ONE OK ROCK Live in Manila [01.19.2016]

Last Tuesday, January 19, 2016, a magical night happened, well, at least for me and for ONE OK ROCK PH fans. Our dreams had finally come true. I'm relatively a new fan to the OOR fandom and I feel so lucky that I got to see them sooner than I expected. ONE OK ROCK "35xxxv" Asia Tour Live in Manila is one of the most memorable concerts I have ever been to. And it was a good thing that I didn't miss this chance... cause if I did, then I've missed half of my life.

It's been 5 days and yet I still have hangover. I just can't seem to move on. LOL. I can still remember everything that happened that day. From the queuing to the meet and greet event up to the show proper. If there was only a rewind button, I would have pushed the buttons over and over again to relive that moment. And If I could only turn back the time, I would have done better in meeting ONE OK ROCK at the meet and greet event. LOL. The guys look so unreal. I mean, I know they're handsome and all, but pictures did not give them enough justice. The boys are much, much good-looking in person especially the guitarist and leader Toru Yamashita. His good looks are out of this world! Oh my, God! I just cannot!! Tomoya Kanki, the drummer, has a smile that was oh-so-cute! His eyes were even smiling too. And Ryota Kohama (bassist), he is an absolute bae. I never thought he's that guwapo in person. He has a small face and a nice smile.

I wish I could have said something better than, "Welcome to Manila!" while shaking their hands. Especially to my dearest Takahiro Moriuchi (vocalist). All I can say that time is, "Oh, my God!" repeatedly while looking into his eyes and with a smile on my face. I definitely look like an idiot. I was stunned and starstrucked. Taka is too good to be true. Aside from being much good looking in person, he is nice as well. I couldn't form the right words to say, the words I have long wanted to tell him. Puwedeng take two?

Anyway, ONE OK ROCK is really good performing live. And I feel so happy that I got the chance to see them and this time, I’m not watching them on DVD or YOUTUBE but LIVE. Taka is the best vocalist I have ever seen. His voice is undeniably beautiful, it was amazing hearing him live. Even if he was moving around the stage, he can still hit the high notes and there was never a chance that he was out of tune. He sounds much alike in their records. And Toru, Tomoya and Ryota are also good musicians. They were all in sync. I wish I know how to describe how their performance went. But I can’t grasp the proper words into my head. Haha! All I can say is, they are GREAT! They totally rocked our world. Totally the best concert experience!

He just took my breath away. So unreal.

And oh yeah, I think they also love their Filipino fans and the Filipino crowd based on their Instagram posts. They said that the Philippines is the loudest, most energetic, number one crowd they have ever seen! Wow! We are very much overwhelmed! It’s good to know that they enjoyed being here as much as we enjoy their music and their concert. They said that they will come back again in Manila and we couldn’t wait for that! Next time, I promise to do better in the meet and greet if there ever has one again. And I will push the Pulp Royalty again, of course. That is hashtag goals. 

ONE OK ROCK- san!

I just hope to move on from this though, so I could get back to reality and with my life. Haay.

Hell-O 2016!

As usual, this is a late post again. What do you expect? I'm lazy asf. LOL. whatever. Anyway, since it has been a habit of mine to post a "Hello January" entry every new year, I feel obligated to make something for this year also. But I actually do not know what to say in here. I'm running out of topics or issues to discuss.

Okay, let me start with... what happened to me in 2015?

I can pretty much say that the good things that had happened to me the past year were:

1) I got two published books for 2015. My third novel in PHR was released January 14 last year and the fourth one was released in July. For me, that's really something. I only get a book release once in a year. So having two novels published in a year is an achievement for me. LOL!

2) Losing weight is one of the biggest struggles for me. And last year, I was able to enroll myself on the gym, particularly trying boxing and I can say that I did lose some weight. Not much though. But! If you see how I look years ago, then you would say that I indeed succeed in shedding some weight. That's another MILESTONE for me! The only problem now is I gained some KILOS (shucks!) when I took a break from the gym for two months! two-freaking-months! what the hell?! Anyway, yeah. So I have to be back to the gym NOW.

3) For someone who doesn't know me personally and I rarely discuss this topic with my friends, I actually love it when we have bible studies in our house. I crave for enlightenment. I crave for God's words and I hope to learn more about the bible, about Him, our Lord Jesus Christ. I wish to understand the bible more. I'm really happy when we have bible study in our house every week.

4) If you guys follow my blog, you probably read about my struggle with acne. That had been the worst moment of life. But last year, my cousin helped me in achieving an acne-free skin. Would love to share my secret if you also have acne problems like me in the past years. I now have clear skin and almost everyone is so envious of how smooth and clear my face is. And because I now have a clear skin, I get to wear makeup once again! YAY! I feel confidently beautiful with a heart! :)

5) Sometime in 2012, I found out that I have endometrioma and to cure the cyst in both my ovaries, my menstruation would have to stop so I was advised to take DMPA shots. But since the cyst in my right ovary was not responding to the DMPA, my OB decided that she have to remove the cyst so we can save my ovaries and so I could have the chance to bear a child when I decided in having one. In 2013, I had partial oophorectomy , a surgery in which my doctor and her team removed a cyst in my right ovary. Thank god, I still have a part of my right ovary! The left ovary is still intact. Though, the cysts were removed, I still have to go with the DMPA shots which would stop my menstruation cycle. For three years, I haven't been having my period. I think that is one of the reasons why I have bad acne problems for years. LOL. Anyway, last year, my OB advised me to shift from DMPA shots to taking birth control pills. She said I have to strive in finding a boyfriend with whom I can make a baby with. knowing that I am already in my late twenties, my doctor wants me to get pregnant as soon as possible. She tells me that every time we meet. As if that's easy. :/ I don't know. So after taking the pills, I finally have periods again. And I believe that also helps in clearing up my skin. After taking the pills for months, the acne breakouts were gone. I just hope my boobs will get bigger. They say birth control pills make your boobs bigger.

6) I became obsessed with ONE OK ROCK. I never thought I could fangirl another group aside from Arashi and TVXQ. Having two fandoms is a hard task, much more when you have another group to fangirl over. But no regrets. I love OOR and I'm crazy over Takahiro Moriuchi so that's fine. And I'm going to see them perform live next week! YASSS!

7) I haven't finished any novel last year. I lost my drive and I have not gained it back yet. Hopefully, this month I will be able to start a new novel. Wish me luck!

RESOLUTIONS & PLANS FOR 2016...?

Nothing much really. I'm not the type who do this kind of things because I believe I can never fulfill it. LOL whatever. I just hope that I can finish a novel this year. One novel for this year is enough. And I really have to be back to the gym because I want to be as hot as fuck as Candice Swanepoel! I WISH!

This entry is getting long~oops sorry! till next time! :D

Happy New Year!

Miss Universe 2015 is Philippines' Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach!!!

OMG OMG OMG! I've wanted to post this already since it has become my blog's tradition to have an entry about the winners of the annual Miss Universe pageant. But since I've become too lazy to put up anything here on my blog, I only found the time to write something about Miss Universe today.

I have finally seen a Filipina being crowned as Miss Universe in my lifetime. Thought I would never get to see that day.

Isn't she lovely? the royal blue gown is perfect with the Miss Universe crown.

I guess the world already know how much the Philippines is obsessed about beauty pageants, especially about the Miss Universe pageant. We are so passionate about it. And that remarkable day of December 21, 2015 (December 20 in Las Vegas), the 42 year drought of the Philippines from the Miss Universe crown has finally come to an end. Thanks so much to our beautiful, elegant, amazing Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach~ the Miss Universe crown is finally ours once again. I was very elated and overwhelmed when Philippines was announced as the real Miss Universe 2015.  It actually made me cry. For years, I've been wanting to see a Filipina be crowned as Miss Universe in my lifetime. It finally came true! Oh my, god!

The announcement of the winner had a confusion at first, I'm sure the people around the world knew what happened that night of the coronation. But I'm so glad that real winner of the 64th edition of Miss Universe is the Philippines. And I hope everyone, especially the fans and supporters of Miss Colombia should accept that fact. Though I still think that Ariadna Gutierrez did not deserve that kind of humiliation and embarrassment, please know and accept that it's not Pia's fault. Pia did not take the crown away from Ariadna. It's the host's fault and mistake. And Steve Harvey had apologized for it already. I just hope and wish that both the fans of the girls should stop all this fighting and move on from this. After all, it's been a week already since the Miss Universe pageant.

I want to take this opportunity to say how grateful I am to Miss Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach for bringing pride in our country! You truly are the perfect Miss Universe! I still get teary-eyed whenever I see your pictures or videos of your interviews on TV or Youtube. You made me so happy---not only me, but all the Philippine nation. I believe you will be the best Miss Universe ever! We love you so much! :)

Miss Philippines crowned as Miss Universe 2015

This is our 3rd Miss Universe from the Philippines ~ Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

Film: Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)

Directed by : Leigh Whannell
Produced by : Jason Blum, Oren Peli, James Wan
Written by: Leigh Whannell
Starring : 

Dermot Mulroney as Sean Brenner
Stefanie Scott as Quinn Brenner
Angus Sampson as Tucker
Leigh Whannell as Specs
Lin Shaye as Elise Rainier

I’m not a fan of horror movies, but the three installments of the Insidious movies are definitely my favorite especially the very first film. I’m not also the type who can easily get scared by horror films, but this one has that scary factor, enough to make me scream. I cannot count in my fingers on how many times I screamed in the whole duration of the movie. Haha! I’m not scared like you know, scared. But it has, uhmm... what do you call it? I cannot even find the perfect words to describe the movie. LOL. When I watch a horror film, I can easily move on and forget all about it after watching it. Because the more you think about it, the more you get scared. Do you get what I mean? LOL. I’m practically saying the word “scared” over and over again.

Anyway, let’s go back to Insidious: Chapter 3, the movie is actually a prequel of the first two installments of Insidious movies. It's about the story of the teenager Quinn Brenner, who wanted to contact the spirit of her mother, who died a year ago, through the retired parapsychologist Elise Rainier. Elise doesn't want to use her psychic ability anymore because of some “reason” which I don’t want to tell here, you have to find it yourself. LOL! So after Quinn's visit to Elise, she started seeing a mysterious man which led her to an accident. And that basically started her journey with the demon. Journey with the demon talaga?! wtf!

The story's okay and I kinda like it. Like I said, the terror factor was enough to entertain me and enough to make me scream. The demon was very scary and ugly. And oh, I have to say, good job to the one who did the sound effects! LOL. That was pretty scary and I get surprised every time the sound turns to something like when the demon has to show up. I hope you get what I mean. And about the acting, the characters are pretty good in acting their roles I have no complaints about it.

Oh, before I end this “movie review”, I have to say that the lead actress, Stefanie Scott is so pretty she resembles Selena Gomez and Miranda Kerr and also the Filipina actress Coleen Garcia.

3 out of 5 stars!

"Aka-chan" ♥

Hey, guys!! As usual, nawala na naman ako sa blogsphere. Lels. It's November already!!!

Anyway, there's nothing much to say naman. Aside from I got myself a new laptop! Yay for me! And huhu for my savings. Actually, there was not in my plan to purchase a laptop last Friday. Biglaang shopping lang `yun. I was just going to canvass a laptop since humingi ako ng opinion sa dalawang kaibigan ko. Yes, I really wanted to have a laptop of my own. The one I was using was my sister's at medyo nakakaasar na kasing gamitin `yun. Not sure if I've talked about it here before, pero isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit ako tinatamad magsulat, eh, dahil sa laptop ng ate ko. Nakakainis kasing gamitin. So going back to the laptop I bought last Friday, nagtitingin-tingin lang ako sa SM Cyberzone sa Cubao ng laptop no'n hanggang sa ma-entice ako sa Acer laptop na sinasabi ni ateng sales lady don sa Asianic. Sale sila nung araw na `yun. And I had my credit card with me that day. Before ako, mag-purchase,  I texted my mudra and ate to get their opinion. Sabi ni ate, kung kaya ko raw bayaran, edi go ako. Sabi naman ni mudra, para daw sipagin ako magsulat, I should go for it. So `ayun nga, hindi na ako masyadong nag-dalawang-isip. Affordable naman `yung lappy. I just have to sacrifice my budget for gym-ing. LOL! `Wag naman. Magagawa ko `yan ng paraan. Hehe.

So since I already got a new laptop, I wish and hope na mas ganahan na ako ngayong magsulat ng nobela. Imagine na kahit isang manuscript ay wala akong natapos ngayong taon na 'to? At matatapos na ang 2015! tsk tsk! I really need to write more novels and have more approved novels for next year! Hashtag ambisyosa. Oo. Kelangan talaga `yan. I have to earn and save money so I could go to Japan and to finally realize my dream of watching Arashi's concert. I'm not sure when that's going to happen, though. For now, all I have to do is work hard and save up! Ganbarre!

Anyway, here's my new laptop, which I would fondly be calling, "Aka-chan". Aka is a Japanese word for the color "Red". And it's obvious why I named my Acer Aspire ES14, "Aka-chan". LOL. So yeah, dear Aka-chan, let's make more novels and more money! I'm counting on you! Btw, I really had a hard time looking for a Purple laptop~ I've always wanted to have one since it's my favorite color in the world! But I guess for now, we are not meant to be. I just have to settle myself with a red one. Not bad naman, right? More than the black laptop with the same model, I like this one better.

Was testing this baby out that night, I was watching One Ok Rock's 'Living Dolls" live performance on Youtube.

It's cute isn't it? *smiles*

PS : Hindi pa rin ako binabayaran nung may utang sa akin. Sabi niya bago siya manganak. Eh ang lapit na niya manganak, nganga pa rin! Jusmio! Anyway, sana bayaran na ako `no! Pang ipon din sa Japan dreams ko `yun!

That's all!

PSS Sabi ko wala akong masyadong sasabihin pero ang haba na ng entry na `to! LOL!
