Happy Thanksgiving to all my Korean friends and former students!

Since it is a long holiday for us working for a Korean company, everybody is so excited to splurge their hard-earned money on this well-deserved 4 days vacation. And I am just as quite excited as they are. I am so looking forward to experiencing a memorable getaway with whoever wants to join me in an adventure tomorrow.

One thing I would like to try this vacation though is dining in a Korean restaurant to feel the spirit of Chuseok. Korean dishes are undoubtedly one of the healthiest and most delicious foods in the world. The foods in the picture are so mouth watering. Hmmm yum yum!

According to wikipedia, Chuseok (Korean: 추석),^[1] originally known as hangawi (한가위, from archaic Korean for "the great middle (of autumn)"), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Like many other harvest festivals, it is held around the Autumn Equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food such as songpyeon and rice wines such as sindoju and dongdongju.

One of the major foods prepared and eaten during the Chuseok holiday is songpyeon (송편),a Korean traditional rice cake which contains stuffing made with healthy ingredients such as sesame seeds, black beans, mung beans, cinnamon, pine nut, walnut, chestnut, jujube, and honey.

I hope everybody enjoys their vacation! Happy thanksgiving day! Happy Chuseok! 

The ET Phone Way!

I am proud to say that most ET Phone teachers have these habits! 

Pare, Mahal Mo Daw Ako!

Wow! I thought the song and its music video were wonderful that I felt excruciating pain after watching it. Masokista! Lol

Hope this song wins the heart of the judges. Please support OPM!

This is me. Take it or leave it!

It's been a while since I last touched and even took a peek of my blog. I suddenly felt the need to go back to writing and put into words these sentiments, happiness, joys and disappointments I have been keeping inside.

Anyway, life hasn't been easy these past few days. Challenges in my love life, career and even my relationship with the people around me have taught me so many things in terms of giving so much love and trust. It dawned on me that the things I value the most are gradually leaving me (without any trace of remorse on my part) and  those that I value less are growing exponentially which sometimes wobble my sane mind, thus making me act a little weird lately. However, these situations are needed to keep me grounded, to make me realize that I am still human who fears God, values friendship and cares about the world around. I may not be the most significant person in my circles, but I make it a point to be heard and to be invincible.

This is me and I care less of what other people say about me! 

My dear mom!

Today, I have proven once again how much my mom loves me. Thank you very much for being the most understanding and loving mom to me. I will never get tired of thanking you for everything. I love and miss you so much! Hope to see you soon. :)
