"Jesus should be the reason for this season"

The title that I used above is taken from one of the statements that our parish priest have said during his homily on the 9th day of Simbang Gabi. True enough, this season was given in order to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Earlier this day I watched Kris TV and on the last part of the show, Kris reminded everyone the true essence of this yuletide season and the fact that we should greet Jesus a happy birthday, because indeed this is a celebration of his birth.

Some people have forgotten what should be the essence of this season; some of them think that this is just a break from a long tiring year of work, a season of exchanging gifts and vacations. What I am trying to say is that, there are lot people who thinks of Christmas in material terms. Say for example, my cousin, we gave her a gift but it's as if she did not appreciate it all because she wanted a different toy. In my time, a small gift or gifts like towels and other non-toys or non material are enough for me. Tsk2x. This is indeed bothersome. Anyhow, gifts should be appreciated no matter how small or how expensive or inexpensive they are, this is the thought that my grandma instilled to me when we gave her the gift. The mere fact that we have remembered the people that we love during this season gives us more value. Now, why am I saying these? Well, since Jesus is the reason for this season, then, why won't we reunite with our family and bond with them? The birth of Jesus made the whole holy family this day isn't it? Oh well, I'm running out of words but remember to shout and say:

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS CHRIST"

Certified YongSeo Addict

 [If you don't like Seohyuun and Yonghwa being paired, it's none of my business, but please do not bash this post. I'll respect your perspective so please respect mine also... okay? lovelots] It just came to my mind to share to you one of the things that I love in the whole wide world, and that is my addiction for the YongSeo couple. Never heard of them? C'mon! They are one of the virtual couples of We Got Married Season 2; it is a korean reality show wherein idols, actors and actresses are being paired up to become a married couple for some time (variety show purposes of course). Some are being paired according to the preferences given by the people who wants to be in the show and they would just mix and match (clothes???? nahhh). But the Yongseo couple is unique, they did not give their preferences as to whom they would want to be paired with, perhaps that is why they were paired up [a match made in heaven!!!<3]. The airdate of their episode was February 2...

My Korean Icon Contest

 cr: http://swisshansik.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/samgyupsal-pork-belly/  What would be the first thing that will come into my mind when I hear the word "Korea"? That's simple! Its SAM-GYEOP-SAL !!! For me, this dish is just truly daebak (amazing)! This amazing dish also enticed some of my friends, some of them shared a piece of their thoughts in this blog of mine. I always have the craving to taste this dish every time I watch a Korean drama, why? It's because every time they eat this dish, it seemed that they are enjoying the food very much. But as far as I can remember it was when I watched We Got Married Yongseo Couple Episode 45 , that I hungered more after their famous Samgyeopsal . In this episode, YongHwa fried the pork belly and seasoned it with pepper. They used sesame leaves, red lettuce leaves, pepper, onion, garlic, onion and mixed rice. The virtual couple made a lettuce wrap for each other following their heart's desire on what t...

KTO Miss Flower Spring Review

Image
Writing another blog and this is again Korean-related, it has been a while since I wrote my last blog so here I go... I am new at giving out reviews so pardon me if ever you see flaws in my reviews, but basically these are my opinions for the video made entitled Miss Flower Spring. And I would actually like to dissect this review into three parts: the music used, cinematography and story-line. REVIEW: Music The music is very relaxing and it is really giving that feel of warm passion of two young people. It makes a person's heart beat. Even though this is a mute skit, both the actions and the music coincided together which pretty much helps the viewer understand the concept of the story itself. The music also give the viewers a youthful feeling and the taste of nature's music. Cinematography I am not an expert but the transition was bugging; what I meant with this was the transition of one frame to the other was just so bugging(redundantly), but aside ...
