Protect The Boss: Final Thoughts

Published by Justine

Officially done with Protect The Boss (??? ???). I feel like I should do a thought-entry about it since it’s one of the most refreshing K-dramas I’ve seen that had every element a sane viewer would want. First thing’s first of course, I will address the ever-famous Jaejoong: This is the very first Jaejoong thing I’ve seen. I’ve never really followed DBSK at all, and I’ve always been known as a Jeje-hater because I NEVER UNDERSTOOD the guy’s appeal and why so many millions of girls would die in his arms.. but now I understand. His acting wasn’t great, but it was good enough to make you want to love his character. I felt like he was more comfortable acting with Ji Sung than the ladies. You could see him let go of his doubts when he was with the men rather than the women (of course that included his mom in the drama). The voice, how can you have that look and have that singing voice? Definitely one of the many physicall gifted, talented, …

Paris Mon Ami

Published by Justine

Indonesian fashion blogger and one of my close friends, Caroline Robianto, invited me to a fashion event by Hermés called Paris Mon Ami to launch their new scarf line in Indonesia. I’m not usually a fashion person (although my bff says otherwise), I mean most of the time I prefer comfort over style but I never not care about how I look and always try too look my best even in just shorts and flip flops. So when she told me she was going to invite me, I admit I was sort of freaking out. I wasn’t in the league of fashionable people!!! WHAT TO WEAR HOW TO ACT.

Pink for October

Published by Justine

It’s officially one week into October and it makes me stop and think, “Where the fuck did time go?” 2011 has been more often a great year than not, and I’m immensely thankful for that. One of the things I am always thankful for up to now, is that my mom is still and continues to be happy and healthy. She has been a breast cancer survivor for 3 years now and there’s not a single day in which I am not thankful about her current health. When I saw this OctoPink theme while browsing the web I thought it looked really nice and appropriate for the blog. Pink happens to be the representing color for Breast Cancer Awareness so I decided to change to this theme for a whole month. I’ve always been neutral with the color pink, sometimes I love it sometimes I don’t but there’s always something about pink which catches your attention. Just a few months ago my aunt who lives in New York (and also a breast cancer survivor) gave …

RIP Steve Jobs

Published by Justine

RIP Uncle Steve. You truly are, one of the greatest of our time. You’re going to be one hard act to follow.. but you paved the way for so many enthusiasts who don’t only aspire to create like you but have your integrity and perseverance. You will be missed.

Last Friday Night

Published by Justine

It’s another Monday and another start to the week. Not to mention it’s officially October.. we can finally stop rolling our eyes to statuses like “Wake me up when September ends.” I love sleeping, but I’m sure sleeping for a whole month isn’t the best idea. Last Friday I went out with old Uni friends I hadn’t seen in a while. We basically went our own ways after graduating; a friend went to China to study Mandarin for a year (he said it was like a year-long vacation, envious!), another got married not too long ago, one started his own online gaming business while still working, some maintaining family businesses and the rest being part of the working class. Just less than 2 years ago we were still sitting in class trying to figure out what to do with our lives and here we are, all employed. Quite surreal. We went out for dinner then went clubbing (which was packed, packed, packed so I didn’t take any photos). Even as we went out the Security …
