Seoul night scape series: the reborn riverstream


This is Cheonggyecheon Stream, formerly covered by an overpass, it is now bustling with tourists and establishments along its stretch. A great feat of engineering and restoring nature.

season's greetings from Seoul!


For starters, Seoul is the capital city of Korea. That is where I celebrated Christmas because I have dreamed of a white Christmas, hehe.

Pictured here is Dongdaemun...one of the more famous gates of the city. Christmas or not, this gate is lighted all the same.

Will probably be posting more pics soon from my Seoul trip...maybe New Year's pictures nex time! Posted by Picasa

i say a little prayer


1. for last year's tsunami victims and the people they left behind and all people affected by other disasters be it caused by nature or men

2. the completion of my part of the project before Seolnal (Korean New Year) holidays next year Posted by Picasa

thank you for the music


This is how I would look like most of the times, wired with my music player. My taste is as eclectic as I could be: jazz in the office, OST at home, looking for John Mayer Trio's live blues CD, and will basically listen to whatever have you.

Thank you Tey for the picture Posted by Picasa

Sae Hae Bok Mani Baduseyo!


No, that is not greeting you a jolly Christmas. Sae is new. Hae is year. Bok is blessings. Mani means many (in Filipino it means peanut or the female sex organ or easy) and baduseyo is to receive.

Kureso, May you receive many blesssings this new year! Posted by Picasa

good tidings i bring...


This Samsung digital camera is my Christmas present for my lovely sister in this season of love.

Originally a Thanksgiving gift from my company (plus the toiletries), I am now sending it to the Philippines so they can send me pictures from home during Christmas day itself.

Props to Carlo for carrying the cam in his luggage! Posted by Picasa

Christmas angels!


These cute kids are part of the Christmas party our company presented for our clients. Last night I got my invite in the post box for the company year-end party; as if seeing the poster inside our building or sending email is not enough! Also last night, one of our cute angel in the Philippines had her birthday celebration. Though today is her real birth anniversary.

Do you hear what I hear Tin Tin? Happy birthday to you! Give me some killer cute pose when your dica (Korean word for digital camera) arrives, okei? Posted by Picasa

But the best item I purchased as a self gift will be coming this week (I think)... Posted by Picasa
