Snowy Sunday

Snowy Sunday!

23 January 2011

Yesterday, we went to have some sledding! and I just posted in my blog that I did not really want and love Winter because it is too cold. As ironic as it is, I am playing with the snow today. 

Well, let us just say, when there is snow falling, it is good! but when the snow is melting and there is wind, it is not favorable already. When the snow started melting, it is veryyyyy slipppppery! When the wind blows, as if it can carry you away, it hurts our skin too... 

Whew.. Anyway, here it goes, our photoshoot session, despite the coldness!

As temporary as it can be, playing with the snow somehow gives you a temporary feeling of freedom and feeling of being a child again! It feels like a big burden was removed from you temporarily. or probably just because of the not so positive happening and challenges that we have been facing that is why a big burden has been temporarily taken away!!!

I do hope that this feeling can be a little longer than what it is now..

New Year 2011 - 새해 복 많이 받으세요! - 新年快乐！

31 December 2010

If it was my first time to spend Christmas away from home so automatically, this is my first new year spent away from home as well. Generally, the ambiance of Christmas and New Year here in Korea is a lot less than what we have back in the Philippines. Christmas and New Year are just normal regular days they are spending here. We, Filipinos in CUK, gathered together for our own celebration. Thanks to some good souls in managing to cook for everyone! :)

Year 2010 was definitely an extraordinary year for me. A lot of major big decisions were made; thus, adjustments, challenges, etc. Decisions were not generally 100% nice. Some were actually a wrong decision but with these wrong decisions, I was able to meet many more people from diverse culture, background and experiences which allowed me to open my eyes more to the real world i.e. on how user-friendly or senseless, illogical people can be...

Been 10 months since I came to Korea. I have learned some of its language, been involved with a lot of the activities including the most significant event in the world - G20, World Cup, but have I really learned something for which is my purpose of my presence here in Korea?

열달 동안 한국에 있으면 좋고 슬프고 경험을 모두 있었는데 친구는 많이 알고 인생 잊어없는 경험을 많이 받았어요. 한국에 와서 좋은 선택을 아니고 근데 깨닫이 도 많이 생각했어요.

새해 복 많이 받으세요!

Happy New Year!
