I lived in Las Vegas in 2016 so I always passed by I-15 but I never had the chance to go nearer before. It was constructed sometime in May 2016 so not a lot of people have been going there yet that time, probably the reason why we didn't go is 'cause we didn't know more information about it. Can't remember. Haha!

USA 2016: Red Rock Canyon Conservation, Nevada

FYI: I-15 is the interstate is the highway that runs through several states from California to the Intermountain West. (Nevada. Montana, Utah, Arizona and Idaho)


For the Seven Magic Mountains, you can find this art installation along the California - Las Vegas segment of the I-15. Although it is a lot closer to the latter than the former. 


I was told that it was only supposed to be there until 2018 but it was extended until the end of 2021. So there, made sure to visit it the last time I was in Vegas.

I didn't expect the boulder pillars to be that tall. They were around 30 feet in height! 


I was looking at my post about my last day in Las Vegas four years ago and man, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang nakabalik ako. To think na magi-isang taon na 'to bago ko na-post dito. :)))


See you again, my love link: here.


Best to come out here in the morning to avoid the crowd. There were a lot of people that time so we weren't able to take lots of photos.

I was watching the Korean movie, "Tune in for Love" in Netflix when I saw this as one of the shooting locations. I immediately searched my blog and it was only then did I realize that I haven't posted this here yet.

We visited this place February 2019, just never had the chance to blog about it until now. Two Days, One Night Season 3 was still showing/broadcasting during this time so I was really looking forward to visiting this building back then. 


BTW 2D1N is back on broadcast again for its season 4. I miss Cha Tae Hyun but I'm slowly getting used to the new members and of course, Kim Jong Min is still there so I still watch it every week.

KBS Cool FM

It was the Chinese New Year Holiday so not a lot of establishments were open. There was a VR musuem but yeah, it was closed that day. Would've entered had I known that my favorite variety show would get discontinued months after this. :((


2 Days, 1 Night.... you're missed... you're really missed. :(( 



KBS Cool FM

We chanced upon the live broadcast of KBS' Cool FM and you can watch the DJ from the glass window. 


Saranghaeyo, Moon Hee Joon!

Here is Jamjam's appa while working. Tbh, I don't know who he was until he joined Return of Superman. I don't watch it all the time like 2D1N but I've been waiting for clips of his daughter - theirs is the only part that I watch.  


After walking around the building, we continued walking towards Saetgang Overpass.

This is one of the shooting locations of Fight For My Way as well.



Not a long overpass but interesting design. You can take photos with the building of Yeouido at the background. 


I tried to look for this bridge during my first time in Seoul but got lost because there's a train station called Saetgang and I thought it was around that area - one of the nearest station here would be Singil station if you're not coming from KBS. 


I think I'd need more warm clothes since I'm going back in January for another winter trip. Hahaha! Kakahinayang kasi mag-invest for outfits. :)))


If you go down the bridge, you'll enter Saetgang Ecology Park.

There wasn't a lot to see that time since the trees have already lost their leaves and it hasn't snowed for days so we had neither autumn foliage nor winter snow. HAHA!


Still a nice place to walk around and take photos though especially since we don't have winter in our country. I've only seen places in Seoul during winter so going back there last month I was kinda feeling weird during the first few hours 'cause I was seeing leaves on the trees. lol

Currently Watching: Crash Landing On You <3

Station: Eungbong Station, exit 1

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

I kept on thinking that I should post more of my different travels the past months and not just those places from South Korea, but then I'd see one place in a drama that I'm currently watching and then here it goes, a blog post about it. I'm scheduling another post which will include the KBS building 'cause I saw Jamjam's appa (The Return of Superman) there before. Saranghaeyo, Moon Hee Joon! HAHAHA. 

Not that this was a scene in Crash Landing On You per se, but it's one of the places I noticed in the intro video whenever it's played in Netflix. Took a photo of it which will be uploaded last on this photo set.

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

Going to the pagoda is easy if only we didn't take the longer route to get there. It has an elevation of 95.3 meters and there's a staircase so it's easy to get to the top. From the train station, all you have to do is walk straight to the staircase. 

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

But despite the map that we had in our phones, we still took a wrong turn and ended up walking the longer way. But yeah, it was because of that that we saw this bridge. 

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

The staircase from the wall climbing wall was pretty steep so we rested for a while before continuing our "hike." Went there last January so it was freezing and we had this very heavy coats on so it was more challenging than usual. lol. 

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

We got to the pagoda eventually.

This should be a familiar view especially to people who've watched a lot of Kdramas. Scenes in "Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo," "Are You Human?" were filmed here as well. 

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

It was noon when we got here and no one else was there. Haha. There are a lot of crowded places in Seoul but then you'd still be able to find places that doesn't have a lot of people especially if you're travelling on a weekday.  


Here was a sign that this place is a photo spot but didn't know how the photo should look like. lol.


Namsan Tower 

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

Going up the pagoda is not allowed. 

I remembered eating kimbap in of the pagodas I saw in Busan before.

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

I still get excited for South Korea trips.

It's still a happy place and I think that it will always be. <3


So from here, Seoul Forest is just across the river. We again, took the long turn, but if you're going to SF then that pedestrian bridge is the one you should look for. 


I've seen photos of this staircase in spring and autumn but yeah, I haven't experienced going around Seoul during those two seasons. Haha. This is the Seoul that's familiar to me. Seoul during winter. <3 I can use another week-long Seoul trip next year. HAHAHA! Well, my three years visa would expire next year but I am thinking of renewing. 

Eungbongsan, Seoul Winter 2020

If you're on the right track, this is what the staircase should look like when going up to Eungbongsan.

and EXO-L 'cause Suho was there too,



뮤지컬 웃는 남자/ The Man Who Laughs Musical - Suho (Junmyeon of EXO, Kyuhyun and Shindong of Super Junior
Cafe - Yesung of Super Junior


For my past three South Korea trips, I've been seeing Korean stars. :)) My ultimate bias/crush/whatever you call him is Park Seo Joon but I have no idea where to find him so I've only been going to the shooting locations of his drama.

I'm not really into KPOP but this is exciting, tbh. HAHAHA! I swear kung ma-tyempuhan ko lang talaga si Seo Joon na ganito kalapit.. kahit two hours pa ko maghintay. Haha! Anyway, my friend is a huge fan of Super Junior which explains why she's updated with all Suju activities.

For this year's winter trip, we didn't have a definite itinerary. Since Kyuhyun of Super Junior has schedules as the lead of the musical "The Man Who Laughs" "뮤지컬 웃는 남자" we decided to drop by Seoul Arts Theater to wait for him. 


Haengbok <3

Kyuhun was the one we saw on the first day we went there but I didn't upload a video. We decided to go back for Suho the next day and I handed him a love letter in a pouch as per the instruction of a friend. It was fun though it was the time when I realized that the feeling's different if it's with someone you like. HAHAHA! Last year, we saw Lee Min Ho go down his car and walk towards the door of his office and I was so kilig just by that. And then there was Suho who was closer and who accepted my love letter. I felt kilig 'cause my effort didn't go to waste but not the kilig kasi I'm crushing on that person. If you know what I mean. HAHA! Baka mamaya si Seo Joon nga, di ko ma-abutan ng love letter. :)))

We went back for Suho (but he exited somewhere else), left Seoul Arts and went back for Kyuhyun again. 


I appreciate that he (Kyuhyun) takes time in walking, greeting, and accepting gifts from everyone.

 During this second time, we were busy with our phones when all of a sudden, Shindong was walking alongside the people who've watched the musical. I wasn't even able to take a photo of him - andon lang siya sa harap ko, naglalakad. :)

It is calm with Kyuhyun but it feels like a battlefield with Suho. I can't blame him that he walks fast and don't look around much. Some fans can get really scary and aggressive with him. I got a bit scared too when we were waiting for him - parang ready silang mag attack anytime. Ganong feeling.


It was the Chinese New Year's Day and a lot of shops were closed. We first went to Donghae's Cafe but it was closed so we went straight to Yesung's Mouse Rabbit. Good thing it was open and there were also some fans eating inside.


We took our time as we drink our lattes and eat our cake. My friend listened to the Seollal greetings of Suju and it might have gotten the attention of her fellow ELF inside the cafe. 


Several selfies after. The other elf tapped my friend and she told us that Yesung is in his other cafe - Cafe Amoire. Wala ng isip-isip, we grabbed our stuff and walked towards Cafe Amoire which was three to four cafes away. (Will be blogging about it soon)


We entered and there he was having meeting. We asked if taking a photo was fine but he respectfully declined - totally cool with that. Sayang lang we didn't have pen and paper with us that time so we weren't able to ask for a sign/autograph as well. But yeah, we were able to greet him anyway. :)))



So there, this is the end of an ELF and EXO-L fangirl diary. HAHAHA! Sana si Seo Joon din talaga, universe!

If you're taking the Cebu Pacific flight from Manila to Incheon. Most likely, you would not be able to catch the last trip of the subway nor the limousine airport buses. If you're travelling in group that can share the high cost of taxi then that would be good but if if you're not, then your next best option is to wait for the 12:15 AM bus to Seoul Station and from SS ride a cab to your hotel. I heard, though, that some passengers opted to stay at the airport and wait for the subway's first trip. 


Above is what I wrote in a blogpost during my first trip to Korea in 2018. A lot of things has changed since then... link: here.


This is the sign that would greet you once you enter the airport - make sure all the documents are filled out so you can head straight to the immigration counter lines.

For Cebu Pacific and Air Asia flights, you'd still have to take an airport train to another terminal where you'd pass through the immigration and claim your luggages. When we were in Korea last September, we flew with Jejuair so we arrived in the morning. That time, the line in the immigration was crazy but it wasn't "crucial" since we had a lot of transportation options to Seoul.

Anyway, more and more people are going to Korea nowadays that the immigration still has a long line even it it was almost midnight for this trip. We exited the airport past 0:15. We initially thought that we would be able to ride the next trip but hindi nga pala Pilipinas 'yon na may standing. Haha! 

Late Night Bus Schedule Incheon

There's a different queue for the bus going to Gangnam Area, I wasn't able to take a photo of the schedule though but for Incheon Airport to Seoul Station:


00:15
01:05
02:00
02:55
03:45
04:40

Going back to the first paragraph in this post, back in 2018, there were only less than 10 passengers that were with us for that night bus. Now, we started waiting for the 1:05 bus but was only able to ride the 2:55 bus. We waited outside for almost three hours on a -3 degrees Celsius weather. I mean, I'm for it considering we went there for the cold (freezing) but still, wearing four layers of clothing wasn't enough - thank God for heattechs. :)) Okay naman ako the rest of the trip. Grabe lang talaga nung gabi na 'yan. Our hotel was again, Maru Guesthouse, so we had to walk from the bus station and I accidentally bit my tongue thrice the whole 15 minutes walk 'cause I was shivering.

Well, if you have a budget for transportation, you have more options actually; cab, carpool, or private transfer.

[Klook Link] Private Incheon International Airport Transfers (ICN) for Seoul

For us, we had to wait 'cause this airport bus only costs 9,000 KRW. 



The easiest way to pay for the buses and trains in Seoul is by using Tmoney. You can either get one from Klook or buy at the convenience store in the airport. I'm still using the Tmoney card I bought in 2018. Fares for those who have Tmoney cards are lower than just paying in cash. Also, take note that for buses, you won't be given change if you pay in cash.

Late Night Bus Schedule Incheon

This bus 6001 is the limousine airport bus and a trip costs 15,000 KRW. Operating time is from 4:50 to 20:22 and comes every 15-25 minutes.
