My cousin Ite yzel bought me the latest album of S.H.E (SHERO). I'm so happy. She said she was lucky to be able to buy one since it's already sold out there in Singapore. Below are some of the things that she gave me.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!


Yeah, my cousin Ite yzel is back from Singapore. She's just here for a vacation and also in time for the Christmas season. I am so happy to see her and be with her again. She's like my best friend/cousin/sister in one. She's only a year older than me that's why we're very close. I've spent most of my childhood and college days with her. You see, she also studied in UST and we were also dorm mates. Well, I kind of decided to study in UST since she and Kuya Khris are both studying there. Here are some pictures we took before the Christmas eve.

For those who are familiar or who have already watched the popular taiwanese drama "It started with a kiss", you know the plot of this drama I'm sure. This korean drama is also adapted from the manga "Itazura na kiss". At the first 2 episodes, I was a bit bored since I already know the story by heart. I just decided to watch this one because of lacking something to do but then I fell in love with this drama. After episode 2, the drama went better. Yes, the events in the story is almost the same with the manga and the taiwanese version, but they gave it a nice korean twist and I loved it. They changed some things but it was okay and they made the story faster. Though there are some things that I was expecting to see in this drama but I haven't, well I forgive the production staff since they had to squeeze the story in a total of 16 episodes only. 




When I watched It started with a kiss before, Ariel Lin became a favorite actress of mine. That drama and Ariel Lin was also the reason that I started becoming addicted to taiwanese dramas as well as other asian dramas. But I prefer Jung So Min's potrayal of Ha Ni here than Ariel's portrayal of Xiang Qin. After watching Jung so min for a long time, I can't help finding her so cute. It's as if this role was made for her and I find her to be a really good actress specifically at the latter part of the drama. Watch it so that you'll know what I mean :) Also her character is a bit less stupid than Xiang Qin's character (taiwanese version). As for Kim Hyun Joong, I wasn't really fond of him specifically in Boys over flowers but in this drama, he won my admiration. The role suited him though he's a bit more of a jerk than in Joe Cheng's portrayal of Zhi Shu (taiwanese version). But he have some sweet moments too so that made up for it. I would just like to add that his hair here looks good compared to the one he had in boys over flowers (he looked too girly there). 




The second male lead in this drama was okay though I want to comment about the other girl who's like the main rival of Ha Ni in Seung jo's heart. That role was portrayed by Tiffany Hsu in the taiwanese version and she's just so pretty. The korean actress who played that role in this drama is also pretty but Tiffany Hsu is way more pretty than her. Though the korean actress did better than tiffany when it comes to acting. I really love the actress who played Baek Seung Jo's mom here. She's so fashionable and I think that she looks a bit young to be seung jo's mom but still, I love her. She's one of my favorite characters here in playful kiss. Let's go now to Ha Ni's friends. I find them so supportive of Ha Ni and though they may be not bright or smart too, they have their own talents. Talents in which they really excel that made up for their lack of smartness. 


Overall this drama was great! If you're looking for something light and fun to watch, well here it is Playful kiss :) 


P.S. 
this drama had 7 special episodes on youtube after airing in MBC korea. So after watching this drama, just go to their official youtube channel to watch the special episodes. Don't worry, you'll find english subtitle on the videos.

Some scenes in Playful kiss: (I do not take credits for the photos)

Yesterday, I had another interview with Summit media. I was surprised since I wasn't expecting for them to call again at all. That's because I had my first interview with them about more than a month ago so I wasn't really keeping my hopes up in getting in. At their office, I was told that the vacant position for subscription coordinator which is like more on back office work is only for 3 months. Yes, it is a reliever position. The other position which is probationary already is for the subscriptions telemarketer. You will call people and entice them to subscribe to the company's magazines. It may seem like an easy job for me but the thing is there's a quota. I would have to make at least 6 paid subscriptions in a day for a total of 120 in 20 days.

We had a sort of test where in I called the interviewer and asked for the renewal of his magazine subscription. It went well and he said that I was good. But the thing is I'm not sure if I'm the type who can be considered good in sales talk. I'm really worried about the monthly quota for if I wouldn't be able to attain it in three consecutive months, I'll be terminated. Yeah, that seems to be the hard part in being a telemarketer. So now, I've been thinking a lot if I'll give a go for that job if I ever get accepted. Hmm I think I'll still try my luck in my other applications. Wish me luck my readers and I would definitely appreciate if you'll include me in your prayers. Thanks guy :)

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs:

All I want for Christmas by Mariah Carey

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

Oh I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You

Oh all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door

Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
…
