The Story of Us cover by Josie

love her rendition of taylor swift's the story of us. i must admit i'm a fan =)

One sem down =)

The semester is finally over! Yeah! Things happened quite fast. I can still remember the moment we arrived here. And now we're done with one sem! Let me just describe it briefly, it's a sem full of adjustments - meeting new people, experiencing winter and spring seasons for the first time, learning the Korean language, and of course all other things Korean (food, drinks, lifestyle). Whew! So I just want to share some pictures of our sem-ender celebration in my Korean Language class.

Four months and counting

Four months and counting! Yeah, I've been staying here in Korea for already four months. Time flies! And I think, before I know it, two years has already gone by and I'll be returning back to the Philippines. So before that happens, I must make the most of my stay here. I don't want to go home with thoughts of I should have done this, I should have experienced this and that... I hope the memories that I'll have of Korea will not be all about laboratory works, pressure, stress, lack of sleep, etc. So the following are the MUST-DO in the remaining 1 year and 8 months of my stay here.

• explore other parts of South Korea by having some out-of-town trips once a month
• do some sports, swimming on top of the list for the month of July
• meet new friends, be it Korean or other foreigners
• update my blog regularly by posting once a week
• start managing my finances well and allot part of my allowance for savings
• go to Forever21 in Seoul
• discover more stores and best buys in downtown
• have a glimpse of Korean Fashion Week
• be an English tutor to Korean kids

So there, as of now those are the priorities. Aja! Take it one step at a time. =)
