I’m cleaning up my computer and I noticed that there are just so many pictures to write about. One of them were a group of photos taken at Nami Island when I accompanied the team of “Pinoy Abroad”. It was on October 20 last year (same day I learned I was pregnant 
). Anyway, “Pinoy Abroad” is a television show hosted by Ivan Mayrina. From what I know, it’s not on-air anymore and replaced by a similar themed show hosted by the popular tandem of Paolo Bediones and Miriam Quiambao. By the way, Ivan Mayrina is a “cabalen” and a schoolmate. I was just a year ahead of him. In fact, he was my niece’s classmate (oh yeah I’m old!).
Nami Island is one of the locations for the highly-successful Korean drama “Winter Sonata” starring Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo. It was my third time that year to visit the island. First was with my mom and husband and second was with my pinay friends here in Seoul.
Here are some photos I took…

I love WInter Sonata! But I love My Girl better..are you planning on visiting places that was in My Girl? Say..Jeju Island? I’ll link you up in my blog.
Great site!
Hello! I can’t find your e-mail address. Tanong ko lang, is it hard to live in Korea? Mahirap ba mag-migrate? Hehe
hi jeff! it depends… kahit naman saan mahirap mamuhay… but i don’t think korea is accepting migrants the way the US and Canada do…
korea and canda has a big kaibahan. korea is poor country compared sa pnas way back 1969. but look at korea now. unlike canada korea stands on his own. korean people help each other for their country’s success.canada is a wealthy country and they are accepting immigrants in few years. since canada is under another country.everywhere is difficult. thats why, many canadianas are working here.
