I love Wednesday! You know why, it is our break from working out in the gym. Anyway last week I forgot to join this meme, I have been thinking of something I don’t know and guess what this is it. I just remember it on weekends. I have told myself that day it seems there’s no meme for Wednesday, which I am wrong. Tsk! I am really getting old in 23 years old, it’s a  bad sign. How much more ten years from now?

These photos are taken in Gyeongbukgong just here in South Korea. I am just too lucky that my husband is in good mood to take photo of me. You know he hates it when I make him as my personal photographer. Sometimes kidding me that I ruined his pictures by posing on them. C ‘est lavie I just love photos, taking photos of me. Haha

Excuse me for ruining the beauty of nature.

Last Saturday we woke up at 8:30 in the morning because we have to go in Seoul to take care our Chinese visa and have my last vaccination at the International Clinic in Itaewon.

We waited  in the chair inside the bus terminal after purchasing our bus ticket, our departure time is 10 o’clock in the morning, we have to wait almost forty five minutes. I feel very hungry because I did not yet eat my breakfast, I think hubby is already bored waiting so he ask me to see if the bus is already open for boarding. So I take a look, the bus is now open so I went back inside the terminal and call hubby’s attention that we can now board the bus. We hand our ticket to the driver, the bus is full. When we arrived at our designated seats, there’s a couple sitting so we’re confused. The guy look on our tickets, guess what? Yes it is a right bus to Seoul, right seat number but not the right time, the bus is a 9:30 bus and what we have on our ticket is ten o’clock bus. What an embarrassment, luckily we our foreigners so it is fine to commit mistakes sometimes because we can’t read their native language and anyway the driver let us in so not our full mistake. The driver says sorry but we just say thank you to him and to the guy in the seat.

Days seems so fast its Friday again, time to look at the sky and wish all the things you have in your mind. This photo was taken Gyeongbokgung, a royal palace located in northern Seoul, South Korea. First constructed in 1394 and reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the palace, Gyeongbokgung, translates in English as “Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven.”

When Spring time flower blossoms, this picture was taken three weeks ago here in Korea. You can see a lot of flowering flowers everywhere here. I don’t know what’s the name of this flower but as what I found online it is called Azaleas are flowering shrubs making up part of the genus Rhododendron. Originally azaleas were classed as a different genus of plant, but now they are recognized as two of the eight subgenera of rhododendrons – Pentanthera (deciduous) and Tsutsuji (evergreen). Azaleas bloom in spring, in damp mountainous places, their flowers dying only a few weeks later. They do not need as much sun as other plants; they live near trees and sometimes under them. Azalea is also the flower of the astrology symbol Sagittarius.

It’s Monday again, another great day to start in spite of the sad news that we had received last night, hubby’s maternal grandmother just left to be with her creator at the age of 92.  I have ask him if he is going home to Canada, he said no maybe because he cannot left his work here.

This is really a true blue Monday, anyway this is my shot taken in Dongdaemon, hubby walked me here after eating at the Everest restaurant (Nepalese cuisine) as a celebration of  our first wedding anniversary.

Heunginjimun, literally “Gate of Rising Benevolence” or more commonly known as Dongdaemun is a prominent landmark in central Seoul, South Korea. The Korean name “Dongdaemun” means “Great East Gate,” and it was so named because it was the major eastern gate in the wall that surrounded Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty. The gate is located at Jongno 6-ga in Jongno-gu.

The structure was first built by King Taejo during his fifth year of reign (1396). It was renovated in 1453, and the current structure is the one rebuilt in 1869.

Today, the area around Dongdaemun known as Dongdaemun Market includes upmarket shopping districts as well as several underground shops, stalls and markets that are open for much of the day. It has grown into the largest shopping center in South Korea. In 2007, the City of Seoul started Dongdaemun Design Project (DDP), to renovate what used to be Dongdaemun Stadium (an amateur baseball park). With world-famous architect Zaha Hadid’s design, when completed this structure is expected to be one of the most notable landmarks in downtown Seoul.

As of 2010, the Seoul Subway station name there was changed to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station.

Bluehoney : look there’s a big bird! 

San Andres was originally a barangay of Odiongan which became a municipality on 1920. It was a native settlement of nipa huts known as Parpaguha, named after a rare large bird that had its nest among the thicket along the river where settlement was located.

Among the first Spaniards to reach Parpaguha during the later half of the 19th century was Don Jose de Tiran, a military commander of Romblon who set out an inspection trip of the surrounding villages. On reaching the place he ordered a civil guard to fetch a glass of water from nearby well. The water turned out to be salty and the Spaniard yelled “Salado”, issuing an official order to that effect.

In 1882, a prominent resident of Salado named Rufino Leano was accused of a crime by an influential Spaniard, Don Barcelo. Don Barcelo succeeded in having Leano imprisoned without trial in the provincial jail of Capiz (which Romblon then belonged to as a sub-province).

Years later, the Spanish Governor-General Eulogio Despujol visited Capiz, and Leano successfully sought an audience with him. Governor Despujol found Leano innocent and set him free. On reaching his hometown, he successfully petitioned the provincial governor to change the name of Salado to “Despujols” in honor of the Governor General.

Hi guys just get back from the outside world (lol), if you have noticed my absence but I think I am the only one who noticed it. I have been busy these past two days, no particular reason. I have been busy reading, yes reading. I just really love reading online that I can’t stop once I started.  I love reading any thing that interest me, well if you are also interested to read some ghost story, you can visit this site and share your own paranormal experience.

Anyway, I am jumping to my post today. In Philippines particularly in our province which is an island surrounded by water. If you feel like swimming or going to the beach you don’t need money to do it. You can swim in the beach without paying an entrance fee, you can set a picnic mattress in the sand without someone asking you to pay. All you need to do is look for a place like this, an empty space in the shore. Where sometimes it is just near a private beach…

That’s right, this is one of the lovely photo my sister had send me, I think it was Nanay who took this.

Is there  a tow-a way car boat in the sea? I found this photo very lovely you cannot even see that there’s sea water, it seems it is just a flat ground. The sky and the sea has the same color, this photo was taken by my mother few months ago in San Andres, Romblon while they’re having a women’s event.

This is a port..

The sea is so calm…
