Here’s a list of pinoy celebs blogs that I happen to stumble on the net and read from time to time. Reading these for 3 reasons: a) Pampatay oras pag sawa na ko makakita ng numero sa work b) pag walang makita maganda to watch sa http://telebisyon.spreebb.com/ c) wala lang, para maiba naman
Anyway, it is still worth my while since I’ll get a sneak peek in their private lives – in their own words w/c is much, much different from when you get to see them being interviewed on TV.

I got asked all the time why do I chose to work in South Korea..Well, here are my Top 5 reasons to work,live and play in Seoul, here we go:
5. Wired Nation - Korea must be one of the most advanced countries here on earth. More than 80% of its household are wired with high speed internet connections which operate many times the speed of U.S. broadband (kaya here I got speedy download of movies and TV shows – no hassle). An equal percentage of Koreans owns the latest cell phones; people often pass the time watching live, satellite-TV broadcasts on their handsets. For Samsung (the name means – 3 stars in Korean), the country amounts to one vast lab for testing consumer reactions to digital edge technologies. No longer just a hub for copycat technology
4. THE FOUR SEASONS -
Seoul can really be exciting and jam packed, full of things to see as the season change. This also gives me the opportunity to experience the thrill and rush of wearing four season outfits and of course this would mean shopping galore, need I say more? hehehe ^_^
3. KOREAN BARBEQUE, SHABU-SHABU – I always have freshly cooked, hot food for lunch.. Korean barbecue is addicting and delicious: check out galbi (pork rib) and samgyeopsal (barbecue bacon)
2. SIMPLY THE BEST - Four of the world’s top 10 costliest cities for expatriates are in Asia. Seoul ranks in 3rd place (score 122.4), Tokyo in 4th (122.1) and Hong Kong in 5th (119.4) but Oh, but you’ll get paid …ehemm secret…with return airfare and rent-free furnished accommodation …
1. Proximity to Manila - Just 3 1/2 hours away, every now and then I have more chance of going back home like what happened last August after our annual Finance conference.I was able to come home even just for a few days lang that’s the perk of being close. yeah, still no place like home though…
