It was quite a long wait but fun during our Year book picture taking. We had four (4) kinds of shots. One wearing a Toga, another in our clinical uniform, in a filipiniana and a creative/costume.

There was a variety of creative costumes to choose from, like the Chinese national dress, Japanese, Super heroes, Angels, Fairies and more. Ate Chuchi, Julie and i chose fairy costumes.

Three rooms was set, one for measurements taking for our Toga Size, and mass dress, another for photo shooting and make up & dressing room.

Graduation march is set on April 2009.

Koreans in Boracay

No Gravatar

The biggest number of tourists coming to Boracay are the Koreans, it is so well promoted there and they especially come during their winter months. I met some who come to play golf at Fairways and Bluewater’s with their Mizuno golf gears, some come to spend their honey moon or simply chill in a white beach.

In fact, a lot of Koreans have made Boracay their home for the last few years and they decided to do business in the Island catering to their people. On of those is Max Lee (seated - the only guy) who has been living in the Island for at least three years, upon seeing the beauty of Boracay he immediately fell in love with it to the point of him bringing his own lightweight aircraft, set up a horse riding club, enjoy Kite Boarding, paragliding and a lot of other water sports  to his hearts content. Right now he is launching a weekly newspaper The Boracay Times.

Another Korean I met is Mrs. Kim (standing in the photo) who owns the Korean Restaurant Tong Yang, located at Regency Resort Boracay. My friends Julie, Luzette and I enjoyed a wonderful time with her over a set of the usual variety of Kimchi, Tenderloin, Bibimbap and a Soju – rice wine.

From them, I learned how to do a toast in Korean, we say “combe!” meaning “cheers!”

Also, in shaking hands or receiving  a drink, one must use both hands when doing it with someone older to show respect. Extending the arm with just one hand is acceptable only if of the same age.

Do you keep losing your pen?

No Gravatar

Well, me too! My favorite pen for a while was my Cross pen with my name on it. It was in gold with flowery carvings.  It was with me for about 3 years until i lost it.  That was my first and last Cross pen.  I felt quite bad losing it…:-(

 There was a time when i didn’t want to buy an expensive ($80 is already very expensive for me hehe) pen, coz it makes me sad when i lose it. And so i settle for a $1 plastic pen and told myself that if i could keep a single pen for a period of 3 months without losing it, then il get a branded one. So far, i haven’t lol…my gosh…I now enjoy promotional pens given during events hehe…

Tips on how not to lose a pen is most welcome.
