traning has started..

training just started last tuesday... so far, so good naman...


but i'm still annoyed of all the requirements to be submitted.. if you can just imagine the horror of getting all those documents before the start of the orientation.. there's not just one, not even two or three.. there's about 15 documents for set 1 and 5 more document for set 2.. like what the #$@%???

we've started classroom training last night, done with the orientation/NHOB (new hire on boarding).. i'm just glad i have this gay friend with me.. from the first day of application, until the final interview and now here in training... coz it's more fun when you have someone you know when you're totally new to the company.. and more fun when it's a gay person.. coz knowing me, i would just be quiet the whole day if i don't know anyone..


and when i say fun, it's really fun! as in my stomach aches because of laughing.. just like what happened before our 2nd day of NHOB ended...


trainer: before you leave, i just have a few announcements.. CVS pips will no longer attend NHOB (new hire on boarding) tomorrow. please go to 5th fl arctic rm in ibmplaza at 9pm..
me: (being a part of the CVS team) ah..
trainer: you JP, meet with your manager..
JP (the french agent): ok
trainer: ..and the remnants of the class..
me: hehe (laughing because of the word "remnant" along with others in the class except my gay friend who was so serious that time..)
trainer: sorry.. i didn't mean to use that word.. others, do you know where you'll go after tomorrow morning?
gay friend: bakit ba kayo tawa ng tawa?
me: eh kasi sabi niya "remnants"..
gay friend: and so? ano ba ibig sabihin nun?
me: ibig sabihin tira-tira.. hehe ;D

then i was laughing my heart out.. and finally my gay friend laughed too.. (kaya naman pala serious at walang reaction si bakla.. wehehehe ^_^ )


but wait.. this is just a sample..
of the thousands of bloopers he has..
there's more to come.. hihi ^_^

by the way, besides this gay friend that i'm with, we also met one of our previous officemates in etel, he's there in that same program and we're scheduled under the same trainer.. small world huh?

papers papers papers...

this week has really been hectic.. seriously..

i just got my job offer last week and now, i've been so busy getting all those requirements done and submitted.. coz they have this "no document no work" policy.. papers papers papers.. i really hate it!!! waaaaahhhhh i know i should be thankful that i have a new job now and i am.. but there's a part of me who wishes to remain a bum for at least one more month... hehe

who's gonna attend to my farm, cafe and restaurant... for sure i'm gonna have lesser internet time once training starts... and i've heard several feedback that the program i'm gonna be a part of is very toxic and queuing.. i'm hoping it's not.. huhuhu

a night out with the backstreet boys.. ^_^

just postin' some pics i got when i watched BSB's concert in araneta last february 27.. i sat next to general admission so the pics taken were quite far.. this is my second time.. next time, dun na talaga ako sa patron.. sana may next time pa.. wish wish.. ^_^

..............

went straight to victory bus terminal right after the concert because we were going to baguio that same night.. it was quite exhausting, but definitely worth it!!! :)

fighting spirit... aja!

i use to sing this song when i was younger.. i think that was way back elementary days... now i'm a little older but definitely wiser.. ahahaha ^_^

this is dedicated to all faithful believers of true love despite time almost running out.. for those who still believe on happy endings despite waiting for almost forever... for those who have been loving unconditionally although their love is not reciprocated (one sided love).. ouch!

this is entitled "kahit habangbuhay" by the smokey mountains..

excited to see BSB..

yes, i'm really so excited to watch the concert this coming saturday.. after 4 long years, BSB (backstreet boys) is coming back to the philippines for their long awaited concert tour.. this is their third time to visit manila and this is my 2nd time watching them (i wasn't able to watch them the first time they came here i think because i don't have money yet and i'm still a student that time.. haha ^_^ )

i'm just a little sad that kevin is no longer a part of the group.. they've been together for almost 17 years (quite long huh?) and this is the only time, the THIS IS US concert tour, that kevin will not join the group. i was able to watch their NEVER GONE concert here in the philippines as well and they still have kevin in the group that time, that was january 20, 2006 if i remember it right.. i thought that was the last time i'll see them so i was almost hysterical when i found out that they're having this concert on february 27, 2010 at the araneta coliseum.

nevertheless, i'm still happy coz i'm gonna see them again after 4 long years.. although a lot has changed, my love for this group will always remain.. NICK, AJ, BRIAN, HOWIE and KEVIN (though he already left) will always be the best boyband for me. and i really don't care about what other people may say.. as in i don't care-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh.. haha ^_^

i've grown up i know, but i think i'll never get tired of listening to them.. from "get down" (1994-1995) to "this is us" (2009-2010).. i'm a fan, will forever be a fan and will always keep the backstreet pride alive..

i'll be posting pictures after.. ^_^

just another lazy sunday..

i love sundays.. really.. they're just so relaxing..
unlike mondays, so stressful.. even now that i don't have work.. hehe ^_^

so far, i'm enjoying my vacation.. sabi nga ng mama ko, 'bakasyon grande' daw ako.. haha well i think my mind is really in vacation mode.. there's no room for any stress.. i'm resigned for almost a month now and i'm loving it. although i can say that somehow, i do miss working.. but that's only because of the payday and the friends i have there, but the work itself? hell no!!! i would rather attend to my restaurant, cafe and farm than work.. nyahaha

but of course i'll be looking for work soon.. i have to find one because my savings account is fast depleting.. hihi ^_^ and i know i'll find one soon. but for now, i'll just enjoy this lazy sunday afternoon.. i may watch a movie later after the sunday mass or just stay home and do a kdrama marathon.. hehe aja! \(^_^)/

miss you like crazy

this is definitely one of the movies i really can't afford to miss.. honestly, i'm not really a fan of filipino movies.. but if it's from starcinema.. i think it's worth a try.. especially if it stars lloydie and bea... i've been a fan of them for several years now...

John Lloyd Cruz, i've watched him since Tabing Ilog (he was Rovic), then he was Yuri in Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay, Lawrence in It Might Be You, Oliver in Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin, Eli in Maging Sino Ka Man and Armando in I Love Betty La Fea. he is one of abscbn's most promising young actors and has teamed up with several actresses like kaye abad, rica peralejo, sarah geronimo, etc.. but no one has beaten his chemistry with Bea Alonzo.. i don't know if i'm being biased because i'm their fan or if there really is a very bright spark between them two.. when he paired with sarah, i know a lot of people loved that team up but for me it was just a so-so.. it may have been close to what he and bea had but it fell a little short.. well, that's just my opinion so i say peace to all sarah-lloydie fans who may read this one day..

i've just seen the trailer of 'miss you like crazy' so i'm still hyped til now.. not seeing them for almost 3 years was quite a long time so i'm really excited to see this movie.. i really can't wait... lloydie and bea always had this "magic".. since their first movie 'now that i have you' then 'close to you' after that was the blockbuster movie 'one more chance'... then on feb 24, this much awaited movie 'miss you like crazy'.. i'm so sure i'm gonna see the "magic" again because there is always this "kilig" factor whenever i see them in a drama or movie.. ;) i dunno why.. maybe it's just natural.. here's the vid of the trailer from the uploader ABSstarcinema in youtube.. :)

surprisingly, i find lloydie so charming lately.. especially when he performs with the kanto boys in ASAP.. wehehe he's not that gorgeous looking but he's really cute and funny.. i find those qualities really appealing, that if i had to choose between him and dingdong dantes.. i may choose lloydie.. maybe.. hihi ;D

Yoon Eun Hye and 2PM's Cass CF

i've seen this commercial a few days back but i never knew that there was this "mini drama" version created for this ad. honestly, i liked it a lot! :) the plot was really nice.. yes, i'm really impressed. it's a little longer but definitely better than the mini drama version of minho & sandara for this same beer...

here are the vids, enjoy! :)

i never had a clue that it was actually eunhye.. who would've? i kept thinking it was the other girl (the fan).. nice twist eh?! or was i just really that slow? hehe ;)
nonetheless, i'm still hoping for yoon eun hye's and lee min ho's collaboration.. i really wanna see them together.. as in! *wish*wish*wish*

Kim Hyun Joong & Yoon Eun Hye - Basic House Section TV Interview

another lazy sunday.. slept for more or less ten hours straight.. haha that's because i was wide awake the night before when i went to my friend's house for her birthday celebration.. a celebration that won't be forgotten ever.. or at least not anytime soon.. because of all the adventure, comedy, excitement and drama rolled into one.. hahaha ;)

anyways, i was again browsing over some vids in youtube when i found this...

Kim Hyun Joong seems to be very shy in this interview.. i think he likes Yoon Eun Hye just by looking on the way he acts here (although he answered he likes the other vox member more than eun hye)..

hmmm i personally think it would be fine to have them collaborate in this photoshoot or even in a drama.. but of course Lee Min Ho would still be my best pick for Yoon Eun Hye.. really can't wait to see MinHo and EunHye together.. waaaaahhhhh \(^_^)/

O-M-G!!! i didn't know Yoon Eun Hye also has a cass beer commercial..

i was browsing through some korean ads in youtube when i saw this vid. i have long wished to see her partner w/ minho either in a drama or in a commercial.. i would have been happier to see minho's most recent cass cf if it was eun hye instead of sandara.. sigh...

LMH "Hope you all may have great and warm Chuseok."

Posted on Newsen, Reporter Yun HyunJin, 2009-10-01
English translated by loveminho.com

Actor LMH greeted all of his fans for the Korea's biggest holiday festival " Chuseok', Korean Thanksgiving Day(Mid-Autumn Festival).

LMH, dressed up in pretty purple-color Korean traditional cloths, made a big smile that was different from 'BOF' Gu JunPyo's, and made a deep bow, saying "Hope you all may have great and warm Chuseok."

Asked about the Korean traditional cloths, he transferred his thought that "This is first time to wear Korean traditional cloths since I made greetings in last New Year holiday. The color, pattern and fabric are all too good and nice, so it makes my action and attitude more calm. In this holiday, I'd like to enjoy it with my family in these cloths."

Recently, LMH has emerged as an Asian star who published his single photo book 'Travel with MINHO' and is called as 'Sell-out man' or 'Sold-out man' after the ticket for his single event to be held in Japan was completely sold out. He talked about his recent activities that "Thank you very much for the concerns and supports. I am considering next works carefully now. It is not determined yet, but I would like to meet you in a good work as soon as possible. I am now concentrating on foreign language and acting that I think insufficient."

resigned...

i struggled for quite a while.. to stay or to leave, that was the question..
but i finally decided to end it all last friday morning, when i signed my resignation letter effective february 10, 2010.

this started more than half a year ago. when our client pulled out from etel, i was still with m&m, the dilemma was whether to stay with etel or accept the rebadge package sykes and wns offered the m&m agents. i chose staying with etel because i believed so much on how this company valued its employees.. well i thought that time it was the right decision. so i stayed..

but m&m had to let go of us before it finally shuts down in october. we transferred to another program in august, this was in shaw. i have written several entries regarding this stressful program, this was where i experienced hell.. i was literally dragging myself to work. i have thought several times of giving up and resigning because of that program.. when suddenly we received a notice that they will transfer us back to rolex.. so i postponed my plan.

we transferred back to rolex and i was happy once again. although i must admit, there has been several changes as well in rolex especially in the higher management team.. but this was way much better than staying there in shaw. this was also the time when the stream and etelecare merger pushed thru which most of us hoped to be for the good of all (but now turns out to be the worst decision etel has made...)

then the last week of january arrived, the annual ramp down started. the program cannot support a lot of high level agents so as we have expected, we were the first in line for transfer. nevertheless, we hoped to be transferred to a different program, not back to hire right. but guess what? they compromised transferring us back to hire right and that was definitely a NO for me.. but guess what again, there was no option to say NO, how's that? no option for LOI not even to float and wait for other programs.. nice huh? being in such a position left me no choice but to resign... that ended my contract with etel, effective at a later date due to my leaves left.. my terminal leave, by the way, was also an issue before i signed my resignation because the higher management did not allow me to consume them at first and told me that by resigning i forfeit all my leaves left.. what the??? thanks to my ever dependable TL who was very angry when he found out what happened and told me not to sign the papers yet last wednesday because he'll talk to them regarding these leaves.. i thank you soooo much!!! :)

a lot of us thought that being a part of this bigger company (stream) would be very beneficial for the etel employees.. but it turned out to be the exact opposite. the so called "merger" seemed to be a "buy out". changes were expected but not to the extent of not leaving any etel trace in the company at all. the infamous culture and values of etelecare are now gone... even the ham and cheese during christmas is gone. attendance policy is totally different, payroll system on a bi-weekly scheme, quarterly PA still in limbo, per minute salary rate applied, finger scan gone, breakfast for the champs i'm sure will be gone soon as well as high flyer bonuses, etc. etc. what else can they take away? there's nothing left... even employee value is no longer felt..

Etelecare International once said "Building an Industry, Building People".
then it became Etelecare Global Solutions and said "World Class World Wide".
then became Stream Global Services saying "BUDGET DRIVEN?"

after 4 years 3 months and 12 days.. i'm ending it all and now i'm free.. from all the stress and dilemmas.. i believe i've endured staying for so long because i'm hopeful of better changes and got nothing but pure disappointment.. now i'm relieved though a little sad as well.. for i will always have the fondest memories of the first company i worked for.. and that's etelecare not stream..

now, i guess it's really time to say goodbye..

LMH and Sandara's Cass CF 100x Kiss

payout sucks!!! i know this sounds very bitter, but who wouldn't be if after working during christmas and new year's eve you would only earn a thousand higher than those who were on off and enjoyed the holiday season at home?!?!? and i wasn't even given a tax refund.. this budget-driven company really sucks!!! i really feel i should get outta here soon...

sigh...

since i'm in the bitterness mode... why not add more animosity.. haha

here's the very controversial 100-time filming of lee min ho and sandara's cass cf kissing scene.. yes, not once, not twice, not thrice, not even ten times but more than a hundred times!!! sounds intentional eh? i'm sure all minho fans are jealous.. or maybe not jealous but envious, that would be a more appropriate term.. and some bitter like me.. wehehehe ;D

LMH & Sandara "100 time kisses made the lips swollen"

Posted on Newsen, Reporter Hong Jung -won, 2009-09-06

'Kiss of Bad Love' between BOF LMH and 2NE1's Sandara Park becomes a hot topic.

In the new advertisement steal cut of Cass beer released on the 6th, LMH and Sandara Park performed a fascinating kiss scene that they approached each other and kissed. The sparking love of youngsters who refuse to be same as others was sensuously filmed and two leading characters radiate their fatal charms of 'bad guy' & 'bad girl'

In the CF, breaking the conventional image of pure and beautiful girl, Sandra Park transformed herself into a stylish and edge bartender matched with sexy smoky eyes, highly tied-up hair and bold and vivid colors.

...

Sandara Park who kisses to LMH with mysterious expression, shows her extraordinary charms as giving out atmosphere of 'femme fatale'. Especially in the last Cass 2X CF, LMH exceptionally transformed himself with sexy smoky eyes & drumstick shaped hair style and charismatically acted the role of a bad guy who resolutely left the model 'Jesica Gomez', but this time he acts a charming guy who owns everything and dashes confidently to Sandara Park by a kiss and reveals his new self of 'homme fatal'.

According to the statement from an official person of Cass beer commercial, they had to film the kiss scene more than 100 times, as two kiss scenes were to appear in the new CF. There is a behind story that LMH and Sandara Park used to be exhausted with their swollen lips all through the filming due to the continued filming for the kiss scene.

http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=200909061038331001

well.. i wouldn't mind having my lips all swollen if it's because of minho.. i would gladly exchange places with dara.. no buts, no ifs, anytime, anywhere, any day, everyday.. hihi ;)

i'm slowly making my way back to minho blogging..
and i like it.. :)

LMH's outlook on love..

tomorrow is new year's eve and i'll be in the office... yeah, i know it sucks to work during the holiday season most especially during new year's eve.. such as loser me.. i can bear the thought of not being at home during christmas but new year is really different.. but i guess that's life...

[light bulb moment!]

lee min ho.. haha ;) who else can put a smile on my face in an instant.. hihi after quite a long time, i was able to browse over loveminho's site again.. here's another repost from her site..

LMH's outlook on love? Friendship is ahead of love.

Posted on Asiaeconomy, Reporter Hwang Yong-hee, 2009-09-05
English translated by loveminho.com
photocredit: as labelled

'BOF' LMH unfolded his thoughts slightly about his 'outlook of love' and 'outlook of acting' in the Premier Event for BOF that was held at Yokohama National University Hall in the evening of September 5th.

In front of 4,000 Japanese fans that day, as a response to a question what would be the difference of the outlook of love between 'LMH himself' and 'BOF GJP', he said "While GJP's outlook of love is just very strong and aggressive regardless of the other party's feeling, real LMH approaches carefully at first when someone who I like appears, but becomes more aggressive when the other party shows good feeling to me and catches my sincerity. Therefore, I like the proverb most that 'Blessed are those who wait.' However, it is better to stay as a friend at first."

To the MC's question 'how you would act if you should love a girl that some other loves just like GJP and YJH', he answered "Even though it is my friend, it cannot be allowed if he breaks into our love as Jihoo did in the drama. However, I will not make such situation. I will tell my friend about this first and he might understand well enough". Also for the question 'Friendship first? or love first?" he answered "Friendship first, love after", which cause the audiences' applause.

LMH also mentioned about his outlook of acting that day. For the question 'what kind of cast you would want to take', he revealed his implicit desire to take various experiences by saying "I would like to make action performance as well as heart-breaking melodramatic performance. But it would be better if it fits into my age."

For the question 'whether you had any hard times', he confessed "I had almost given up acting when I was a nameless actor" and showed he has considerably optimistic character, saying "I was hospitalized for 6 months due to car accident and could not work more than a year. This period was very tough time for me. But such a hard time probably made today's LMH"

Lastly, for the question 'how you spend time after 'BOF'', LMH indicated he was contacting various works, saying "Recently, I took photos in London and Sydney for a photo book. I lived with pleasant and bright attitude and put all these into photos. I will be able to meet my fans again with a good work soon."

[Star shot] Have you seen make-not-up Gu Jun-pyo?

I've posted some photos taken by me after a long time. The hero of photos is LMH who has created 'Gu Junpyo Syndrome' through the drama 'BOF'. LMH has made a sensation as Gu Junpyo of BOF. He gained popularity with hair perm in the BOF. However, LMH's hair looked ordinary in today's photos. It looked as natural as if he just woke up and washed his hair. Maybe, it's hard for many of LMH fans to see his hair style like it.

His fashion also looked very comfortable. It looked like he went to a convenient shop to buy a snack. A white short T-shirt, black short pants and sneakers....LMH who shows off a superior stature showed up a model pose even though he wore a ordinary clothing.

Let's see LMH's photos with no painted face, though there are a few pieces.

An alley in NonHyun-dong (district). Suddenly one extraordinary imported car stopped on the street with an engine sound and LMH without make-up got out of the front seat in the car.

He closed the door but opened it again as if he seemed to lose something. I guess... it might be a mobile phone.

After that, he walked to somewhere. Fortunately there were no passers-by on the street, so the anxious situation such as recognizing him or screaming with joy didn't happen.

Even I'd like to get his autograph by myself, but there is more important thing than the signature to the photographer. It's just spot shots.

Since the distance was up close, I shot only a few photos. But it was a lucky day I shot MH's appearance who looked sleepy.

Now LMH is controlling himself on air except CFs and photoshoots. His opinion is to choose the next work more carefully. He said he would let fans see more prepared appearance with exercise and foreign language study during vacation. I hope to see him through TV sooner or later.

BUSYness??? :]

i wasn't able to blog for a while... i guess i was a little busy lately.. i was so busy managing my farm, my restaurant and my cafe... as if! haha those are all in facebook... :D

a lot has happened.. several typhoons have swept the country... after ondoy, there was pepeng, ramil, santi and tino... there has been issues regarding dswd hording/keeping the donations given by other countries especially those coming from unicef... there's also an earthquake prediction that i'm really hoping won't hit the philippines... the much awaited roxas-sanchez nuptial has been held... pacquiao has won over cotto.. etc... etc... etc..

oh, and have i mentioned that we've transferred back to rolex? well if not, i just did now.. hihi



yes, we're back finally! yipeeee! after our everyday stressful stay in hireright and after praying so hard each night, we (mommy chix, jenni and i) have finally managed to get out of that freakin' crappy program.. i'm not pertaining to the people there but the program itself.. no offense meant (especially to our friends who are still there... feeling helpless and trapped.. hihi peace! :D) but i really hate that program.. i got nothing but stress and headache in each and every shift i attended.. so wasted.. i wanted to get out of that program so badly that i was so willing to transfer anywhere.. i've thought of transferring to the QA team, PAC/workforce, etc... definitely anywhere just as long as i find my way out of that program... as in super desperate to the nth level!!! so when i finally got out, i can't help but feel so lucky!!! but wait, there's more... not only did we get out of that crappy program, we also transferred back to rolex and that's a super duper bonus! wooohoooo! :)


sigh... so where am i now? hmmm... i took over rolex mailbox for a month while junis conducted training to the newbies.. and yes, i've also had lots of stress and headache managing the mailbox alone but that was way much better than staying in hireright.. definitely better!!! yesterday i was back to taking in calls.. so far so good... no escal split yet.. weeee! hihihi :D


i have a shift later.. then the day after is already my off (wednesday).. yey!!! i think i can get back to minho blogging soon.. hopefully.. :)

Typhoon Ondoy

we had a triple bday treat last saturday, september 26, with our officemates in etel... the celebrants are garsha, mommy julie and me... a lot came.. mommy chix, jenni, tricky, ching, tintin, junis, jabo, carlo a.k.a. lloydie and lester. we even got a 5% discount from the manager of seafood island in eastwood, libis. everyone was happy except for the sky who has been crying nonstop since the night before...

when breakfast ended, five of us asked jabo for a ride. batintin will be dropped off in marikina and the four of us (me, mommy chix, jenni and tricky) in batasan, sandiganbayan. on our way out of eastwood, the rain was still heavy.. very very heavy actually.. there was almost zero visibility but we were all decided to go home so we proceeded.

we dropped off batintin in concepcion, marikina. water was, i think, just 6 inches high or just above the ankle that time. but on our way out, water was rising continuously. we had to leave the car at the gas station because have to go somewhere higher. first stop was at the church, we sat there for a while. i was staring blankly at the water that was almost 2 ft high thinking of what should be done.. but i couldn't think of any... the water continued rising so we left and decided to go to batintin's house. that was when i experienced being soaked in a mud colored water that was almost neck deep. we had to walk hand-in-hand in order to not lose anyone because the water current was also strong.

we finally reached batintin's house, after soaking, or should i say swimming for almost 30 minutes. we bathed a little because we were all beginning to feel itchy and our clothes were all wet. i was so shocked as this was the first time i, myself, experienced this.. being almost like a refugee... but i still feel lucky because, at least, we found a place to stay overnight.

we left sunday morning, there were no more floods but there were lots of mud everywhere. there were still a lot of people roaming in the city, looking for a ride home. we were finally able to go home. thanks to jabo's tito and tita who shared a ride to me and mommy chix until we reached the road connecting san mateo to batasan hills. i got home, took a bath, checked my mails and slept after, i was so tired. i woke up at 12 mn and i haven't slept til now so i decided to write this.

this typhoon, is by far, the most devastative one i've seen with my own two eyes... this is the first time i experienced swimming in an almost 5 ft high flood. truly one of the most unforgettable experiences in my life! it plunged majority of the cities in metro manila and left a lot of families homeless... i wasn't able to take pictures myself because i wasn't in the mood, i felt so down that time... but below are pictures i found @ news.xinhuanet.com and news.asiaone.com.. it was so heartbreaking to see people, especially the elderly and the children, walking here and there, to find a better place to stay.. there were many lives lost as well, unfortunately...

..............

i'm praying for everyone's fast recovery, especially those who were greatly affected...
God bless the Philippines!

Sandara Park and Lee Min Ho's Cass Photoshoot Interview

i love this video a lot! i first saw this in youtube last saturday, 09/12/09, without any translations. i was so amazed when I heard Sandara utter tagalog words at 3:49 saying "kumusta kayong lahat, si Sandara to, ayan kasama ko si Junpyo, inggit kayo noh? beh!" and when she made Min Ho say "mahal ko kayo" at 4:25. super nakakakilig!!! hihihi

this made me so eager to know what the conversation was all about so i requested loveminho to translate the interview. luckily that same day, she did the translation. i was so happy!

here's the video, the translation is below. again, thanks to the uploader loveminhovn and to the translator loveminho.com. enjoy! :)





Reporter : The hottest stars of 2009, BOF LMH and 2NE1 Sandara Park enjoyed a cool date, and I am going to reveal that spot tight away.

A man who showed up lightening the dark location!!!
Suddenly people was getting busy to take photos, the hero is the very LMH!

LMH Hello(wink)

PD Didn't you miss MBC Section TV program?

LMH I missed it so much. Why do you come only now?

PD What are you filming for?

LMH I was taking the photo shoot for beer CF in paper media.

In the previous CF, it became a topic that LMH filmed a thrilling kiss-scene with Jesica Gomez.

PD Then this time, with whom will you act together?

This girl with hip fashion will be his partner, 2NE1 Sandara Park.

PD Wow, You are well-matched each other. What is your impression after completing the CF filming with LMH?

Sandara It was thrilling and nervous, but it was exciting.

Of course she should.. They made a kiss-scene from the first meeting.
They kissed as many as over 100 times for the CF

PD Recently, your funny(weird) photos became the talk on the internet

Sandara :Aha~ the photos taken by myself....
I really like taking self-shots. I tried to take photos with various funny looks.

PD Please show us your best funny look just one time.

(Sandara made a funny face)

PD She is so beautiful whatever she expresses.

At that time, a new member of 2NE1 showed up at the studio, it is Santina(It means cheap in Korean) Park of 2NE4^^.

Reporter The two hottest icons in recent entertainment are attended here. BOF LMH and 2NE1 Sandara Park!!!!! They can't take their eyes off my hair. Mine is exactly same as Sandara's, right?

LMH It seems yours is much thinner.

Reporter Yep, I actually have thin hair. You look more handsome after the period since I have ever seen you.

LMH (I was too much occupied) Now, I feel comfortable while recharged...At that time(in my previous interview), I was exhausted by tight schedules.

Q: What was the first impression each other?

Dara: He looked like a rich boy

LMH: You got wrong.

Q: LMH, what was your impression of Sandara ?

LMH I thought she would be active and cute, but she is rather calm.

Many audiences may be surprised, if they hear Sandara is the eldest among three of us.
Dara was born in 1984, I was born in 1986 and LMH was born in 1987.

Q: Did you know that she is elder than you?

LMH Yes, I did

Q: It seems strange that you call her as elder sister (Nuna)?

LMH So I didn't call her as elder sister, but just Miss Sandara

Q: Which group do you like most among girl groups?

LMH 2NE1

He answered as soon as finishing the question.

Q: Do you know any song of 2NE1?

LMH I don't care

Q : Please sing a few bars.

LMH I don't care

Q: He really sang only one bar of the song, "I don't care" ^^
Many people made parodies of 2NE1, have you ever seen that?

Sandara Yes, I have.

Q: Which parody are you satisfied with the most?

Sandara The parody done by KyungRim unni seemed the best since it's first one so we watched it with curiosity.

Q: I heard you visited the Philippines as a short vacation.

Sandara I visited for 2 nights and 3 days

Sandara already gained a big popularity in the Philippines before her debut in Korea.
Now she is getting more popular.

Q: This program "Section TV" is aired all around world.
Please give greetings to the fans in the Philippines

(Sandara greeted in Tagalog) "kumusta kayong lahat, si Sandara to, ayan kasama ko i Jun Pyo, inggit kayo no? beh!"
("Hello everyone, this is Sandara, I bet you're all envious because I'm with Jun Pyo. aren't you? beh!")

Q: (Though we don't understand what she said) It's exciting

Sandara When I went to the Philippines, people asked me "Have you seen GuJunPyo?"

Q: Really~ I've also heard BOF had made a big hit there.
So don't you feel the need of learning Philippine language?

LMH It seems hard to learn it in a short period of time

Sandara I am telling you a word in Tagalog. "mahal ko kayo"
It means I love you all. The Philippine fans might like it very much

LMH: "Hello Philippine fans, mahal ko kayo"

Sandara It's my first time to greet to the audiences through this program, and I am very glad to meet you. Please give your great love to me and also to 2NE1.

LMH I was very happy to see you after a long time, give your big love to the reporter and me.


hearing him say "mahal ko kayo" is really so kawaii! super nakakakilig!!! :)
i know words are not enough to thank you loveminho.
thank you sooooo much!!! you're really the best!
kamsahamnida! aja! ^^,
