I did it! I finally finished watching Jumong, all 81 episodes! This is a big accomplishment from someone who starts getting antsy after 10 episodes of a Korean drama. So, how did I do it? Three words: Song.Il.Gook. Though, I only think he's hot when he's wearing his Jumong ensemble. (Anyone know who played "Songju" on the show? He's hot, too.)
I felt like half of my life passed by watching that show and I'm sure reading all those subtitles during a span of 6 months did something to my eyesight. I think I'll go ahead and find a new hobby for spring and summer; let's save Jewel in the Palace for next fall and winter. ;P

Destination Nations
For the heck of it, I decided to check out Cebu Pacific's web site, my partner-in-crime during my Wow Philippines travels, and see what's new over there. I can't believe they added more destinations since I left! They now serve Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Guangzhou, Macau, Shanghai, Xiamen, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, and Kaoshiung!
Goodness! I could've finished my Asia goal this decade for a fraction of the cost if I had stayed a little bit longer in the Philippines! (And can you believe the number of Starbucks City Mugs I would've collected? HaHa!) *SIGH. You win some, you lose some nga naman.

TV Special
I just saw the "KC from Paris to Pinas" special for the first time. Hmmm...I'm inspired to do a "Mina from Pinas to Seattle" one (yes, feeling ka-level ko si KC. HaHa!). This reminds me that I still haven't uploaded all of my SE Asia pics. Sana naman before the one-year anniversary e magawa ko na rin yun.

Kasal, Kasal Ko, Kasal Nila
I spent the last three hours or so just watching Filipino wedding videos on YouTube, thanks to Raissa's and Pen's bad influence. The result? Naiyak ako...naiyak ako dahil hindi ganyang ka-gwapo ang mga naging ka-date ko sa Pilipinas in the almost two years that I was there.
At kung may hihirit ng "Bakit, maganda ka ba?" Aba, oo, maganda ako, magandang maganda. HaHa!
On a serious note, I still haven't been praying to God about "that person." Super tigas ng ulo, di ba? I actually have this touching explanation regarding this which I've told Ate Gemma one time at work. But explanations and excuses aside, I guess it's true that you really have to believe that you, yourself, deserve a great husband in order for it to come true. And I think that's what I need to work on more than anything else. Uy, finally, naka-emote na ulit about this subject. HaHa!
Sana lang that by the time that I do get married, eh meron pa rin akong kakilala na single pa rin to be my Maid of Honor. HeHe! Nauunahan na talaga ng lahat eh! I even saw the wedding video of a guy who I went out on a date with in Pinas. Hello?! Kung ka-batch ko kayong single, you're not allowed to get married yet! ;P

Poking Fun
I've always been against meeting strangers on social networking sites so whenever someone sends a message or asks to be added as my friend, I always just ignore him. But a couple of months ago while researching at work, I read this one article that made me re-think about my antipatika ways.
The gist of it was that you do have to add these "potential friends". If you're just going to stick with just having your real-life friends in your network, then you're back to square one: you already know the people you know. You don't need a third-party site to communicate with them; you can just e-mail them yourself. And if you're unhappy about the people that you already know (insert laugh here), then here's your chance to meet others to replace them (insert bigger laugh here). Talagang napa-hmmm ako duon.
So despite my little epiphany of two months ago, I was still ignoring those stranger-sters. What can I say, old habits die hard...at hindi sila pogi. HaHa! However, the other night, someone sent a smile...at may potential ang bata ha. I was telling Raissa last night that I don't look for geeks, they find me. HaHa! Anyway, so regardless of how dorky I think the "Send a Smile" option is on Friendster, what the hell are you supposed to do when someone does send you a smile? I swear, I'm sitting here baffled about this 21st century phenomenon of poking people online and sending smiles. It's like when guys used to send @->->-- back in the day. Crap, I think I just dated myself with that little tidbit. HaHa!
