their HK Photoshoot last month. Someone's been busy all over again I guess. And though I'm 3 years his senior... Oppa! Hwaiting~

♥ Lee Minho's apparently in Singapore now to endorse some brand. And he'll be back in October to do sort of a fanmeeting. 10-ish, news said. Hmmm. Interesting. Still disappointed and heartbroken with BoF ending here in the Philippines and the cast not even paying a visit. Lack of fanbase and funds, probably. But yeah. In a month's time. Perfect for a quarter-life celebration. Just a three-hour flight away. Tempting, really. Oh no. What to do?! Here I go again. Goo Jun Pyo~

So I guess, here's my take. Almost saw it coming. But not this soon. Well. Time flies fast. And this must be done. ^^;

A lot of things going on for the past days. And a lot more lined-up. Occasional ranting now done in Twitter. My recent vent-out place. Will be gone for a while to sort things out first. Work and life are more demanding now than ever. But yeah. Will definitely be back. xD

The Flu Shot I had last Saturday should be good enough to spare me from the dreadful A(H1N1). The sudden changes in weather is perfect to give me the usual colds and flu though. Darn. >.<

*sniff* *sniff* Now's definitely not a good time to get sick. *sniff* *sniff*

Almost 5,000 mg of Vitamin C, a gallon of water and a lot more to go. Oh. God. Help me. T_T

Seriously, I adore David Cook to bits. ♥ Particularly during the latter half of American Idol Season 7, I see to it that I get to watch his every performance and go download his song, both recorded and live, as soon as they get released. And really, he got me with his version of "Always Be My Baby". ^^;

I think I got more hooked after he officially became America's 7th Idol. Immediately adding him in his Official Myspace Account after his win, with less than a hundred friends back then, it was a suprise to me that he quickly accepted my request and even included me in his Top Friends List. And suprisingly, until now, I still am. T_T

When I first heard the news he was just surprised with how much his fanbase in Manila is, with the success of his "Always Be My Baby", and was interested to pay a visit, I was just teary-eyed ecstatic. From the rumored January to being moved officially to May, I was happy that my Dear David is sure to come and sing for me. Some months back, I assured myself, I'm gonna make things happen. Well. That's what I initially planned. -_-

Maybe because I just have sooo much going on with my life, work, other fandoms and everything else, the weeks and months passed me by without me realizing the big event's just around the corner. Magic 89.9, GMA 7 Studio, EDSA Shangri-La and SM North EDSA would have been incredibly easy Meet 'n Greet chances for me. And yes, both Davids are checked-in just across the street, a pedestrian crossing away from my office building. But... NO. All the amount of resources, contacts and opportunities I have, which I only get to realize the other day, simply got wasted and went down the drain. As I've told jhing_tearjerky while wallowing in my own sort of "mess", this is sooo depressing. Where have all my fangirl stalking skills luck gone?! T_T

And so, tonight's the NIGHT. Instead of me spending a paycheck or two just so I can go and see him somewhere else, here he is, already in Manila, coming a long way and going through miles. If not for xiao_tian_jelly, I probably won't have the chance to see him perform live. And sad to say, I haven't familiarized myself with his entire solo album yet which I only downloaded over the net. What's wrong with me?! x_x

I know for a fact though that my David Roland Cook won't disappoint me later. He'll surely swoon me all over again, even knock me over my feet. Standing tickets, Baby! Expecting the worst but definitely hoping for the best. Some effort but definitely worth it. Now, let me get back and pimp myself some David A. & David C. Songs. Lots of catching up to do. Oh. ♥

→ Final Weigh In for Biggest Loser last week. 22 pounds down, baby! Woot! Woot! And now, I munch, crunch and catch up with a handful of yummy Choco Truffles. Oh yeah! xD

→ It sucks when you do not get the service for what you pay for. Crappy PLDT Support left me with no Internet at home for almost 4 grueling days. I was only requesting a DSL downgrade, not a complete line disconnection. Booness. Competitive people at work have all gone mad and most are already ahead of me in Restaurant City. To think I was leading the bunch for the past weeks. Lots of catching up to do. Crappy. T_T

→ Extraordinary together than ordinary apart. I seriously envy Judy Ann. She's just sooo happy in her sooo-lovely-yet-sooo-simple wedding. Her groom looks like he won the lottery too. Oh. I pray for my own Ryan... Soon? ^^;

→ Filipinos are definitely not affected by the recession. 3-Day Sale almost everywhere. Malls ridiculously filled with people. And temptation's definitely hard to resist, some cute accessories and a spanking new travel luggage in fuschia pink were must-haves. Rawrrr. xD

→ "I am happy that everytime I fight, there's no krimen in the Philippines." - Manny Pacquiao, CNN Talk Asia. OMG. Manny and his English adorable as always. And yesterday, almost every friend's status in Facebook says how Manny has beaten The Hitman. Knock-out on just the 2nd Round. Wow. I bet he's gonna be my lunch, snack and dinner at work probably until the end of this week. News about the fight gonna be the "in" talk, that is. @_@

→ David-David Concert in a matter of weeks. Budget + Priorities. Need vs. Want. Oh no. What to do?! T_T

→ "She loved me at my worst. You had me at my best." Popoy and Basya for the nth time. It's amusing how I practically know what the next line's gonna be. Lloydy. ♥

→ Maximizing Work From Home Privileges. Must get by some more days 'til payday. One bill down, another one to go. Plus, gotta save up for the rainy days. ^^;

→ BKK & DBSK. One thing falls into place. Then another crumbles all over. Major headache with trip planning and everything else. Why does it have to be sooo hard? I just want to see them boys do "Sky" and "넌 나의 노래 (You're My Melody)" live. Seriously. T_T

→ The long weekend was the perfect time to reflect on things. Step 1: Goal Setting. Step 2: Start Today. Step 3: No Shortcuts. Step 4: Be Inspired. Step 5: Be Happy. Better things on their way, hopefully. ^^

This is just like what I do as a Project Manager. Just more engaging and definitely five times more fun. RC@FB. Oh. ♥

Almost everyone in my team's as hooked as I am. The cool younger bunch, that is. Funny how most of them created accounts just so they can catch up with the hype. And really, the competitiveness is pretty amazing. ^^

If you have an account in Facebook, playing Restaurant City and have some spare time, please do visit. We can probably trade some ingredients too. In dire need of salad and a couple of potatoes as of the moment. xD

I'm still thinking if I'd ride the Pet Society bandwagon too. It's quite a handful with RC already. Back in college, I remember not getting enough sleep on a school night just to finish all, and really challenging, levels in Diner Dash and Text Twist. Gah. I miss those games. I'll probably go and look for them once I get some spare time. But. Hmmm. Right now, with RC and all... Impossible. ^^;

Can't believe it's almost over. My 9-day vacation, that is. -_-

Still feel fairly accomplished though there are still some other things left to do. Friends Meet-Up... Check! Mini-Teambuilding... Check! Church Activities... Check! Hard Drive Clean-Up... Check! PC Reformat... Check! Trip Costings & Initial Itinerary... Check! Career Planning... Check! "Boys Over Flowers" Ending... Check! Fandom Backlogs & Downloads... Check! Sleep, Sleep & Sleep... Check! ♥

Off to meet the girls in a while and make the most out of my long break's last day. It's gonna be a while since another long holiday. *sigh*

After a day in Enchanted Kingdom, you realize you're getting old when... ^^

→ You tend to be more patient. Under the scorching heat, waiting in queue and taking one ride at a time. Even being extremely calm under pressure. Having fun talks under the shade while waiting for your colleague's laptop to boot with successive critical pages coming in your mobile. Talk about perfect timing.

→ You are a bit thankful the Space Shuttle's down for maintenance that day. Being the oldest in the bunch, you won't need then to show the younger peeps you're with that you're definitely not a wimp.

→ Flashbacks keep on coming while you are seated in the Flying Fiesta. Hearing the chains clatter makes you paranoid and all that. If worse comes to worst, you know it's gonna be a high and hard fall.

→ You suddenly find Roller Skater thrilling more than you used to. Even willing to ride it gazillion times consecutively.

→ Taking a Bump Car at the Dodgem reminds you how you've been wanting to learn to drive. Even though it's none of your plans to go and get your own car soon, it's just one of those things you gotta know how to do.

→ Being all wet after riding the Rio Grande and letting your clothes dry naturally left you feeling cold and chilly. You suddenly feel your muscles ache twice or thrice too.

→ Stopping at the top of the Wheel of Fate for some 5 minutes or so makes you wanna go and do a Bucket List when you get home. Kind of a Top-10-Things-To-Do-Before-You-Die List.

→ The Grand Carousel is one of the most deceiving rides ever. Round and round it goes. And so is whatever you look at afterwards.

→ Jump shots are love but are just darn tiring to do. Getting that perfect shot would entail you having to jump at least a couple of hundred times. You just eventually give up ending up with a blurry one.

→ After resting and getting some sleep, you still feel dizzy, nauseated and all that. You seem to have lost your arms and legs too.

And even after all these, you know you had sooo much fun you are still willing to go back. Just because. ^^;

Halfway through my 9-day vaca! Almost 5 days fairly spent with friends and some much needed sleep. And really, it's been a long time since I've slept this much. Oh. ♥

Now, off to go and take care of the bills and some other errands. There's still sooo much stuff to do. Non-work, that is. ^^

→ Feeling accomplished getting my, what seemed to be irreparable, PC fixed on my own. After almost a day of going through jargons and the like, I finally got it to work. Yey! Kinda missed these technical stuff. I was a ComSci Student after all. Geeky? A bit. ^^;

→ Seriously looking for the perfect R&R to spend the coming one-week vaca wisely. Current choices are Sagada, Rizal, Ilocos and Bohol. Hmmm. I'm torn. x_x

→ Knowing "Boys Over Flowers" is set to air in local TV soon c/o ABS-CBN brings tears of unexplainable happiness to my eyes. Lee Min Ho... Am I gonna see you soon? Thinking about the possibilities is already making me restless. Is this another Wookie moment in the making? I sure hope so. T_T

→ SuJu Comeback! Live Perfs played on loop since yesterday. Being addicted is an understatement. Choi Shiwon... I do! I do! I do! ♥

→ Countdown to 6 grueling months starts tomorrow. I seriously hope I've made the right decision. Good things come to those who wait. Then, I shall patiently wait. -_-

Last night's has got to be one of the weirdest dreams to date. First scene was me going out of town with my teammates for a much needed R&R. Next thing I know, I was already French kissing Super Junior's Shiwon under the bright moonlight. OMG. x_x

13eyond Imagination... ♥

Some years back, having 13 boys in one group was just ridiculous to me. Even getting to know all of them seemed impossible back then. Or so I thought. Now, I can name them all in a heartbeat. Heechul. Hankyung. Donghae. Kangin. Leeteuk. Ryeowook. Shindong. Sungmin. Yesung. Eunhyuk. Kyuhyun. Kibum. Shiwon. And even recognize the voices in the songs too. ^^;

"Sorry, Sorry... Shawty, Shawty". What's up with SM and its artists going euro-club-ish? The song previews are so far ok, some I already love. "Why I Like You" is already on loop. The main song's upbeat and really catchy too. Interesting how it's gonna be done with the dance steps and all. Kyuhyun-Ssi... You can do it. ^^;

Comeback Special starts tomorrow. SuJu! Fighting! ♥

Manila's currently scorching at 32 °C. And we haven't even gone halfway through March. Going to work for the past days has been a pain already. The long walks under the burning sun on my way to the office is making me dizzy, giving me headaches and all that. Working from home's not much of a plus either. Staying at home checking my Inbox is much like working inside a sauna. I'm afraid I might not be able to take the heat come the actual summer months. Oh no. T_T

If having my own Goo Jun Pyo's too much to ask for, a Miggy Montenegro will definitely do. Aiyo. ♥

You changed my life in a moment...
And I'll never be the same again.
You changed my life in a moment...
And it's hard for me to understand.



♥

With the touch of your hand...
In a moment in time...
All my sorrow is gone.

Before anything else... Of course, this has to be done. ^^;

Though I personally think the first one's better, I still love this movie. More serious issues to deal with this time around. Personal Goals. Priorities. Time. Conflicts. Decisions. Future Plans. Add to that the former high school sweetheart making up for the lost time. >.<

And yet, there are still those kilig moments making me smile and go "Awww." all over. Power Hug, Power Kiss and the classic Sundance FTW. The fireworks and balloons swooning were just heartwarming. A feel-good movie nonetheless. And of course, there's John Lloyd Cruz. More than enough reason to love the movie his much. ♥

And. OMG. Rayver Cruz. The boy's not only a fine dancer, he can sing too. I think it was more than once that I find myself sighing over the kid's super nice smile. Oh no. Gotta find that picture I had with him some years back. I can still remember how good he smelled then. Hmmm. ^^;

Thanks Dear Friends for the wonderful time spazzing all over Lloydy and Rayver today. You know who you gurls are. ♥ Second viewing with teammates on Wednesday morning before work. Oh Lloydy... What have you done to me? ^^;

Some random boy musings before work eats me again in the coming week. @_@

→ Boys Over Flowers Episode 14 is the most heartbreaking one ever. My tearducts almost gave up on me. Goo Jun Pyo... Why so cold?! T_T I still want you though. Or someone like you will do. ♥

→ Jonas Brothers. Not really a fan but their recent Ellen Guesting made me think otherwise. Blindfolded Musical Chairs was just sooo hilarious. And I think I'm beginning to like Nick, the quiet and the youngest one. I'm not surprised, I just have a weakness with that kind of guy. Am I going to watch their 3D Movie? I just might. ♥

→ Cost vs. Worth. The Girl in the Green Scarf. "Confessions of a Shopaholic". Found the movie amusing and incredibly funny. And yes, there's the irresistible knight in shining armor. Luke Brandon played by Hugh Dancy. An Orlando Bloom look-alike with that unmistakable British Accent too. Good heavens. ♥

→ "I love a person the best way I know how to." OMG. I hate you, John Lloyd Cruz. I hate you. T_T I'm still gonna see you on Tuesday though. I have to. ♥

→ 2 Nights of Mirotic Seoul Leg Fancams Overload. "Crazy Love" man to man dancing. Butt slapping and missed dance steps during "Sky". And this has got to be one of the classics... Changmin caught off guard, accused of watching porn. His stares seem like he wanted to strangle his Hyungs. I'm a proud Mama, nonetheless. So manly. Aiyo. ♥

→ New Page & Welcome Banners right here. Oh. Such fine and gorgeous men. ♥

The past weekends have really been a ME-time. Sleeping. Watching TV. Sleeping. Catching up on fandom. Sleeping. Watching TV. Sleeping. Now that's my kind of pampering. And I'm not even spending anything. Wooot! Wooot! Things have become almost like a routine. I love it. ^^

And while I went to visit the usual sites today, I came across these. Lovely emoticons. Just did some patching here and there. Kawaii! ♥

♥♥♥

Then, it hit me. Again. I haven't seem them for... Ages. :( It actually took me quite a while to realize I am still not going to see them. Well, not anytime soon. T_T

The determination I had to scour for low packages, airfares and hotel rates during the first weeks of January was something I myself was surprised with though. All the trouble of calling travel agents, making reservations and the works. I didn't even consider that leaving for work that long would probably get me in trouble. If only that motivation was enough to bring me face to face with the SM Town Gang, I bet I'd already there even a week before the event. @_@

But then again, things had to happen. All the drama at home. All the changes at work. Some really trying times. In contrast to how long I have been trying to make this trip work, in a blink of an eye, my sister and I were left with no other choice but to wait for next year's tour. Exactly a week before the 7th, now I have learned to accept... We're not going. And that's just final. T_T

"If there's a will, there's a way." I have always been a firm believer of this saying. However, there are just times when life just slaps you in the face and you certainly know things ain't gonna happen no matter how much you want them to. I know, it's gonna be hard to see those fancams and airport pics. But I also know, February 7, 2009 is just one of those days and I'll get over everything. I will move on. -_-

The only problem I'm left with is... I miss them five. Badly. Gah. The longing hurts. *sigh*

Because as busy as I may seem, I give my best not to forget. ^^;

Aitakutemo. Aitakutemo.
Matterukara tada wasurenaide.

Just to see you. Just to see you.
Please don't forget. I'm waiting for you.



Kokoni iru yo wasurenaide.

Please don’t forget. I am here.

Keeping it true. Keeping it real.
Hope to the end. So be it.

♥ 생일 축하해 ♥ 사랑해 ♥

And clearly, I am not a good drinker as the infamous Kim Jaejoong. A terrible heardache plus a bad heartbreak is definitely not a good combination. I've never thought one Lemondrop Martini'd get the best of me and hit THIS me good. Meds please. Omo. x_x

Fifth Episode aired some hours ago. And I wanna go home to go download and watch it. Like... Right now. T_T

♥ ♥ ♥

I've been spazzing too much about Lee Minho lately. Even lost count on how many times I've already seen the first four Epis. I just think he portrays Goo Jun Pyo perfectly. OMG. I want him. Seriously. T_T

Manga, Chinovela, J-Dorama... Of them four gorgeous boys, I've always rooted for the silent and reserved one. Rui. Lei. Falling in love at first sight, there's no question that my heart instantly belongs to him. ♥

But. But. But. The Korean Version's seriously giving me a hard time. T_T

Daring. Short-Tempered. Gun Pyo. ♥



Charming. Mysterious. Ji Hoo. ♥

See. Now, can you blame me for being all confused like this? Tell me. x_x

On to the 4th Episode tonight. Thank you wonderful subber for being incredibly fast and generous. And because I can't help it, while downloading, I've been sneaking a peek at the first few minutes. Especially this part. ^^;

( Weakness... x_x )

How I love men in bonnets. I can feel my stomach twitch. My knees are getting weak. I think someone already won me in this episode. Aiyo. ♥

For future reference. Mirotic Concert Tour Planning to be exact. ^^;

And if I remember correctly, my beloved company made some adjustments to make up for the excess work days we had last year resulting to a super long break in April. Wooot! Wooot! ♥

'Yun ay kung... Basta. ^^;

Cebu Pacific Sale + Tour Schedule... Now, that's all I'm asking for. ^^

Got the invitation just yesterday. After 10 years, my Team Lead's getting hitched on the 25th with his sweetheart since high school. Awww. Now, that's forever. I've met the girl and she's really nice and pretty too. I'm truly happy for them both. ♥

Attire's strictly formal. Now, there goes the problem. It's been ago since the last time I've attended one. Stores don't have anything that'd fit me. My last resort, I'll have mine custom-made. Handy neighbor's a tailor, wonderful at working under time pressure. 5 days to a week is enough for her to make me a beautiful formal dress. ^^

On to the Math, wedding's on the 25th and today's the 7th. Given that she needs to work on the dress 7 days max, including repairs and all that, I'm left with just about 10 days to work on my stuff. Yes. Stuff. Because I'm stuffed. T_T The long holiday break helped my drained brain but failed my body stats. The weighing scale at home's broken so I have no idea how much I weigh now. And no, I didn't break it. Promise. T_T

So there. 10 days with 10 options to make a miracle. Oh. What to do?! x_x

( Eeny Meeny Miney Moo... @_@ )

10 choices and I still don't know what to do. Whatever it is starts today. One huge "Good Luck!" to me. x_x
