The last time I updated my blog was when Herb passed away. A pro-skydiver, he died doing what he loved most. I wish that someday I can look back and know that deep inside, that I had continued to do what I loved to do despite of an uberly busy work schedule.
In all these years I had totally forgotten how much I loved to write. My mom just recently found my diary back when I was in 6th grade and I saw how I just wrote with wreckless abandon day in and day out about my summer crush whom I would check out in the neighborhood basketball court (yesssssss). And I just wrote. And wrote. And wrote. I ended up winning a poem-writing contest back in highschool and ended up in Heights (literary org of Ateneo) later on. And then it stopped there. With a few attempts here. And a little bit of it there.
While I was in the middle of a meeting this afternoon, I challenge myself to update my travel blog and leave a piece of recklessness into the digital abyss. I've done so much traveling and loved every minute of it that it felt like I was shortchanging myself by not writing about it! New Year's in Rio, exploring the Amazon, partying in Ibiza, sailing around Formentera/Ibiza/Mallorca, skiing in Italy, climbing Angkor Wat, living in Phnom Penh, getting lost in Luang Prabang, exploring Bali, backpacking in Florence and that's not even half of the amazing things I've done!
I'm off to South Korea this Friday. Got a Lonely Planet for a month now and had not even read it! Would be nice to get some travel tips from friends who've been there or would love to go there. So my dear friends who read til the end of this entry, care to share? The coolest one gets a pasalubong. Promise! Any ideas on pasalubong? Kimchi? Maybe?

I luv it! I am a witness how vagabond you are. I have so many ref magnets from your travel to prove it =) And i think it's about time that you blog it.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to Korea, one of my "a must place to go to". I've been a fan of KDrama or as Pinoys knows it, KOreanovela, since 2004. I also like the K-Pop culture, specially Super Junior, hahaha.
Like China, Korea is quite rich in historical places. I love their palaces which are usually used in their Sageuk KDrama. Don't forget to wear Hanbok (their national costume) and take pictures. I could already picture you wearing it, luv'et!!! I think they also give lesson on Kimchi making and proper Tea ceremony.
But best of all, their beauty products are one of the best. Buy me some BB Cream, which i heard really hides your blemishes =). Also, their bling-blings are quite cheap, specially the hair accessories. Do try also their nail spa and have your nails painted =).
Beng, what blemishes are you talking about? You are perfect just the way you are naks! Had been planning on going to one of the palaces, will think of you when I go there. Not sure about the Hanbok though, Markus may not fancy it. haha
