I stopped obsessing over this song over a month ago, then I wanted to hear it again today, and it has been on loop ever since.
Not only are they hot and cute they’re hot.Did I say that already? Well, let me say it again. They’re hot.
Hyorin (Left) & Bora (Right)
Gray skies. Cold winds. The pitter-patter of the rain on the windows and the smell of the wet street. Makes you want to get a blanket and chill by the windowsill, take out your MP3 player or book while chowing down on some *insert comfort food here*.
Cold and wet days and nights are ahead, and what better way to fulfill the soul and warm the tummy than some rainy-day comfort food. Here are my top comfort go-to food to combat or accent this dreary weather.

Tomato Soup with cottage cheese
(At least I think that’s cottage cheese, oh well, it’ll probably taste good anyway)
Good old fashioned Lugaw/Arroz Caldo (Gruel/Porridge) with
Tokwa at Baboy (Tofu and Pork)
My personal preference, Hot English tea with cookies.
Because I feel more like the Queen of England that way.
Churros with hot chocolate dip
Chili with some cornbread
And to top off my list
Vanilla Ice Cream with some milk wafers…mmm brain freeze

Don’t get all gangsta on my *ss. I like twilight and all but not to that extent. C’mon Kristen? Seriously? Can’t she act less monotonously? Me thinks she can’t, let us wait till the new installment comes out, but let’s not wait for the inevitable.
How did Twilight save my life, you may ask? Two words. Iron and Wine. I guess, three counting the article. Do you recall the prom scene, when Kristen wore that dress ,that was 4 inches below the knee with leggings?
L-E-G-G-I-N-G-S
No? Me neither, but what I do remember was the song that played. It was, for me, by far the sweetest song I would personally love to slow-dance to, any takers?
If you’re into quiet and/or folksy un-mainstream artists/bands , that are actually kind of perfect for this kind of rainy weather we’re (in the Philippines) having lately, I strongly recommend Iron and Wine.
Bring out your translators boys and girls, it’s time for a little foreign lesson. *wink* *wink*
So I just read this article on Yahoo.
Ok fine, I kind of skimmed through it. It's about using your pick-up lines in your “target’s” language.You might be abroad, for business or for pleasure and happen to chance upon that lovely creature at a bar or café. The thing was that one of the lines, when translated to English was a bit, ballsy.
Exhibit A
3.What to say: Voglio passare il resto della mia vitta con te.
Language: Italian
What it means: "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
This is a pretty daring and dangerous pick-up line to use. It’s best paired with a ring hidden in your pockets, preferably a cheap trinket that doesn't really fit. If you don’t have a ring, just tie a straw around her finger.
If done right, it comes across as endearing, cheeky and comedic.
If she’s into you, you both will get talking. If she isn't, at least she’ll most likely let you down gently.
However, do use this line with caution. You may never know when a girl will take you too seriously and start planning the wedding.
Now you might want to say this, when you get to know the other person better, like after a couple of dates, because you might come across as creepy when you use it as a first liner. But I guess, if you can pull it off, why not?
Although there were cute ones;
Exhibit B
4. What to say: Wo de guo jia mei yi ge nv ren xiang ni zheme ke ai
Language: Mandarin Chinese
Translation: "My country doesn’t have girls as cute as you."
Chinese people love it when foreigners try to speak Mandarin. The key word being ‘try’ because no number of classes will help you get the intonation of a native speaker.
The success is two-fold. Firstly, the Chinese are generally very forgiving when you fumble with the language. Secondly, you attempt to speak Mandarin lets you come across as cute and adorable.
Exhibit C
5. What to say: Oye, muchacha loca. ¿Y una lección de baile privada?
Language: Spanish
What it means: “Hey, crazy girl. How about a private dance lesson?”
Spanish is ranked the second most widely spoken language with 329 million native speakers. So on top of appealing to a large pool of women, it acknowledges their culture and capability of great dancing.
This pick-up line puts the woman in the position of the knowledgeable educator. Most women find it appealing when a man would put aside his pride and ask for help. This line puts you in a good light, while giving you a reason to spend time with her.
I wouldn't exactly use “crazy”, maybe instead of that you could put “hot” or “beautiful”.
These lines can be used for guys too, just tweak them a bit, you don’t wanna embarrass yourself and call that hot stud a “girl”.
After reading this, I thought, “Well, what about the Philippine women?; How can a foreigner pick up a Filipina?
After not so much thought (a few seconds to be precise), I had the answer.
To pick up a Filipina girl, use your own language.
It’s not that we don’t appreciate the effort, believe me it’s absolutely adorable, but for me, when a foreigner is confident in his own language and can pick me up using that language and not relying on the mere cuteness of attempting to use OUR language, is very refreshing. Like when a Korean guy, starts saying something in Korean to me, then I ask “what?” then he starts explaining and so we live happily ever after…*ahem*, do you get what I mean?
How to decipher what their native language when you ARE not abroad and THEY are, meaning they’re in your “turf” so to speak, it might take a good ear (eavesdrop) or excellent visual training, to tell them apart from other countries. Imagine speaking Spanish, to an Italian woman, total ridicule but if you can turn it around and switch on the charm, you might just avoid the “Sorrys and Excuse Me's, I thought you were (Insert Random Nationality)”
