Jang Ja-yeon from Boys over Flowers cast died

A 29 years old Jang Ja Yeon is one of the cast of the  famous Korean Series " Boys over Flowers" which is recently shown here  Philippines. Her role is one of  the mean girls.

Her tragic death shocked everyone in Korea. The sister found  Jang Ja Yeon  dead by  committing suicide last March 7,2009 around 7 P.M. by hanging herself at the staircase.  Before she commit suicide,  Jang Ja Yeon friends said  that she was  having a problem in her contract renewal , she said "It's very hard and I want to die".  She left a letter that reveal she had been coerced into sex with well-known figures and physically/ verbally abused. The police are taking measures to ensure the letter is authentic before it will be release to public.

 I can say that entertainment industry is extremely dirty specially if you want to be famous and to have a big break  to the  industry  they will take advantage  to you. 

Jang Ja Yeon started her career in 2006 as a TV commercial model then into a small role drama and now into a popular "Boys over Flowers".

Gumasa Sarangani Sunset

It was 10th of April I was in Gumasa Sarangani with friends.   Gumasa  has a extraordinary  sunset that's the reason why I  kept  on coming back there.  Took the shot  using my Canon PowerShot SD550.  Enjoy viewing! 

Kelly Pickler

I find Kelly Pickler a beautiful young woman. She's in really good shape and glows; has a calm confidence she never had before, which is great.  She's an American Idol contestant who's improved the most from their look/sound on the show.

I liked Kellie a lot in season five, think she's a good person just trying to make it, and someone who gets excited about new things.

Paula, with long white gloves on, gives her a big ovation. Kellie's as polite as ever to Ryan afterwards, then her usual blonde confusion about which way to walk off. :-)

Frankie Avalon on stage

Frankie Avalon was the first and most successful of the teen idols from Philadelphia. He was born September 18,1940. Frankie Avalon gave American Idol  fans a surprise, performing VENUS tonight. Frankie Avalon looked great, taking the stage for the results show this evening on American Idol. Avalon joined performances tonight from Kellie Pickler and LALATE’s fav Flo Rida.

Avalon got an introduction anchored by looking at what was going on the year Simon was born - 1959, as if anyone cares what was going on anytime in Simon’s life.

Video of Adam Lambert’s performance was shockingly eliminated from an expected rebroadcast today. And for the evening, Scott MacIntyre was eliminated.

GenSan XRM Motor Trail in Malita

GENTUNA XRM MODIFIED

I only had 2 hours sleep - woke up exactly 3:30 a.m. on March 29, 2009 as we need to be gathered at 4 a.m. at Bulaong Headquarters among with the GENSAN TUNA MODIFIED XRM CLUB. We prayed before we left General Santos City heading to Malita for a Motor Trail and of course we had an Elf truck for back up.It was my first time so I was little bit enthusiastic. We took our breakfast at the Cliff Hanger restaurant at 6 a.m. which was sponsored by the GenSan Government.

My friend Kane and I

On our way to Malita we had to pulled over for 10 minutes to take pictures and a little rest. We arrived in Malita Municipal Hall at 10 a.m. Our lunch was sponsored by the Malita Mayor .

Little Baguio

At 1 p.m. the adventure started. We were told to visit The Little Baguio in Malita though it was far and an extremely rough road we really persevered to see the place. Only two kinds of transportation can go there and those are weapon carrier and motorcycle. Along the way at rough spots on the road a few of us fell down with our motorcycles. But that didn't scare us away. Finally, with all the sweat and hardships of going up, we were able to reached the said place. The air was so fresh, weather so cold, water was lucid from the falls.... For me its like a little paradise.. Rest houses are available for those who want to stay overnight.

As we tried to go back, a few of the group fell down but no one was injured, some motorcycle lights got broken .Good thing that there was a transportation weapons carrier which passed by and gave us a lift since our back up couldn't make it going up to the said place. A few of the motorcycles were put onto the Elf truck. God is so good and he is watching us. I felt so safe when I was on that truck..

Transportation in the area

( aside from motorcycle)

On our way home from Malita to General Santos City, we need to pulled over because one motorcycle got a flat tire, then another ran out of gasoline and a lot more happened during that Motor Trail. We arrived in Gensan around 10;30 pm, all of us were so exhausted and had a muscle pain. It was a great experienced for me. We arrvived home safely and no one got injured. If they ever invite me again 100% I will join them.

Have you ever tried Motor Trail?

Everytime I am in a restaurant I always checked the comfort room. It is a plus factor for me if they give effort to make the comfort room nice, clean, with hand washing area and with toilet tissue. Worry no more because Orange Bistro provides a comfy comfort room.

My Natal Day

This is my birthday BLOG since I have so remiss in writing lately! Last March 8, 2009 I was celebrating my 3oth natal day. I thank the Lord for the graces he has given me and how grateful I am to be still breathing. I am very much happy that I reached this number and still looking younger than my real age. As I get older things constantly changing and for me its all about making the best out of it.

My birthday celebration was a unique and very memorable one. I prepared simple dinner ( 6 viand and 2 dessert) and few close cousin and friends were invited it's like 30 guest came. I had few games and prizes for my visitors. Those are - the longest way saying happy birthday (no one was exempted) , hephep-horray, balloon pop were there is a piece of paper for consequence. Everyone was having a great time specially in videoke. The party ended at 2 a.m.

Happy Birthday to all the March babies…and everyone else too!
