When i was seven, i thought Cookie Monster was the hottest… with his wide grin, sloppy cookie eating skills and rough and gravelly voice… just the thought of not seeing him is enough to drive me into hysterical crying fits whenever my mom would turn off the TV..

At nine… i thought He-man was the coolest… Oh how i wanted to be She-Ra so that we can defend the universe and Greyskull together…

At eleven… Richard’s cries of ERIKAAAAAAAA pierced my heart whenever Daimos is on TV…

And then i grew up…

As i grow older, i realized that there is more to being a heartthrob than being blue and hairy or buff and athletic or someone who drives a robot very suavely, double missiles shooting from his nipples be damned…

I think whoever coined the word heartthrob is a sheer genius… Heart and Throb… someone who makes your heart go pumpity-pump whenever they’re around…In fact, they make your heart beat so fast that some people even misspell this as hearthrob leaving the other T out along the way…

They say attraction is a matter of taste… what maybe hot or heartthrob material for me may not be the same for all… We notice someone at first because we find them attractive… but then time goes on and you learn more about them which makes them more physically appealing and therefore, keeps you attracted…

In honor and in the spirit of the request of one anon follower, i’m posting the list of my top ten hotties…

The men (whom i loved since they were boys) who had and has the power to turn me into mush from then till now… they drive me crazy, steer me into mad fan girling and they can send me into spazzing…

So feast your eyes ladies… My all time top 10 hotties who make my heart throb faster and they are ranked accordingly…

10. Joe Cheng
Age: 30



I’ve always been a sucker for guys with perfect, straight teeth that’s why Joe was not someone who attracted me right away… There was even a time when i thought he was so effeminate that I somehow felt it was already bordering on gayness but that was until i saw him take on the role of Zhi Shu in It Started with a Kiss…

That sexy smirk on his face, that coldness, that condescending gaze… He couldn’t be more manly… as i watched him in this series i only wanted to do either one of two things… get him madder so that i can marvel at the appeal he emanates when he’s quiet or hug him tightly to thaw that cold personality and warm him…

I agree that he was way sexier and better looking on It Started with a kiss… but the way he eats up Ariel Lin in each of their love scene and kissing scene on They Kiss Again still has the power to send my blood pressure shooting…

09. Daniel Henney
AGE: 33

Oh how to describe a Greek god turned mortal like Daniel Henney… One of the reasons why my name is Kim Sam Soon would remain in my heart as one of my most favorite Kseries no matter what…

The moment that i saw him in the airport scene on episode 5 wearing that white tshirt and those shades still covering his gorgeous eyes, i know i was on to something… and i was not alone… i can understand the fascination… the hoopla that came with his entrance into the K-entertainment industry…Who wouldn’t fall for such hunky gorgeousness… he seemed more like an art form come to life than human…

With his perfectly chiseled nose, defined jawline, good fashion sense and hot, hot body… Daniel is sure to catch any females eyes not just in Korea but all over the world…

Oh and did i mention that playing Phillip in Spring Waltz made me say “Goddamit, you’re a beauty queen, Eun Young!” not out of admiration but maybe out of envy…

8. Jerry Yan
AGE: 36



The one who started it all… the guy who got me hooked with Asian Dramas… When Meteor Garden first came to Philippine shores i really could not understand what the fuss and the hype was all about… not until i saw Jerry Yan looking at Barbie Xu’s home baked cookies as if it’s the most precious thing in the world…

He brought to life the guy that every girls fantasy is made of… Rough and tough yet soft inside… multi billionaire… funny and witty… someone who would nurture you, treasure you, care for you, fight for you and put you on a pedestal as if you’re something fragile.. Jerry Yan played Dao Ming Sz to perfection…

And he is perfect! Just flashing those deep dimples is enough to send me into a frenzy… Leather pants on a guy? Yucky to all but not Jerry… Pineapple haircut? Guys would look stupid with that but not Jerry… Dance moves ala Saturday Night Live? How Cheesy… but not Jerry!

The guy who can do no wrong in my book, the guy who’s gorgeous in 360 degrees without any angles… My hottie who can carry off sleeveless shirts, the weirdest haircuts and skinny pants as if it’s the latest fashion trend in New York’s Fashion Week…

Mr. Perfect himself, Jerry Yan… my Dao Ming Sz is on number 8…

7. Kim Ji Hoon
AGE: 31

This guy is sexiness all wrapped up in one delicious, scrumptious package.

If he were a dish i’d probably lap up every morsel.

Woe to those who’ve only discovered his hotness in Flower Boy Next Door because seriously guys,  even if he first made my heart flutter in Flowers For My Life he successfully made my panties drop in Love, Marriage.

He just had this gentlemanly way of rocking all those suits and there was something so tempting about his heavily pomaded, slicked back hair that when i saw him in a towel rocking those six packs in one of the scenes, i went sorta delirious with lust for awhile.

No matter how cold Ji Hoon is made up to appear in his roles for his previous dramas there is always a warm side to his portrayal that makes me want to be the mother to all of our 16 imaginary children (Yes, i’m talking about you Wish Upon A Star).

But even without that and if all else fails, at least i’d still have the six pack.

Always, there is always the six pack.

6. Lee Minho
AGE: 25

When Lee Minho first appeared on the scene, he took the whole kdrama world by storm and the entire kdrama female watching population off their feet and i was not immune to it.

If a man can rock ajumma permed hair and still look THAT hot, then by all that is holy, give credit where credit is due, HE IS FUCKING HOT.

However,  more than the fact that he makes for some tasty eye candy, Lee Minho has proven not one time too many that he is more than just a pretty face to look at because he not only has gorgeous everything, he also has outstanding talent.

Still, let’s admit it, it was really his drop dead gorgeous good looks that brought him the fame and also the fangirls.

And how could he not?

When every single thing he does looks like a goddamn photoshoot or a centerfold for GQ because he not only emanates charisma, the fact that he is really such a perfectly made man is undeniable.

5. Yamashita Tomohisa
AGE: 27



And just like his namesake.. i found him … my japanese treasure YamaPi…

From the moment i saw him on Proposal Daisakusen i was immediately drawn to his boyish charms… i empathize with his character of a bumbling, cowardly best friend who can’t be true to his real feelings but who got a second chance to redeem himself only to get hurt over and over again…

I was not always someone who get attracted to men who look like boys but Pi-chan was my initial taste of how boys can also be exciting…Sure, i’ve had crushes on others far younger than him but with Pi-pi… it was love!

He turned my world topsy turvy… just the pursing of his lips is enough to get me excited…the place that was heretofore occupied by Binnie for the longest time became his for awhile hence causing guilty feelings when i rave about him but i can’t lie… my heart really says that i love him and i must shout it out!

So once again here i am shouting out for the world to know that “Yes Pi-chan! You’re on my list and i love you!”

4. Piolo Pascual
AGE: 36



” I LOVE YOU PIOLOOOOOOOOOO!!!” and that’s not a borrowed line from his old commercial because really i do… from the bottom of my heart…

The only Filipino actor who has the power to make me go wild when i see him on TV… to curse and spew expletives because i’ve ran out of words to describe how freakin’ gorgeous he is… I can just stare at him and drown myself into those deep, soulful eyes for the rest of my life…

With unparalelled talent and armed with genuine kindness… Who would not want to be Mrs. Piolo Pascual?

My crush who i’m sharing with 2million other Filipinas all over the world (maybe foreigners too)… it is an injustice to have Piolo alone…

His composure under pressure despite the rumors of his sexual preference continuously hounding him… his grace when enemies attack… his humility when people praise him… these are all the things that make me love him more aside from the fact that just seeing him is really short of seeing an apparition in the flesh…

The Philippines answer to Brad Pitt… leading man material… pin up boy… trusted endorser… Adonis personified… that’s Piolo…

3. Bolin Chen
AGE: 29

If i could only drown on those dimples i would.

A very recent find but i can say that he is an all time favorite among the list of my T-drama actors because he toppled my ever favorite Taiwanese gege Joe Cheng off my number 1 spot when he played the ever so perfect, flawless guy you’d want to bring home to momma Li Da Ren in IN TIME WITH YOU.

There’s just something about BOLIN that’s so soulful.

There’s something about the way he stares that seem to pierce way deep down into the recesses of your soul that it can only be described as “come hither”.

He’s dark and broody and mysterious but when he smiles, it lights up his whole face that it leaves me breathless.

It’s that exercise in contrast that made me fall head over heels for him.

This man plays the lovesick, long suffering boy with an unrequited love to perfection and maybe for that reason, i fell for him hook, line and sinker.

2. Hyun Bin
AGE: 30 

My Hyunnie Bunny… Honey Binnie… I’m at a loss for words to describe his perfection…

One thing that i can say is that there was a time when my love for him was almost bordering on obsession… I can spend hours just looking at his pictures… i can write poetry and set music to song just by listening to his voice… he makes everyone and anyone pale in comparison…

He embodied Jin Hyun in Kim Sam Soon… A little immature, a little spoilt and yet willing to bow down and kneel for forgiveness should the situation call for it… The hand grabbing… the arm pulling… no one else can perfect those actions other than Hyun Bin!

Hot even when he’s not trying to be… he simply oozes sex appeal from every pore and emanates sexiness from the screen… he has the perfect smile and he possesses great kissing skills that whenever he smooches Sam Soon… i am puckering my lips in anticipation wishing it was me instead at the receiving end…

He has more pictures in my computer than all of my family and friends combined… my first love… my one true love … when all else fails and everything fades… i know i will always return to him…

1. Kim Hyun Joong
AGE: 26

And surprise, surprise….who else should be at the top of my list but my boy wonder, my pretty boy, my boylet Kim Hyun Joong…

With Joongie, there was no such thing as rising up from the ranks from the bottom of my list… the moment i saw him that was it… i was his… he had me…I have to give him the number one spot since he truly swept me off my feet…

The more i get to know him… the more i get drawn to him… the more i find reasons to love him… he must have been awake when God was giving out everything good… good looks, talent, sense of humor … name it… boylet’s got it… Unlike other idols of his caliber, he does not let fame get to his head… he remains as down to earth as he was before he debuted… his feet planted firmly on the ground… unpretentious… who else would announce that they have diarrhea and admit that they watch porn on National TV? Only Joongie among all idols is brave enough to do that… to be honest and true to who and what he is despite the image that he must project…

He has the power to make me laugh like crazy, to go into a frantic screaming fest whenever he does something sexy (like singing Creep)… to die over and over again because my heart can only take so much… (and his gorgeous face sometimes is simply too much for a mere mortal like me to take)…

Like a giddy schoolgirl on the throes of her first crush… Joongie makes me long for him time and time again… for his boyish good looks, for his witty dialogues, for his grinding and bumping … He has the power to touch my heart, to warm my cold nights with his voice, to lift me up from depression just by watching him being silly…

Sometimes i feel as if i would just pass out from spazzing over him too much but even if it’s come to that i am exhilarated to have loved him… to have fangirled over him and to have adored him and even if it’s been quite some time… the feeling doesn’t get old…

Honestly, I wish this feeling would never end…

Well, there goes everything that’s in my head…

Including my name.

my boyfriend does this cute little thing where he lives across the Pacific Ocean and speaks in a language where I need subtitles

But With swag like this, who needs words?
