![[Japinoy.com] Most favourite Jdoramas on the Monday 9pm timeslot](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/lahijadelsol/getsuku.jpg)
Historically, Jdoramas on the Monday 9pm time slot (aka Getsu-Ku) are always the most anticipated in any season — and the most highly rated. They are even popular outside Japan. The series 101th Proposal, for example, will reportedly be turned into a movie in China. There are so many Jdoramas that have been aired...
Today, I received an email from Betty Mojica-sensei, my mentor and principal of the Nihongo Center Foundation. She told me that the NCF has partnered with Ensogo (be still my heart, haha) on a groupon deal for Elementary 1 Japanese lessons. What does an...
Whoever thought of instant elimination must have had too much to drink. After the artists’ quarterfinal performances, the coaches have to let go of one. It was a little harsh to make the coaches go through such a tough decision at this point in...
I love the sun and my blog URL is a testament to that (La hija del sol means child of the sun in Spanish). I don’t think I can live in a place where the sun doesn’t shine and smile on me at least...
Maybe I should stop listing down who my favorites are. I noticed that the harder I root for someone, the earlier they leave the show. Pfft. The artists advancing to the semifinals for Team Adam and Team Ceelo were announced and here are the...
Boracay is THE place to be when temperatures rise in the Philippines. The quintessential beach getaway has it all: clear blue waters, powdery white sand, great sun, fun water sports, hot nights and so much more. There is something for everybody in Boracay. If...
The Patapat Viaduct is a 1.3 km concrete winding bridge at the foot of the North Cordillera Mountain range and it connects the Ilocos Region to Cagayan Valley. Standing 31 meters above sea level, it affords a breathtaking view of Pasaleng Bay. It is...
Horror of all horrors! My favourites Naia Kete and Charlotte Sometimes got eliminated from The Voice! >_< But that’s getting ahead of myself. OK, so the much anticipated Live Shows finally started with artists from Team Blake and Team Xtina singing for survival and...
![[Japinoy.com] Most favourite male detectives in Jdorama](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/lahijadelsol/favouritedetectives.jpg)
In the world of Japanese TV doramas, there is one genre that has stood the test of time and that is the detective series. There have been all kinds of stories on TV, from the comical to the serious, and from these stories emerge...
Our Pagudpud Northbound Tour begins with a visit to Kabigan Waterfalls, located in Barangay Balaoi. Now, the very last waterfall I visited was way back in 2005 in Sagada, Mountain Province. I remembered I had to trek for a good 30 minutes under the...
Situated on the top of Vigia de Nagparitan Hill, the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse was designed by Engineer Magin Pers and Pers in 1887 and was completed in 1890. The octagonal tower stands 20 meters high (65 feet) and for over a hundred years, it...
From Burgos, we headed north to Bangui, home of the famous windmills. These giant “electric fans” can actually be seen from Saud Beach, and I was really excited to get up close and personal to them. The moment I stepped out of the tricycle,...
Some 30 kilometers from Bangui, the town of Burgos cradles the majestic rock formations of Kapurpurawan. If you usually equate Philippine tourism with white sand beaches and swaying palm trees, think again. This is a different kind of white. And a different kind of...
I am lucky enough to find myself on the road a lot lately. After a quick trip to Baguio (which I haven’t blogged about yet), I was heading up north again to Pagudpud (this time with my one of my BFFs, Rein). In fact,...
Finally, the last of the Battle Rounds! 1. Wade vs James Massone (True Colors) – Wade was an instant fave after that performance of “Rehab” during the Blind Auditions; I thought he would just kill this song since his voice fits the sound. He...
We’re halfway through the Battle Rounds. Whew, that was fast! Before we know it, it’s the Live Shows and we have ourselves a new Voice winner! 1. Pip vs Nathan Parrett (You Know I’m No Good) – Nathan’s blind audition wasn’t aired on AXN...
I expected the 2nd night of the Battle Rounds to be much better than the first, but I was a little disappointed at how “mellow” the show was, compared to night 1. Maybe I was still reeling from the Anthony Evans-Jesse Campbell battle?? Haha....
On the first telecast day of the Battle Rounds on AXN Asia, I made sure I got home way before 7:15pm. Like everyone else, I’m excited to see how the Voice hopefuls will be paired up. Here are the interesting match ups for night...
I first heard of Magnum Ice Cream when my friend Arol asked me if I already had one. And I was like, what Magnum ice cream? Apparently, a lot of people have been posting on FB and tweeting about it so I had to...
Clearly, diversity is the name of the game for Christina Aguilera in the 2nd season of The Voice. This year, she didn’t turn around for ALL of the powerhouse singers. It couldn’t go any more diverse than this. She’s got gospel, opera, R&B, country,...
The thing that I loved most about The Voice season 2 is that even country superstar Blake Shelton has veered away from his own genre. Unlike the previous season, Blake only has 3 country artists in his lineup this year. Three is still a...
Blake Shelton’s observation that everyone loves Cee Lo Green is valid. Indeed, a number of The Voice hopefuls wanted Cee Lo to choose them. Take, for example, Jamar Rogers and Cheesa. They specifically said they wanted Cee Lo to pick them for his team....
Last season’s big winner Adam Levine became the first coach to complete his team of 12 artists in the sophomore season of The Voice. It doesn’t look like Adam stuck to his season 1 formula, going for artists that might have been Xtina’s or...
Things at work are now looking better and I was finally able to leave the office while the sun is still up. Haha. Still, I am a little tired from too much overtime work. So I really looked forward to this weekend as I...
For a nice dinner to jump start the week, my little brother from another mother invited me to Kenji Tei in Greenbelt 5. It wasn’t full when we got there, it was a Monday, after all. We got a nice spot near the kitchen, and we...

When I am stressed, I spend. When I am depressed, I spend. When I am stressed AND depressed, my wallet dies and the cash register rejoices. Last week, Jin and I were at Shangri-la Mall — he was nice enough to join me while...
La Union, how do I love thee? Let me count the waves… The moment we stepped foot in La Union, I instantly fell it love with it. And what’s not to love? The endless expanse of beach. The feel of the warm sand between...
Reposting something I did a couple of years ago. You know, just for the heck of it, since V-day is around the corner and all. It’s interesting how Japan has a different way of celebrating the day of hearts. Not all countries have something...
And it’s finally baaaack! Like many people, I thought The Voice was just another American Idol dupe. And like many people, I ended up eating my words, because The Voice totally rocked. The Voice Format I liked the concept of the “blind audition” —...
Christopher Nolan, you’re the best! This movie is going to be frickin’ amazing, and I cannot wait. =================== Repost from: http://thefirerises2012.tumblr.com/post/17251545231/the-dark-knight-rises-cast-appreciation-major The Dark Knight Rises Cast Appreciation. Major props to Chris Nolan for assembling such a stellar ensemble. Its full of seasoned vets and talented...
Life is a choice: if you can’t have all, have some at least.
If you can’t be good, don’t be bad. If you can’t be totally happy, don’t be completely sad. ENJOY LIFE!
