June

Start na ng sem sa pinas, dito start na ng Finals, start na rin ng super init na summer. Di ako makagimik that much kasi I'm under medication dahil sa mata ko.

Higlight of the month? First, I attended the Philippine Embassy's Philippine Independence Day Celebration. I was personally invited by H.E. Susan Castrence, our ambassador. I was also interviewed by Paul Henson of ABSCBN. He was supposed to interview me about my job & profession plus the pinoy scholars here kaya lang my metor advised me not to touch that topic kaya singit na lang ako sa news haha. 

Then the Pinoy community had a summer camp at Sungju. There, we were taught to make our own rosary beads, tinuruan din kami ng traditional paper printing, korean mask dance, playing korean drums (i enjoyed it a lot!), and pot making. 'Twas fun. Around 150 people attended. I had a great time kasi fun yung activities including Pinoy games na napagtripan lang naming laruin. Free lahat courtesy of the Metropolitan City of Daegu.

Happy to have another successful TFCC activity and wala kaming ginastos.

But the night before that, sa haus natulog si Lanie, Irene, Bea & Jordan. Sa kaingayan ni Jordan, kinatok na tuloy ako ng neighbor ko haha. Kaya from then on, iwas visitors muna sa haus pag gabi hehe.

Last week of this month, nagkaroon ng launching ng Korea-Philippines Association. A project of Keimyung University and Korean business men. I was invited by no less than the Keimyung President Emeritus Il-hi Shin to attend the launching. Together with the Phil. Ambassador Castrence & Vice-Consul Arnel, we had tea sa office ng Keimyung Seongso Campus President before the launching. We were informed of their projects. President Emeritus Shin (President of all Keimyung Campuses) asked the Prseident of Seongso Campus to invite me to work for them. They asked me kung kelang mage-end ang contract ko with Yeungjin and I told them after 20 years! haha!
