I was so lucky to be able to see Lee Min Ho two times during his stay in the Philippines. One is in Smart-Araneta Coliseum for his Benchsetter Funmeet and the other at the New Glorietta Activity Center for his autograph signing. Eventhough I'm kind of jealous to all the people who were able to meet him and see him closer than I did, it's fine. :">

Arrived at the Araneta Center around 2:30 P.M and formed our line to enter around 4:50 P.M.

We were to sit at the Upper Box B and luckily we got a seat near the ledge. Minutes before the program started, we bought binoculars for P 75.00. That thing saved us from too much boredom!! Really had fun people watching and of course, the fact that we were able to see LMH a bit closer through the lens.

Groups danced before he entered and...

My friend and I were wondering how he ends up looking good in all the pictures. Well, he's insanely handsome! No need to wonder, our bad.

And he's so good to the girls and guys who won and was able to go up the stage. Aww, the hugs, shake hands and photos that I AM seriously envious of.

And... we just couldn't stop ourselves and also went to Glorietta today.
HAHAHA. I was able to see him closer.

I kind of regret not taking much pictures but when he was up the stage, I just couldn't remove my stare so I neglected my camera. The pushing crowd didn't even matter. Again, lucky girls for holding both his hands today.

Good thing I decided to go to Glorietta. Seeing him upclose; I'm literally out of words. Thank you, Bench for bringing him here.

Until next time, Lee Min Ho Oppa!

JJ, please be next!

At Maginhawa.

You'd actually find a lot of restos at Teacher's Village, it's a great place for food tripping because of the varieties and most of the times, the restaurants there are budget-friendly.

Here's one: Friuli Trattoria

Angel Hair ... I fogot the name.
Good for 2-3 persons.

See the tomatoes? I like my pastas a little bit sour or the real Italian style. This one didn't disappoint!

Half Hawaiian and Half Cheese Steak

Thin crust! I like.

For me though, these Mozzarella sticks were the highlight of this meal.

All these cost us around P 550.00 (?)
Not sure though.

This ice cream store is in Magiting St. (near Maginhawa) at Teacher's Village.

What I ordered was S'more under the Dragon's Breath Selection.

Four sticks of S'mores and a cup of liquid nitrogen for P 55.00

Excuse my face in the next pictures. hehe.

After dipping, you would want to wait a little bit before taking a bite... unless you want to burn your mouth from too much coldness.

I'm not well-versed with Chemistry but assuming that there's still oxygen and carbon dioxide present in the area, I believe this is safe. It's just the element nitrogen, which we have a lot in our atmosphere, in its (cold) liquefied state.

What's more exciting than taking a bite of this?
"playing" with the fog!

My friend even pointed out that the vapor also came out from my nostrils. Just wasn't able to capture it in photo.

Show me things as simple yet interesting as this, I'm already impressed!

Just be extra careful in handling your cup of liquid nitrogen though, it's a cryogenic fluid and can freeze/burn you rapidly once spilled or came in contact with you.

The place was small, notice the standing girls at the back waiting for tables so my friend and I left immediately after eating ~~and playing.~~ Nonetheless, really a fun experience! I'd love to come back there and eat this again or try their other ice cream offerings.

We meet again, Donu!

BULGOGI

Must-try especially with rice!
One of the most delicious I've eaten so far.

Grilling the pork and some of the side dishes.

It's one set of side dishes per order of samgyupsal.

부대찌개
Romanized : Boodae Chigae

This soup is a combination of American and Korean favorites with its history dating several years back during the Korean War when the American Army just combine their left-overs like Spam, hotdogs with Korean staples like Kimchi and Ramyeon.

Bibimbap
I haven't eaten any Bibimbap with this much vegetables ingredients but hey, still good!

Korean dishes are sure healthy with these vegetables and lots of water because they're sooo spicy!

I've finally tasted how it was to actually put gochujang (chili paste) rather than duenjang (soybean paste) on my sang chu sam.

Food Hotness Threshold - Level-up!

I've eaten here for so many times, and have been ordering their Sumo Meal if I have someone with me.

So...

Upon ordering the kuya asked us which viand do we prefer, I saw that they're now offering Honey Chicken Terriyaki in the Sumo Meal choices so I chose that, and the person I was with preferred Fried Chicken Karaage *as usual*

For the longest time that we ordered sumo meals, there are two viands, vegetables, 2 cups of rice and 2 glasses of red iced tea.

Here comes our order:

Tadaaaah!
Just chicken terriyaki which portion is less than what I'm used to if it's Tokyo Tokyo.

I showed the server the receipt that we ordered sumo meal which is supposed to have Karaage too but she told us that if the viand is HCT, you'd only get HCT and nothing else. Why? "BECAUSE IT'S LIKE THAT"

Was it us who misunderstood?

Why would the kuya ask us, "Ano pa po aside sa Chicken Terriyaki?" when you'd only get that pala. He shoud've told us prior to finalizing our orders, whatever.

'Cause of it's a sumo meal, nagm-make sense ba isa lang 'yun ulam? At hindi nila sabihin na ganun pala 'yung rule nun? Kahit Terriyaki pa 'yan. We felt somehow cheated with this one, he should've told us sooner. HAHA. Gutom eh.
