Awww, I am equally touched. I'm telling everyone, my current life here is making me go back to the conventional ways of maintaining contact with people. Who says snail mails are dead? This whole technology frenzy is just making the old practice of licking envelopes of much, much value. Emotional value at that. 
I attended a free seminar sponsored by the Korea Foundation Cultural Center, which is the sixth of the seven-lecture series intended for foreigners in Korea. It is designed to provide deeper insights into Korean culture and history. I personally learned about the seminar from a website that I would occasionally visit, whenever I look for something new to do here. The Korea4Expats site has been so informational for me, even giving me updates on possible personal ventures here.
New friends and acquaintances are just one of the many great things that you get when you are in a foreign land. There’s just that extra spike of confidence in you to reach out and mingle, and simply make the most out of the seemingly separate life that you create in that foreign world.
Wahahahahaha. Yes, it has value to me. Fan na fan lang! Haha.
Since I’m becoming so frustrated with the fact that I have not watched any movies since Iron Man was shown in the Philippines, I’m looking forward to what 2009 has in store for the movie theatre freaks around the world. Here is a list that I picked from Times Online’s 50 Most Promising Movies of 2009. Well, most of the movies that took my interest are sequels and book adaptations. If this list can actually work on getting myself a movie seat here, that I still don't know. 
Who says Korea is not much into bright lights and holiday greetings for the Christmas season? Then hug this early banner. I got surprisingly excited when I saw these lighted words on a Friday November night in Myeongdong— a popular fashion district here in Seoul. Hope suddenly crept into me: Yes, Christmas this year may be far from home, but it’s going to be fine. I’ll get by.
I left the office early on a Friday night today (which should actually be a regular habit for me, don’t you think?) and craved for some leisurely walk in Myeong-dong. Myeong-dong as a fashion district, houses top Korean and international brand names alike, so it really won’t be surprising to see foreigners here as well. They really have big, beautiful stores, and international brands like Nike and Zara shout their names in the crowded streets like these:
Okay, I've never been a dog nor any pet fan. I've personally never owned a pet in my entire life, though our house has kept dogs since a cousin brought home one several years ago. That cousin has unfortunately left the world, and so we have his older brother continuing the legacy at home.
It was a Sunday worth lobbying in a place where multi-cultural diversity exists for it again reminded me that I am not that alone— that I can be independent while I rely on other people for that tinge of social excitement to add to my oh-so-what life here in South Korea.
