these Korean girls are actually giggling
Last
Pusan International Film Fest, these girls were shrieking with glee at the sight of
Eric,
Shinwha boyband member.
Recently, the heartthrob figured in a car accident together while shooting a car accident scene for their tv drama
Wolf. His leading lady is badly injured while he himself had spine and back injuries.
These girls appear like they are crying. They may really be crying now.
a couple of years hence
Here I am in my room with my laptop on the background.
Mike is leaving later today for his vacation while
Glenn is probably in Singapore or Malaysia. Like Mike,
Jay did not make it to be a regular employee.
As for my case, I maybe smiling but I am still wanting your prayers.

the 2nd international penguin swimming festival
In my 700+ days in Korea, our city island played host to this annual swimming fest –by people (sorry for my friends expecting the cute animals, watch
March of The Penguins instead)-every winter. I missed this last year because of
Sting’s concert. This time, I missed overtime work to watch the festivities, get my free towel and shirt, and hang out with friends.
You can see more pictures, including the actual swimming (at the highest temperature of 10 degree Celsius), in the
local publication of our island. No need to read Korean to understand what’s going on in the pics anyway. ^^
a couple of years in Korea!
Golden Globe Monday and expiration of our visa also mark our second year anniversary here. This is our photo on our second day of work about two years ago.
From left to right:
Me,
Jay (high school mate),
Mike (housemate, leaving this Saturday for his vacation), and
Glenn (left last Saturday for his vacation).
Please pray for our
visa and contract extension!
Koreans do not simply watch the sunrise
They also pray or at least meditate or think about their aspirations for the New Year.
here comes the new year…and the sun
The traditional Korean way of welcoming the New Year is to watch the first sunrise. While majority of Filipinos are asleep because of the overnight revelries on New Year’s eve, some Koreans may do both the countdown (as some Koreans did in Seoul Tower, see previous entries) and the sun watching or some just wake up early to get a glimpse of the sunrise.
This one was taken from our lovely island.
...hello, 2006!
Seoul Tower, seconds after the countdown and fireworks.
CHEERS TO A NEW YEAR!
goodbye, 2005...
