A BIRTHDAY WISH FOR RAIN
I know its a long shot that Rain will be able to read this posting on his special day, but whether or not he is able to read this, all i want to say is Happy Birthday Rain, just like what you're wishing for when you were blowing that birthday candle during your fan meet in Japan, I wish and pray for your happiness and may you get the birthday wish you've been praying for.
Onite Pictures
THANKS CHINGGUS FOR THE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
I don’t have the right words to say to you peeps, this Sandoo-ya lady is really lucky to find someone who will listen to her. I know I am not making any sense to anybody but Tet and Lai would understand what I am saying. I don’t want to go back to my Sangdoo life ladies, you know that, hope I won’t. Had enough of it and maybe this time am scared that there’s no turning back if that happens.
Hope you won’t get tired of me. Will miss you ladies so much if you do. Tet, a cup of Misto is okay with me, let’s have enjoy a cup one of this days.
GIRLFRIEND FOR THE DAY – A CELEBRANT’S WISH
“Isn’t it if it’s your birthday, you can wish, dream, or request anything, right? So on her special day, she wished to be the girlfriend for the night of you know who. She continued her text saying, no contradictions, no violent reactions, ok. One is allowed to dream anyway, hahahaha.”
Well, I was not able to text her that night coz I went to bed early. Not feeling well for reason so I decided to dose off at 8pm. When I read Lai’s message, I texted her back, I was asking how was the night together with the man of her dreams and of course how does the armpit smell (sorry we have this thing about his armpit), this is her response,
“Aissssssssshhh, was very tired spending the night with him. Tet was right in saying I should drink red bull (a popular energy drink here in the Phils) and the armpit smells like KENZO (a popular signature perfume which really smells heavenly), hahahaha”
I was laughing so hard with her response that I texted her back again, asking her if he’s still there I would want to confirm that his armpit really smell like KENZO. This is her response;
“Sorry sis, he left 12mn because Pau and Cha told her that her right to be the girlfriend for the day expires at 12mn talk about jealous people :-)”
This made me lose control, I told her, am I talking to Lai or Cinderella, I won’t write the other things I ask her but when she texted me this message I went gaga,
“He’s really good, very knowledgeable and she even cheered Dae Han Mingook, hahahahaha. She continued her text with this message, we were watching the replay of the Korea vs Togo and that’s the reason why he knows so many position because he wanted to be a soccer player before and that is the reason why he cheered dae…., hahahaha”
With the way Lai’s text is progressing, I can truly say that her dream is really a very enjoyable one for her. No harm was done; she was just having a good time and the exchange of text were purely fictions, just a product of her overly dreamy mind.
That’s the best thing about dreams, we can be anybody we want to be, be with somebody we would like to be with and be like a bee, just joking.
As I have said a while ago, these are all product of one’s dream, we were just having a good time and for Lai, imagining herself as girlfriend for the night.

Thinking......................
So to start my blog entry, I just want to leave these simple phrases to you:
"The hardest part of missing someone is not the absence of that person.....
its the part when all you can think of are the sweet moments you've shared together
and you ask yourself this question,
"Will i be able to experience the same sweet memories with the same person?"
Good morning to all and catch you later.

JUNE Celebration
1. Aileen June 8
The cake bought by Nimfa was good, chocolate mouse, and it even has the names of the celebrants written on top of the cake. Charity didn’t let anybody slice the cake so that she can take its picture. Noticed anything on the cake, I will let you be the observer this time. After she took the cake’s picture, everybody pigged in (I mean dig in). Paulette and Tet enjoyed taking pictures of the people, wacky, nerd, sexy, cutie poses, you name it, everybody was having a grand time having their pictures taken. We even called Rizza, who is now in Korea, to tell her the things she’s been missing out in the onite.
It was also during our onite that the Rain Special in Channel 2 (Kapamilya Channel) was shown. Everybody was so happy that Rain was being introduced to the Filipino audience. I for one was particularly happy because if Rain will become popular here in the Philippines, I will get the chance to buy his CDs locally instead of having to rely on YesAsia and other Rain Fans abroad to buy me Rain stuff.
Part of the documentary focused on how Rain was able to get to the top. There was one portion on the interview where Rain said he miss being with friends. Now that he is popular, he can’t go out with them to watch movie or eat hamburger. But this was the part of the interview that made me go gaga, the one who dubbed Rain’s voice said Rain can't GO OUT WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND (in our native tongue di na ako makalabas kasama ko girlfriend ko), My first reaction was, huuuhhh, can we back track a little. Did Rain said CAN’T GO OUT WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND, if I remember it right, he never mentioned anything about a girlfriend on the same interview. Well, almost everybody who knew we were rain fans texted us asking us who is Rain’s girlfriend. Some answered it was a wrong translation others answered they are his girlfriend. Well I have nothing against Rain having a girlfriend but never did he confirm he has one anyway.
After the Rain Special, everybody went back to the dinner table and started eating again, talk about pigging in; we are really literally eating like pigs that night (sorry chinggus for the compliment, hahahaha). We watched Jigsaw (shown in Arirang channel) and X-men. It was a riot when we watched X-men. Everybody was laughing their heads off when we were watching x-men. It was a very nice show and imagine us the 12 of us watching it not even minding the time. We all went to sleep 3am and this is for me the fun part, watching each of the sleepy heads snoring their way to dreamland. I was nostalgic before going to dreamland myself, I am truly happy that wee hour of the morning.
When everybody woke up the next day, after breakfast, we watched again different Rain clips but this time we are trying to imitate some of his moves. Before going home pictures were again taken. You can see by the smiles in our faces how happy we were. Just like the last onite, saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do. Back to reality is what said to myself when everybody was saying their goodbye but at least I have memories stored in my heart for me to remember. For me, what really is the best part of this whole event, BEING WITH THE GROUP EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. Taking into consideration the kind of work each of us has, its really not that easy to come up with a date where everybody is free. What can I say, I am really looking forward to our next onite, hope everybody can come. We especially miss Rizza, know what chinggu, I was trying to stop myself from shedding those tears so that you won’t join in, as if you will. We really miss you girl, we know you’re enjoying yourself out there but its different if you’re with friends in a foreign land.
Well, much is said already, till next onite, just look at the pics and I have a link for you to see the other pics taken during this date. Enjoy.

A Friend's Concern
This is a big shot and I know some might even think that we're strange or something but we've got to give it a shot since, we need to relay this message to the person concerned.
A friend of Paulette who is psychic, which according to her never fails in her vibes, felt something is wrong or in plain words felt something weird with the house Rain bought. According to Pau's friend, the house has a tragic past and he never should have even bought it in the first place. If he even enters the house, it will bring him terrible bad luck. She saw several spirits living in and lurking around the house, most of which are women. He will experience all kinds of bad luck and problems because the house is being housed also by evil spirits. She even said that BI should not set foot at this house as it would bring him bad luck if he does. It was suggested that he sells the house or donate it to some charity institution to break any bad spell lurking in the house.
To think that Pau's friend is not even a Rain Fan.
Can anyone help us get this message to him. If Rain has doubts about this, he can get a psychic to check on the house before he moves in. He won't lose anything by doing so. We are just concerned and being Rain Fans, we dont want anything bad to happen to him or for him to experience anything bad. He deserves to be happy and we just felt that we need to get this message to him. For those who would help thanks, but for those who thinks otherwise, just take this message with a grain of salt. We dont mean any harm or do we need anything from Rain, we only want to help.

BI – KYO
I heard this from the grapevine so don’t ask me the source, that some fans are bashing the so-called BI-KYO relationship, if ever there is one. They would rather see RAIN single and unattached to any body so that they can dream of him as being involved with nobody but himself??? or herself, dream on people.
I’m sorry if I offended anybody but I see no reason why the BI-KYO relationship, again if it is true, should be bashed and be a big deal to anyone. Again, sorry if others don’t agree with me but I also believe that being a fan, we also should understand that Rain would also want to be happy. Give the guy a break for heaven sake.
He is human like anybody else. For me Rain is a total performer on stage. He is a different person when he performs, he gives his best so that every money his fans spend just to watch his concert will go home nostalgic of his performance. Rain even said that even if he spit blood while performing he would continue his act. A very tragic motto for me but I for one will say that it’s true. When I watch his last Rainy Day Concert in Bangkok, I know for a fact that he is not feeling well, yet he tried and gave out his best just to prove to his fans that he will never let them down. My heart cried out for him when I heard how hoarse his voice was but I knowing Rain, he will not let his illness be in the way, he will still do his job. That is Rain as a singer, an artist. But after every performance, after every rehearsal, he is still Mr. Jeong Jihun, a man who also needs a hug after a days work and an assurance from a “SPECIAL SOMEONE” that he did great job, someone to cook his dinner for him, someone to give him a massage after a hard day at work, etc, etc, etc. Some would say JYP can give him the praises he wants to hear while Appa Jeong can give him the first one but if you’re honest with yourself and had experienced having a someone special in your life you would agree with me that it’s incomparable.
Again, I don’t see anything wrong, if ever there is any truth in it, though I hope there is, if BI and KYO really are in love with each other and have plans of settling down in the future. Being a fan of Rain, I will still support him even though he is already a married man. Don’t you want to see him carrying his kid one of these days, I for one would love to. I would love to see Rain happy no matter whom he decided to marry.
Rain needs our support as a fan but Rain is also a guy who needs somebody to love him and be happy with. If we really love Rain, we will support him in all his efforts. Rain has a good head on his shoulder so he knows who is right for him. If he gets blinded by love then let the guy be, some of us experienced how it is to be blinded by love and no amount of advise can make us back off of such love, right.
So to Rain and Song, my BI and Nuna, if ever you decide to marry someday, you have my support and I wish you all the happiness and love in this world. Aja Aja Fighting. Be strong the 2 of you, if you really love each. There may be consequences if ever you decide to make your relationship known, just be strong and have faith. Who knows there might be others who would also love to see the two of you settle down. Whatever you decide on, just remember to respect each other’s opinion, no point in arguing or listening to rumors. Trust, Love and Respect each other because that would be the key for a long and lasting relationship.
This is just my opinion and dream for the two people I admire. Thanks.

Unexpected Vistitor - To BI or not to BI is that the question :o)
Really its wishful thinking that the unexpected visitor is . Tet also texted me that she also have a visitor from the same country visiting her blog. Since all our personal blogs have direct links , I was hoping that the same person would visit my blog as well.
The greatest surprise popped out one me when I visited my blog and looked at my sitemeter. Lo what did I see, Pau and Tet's visitor is also my visitor . The person used Tet's blog links to our site to visit my blog then Paulette's blog. Pau's visitor stayed for almost 1hr and 7mins while 30mins on my blog. To be honest, Paulette's blog is more interesting and amusing than mine especially when she does her thesis. (Indirect advertising of Paulette's blog, bandstalker)
I was soooooo curious about this unexpected visitor that I looked at the details of who visited my blog. This is my reaction when I found out the IP address of my visitor . Well anybody can dream right, but if this IP address is really , haaaaaayyyyyyyy, thanks so much (hehehehe). Hope you will come and visit regularly. I will try to update my blog site regularly now so that there is something for you to read not just the regular everyday update.
Still wishing its yup, yup and a million yups, anybody can dream right.
Till next time, an-nyeong ee keseyo.

THE BREAK AWAY Group (THE VOLTES V)
The Voltes V was formed because of an enemy called Boazanian, the giant robot being created by Steve's Father and Mother Dr. & Mrs. Armstrong together with Dr. Smith, (hehehe i am talking about the real Real Voltes V, with Steve Armstrong forming the head). In our case, it was my chinggu Charity (no one else) who gave our team its name. The Team was formed because of a simple Korean Dinner date planned by Tet and me. After the Christmas Party we attended, I met up with Tet again a few days after to get the burned copy of IJUKSA, Rain’s TV Series. We talked and had coffee at Starbucks and we talked about everything. Let’s just say I was practically telling her my life story and how I became a fan of Rain. After that meeting, we are actually going out together regularly as our schedule would permit it. Both of us planned to have dinner in one of the Korean Resto in Makati avenue for a change, so we both agreed on the date.
When I went online to the clubs site, I happen to be asking people from the forum where I can buy the Original Album of Rain’s first CD when Paulette offered to come along with me to buy the CD at My Room, the one beside La Salle. To make the long story short, we both ended up having a dinner date in one of the Resto in Greenbelt (forgot its name, do you remember the name of the resto chinggu) eating Assorted Seafood Paella (very yummy). I mentioned to Paulette that Tet and I planned on eating Korean Food in one of the Korean Resto in Makati Avenue, she ask if she can come along, I invited Paulette and mentioned it to Tet the next day. When we met up that Friday, November 25, 2005, turned out Tet also invited Aileen and Charity. Paulette said Rizza would like to come but because of some business she opted to join the gig on our next dinner if we will have another one in the future. We had a ball that night because of Charity, she is making us all laugh so hard that we decided to meet up again. One Friday a month became 2 Fridays a month until such time that we ended up seeing each other almost every week. We bacme regular customer at The Korean Resto and the owner became our friend. Starbucks became the coffee hangout of the group. It was during our regular meet that Charity named the group Voltes V because there are 5 of us in the group. When Rizza started joining the Friday gigs, she was tagged as the laser sword of the group (mind you not Rain as what others thought).
We have a good time together, to think the only common interest we had then was RAIN, a Korean Guy who became so popular that we all decided to join the Rain Philippine Club. When Rizza decided to make a banner for all of us, she used Rain as the sword handler. So many were intrigued by the banner that other who learned how our group was formed, decided to join in. Right now, there are also other Rain fans from abroad who would want to join us. Paulette always blog our regular night outs together with pictures so much so that others picture us as having so much good time together. Mind you we all have different views sometimes but because there is respect among all of us and we value what others are trying to say, that we gained each others trust and friendship. We all love to hangout to the wee hours in the morning, and we talk about n othing in particular. We sometimes talk about Rain (we never forget to mention him in our regular get togethers) but most of the time its just plain and simple nothing at all. Other will find it borin but we don’t and we enjoy what we do.
Right now, we even have overnite gigs if ther is somebody celebrating their birthday. I was the first one to experience this and I had a blast celebrating my birthday with the group Did we added people in our team, that is for us to know and for the rest of you to find out. We had a grand time, all of us, my chinggus are worth spending time with. We talk about anything under the sun without us not worrying about anything. We consider each others not just friends but an extension of our family, we love each other and for me my simple prayer and wish is that we all stay together as friends even though there be problems along the way.
PIECE OF ADVICE FROM A BELIEVER
The Road to Success (different from the Road to Rain) is not straight,
there is a curve line called Failure,
a loop called Confusion,
speed bumps called Friends,
red lights called Enemies,
caution lights called Family.
there are flats called Jobs,
But, if we have a spare called Determination,
An engine called Perseverance,
An insurance called Faith,
A driver maed JESUS,
We will make it a place called SUCCEESS,
GOD BLESS
YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO (Testing One’s Patience)
I heard through a grapevine that somebody I met and helped out is practically educating her other friends to follow her lead, DECEIVING other people to get what they want and after exhausting you of your hard earned they go on their way to look for another victim.
I never met such a vile person in my entire life. I never dreamed that such person exist. No wonder nobody wants to help her out during our trip. Know your place missy, no one will help you out there except fellow Filipinos, nobody would care if sleep in the street in a foreign land but people of your own race will not tolerate it especially if you’re still young. If you are lucky to find someone who will follow your lead and I think I also found another one of your kind, you can also do such deed once or twice, after that its adios and hasta luego to you people. I may gullible but I am not STUPID. I can be a friend for life but I can also be your worst enemy. What you see is what you get from me.
Testing one’s patience is one thing but deceiving others to get what you want is another thing. Survival to the fittest is the name of the game in this cruel world but know the person or people you’re dealing with. Innocent people/person like me don’t deserve such vile actions. KNOW WHAT KARMA IS, what comes around goes around.
Friends are meant to be treasured not used, friends are there to help you so don’t go around deceiving and using them to your own benefit, friends are sometimes the best person to approach because they will not judge you, they will help you the best way they can, friends are there to support you so don’t go around using them to get what you want and then leave them when you have no use for them, friends will cry with you when you cry and laugh with you not at you when you need moral boost.
So again, know your place. You may be lucky this time with what you’re doing but the One up there will know when to stop you.
Invitation to Post
I get all sorts of update from emails, e-news subscriptions and to other Rain Site Forums. If I am not too busy updating my blog (of course my blog comes first), I also share the news/ clips sometimes pictures I get to share the news I get to other Rain Fans. Some welcome my post but others delete said postings only for me to find out days later that the same news/clips is posted by somebosy else (AISHHHHHHHHHH). They say I am spamming, who’s spamming, you also get this news from the net, right.
I stopped posting after that and concentrated on updating my blog and updating other Rain Sites. I get different request from different Rain Fans and to be honest even though I spend so much on internet access (don’t have internet access at home), I don’t care, I enjoy what I do. I feel appreciated by the request I get and in some ways my contribution to other Rain Fans are also being given its due notice. I get all kinds of request not just locally but also from other countries. I get request like posting news pictures, update on the latest news about Rain, some even have my personal email add just to email their request. I feel happy giving in to the request of other fans and the efforts I put in to share news update about this Korean Guy who touched my heart so much is all well worth it. My chinggus know how Rain changed my life and I am not a bit sorry for the time I spend doing this work for him. Its all worth the energy spent.
The very first Rain Fan Site I joined was JeongJihun. When I joined the forum, the site became my first dose of knowing who Rain is. The site became my first source of information about Rain. Raina, the site moderator is very accommodating, she answers all my question about Rain.
When I was given the go signal by Raina to post news clips and pictures at her site, I was happy because I know so many Rain Fans are visiting her site. Well let’s just say I was in Cloud 9 when I received this news from Raina. I am very thankful for the invitation and as I told Raina I will share news that I get about Rain. Hope the site will stay as long as there are Rain Fans out there. Others may think this is a no bigee but for me, it meant something.
A Note to Raina, please don’t close the JeongJihun site. If you need help, the Voltes Team can help and assist you. Just tell us what to do.
LO and Behold as Steve Armstrong would have said to Lost V-Team
Making this story short, would you believe that it was this statue of Steve Armstrong from Voltes V was the one that showed us where Starbucks is. We were already giving up in finding where our favorite hangout is (usually its Starbucks Rockwell) that we decided to look at the last exit of ABS-CBN (actually we were all Kapuso not Kapamilya so you would know why we are not well versed in the area). We all screamed our hearts out when LO and behold who did we see, our favorite Voltes character, Steve Armstrong pointing the exact location where Starbucks entrance is. Call it pure luck, call it destiny I don’t know how to call it either, but our group is blessed. I won’t dwell on it further but each of us in the group will say that we found each other at the right place and time. We enjoy each others company and I just hope we remain friends forever. So many are asking how to be part of the team, all my answer to this people, just be yourself. We don’t ask for anything just simple and straightforward loyalty and for you to know the meaning of FRIENDSHIP. Love you Chinggus, get ready to be revealed.
A Visit to the Hospital
These are the highlights of that visit:
1. Pau informed us through text message that the operation was cancelled that day because of some technicalities. Appa’s operation was re-scheduled Thursday but still decided to push through with the visit.
2. We arrived the hospital past 8:30pm because of the traffic and lo who did we see coming out of her car, Charity. She was within the vicinity so she decided to pay Pau’s father a visit also.
3. We went in the hospital and even ask the security guard where the elevator was. While looking for the Pau’s father room, Pau’s mom on the other hand is already worried that we might not be able to visit since it’s w3ay past visiting hours. When we showed up, eomma was asking us how we were able to get in. Turned out that visiting time is only until 8pm.
4. At the balcony of the hospital, the four of us were just having a good time talking about our favorite subject BI (Rain). We were exchanging jokes and updating Pau on the latest about Rain and also missing Rizza a lot.
5. It was around 10pm when we decided to have dinner. We have to take the stairs because elevator service of the said hospital is until 10pm as well. While we were on our way out, Pau reminded us not to forget our ID. The 3 of us were looking at each other and decided to tell Pau that we did not leave any ID. Turned out that all visitors should leave an ID if they have to visit any patient at the said hospital. Conclusion, since we were all wearing casual attire that night, the guard mistook us for Doctors.
6. We had dinner and Kamay Kainan and we even watched Jewel in the Palace. While ordering and since it is late, some of the dishes we like to order are already gone. Back to Jewel in the Palace, turned out the episode shown is once of Pau’s favorite, hehehe.
7. On our way back to hospital, we all decided to eject (hehehe, love you chinggu) Pau at the hospital. We don’t want to try our luck anymore and besides I have to go to work (I work graveyard, 1am to 10am, nice shift right).
After Cha dropped us off in our designated places, instead of me being tired or wasted, mind you I am not getting enough sleep at home because its way too hot to sleep in the middle of the morning here in the Philippines , but I still feel good inside. I enjoy our little trips and being with the Voltes Team is enough for me to feel elated all the times. I love my chinggus and I hope we remain friends forever.
