Site Updates!
The iRadio has been drastically updated. I’ve deleted ‘Party Tracks’, added “Acoustic” and renamed “Salsa” to include Bossa Nova and R&B-styled Reggaeton. (No, not all reggaeton tracks sound like Gasolina!) You’ll get the idea when you listen to Daddy Yankee’s Coraza Divina. Oh and a bunch of songs have been deleted and a lot more have been uploaded.

To those who are new to this site, my music is centered around Korean music, lightly flavored with English, Spanish, French & Japanese music. Enjoy!


Recommended Animes! Part 1
August 8th, 2007
Categories: Advice, Anime, Youtube

I’ve never really been an anime fan - especially when the anime club in every school look like a congregation of losers without lives. I used to watch a few after school when was in my early teens, for dinner companionship. But I like watching anime now (though I’m not one of them no-life people), thanks to a certain someone, who forced me to watch Blood+.

Animes offer a mature escape from reality - unlike most cartoons. For me, watching TV or movies have always just been an escapade from reality. That means I don’t watch anything unless I’m forced, stressed or emotionally disturbed. This is why I don’t like watching shows with real actors. I prefer them to be as far as reality as possible. As a kid/teen, I’d watch cartoons. But now, at 21, cartoons have lost their appeal. And animes has filled the hole that cartoons cannot.

Nutrition Labels and Weight Loss
March 8th, 2007
Categories: Advice, Daily, Food, Health, Site

You know.. the little white label on all the boxes of foods you get? Yeah those things. So I almost died of a heart attack when I read the nutritional information on the Kimchi Instant Noodles:

Saturated Fat: 43% of Daily Value (DV)

That’s almost as bad as a Whopper! Just that a whopper is infinitely more filling than a pack of flash-fried noodles. (Sorry ladies but it’s less than ONE piece of Godiva truffle)

I’ve been very conscious of nutritional labels since the fateful day when I decided to flip the fast food tray cover around at Burger King. I found out that Iced Tea had twice the amount of sugar than a normal Coke of the same size. Poutine as 150% DV of fat. For all you non-Canadians, Poutine (pronounced as POO-TEEN, and please refrain from saying POO-T’ON, means F***K in French) is gravy-covered french fries. It looks like this:

Anyways, I also found out a 3 piece combo at Popeye’s has almost 1600 calories, that’s more than what a girl around 52kg/120pounds should be eating.

I’ve lost quite a bit of weight after watching these labels carefully. I urge any one who wants to shed some weight to do the same. It’s a lot better than going on crash diets and gaining all the weight back once you stop. Make a life commitment to reading labels. You still get your chips, cookies, sodas and chocolates - but just without the weight gain.

Site Updates: Added a few more songs. Some Canadian and lotsa Korean just coz it’s still my agenda to convert people. :razz:
