For us who can't get enough (I don't think I'll ever get enough!) Bench is giving us another opportunity to catch our Lee Min Ho Oppa at three different malls on Sunday, March 23, 2014.

FUNMEET AND GLORIETTA 2012 link: here.

All you have to do is purchase P 1,000.00 worth of Bench merchandise with So Inlove or Sure Blue fragrances to get a chance to receive a signed Lee Min Ho poster. Tingin ko personal niya iaabot 'yung poster!!!! :>

EDIT: Thanks to a reader for pointing this out. I didn't know about this because it wasn't announced last night. I thought that you'll automatically be given a signed poster once you buy worth P 1000.00 of Bench products but as what Bench said in their Instagram account earlier today, "For every P1k worth of Bench purchases that includes Sure Blue or So In Love EDT in participating stores, a customer will automatically get an entry pass and a CHANCE to score an autographed poster of Lee Min Ho! Promo runs today until tom March 23 only." So raffle pa pala itez.

But of course, should you opt not to buy Bench merchandise anymore and you're okay just by staring at him, you're still welcome to go there.

The venue and time are as follows:

3:00 PM - Trinoma ACTIVITY CENTER
5:00 PM - Glorietta ACTIVITY CENTER

6:30 PM - SM MALL OF ASIA OFFICIAL MUSIC HALL

Just like when Siwon and Donghae went here last 2012, pwede manood from sa mga upper floors link: here. Okay, lalayo pa ba e nung nagpunta si Lee Min Ho sa Glorietta dati, nakatingin lang din kami eh. Ang kaibahan lang talaga, 'yung bibili ay makakapasok at mabibigyan niya ng posters.

Anyway, below are the pictures of today's FUNMEET.

Just like most of us who attended tonight's event, I still can't get over!!

Ganern? Pag si LMH kahit puyat na ko e pinu-push ko pa talagang matapos 'to ngayon. hahaha!

Philippine All Stars Dancers and Sam Oh

Ayan na siyyyaaaaaa. <3

환영해요!! 너무 보고 싶었어요!!

Literal na dimples pa lang ulam na, wala kaya kaming dinner!!

And the staring galore started the moment he entered the stage.

It was so hard not to stare at his face. MY GOLLY.

MY GOLLY ver. 2.0, inggit much ako sa mga naka-hug at naka-selfie! Kelan naman kaya ako?!

아주 잘 생긴 남자... 어떻게 그럴 수가 있어?
네가 보고 싶으면 어떻게 참지?
How can a man be that handsome????? Bawal talaga hindi tumingin!

Unlike his first fanmeet, he sang this time which made the event a lot better. Only I was waiting for his booty shake!!

And I love it that he's now more comfortable interacting with the fans. Thank you, oppa for a kilig-filled night! Still hoping for a selfie/picture with you!

오빠의 집에 꼭 갈게!!

P.S. Grabe, lahat na ng "interaction" ko kay LMH nasa blog na 'to at post agad ang peg! Adik na adik lang. hahahahahaha.

아니, 그냥 사랑해 빠졌어.

Naging Top Fan ako ng Bench/lifestyle + clothing Facebook page kaka-comment at like ko sa mga posts na may Park Seo Joon. HAHAHAHA!

MY BB's BENCH FUNMEET IS FINALLY HAPPENING ON THE 29th of SEPTEMBER AT THE MALL OF ASIA ARENA. <3

PHOTOS FROM PARK SEO JOON'S FAN MEET.

LINK: PARK SEO JOON'S FILMING LOCATIONS I'VE VISITED IN SOUTH KOREA

EDIT: Seo Joon became the model of IAM Worldwide, guys! I heard he's coming back to Manila this October 14, 2023!!!! Will update if they'd post details about it na. OMG. Sana magkita kameeee! ❤️ Lee Min Ho's also coming on the 15th. Ano naaaaaa. Kailangan po ba pumili? 🤣🤣🤣

Got these photos from Wilbros:

Refer to their Facebook page for more information about Park Seo Jun's Fun Meet in Araneta Coliseum on October 14. 😍

Ang layo na ng narating ng Bench from Lee Min Ho's funmeet with Patron's price worth 1,600 PHP to Park Seo Joon's funmeet with Patron A's 6,000 PHP and Patron B's 4,000 PHP. But I'll also give props to myself since there's also progress on my part 'cause I was able to afford a lower box ticket this time worth 3,000 PHP. At kung hindi nga lang pahirapan mag-avail ng Patron A or B e kaya ko ng patusin 'yun... all for Seo Joon. :)))))

I've been supporting Seo Joon eversince "I broke up with Lee Min Ho." :)))) Life has been generous after the funmeets since I've seen Lee Min Ho in person for sooooooo many times such as my experience last winter in Korea link: here. Sana si Seo Joon din, makita ko ng madalas.

This funmeet, albeit not being one of the VIPs, is the culmination of all my silent cheering (or not really silent haha!) and supporting of oppa Park Seo Joon. It's kinda amazing how I used to get excited with seeing his pictures, going to the shooting location of his dramas when I am in Korea and here I am now, holding a lower box invite to see him in person on the 29th!

PSJ's Shooting Locations that I was able to visit in S.Kor:

Morning Calm Arboretum

Namil Villa (Fight For My Way, Fanstastic Four's House)

Medyo wala naman kinalaman 'tong mga susunod kay PSJ, nasa mood lang ako mag post.

On the day that I learned Park Seo Joon might go here in the Philippines for a fan meet, I told myself that I can shell out P 5,000 to P 7,000 for him which could've gotten me a Patron A ticket worth P 6,000. HAHA! I didn't like the mechanics of getting the Patron A and a lot of fans obviously have more dedication than me that I decided to settle for Patron B. Still, a lot more fans have more dedication than me that Trinoma branch has sold off all its Patron B invites just hours after opening... and when I asked the staff on the invite that I can get this afternoon, she told me that only Lower Box and Gen Ad tickets were left. I rushed through the items - not even fitting clothes and jeans - paid the items, found out I miscalculated it, LEFT my credit card with the cashier and I told her to wait for me 'cause I'll be getting something to qualify for the required spending.

I panicked.
I didn't think properly.
I was kinda desperate.

I was annoyed.
I really want to see him on the 29th.

The facebook posts with other fans panicking surely didn't help either 'cause I wasn't able to think things properly. :))) Soon, after I got my invite, we transferred to Vertis North to eat at Ippudo. VN has another Bench branch there, which I knew of, and guess what? THEY HAD A LOT OF LOWER BOX INVITES AND THOSE PURCHASING FROM THAT BRANCH WERE TAKING THEIR TIME SHOPPING. WHAT?! I GOT ANNOYED AGAIN - not at bench, definitely not with PSJ but with myself. Well, it's not like I'll buy different stuff 'cause I only wanted jeans and tshirt in the first place but I could've enjoyed the shopping experience more was I not rushing to get in line at the cashier. Looking back at the whole experience, I realized/re-learned a lot of things:

that I have my OWN blessings and that I must focus on the things I like rather than be affected by other people (if this makes sense). I know how Korea fangirls are and so I wasn't able to control my emotions 'cause I know that it will only take minutes (or few hours) for all the invites to get sold out pero still, may I always remember that I HAVE MY OWN BLESSINGS and if it so happened that I wasn't able to get an invite then I'd be sad (heartbroken probably is the best term) but it will still be a form of blessing in some way. Pero 'yun nga, in life, rushing 'cause we think that blessings are running out or there's not enough blessings for everyone may sometimes be the reason for us not to appreciate and enjoy our own journey. As long as we do our best and act, may something naman para sa'ting lahat eventually.

that I have to be more mindful of my spendings and save as much as I can. I am not getting any younger and I know na kasabay ng pag-increase ng perang dumadating sa'kin e laki din ng increase ng perang ginagastos ko. I am thankful to have the budget for this even if it was only announced two weeks ago pero I think, this time, I should be more responsible with the way I manage my finances. Nakakapag-ipon naman ako pero alam ko rin na kaya ko pang maging mas aggressive saver and investor kung pagtutuunan ko lang lalo ng pansin 'yung aspect na 'yon ng buhay ko. Do you want to share that journey with me? Hehehe. Payaman tayo!!!! We have our own blessings nga, 'di ba? There's enough for everyone. Hindi na lang road to airport but road to financial independence din, mga ganyan. HAHAHA!

that if I want something then I should find ways to make them into reality. I've been achieving things naman so far, kulang lang sa appreciation paminsan. May I always remember that I have to act in order to achieve something. Alam mo 'yun, okay si positive thinking pero as okay sabayan ng positive action pa rin. Okay naman, kulang lang din ng inspiration paminsan. hehehe. Here's to greater things that we'll accomplish!!!!

In the future, if I encounter something similar to this, I would always ask myself what it is that I want and I would stop myself from looking at others (or what other people are doing) so I can remain calm and patient. MUST.NOT.LOSE.CALM I hope to always remember that if things get confusing then I should step back, assess the situation, and act the way I deem best. Wag na tayong lutang, self. :)))

I may always have a back-up plan... at mag relax. I went to Trinoma thinking, "kung wala akong abutan, edi wala." but when I found out that I had a chance, aba, addict mode ang ate mo girl. HAHAHAHA! Ewan ko ba. Di ko nga alam bakit kailangan ko pang isulat 'to kung gusto ko lang naman sabihin na makikita ko si Park Seo Joon sa 29 at wala akong magagawa kundi mainggit at tignan na lang sila ng mga babaeng makakalapit sa kanya sa FM.

That I may always look at my life in the present and be grateful for all the improvement and progress even if they don't seem much. Seven years have passed since the inception of this blog and a lot of things have happened since then and I'm happy I've written some of my thoughts here to remind me of my emotions that I've forgotten and wishes/hopes/dreams that eventually became reality. hehe.

Lastly, kung sakaling panic mode na naman ako someday... e wag na ko masyado mag-overthink paminsan kasi nga some opportunities knock only once. HAHAHA. So bawiin ko na lahat ng sinulat sa taas? Siguro at the end of all these, baka overthinking lang pala problema ko, noh? :)) Sabi nga ng author ng book na binabasa ko, there's no point in dwelling in the past. The concern now should be, "what should I do next?" Hindi ko na kailangan pag-isipan pero at least natuto na ko kahit papano.

Kaya ko 'to naisipan isulat kasi naalala ko nung nagu-usap kami ng isa kong friend regarding dito sa funmeet, naalala namin na dati e hirap kaming bumuo ng tig-500.00 para bumili ng merchandise sa bench para sa invite pero kita mo naman 'di ba....... ang dami ng nangyari mula noon. :))

Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different? – C.S. Lewis

Addtl: From Vertis North, we went back to Trinoma and it rained hard so the Bench paper bag got wet and look at what happened to it. Nabutas lang naman at nalaglag sa sahig lahat ng binili ko habang naglalakad. :))) Sobrang memorable ng araw na 'to, I SWEAR.

Alam ko na this is just the start of seeing Seo Joon in person. I will see him for a lot of times more in the future but still,

life,

matutupad na 'to,

sige na naman,

baka pwede na,

'yung isa kong wish...

좋은 사람 만나기

hahahahaha!

PS nahihiya lang ako i-English lalo i-Filipino kasi tunog desperada na HAHAHAHA pero hindi kailangan Koreano. Gusto ko lang mag-wish. :))))

Got my invite and Bench merchandise today.

The supposed-to-be-title of this blog post was, "No more lower box tickets available for Lee Min Ho's fanmeet. I cry. :(" But thankfully I was able to find one this afternoon. As in it's the last available invite in the bench store I went at.

Lee Min Ho as Global Benchsetter March 2014's Funmeet Mechanics link: here.

I was actually at SM North yesterday but when the cashier was done punching all my items, she told me that there's no more Lower Box invite left and she was recommending that I buy Patron (worth P 1,600.00) instead. It's not an option since I want to stay at somewhere close yet I'm seated so I asked her to just void everything. It's either Lower or Upper Box for me. Pero bet talaga ang lower box. Huhuhu.

I was so disappointed yesterday and then decided that I shall go to other Bench stores today to look for invites. Ganun ka-adik? I was at Herbench (lesson learned) and asked the cashier first if they had invites, they had none so I left. Incidentally, my friend texted me to ask where I was so I was able to ask her if there's another Bench branch in that mall (Ayoko kasi nagtatanong sa authorities. Hadn't she replied, hindi ko siguro mahahanap) and she told me that there is. I replied, "Pupuntahan na ba kita o puntahan ko muna 'yung sa Bench?" Half my mind wanted to go to her immediately but then the other half (that part which controls my feet) was already making my feet walk. Nagtanong pa 'ko kung hindi rin pala ko maghihintay ng reply. hahaha.

So there, long story short, I had to visit three stores just to get this invite. Aarte pa ba na hindi bra ang nabili ko? hahahahahahahahahhaha.

Summer na summer lang peg ko.

Flip-flops, neon pink na bag pack, and So Inlove na eau de toilette. :))

Cute din ng design ng paper bag nila, #LiveLifewithFlavor. Yes, Bench. Ang pangit naman ng life pag unflavored. Hindi masarap. Nye. -_-

The Global Benchsetter fanmeet on the 21st shall start at 7:00 PM!

Dear Blogosphere Fairygodmother, kahit isang picture lang kasama si Lee Min Ho please! Paki-push! :D :D :D

오빠, 나랑 사진 찍자. 응?

I brought my sister and my cousin once removed ('yun daw English translation ng anak ng pinsan eh.) to Megamall to try ice skating. When we all got hungry, we went out of the rink to find a restaurant and then we passed by KyoChon (Building B, Ground Floor of SM Megamall).

Well, actually a friend of mine already informed me that KyoChon has opened last April but I totally forgot about that until we passed by the resto.

Since other Korean Style fried chicken restaurants have been around for years now, I was having second thoughts because I just didn't feel that they had something new to offer and my two companions prefer the safe fastfood chains over trying out a new restaurant. But being the oldest (and the one who is to pay our meal), they had no choice but to follow. Thanks to the picture of Lee Min Ho Oppa for luring me in. Lee Min Ho was actually the deciding factor. He's my Korean crush (link: here) and since Kyochon is marketed as "Lee Min Ho's favorite chicken." - ALAMNADIZ. :))

Menu was handed to us as we reached our table. Yes, it is a sit-down restaurant unlike its competitors that usually have a fastfood set-up.

I was unsure what to order so I got the "basic".

I ordered Combo 1 + additional rice.

Combo 1 has 10 wings, salad, 2 rice and 2 drinks.

The waiter asked us if we wanted to make this a combination of the four available chicken variants but I told him that we'll stick with the original flavor - soy garlic.

After eating, I asked my companions if they enjoyed and they said yes. We all agreed that KyoChon's is the tastiest of all the Korean Style fried chicken we've had (Even superior to my own version. Imagine that! haha!) . The batter is more flavorful and the meat was tender. It was also not oily even if chicken cooked this way are all fried two times. My cousin once removed (ang awkward lang sabihin nito talaga) even told me that he wants to celebrate his birthday there. That coming from a boy who would pick his favorite KFC fried chicken over any food no matter how delicious looking it is; he must have really liked Kyochon's chicken.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying these because of Lee Min Ho ha. Although he was the reason why we entered, we stayed and enjoyed not because of him but because of our food. 미안해요, 민호 오빠. :))

When I asked for the bill, a Korean lady approached us and asked us if we enjoyed our meal and it was an obvious yes. She told us to come back and try the rest of the variants too which is also an obvious yes.

잘 먹었어. 다시 올게.

All these cost: P 620.00

P.S. I hope that they offer thigh parts as well. :)

My everything.

I watched my first English subtitled Korean drama in 2009. That was Boys Over Flowers and who's the main character? Gu Jun Pyo portrayed by Lee Min Ho. Since then, I became a fan and it is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Want to know why? A few years later after BOF, I've developed an in-depth desire to learn other things Korean (language, food, culture etc.) In short, I was introduced to an educational and fun hobby. And while doing this "hobby," I got acquainted with some people whom I now consider as some of my closest friends and I was able to do things I've never thought were possible. Now, the connection that Korea and I share is a lot more than having a Korean celebrity as my years long crush.

And I'm claming it, I shall go to South Korea someday. 진짜 갈거야.

Back to My Everything- the name of Lee Min Ho's Concert in MOA Arena.

While walking towards the MOA Arena, I pointed a double-decker bus to my friend while saying that I've been wanting to ride that the moment I first saw it several months ago.

And guess what? That night, they were offering free rides to Lee Min Ho's concert ticket holders.

Here's to a dream come true! Hahaha!

The concert was already starting when we arrived. We were in the General Admissions area; the farthest of the farthest seats. Surprisingly, there were way more General Admissions people than what we thought.

I won't deny that I was a bit disappointed because the concert didn't last long, the "big" screen wasn't big and bright enough to be seen by those in the Gen. Admissions area and that I couldn't even see his face from where we were seated and even my camera gave up.

When he sang what we thought was the last song, we went outside full of complaints because he didn't even sang SAY YES. And that's like the main reason why I wanted to watch him live.

So we went down a floor, right? And he started singing again...

and it's SAY YES!
대박!!!!

We were in a level lower when I recorded this video, we were then in the Upper Box area. How? Takas. HAHAHAHA!

The minute I watched him perform this song in a youtube video, I've been hoping that I'd see him live.
Yay for another dream come true.

I went home satisfied even after all the earlier complaints just because of this one song and his booty shake. Hahaha! Seeing another side of LMH was more than enough consolation for all our disappointments.
Dami naming hopes kase for Gen. Ad. area eh. ahaha!

And why did our ticket only cost a peso?
Because of a Globe Promo. #gladtobeglobe #uselesshashtag

There was a free Gen. Ad ticket for every purchase of P 500.00 worth of load and a Globe simcard. So far my most sulit one peso ever because it made two of my dreams come true.

Here's to more dreams that would come true in the futuuuuuuuuuuure!

1. 한국에 가기 Hahahahaha. I sound so desperate.

2. 좋은 사람 만나기 hahahahaha!

3.... 4.... 5....
