buddy and seoul

“Gurl!! Let’s go to Korea!”

The message when I woke up one fine Saturday morning (without work). Wow, my sister must’ve been really bored and was ready to perk me up.

Since I am one of the devoted fans of Korean dramas, it is with utmost pleasure to be able to visit Korea. It’s one in my bucket list, really. My sister is also an avid fan but with ulterior motive, I’m sure she’ll be into cosmetics shopping in Seoul.

I remembered when PRINCESS HOURS came out. My whole family (dad, mom, sis and me) got really hooked with it. Because the local TV is showing the series in bits, with the air time of commercials longer than the series itself, we raided Uyanguren and found the DVD.

We spent the whole day watching it, without anyone wanting to take his/her ass off from the couch. My mom and dad succumbed to sleeping while my sis and I continued. We never really mind the time, the next thing we knew, my mom and dad are up at 6am, the next day and because we were afraid they’d scold us, my sis and I pretended to have slept in the sofa when in fact, we stayed up all night and morning watching!

After that, I would search new dramas and read so many plots and reviews that come along with it. I was too hooked that I’d go home at the middle of the day to atleast watch an episode or two then go back to school for my evening classes.

I am awed by the places, the soju shops that’s located just on street sides, the expression “aish..” seemingly pertaining to disappointment like “hay naku or ambot nimu”… these and the many things that I am so curious about, which made me want to visit Seoul all the more.

So my sister apparently asked my bro-in-law to let her have a vacation in Seoul with me and the b-i-l agreed. I told her to book a ticket in winter…


And until then, I am really looking forward to this trip’s realization. That glorious moment of booking a ticket and preparing the hotel, patiently and excitingly waiting for the day… ahhh… I hope to visit real soon. See you there!

Friendship is spelled with END

Image
As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
