Entry-Form

Lately, I’ve been hooked to watching Korean dramas, for it has been my only way to escape from reality because sleeping is not enough anymore. Before, I am into romantic-comedy genre, but since a colleague recommended suspense/action/thriller ones, I can say that I like it more.

I am sharing the three latest Korean dramas I’ve watched, hoping you’ll like them too. I actually didn’t read the plots of these before watching it to add more “suspense” and not have any idea how the story goes and just surprise myself with every scene. But I decided to include the plots here, to save yourself some time from searching it on Google.

God’s Gift: 14 days

Kim Soo-hyun is a mother whose young daughter Han Saet-byul gets kidnapped and murdered. Discovering a miraculous ability to go back in time exactly two weeks before the event, Soo-hyun is determined to expose the kidnapping plot and save her daughter before she dies all over again. Helping her is Ki Dong-chan, a former cop turned private investigator out to prove the innocence of his mentally challenged brother, who is falsely accused of murdering Dong-chan’s ex-girlfriend. As Soo-hyun and Dong-chan race against the clock in the allotted 14 days, new light is shed on the crimes, and they uncover secrets far more treacherous than Soo-hyun could have ever imagined.

— Wikipedia

This has a little bit of fantasy, which is the main twist of the drama. But there are more than that! While watching it, you’ll get confused and keep guessing who the killer is. I’m not gonna give any clues not even a hint on how I felt with the ending. But seriously, I still had questions left unanswered after it ended.

I am very proud to say that I belong to a clan where most of my ancestors became hero of our country and part of a historic event, which is the World War II. Since I love history, I decided to compile some of the old photos and treasure it for the benefit of the next generations. Fortunately, there’s Southtree shop that is specialized to restore old photos and videos to a high quality one. I can show these to the next generations and let them know of these heroes that made not only history but what our world has become right now.

Sponsor: Epiphanie Bags

Epiphanie was started four years ago by professional photographer Maile (pronounced Mylie) Wilson. At the time, there were no cute camera bags for women. She hated lugging around a separate, bulky man-bag. So she’d end up leaving her camera at home or shoving it into her purse wrapped up in whatever was nearby; a towel, sock, sweatshirt.

Obviously that isn’t the best way to protect expensive gear. When she realized that stylish camera bags for women didn’t exist, she decided to create her own line. And it was obvious that she wasn’t alone in a need for them. When Epiphanie launched in 2009, there were already almost 10,000 people on the waiting list, with all kinds of funny stories about the different things they used to wrap up their cameras: diapers, pot holders, even maxi pads! Four years later, the collection has expanded from three to twelve styles and over 60 different bags that accommodate cameras, laptops and even backpacks for men.

Prize: Winners Choice of Epiphanie Bag from Available Stock

What’s good with Swish is that they come in different flavors and my most favorite would be no other than Mangosteen Mint. Minty meets fruity in this sparkling blend of mint and Mangosteen. This is much more fruity than the others and I just like it that way. The unique mint taste gives my mouth a refreshingly cool mint flavor.

Swish Mouthwash is an alcohol free mouthwash that keeps kill brad breath causing bacteria plaque build-up, gum disease and tooth decay. Because I am wearing braces, I don’t think that a simple toothbrush can do its job to clean my teeth under and over the wires. Good thing, Swish is with me to do a complete clean! And for a best result, a make sure that I gargle 20mL twice a day for 30 seconds. That wouldn’t even take much of my time!

If you would ask me if there’s something I would like t try other than this, I’d say, of course, yes! And that is Swish breath Spray that gives an instant fresh breath in just 10 seconds. That is more awesome, right?

Swish has 2 formats namely: mouthwash and breath spray to keep your breath fresh anytime and anywhere. Powered by SureFresh Technology, Swish doesn’t just cover up bad breath because it kills bad bacteria, prevents plaque and gingivitis for long-lasting fresh breath.

A Gift from Lazada

Since I started working, I’ve never had the chance to go to the mall to purchase my personal needs. My weekends would be spent resting at home rather than giving myself more stress going out to do shopping. Good thing, online shops have been everywhere, I need not to worry about shopping!

I consider Lazada as an online shopping mall that makes shopping effortless and risk-free. I’ve tried it myself and I had experienced no hassle at all! I just had to browse the shop for the item I need, do a few clicks and need to wait for my order to arrive. And oh, Lazada even improved their website for your better shopping experience!

Since I just celebrated my birthday last week, Lazada is more than generous to give not only me, but you, readers, as well, a birthday gift! You can have a Php 300 off discount for a minimum purchase of Php 2000. You simply need to add the voucher code LZD-87b11z on your cart.
