Cruel World

High: Tennis Thursdays at work started today for the Spring Quarter. The instructor was hooooot...but married of course. I also realized that sweating profusely in front of a hot guy isn't a good thing. But hey, he's married. And I'm digging this morning exercise idea. Too bad it's only once a week.

Low: I got hit on by a 23-year-old during happy hour today. This, people, is another reason why I'm single.

Staying Alive

Observation for the day: The Philippines is singlehandedly putting food on the table for 1980s artists. I wonder if one-hit wonders from that era know that half-way around the world, there's a country that has local artists singing their songs every week...and it's 2008!

Jumong-ed Out

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.
