Korean Character Exhibition: The Delight of Korean Animation Character World


From February 7 - May 10, 2014, these are the things on display at KCCPh's wave hall.

I, myself, don't remember watching these Korean animations when I was younger but despite that, seeing these was enough to feel nostalgic. Afterall, our childhood is one of the best times of our lives, isn't it?


Anyway, it was only in 2012 that I got to watch episodes of some of these animations since they're a great way to practice Korean language skills too. I don't remember what was it but I learned the Korean words for different body parts and animal names from an animation. 

Adventures on Cloud Bread and Hello, Jadoo. 

Yes, we learn something new everyday.
I've always thought that Pucca is Chinese!

And of course, Pororo and friends.

CHINGUYA ANNYEONG!
These toys will definitely make a child happy.
No touching and playing though!
This exhibit is for free so visit the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines now and take a selfie with Pororo and Pucca!
---

I was once a student (Elementary 1, Elementary 2 & Korean Traditional Dance) and a volunteer at KCCPh. Until now, if time and schedule permits, I always find myself returning there. Two years ago (LEE MIN HO AND BOYS OVER FLOWERS were the roots of all these), I decided to enroll myself in a language class at KCC. Like what I've always told some people, it was one of the best decisions I made in this life. (K. EMO? HAHAHA) I'm really glad that even if I knew no one and nothing when I started, I pushed through. As time passed, I fell inlove not only with the Korean culture per se but also with the experiences I had. Not to mention that I also gained friends along the way. 


Why am I saying this?

I want to invite like-minded people to take our hobby to the next level.

If you're devoting much of your time watching dramas, following K-pop stars etc. why not channel those "fangirling" and "fanboying" passions to something that would benefit you in the long run? Self-improvement, culture immersion, having a third language ganyan. 


In weeks time, maybe in the 3rd or last week of April, the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines is opening its doors again for Filipinos who are interested in learning more about Korea. If you're one of us and you have the time, will and budget (they offer classes at a very affordable price, mej mahal lang paminsan ang cost of living sa BGC kasi. hehe) why not try enrolling yourself in one of their classes? 

And though they're not considered a language institute (more of hobbies lang kasi and it's a cultural center), I assure that you'll learn a lot. I passed my TOPIK beginner level 2 with the knowledge I learned from KCC's elem 1&2. :) TOPIK tips link: here. 


ADDITIONAL INFO: Start 'em young! Enroll children aged 10-15 years old in their summer youth program from April 21 to May 9 ( 10 AM to 12 NN) for only P 200.00. Enroll online on April 9-11 and onsite on April 12. 

Children will learn the Korean Language basic, traditional games and more.

Disappointed because the owner of the restaurant we were meaning to visit was still out to buy ingredients, we found this Korean Restaurant in 5362 Gen. Luna Street in Poblacion, Makati. Poblacion definitely has a lot of hidden gems.

Yey for wooden chopsticks.
Look at all these banchan/sidedishes.

Cubed Raddish Kimchi (깍두기), Spinach (시금치나물),  Kimchi ( 김치), Fish Cake (오뎅), Soybean Sprouts (콩나물무침), Pickled Radish (단무지) and lettuce (쌍추) to wrap your galbi or samgyeopsals in. 

Soybean paste and that vinegar looking dip that tastes like wasabi.
Our order was Chicken Galbi
Really like Korean restaurants with exhaust. You know how clingy the smell of Korean food can be (Buti pa 'yung amoey e clingy). Imagine walking out of the restaurant smelling like food from hair to toe. Give away na give away na sa Korean restaurant ka nanggaling.

Our order was grilled by the waitress and compared to Yoogane's version,  this wasn't that spicy. Enough for an authentic Korean taste without numbing your tongue too much. Great for starters and those who aren't fond of spicy food.
Kimbap and Ttukboki
Lettuce and Onion Leek Salad was also served halfway our meal.

파절이


All in all, Seoul Galbi is one of the best Korean Restaurant I've been to.

Apart from the delicious taste of our food. They have big servings, good service and affordable prices.


Everything we had cost only P 550.00.
This may already be good for 3 persons but only 2 of us shared this meal. La eh. Takaw eh. :))

I have an idea on where I'll be at for 4 days in the 29 days left of April. For the 25 days that are left "unplanned", I know they're going to be great as well even if, even if, everyday is a struggle. :)) Diba, find that one thing that you're happy about and thankful for even when you're having a very bad day.



I attended mass today and it was again mentioned in the homily that we must open ourselves (thoughts etc.) to the possibility of receiving God's grace every moment of our lives. So, sabayan niyo ko at mag-claim, claim, claim, claim tayo ng lahat ng blessings na gusto naman Niyang ibigay sa'tin. 


"I may not be there yet, but I am closer than I was yesterday."



I LOVE YOU, APRIL.
 KTNXBYE.

Bought this at Family Mart for I can't remember how much. hahaha.
P 70.00, I think.

This Lotte Ghana Matcha and Milk Chocolate Sticks is the cheapest Matcha something I've bought so far. 
Each box has four sticks of chocolate which has a holder (?)/ a golden foil cover on the top part.
Each stick is a combination of matcha and milk chocolate.

Doesn't it look very appealing?


Being a matcha addict that I am, I found this very very very lacking in quantity. I think I need more than 8 sticks per sitting. Hahahaha. Bitin much. Even if the two chocolates are halved, can't I get a pure matcha stick someday?? Anyway, I found the matcha part just right and it's actually creamy for me but I think most will find it a little bit strong. The chocolate, on the other hand, is definitely creamy with just right sweetness and bitterness to it. 


This chocolate is the right balance of matcha and milk chocolate.

 Scrub your way to your softest lips ever.

Here's my review of Tonly Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub; the first lip scrub I've tried kasi babae na 'ko ng very very light. hahahaha

Don't you just hate having dry and flaky lips? I do. I really hate having dry lips and maybe that's the reason why I have acquired the habit of applying lip balms as frequent as I can anywhere and anytime. And, whenever I see someone with dry lips, there's this urge to "donate" lip balm to that person. And if it's someone I don't like, I sometimes reach a point when I think of peeling the flaky skin to make way for bleeding lips, bleeding face and bleeding body! JOKEEE! Baliw at sadista pala. :))))


Here's one product you can use to get rid of those loose and dead skin from my favorite Korean Cosmetic Brand, Tony Moly. 
Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub have a bulky container but it is really cute. The lip shape can automatically give you an idea on which part of the body is this supposed to be used. CORRECT!! This is for your eyes. hahaha. K. Corny.
What it looks like.

Apart from the upper cover, there's still white cover/lid. 
Close-up.

This is sold for P 348.00
And since you only need a little amount, the contents of this container will last you a long time.

This is a cream scrub with fine grains to exfoliate lip though I don't know what those grains are made from. It has a mild scent of apricot or peach. For its taste, although it's obvious that you shouldn't eat nor taste this, it's fine and doesn't taste like chemicals. HAHAHAHAHA. Pati ba naman 'to kinain ko? Maiiwasan mo ba naman kase!


I have tried this two times already;


First when I had chapped lips during the Philippines' colder days and it managed to peel off the dry skin just after a minute or two of scrubbing. 
It's a lot better to remove those peeling skin this way for less pain and to prevent bleeding just in case you can't stop yourself from pulling. 

Second was when I just thought of using this. Without flaky skin, I felt the softening and smoothing of my lips more especially when I woke up.

Take note than even if the grains are fine, don't rub this too hard on your lips unless you want sore and bleeding lips. This is best used at night before going to bed and don't forget to apply lip balms!


But if you're already in the stage when your lip is severely chapped and dry that it rips, cracks or worse bleeds every time you try to smile or talk, treat it by applying lip balm first for a couple of days because this scrub might aggravate the condition leaving you with raw and exposed skin which is very very very sensitive and painful. Ouchie! :'( (You might want to check out Human Heart Nature lip balms link: here. They're all natural! Giving your lips a break from too much chemicals.)
Te, inom inom din kasi ng tubig and stop licking your lips!


 

There is an instruction that was written in Korean and this is the rough translation: 

1. Using your finger, massage the scrub on your lips for 1 - 2 minutes.
2. Wipe it off with tissue or wash it off with water.

3. Apply lip essence or lip balm after to make it more effective.
O, gusto mo pa ng picture ko nyan?
Ang ganda ganda ko please. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Ayan ang no make-up fez. Kailangan talaga 'yung picture na nagpapacute ng ganyan eh. 
'Cause I'm quite sure Kim Jaejoong has a similar picture when they were still the endorsers of Tony Moly.
