Filming location: Full House

Betchay — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:30:06 +0000

I honestly have not seen the Korean drama “Full House” starring Bi (or Rain) and Song Hye Gyo, and I’m not that interested to see it. (I didn’t even finish “Coffee Prince” and a line of other “cutesy and typical” K-drama) Last Saturday (November 15) though I visited the filming location of “Full House” in Si-do [...]

I haven’t watched TV for days until today and I was surprised to see Bae Yong Joon as the new face of “The Face Shop.” I pass by “The Face Shop” stores everyday and I didn’t notice that they had changed their endorser? Here’s a snippet from an online article: Bae Yongjoon, who is the new [...]

Aging gracefully

I met my 76-year old mother last Saturday. She had a 10-hour stopover in Seoul before her flight to Los Angeles. My husband had been bugging me for days for a gift to give my mother. When I asked her, she just told us not to bother but since I insisted she said that she’d [...]

Korean weather info

Betchay — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:39:40 +0000

I was watching a replay of “Korean War in Colour” the other night and they described korean weather as “fickle.” They couldn’t be more precise. A few days ago, I could still go out in early autumn gear but today I woke up to a wintery cold weather. It’s going to be colder tomorrow (1 [...]

It’s that time of the year

Betchay — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:44:00 +0000

My desktop computer is two years old and lately it’s running a bit sluggish. What I usually do is I reformat the hard drive and reinstall the programs every six months. Next month, December, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. The problem is I don’t have enough space in my external hard disk to [...]

Big Bang’s TOP and Lee Hyori kissed!

Betchay — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 02:28:00 +0000

Big Bang’s TOP had a “controversial” kissing scene with Sandara Park in Gummy’s MV last spring. This time, he and Lee Hyori stole the limelight with their “kissing scene.” The scene kinda remind me of that limelight-stealing wardrobe-malfunction act of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake in you-know-which-show in some way. The kissing scene happened at [...]

Vacation like a rockstar

Betchay — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 04:48:43 +0000

My niece mentioned to me before a popular vacation place in Mexico named “Cabo San Lucas.” I honestly didn’t know anything ’bout it nor have I heard about that place before. I only know about Acapulco as a vacation hotspot in Mexico. Anyway, I was curious to know about Cabo San Lucas and I didn’t [...]

DIY Korea Tour: Coffee Prince location

Betchay — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 03:20:59 +0000

I haven’t been able to keep up with my e-mails lately. I’ve been receiving questions on how to go here and there. Instead of replying to each one, I decided to create a section on how to go to certain places. I visited the location of the Korean drama “1st Shop of Coffee Prince” (starring [...]

Four weeks to go

Betchay — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:50:05 +0000

Time really do fly fast! It seems only yesterday when I went back to school and was so giddy to buy a new laptop to use on my school projects. I ended up buying an Asus EEE PC 1000H with a 160 GB hard disk drive for my husband! I thought I’d give it to [...]
