Snowy Monday

Betchay — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 02:11:07 +0000

When I woke up this morning and looked outside, my first thought was that I should’ve bought a pair of ugg boots! How am I supposed to go to work when the snow as of 8 o’clock is already two inches and the prediction is that it will snow the whole day! ^^Good thing we parked [...] Related posts:

Let it snow!

Betchay — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 17:47:20 +0000

I’m not a fan of the winter season. I don’t like the biting cold and the early sunset. I love the snowfall but not what comes after: icy and slippery roads. We had our first real snow showers on December 27, 2009. We drove to pick up some stuff from a Canadian who is set [...] Related posts:

Christmas (trees) in Seoul

Betchay — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 01:50:22 +0000

Don’t you just love seeing all the Christmas decorations during this season? In the 1980s, my family would travel to Cubao in December to shop and to view the displays at the Manila COD Department Store. In high school, my friends and I would visit the exclusive Villa Teresa Subdivision in Angeles City and admire [...] Related posts:

Back to school?

Betchay — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 14:36:58 +0000

When I attended the KOTESOL Conference last October, a Filipina professor teaching at a university here encouraged me to continue my studies. I’m planning to do that later, when my contract ends. Being a mother, wife and a worker takes a lot of my time – what more if I’d go back to school? I [...] No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

A Very Merry Christmas (2009)

Betchay — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 09:54:36 +0000

While some of my Pinoy friends here are lamenting about how boring their holidays are, I beg to differ as I had a truly merry Christmas. Sometimes things are just a matter of how you think about them. Being away from all the hullabaloo of the holiday season didn’t dampen our celebration. The Christmas spirit [...] Related posts:

Filipino teacher wanted!

Betchay — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:03:12 +0000

It’s freezing cold here in Seoul but no snow — at least in this part of Korea. Elliot of Everything Kimchi got a place in CUK’s Graduate Scholarship program for Filipinos. He will come here next year for his studies. Now he has to find replacements. He isn’t looking for a barcode scanner but for [...] Related posts:

Hello Kitty computer

Betchay — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:39:18 +0000

I’m not a fan of cute things. In fact, I’m almost anti-cute! However, while I was doing my online Christmas shopping this morning I saw this Hello Kitty computer set that I thought would make a great gift for a niece if I could afford it. The Hello Kitty computer set includes a 19″ monitor, [...] Related posts:

Pinay entertainer in Korea

Betchay — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:57:46 +0000

I’ve been busy these days since my parents-in-law have been staying with us since our “jesa” (ancestral rite) two Saturdays ago. They sleep on mattresses called “yo”. They will be with us for the rest of the month. Even though I’m working and I have my own family to take care of (and a full-time [...] Related posts:
