LUNCH...3RD SINGAPOREAN MEAL
After getting our purpose in this 3 malls we decided to get ourselves full... After strolling and looking for something appetizing and affordable we ended up in a restaurant which serves well blended drinks...i guess we just saw something appetizing...
off we ordered some stuff,since we ate our breakfast i think we were not that hungry at around 1pm. So we ate fried rice with chili wings(i suppose) and singaporean noodles. We just asked for a glass of water which flor and me got excited coz the served ice water with straw and i think it was the first time for us to see that sight! When virgie asked why we asked her back "does singaporean restaurants serve ice water with straw?" she said no, she thinks the serving thing in that restaurant is different (yes coz we have to pay for the service water hehehe i think it was around 25 singaporean cents per person...now thats for the straw!hahahaa!)

shinhwa and more shinhwa
Walking and walking ok now i see ritz! Hmmm what can we do? Can i dance outside the hotel to catch attention nah! I decided to behave coz my new found friend might see me as a crazy gal and eventually might leave us hahaha! No "beauty" on sight so we decided to go to Raffle City Tower mall..were everything i see is expensive! Talking about BRANDS!
Since we dont have any plans of doing some shopping...we just stroll around the mall and 1 thing catched our attention! waaaah a music store! Ok we were checking out shinhwa stuffs and all there and there was something that was still not in our collection a SHinhwa 7th album diary in dvd format! Flor decided to buy it virgie my sister and i were asking for anothe copy but too bad they only have 1! So again stroll strolll....when i really cant help it i asked flor if she asked the girl from the store if there is a possibility that we can get 1 for ourselves. We hurridly went back and yes she called the other branches and tehre is still 1 in the 2 branches she called. We got the address and Virgie guided us to this malls....
2nd stop DIGILIFE MALL ....I was high seeing those kisds playing the computer in fact there was a competition my sister and i were joking...since hyesung (shinhwa member) is fond of playing games like this do you think he is there? Anyway i just got a picture of it! Next revelation...i saw something Jolli...Ohhh i thought it was a fastfood chain here in the Philippines which ended to be Jollibean(but the letters is almost the same as the local one in the Philippines).
Off to the branch to get our shinhwa diary copy! Virgie got so excited seeing Rain's Move on Japanese single and bought herself a copy! While inside the music store there was these Singaporean couple about to purchase an album which turned out to be Christian Bautista's album (he is a product of a talent search in the Phils that made big in Malaysia,Indonesia and now even Singapore) His album was the one playing in that music store. I was so proud of him and told the Singaporean couple that album was good! And they did purchased the said album! Ahhh so proud!
next stop... Bugis junction...off to a cab to this mall to find the lone copy of the said shinhwa diary for our hostess virgie! Too bad the staffs tehre were not as pleasant as the other two stores who were generous enough to give us shinhwa poster eventhough it's not intended for the product we bought. So since tehre is nothing more else to do we dropped by an electronic/appliance store to buy some paraphernalia for my sister's ipod.

Singapore Experience
I could always bear the sacrifices in going to a concert with the lining up and running around and who could say i can not be a star on my own? I got a few star attached in my skin hahaha!
Ok ____ Saranghae..._____Saranghae! How can i say those words without someone pulling my hair?\\Once in a lifetime experience and who knows...
RISE AND SHINE
I'ts the big day for me...yes eventhough we ended up sleeping late still we managed to be up by 8. We are waiting for Virgie who is gracious enough to spare us her time and see the concert with us.
I am still in oblivion...clueless on what will happen next...ok so we took turns in taking a bath...we decided to grab something for breakfast and since we are in a tight budget we need to be adventurous in looking for cheap and good food. Ok off we went and after visiting so many stalls which serves noodles we decided to look for another restaurant...after walking a fewblocks ....my sister was telling me she wants something light..whoalla we saw a bread store. After picking what we feel like eating...we sat down and waited for our orders...which turned out to be the same package meal! I think our taste buds are already the same.
It was i guess one of the best coffee i had. It was aromatic and really you can feel and taste the richness of it even with already some cream on. The eggs were so freah and we can taste that it is organic eggs in the Philippines we call it "natural eggs". Well most of us can not buy these in the supermarket so its a treat!
After breakfast we decided to drop by another 7-11 branch and yes this convenient store is really everywhere! Looked for something we can bring to the gals home like magazines and write ups of the shinhwa concert. Well to no avail we didnt had the chance to see one.
Walking and more walking...when we felt we had enough we decided to go back to our hotel and wait for our "host" to arrive. Though we all lack sleep we really still have the energy to make fun at the hotel lobby!
Eat and be merry
My first singaporean meal...
Actually it was more than a asian fusion kind of thing since i was really starving i asked my sister and flor to grab a bite before taking a rest. We were so lucky to be in an area were everthing is readily available. A 7-11 just across the hotel and a fastfood center(24 hours) so it would be easy for us to grab something.
I decided to get the meal with noodles and soup...yes i was really full! I cant even breath! When i was buying some refreshments the lady asked me if im Thai...said no ....im a filipina. "Oh Philippines! good country if not for the abu sayaf you really have a nice country." When i went back to our table i was asking my sister do i look thai to you she said no...i asked back how come she mistakes me as an Thai national!? PHAAABOOO! hahaha! I then realized i was wearing a BANGKOK shirt har har har! What a mess!
So excited and went back to the hotel and mind you we are law abiding citizens we know how strict Singapore is and i know its like having BIG BROTHER watching your every move thing there! Hehehe! We didnt care if we have to walk an extra mile just to be in the proper pedestrian lane. Gosh my legs are killing me! But its better that being brought to jail!
Singapore Adventure
September 10,2006
12:30am yes Singapore Im here! There has been a slight delay with our arrival....but it doesnt matter anymore! Im In singapore safe and sound.Yes its early morning and i still cant contain my excitement. Im here and im breathing the same air with SHINHWA! What will happen next? Nah dont care anymore i have my sole purpose...WATCH SHINHWA CONCERT! Which i may say maybe my once in a lifetime opportunity.
Hmmm ..next stop immigration...there was not much fuzz adnd i passed thru it in just a minute. I was ahead of my companions and decided to get our luggages. It took us time locating our bags so went out of the airport at around 1am. After changing our money to their local currency off we went to the taxi stand.
We were quite hesitant on going to lane 1 reason...its a BENZ taxi and gosh it might be more expensive than the other taxis. But we dont have any choice but to follow the procedure...the driver was accomodating and he really was so hospitable. After placing our bags at the trunk i decided to seat upfront!
BLOOPER NUMBER 1
I completely forgot that im in a right hand drive country! I didnt realized that the driver was telling me to go the other way till i opened the door and saw the wheel at the right side. I was laughing so hard and told the driver that i was planning to drive the cab myself. He then jokingly said..."as long as you wont get caught that wont be a problem"
Im like a child ..so amazed on how hi technology can affect even the cabs. The interior of the car was so cool compared to the other taxis this was really something! So cool and i felt i was a country girl who got into a public transportation. I am really so amazed!

My Singapore Adventure
September 9, 2006
Been super excited for a few weeks back because of this trip.Seeing the merlion? Nah! Ill be seeing shinhwa for the first time live in action and who knows what will happen next.
Packed my bag just a few hours before the trip.830pm flight so might as well check in 3 hours before the flight schedule.Packed my bags and prayed that I may not forget any essential material needed for the trip.
Ok got to do some errands first, last minute, to fix some committed matters like bringing back the materials i borrowed my food caterer. Ooops missed out storing my storage card files so it would be useful in my Singapore trip. Anyway I think I managed not to miss out things.
Off to the airport...pick up flor first so we can be at the airport on time. We went to SM MALL OF ASIA to activate her international roaming for her handyphone. Grabbed something to eat and off to PARK AND FLY so we can have a ride on the way to the airport since they will shuttle us. Ok arrived at the airport very early I guessed we over estimated the airport securities. We passed all the stages and checking in and the immigration will be the last few stages before boarding.
Still have a lot of time before checking in,don't have anything to do at the international airport. Good thing pau sent me something I can gladly cheer on! Waaah a picture of me and junjin side by side! Whoaaah!What a view to enjoy before reaching the place where I can see my sweety!
An hour passed and cebu pacific's flight to singapore is now open.After checking in our luggages we decided to grab a bite. I guess we have a few hours of waiting to do...8pm...ahh a relief we are now going to our gate...so excited to fly! Gosh...another 45 minutes of waiting! It was a delayed flight! we boarded at 830 and flew at around 9pm.
FLY CEBU PACIFIC WERE EVERYTHING IS NOT FREE!Ok I'm overreacting they gave us C2 ice tea(without the ice) for free. We were so surprised coz when we asked for coffee and choco drink we have to pay for it!wow this is what you call business. I guess I got used to flying with Philippine Airline and Cathay were you can get great food and drinks. A dollar for a 3 in 1 coffee drink?(well I think I just realized the reason behind it on the way home.).Ok lets just thank cebu pacific for a cheap airfare.
I couldn't sleep maybe of the excitement....a few hours to go and yes I can breath the same air with the guys I want to see....

the father in Junjin...
watching him in shoot doori is such a delight not because he was a good looking manger/coach to the shoot dori kids but he oftenly acts as their big brother sometimes a father.
Looking thru some old clips who could imagine junjin as a person so passionate and lovable to kids even in his early age. Just love seeing him cuddle little kids with love and compassion!

whats my song
Charity, YOUR song is Every Breath You Take
Romantic and soulful, it's no surprise your signature song is just as sweet as you are. When it comes to a night on the town, we'd guess you'd rather enjoy a candlelit dinner for two or a low-key night hanging out with friends than a wild party or chaotic club.And while your signature song may not bring the house down, it never fails to inspire that loving feelin' in everyone. That's why it's so perfect for you a big-hearted person like you who's always thinking of others. So, keep it up. It's nothing short of breathtaking
what kind of car i am
Charity, you're a Station Wagon!
You swore you'd never get one, but deep down you knew it was inevitable. Now it's finally happened. The car for you is a sensible, reliable, and oh-so-traditional Station Wagon. But don't panic: you haven't totally become your parents! We're not thinking a Chrysler Town & Country or even a Ford Taurus. The car for you is a hip, updated version of the classic. You've inherited everything that was cool about your folks, and taken it to the next level. Gone are the wood panels and cheesy colors, and way in are the leather interior, CD player, and gear racks for your weekend adventures. How about a Subaru Outback, Volvo V40, or a Saab Aero Wagon—in a classic navy or a firebrick red? You're so happening; no one would ever know that you've got those sensible airbags tucked away for a rainy day.
NEXT TEST:
what kind of comedy show am i
Charity, you're most like Seinfeld
"Yadda yadda yadda." From soup to smelly cars, this classic show turned everyday things into gut-splitting moments. Like Seinfeld, you see the world in your own unique and sometimes cynical way. For something to really strike your funny bone, it should have a slightly ironic flavor or at least be a bit offbeat.Perceptive and smart, you know real life truly is stranger than fiction. Friends love to hear your clever observations and appreciate your ability to turn even the dullest of moments into a laugh-track worthy experience. And that — like a Festivus for the rest of us — is certainly something to celebrate!
which hollywood blond am i
Charity, you're most like Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson lights up every movie she's in whether she's following the band or trying to lose a hot guy. She's just so likable! And guess what? You are too. Like Goldie's golden daughter, you've got that certain sweet, girl-next-door quality that shines through everything you do.Charming and caring, you're comfortable in your own skin — and your fans are likely to feel better just being near you. You're certainly no spotlight-stealing diva. In fact, we bet you're more often called upon to play the best supporting actress. Your friends know you'll always be there for them, which is why they've got your back too.
my true color
Charity, your true color is Yellow!
You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!
my celebrity look
Charity, your celeb look is inspired by Christie Brinkley
Even if your face hasn't graced the covers of magazines the world over just yet, you share this beauty icon's effortless sense of style. Like your gorgeous and radiant counterpart, you're probably known for having timeless look that never goes out of fashion.A natural beauty, you seem to understand that having a healthy body and bright smile is always in fashion. That's why you'd rather be well dressed in a way that isn't trendy or over the top. Leave the flashy glamour to other folks. You create a look that makes people focus on you and your natural assets. Keep it up!
my beauty look
Charity, you're a Natural Beauty
No fuss, no muss — you're a practical beauty who doesn't rely on frills and passing fads to show off your style. Down-to-earth and oh-so-cool, friends count on you for good advice and a strong shoulder to cry on.You know what you want out of life and don't worry about impressing others with over-the-top outfits and the newest crazy styles. You've got a healthy dose of self-confidence that simply radiates beauty and grace. And nothing's more natural than that.
