Annyeong! Here's another Kdrama series that I've watched during my quarantine period last April entitled, "Something In The Rain" (Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food). It's a 2018 drama starred by Son Ye jin and Jung Hae-In.
Truth be told, I had moments of having second emotions for this especially after seeing the trailer.In fact, I wouldn't bother to watch this if it really wasn't for SYJ! 😅 Though as usual, some of my friends from the fandom urged me to watch and finish it ('cause I almost gave up after 2 episodes, I'm sorry 🙃) so I did. In conclusion, I find the story beautiful with its real-life events and it will really make you fall in love just like what they said on their promotional events 🖤 Intricate as it seems but there's a subtle reason why they put on an old girl-young guy relationship ;)

There might be negativity as you read along but keep in mind that these are purely my own thoughts (from a solid BinJin fan).

10/10: Crash Landing On You

Disclaimer: All thoughts are of my own.

I hope everyone’s safe in this time of a pandemic! Let us follow the quarantine policies of our country to end the spread of COVID19. It does get boring to be on house arrest for quite a while whereas for me, working in the hospital has been very stressful with a 50:50 chance of getting the strain ;( Understaffed, lack of supplies and the increasing number of affected patients---so please STAY AT HOME.Take the opportunity to rest and may we all pray for better days ✨

Honestly, my whole March hasn't really been good having some travel plans cancelled and other personal issues.Hence, in order to divert myself from such misery, I went 'Netflix and chill' on my break and one of the shows that I end up watching is "Crash Landing On You".

NB:I rarely watch K-dramas as I find it cheesy/'pabebe';

 Majority of my friends and family strongly urged me to see this show and at first, I was disgusted that I vowed not to watch it as it was very mainstream. I just even asked for the full plot-all spoilers which I found interesting. So once upon a miserable day, I gave in to watch the series---and they have captured my heart. ;p

(040218) "Will you be my WITNESS?"

I have never thought that I will STILL have the chance to watch Katy Perry inspite my very busy schedule ('career burnouts' perhaps); In fact, I was quite decided that I might really miss her concert this time 'cause I honestly couldn't afford the tickets even if i can save money for it after being on sale 5 months ago(yep,buying concert tickets on the first day is not my thing. I usually buy when it's about to be sold out!Haha!). I even slashed my idea of trying to get an M&G pass 'cause I'm losing my chances of purchasing a ticket.I joined several online contests as well but it brought me no luck. ;( Yet, coincidentally my day off from work landed on a Monday (April 2nd) since I was assigned to work during the Lenten holidays. So that whole time got me thinking: "should I go to her concert?"
Pardon me for a long foreword before I tell about the entire concert.This just means so much to me that in my language, it was 'biglaan at its finest'.Haha! Anyway, I already have my own duties on that day and none of it was to go to the concert. But apparently that time, I was scrolling for updates on the KatyCats' group until I saw people selling their tickets for a very cheap price!

I even posted my thoughts on Twitter that moment as I felt sick of having second thoughts of going to the event. However, I couldn't bring myself to pack my gym stuff anymore so my decision: I CANNOT MISS THIS CONCERT. To my mind, it'll be another 3yrs before she comes back here again so I'd go for it and tried to bargain the ticket.(nope,i didn't take that 7K offer.I bought it from someone else and I settled for a lowerbox A seat).I took the risk of commuting from my hometown to Mall of Asia for the first time alone and when I got there to meet the seller, I was shookt when he suddenly said "Miss,VIP nalang tong kunin mo ha" and from there I was somewhat out of my mind,I had another second thought that this might be a scam or something--but it's NOT!as in,oh my gosh...I'm gonna see Katy up front!!

I was so close from crying as it happened too fast; rather,medyo nawala lang ako sa sarili.Haha I'm not prepared!! But definitely,I have to enjoy this opportunity and thus,here we go with the concert proper! ;D

Prismatic World Tour Manila!!

ahh yesss!touchdown Philippine Arena! And it was just a 45-minute shuttle ride from Trinoma.The area was certainly huge as it was filled with several booths of Katy Perry merchandise (which I will discuss later) and food stalls.

Greysessed duties for "Fifty Shades of Grey"

Yesss after 3 years of waiting,one of my fav novels made it to the big screen!! Well I got to admit that I had a break from being Greysessed for years since I got hooked on the Crossfire series; But I still have a big big heart for my dear Christian Grey.❤️ Going back to last year when the trailer came out,I was so excited that I cannot contain my feels anymore---like I needed an emergency flight to America if this won't be shown in the Philippines (yet thankfully,it did). So yeah, I watched it twice because I couldn't wait any longer for the blockscreening last Feb.15.Hahaha! That's why I first watched it on the second day of premiere last Feb. 12.I watched it with my mom who wasn't really aware of the erotic story and I can't believe she liked it at the end!In fact she's more obsessed than I am now as she watched it thrice and reads the books.See how Christian Grey's impact goes for the women...sigh ❤️

(#3) The Petite Trends: During the Holidays..

Finally,a first entry for the year!Sorry it took long, my pc got malfunctioned last time so I wasn't able to blog then.But I'll make it up for this!I've been to a lot during the holiday season and these past few days of January.I spent the Christmas day in a private resort at Laguna while on New year's day,we went ramenized on Ramen Nagi at SM Aura Premier. I really like that ramen place so much; I customize my butao king with a spicy grade of 1. You guys should try it! It's perfect for the cold weather lately :)

Here was the outfit that I wore during the festive season.Paring a blazer with shorts has become a casual trend--like yes,it isn't just for a corporate outfit anymore!Some people also wear it during club parties already. But of course you need to choose the style that doesn't look very business-like if you're gonna use it in a club. I bought mine at Forever21 and indeed, they have several designs of blazers there. I'll post another style of it on instagram :D

Here's another occasion that I wore it which was during my friend's party.

#2014 Memories

Words can't explain how much this year has been well-achieved and a success. It has been a year of teary-eyed moments,goals achieved and of course,"I never thought of..." events ;") So here it goes!

MY 2014 TOP 100 SONGS

What's your 2014 playlist?

The things that I've looked forward to.

My apologies for taking too long to post another entry this month. Like I said last time, I became busy with my training to the hospital that I applied to. I had my first 2 days of duty last Mon-Tues and it was good :) I was assigned in an Onco-Surgical ward. It was my first time to handle cancer patients as well---and a first time to handle foreign patients! But as a trainee and a first timer, all I did during the shift were clerk work.Though sometimes I get to assist my mentor staff with the procedures. So there goes my #dutyduties experience for now. My next training will be around next month so currently, I'm on a break ;D

Anyhow,I was still able to witness the things that I've been looking forward to inspite of the busyness in training.

Parties with my 2 favorites

I've been attending events for the past 2 weeks and I'm so overwhelmed that each of it was with my favorites ❤️ My whole month of August has become so much fun and fearless at the same time! Fearless as I took my IV Therapy training at Capitol Medical Center and it went well. I hated IV injections and I was even so scared to be pricked by it.Yet I suddenly overcome my fears at it as my partner on the training pricked me twice! Hahaha :)) My veins on my hands were quite hard to detect that's why the nurse supervisor suggested to prick me on both hands. I did not mind about it,though. I took it as an experience and went fine. Nonetheless, I look forward to more of my RN trainings soon! :D "let the right job arrive to you on the right moment. #notetoself"

(072614) Vios Cup Race 2!

Me and my family spent the weekend at Clark, Pampanga where we watched the Vios Cup Race 2 at Clark Speedway. It was my first time to watch a race car competition and I never thought this would be fun! Although what makes it more fun was that my favorite is part of the race!Haha :) But I really do enjoyed the event even if I'm not a fan of cars.Yet I'm quite familiar with the Vios as I've been attending several Toyota events since last year.

#2013 MEMORIES

Indeed,this year has been a blast and it's one of the BEST!I may be busy all throughout,but the year has brought me in to a lot of surprises and to "things I never thought would possibly happen". :')
10. CROSSFIRE. Last year, Christian Grey was the ultimate peg;Now,this new book series nailed it! The Dark&Dangerous Gideon Cross stole my heart this year.❤️ Just like Mr.Grey,this man has his own 'problems' too (and so as the heroine character in the story,Eva Tramell). But their love affair is sweeter than Steele-Grey :"> The series is already on its 3rd book and it has more mature content. So if you're legal(18+) and curious on a different kind of romance,try reading this :)

and btw,the story's not ending on the third book yet! ;D

9.Camo luvin'.Meet the newest addition to my favorites!Tho purple is still my most fave.I somehow don't know why I got hooked on camouflage when it's just all of a sudden that i started collecting stuff in that print(and it drives me crazy!hahaha!).No wonder,it does look unique.But you know,I don't like military nor soldiers---except for a #soldieroflove perhaps.oops!HAHAHA ;))

8. Christmas with my Japanese cousins. Shopping + roadtrippin' + drinking sessions with them was great!! :D Mind you,it's been more than 10 years since they've last spent the holidays here since they usually go around July.Thus,touring them around town has always been fun.Check out my facebook for our pictures :)

7. Concerts!concerts! I'm pleased to attend 2 concerts this year; from Demi Lovato's to Carly Rae Jepsen's :D Like what I've reviewed last year, Carly Rae became one of my favorite popstars 'cause of her upbeat songs.While for Demi,I really am a fan of hers since she starred on Camp Rock.She'd be my idol if I were a highschool teen now 'cause I find her similar to Kelly Clarkson :) Anyway,I was supposed to watch Ke$ha's also but unfortunately,school screwed it up for me (hashtag duty problems T__T).However,i look forward to watch more concerts next year! :)


6. Dance with the GFORCE. After 987654321000 years,my plan of enrolling myself to a dance workshop once again has finally come true!lol.And it's not just any dance workshop..I can't even believe at first that I'm on a dance class from a group that's performing on ASAP!Hence,it was really great.i despise rehearsals but i do miss them especially the moments when we're practicing the choreography already :) I'm glad to be part of Jazz funk batch 1 by Teacher Sherwin Casepe! This whole workshop just built more about my stage presence dancing skills.Hopefully next year,i'd be able to join again.Watch & Read the show here!

5. Epic CREW-ventures. We may be tangled by our hectic scheds in school,but we still found opportunities to unwind and HAVE FUN! Call it dramatic but I do feel disconnected to the world if all I do is to go to school then go home in a day.Sometimes,you need to take a break from it--like going to new places and trying new things which my barkada usually do. :)

how to spell FUN and CRAZY with these people. :))

4. My crazyyy 20th birthday.

Simply, a beautiful mess.yet unforgettable.It's the most memorable moment that i'll have for the 2nd decade of my life.I do have very surprising guests and gifts,but the fact that I passed out was just....ugh,eff THAT.lol.Wanna recap it?.

3. Grease Manila(111013).like I said, I'll never forget this play ever!Some people even discouraged me from watching it as I was deciding before if I'm really going to watch.But since I've been hooked to this eversince I was watching the rehearsals on the net and my favorite will be there,I suddenly thought that I can't miss this show.and so,things happened--I watched the show and it was amazing plus surprisingly,I get to meet the cast at the end. ;D I'll never forget that moment when Carla D. hugged me that time!♥ tell me more,tell me more! ;p

2. #helloSINGAPORE!This made my summer vacay this year superb ♥ Our whole trip there was absolutely amazing from endless shoppings,diversing with mixed races and our whole day at Universal Studios.Indeed,i'd loved to go back there again(and I AM coming back!!) soon ;) Reminisce with me here: part 1 l part 2 .

1. Friends with the DJ's.---well not just DJ's but also theater stars!And I'm so pleased and thankful to meet them.I didn't expect such things to happen!Especially meeting my 2 favorites, Carla Dunareanu and Sam YG for several times! :"""> Yeah,i got to admit that i usually have those 'embarrassing moments' to meet them;but having the guts to do it surely turns out to something!Haha.Though when it comes to my favorite days with them,the most would probably be with Sam.♥ oh lord,thank you for making this possible!! 0:")

(from L-R)with Andi Manzano,Slick Rick,Ramon Bautista,Sara Meier,Carla Dunareanu,Sam YG,Jojo the "love survivor",Boom Gonzales,Jennifer Blair-Bianco, James Stacey,Rafa Siguion-Reyna,James Laurel

Now that's a wrap!And I'm sure the funnerness won't stop here--there IS MORE TO COME. :) So why not we gallop for more new memories next year?Haha! 'til then!I would like to thank everyone who reads my entries here.thank you,thank you,THANK YOU!!!

(111013)The Grease Experience

wella-wella-wella-huh tell me more,tell me more…❤️ I watched Grease with my grandma at the RCBC Plaza,Makati.Good thing I was able to watch it on the second day as the tickets were really selling fast! I was supposed to watch it again with my cousins last Dec.1 but the show on that date was almost sold out.So yes,too bad -__- but at least I get to watch it earlier and it was definitely worth it! :)

Yayy for an orchestra front seat! :D Not to mention,we were seated in front of the speakers.Hahaha.

Here I was on the Grease seat outside the theatre! :)

Then this was the cake everyone's been talking about during the first day of the show.Tho just like them,I hope this one's real and edible!haha. :)) The cake was courtesy of Kink Cakes

These are the two refreshments that I tasted during the intermission of the play.Indeed,this is my first time to watch a play with free drinks!They're not just two drinks actually; They're four of them but I wasn't able to try the other 2.The ones above are Pink Ladies Cocktail and Chocolate Mudshake. The other that I didn't try were T-Bird's Blue Lemonade and Rainbow Shot(which contains vodka and it really looks cute!I wanted to try it before but eventually,it ran out of stock that time.). So the whole play was AMAZING! I wasn't really familiar with all of the cast but I did find them awesome as well. Sandy was played by Francheska Farr while Danny Zuko was played by Gian Magdangal.One of my favorite scenes there was when they all sang "Grease is The Word";their dance moves is making me feel stoked!There was a scene on the play wherein there's an audience participation in it as the cast taught them to dance "We Go Together". I wanted to join and dance with Carla D. but unfortunately,she was on the other side…so wag nalang. LOL! Well anyway,I was very very happy to meet her again after the play!!(PS: she gave me a hug omgggg!!) ❤️ Although she was in a rush that time because she was on her way for the videoshoot of Spongecola's video,"Kailangan Kita". :)
I also get to meet the other cast as well!! Like Rafa Siguion-Reyna,Jennifer Blair Bianco, and James Laurel (who was that night's Teen Angel). I even get to meet Tirso Cruz III since my grandma have worked with him on showbiz before. However,our picture wasn't exactly taken just like what happened before to me and Sam YG.hmmppph! -__- At least I had a picture again with my favorite Carla D.haha ;D Check out my facebook for my other pictures.
Annddd that's a wrap!I look forward to watch another musical play soon.Yet,this one's definitely unforgettable ;) ❤️
'til then!

i will love you..UNCONDITIONALLY.❤️

Check out this new single from Katy Perry! :)

I like this video more than "Roar" tho and I like the video more than the song,itself :) I remember one time when I was listening a morning radio show,a DJ made a review about it saying that Katy Perry had a different way of syllabicating the word,"Unconditionally". Like, she pronounced it as "UNCON-DITION-ALLY" instead of "UN-CON-DI-TIONALLY".Either way,it's still a good meaningful song.You guys should buy her new album,Prism. :)

Ze birthmonth adventure.:)

I was supposed to post this last week but suddenly,shit happened in school. It almost came to a point that I won't be able to take my subjects for next sem which was horrible. So all throughout the week, I was so depressed that I even felt like I'm about to have a heart attack then as I thought of the possible remediation.But as we had another chance of re-taking our finals,I fortunately made it. :') Words can't explain but during that time,I really wanted to cry after all those tensions and sleepless nights!!Yet at the end of that day,I gave my full gratitude to my parents who has supported me all along.And most of all,to the Lord. 0:') So that ends 1st sem!Time to relax and rejuvenate in this very short sembreak aka time to YOLO! I've been actually catching up with my favorite tv series at home lately---Suits and New Girl.❤️ Plus,i'm back to reading "Entwined With You"(yes,it's been a while from my Crossfire feels.Haha).Everything seems doing pretty well.

Here goes some blog-worthy narratives.Anyway,this month is actually my birthmonth! :D All throughout has been very busy and surprising,I should say.The surprises started to flow during the last week of September(specifically,09/27) where me and my family went to Eastwood for the Beer Festival.Happily, I met Sam YG there once again since he's hosting the event! :"> But unfortunately, I had no pic with him 'cause my brother wasn't able to take it on the camera.hmppph.Either way,it was nice talking to him then ;D
The week after that,my parents finally gave me a Samsung S4 as a birthday gift! :') Then came Saturday(1005) which was my birthday and I celebrated it at URBN. I was with my #crew friends plus Jojo the love survivor of 'Boys Night Out',Dj Tonytoni,and Anjie&Vikas Gogna(Sam YG's siblings).


My crazy crew gave me a 'Fifty Shades'/radio-inspired cake and a birthday plaque.omggg yes,they're definitely the best.❤️
However,it was a bad thing that I got drunk early that night so i sadly wasn't able to talk with the other guests..i truly hate myself for that ;(( Yet, i cannot believe i just had my birthday with some of my favorites.So once again,i thank the lord for making this possible :')
The following weeks after that,I ended up being busy with the schoolwork and hospital duties.Aaaanddd there ya have it!I'll try to post more before this very short break ends,'kay? ;)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
'til then!

'cause it's always a GOOD TIME!!

aaaannddd ze long wait is over! :D Last Aug.07,I went to Carly Rae Jepsen's concert at the SMART Araneta Colliseum and it was awesome! I got to admit that the show was very short since she sang all the songs in a medley(actually,the intermission between her show and the front act was the one that took long).But anyway,it was all good.She's even so cute on stage!! :)

more pics at photobucket.com/juliasgraphics
I didn't know that she had a recent change of her hair color then from brunette to redhead.Now she looks whiter with that kind of hairdo! Though she was very entertaining throughout the show like she keeps on talking about her love story which is quite the story behind her songs.Here's a quick vid of Carly doing a little tap dance:

more CRJ vids here on youtube.com/hauntedtwist :)
At the end of the concert,I took a pic at the Candies' carpet which featured of course, Carly Rae.The pic is on my instagram (@juliacoleen). I even spotted one of Adamson's volleyball player, Mayette Zapanta :)

Soooo there ya have it!I'll be changing my layout then in preparation for ze brrr month.Oh wow,time flies really fast isn't it?
'til then!

PS: I hope everyone's safe from the typhoon last week!

(081813) World of Toyota

Toyota had it's event entitled, "World of Toyota" at the World Trade Center from Aug.10-18,2013.I had myself tagging along with my mom (since she's working in Toyota as a sales manager) on the last day of it which was yesterday!Though I should have gone there earlier because they have different perks everyday and I adore their host so much which was Carla Dunareanu.heehee! :D Since it was the last day yesterday, it was all crowded then so I wasn't able to play the videogame there (in which I thought that could help me learn how to drive!lol). However, it was all fun! I took a tour around the different Toyota vehicles and collectibles and at some points, I just gotten a little bit interested on those now.haha!Take note: just a little bit. ;))
Here's my pics at the event:
the evolution of Toyota Corolla


We have a car like this before aka,the Macho Machine :)))










and here's my beautiful favorite while she was hosting an hourly segment on the event..



We're actually at her back.heehee! :>

It's actually my third time to meet Carla in person and she's absolutely stunning and nice! You guys should catch her on On Demand at Magic 89.9 every 9am-12pm with Boom Gonzales. :) Sooo there ya have it!Another fun fun event from Toyota.PS:I'm looking forward for more soon. ;)
