What’s Up With Lee Min Ho?

Travel With Minho

And I’m back. Yay!

The past three weeks have been grueling for me but enough about that. There’s so much to write about but what better way to start blogging again than to write about my beloved flower boy Lee Min Ho. Honestly, I’m starting to get tired of seeing him on CFs because I need my drama fix now and I’m still contemplating on whether I’m going to watch Boys Over Flowers again, for the nth time. I want to move forward to better things and better dramas I hope. So what’s up with my guy?

First off, Lee Min Ho just released a photo book entitled “Travel With Minho.” It contains photos of Min Ho in some beautiful locations while shooting scenes from his dramas, films and CFs I suppose. It’s being peddled as a travel sketch since Min Ho took some time from his break to write to his fans. I want this so bad but I probably have to wait since it’s only available in Japan and Korea (boo hoo!). For more details about the photo book, check this out.

kmjs

Just a short plugging before I go to sleep.

To all Kpop fans out there most especially those who love DBSK, Wondergirls and 2ne1, this is your chance to see your favorite Kpop groups featured in local television.

Magazine show Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho has a story about Kpop groups and fans in their episode tonight.  This was supposed to be aired last week but it was pre-empted for a more valuable story. Other stories include the conjoined twins and the lotus flower in Pampanga.

Here’s a short description taken from their site:

KOREAN POP

From Koreanovela craze to K-Pop or Korean Pop songs… the hits just keep on coming from the land of Morning Calm — South Korea! Filipinos can’t help but dance to the tune of the chart-topping song “Nobody” by the Wondergirls. Even the world-famous Cebu Dancing Inmates are too quick to pick up the beat! Meanwhile, Korean star Sandara Park makes a huge comeback in Philippine showbiz via the girl group 2NE1.With all the buzz on K-Pop, can we really say that Koreans are the new Filipino Idol?

Catch Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho at 8:30pm only at GMA7.

Transformer robots dance to Wondergirls’ Nobody

So the Nobody craze is everywhere. I mean, even the jeepney drivers are now singing to this Wondergirls’ song but who would have thought that Bumblebee liked to dance to this as well?

Hahaha! just kidding. Of course these are not the real Transformer robots because Optimus Prime is not here but they are still robots nonetheless. Kudos to whoever made this video and programmed them. This is seriously amazing.

Watch the video below.
