I know I haven't posted in ages... I've had a ton of work... and yeah, I guess it's true that when you're busy with real life stuff, you tend to neglect blogs (but not Twitter! :P ( Read more... )

My friend and I decided to go queue up for Jil Sander's much-awaited +J collection for Uniqlo this morning. I knew the store in Myeongdong opens at 11:30, but we were there at 11. The line was pretty long when we got there, but it was just about 60 or 70 people in front of us. And surprise surprise? The line was mostly guys!

I've been itching to blog about the fantastic dinner we had at Wil in Pyeongchang-dong. The area is kind of out-of-the-way from the rest of downtown Seoul, considering you have to take a 10-15 minute bus ride from Gyeonbok Palace and up the hill. It does sort of remind me of going to Antipolo.

GanaArt Center is probably the only reason why people ( Read more... )

It was hot, almost like weather back in the Philippines, last Sunday. But I had to go and "cover" the National Day and street parade festivals at Banpo Park. I went with Wendy, and met up with other friends at the park.

The cake looked yummy, but it's not my birthday cake. :P

I just realized that I've been in this city for 4 and a half years, and I should be listing down my favorite places/shops/things to do in this city. So this is the start of my "i-heart-seoul" series.

What better way to start than Garosu-gil, a quaint and stylish neighborhood in southern Seoul.

Garosu-gil means "tree-lined street." Its located three ( Read more... )

I was checking the news wires today, and I found this bit of news about top stars Song Kang-ho (Thirst, Secret Sunshine, The Host) and Kang Dong-won (Temptation of Wolves, Too Beautiful to Lie) cast in an up-coming movie. (송강호와 강동원이 영화 '의형제' 주연으로 캐스팅됐다.)

The news didn't say it, but I'm excited about this because Jaz, one of my oldest (not in age ( Read more... )

6:30 am... I can't believe I woke up at that early hour on a Sunday! Ugh. J and I met up for breakfast, then headed to LotteHotel at 8 am, where we bumped into A at the lobby.

"I hope the food is worth it," A griped. Hahaha... My thoughts exactly! I wasn't really a big fan of PGMA, who I covered only once or twice when she was VP.

I always wanted to have a caricature of myself, but not the kind that makes your head look like its shaped like a watermelon or your eyes look crazy.

Last time I went to the Free Market in Hongdae with Tes, I saw a bunch caricature artists doing these cute sketches of people. There was even one who did sketches on a tablet, and prints out the ( Read more... )

I simply love waffles. I always miss the waffles from Pancake House back home. I can't get enough of waffles. Even the cheap 1,000 won waffles slathered in cream and jam, I kinda grew to like.

L and I were looking for a snack, and we spotted Sweet Flour Factory in 이대. With the sign saying "The Best Waffles in the World," I just had to try it.
