DECEMBER - end that near beginning

YEAR 2011.
It was a great year full of experiences that teaches me to be a better person.
I was grateful that the year that open up to me with so much desperation and desires seems to end full of things to be thankful for and to enjoy.
Now i can see myself contented with where i am now. With my work (w/c i came back 1st month of the year).
With our new house in Lambkin (we transfer there before the year 2011 comes - October 2010) and i am used to be there even though i am traveling everyday and still not comfortable riding in the tricycle because of the air.
Im still learning how to mingle with so many neighbors and hope to be more friendly with them.
I am happy with what God is making me, the way He teaches me lessons everyday, the way things happen in His perfect way. I believe that God is moving and creating change inside of me and i want to be changed according to what He wants me to be. Finally, this year 2011, i understand now that even though you like others and you do your best to be appreciated by them, there are times that they don't and situations like this will hurt you...yet God is just teaching you how to be free. Free from doing things just to please others.
And now i am free from this kind of desire. I believe that God wants me to be me and He wants to see me doing things that i like because i enjoy doing it. And most especially  I understand that i am created having the purpose of Glorifying God. Loving Him and enjoying being with Him. Doing things for Him. And knowing him more and more.
As what Hebrew 12: 1-2 says ... i need to turn from evil things and focus only to Jesus the perfecter of my Faith.!

There so many things to be thankful for this year 2011. Full of lessons.
And as the year ends i am looking forward to a new beginning.
"To love God more and be more closer to Him...my Heavenly Father through Christ Jesus my Lord and Savior."

"there is reason to be weak but you need to be strong"

This time i will be strong.!


When I feel pain or hurt, i'm always crying or feel so weak.
But now that I've been through many tough times in my life 
I know that this time
I need to be "strong."


Even there is something aching , 
i need to smile and ignore the pain 
and still say that I am OK.


I just hope and pray that after enduring the pain and hurt, i get well.
I do want to feel comfortable and fine all the days of my life 
but there are things in life that we humans cannot control.
And the very best thing to do in this kind of situations is to still be happy 
and to be thankful.

I believe that in times your sick, the healer will come and cured you. 
I just need to wait and to be strong.! and to trust in HIM.


This is a lovely day! full of hopes and chances to show how strong i am.!


Thank you & have a well day!

.This is just like the other days..Im not sad, but I'm not totally happy.
What can I call to this kind of feeling.? fair..so this is what I call a "FAIR DAY."

Sometimes, i get stressed and pressured in many things that I must do here at work,
and there are also lot of times where I'm not really doing things related to work even it is working hours.
Those times are when I am chatting, laughing, surfing in the net and imagining things, which is time that I must work.
But optimistically speaking, I see to it that before I waste hours of work, I finish those things that must be done.!
Hehe I think I am being defensive.".)

I just want to express my emotions at this moment thats why I'm writing in here, when I first started and make this kind of thing they've called "Blog", they mention that this is some kind of a diary. So this is what I am doing making my diary in here. But what if somebody read it.? So I think I must also be careful in things that i will share.

Going back to the fairness of time.. I come to the decision that I will not going to do such things again, you know, using office hours in things that is not related to work. (but im doing it right now. hehe.")
And when I didn't obey to this rule I have punishment.!
I will hug  one of my churchmate. His name is..._ _ _ _ . hehe (just brotherly hug)
And because I am not that type of person who hug easily, I think this punishment is fearful enough for me not to disobey.
After I finish this thing called "diary blog" this rule-punishment will start.

Interesting! I noticed something change about my fair feelings..Joy is greater than sadness now. ^_^.

Experience Seoul

This is a dream.!

Exploring the special city of  South Korea...

SEOUL      

embodied the union of 

Modernization and Tradition,

Technology & Nature

A blessed land with parks as big as forest and rivers running in the midst yet still ranking high in civilization and technology.

What would i want to see in this wonderful world of wonders.?

Definitely the best places that I can squeezed to my tight 4 days stay.

For my 1st step, i'm excited to land in Incheon International Airport, ranked the best airport in the world by Airports Council International.

and for my lodging, I choose Grand Hyatt Seoul, stay in the "grand suite king" and experience the great city view and great location in Haewan-2-dong close enough to the shopping stores & restaurants. The BEST place to stay!

I want to experience Seoul's bullet train which is the world's third largest of its kind.

Seoul Subway Express, most advanced transportation infrastructures.

And it is spread out in Seoul, I'm glad that I'm gonna ride in here most of my journey. 

I'm willing to spend my day walking to witness the Korea's Culture & Tradition in Joseon Dynasty Grand Palaces. Luckily Seoul got it all five.!

My exploration  starts at Changgyeong Palace and see the magical ponds.

Next Changdeokgung Palace, which literally translates as Palace of Prospering Virtue is also commonly referred to as Changdeok Palace. It coexists in perfect harmony with the large park in which it is located in Jongno-gu. Proceeding in southern entrance to the Palace of Shining Virtue: Gyeongbokgung, Gwanghwamun Plaza and the gate that bears its name. This palace is known for Gyeonghoe-ru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond. The palace also performs a changing of the guard ceremony. 4th, Gyeonghuigung, the smallest of the palaces and the only one with free admission. And lastly Deoksugung Palace, located in downtown Seoul and the smallest of all the royal palaces located in South Korea. 

Many scenes have taken from these Palaces.

Changdeokgung famed Secret Garden

Hyangwonjeong Pond

Trace back the Seoul City Walls:

Pungnap Teosong, flat earthen wall built at the edge of Han River.

Mongcheon Teosong, also earthen wall inside the olympic park that they preserve

Castle Walls, built along lines of mountains to surround past Gyeongbokgung Palace, sadly some  ruins in wars but some lines of this wall was still standing and a great view running in Seoul City.

Castle Walls of  Seoul

This walls are really wonderful, can't stop imagining of  the great wall of China.

 And also from the night views.

Interesting to know that the Soulites really love to preserve things from their history, not forgetting their past. These Earthen walls are being taken care of and preserve.

Mongcheon Teseong

Pungnap Teseong

I'll take a look at the oldest Market, Namdaemun Market.

 And also the oldest operating Market, Dongdaenum Market.

And my most awaited Market to visit, The Myeong dong Market. I think of it as the Mother of all Malls. Located at the heart of Seoul representing large shopping malls at higher brand names. I'll enjoy spending time in this kind of place where everywhere is prestige.

Inside a Mall in Seoul

And I will see the two known Great Gates connected to the first two Markets: Namdaemun & Damdaemun. Striking two birds in one stone! 

This Gates are part of Korea's History and still part of Seoul's  present.

For the CLIMAX of this journey

 I'll go in N Seoul Tower.! The tower of lovers with locks & keys in fence. I'll try to do that.

I'll play in the skating rink of Lotte World. The world's largest indoor amusement park. Complete with its fairytale castle and perfect views in inside or outside.

And when I'm done in witnessing the civilization of Seoul...its time for Nature Tripping!

I'll  go and stroll in Namsan Park.

& wander in Seoul Forest. How was that, a park in a forest or a forest in a park.?

And spent the night at Han River. The river in the midst of Seoul. How wonderful to see a running river in the city of skyscrapers.

Seoul has so many things to record in History, many place to enjoy for those nature lovers, and not only that, Seoul has International Sport Facilities.

So I'll walk and see Jamsil Sport Complex & Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Jamsil Sport Complex

Seoul World Cup Stadium




 Seoul is really surprising! Name it and Seoul will have it!


Even World Peace land mark.
Got to look and see the World Peace Gate in Olympic Park.

 And not only that, do you know that Seoul has so many Museums. I do believe that Seoul itself is a Museum.!

Seoul National Museum

 Even the Kimchi which is the most common food in Seoul, has its own Museum.

Its really fun to go round in this kind of place. Full of Life.!


Sad thing is that this exploration would have to end... and my last place destination is

 

Yoido Full Gospel Church

 

I will never leave Soeul without attending to their Worship Service.

That would be a very great experience to be one of the 700,000 attendees of this blessed Church. 

And most of all thank the good Lord for the best beautiful experiences.

"Life itself is a journey. No matter where you are, you've got to see the most beautiful of everything."

THIS IS ME

Im a happy jolly.

Living without worry.

Resisting fury.

Choosing my destiny.

Preparing for Eternity.
