The EKS BOX Date

Part of the boyfriend's prize for winning the tournament last month was this free 5-hour use of XBOX and KINECT at EKS BOX GAMES. So when he told me I was the happiest. Just the thought of me dancing like there's no tomorrow made me giddy. Ok, I'll let you in on a little secret, I'm an aspiring dancer and I love dancing but too bad I have two left feet *sigh*.

Going back, we'd been planning to try Dance Kinect since forever but we were just too chicken to dance shamelessly at the Mall~cause duh, it's really like having a real dance concert in front of  thousands of people. I mean, hello I'm no dancer and I really don't have the nerve to show my awkward dance moves when all eyes are on me. Hell no! Good thing  EKS BOX GAMES has this  private place that you can rent upstairs. How cool is that? Now I can dance all out without minding the public watching. I can pull off any move for all I care~lols. So to make the story short, we used his prize and danced like we own the dance floor baby! 


EKS BOX GAMES is located at 3001 Ramon Magsaysay Brgy 418 Zone 43 Sampaloc Manila.


They offer gamers a wide range of games at an affordable price *check the list on the photo above. Like their FB page and find out more HERE.


I love that the place is so private and oh can I just say that the lights are great! I so love it. 


And because dancing is a social minefield.. and everybody dance now~here we go lols. Actually, on second thought we better not *in public*. Hahahaha! Kidding aside, we really had fun and still planning to do it on a weekly basis. Come'on guys this is a good way to lose weight. Seriously. We maybe have the gawkiest and the stiffest dance moves but with enough confidence we can pull off any move. I kid you not. So don't be afraid to go it alone~at least. Lols.

Ok, moving on.. we got tired and all sweat so we decided to try another match. We played NBA 2k14.


It's Western Conference finals so we had an OKC vs SPURS match. And since I'm not a 2k14 junkie I honestly don't know how to play so the boyfriend gave an NBA 101. 


Waddup coach?! Did I give you a good match? I bet I did. Oh well, better luck next time. 


So what's a date without a selfie/wefie?  We looked like we had a good time. Oh yes it was awesome. Surely not a usual date. Something new to do together.

A girl need a guy that...

who can hold her hand tightly
who can surprise her w/ flowers
who can carry her umbrella when it rains
who can let her ride on his motocycle
and who can always appreciate her sweet kiss <3

Somebody's Hero: Happy Mother's Day Mommy!


I don't know how to put this into words~or maybe no words can really express how thankful and grateful  I am to have you as my Mom. I'm no good at showing my emotions so I hope this song will do.

"Somebody's Hero"

She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world, 
No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee
A little kiss is all she needs
The keeper of the cheerios
The voice that brings Snow White to life
Bedtime stories every night
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver
But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver
For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition
But now her baby's movin' on, and she'll soon be missin' her
But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down her face

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress
She gave her wings to leave the nest
It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle she walks right by
Looks back into her mother's eyes
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

Thirty years have flown right past
Her daughters' starin' at all the photographs
Of her mother, and she wishes she could be like that
Oh, but she already is

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair
She runs a brush through her silver hair
The envy of the nursing home
She drops by every afternoon
Feeds her mama with a spoon
And that smile lets her know
Her mother's smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero




Yes you are Mom, you are my hero, you and Dad. Thank you for your unconditional and infinite love. Thank you for taking good care of me~of us. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for understanding and trusting me. Most of all thank you for standing by my side and believing in me even when everybody thought otherwise. I love you forever Mommy. Happy Mother's Day! <3

Mai-Vission Board

Turning 27 last February gave me a deep feeling for self-realization. It made me realize what a torpid person I'd been for the past years. I felt like I'd been procrastinating on everything and I am missing a lot. Oh, too little time I have left before I turn 30 (how time flies really fast) and yet I still have so many things to cross off on my dream to-do list *sigh*. I feel sorry for the wasted time~ but since I decided to look at things from a different perspective~ and to be more positive all the time, I think this is a perfect opportunity for me to start making the most of my time.

Though I know that age is just a number and that I'll be forever young at heart (and I'll always look like I'm 18~lols), I shouldn't waste time. That's why I made my very own 'Vision Board' for me to visualize and believe like I already own everything that I want. As the Law of attraction simply says~you attract into your life whatever you think about~so true!



So here are the things I want to accomplish for the next six years~or should I say before 2020..or at least before I decide to settle down and have a family of my own.



1. Go to Dubai and find a stable and better job. 

I already mentioned here early last year my plan to go abroad (read here). I chose Dubai because my aunts and uncle are already working there~it wouldn't be hard for me to look for a place to stay and of course to roam around since I have them with me. Another thing, levying taxes against personal income from employment is against the law in Dubai, oh yes, Dubai is a tax free country (how cool is that?). It's been a year and I'm still here *anyare?* but no worries, like what I've said I'm on my way there, I'm working on it~ and I think it's safe to say that I'm a work in progress. 


2. Save. Save. Save and Save.

I'm a self proclaimed spendthrift but I guess things will be a lot different there. I know Dubai is a good place to shop and that could be pretty tempting but I must know when to limit myself. I can do it!


3. Study Fashion Design.

I'd been asking myself if what really motivates me to work? Do I love what I'm doing? Am I happy? Is this what I really want to do? NO! I know that being a teacher is a pretty good job but this isn't the job I want to do for the rest of my life. I just use this as a temporary resting place, until I found something more fulfilling to do with my life. And now I'm certain and I've decided to pursue what I really love. 


4. Be a Fashion Designer and start my own Clothing Line.

I've been working really hard so designing have had to take a back seat. I remember even when I was a little~I love making paper dolls and designing clothes for them. So even when I was a kid I already know what I want in life. I just have to wait a little longer but I know I'll be one in no time. I just have to trust Him.


5. Buy a House and Lot for my family and for myself.

Growing up we're just renting a place to live and having an own house is an ultimate dream for me and for my family. A purple house to be exact~yay!


6. Own a Car.

Though I can't drive, I love road trips and I always want to have a car. It's the boyfriend and I's dream and soon it'll be reality.  How about a purple Lamborghini? Sounds great!


7. Globetrot.

I love to travel. I want to explore. I like to learn new things. I want to make new friends. And I badly want to see the world. I want to discover places I've never been to and experience beautiful things the world has to offer. Yet I don't know when and where to start~I surely will~soon.


8. Have an 'UbeKeso' Wedding.

Along with the list I made above I think this is the most important~at least for me.  It's every girls dream to have that one special day when they are the fairy tale's princess. It's that one day when they will be the most beautiful and happiest they have ever been~so regardless of what they have and what they want living happily ever after is the one that count the most.

******

Doing this made me even more realize that my life seems no where to go. I did not have a plan. I just drifted through my days without something to look forward to. I kept on making excuses. I'd been procrastinating~ so my life has become stagnant. Good thing, I know better now~I already have the courage to follow my plans and I continue to push things off. This list of things to do is made to bring more awareness into my life. To keep me posted and to remind me to make good use of my time and energy~and what I really want in life. This may seem like frivolous, fantastical and impossible to do in a short period of time but everything is possible for one who believes. And besides, it doesn't really mean that I can't continue to do these things after 2020~ I still have a lifetime to do all the things I want. I just have to live my life with  purpose every single day.

The Ye Dang Experience


We'd been planning to eat out somewhere for a couple of months now and finally, after several times of planning and backing out~ it happened last Friday night~yey! We wanted to try something new so we decided to try authentic Korean cuisine. Prior to that, we'd been searching different Korean restaurants online. After reading several blogs and reviews we all agreed to try Ye Dang. They said it's one of the best places that offer delicious Korean dishes with reasonable price~so why not try?! I was excited but having second thought at the same time. I'd been teaching Koreans for almost six years now but this was the first time I'd been to a decent Korean restaurant and dine the Korean way. Though I'm a self- proclaimed Kdrama addict and I love Lee Min Ho to bits~ I  must admit I wasn't really a fan of Korean food. I only eat bibimbap so I was a bit skeptical if my tummy gonna love the food~but to my surprise it exceeded my expectations! I enjoyed the food so much that I really wanna go back for more. Yay!  Ok, enough of me~I'll just let the photos do the talking!


I was with my girls~Vicky and May. We went there right after work and since Yedang opens until 10:30 we're really in a hurry.


The place was good, you can really feel the 'Korean-ish' atmosphere~though we weren't able to take decent photos of the whole place because we were really hungry, we could eat a horse!


We just grabbed the menu and ordered right away. We ordered Grill Beef meat, Roast Pork belly, Seafood and Beef Pancake and Beef short ribs soup.


Grilling was amazing! I really enjoyed watching 'Ate' doing her thing. And the smell, oh that was so heavenly!


The food are ready and so are we!


Aren't we that hungry?! I was really excited to try everything that we ordered except for that mint leaf! It taste like grass, I think lols! I'm a goat~I love veggies but there's always an exception I must say.


The whole Ye Dang experience was awesome. We really do love the food and the price. Everything was great. We'll definitely coming back again and again and again! So what are you waiting for? If you love Korean food this is really a place for you.

My Love From The Star: Do-Min-Joon & Cheon Song-yi


Oh well, need i say more?! This drama was a big hit not just in Korea but also in other parts of Asia and will air soon in here in the Philippines~yey! I'm done watching it but I can't wait to watch it all over again. Yeah, I'm just hooked and I just can't get over it. I think I'm still having separation anxiety with the casts and all.  I'm an avid Kdrama fan and this one is surely going to be one of my favorites. I'm not gonna say anything bout the drama yet cause i don't want to give spoilers *excuses~I'm just too lazy*~instead I'll just share some of my Do-Min-Joon & Cheon Song-yi's fave momments *so sorry if the photos aren't in order though*. Here you go!










































Aren't they the cutest and the sweetest? I couldn't agree more. Ok guys, I'll share more bout the drama as soon as I got all my senses back~lols!  See you soon :)
