Personal: November update ~ Daily Blog?

Hello everyone! I think it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post and here's what I have been busy with :)

I'll start with my birthday...the previous days before that was spent at work so it's nothing fun haha 

1. My 27th birthday (NOVEMBER 15)

I can't believe I'm already 27. I still feel like I'm on my early 20s haha maybe my mind is the only thing that stayed young. When I asked my brother if I looked 27 years old already, he just asked me: "sa isip o sa itsura?" (in mind or body?) My brother believe I still think and acts immaturely for my age. Anyways, I still feel young and I am now enjoying a lot more freedom so that's the best thing that happened for me this year. I can now stay out very late with friends yay! :)

I spent my birthday working in the morning and watching Breaking Dawn Part 2 with my 11y/o cousin. My tita doesn't want to watch so she asked me if I can accompany Coleen in the movies since I am gonna watch it too. It was my first time going to Robinsons Magnolia and I enjoyed how clean it is. I just hope it is easier to commute from there.

Then, I had my favorite crispy pata for dinner. Yummy! That's my only request coz I really love eating that. Aside from the crispy pata, we also had Max's fried chicken which is also my family's favorite. I have been eating that since time immemorial haha :)

2. Lee Min Ho in Manila! (NOVEMBER 16)

Yep! The reason why I didn't had a birthday party is because I spent all my energy to meet Lee Min Ho at Araneta Coliseum! I went there super early and the line (for exchanging the invitations for the tickets) was already too long but everything was worth it. I was able to stand in front of the stage and I can clearly see him. I was, like, 6 rows from the stage! It's actually too hot there because everyone wants to go near so there were a lot of pushing going on. Luckily, we were able to stood our ground in the middle...I got training riding the MRT for a long time LOL.

The best part of this whole experience? I was able to enjoy this with my sister and my best friend so it was extra special :)

3. Bonding time with my special someone (NOVEMBER 17-18)

I spent the weekend with my bf because it's the only time we can go out and celebrate my birthday and our monthsary. We just spent it at home talking and playing with our dog. I'm lucky because both of us are home-body and we prefer to stay at home while watching a movie rather than going out. He cooked dinner for me and had ice cream. I also requested him to buy Vodka Ice so I can try it haha :)

4. Rescued 3 kittens (NOVEMBER 19)

I met with a client at QC Hall and on my way home, I found 3 abandoned kittens on the sidewalk. I'm worried that they might get hit by a car or something so I picked them up and brought them home. I know I can't keep them and I'm planning on bringing them to PAWS when I get to contact them. I have 3 cats already and I can't get more even if I want to because they will probably fight each other (my cats are a little territorial).

One of them is already a few weeks old (he's already walking and have his eyes open already) while the other 2 are newborns coz they still have umbilical cords (maybe 3-4 days old). So I'm really guessing they were thrown out by someone. 

I am used to getting puppies or kittens so I already have a feeding bottle at home and I used the nipple for newborns for them. I bought infant milk coz this have an approval seal from my veterinarian years ago for my puppies. I just add multivitamins to it so that it can help with their immune system as they probably have not had their mom's colostrum to help fight of illnesses.

I have them for 4 days now and the first 2 nights are a nightmare coz they wake me up every 2 hours to ask for milk. I felt sorry for my sister (we sleep in 1 bedroom) because she still need to go to work early in the morning and she can't sleep properly due to the crying. Luckily, last night was peaceful. I don't know what happened but I guess they were able to sleep throughout the night without getting hungry :)

I am really hoping that they can survive and grow into adults. All three of them have good sucking reflex and can drink lots of milk! They can also eliminate pretty well so I know they will not have problem in that area. I just hope PAWS can take care of them...I don't know how long I can foster for them since I also need to go to work so no one can feed them frequently. Please help me pray for these kittens.

***
So yeah, sorry if I can't post anything lately. I actually have no time to compose anything with all the things happening around me. Everyone and everything wants my attention so I got lost LOL. Hopefully I can come back into posting every other day once I delivered the kittens to PAWS and I have finished general cleaning the house (we have a lot of Japanese friends going here for a vacation) :)

Thanks for dropping by!
 

Personal: Dream come true :)

Okay, I know I have posted this at my Facebook page but I want to share it here as well. I am just so happy I want everyone to know why haha :)

I was able to get patron seat tickets today for the Lee Min Ho fan meet by Bench! I really can't believe how lucky I am today!

I went to SM North around 2pm to buy tickets for Big Bang's concert tomorrow. I know that I'm buying it too late but I left it to fate since I don't have extra money to buy earlier. Sadly, as expected, concert tickets are out of stock already for the general admissions. I was sad, but then, it's my fault so I don't have

others to blame.

I then decided to check out Bench next coz I know they'll release a second batch of Patron tickets anytime and I wanted to inquire. According to the staff, they did have some but it was already sold out yesterday. I was so bummed out coz I missed it again.

I then decided to check out the Trinoma branch too because I just need to cross the street...And guess what? I was so lucky that 50pcs arrived at Trinoma this lunch and when I arrived there, only 30pcs are left. And after trying out stuff and deciding what to buy, there were only 17 tickets left.

I am really so lucky today! If I went either earlier or later, I would have missed the tickets. I was able to get 4 tickets for me, my best friend, my sis and her sis-in-law. I chose to get classic jeans coz it would be easier to fill the needed total at the shortest amount of time. I was so worried that I would take too long to chose and i won't have tickets anymore when I pay haha.

Anyway, I am just so happy I can't stop laughing and jumping as soon as I got home. My dad's best friend who are here thought I won the lottery or something when I arrived because I was super happy and giggly haha. It was really hard to keep all that giddiness inside :)

I called my sis at the office and told her the news and she had a hard time trying not to shout with joy haha I can actually imagine her giggling alone at the front desk..her client must have thought she was crazy LOL :)

Lesson for today: It's very very hard to contain your happiness in public when all you want to do is laugh with joy even though you are all alone! LOL :)

Lee Min Ho Live in Manila!

OMG!!! I can't believe one of my dreams will come true on my birthday! Korean actor Lee Min Ho is confirmed to come here in Manila on November 16, 2012 and will be having a Fan Meet at Smart Araneta Coliseum as the newest BENCH endorser.

My birthday is on November 15 and he'll be here the day after. I will definitely do my best to be able to get a ticket in the front row!! So excited!!! ^_^

For the rules on how to get a ticket, check it here:

UPDATE: (10/15/2012)
The selling of tickets started Saturday and yesterday night, there's already a shortage. I was only able to get  tickets for Upper B seats. I am going to check out other branches if I can still find Patron ticket *crossing my fingers*

Siwon & Donghae in Manila for Bench

Hello everyone! If you're a fan of Super Junior, then you already know that Siwon and Donghae were here in Manila yesterday for the event of Bench at Trinoma Activity Center. Sadly, I was unable to enter the contest held by Bench wherein I will get the chance to see them up close (near the stage) and therefore I was also not eligible for the raffle draw during the event where in the winners will have a chance to have autographed shirts or posters and take a picture with them..Although, come to think of it, how many raffle tickets should I have in the first place in order to be picked so that I can be part of it? According to the mechanics, for every Php1000 you buy from Bench, you'll get one raffle ticket and Bench will choose 700 people from there. I'm pretty sure those who won have more than 1 ticket each because the fans club of Super Junior is BIG and everyone wants a chance to shake the hands of Siwon and Donghae ^_^

Me and my sister just decided to go early to look for a spot to stay and watch them from afar since the Activity Center of Trinoma is open. We settled for Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on the 3rd floor because it faces the stage directly and we can relax until the event starts. I would have preferred my spot beside the stage on the 2nd floor escalator (That's where I stayed before when Kim Hyun Joong arrived for The Face Shop and it has a great view coz it's unobstructed) but my sister doesn't want to squat there the whole day (hay naku) so I gave in.

We arrived around 10:30am or at most 11am at Trinoma (It's late but my sis moves so slow!) and there were already a lot of people and we already don't have a table near the side rails (boo!). But we still found a good spot to stay, thank goodness. We had Roast Chicken and Mushroom Fustini pasta (this one is so good!) and my fave decaffeinated White Chocolate Dream Latte for brunch.

Here's the makeup I wore yesterday...I don't know why fans bothered to look very very nice (yeah, it's not just us who took care in what we look hehe) when we won't be seen by SiHae, but still there's hope! I decided to go with a "No Makeup makeup look" because I know I will get sweaty and I want my makeup to fade well just in case you know LOL.. I also wore my hair in a neat hairstyle (I braided my bangs and put it in a one side ponytail) so that I won't look wasted after I jumped up and down. It's successful! ^_^

FACE:
- Dreamworld Mineral foundation Mix (I have mixed a lot of shades hehe)
- Aromaleigh ultra-resolution finishing powder in Peaches and Cream 
- Pop beauty blush -- shimmery peachy-pink (can't remember the shade coz I transferred it on a different container when it got broken)

EYES:
- Tony Moly berry lovely girl tip concealer #1
- Christian Dior eyeshadows - nude and peach
- Tony Moly backstage eyeliner in Black

LIPS:

- Watson lipbalm in Wild Cherry (this gives a pretty red tint)
- H&M lipgloss in Sweet Cherry




THE CROWD:

Trinoma was jam-packed with fans on all 4 levels and anywhere you can see the stage. Here's some shots showing how many people went just to catch a glimpse of Siwon and Donghae ^_^

This is where I was located... (above photo)

View from the top and bottom

I think more than 5,000 people were there because on the inside of the reserved area alone there were already around 800-900 people including the 700 winners, Bench's staffs, security personnel media men, VIPs and medics.  And add the number of people around the ground floor and the other 3 floors where we have at least 3 lines from the side railings.

It was really a sight to remember and can you just imagine how loud it was when each one of us shouted at the top of our lungs? My bf and my sis' bf got shocked and irritated at the same time hehe


THE EVENT

They started the event with a raffle on who will get a chance to go up and shake hands with Siwon and Donghae.. I was really jealous coz they were able to hold their hands and have a picture taken and also get autographed stuffs :(

They entered in style and did their usual introduction as Super Junior ^_^

Then they had a Question and Answer portion with the MC. I am not sure if the translation is the same since there is no pause for the translator to give the MC the answer of SiHae before she says it in English...Nevertheless, I was still happy to see them in person and to hear their voices live ^_~

After the signing and picture taking, they said good bye to the fans. ..BUT the two of them came back with their own digital camera so that they can take a picture with everyone as the background! They also did fan service and sent us hearts and kisses before leaving the stage for good.  I really got teary eyed because of too much happiness ^_^

I hope they'll go and include Philippines in their lineup for the Super Show 5 ^_^


NOTE: Lee Min Ho is the next Bench model!!!
