I told you on my previous post that me and my office mates are into Asian food trippin' for the coming days. And today, as promised, bhoyet treated us for a Japanese food (again :P). Plan A is to eat at ARIAKE, but the resto is not open yet during that time so there, we decided to eat at TEriyaki for the nth times. Can't imagine life without JAPANESE food :x We ate lunch at teriyaki boy (the place to be). I really love the ambiance of this restaurant and of course the food, oh my, mouth-watering and so delish. I ordered chicken karaage bento and chawan mushi. Then they ordered the other bento's available like the seafood, fish, chicken teriyaki don, plus sashimi. I did not try the sashimi, I don't think I can handle raw seafood. But anyway, you gotta love tthe chawsan mushi, specially the shrimp in it. I can't really explain the taste, coz there is something about it that it can make you forget your name (LOL).
Chicken Karaage Bento
Chawan Mushi
Us at T-BOY
Oh well, lunch at T-Boy is of course a two-thumbs up. I wonder where would be our next stop? Any suggestion for an Asian Cuisine Adventure?

Everything in this world are not permanent so we must live life to the fullest and do the things that we can now. Last Monday I received a very sad message in friendster. The message came from a friend whom I met through my sister. My friend told me that his 2-month old baby girl passed away and somehow I also felt the pain that he is going through. His baby was born with heart problem but her parents fight for her until the end. But now, God has taken back an angel that he once gave them. I know it is hard to accept this easily, but I am praying that he and his wife will have the strength to endure the pain. With what has happened to them, I remember a thing that I have written way back 2006.
Life is full of pain and suffering. Everything that we do involves pain. That life is full of pain is already a universally-accepted truth. From the moment we were conceived until we die, everyone experiences pain. And what causes these pains that we get along with in life is the fact the we desire infinitely. We get something but we strive to get more. And because we want to get more, we work harder, and in the end, suffer greater. But Buddha points out that the only way to end these pain is to give up our desires. And in the end, after we experience the eight-fold path can we only experience real happiness.
In life, people of today preoccupy themselves with a lot of things so that they would feel a great sense of being. Most of us believe that what defines our humanity is how much we have done in the past, how much we are doing in the present, and how much we are planning to do in the future. there is an emphasis on doing rather than being. We feel a great sense of urgency to keep ourselves busy so that we could experience a great sense of worthiness. But in the end people would complain that life has been very difficult and painful for them. What we do not realize is the fact that what makes life difficult is our desires. Our desire to work infinitely to please everybody makes life harder for us. (Or maybe we don't have the time to reflect because we are so preoccupied with busyness?) Pain comes from not being contented with life alone but rather asking more of what life has to offer. We search for infinite capabilities though we are finite beings. We ought to live like we will not die but in the end we will feel that we are dying without having lived.
What we are can never be defined by HOW MUCH we have done but by WHAT we have done. It is not a matter of quantity but of quality. Choosing the good in everything that we do is one thing and is already enough. Exerting a lot of effort to make people appreciate you for all your deeds would be an entirely different thing.
It is not bad to desire. In fact it is what keeps us focused and directed in our life. Yes, because of these desires we experience pain but it is also essential to our life. And in our desire to do the good we experience pain—a needed pain.
Giving up our desires—the unnecessary ones, will make our life a lot less complicated, and a lot more enjoyable. Because when we give up our unneeded wants and when we start to not preoccupy ourselves with a lot of work can we only see the beauty of our life and of our world. Then we can reflect on things which are essential to us—on doing what is right.
Yay sorry if this blog is being congested by 2ne1 posts, but I just can't help it. Promise, I am really trying to avoid this addiction, but, there is something in this girl group that made me crazy over them. Anyway, finally the much awaited interview by a Filipino host (BIANCA GONZALES) was already aired on Entertainment Live. And guess what, I am such an avid fan with Miszha. I was shouting all along and then our baby Miszha shouted with me. Too bad we did not able to take a video of her. Miszha even do their dance moves when she saw 2NE1 on tv. Bianca interviewed Dara and it's so funny seeing Minzy looking so confused. I love it when they introduced themselves in our language(kekeke) and of course the famous Sandara Park wave while saying "MAHAL KO KAYO". Isn't that cute. I wonder when will they visit the country? I am sure that their Filipino fans are waiting for them to have a concert tour here. So calling Mr YG!! Anyway, congratulations 2ne1 for winning MNET countdown for their "I DON'T CARE" single. I even watched their 2ne1tv via youtube.com with and without subs. Oh I can't get enough of them. Here is their latest video at BNT News - 2NE1 at Seoul Character Licensing Fair with the characters of another famous group BIGBANG (sunbae).

After the amazing start of 2ne1 with Sandara Park in Korea, the girl group has now been invading the Philippines and other countries with their fashion trends, music and sounds and of course their MINI-ALBUM, which unfortunately not available in our store. 2ne1 songs fire are now played on different radio stations and hit the number one spot on MYX charts. The Korean setting and language never stopped Filipinos to love their music. Aside from 2ne1, Boys Over Flowers is also considered as a phenomenon in the country. As an evidence of the popularity of 2ne1 and Boys Over Flowers, Bianca Gonzales visited Korea to find good stuffs that they gave on their Entertainment Live audience last Saturday. Of course, Bianca also interviewed Sandara in the latest peek on 2ne1 TV. I hope I can watch the full interview. Take a look on a 5-second peek of that interview with Dara.
Yesterday, I had the chance to talk with my cousin who is in Africa, as a seaman. He will be going home this August and I am so excited of his pasalubong, Kidding, of course I am also excited to see him. One of the reasons why he will be back here in the country is to meet someone whom I introduced to him as a text mate. My cousins 5-year relationship ended up this year and since he wanted to meet someone new, he asked me if I have a friend whom he can text and exchange infos to. Oh well, things happened so fast and now, my cousin is very excited to go home to meet her personally. I hope this is something that will blossom into a good relationship: friendship and more than that. I guess it's up to him now, I have done my parts for introducing them.
By the way, I just remembered that I have been visible in the online world since 2004 and by then I have been active in using friendster and other social networks just to gain friends.
This just shows how I am addicted in friendster chats during those times. sad to say that some of them are now inactive. But I am glad that through this online world I have met some of the people that I consider as my soulmates.

I told you, I will never get tired of posting about 2ne1. Well, these girls surprisingly amazes every people globally. I know, I may sound so exaggerated and all, but since their debut single were released these girls never stopped to show that they deserve every awards that they received and the popularity that they are gaining around the blogosphere and the entire World Wide Web. These ladies were composed of Dara (former actress in the Philippines), CL, Minzy and Park Bom, each of them have their share of talents which complements the group. These KPOP groups has now been captivating the hearts of millions of fans around the globe and since they launch, these ladies are continuously receiving various awards:
Cyworld: Rookie Of the Month
Cyworld: Song of the month "Lollipop" (April)
Cyworld: Song of the month "Fire" (May)
1st SBS Inkigayo Mutizen
2nd SBS Inkigayo Mutizen
1st KBS Music Bank
Every songs in their mini-album, are very ear-catching and even though the lyrics are in Korean, people are still singing the songs. I know these girls will have a great path and this year I can say that 2ne1 ROCKS.
Never been an avid fan of a girl group until 2ne1 came. I first saw them at their lollipop video, with BIG BANG to promote the new mobile phone craze by LG. From that I instantly became an addict (oh yeah I admit). I always watched it along with my niece (MISZHA) and do you know that Miszha got addicted to it as well, she even do some of their dance moves.
Oh well, I even watched and listen all the performances of 2ne1, from their English (mostly rihanna’s) covers to their Korean tracks like Fire. I also fell in love with their performance of Say goodbye by Chris Brown and put it in my play list. Now they are out with their mini-album and guess what, I am one of those who are waiting for this to be released, especially the Music video of “I don’t Care”. Believe me, I memorized Fire and even eager to memorize I don’t care, even though I don’t understand it (LOL, i’m such a freakin’ fanatic!). Aside from their singing and dancing skills, they also have strong fashion sense and statements (which they owe a lot from my beloved G-Dragon sunbae). Oh my, I can’t help it, I am one of their millions of fans who are always watching all their videos at youtube and other forums.. And I can tell you their perf for this one, superb and excellent. Love their styles from music down to fashion.
Wish to see more of their performances and vocal prowess. Anyway, if you ask me who’s my favorite? no less than, Dara, love the way she projects on cam!
I guess that would be all for now. Till my next post about 2ne1.
I was supposed to show you how addicted our baby MISZHA with 2ne1, but sad to say, I am still formatting the video, so I'll just give you some update with what's happening on my world. Oh well, I just want to know how you feel, if someone tell you that you are insecure with other person and that the one that you love is still in-love with his ex? At first, I felt so annoyed since honie and I were together for 8 years and after those struggling starting years of us being a couple, a new issue emerged. But somehow, I just learned to laugh at it. Yes, after knowing it, I told these to honie and from that day, honie never fails to show how much he loves me. On a positive note, this issue made our relationship stronger and thanks to the one who said it, because I learned to be more matured now. Though, I admit I got affected by it but on a lighter side, learned something from this (weird).
Anyway, I just learned a while ago that there are people who are talking about me at plurk, 'twas a year ago (wow I love the attention). Seriously, it's about my age. Well, people, I am not denying that I am not getting any younger now and it's not my fault if some of you thinks of me like I am 20 years old. Actually, this issue flatters me a lot. Now I know that I look younger than my age (isn't it great?) . I think when you have positive outlook in life, it just reflects on your looks. One thing I admit is that I still do babytalkin' and do some childish acts and I do it to annoy honieI'm such a dork.
To know me more, i will show you the result of the personality test that I have done. By the way, I saw this at Kaye's site and I gave it a try. Here is the result.
Yes, honie and i celebrated our 8th year anniversary last July 3, 2009. I'll just give you a little trivia about this date. Well,'twas July 3, 2001 when honie broke up with his ex-girlfriend and that was also the exact date when we became officially on. Yes, weird but true!. So anyway, let's go back to the celebration, of course such wonderful date didn't end just that. Honie and I even have some extended celeb with some of our friends. We watched, VILLA ESTRELLA (a horror, suspense, love, comedy and mystery stories in one) at Trinoma. I I can say that it has a good story since it makes me think about what happened but can't compare to the story of T2. There are also some events in Trinoma since `twas the opening of ICE AGE 3. We ate lunch at Steak Sizzlers at the food court there, mind you, their steaks are so delish, makes me wanna eat there more. After watching, it's time for Honie's favorite part. S ince he gave me flowers on our anniversary, I thought of giving him a jersey and I let him choose what he want. It's PBA Jersey by the way, and he chose Pingris' jersey (a Player of San Miguerl Beermen). I really wanted to have a jersey with numbers 3 and 21 but the i dont like the players owning that numbers. I also bought new stuffs for myself, such as a new sandals from Rusty Lopez and and a tank top from mango. We stroll around and saw some key chain stalls which honie bought a heart-shaped key chain.
" Oh well, I really wanna go shopping that day at trinoma but I think the people who are with me at the moment are not into shopping.. So there, we just decided to call it a day and go home early. Next time, I think I'll go back there with good shopping buddies? Do you think you can be one of those?
