Wanders and Wonders

Thanks to those who came to our housewarming party. They brought gifts, too. Giving gifts to the host is typical for Koreans. One of the famous gifts is a roll of tissue paper. They believe that if you are gifted with a roll of tissue paper, your problems can easily be solved just like the tissue paper when you roll it out. Hence, we received these 30 rolls of tissue. It is good for a several months of supply.  Another one is a blender. Though it's not typical, but it is very useful. I've been meaning to buy this one even before but just couldn't get myself to buy one. The last one was a shoe rack. One of of our friends saw that our shoe rack was not enough for our shoes, so she bought another one. Yay!!! Gifts and blessings! We prepared all Korean foods - tofu with kimchi, Pajeon, Makkgeolli, etc. I wasn't able to take a picture of those. I would love to share the Korean foods here. Well, next time in my future posts. In two weeks probably, it would be our turn to give...

To my followers and readers:  I extend my gratitude to everyone who reads my post. And, I'm sorry that I haven't written anything these past few weeks. A lot has happened. I moved in to a new place. Maybe you are familiar with the things you have to do before, during, and after the move in. It's indeed stressful. But my friend told me sometimes we need to change though it may seem very stressful. Change is needed from time to time. Yeah, she has a point. I tried to argue, though, that sometimes some stress are unnecessary, and we don't need to go through it. Well, in the end, I gave in. Moreover, more work needs to be done in the office. Piles of paperwork clamor my attention each day. Again, thank you. I will find time to write. Monthly meeting:  In a week, the peak season kicks in. Japanese and Korean students will start their summer vacation next week. That means that there will be a lot of students coming to the Philippines to study English. Thus, in preparation, we...

I still have the hang over and I can't get enough of Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano. They are perfect together. And, it makes me want to fall in love again. These questions linger in my mind for quite awhile now: What if I bump into my ex-boyfriend? The ex-boyfriend I haven't met for 5 years but kept in touch until last year. The ex-boyfriend whom I thought I would end up with. The ex-boyfriend who told me "I wanna grow old with you." What would my reaction be? Honestly, he wanted to meet me last year when he knew that I am in Manila and am back in the Philippines. Deep inside, I really wanted to to test my emotions whether I still have feelings or not. But I stopped myself from meeting him because he already had a girlfriend. Just a few months ago. Until now, I still wonder what ...

Watched this on 4D  and I have no regrets!!! It's worth it, guys! So, while it is still showing on theaters, do buy a ticket and enjoy!!! I love the cinematography, the special effects, but above all, I love the story. The trust formed between the dinosaurs and man. It's impossible to happen in reality, but at least, in the movie, it became possible. This is a sequel of the Jurassic Park, shown 15 years ago. A theme park who keeps on looking for something to wow the visitors. They said the people want bigger teeth and scarier dinosaurs. Thus, they bred a genetically engineered dinosaur, but this turned out a monster killing all other dinosaurs. It was kept in isolation then when it went out of the cage and went wild. The story resolved on how to kill this dinosaur. In the beginning, Owen, a caretaker of the raptors, trained the raptors to follow orders. These raptors were put together in one cage. According to Owen, these raptors learned social skills and trust. Owen formed tru...

Looking for some adventure near your place? Who knows? One of the stores in your place offers some activities like wall climbing. You need not to go far to experience the suspense and thrill. Check your neighborhood out! If you live in Taguig City Metro Manila or near here, there's one at R.O.X. in Bonifacio High Street. One trial climb costs only 150 pesos. That's really affordable, guys! I've been to this store several times, and every time I passed by the wall climbing area, I watched the climbers as they went up their way. One day I told myself, "I am going to try this one soon." And, yeah, I did it yesterday. I was happy and proud of myself. I've got only a few pics but yeah, here they are: [caption id="attachment_95" align="alignnone" width="225"] on my way up. :) It's my first.[/caption] For the videos, guys, please check out my instagram account:@malou_here. My feelings during the climb:  Honestly,   fear crept in. Al...

Today, the Filipinos celebrate the 117th anniversary of the Philippines Independence Day. Thus, no work, no class today. It's a holiday in the Philippines. To know more about it, please click this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_(Philippines). Some people chose to spend the holiday at National Museum which gives free admission to everyone who wants to visit the place. It's kinda far from my place, hence I didn't go. Besides, I am not very familiar on how to get around the city. Nevertheless, I've spent the holiday well. I had fun, and I really enjoyed a lot. I felt it's indeed a holiday. Around 7 in the morning, I got my Korean book and read one story. I was a bit disheartened while reading the story. It became apparent to me that my Korean skills are declining. I really want to maintain my level, at least. Well, it means I have to make time, to allot an hour or two a week to study Korean. Then, at 10:30 in the morning, my friend  and I headed t...
