The Awkward Probinsyana

3rd Week of the Enhanced Community Quarantine here in Luzon. I can't think of anything else to do other than to update my blog. I just finished Crash Landing On You and my love for KDrama was revived by it. Since I am bored, I have decided to add a new tab, Watch List 📺. For this one, I'll be recommending a few KDramas that I've seen from 1st episode to the last that I won't mind watching again. 😊


Title: Full House
Year: 2004
Main Cast: Rain / Song Hye Kyo
Kilig Factor: 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I have seen this Kdrama first way back 2005, this was also aired in GMA on the same year. So okay, one thing you should learn about me is that I cry whenever I feel giddy and imagine the number of times I cried over this KDrama. I love the lightness the Song Hye Kyo's character Han Ji Eun brought to this drama. My favorite part of this entire series is that moment, Lee Young Jae (Rain) went to Magic Land on Ji Eun's birthday secretly but ended up being mauled by his fans because Ji Eun wasn't there. 😆 Also, that time when he brought Ji Eun flowers because she hasn't receive any her entire life. AAAAAAAAAAAH, the feels. 💛 This Kdrama is available on Netflix and guess what, I am watching this one again. 💚


Title: Wonderful Life
Year: 2005
Main Cast: Kim Jae Won / Eugene / Jung Da Bin
Kilig Factor: 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

This Kdrama is one of those kdramas that made me cry the most. If you haven't seen this one, this kdrama is worth your time. Though this is also one of those KDramas that I prefer the supporting actor more than the main actor. What is it about? HMMM 😎 Well it's about 2 strangers, meeting coincidentally, hang out, then bam! A baby! 😅 But there's is so much more to this KDrama than just one night stand. 😊 Go see it, this is definitely worth it. 😁💚


Title: My Lovely Sam Soon / My Name Is Kim Sam Soon
Year: 2005
Main Cast: Hyun Bin / Kim Sun Ah
Kilig Factor: 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Alright you kids, I know you loved Captain Ri but have you seen him as Jin Hyeon in My Lovely Sam Soon? If you haven't yet, YOU MUST WATCH THIS. 💚 I remember being called Sam Soon back in High School because of my high school crush who kind of have a little resemblance to Hyun Bin but yup yeah, forget it. Kilig factor should be 101 over 10, 💛😘 I don't know why but I really have this thing for main actors who keeps their feelings! 😊😊 And please do take note of how cute Hyun Bin is everytime he smirks 😏 Ahhh, my heart. 💚


Title: Goong [Princess Hours]
Year: 2006
Main Cast: Ju Ji Hoon / Yoon Eun Hye
Kilig Factor: 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I know kids, he's also the Crown Prince from Kingdom! Back in high school, Ji Hoon kinda looked like somebody I know. I have also seen this KDrama several times (well once sans skipping the palace parts 😅). This also made me cry so much! 😢 This may look like your typical high school-arrange marriage-rags to palace kind of story but it's so cute, i can't even explain how much I enjoyed watching this. 💛 So if you kids wanna know how the Titas knew Ju Ji Hoon, this kdrama can explain. 😆

Alright, so these four are my favorites back in the day. There is still more to share. This Tita from the KDrama community will be honored to share the rest that I can remember on this blog, I'll also be sharing my thoughts on the new ones that I've recently completed.

Much Love,
Ria 💙

I've been meaning to share about the books that I have finished. Please bear with me as I am not an expert in the field of "book review". 😅 This is just intended to be a book recommendation for those who are looking for something to read. 👩

Title: Girl In Pieces
Author: Kathleen Glasgow
My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Trigger warning! There are sensitive issues in this book. Well to be honest, I, myself was going through a difficult time when I got this book. It's a good read as long as you know how to separate reality from fiction. The main character here has experienced so much in her life at such a young age. From losing her parents, her best friend, and eventually her will to live. This is way too much to handle for someone her age. What I love about this book is to see her heal in the process. It's something that we all wanted and deserves, a chance to heal and find a new meaning to life. 




Overall, I think it is a good read. I like it and would recommend this to anyone who's looking for something to read right now especially at this time that we all have to stay home. But again, TRIGGER WARNING ❗❗❗

To anyone who is currently in a dark season of their lives, there's always hope. 💗 There are still days when things can get really really bad but trust me, everything will pass. 💓

Yay! I am so happy that I was finally able to start this series. 😅 After so many years! 😆 I hope I can be consistent this time.

XO,
Ria

How's everyone holding up? How're your 2020 guys? I know!!!! This year surprised us so much and is still surprising us. I can't even with this year anymore but one good thing about 2020 is that, it gave me time to open my blog and share my thoughts. I'll be sharing it in bullets so as not to confuse you with my scattered thought processing.
  • It's the 3rd week of the community quarantine here in the Philippines. COVID-19 shocked the world with it's growing number of cases and death. Please STAY AT HOME if you can. I know we can all get through this disease as one with prayers and safety measures of course.
  • Having said that, it's also the 3rd week of our work from home setup. Do I miss the office? Yes! Do I miss my daily commute? Hell no. 😎
  • We've planned a few trips ahead and sad to say most of it won't push through. I haven't seen my friends in a while and I really miss them all. 👭👬👯
  • I started learning how to sew, I have always wanted to do that. Just one of the Tita things that I have always wanted to learn and the stay at home measures gave me the opportunity to do so.
  • I started doing Muay Thai for workouts but sad to say that I stopped for a while due to the ongoing quarantine. I promise to be consistent once the protocol has been lifted.
  • I have finished several series in Netflix! Finished Kingdom the fastest cause it's sooooo good, I definitely recommend it! 💻
  • I wanted to do a prayer VLOG/BLOG but I am not really good at it. I just wanna get back on my spiritual life but still don't know how to start. I will definitely figure this one out.
  • Since I have no interesting shenanigans lately, I wanna get back into creative writing. I've done it years ago but I just stopped and I don't know why. I need my creative juices back.
  • I'm super excited about something, I've been pinning ideas from Pinterest and I can't wait to share everything once it's all done.🏠
  • 2020 is the year I'm turning 29 then I have one whole year to turn my life around before I turn the big three zero. Praying for the best. 💙
I guess that's it for this episode of the quarantined life. Tune in next time for more boring shenanigans in my life. Just kidding! I have a few ideas in my mind and I might as well update this blog as often as I can now that I have the time. Love you and always be kind and magical. 💖

So, what the hell is going on with my life at this point?

We're already on the second month of the new year and still, this is the first post that I am going to share for 2020. I can't think of any shenanigans that I can share to have this post in bullets. But so far, everything is going steady. Well, I got pissed a lot more times this February and I won't share anything about it here cause there are lurkers all around and I don't wanna bother explaining to anyone I am not even close with.

I am thinking of doing Muay Thai and more physical activities this year. Also, due to the flooding number of requirements that I am currently handling, I haven't even started on writing my 30 before fucking 30 list but Muay Thai is def one of those. I also wanted to try to climb at least one goddamn mountain before I turn 30 and not just drown in the misery of being a recruiter. There's also a number of weddings this year that I have been invited to. Kind of excited for these people that I love dearly! 💚 2020 is definitely a year of love for my friends and family and I am truly excited for them 💛

And oh, did I tell you that I told this dude that I like(d) him. Yup, pretty much the highlight of 2019 💙 One of 30 before 30 list already ticked off even before I started writing it. Not a fucking happy ending though, wake up guys this isn't a fairy tale. 😆

That's all I have for now. Hopefully something magical will happen soon so I have more things to share. 💙

You gotta step into the daylight, and let it go.
It's been a while since I opened my blog and write something. But to start off, I wanna let everyone know that I think I am in a better place than before. Not literally, but mentally. LOL. I know I've been quite unstable a few months back and I have been very vocal about it in my previous posts. My only outlet is this blog that's why I can't really let go with the traditional way of blogging. 😀

Anyway, I have lots of stories to tell - First, I got a new job. I'm not saying that my previous job is no good. It's just that sometimes, if your career is your top priority - great opportunities will knock on your door and you just can't let it pass. That is exactly what happened to me. At the moment, my family is also on top of my priority list and if there are employment opportunities that would cover both my personal needs and the needs of my parents - I would definitely consider it. All praise to our Almighty God for all his provisions as well. ❤

Next --- I met really amazing but sometimes annoying friends. I think going out with them helped me with my anxiety/depression as well. They never knew anything about it though. I am trying my best to be the happiest person I can be whenever I go out with them. I don't wanna be labeled as a party pooper. 😂

I also met someone that I really liked in an instant. I know, it's another story to tell but let me just put it this way. This person doesn't even know I like him just because I don't want him to. He's a good friend and I want to keep him in my life so I'd rather keep him as a friend than not to keep him at all. Also, surprise! He's got a girl. Ouch 💔

Well, for now, I guess that's it. As usual, my thoughts are once again scattered and words are all over the place. Will try my best to share more stories with you.

Hola fairies! So I am back for another episode of What's Going On In My Boring Life. 😁 Let me just share some updates in bullet form. 💚💚💚

  • I've been really busy with work these days (what's new siz), I've got a bucket full of tasks and duties to fulfill but so far so good. IT IS STRESSFUL and not good for the mental health but trying to get through every single day with a smile. 💜
  • My mom has been pestering me with her Samgyup cravings and I gave in. I told her to stop watching Yang Soo Bin mukbangs cuz those videos are sinful. Hahahaha 😂😂😂
  • My nephew's new addiction? Toy Story 1! He has already memorized it and knows the scenes by heart. He would cry if we don't play it for him. Such a cutie pie. 💙💚💛💜
  • Funny but I am so invested in this online drama of a so-called Facebook loveteam and this girl from RBreezy something. Guy is obvs a crook, I don't understand how he got 2 girls fighting over him. Not. Worth. IT. This is just another effin episode of #MenAreTrash *pukes my gut out** 😠😠😠
  • I started writing something on my journal daily but in third person POV. 💜
Well, for now. These are all I can remember. But I'll update again soon. 💛💜💚💙
