Saturday.

[PERSONAL]
Still re-organizing and updating my bucket list. I didn't imagine it to be this difficult. I've also looked into other people's bucket list to get some more ideas, information and tips. Found out that I can actually just create an entry, like for example, 'travel around the world' or 'visit all 50 places on my travel list' and then just come up with another post/list of places I wanted to visit, instead of listing almost all of them down on my list. And then I can also just do 1a, 1b, 1c instead of making separate entries for similar concepts (i.e. learn a foreign language, visit the 7 new wonders, etc.). It's amazing how much I've learned just by reading other people's life list.  Anyway, I created an account on My Life List.org It'll help me organize and keep track of my progress. They have categories for each 'things to do' which makes it easier to organize your thoughts and your list. Hopefully, I'll be done with this list before my 26th birthday this coming Thursday. ~☺

[CURRENT EVENTS]
I was browsing twitter when I chance upon tweets all relating to the 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile. And warnings/alerts of a tsunami that the quake had set off which threatens nations around the Pacific Ocean. According to Yahoo! News:

"The largest earthquake ever recorded struck the same area of Chile on May 22, 1960. The magnitude-9.5 quake killed 1,655 people and left 2 million homeless. The tsunami that it caused killed people in Hawaii,Japan and the Philippines and caused damage to the west coast of the United States."

It is said to be the 5th most powerful quake since the 1900. There were also tweets mentioning something about the tsunami possibly hitting eastern Philippines by 1 - 2 pm tomorrow. It does sound scary but at least we have the assurance that everyone had been warned and everyone is prepared for whatever the outcome would be.

Update as of 1:51 AM (Manila): @CNNbrk Earliest arrival time for wave that could affect Hawaii is 11:05 a.m. (4:05 p.m. ET).

[KPOP]

On a lighter note, I'm absolutely loving 카라 Kara's new song Lupin from their 3rd mini album, and its accompanying music video. I've been listening to the song since Wednesday and I've just downloaded the music video from youtube. Been watching it since last night. hehe. ☺ I think my brother, who shares the room with me, is actually getting annoyed with it. Why wouldn't he? Eh, I had these five songs on repeat mode since 9AM: (i) Kara - Lupin; (ii) SNSD - Chocolate Love; (iii) Boa - Energetic; (iv) After School - Because of You; and (v) Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra. I'm actually thinking of making tomorrow an 'all girl group' day, wherein, I will only listen to songs of and watch music videos or shows of, you guessed it, Korean girl groups. Hahaha.

Anyway, what I like about this song is that it's catchy. Although I can only understand some of the lyrics of the song (mostly the ones in English, since my Korean knowledge is limited to basic greetings and verbs), the beat of the song is enough to make you wanna dance or even sing along with them.


I also like the choreography for this song. I like the 'hallo/halla' part and emergency exit dance (It sort of reminds me of the choreo for SHINee's Ring Ding Dong). I also like the part where Hara sort of flips her hair. She looks so pretty in the music video. What else? The music video is actually good too. They finally shed off their cutesy image. They really look like grown ladies in this new vid. Kudos to the one who came up with the concept. It's definitely a different Kara. I got so used to seeing so much colors every time I watch their vid. ㅋㅋㅋ.☺



I also love their outfits. I like the white one the most. And the girls look fab! I like Nicole and Seungyeon's new hairstyle. I think 승연's hair cut suits her. Actually, I've mistaken her for Nicole a couple of times in this vid. ㅋㅋㅋ Because Nicole used to have that hairstyle I think? Anyway, congrats to the girls!

I'm back in the office from my recent trip to Thailand. Despite feeling lazy, I dragged myself off from the comforts of my bed and reminded myself of my new year resolution. Hahaha. Didn't think it'll be that hard. Anyway, I arrived at the office almost before 2pm. I know it's quite late -but I still showed up! 


Anyway, it was just another boring day. I didn't do anything at all. Except maybe eat and make kwento about my trip to Thailand. Also, today, my friend Tey gave me her pasalubong from her trip to Hong Kong last January. Sabi ko nga, parang diet pills 'to ah... hahaha. It was very much appreciated. Thanks Tey!♥




So, here I am at the office at 8pm doing just about any mundane thing that you can think of when you're sooo bored and you got absolutely nothing to do. And while I was searching random things in the net, I 'discovered' that there will be a fourth season of my absolute fave reality TV show: The Amazing Race Asia. This news really made my day! So, just like any avid fan, I immediately checked the axn website and found out that the audition will end in 33 days. I can't wait to watch the race on TV!!! But unfortunately, I do have to wait until September or October to be able to watch Season 4. For now, I'd settle for reruns of Season 2 (my favorite season). Wonder who'll represent the Philippines for this season. Hope they are as good as Marc and Rovilson or Tisha and Jeff. Actually, it made me think of which celebrity I would want to see in the competition representing the Philippines. Possible candidates: Billy Crawford and Nikki Gil? (too famous and too busy), who else? Bianca Gonzalez? (another busy person!) Hmm... sino pa kaya pwede?
