whats famous and well-known things in korea and Philippines part 2

Fast food -

Lotteria is the one famous in korea. Actually mcdonald is the one famous over the world but unusually In Korea, Lotteria is more famous than Mcdo like the philippines. (Jollibee be is more famous than Mcdo) If you go to Korea, You have to taste the Dery burger. The sauce in burger is so yummy and unique. and that's one of my favorite burger in Korea. The price is not a expensive compared with K.F.C and Mcdo in Korea.1set of Value meal burger is 140p upto 160p.

 

 

In the philippines. The symbol of fast food is Jolliebee. As i got the Philippines at the first time, i was really curios about the taste of new fast food in the Philippines. and Yum with T.L.C and champ Burger are so deliciou. The price is alomost same as korea. But one thing i got a surprised here. You can oder 1pic chicken with rice. i was not a familar with it. cHICKEN with rice??? In korea, They used to have a chicken with only beer or coke. not rice. That's not meal. It was culture shock - BUt now whenever i go to jollibee i order 2pic chicken with 2 rice and marami gravy sauce!

 

 

 

Fashion Trend -

 

 

I  was studying universiTy in Korea, taking up fashion designing and slso in tHE phIlippines. So i can easily compare the both countries trend and style.

 

iN korea, There are 4seasons, People can dress up 4kind of style dress in a year. That's why they always want to change their style and show something different with others. Moreover tru the internet shopping mall. FAST GARMENT is one of the big trend in korea. even sometimes 1 high quality designed new T-shirt is only 20p saled. And the people spend alot of money to make them handsome and pretty. tHAT'S THE kOREA.

 

In THE PHILIPPines. tHERE IS ONLY 1 SEASON. iT A SUMMER. Some people says there is a winter in the philippines but even the winter It's still hot for me. sO as i got in the philippines first i really eager to dress up well did my best. but as time goes by the hot weather made me to dress up simple. EVEN HAIR STYLE WAS GETTING SHORt. Tell the true, korean is more fashionable than filipino/na. bUT the reason is from the weather. FIlipna has their own beauty, bIG eyes, good in shape, and smooth -soft skin. The studying about fashion in the philippines is harder than korea. becase of weather. It needed more creative idea and mind to design for summer dress all time forever.

whats famous and well-known things in korea and Philippines part 1

In my life, 66% of my life i live in korea and the rest of persentage i live in the philippines. so now wonder what products in both country symbolize in the country. All of the products or things are from my own perspective.

LIQuor -

 KOREA

 

THIS IS CALLED SOJU, kinda strong liquor. IF YOur are stay in korea at least 1week, i am sure you must try this one. tHIS LIquor is symbolized korean people's life. THIS ONE IS cheap and strong so It's good to be drunk easily and have a fun with friend. IN kOREA ITS 40p, iN tHE pHILIPPINES IT'S 80P UPTO 100P.

 

 

 tHE PHILippines

 

This is call san Miguel light. in My case i waslys drink this one. As all of people know the liquor in the philippines is very famous all around the world. and the taste is really soft and deep beer's taste.

But i think some PhiliPpines people love to drink Red Horse thank san miguel light. because IT'S TOO SOFT FOR THEM. it's the Same way why korean love to drink soju. Anyway SML is the best beer in the philippines in my opinion.

 

 

Food -

 

 KOREA

 

No need explain about it anymore. Now Kim-Chi is well-known and famous over the world. and Some people call me "Hey Kim-chi man" Sometimes It feels bad to call me like that, but usually i am proud of myself that is called by "Kim-Chi man" It means they know what is our country's best food. If you have't tried it yet. You must try it with rice and some other Korean side dishes. You will love it. Smells and taste could be not good first but I am sure you will be addicted it!

 

 

The Philippines

 

PORk Sinignag MAybe the taste would be the same that with foregner try to have a kim-chi first time. when i taste it first. it was just sour. i JUST PICK THE PORK for dinner with rice. And i couldn't understand why they like this taste. but it's really addicted in. THE besT WAY TO HAVE A pork sinigang is mixed rice with soup. and additionally put some soy sauce. If you are in tHe philippines right now. Go out and order it.

 

BEST place to shopping -

 

 

IN kOREA, ALOT of people just order their thing throug online shopping mall.It's easy to order and get it even payment.iT'S CHEAP AND Withou look around outside you can see all products easily.

bUT SOME PROBLEMs ARE sometimes it should be exchange or refund because the products are different with the pictures or what i expected.

 

 

I am always excited to go to Divisoria 168 mall to look around something and all of products are really cheap even you bring 1000p you can buy what you want. mOSTLY thoes products are from china. the mall is wide and cleans moreover cooooool. even i have been there lots of time still don't memorize the map of way in side. And unlike the online shopping mall you can ask some discount by negotiation. How fun! yOU can buy anything what you want from inside mall. oNLY ONE PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE TO take a rest after shopping as you get home. It's crowed with people and need to walk alot.

 

 

It's too many to compare everything kOREA vs The philippines. I can't say which one is good or better. because they have their own good point and bad point. But i can say easily THIs " I love both!"

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes Hard to find fabrics what i want in the Philippines.

Actually i expected someday i can buy a fabric tru online shopping mall in the philippines. but It's still hard to find and buy fabrics tru online. So It gave me alot of stress that go to buy in person and i have to spend half of my day in looking around fabrics. If i found fabric what i want, there is no problem but usually i bought plan B or second choices fabrics.

I always comprared with korean system. Korean is the one of best powerful industry in internet infratructure. so even in my house i can look around all of kind of fabrics and order it.

HOw easy. ofcourse about fabrics the important thing is quality of material and need to toch to feel.

but We can see the quality of material by high skilled pictures also.

During the time don't know how to eager to buy some fabics from korea. The problem is only it take long time to get and it would be kinda expensive with delivery fare.

Below are i want to order from korea because it was hard to find in the philippines moreover the price is so cheap.

Wher to buy fabrics in the Philippines

As a fashion Student, I tried to find good designed and high quality fabrics around Manila.

The first time I didn' have any infromation about where i have to buy and where i can find good fabrics in the philippines.

So for 2years in my shcool, I used to go to glorietta 5 to buy fabrics.

Cotton Depot (3/F Glorietta 5, Festival Mall and Mall Of Asia) – Cotton Depot carries a wide range of cotton, from broadcloth to muslin to local and Japanese cotton. The price ranges from 60 Php/yard for the ordinary cotton to 220/yard for Japanese cotton. They have twill, Cavali twill (220/yard), corduroy, eyelet cotton, crepe (120/yard), jacquard (120/yard), flannel (120/yard), chiffon (100/yard) and several types of denim at 150/yard. Pique (130/yard), bubble tea satin (180/yard), super merino (750/yard), printed muslin (230/yard), cotton silk (100/yard) are also available. They also have canvas that works well for grocery bags and the like (I bought some at 120 per yard) and interfacing ranging from 25 pesos/yard for the lightweight interfacing to 45 pesos/yard for the heavy interfacing. They don’t have fusible interfacing.  Contact numbers: SM MOA Branch- 8040245, Glorietta 5 Branch- 8367410. Or you can visit their website here.

 Cotton Depot

Fanbi (Greenbelt 1, 1st Floor) – Fanbi is quite expensive compared to all the other fabric stores I’ve visited. They have a lot of plain and printed jersey knits (around 250-320 Php per yard), plain, striped and checkered cotton shirtings for office wear (300 Php/yard), suiting fabric, modal, spandex, cotton voile, silk, georgette, and cute printed Japanese cotton at 280/yard. Not the best value in terms of price per yard.

 Fanbi

Fabric Warehouse (3/F Glorietta 5, Greenhills, Libis, North EDSA, Megamall, SM Southmall) – Fabric warehouse has most types of fabric, they have plain and printed cotton, rayon knits, jersey (160 per yard), georgette, chiffon, embroidered cotton, etc. Maybe you can tell that I have been amassing a huge stash that I don’t know what to do with…yet. Hehe. Their contact numbers are as follows: Greenhills (02) 584-8247 or 721-6608, Makati (02) 846-5403 or 728-030, Libis (02) 655-4019, North EDSA (02) 927-4124, Megamall (02) 470-1971, and SM Southmall (02) 805-2481



And as many as my projects and assignement are getting increased, I realized that i spent lots of money for fabric and accessories with transfortatino fee(250p) whenever i go to buy.

So I tried to buy fabrics in Divisoria with jeepney (one way 12p) from VitocRUZ lrt TO Divisoria.   Firt time as i got there with one my classmate who is Filipino,

It felt like maze. I just followed my friend with looking around. It was amazing that when i check the price fabrics. Usually the price of fabrics are 20p upto 80p per yard. Of course the quality ofabrics are worse thatn Glorietta. But the benefit in Divisoria is all of the fabrics are cheap and alot of kind fabrics you can pick easily.

If you are still student, I REALLY RECOMMEND YOU TO LOOK AroUND Divisoria TO FIND cheap and various pattern designed fabrics.

Moreover when you have a extra time you can visit at 168 mall look around cheap dress and all products there with airconditional system. ACtually my favorite mall in the philippines.

But YOU have to remember that place is pretty ^^* dangerous for forigner and so hot! you need to take a rest as you get home! I still , I WILL LOVE DIVISORIA!

Try it!

One thing mORE if you are looking for a nice dress You try here. It's my favorite online shop in the philippines ^^* www.epungirl.com or www.facebook.com/byepungirl 



THEY are my favorite celebrities in Korea and the PhiliPpines

Which one is better for you?

The reason I love them are they have both attractions of cute and sexy in one.

   1. Song, Ji Hyo In Korea

Song Ji-hyo (born Cheon Seong-im, August 15, 1981) is a South Korean TV and film actress. She is well known for her portrayal of ballerina Min Hyo Rin in Princess Hours, Lady Ye So-ya in MBC Jumong and as the Queen in A Frozen Flower. Currently, she appears on TV frequently as a member of Runnin Man, a popular Korean variety show. 

   2. Ara Marie Chistine Reyes in the philippines

Ara Marie Cristine Reyes (born on February 5, 1989 in Marikina City, Metro Manila, Philippines), better known asCristine Reyes, is a Filipina actress. She became a contestant of GMA-7's reality TV program, StarStruck. She is managed by Viva Artists Agency and a contract artist of ABS-CBN. Reyes has since taken part in different ABS-CBN shows, including Kahit Isang Saglit and the eponymous title role in Eva Fonda.

In my opinions, Each of  Them, their own attractive part and charm. but the DIFFERENT THING is they have a own style of make up and hair. I can't say that which one is close trend of these days and which one is better. 

THE thing i can say easily is thEY are so awesome pretty!

Moreover I really love the girl who has two face - cute and sexy -
