안녕하세요!

It means "hello" in Korean.

Why haven't I been posting updates here? Blame it on Twitter. Lol

Actually, I've been swamped with a variety of things, mostly work.

I've been to several trips this year. Hopefully I could write about any of them. I've been to Cebu for work twice in May and in August; then I went to Korea and was lucky to have visited Haeundae beach in Busan in August (I really want to write about this I swear); then Boracay in August also; Hongkong in October. Next week, I'm off to Thailand!

Besides work at the office and the trips, I've also started self-studying the Korean language. It's a shame that Berlitz is the only school that offers it. Fortunately, we (a colleage-friend and I) had convinced one of our expats to teach us regularly. But then, work always comes in the way, so we're stuck.

I could read and write, that's how far I've gone with my Korean lessons. I do understand some phrases, but I still couldn't catch up when expats here converse with each other.

Ok, I'll see you soon blogger. Maybe after I return from Thailand. I'll be going around Pattaya and Bangkok. I couldn't wait to see Wat Pho!

I'm such a scatterbrain now.

It's funny, I haven't even written the second part of my first trip to Korea. Haaah, someday I will. I promise. *So, help me, God.*

Wish I was a bird... Tweet tweet

I feel guilty not updating my blog. But Twitter caught my attention. And now I'm smitten.

Sorry Blogger. I'll try to find time for you.

Echo of a crime

I went to bed rather early last night because I've been lacking on sleep for the past nights. But I was awakened by the noise of what seemed to be multiple gunshots. My heart was pounding and my ears were throbbing. I was almost hyperventilating. Images of the Maguindanao massacre came into my mind. As the election draws nearer, the more frightened I get. I observed for a while, trying to keep calm. I was scared I was going to have a heart attack, I swear. I was trying hard to wake up and evaluate the sounds. I peeped outside the window, and fortunately saw some fireworks. I tried hard to remember the date, but I couldn't figure out what could be so special on January 8. It could be a wedding or a birthday celebration. Whatever it was, I was just thankful. I could only imagine how the people in Maguindanao feel when they hear those kinds of sounds. I could only hope they recover from the trauma.

Makeup giveaway! Yay!
