Lee Min Ho Benchsetter Fun Meet

This is not Anime related but I'm still putting it under this label just because I don't know where else to put it... <peace>

"Bench" a local clothing line from the Philippines had started its venture overseas. As part of their promotion, they have been employing known artist as their advertisers. From the cast of The Vampire Diaries to Korean artist. 

One of their models was the Korean Actor Lee Min Ho. Being the Korean obsessed fan that we are, we didn't want to miss this opportunity. The invites were only being given to those who purchase a certain amount of Bench Products. 

Around the month of the event, I was so busy with work that I can't think of ways on how I can secure those Invites. Luckily, my sister was able to go mall hopping after her class from the university. My other friends (HS friends) were able to secure invites in the Lower box area of the coliseum. We wanted to join them but all we could find were VIP invites. Finally, after 4 mall and 30 mins of shopping spree on Bench Trinoma branch, my sister was able to secure 3 lower box invite. 

4 mall - my sister inquired at the register first if they still have 3 lower box invites available

30 mins - because my sister arrived in the mall 30 mins before closing time 

3 invites - because we needed an extra ticket for our older cousin who is also our chaperone

VIC: St. Patrick's Cathedral and Playing in the Park

We were not able to arrive on time for the free tour inside the Parliament House in Melbourn. While deciding where to go next, we passed by this park. Liking the "shower-y fountain" (I don't know what its called) that we saw, we decided to take a few pictures! ^_^

Casual Suit

One thing that I like about Korean drama is that they are always so fashionable! Shorts paired with a coat, match it with high heels; dresses with boots or runners and etc. Nowadays, online shops that offer Korean fashion are becoming popular. My sister, Clare, and I had been a few of their avid fans/supporter. This particular pairing was purchased by my sister (I snicked it for a photoshoot. =p)

VIC: Queen Victoria Market and Parliament House

According to the tourist handbook (you can get in Melbourn Airport), Queen Victoria Market is one of the must-see destinations. Being tourists, we followed the handbooks suggestion and decided to include it on out itinerary. We went in the morning and had our breakfast there. 

The place where we bought our breakfast. I didn't get the name of the store. We had the typical Aussie breakfast with sausage, bacon, egg, toast and caramelized onions. I think it cost around $15 for the two of us. 

Anime with "Online Gaming" theme

A few years ago, I've been obsessed with anime with online gaming as its theme. Hey! It's a combination of two of my most favorite things (Anime + Online games). ^_^

Here are some that I've watched.

.Hack//sign

This was aired around my high school days. I remember tuning-in to animax to be able to watch this. Unfortunately, I got bored with the story that I wasn't able to watch til the last episode. I also became so busy that I always miss the episode in Animax. (T_T) I'll try to watch it again when I have time. =D

Sword Art Online (SAO)

OMG! I went gaga over Kirito-kun when I first watched this. He's actually the main reason why I decided to watch. lol. ^_^ I so love his character! After watching season 1, I found out that it was originally from a light novel. Luckily I found a site where I can download them. Happiest kid while downloading the ebooks.

btw: I watched all the seasons and finished the light novels! talk about obsession men.. *_*

No Game, No Life

I watched this anime because this was the time where I was having "SAO withdrawal syndrome". I was searching the net for any anime with the same theme and my sister recommended this anime. I'm not really into the story line but the characters were actually funny, that's why I decided to finish watching it. I'm just not satisfied with the ending. I'm still hoping that there will be a season 2. note: I haven't read the manga so I can't really give a comparison.

Log Horizon

I just watched this anime recently. I even watched season 2 coz I loved it so much! It's the closest anime relating to my favorite online game (Ragnarok Online). ^_^ I'm hoping there will be a season 3. There are still a lot of unanswered questions. I also like how the characters interact. There's not much of a love story here, but there are a few hints of harem and love triangles. I'm mostly interested on Shiroe and his relation to Roe 2. I'll be waiting for season 3. ^_^

VIC: Roaming Around Melbourne CBD

Because I'm known for always posting late, I will now start posting the events last December 2014 <trows confetti and clapping =p> 

My cousin Haydn and I had a short vacation in Melbourne, Victoria. We were there for 3 days. One of Ate Haydn's friend from Singapore is now living in Melbourne. We stayed at her flat for accommodation (yehey! free place to stay) and she even toured us around the city on our first day. Thanks Ate Mye for letting us stay at your place and for the free dinner! =D 

BTW: We used the local light rail or tram to travel around the city. We bought a "Myke card" from a convenient store. It costs $7 for unlimited ride within a day. It's much cheaper than the $15 cap for Opal in Sydney.

 Town Hall.

There happen to be a light show in the evening for the whole December. I took this picture in the afternoon and we decided to return in the evening for the show. I still haven't found the evening pictures. Will post them later on once I find them. =p

#OOTD

I posted this as look 24 in lookbook.nu

 Just because Uniqlo is becoming one of my favorite apparel. Since the opening of their first store in the Philippines, we've (my siblings and I) been obsessing over their clothing. We love the simplicity with a little cuteness on their style. ^_^
