"Another star with Pinoy roots joins Glee cast." I really think that we should stop basking in the reflected glory of Filipino artists making waves abroad. We've already proven that Fil artists can, and in too many an instance, in fact. We need to revel in something more than this, something that can translate mere "national pride" to more significant movements and change.
Another singing with a drop of Filipino blood in X-Factor, yeah. Just another brick in the wall for me.

There are things that, keep as you may, still become a distant ember that even the slightest touch of wind can extinguish. This blog is dedicated to my life in Korea, where my memories with my friends I'll always try to remember... 한국에 있었는 교환학생 생활, 대전 대학교 아세안

Tara at manguna! ^^
Naisip ko lang habang nagbabrowse ng photo album sa FB ng Korean and Japanese friends ko...hindi lang sila simpleng litrato ng isang grupo ng mga international students, nakita ko ang isang karera ng henerasyon.
Hindi ko naman gaanong nararamdaman na mahuhuli ang henerasyon natin kapag nagtagpo tayo at sila sa edad ng karaniwang pamumuno. Marami naman satin ang nasa ibang bansa rin (at kahit ang mga nananatili sa Pilipinas) para magaral, at hindi madalang ang mga nakakakuha ng parangal at nagtatagumpay sa mumunti nilang pamamaraan.
Inaalala ko lang, at alam kong hindi lingid sa atin, na may kiling ang iba sa atin sa metalidad ng pagiging pangkaraniwan, basta mairaos lang, o kung hindi man, eh simpleng katamaran.

Building 63 in Seoul
You would not have missed the tall, golden, glimmering building if you're riding the train from Incheon to Seoul. What you are seeing is called Building 63 for an obvious reason. Below is a scanned brochure containing the things that you can find in the building. Things are a bit pricey in there but the sights and activities are worth the bucks.
