Spazz Saturday #11 | Lee Min Ho's Adobo, and Kdramas seasoned just right.

In case you haven't heard, Korean actor Lee Min Ho was in town as the latest endorser for the global brand, Bench. He had a meet and greet session for the said brand last Friday, and Araneta Coliseum was jam-packed with eager fans.

I wasn't part of that crowd, mind you. I'm not exactly a huge fan of LMH, although I liked him in City Hunter. I guess I still haven't gotten over the fact that Geum Jang Di didn't end up with my beloved Yoon Ji Hoo in Boys Over Flowers, lol. Still, I'm happy for my fellow Kpop/Kdrama fans who had the chance to see him in the flesh. And I find it adorable that LMH likes adobo.

On Saturday, LMH tweeted this photo together with the following message: I  would like to say thank you to all the fans who made out to the Bench event. Adobo ^^ Masarab! 반가웠어요 ^^ (Yes, he really wrote 'masarab'.)

So what if Lee Min Ho, Choi Siwon, and Lee Donghae all got together for one Bench event? It's gonna be chaos, I tell you! :)

Moving on to my Kdramas, Nice Guy/Innocent Man finally came to an end last Thursday. I began watching this drama with the fear that Kang Maru might suffer the same fate as the lead actor in Mianhada, Saranghanda. After all, the screenwriter of both dramas was one and the same person.

Kang Maru loves Seo Eun Gi ^^

But surprise, surprise! Kang Maru survived, and the drama had a happy ending! Thank you, writer-nim for not killing the lead actor! Yay!

Also on my spazz list is Full House Take 2, a remake of the 2004 drama which starred Rain and Song Hye Kyo. I am liking the current version better, despite No Min Woo's noodle hair and Hwang Jung-eum's afro.

Better than the first. :)

I've been a fan of No Min Woo since My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, so I guess I'm a bit biased with this version.  I like Park Ki Woong too, and in my opinion, he deserves a first-lead role in his next drama. Enough of the second leads! He deserves to shine! :)

As for I Miss You, I'm so looking forward to episodes 5 and 6. I reckon Park Yoochun and Yoon Eun Hye are finally appearing in the upcoming episodes, so I'm all antsy for Wednesday and Thursday.

I literally miss you, Yoochun!

How about you? What are you watching lately? :)

Spazz Saturday #2 | Choi Siwon + Lee Donghae.

Welcome to the second week of Spazz Saturday!
I'm thankful for the hits received by the debut post - it was more than what I expected! I'm hoping more of you can join the fun and link-up this time.

This week, I am spazzing on no other than (drum roll, please!) Siwon (the poster boy of this meme/linky party) and Donghae of Super Junior! They were in town a few days ago for the launching of their Bench product line. Oh yes, they're the latest endorser of the world-renowned brand made famous by the man himself - Mr. Ben Chan.

Check out some of Siwon and Donghae's (collectively known as 'SiHae' among Kpop fans) photos from Bench's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection.

The last photo left me with my mouth hanging open. And I'm sure the 25,000 ELFs (EverLasting Friends of Super Junior) in attendance to the 'SiHae in Manila' event would agree. :)

Fangirl Chronicles | Super Junior + Park Yoochun + Big Bang.

Amidst the brouhaha that is the Big Bang Alive Tour in Manila, the fact still stands that I am first and foremost, a Super Junior fangirl.

Today was a good day to stay at home (no classes today for the little man) and receive my shipment from YesAsia firsthand. Inside the package was my copy of Sexy, Free, and Single version B. And just my luck, I got a Teukie photocard!

My fellow Nappeun Yeoja and SuJu fangirl Liz tells me this is a sign that I should pay more attention to Teukie, who will be enlisted in the military soon. He is actually my first bias in the group, but lately I only have eyes for Siwon.

And you really can't blame me for that. I mean, look at those chocolate abs! :)

Speaking of Siwon, I finally got to watch Skip Beat, in between the currently airing Kdramas that I'm also watching (online) right now. And at last, he has found his way to SM City San Pablo, together with Donghae.

My little man is an ELF, too!

Yes, they're Bench endorsers, and from what I've heard from Mr. Ben Chan - owner and founder of Bench - the boys are coming to Manila next month.

Excited? You bet I am!!!
Must. See. Siwon. Must. Must. Must!

Picture bomb smiling from behind! Haha!

Or else I'd be singing to the tune of Sorry, Sorry, just like last January when he flew all the way to Manila without prior notice. Siwonnie, I need two weeks notice at least, arassoyo? 

Anyhoo, my Radish Doll also made it to my doorstep today. If you're a JYJ fan or have watched The Rooftop Prince, then I'm sure you know who Radish Doll is. Pig Rabbit now has someone to keep him company.

Radish Doll + Pig Rabbit = kyeopta :)

My Big Bang Alive Tour Lightstick came in today, too. And guess what? I still don't have tickets yet!

Of all the days that my internet connection had to conk out, it had to be on the first selling day of the Alive Tour tickets. Talk about irony and sheer bad luck! The VIP seats are all sold-out since Saturday night, and so are most of the Lower Boxes. Now I really have no choice but to go for the Upper Box. But not General Admission, please!

I'll see what I can do tomorrow, when I go to SM and purchase my concert tickets from here. I hope it won't be as painstaking as last Saturday, when VIPs had to stand in a queue for hours just to buy tickets for the concert.

The little man wants to watch the concert, too.

If only I could take him along, I would. And if only the ticket prices won't cost me my arm and leg! :)
