The official music video of song "Ice Cream" off of Hyuna's new solo mini-albul 'Melting'. The bubble bath part is yes!

Ice Cream Teaser

Even though I say no to Midnight Snacks, I crave for "Ice Cream!" Check out this MV Teaser off of Hyuna's new upcoming solo album:

Jdonu Pork & Beef Grill

On a night where my wife and I couldn't find a parking slot to feed our aching tummies, we thought of Jdonu. It's a 24-hour open Korean restaurant right in the heart of Makati. Nothing fancy, the place looks like a house converted to restaurant. I've been longing to try this particular noodle soup and now was my chance. I did not know what it was called, but I definitely knew what it looked like in the menu. Apparently it's called "Budaejjigae" made out of rice, ham, sausage and noodles.

It was very hot (soup temperature) more than it was spicy. I could only taste the hotness of the soup and the "liver like" aftertaste of the sausage:

Loudbasstard: Naturally Awesome!

I was thinking to myself what reaction I'd get once I get to dock my phone on the Loudbasstard. My Korean friend Porka told me she'd buy me one as a gift.  It just so happened that she was attending a friend's wedding in Cebu that weekend. She posted pictures of it on her Instagram acount. Green one for me...Great! like a true bamboo should be! I was coming home for a long road trip but nevertheless insisted on getting it from her place. And so it was given to me. I tried it right away and true enough the piece of wood did not disappoint. It gave the my iPhone a bigger and better voice. Though I felt the sound amplified was the too much on the treble side, and kinda lacked bass. But hey main sound comes from an iPhone speaker, which sucks to begin with. Nevertheless, I'm still happy with my new toy: doesn't require electricity, doesn't waste time, and doesn't give a s*%t who it bothers with the loud sound it creates. I want to try it as an alarm clock, but I'm afraid I might hate it and never use it again. Still, this item can be considered as a good piece of wood.

Porko Dragon Outfit of The Day

Sunday is the Day where we go my in-laws, eat good home cooked grub, and go to church. So, it's definitely one reason to dress up nicely and somehow feel good about myself. I'm still miles away from my ideal body type, like the Koreans actors in soap operas and movies, where skinny jeans colorful tight-fit tops are a rule of thumb. So I had my photo taken before lunch. I tucked out my shirt after eating lunch of course!

Outfit contents:
Top - Blue button down shirt from Cotton On
Pants - Grey slacks from Forever 21
Shoes - White Brogues from JKJY by Stella
Sunglasses - Persol 649 black
Arm Swag - Leather knot bracelets from Hongdae Streets of Korea

What makes Drama Five Fingers worth watching

The reason why I started watching this drama was not because of the storyline, but rather the controversy that took place even before shooting began. I'm a huge fan of the girl group T-ara, and one of their members, Ham Eun-Jung (beige dress) was casted as one of the leading ladies. But ever since the T-ara scandal (where members were accused of bullying their fellow member Hwayoung), the producers of the drama eventually decided to remove Eun Jung from the drama. It was such a sudden, rash decision, as you can see promotional materials were already out, which included Eun Jung. She was replaced by actress Jin Se-yeon. 

This drama is about a boy who suddenly was brought in to a new family by his biological Father, a rich owner of a piano manufacturing company, and set to live with his stepmother  and half brother. Father quickly shows favoritism to new son, stirring up jealousy from the half brother and stepmother. Stepmother murders Father, but Father leaves all his company shares to new found son. Step mother plots revenge and plans to ruin new found son's career as a genius pianist and owner of company, in order for half brother to succeed. To add to that, new found son's love interest turns out to be half brother's love interest as well. Sounds familiar doesn't it?? In other words, it's a show on how brilliantly scheming and evil the step mother half brother are, and how stupid new found son is. At many times during the drama, new found son shows sheer stupidity, not realizing that his family is obviously the ones behind all the bad things going on in his life. I'm halfway into the drama series, still hoping that new found son can come to his senses, and just beat the living shit out of his half family. But then that's not how dramas work right? So I guess I'm the dumber one for continuing to watch and hope new found son can turn things around.

Bubble Pop - Kpop's most flirtatous idol

Kim Hyuna is probably the next K-pop sexy queen. At the tender age of 20, she moves, acts, dances way more seductive than her age. She was a former member of the Wonder Girls, but her style probably did not fit the group's image. Currently, she's a member of the group 4minute. Since she stands out among the members, it's not surprising that she also has her solo gigs. I first saw her solo performance in KBS Music Bank with the song "Bubble Pop". The dance moves are unforgettable, as she could easily raise any testosterone level up. Her latest video is the female version of PSY's Gangnam Style (Oppa is Just My Style!). Boys, if you do not know Hyuna, you are missing out big time!
