Block B Showcase in Miami Experience

Block B Concert
I purchased the Block B concert ticket the day it came out and I have been dying for Friday, June 27, 2014 to arrive. When it finally did....


I was so nervous and excited that I made sure I looked good ;) I left work at 10AM and went home to do my hair, make up, pick out my outfit and of course have some lunch. Then I left early because it looked like it was going to pour. After picking up my boyfriend, we headed to Block B! We arrived there at 1:00PM. 

(later we realized there was no point in being early because people skipped to the front -_- and I could have gone to eat something) They didn't open the doors till 6:30pm :( 

As the time neared I was having a mental breakdown! 


I spotted Mr. Popo and JREKML and decided to take a picture with them which was awesome ^^ But I was so tired and hungry, so while everyone was pumped yelling and being video taped by them... I was like "LET ME IN SO I CAN EAT... I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH IT COSTS!" When we entered, I went straight to the food. We were the first costumers lol I spent $38 -_- on food but then headed to my VIP section M seat 2 (seat 4 and 6 also) The mood was great! We were all getting seated and some of the fans were singing along to the songs they played. I was really starting to die with all my emotions but once Block B began.... I lost it. 



I couldn't believe how close they were, how flawless and magical they looked... BEAUTIFUL...

I video taped their performance with my phone but with my jumping and horrible quality... It wasn't that great. JRE has some footage and it is SJSFDJLSBDFABJ >.<

Also my bias is P.O., Zico and Taeil~~ But let me tell you freaking Kyung and B-Bomb were freaking ruining my heart. Especially Kyung!! They were all so cute and funny. It was an incredible experience. `~ 


I felt like it was really short and I really did not want them to leave but I guess it was because I love them so much~~ As I waited with my friend to get the HITOUCH, I was not only nervous because I was gonna TOUCH THEM!! but also because I was going to hand them the poster I made for them. 



When it was my turn, I remember seeing freaking HOT GORGEOUS ZICO and he smiled at me and I was like askskflslvdfo.... I was so shy and said "Can I give this to you?" (Looking down at the poster than back at his beautiful eyes) He then said "Yes yes" (while nodding then turning to B-Bomb telling him in Korean to get it) So I handed it to B-Bomb and after that its all a blur... ZICO KILLED ME WITH HIS EYES I SWEAR.... I HAD A TRUE MENTAL BREAKDOWN... I THINK I WAS A WALKING ZOMBIE AFTER THAT. I remember giving B-bomb a high five after handing it but I was so nervous and happy that I just looked at their hands and I also recall looking up for a bit, seeing P.O. cute face and quickly looking back down. I then remember stopping because Kyung didn't have his hand up because he was saying something to Taeil and I just stood there. Smiling and looking at the side of KYUNG'S FACE~~ He then turned around looked into my eyes, smiled and hi fives me. Then I looked at Taeil and I felt like we held hands a bit. 

(Since I was a bit slow, my friend behind me got to hold onto ZICO a bit more <3 ) LOL

After walking out the doors, and realizing I wanted more... I started to regret not saying something in Korean and wished I could have said something while I touched them :(  Since, we had parked behind the building we were walking to the parking lot and realized they will be leaving from there since they arrived there in the bus.~~ We quickly stood by the gate (now regretting I should have really stood right by the gate instead of a few spaces back) Then a few more fans appeared and realized what we were doing and copied us. When I noticed they were right next to the gate, we moved closer just in case more fans appeared. We waited and waited... But finally they appeared and waved at us. ^^ Then out of nowhere Kyung comes RUNNING TO US AND A BUNCH OF GIRS ARE YELLING AND PUSHING AGAINST THE GATE AND I AM FREAKING SHORT so imagine... I was squished and I reached out my hand so Kyung can grab it like he did the other girls.. but he passed my hand... damn it... short people problems... (regret not saying "chakanmanyo! chaelbayo") <-- (wait, please!.. don't know if I wrote it correctly) 

And the FREAKING GIRLS WERE GOING CRAZY.... THEY KEPT PUSHING AGAINST THE GATE AND I NOTICED THAT IT WAS LEANING TOWARD KYUNG SO I QUICKLY GOT A HOLD OF IT..... I FREAKING SAVED HIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE... Then the girls who kept blocking me moved out of the way.. thank god because they stank! and I was finally in the front but... sadly Kyung was gone. I then proceeded to yell "KAJIMA" and was about to cry because I couldn't hold his hand. 

We then waved goodbye as the bus drove away~~ I then arrived home at 12:00AM went straight to sleep and dreamt of Block B <3 

Here are some Pics of that amazing night~




UPDATE: I had to delete the images due to them being unviewable. I also don't have these pictures anymore but it was a wonderful night!

Kamisama Hajimemashita (kamisama kiss)

These past two weeks have been like my anime phase. I haven't been like this since 8th grade! It feels nice~~ so I watched like 4 series in 4 days but in total these two weeks I have seen about 8 anime series.(since I have written this, I have watched currently 14 anime series lol )
One that I watched is called kamisama Hajimemashita which was so funny and sweet! The animation was beautiful. Usually, when I watch an anime it was because 1) the animation looked really pretty or 2) someone recommended it to me or 3) I look for similar ones to the ones I have seen. 

This one was one I found because of youtube and thank god!! This anime consists of 13 episodes and once you start you wish for it to not end. I wished it had more episodes >.< Noooo! I do not accept this to be over >.<

Well, this is about a girl who is just a normal high school girl (they always are :P) who ends up being the Earth deity with a demon fox as her familiar (assistant?) and they have to do their jobs and complete tasks. Other gods and demons don't accept her because she is human but with her sweet and beautiful personality she wins people over (duh <3) Anyways, I don't want to say much and spoil it but I promise you if you liked Fruits basket, Gakuen Alice, ouran high school host club and similar anime to this then you would love this one. ~ 

Tomoe is the Fox demon and he is so freaking sexy~~~~
Highly recommend it ~^^


This is currently my Desk top background <3 I love it~~~~



Ddeokbokki [떡볶이] Recipe

So, one of my all time favorite dishes from Korea is Ddeokbokki (떡볶이). This is a must dish to order when I go to the Korean restaurant! Well, at least to me it is~ This being my favorite dish and since I have made many types of Asian dishes, I could just not have this on my list of foods that I have made.

I have made Kimchi before from scratch! Meaning I purchased every single ingredient I needed. For this recipe, you could do the same and you use some ingredients similar to making Kimchi but I didn't have the time nor the money to spend. So instead I just purchased the packet of sauce already made. This made it so much easier and faster to make.

The rice cakes were so soft and yummy! The sauce wasn't too spicy either. It was just a pure delicacy~~ For those who may not know what Ddeokbokki is then let me tell you~~ (hehehe~^^) Ddeokbokki is a very popular street food in South Korea and it consists of rice cakes, fish cakes, onions, green onions and some times cabbage. You can also add boiled eggs!!

This ddeokbokki I made consist of onions, cabbage, rice cakes and boiled eggs. I am not a big fan of the fish cakes so I did not include it but you may :)

Here are some pictures of the items I used and the final look ~~ ^^ You may also eat this with a bowl of white rice :) Hope you enjoyed it~ Can't wait to make this again. My mouth is just watering thinking about it.

update: for some reason the images didn't appear anymore so I deleted them and unfortunately,  I no longer have the images.

Workouts, Diets, Yoga and Pilates + My grocery list ~ January through February

Now, I know I haven't updated on my workouts and eats for the past Month or two but it does not mean I stopped completely. I didn't have time to post but I continued my days with working out, eating healthier and staying fit the best I could and when I could.

I actually stopped Insanity completely and maybe I will continue again but for now my main focus has been on Blogilates videos and yoga. Of course, I still dance :) I also started this diet called the Military diet. It was tough but I actually saw some results. I lost 6 pounds however I stopped doing that diet because it was too intense for me. Instead I just did some workouts and ate less fattening foods. Or so I tried. *If you are interested in checking out the Military diet then go ahead and type it on google. Its a three day diet with your three meals per day planned.. Good thing is you get to eat vanilla ice-cream with this diet.*

Recently, I started getting into eating Vegetarian food, tofu and more fruits and yogurts. My liquid intake has strictly been only water, detox water, and green tea. I feel healthier and seeing some change. The thing is I have such a slow metabolism so its a bit hard for me.

I will try my best to post regularly about my progress and let you know what I do.

Here are some picture of my meals from the past month. 


My grocery list: 
- Spinach
- Veggie meat (Burgers, chicken, hotdogs etc)
- Mint leaves
-Fruits (Strawberries, blueberries, watermelon etc)
- Plain yogurt
- no salt sunflower seeds
- Almonds
- Granola
- Naan Bread
- Tomatos
- Broccoli
- Lemons
- Tofu
- Salad 
- Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing
- Seaweed
- Cabbage 
- Tea (green tea, chai tea, etc)



UPDATE: once again images for some reason could not be seen and I don't have these images anymore. 

Winx Club Season 3 (4kids) & Winx Club Season 4 (nick version)

Alright, if you read my previous post, I stated I was re-watching an old fave show of mine while growing up. A lot has been going on in my life and I have been very busy but that did not stop me from watching tv shows and working out ;) (I will post workout posts later) 

So like I said in the the other post, while growing up, I watched Winx Club 4kids version and was so used to their voices. Unfortunately, 4kids ended the show with season 3 and did not continue :( After I finished season 3 I was devastated and not sure if I should continue by watching the Rai version or Nick version. I started a few episodes with Rai but it was just terrible. Their voices were ugly and they all sounded the same! So I went to the nick version. At  first I was a little unsure about it. But after a couple episodes I got used to their voices and I liked how it still looked like the art from the previous versions but just a little more touched up. The songs were catchy too~~

Don't get me wrong! 4kids will always be my favorite but I love the nick version too <3 

I also have to say in Season 4 their is more romance in the tv show. <3 I love romance!! I will get into the couples later in the post but first lets talk about forms!

In season 1, the fairies transform into their first fairy form like anyone else. As the show develops some more you see how they slowly upgrade and gain new skills. 
First, they received Charmax. Which to me wasn't that amazing >.< They basically still look the same but with a purse lol ~ Here is their Charmax form: 
Bloom Charmix 



Then in Season 3, they received Enchantix. Their Enchantix form is pretty <3 
My favorite Enchantix forms were from Stella, Flora and Musa. The other girls were very pretty too but 
I just enjoyed the other girls transformation the most. Flora is my fave <3 She is so pretty! 





Their next form in Season 4 was Believix and that was when the girls have to go to Earth to find the last fairy on Earth before the new villains get her. To achieve this form they have to get people to believe in magic and in them.  My favorite was Floras <3 






So those are the formations from Season 3 and 4 ^^ I am currently on Season 5 where they achieved both Harmonix and Sirenx 

What I liked a lot about Season 4 was more interactions between the couples. <3 This post is already really long so I think I will have separate posts for the villains and pets/sidekicks for each season later. I will also dedicate a post to the couples <3 But I have to say my fave couple will always be Helia and Flora. I also really like Riven and Musa.

Sleepy Hollow

I started watching this show with my boyfriend because he wanted to see it and it looked very interesting when he sent me the trailer. I am absolutely in love with it! It has such a great plot, actors, twist... Everything!
I can't wait for it to come back~~

Here is a description:

In this modern-day twist on Washington Irving's classic, ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison, “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen”) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Revived alongside Ichabod is the infamous Headless Horseman who is on a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod quickly realizes that stopping Headless is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider is but the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and only one of the many formidable foes that Ichabod must face to protect not only Sleepy Hollow, but the world.

As Ichabod finds himself in 2013's Sleepy Hollow, he discovers a town he no longer recognizes and
grapples to understand. Teaming up with Lt. ABBIE MILLS (Nicole Beharie, “42,” “The Good Wife,” “Shame”), a young cop who has her own supernatural experiences, the two embark on a mission to stop the evil that has awoken along with Ichabod and that now is seeping into this once-sleepy town.

Clues from the past enlighten mysteries in the present, as each episode features a flashback to Ichabod's life in 1776. Ripe with untold stories from American history and cloaked in mythology, the divide between present and past becomes dangerously blurred. Lives are in the balance, including that of Ichabod's late wife, KATRINA (Katia Winter, “Dexter”), who is trapped in a mysterious netherworld. In his pursuit to save her, Ichabod uncovers secrets about her, leaving him with countless questions. 

Not everyone believes Ichabod's tales of 1776 and supernatural evils, especially the new head of Abbie's police precinct, Captain FRANK IRVING (Orlando Jones, “The Chicago 8,” “Drumline”). When faced with bizarre events he can't explain, Capt. Irving reluctantly turns to Ichabod and Abbie to investigate. 

Ichabod's extensive first-hand knowledge of our country's hidden history, coupled with Abbie's superior profiling and modern threat assessment skills, make them a formidable duo. The complex pasts of the pair, from Ichabod's inclusion in the powerful and secretive Freemasons Society to Abbie's childhood visions, will help them solve the intricate puzzles of Sleepy Hollow in order to protect its – and the world's – future. As history repeats itself, the oddly-linked pair will draw on the real stories and secrets this nation was founded on in their quest to stop an increasingly vicious cycle of evil. 

Look at the trailer: 



I really love Ichabod <3 He is such a great actor. I have never been so immersed and captive by a character, ever! He truly was remarkable. I can't wait for the season to return. 

I do advise though if you are weak on some scary things about demons and stuff then don't watch it at night! haha :)

I don't know what else to say but that I really recommend this show even if you think this kind of theme does not interest you. Trust me, he will capture you and have your attention ^^ What I also loved a lot about the show was how funny it was sometimes. Some lines that Tom says are so funny! He played Ichabods part very well. 

One scene that I will never forget will be the scene where he is using the computer for the first time and he is trying to decipher something and he accidentally goes into a very sexy site ;) and he says  something along the lines of "I am sorry, madam. However, I am taken." I can't remember too well. But it was so funny when he said that and then closes the laptop. Then opens it hoping the girl leaves the screen but then quickly shuts it when she says "I am still here."

Winx Club Season 1 and Season 2 (4kids version)

I was born in the year 1993 and while growing up I have to say I had great entertainment. I remember so many of my favorite shows. Shows I would watch after school, in the mornings while my parents got ready for work and most of all the shows I would wake up early on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I will eventually talk about all of them but for now I want to talk about Winx Club.

I have recently gotten this spark of motivation to watch all of those shows I have seen as a kid. It feels great! I can't stop smiling and laughing. I am reliving the feelings I had as a kid when I watched all of these cartoons. I don't watch T.V so much anymore but when I do its with my nieces. It is so disappointing seeing the shows for kids nowadays. It is not as funny or appropriate. :( I don't know the name of the cartoons I saw with them but I have to say for cartoons with some sexual sub-messages and basically showing kids its alright to cheat is so wrong. Definitely, can not have kids watching that.

I was on Pinterest the other day and I stumbled upon this picture that was so accurate. Now, this is isn't a cartoon but it implies to basically all the shows/cartoons as well from the past. Plus, I loved Boy meets world! <3
The caption is so true though!~

Let's go back to the Winx Club.~ ^^ I remember when I first saw this cartoon I couldn't stop singing the opening song. It was so catchy and seeing such pretty outfits in the opening makes you already reeled in. I would wake up every Saturday morning at 8AM to catch the new episodes. Heck! even the reruns~~ I loved 4kids! <3 I remember I would watch Winx Club then Bratz. I also watched Yugioh, Teenage Mutant ninja turtles, Magical Doremi, and so much more that I can't remember at this moment. 

As I grew up, I slowly stopped waking up so early but I never once forgot about my adventure and memories with Winx. I remember only watching up to the beginning episodes of Season 2. Now, I re-watched all of Season 1 and 2. I am currently watching Season 3. When I was younger my favorite characters was Bloom and Flora. My favorite heroes were Riven, Brandon and Sky. I really liked Musa and Riven couple though. However, Riven in mid season 1 was very douchey. But he gets better ;) Also let me add there are three versions of Winx Club. Which are 4kids version, Rai english version, and the newest version, the Nickelodeon version. My favorite is 4kids version because that is the one I grew up with and I am used to the voices from that one. 

***I am watching Season 3 now but some episodes look familiar, so I guess as a kid I saw some of these. 

Season 1:
 
Season 1 starts off with the main character Bloom finding out she is a fairy. The first season is basically Bloom coping with her new life in this school for fairies and new realms. She encounters adventures and battles. Deep down she has such an immense power that the three main witches want to steal from her. She also meets this guy named Brandon (which his real name is Sky). Musa, Bloom, Techna, Flora, and Stella work together along with the other fairies, witches and heroes to defeat the three evil witches (Icy, Darcy, Stormy)

I really liked this season. There were a lot of funny moments between the girls and I loved the romance with the guys. I have to say my favorite episode is the one where she just started going to the school and goes to the dance with this cute outfit she made. I liked it because of her outfit <3 Its hard to choose which one I liked the most.

Season 2:

In Season 2, a new girl gets introduced. Layla, Princess of the tides gets added to the group. Now, the girls are struck by an old enemy and a new enemy. The trio (Icy, Darcy, and Stormy) return with the Dark lord. Bloom, Musa, Flora, Stella, Layla and Techna must work together as a team to defeat this enemy. of course the boys help as well. In this Season, pixies are brought in and new love lines. In the first season, the two main couples were BloomxSky and StellaxBrandon. They hinted on Techna and Timmy but nothing really deepened. Same for Riven and Musa. Poor Flora was all alone! or not... In this season they introduce Flora's love <3 His name is Helia. Now, the one who is single is Layla. In Season 2, besides fighting evil, learning new spells, couples forming, love deepening and all but the girls received their Charmax. Which is like they leveled up.

I liked this season a lot because of the love lines and how the couples are getting more focused now. When I was younger I don't remember what I thought about Layla but watching it now I neither like her or hate her. She is just bleh. haha I still haven't gotten used to her. I am really loving Helia though. Now my favorite couple is Flora and Helia.

Let me introduce the girls!


Bloom 
Flora
Musa
