Memory 33: The Manila Times

I had my internship at The Manila Times. It was a 200-hour practicum required by the CEO and Executive Editor Sir Dante "Klink" Ang II. Initially, I was assigned to the news section under Sir William Depasupil. He was based at the defense corps office of Camp Aguinaldo at that time. I stayed for a few days in the camp and found my batch- and major-mates Ara and Axel; both from JRN4. It was hard for me since I'm not really into news. 

When the opportunity came to be part of the lifestyle section, I wrote a letter to the Executive Editor and got transferred right away. With the lifestyle section, I found the thrill I was looking for in a writing job. It's not about the loot bags but the excitement every event made me feel. I find news a thrilling experience but there's more with the lifestyle section because my interests are closer to that area. I'm happy to be able to work with the lifestyle people especially my mentors Ma'am Tessa and Miss Euden.

Here are my pride. It's not much but the experience is worth remembering. I love Times! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to discover a lot of things about myself.

THE PRE-BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Four days before my birthday, I invited my relatives and close friends to a lunch at our new house. We enjoyed the homey food, magic sing, bonding with friends & cousins, and capturing moments. I really had a great time especially the "bonding of the cousins" at night and catching up with my best friends Xartee & his boyfriend Clyde and my college close friend Bettina. I super had fun. Better setup next time :)

THE COUNTDOWN: Day 18 of 31

What's the countdown? Nothing. I'm just always excited when July comes in. First, by the end of the month it will my birthday. Second, a lot of my friends and KPOP idol members celebrate their birthdays this month. Lastly, I just love July.

I would be given a chance to spend my birthday with one KPOP group, I'll pick SHINHWA. I just love the mix of personalities of this 14-year-old group. Hands up, Changjo!

Klang Reise 005: Sistar's Alone

Sistar's Alone was released early this year. When I saw the teaser with the sexy red and black set plus the beautiful Las Vegas, I know Sistar is up for another femme fatale concept. After the controversial tail dance from last year's So Cool, here comes the butt dance for title track Alone. But this one's a little decent than the former. One fact -- SISTAR CAN DANCE.

My favorite is the lead vocal and dancer Hyorin. After watching her from Pattaya last year dancing to Love, Sex, and Magic, she's definitely one of the sexy females of girl groups. Even the male idols who participated in Pattaya confirmed that with their "wow" reactions while watching Hyorin dance. Personally, I would love to have that sexiness with a little innocence... and Hyorin knows how to do it effortlessly.

Here's the oozing smokin' hot MV. Did I add a lot of adjectives there? Forgive me. Just a fan.
