Back Online


It’s been a while blog. I’ve been busy, very very busy. But as the saying goes, all work and no play makes a dull life. With a recent 4 day holiday I make sure I got plenty on the play mode. And catch up with all Korean and other best drama shows I could watch. I just finished Korean dramas Big, I Do I Do, Arang and the Magistrate, Panda and Hedgehog. I am also near the ending of Nice Guy and planning to start Faith and Gaksital. Then there’s the new series of Yeon Eun Hye and Micky Yoochun titled I Miss You. And I hope I get to blog about those series too. I especially love Arang and the Magistrate, love Shin Mina and Lee Jun Ki.  

With all my Korean dramas I was really pleased to chance upon this site where a new trend, web television is the focus. Here I get to see something new, funny, interesting shows or series like never before. I was usually into Korean drama series so I wasn’t aware much about the other TV or web series. I am guessing in a few weeks or months this site will be a hit, and I get to see and enjoy them first. You read it here first too!

So if you want something new, hip, unique, entertaining, educational to watch, check out blip.tv. They have a series called In The Internet which is both educational and reality series. Bestsellers is about girlfriends and books, I totally fit in! If you’re into suspense thrillers try Desturbia. Scifi geek, then Frontier Guard may fit your bill. I tell you they have a lot more! Just checking out all the titles took me a great deal of time. I’m sure you’ll find your kind of series.

Currently Watching: Switch Girl

Are you one of us? I mean a switch girl?

I guess most, if not everyone is guilty of putting a mask (not necessarily a make-up) or putting a facade in front of other people. We want others to see our good side, highlight it and keep within ourselves, our family or friends what we are truly made of. I don't think it's technically lying but just putting your best foot forward.


This JDrama is a manga adaptation so it's a lot of non-sense and I actually enjoyed both the manga and drama. Ha! I admit to being a switch girl myself but i need not just an ON and OFF switch, maybe NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST or even 1 to 10. That's how complicated I am.

Here Nika has an OFF and ON switch, while on OFF mode she's an otaku, cheapstake, messy, silly, etc at home. But while on ON mode, she's cute, stylish and proper. 

When Arata (the boy she likes) discovered her 2 personalities, that's where all the fun and craziness starts.

Currently Watching: Love Rain

I’m in love again with Jang Geun Seok’s character Seo Joon, who could resist his charm? It reminds me of his previous role in You’re Beautiful.

who made my oppa cry?

Enough of my fan-girling, let’s talk about the KDrama Love Rain.

First 3 eps were heavy, maybe because it was known from the start that Seo In Na and Kim Yoon Hee will not end with one another. It was really heartbreaking, period. But the sadder part was they were never able to move on and caused each other (and those around them) more heartaches.


Now to the current generation Seo Joon (son of In Ha) and Ha Na (daughter of Yoon Hee) met and fell in love. It was not instant but enough to establish something before they learned of their parents story. Now the four star-crossed lovers are in a dilemma who will give up their love for the sake of another.

I am always hopeful and naïve to think that love will be enough. But reality always prove me wrong.

Same with this KDrama, I want the older gen to have their happy ending too since In Ha is divorced and Yoon Hee is a widow. But cheering on them means Joon and Ha Na’s separation, they would be brothers and sisters by law. I wouldn’t care if it was me, but Joon also have to think of her mom, which is the bitch here.

This is a melodrama so I’m prepared for more heartaches and even dying. Am I bad to even want Yoon Hee to die (but she’s gonna be blind not dying) just to end this complicated set-up or In Ha to have an accident but I cannot afford anything to happen to Joon or Ha Na. Talk about totally into the KDrama.

I want to end this and get over with, I better watch the remaining 5 eps (but afraid to see the ending).

Crazily Impatient over Queen In Hyun's Man Ep12

It's been a while since I've been like this over a KDrama, and the male lead is not my oppas Jang Geun Seok, Kim Soo Hyun and Jung Il Woo. 

It stars Ji Hyun Woo (his first KDrama on my radar) and Yoo In Na (whom I watched as the best friend of female lead in Secret Garden). So nothing really special but their team up is sooooo sweet I had to watch the raw (un-subbed) version of Ep 12 and still get giddy over their supposedly date. 





Pls someone sub ep 12 of Queen In Hyun's Man!

Wed-Thurs KDrama Marathon

I finally had time to watch KDramas and unknowingly chose 3 KDrama of the same Wed-Thurs timeslot:

Rooftop Prince



The King 2 Hearts



Queen In-Hyun’s Man


The first 2 will be ending by this week while QIHM will air eps 9-10. I have to wait for at least 2 days to be able to watch it with English subs so my weekend will be another KDrama Marathon.

Is there a good Mon-Tues or weekend KDrama so I could compensate the waiting time?

Close look at One Direction

Ever heard of boy band One Direction? If not, you’re so not in (like me), so let me introduce you to the hottest boy band in the UK and also in the US, the One Direction.


Meet the members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. Originally auditioned for The X Factor as solo acts but was later formed into a group. They didn’t win the actual competition but their popularity skyrocketed and was immediately signed in Simon Cowell’s Syco Records. They must be really good if the latter invested on them.

Their Up All Night album includes What Makes You Beautiful, Gotta Be You and One Thing became instant hits both in the UK and US even landing the coveted number one spot in the US Billboards.

One Direction will have their World Tour later or early next year but as early as now Concert Tickets were being sold fast. If you want 1D tickets Cheap, hurry and grab one now.

These boys, age ranging from 18 to 21 are called as the next British Invasion. If you’re as curious as I am to why, then better check out their official site. I saw some cute dolls, posters and other items being sold online.

For Adults Only

This post brought to you by Vianda. All opinions are 100% mine.

I still get shocked with local drama series because it mostly contains violence and adult scenes. I am no prude but I still think it shouldn't be seen by general patronage viewers. Even if they place a notice or rating with Parental Guidance it shouldn't be the case. That's why I really like Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese dramas because if there is a need for those scenes they made it as explicit as possible.

Back in the real world, it's not anymore taboo to discuss about sexual activities and male enhancement. Being such, a new drug Enzyte 24/7 is introduced to help male regain confidence in their sexual performance. It helps promotes critical blood flow and guard against nutrient deficiencies that may impact volume and potency. The new advance formula guarantees peak performance and rock solid results that is committed to the health, safety and enhancement of the users.

Enzyte_247_ProductMock.jpg

Enzyte 24/7 is not a drug and only contains substances that are naturally occurring. Of course, results may vary from one user to another. But the general sentiments are favorable, check the different commercials available.

You might as well like Enzyte on Facebook and grab their $10 coupon.

Currently Watching: The Moon That Embraces The Sun

More appropriate status: Currently Sobbing on death of Prince Yang Myung.

Prince Yang Myung (Jung Il Woo)

King Lee Hwon (Kim Soo Hyun)

I love both the King and half bro Prince Yang Myeong that's why I cannot move on why the Prince have to die. He was never a real threat to the King position because he never wanted it on the first place. Though what Prince Yang Myeong did was heroic, selfless and idiotic at the same time I guess it was needed in the story. So while I'm still sobbing, I'll give it a rest.


The King & Queen Yeon Woo (Han Ga In)

The King and Queen did get their happy ever after ending. After all the tragedies, conspiracy and treason everything was dealt with and kept on their proper places. This KDrama deals more on fate and destiny, that no matter how one tries to mess with destiny it will still find its rightful ending.

The King 2 Hearts
Fashion King
Dream High 2
Queen In-hyun's Man

Getting Rid of Motion Sickness

Are you the kind of person who loves to travel a lot or are you the one who doesn’t? Or let’s say, you always love to travel but scared enough to go out of town because you suffer from motion sickness?

Well this can’t be controlled especially to those who are really not used in travelling. Whether it is caused by car, airplane, ship or even rides in the amusement park, people gets the same feeling and symptoms when they are having motion sickness. Basically, the main cause of motion sickness is the imbalance of one’s senses and it triggers mainly because of how someone views an object in a specific motion. The very common symptoms that people experience whenever they suffer from motion sickness are headache, nausea, vomiting, which at times they can’t control and even dizziness, thus making them feel weak and exhausted. It brings them stress and they even loss their appetite because they can’t normally eat as they try to fight back the symptoms.

Basically, this is starting to become the reason why most people prefer not to travel unless it is really needed because it’s always hard for them to deal with the sickness. They will prefer to stay at home than stressing themselves out during the entire trip as it feels really terrible and they know that they won’t be able to enjoy their getaway as well.

Surely, motion sickness can occur to anyone. As previously discussed, it happens usually when travelling whether by uneven motion of car, turbulence in the plane or because of the swaying of the boat. These are the usual causes why there is a disturbance in the senses and when such disorientation occurs, the brain will receive signals of loss of equilibrium and that will finally trigger the symptoms of motion sickness.

Moreover, this sickness occurs when there is a detection coming from the ear with one’s sense balance or if there is a feeling of motion that our eyes can’t literally see in the actual vision. Nevertheless, this can be somehow prevented, as there are some various ways to control it even before it happens or while it is already happening. The very basic prevention is to let your eyes see the real motion. Like for instance, if you are in a moving car and you suddenly feel dizzy, stare outside the window so you can moving objects and that will help balance your senses. In this way, you will be able to balance whatever your mind is feeling and what your body is experiencing. One more thing that can cure this motion sickness is the currently available wristband in the market that gives pressure on your wrist. It actually works like the acupuncture treatment, which targets the main points of your nerves.

Likewise, we also have natural preventions that people can opt to do. When travelling, always make it a point that you grab a bite of crackers just to something lite to eat. Take something minty like peppermint tea to somehow calm your stomach and by then, you can avoid vomiting. And lastly, opt for fresh air because this will make you feel relax and you’ll be able to fight the symptoms of motion sickness.

Again, anyone can experience motion sickness but anyone can also be able to overcome it. It may be a weakening and very exhausting feeling but one good thing that a person can do is to take proper medications. You can ask your doctor’s advice just to be sure of what medicine best suits you. This will be able to help you a lot to escape stress and in the end, you’ll find yourself comfortable whenever you travel anywhere.
