Movie Date Look
Tonight me and my co worker went out to watch "Etiquette for Mistresses" a 2015 Philippine romantic-drama film based on the best-selling novel with the same title by Ms. Julie Yap-Daza we watch it at the Podium Cinema. Being inside the Cinema may major problem is the air-conditioner and I make sure I have my scarf with me, but this time I did a little twist to my outfit of the night. Instead of using the usually scarves or cover-ups, I decided to put in use my Orange Banana Republic Dress Long sleeve that I haven't worn since the day I bought it. When I was looking at the mirror I find it too dull, something is missing and to add a little fun (which by the way my trade mark and personality) I wore my mini jersey dress with prints and use my long sleeve as a cover-up paired with my kicks. It was a perfect Korean look for the night ;)

Korean Drama Review : Legendary Witches ( 전설의 마녀 )
PERSONAL REVIEW
Legendary Witches is a 2014 South Korean television series starring Han Ji-hye,Ha Seok-jin, Go Doo-shim, Oh Hyun-kyung and Ha Yeon-soo. This drama tells the story of four female prisoners named Moon Soo-in (played by actress Han Ji-hye) an orphan lady who marries Ma Do-hyun (played by actor Go Joo-won) an eldest son of a chaebol family who owns a bakery corporation called The Shinhwa Group. Her life was hell while living with Ma Do Hyun families, whom later put her in jail for falsely accusing her for their illegal business practices and stock manipulation that she didn't commit. This is all happen when her husband suddenly died from tragic plane crash. She was sent to Cheongju's Penitentiary for Women, wherein she meet her kind hearted cellmates. Starts with the oldest of them all Shim Bok-nyeo (played by actress Go Doo-shim) who was falsely accused of killing her husband and son. At the cell Shim Bok Nyeo was their mother figure. Then there is the tough-as-nails, foul-mouthed Son Poong-geum (played by actress Oh Hyun-kyung) who was convicted for fraud doings and last but not the least member is Seo Mi Oh (played by actress Ha Yeon-soo) a former model who is falsely charged of attempted murder of her boyfriend, Shinhwa Group's youngest son Ma Do-jin (played by actor Do Sang-woo).
This four women will becomes friends, knows each other secret and form a bond that made them treat each other like a family. While they were in jail, they will join the baking classes being taught by Nam Woo-suk played by actor Do Sang-woo, a hotel chef and a widower who is raising his daughter alone after the death of his wife. Because of his father-in-law's suggestion, (who by the way is the long time pen pal of Shim Bok Nyeo) he became a volunteer at the local prison's vocational training center. And that is where he meet Soo-in and begins to fall for her. After there baking lessons these women suddenly realize that there is life after prison and when they were discharge, they put their baking skills learned in prison to use, and open a small bakery together with the help of their another cell mate Kim Young Ok (played by my favorite Korean actress of all time Kim Soo Mi from marrying the mafia movies). Few days before Kim Young Ok release she won the lottery whom later she finance their bakery business and face its stiff competition with Shinhwa Group Confectioneries.
This drama is worth watching, I love its casting, and the story line, is just perfect and by far this drama made to my number spot of best drama watch as of 2015. My 4 days sleepless was well paid off. Thanks to Kim Young Ok for her funny stints that made this drama even more entertaining. I love how she would suddenly sing the "Gen..gen..I'm a gentleman!" song with matching dance step. And her reaction and sentiments when she was paired with an old Ahjussi who is using a hearing aid and dentures teeth. (That episode was my favorite part I was laughing out very hard.)
Spoiler Alert! Read at your own risk!!!
Moon Soo-in and Nam Woo-suk will eventually end up together even if Soo-in husband was revealed at the end part that he was actually alive, and was in coma for 2 years, but eventually died at because of some complications. And Nam Woo-suk was actually Shim Bok-nyeo son's he was save from the fire by Ma Do-jin mother Cha Aeng-ran who is later become an ally with the Legendary woman. And accepted Seo Mi Oh as her son's wife. While the villain Ma Joo-ran and his father Ma Tae-san will be put in jail for wrong doings.
MY RATINGS: 8/10

Korean Drama Review : Angry Mom ( 앵그리맘 )
PERSONAL REVIEW
Angry Mom is a 2015 South Korean television series starring Kim Hee-sun, Kim Yoo-jung, and Ji Hyun-woo. I was skeptical when I was reading its plot, I find it unrealistic in this generation for a mother ( Jo Kang Ja played by Kim Hee Seon) to go back to school in disguise as a student just to find out the culprit who harm her daughter Oh Ah Ran (played by Kim Yoo Jeong). And what argue me to watch it, is the fact that the story line is original (correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen any similar or related synopsis with this drama). And this drama tackle the very sensitive yet very common case in South Korea which is School Bullying. Jo Kang Ja was force to do this initiative due to lack of trust to the government justice. She felt like no one is listening and interested to help her out.
She confronted the school management for the matter, the police, and the society in general. And still no one cared. And because of her love she then becomes determined to save her daughter in her own means, and stop the bullies. Thanks to her youthful appearance, she managed to enroll in her daughter's elite high school to investigate the bullying happening in school with the help by her best friend Han Gong Joo who acted as her mother. Later on she will be getting help from her freshly hired teacher Park No Ah (Ji Hyun Woo), and her new friends at school.
As they reveal how deep they will have to dig to uproot the evil and lies the school has keep for a long time. Because beyond bullying, Jo Kang Ja will uncover some deep rooted corruption and dark secrets, running all the way to the higher-ups of Korean society. It takes things a little bit extreme, but I wouldn’t say it’s a depressing or scary drama because there are enough elements of comedy to lighten your mood and some romance which makes you enjoy too, but unfortunately it is not the focus of this drama so don't get your hopes too high okay? So there you go this drama somehow balance their synopsis really well. Which makes this drama so interesting to watch in each episodes!
 |
| Jo Kang Ja bff Han Gong Joo. She makes me laugh out loud. Shes the comedy Queen. |
 |
| Jo Kang Ja, Hong Sang Tae and Go Bok Dong (Jo Kang Ja beat this two guys). |
 |
| Mother and daughter. |
Spoiler Alert! Read at your own risk!!!
 |
| Hong Sang Tae and Oh Ah Ran at Sang Tae room one of my fave scene! |
Hong Sang-tae played by BARO of idole group B1A4 and Oh Ah Ran will developed a mutual feelings towards each other. And Oh Ah Ran is not Ahn Dong Chil (played by Kim Hee-Won) daughter rather than he is her niece. Gosh, you have no idea how disturb I am during those episodes where Oh Ah Ran tries to ask Ahn Dong Chil if he is her father. I'm like please NO WAY!!!, and I glad he isn't. And oh the saddest part is when Jo Kang Ja husband died due to bad constructions at the school annex where in he was the head engineer of the said construction. He died trying to save Oh Ah Ran. He was such a good guy and his role was a total waste (I think). I wonder why the writer think to have his role end that way. Anyway, to there you go my Spoiler Alert!
MY RATINGS: 7/10

Wednesday Nightout
Last night was been my very first night out for this year. Well technically it wasn't like a party night out of my friends but rather a work night out related. Our boss dragged as along to attend the People Asia's 'Women of Style &Substance' 2015 gala. Our dearest boss Carissa Cruz Evangelista is one of the awardee.The said event was held at The Marriott Grand Ballroom in Resort World Pasay City. It was so nice being with my co-worker that night, because for the longest time we been working together it was our first time attending an event altogether.
Do you know that feeling when out of the blue you saw your bias? Well guy's I just had that feeling when I bump Antoinette Taus that
night. I've been her huge fan since the day I saw her in Anna Karenina. A Philippine famous 1996 TV drama series produced by Viva Television and GMA Network. With the kind of job I have it is kinda normal seeing some TV personalities and to be honest I don't like to take a snap with them. But TONI is an exception! Not because she's pretty and super nice but because she is my Teen Idol. My super duper bias when I was a teenager. It was so surreal seeing her like that up close! I grow up idolizing her and even if she took a hiatus from Philippine TV to pursue a career abroad. I still follow and stalk her social media account because that's how I love her!
Kaya I wouldn't miss for the world having that kind of opportunity to have a photo op with her. I'm glad she said yes when I asked her to have a selca with me. With a bonus, a minute after I posted our picture on my Instagram account and tagged her, she commented on it. What a total fan mode moment it was! I was so thrilled beyond thrilled. Isn't she a sweetheart?

Korean Drama Review : Who Are You: School 2015 (후아유: 학교 2015)
Who Are You: School 2015 is a 2015 South Korean television series, starring Kim So-hyun, Yook Sung-jae and Nam Joo-hyuk. It's a story of two identical twins Go Eun-byul and Lee Eun-bi ( Kim So Hyun ) , who were separeted at an early age. Eun-bi lives at the Love House, an orphanage in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province, wherein the younger orphan kids look up to her as their mother figure. And she keeps the fact that she is being bullied at school by a gang of mean girls led by Kang So-young.
 |
On the other hand, Go Eun-byul is studying at Sekang High School, the most prestigious private high school in Seoul's Gangnam District. A well loved and respected among her peers, she is also blessed to have Cha Song-joo and Lee Shi-jin, her best pals at school and her childhood bestfriend Han Yi-an ( Nam Joo-hyuk ), the school's star swimmer. And she had the luck to be adopted by a well to do lady name Song Mi-kyung (Jeon Mi-seon). Eun-bi and Eun-byul look exactly alike, but only Eun-byul is aware of the other's existence. Unlike the cheerful Eun-bi, Eun-byul is prickly, rude and secretive.
Eun-byul mysteriously disappears on the day of their school field trip tp Tongyeong. At the same time, Eun-bi was unfairly expelled from her school and decided to jumps off a bridge in a suicide attempt. Ten days later Eun-bi woke up with amnesia and was mistaken for her twin sister Eun-byul, and her adoptive mother takes her home to Seoul, where she starts living as Eun-byul.
 |
Personal Review:
Okay don't get so excited guys! Just because Kim So-hyun and Yook Sung-jae are perfect match and share great bonds of chemistry they would be together. That excitement would leads you to disappointment as you reach to episodes 10 up to finale. Alright I'm a hardcore Tae-Bi shipper since the first day they meet. But after watching this drama I was super frustrated and depressed because of how Gong Tae Kwang ( Yook Sung-jae ) had his heart broken because Eun-Bi choose Han Yi Ahn (Nam Joo-hyuk) at the end part. I was hoping Yi Ahn and Eun Byul to be together, but it didn't, the writer ruin my expectations. Tae-Bi has the great chemistry since the beginning. I never hinted they would never end up together. While Yi Ahn and Eun Byul were pretty obvious that this duo would end up together because Yi Ahn has been in love for Eun Byul for 10 years, they like each other and they share the same bonds because they grow up together and they certainly know each other for Christ sake. Yet, the writer make some sort of twist on the later part of the drama which makes it so horrible to watch. Yet despite some of the acting falling on the stiff side and an ending that loses steam, show manages to remain a fun watch overall.
LESSON LEARNED FROM THIS DRAMA
Bullying is a crime and not just a problem. It was kinda frustrating seeing how the school administration on this drama didn't care much of the issue. But yet, this drama shows how scary bullying can lead someone's life to danger. I also like the fact that Eun-byul classmates and friends were so supportive and they dislike Kang So-young actions for being mean and a bully to Eun-Bi.
Eun-Bi on the other hand is admirable for defending someone who is being bullied by Kang So-young and her friends and she wasn't afraid of the consequence her action would do to her later.
MY RATINGS: 9/10

Cebu Pacific Body Weight Counter Experience
I went to Cebu yesterday for a day business trip meeting with my boss and I just personally experience the #BodyWeightCounter. No joke! I wasn't even surprise when I heard it from our driver that night. He said he won't be able to check-in our belongings because the passenger needs to be weigh in also. We were having late dinner and I'm like...for real? (in my mind). Because technically I wasn't surprise when he told me about it. Because prior that I saw a post from my friends wall about this "thing" it was trending that day by the way. And I thought it was all for fun but turns out it's not. It could be humiliating in the sense that, I am not gifted with perfect body I am not slim nor skinny, I think I am beyond average I considered myself "chubby". But on the other hand I am excited to experience this thing not because it was trending that day but because I think its fun. I mean, its not something we experience everyday and who cares if I'm 100kls or so. But seriously I'm not 100 kilos, I am 60 kls.
While browsing the comment on that trending picture I was reading some funny comments while the rest chubby peeps like me where worried because of course you know. Some says your going to pay extra amount if your overweight which makes no sense. Because the management does this to know all your weights and your belongings to balance with your aircraft capacity for safety measure. And its FREE, so worry no need no more. It's just that you have to bear and close your eyes if your weight is 100kls or more :) This procedure is only applicable if your flights designated aircraft is small and a normal ATR (Avions de Transport Regional) flights.
