Winter in Korea: A Mischievous Adventure (Part 1)

Behind me is the Pagoda at Baekje Cultural Land, Buyeo Province.

Shout out to Ryan for taking this photo and patiently dealing with my un-photogenic quality. haha 

Way back April 2015, as my bestfriend (shai) and I wait to board our plane going back to Manila from Seoul, we asked ourselves if we'll ever get to visit Korea again and  hoped that it will be sooner. Never have I ever imagine that "sooner" means 19 months!

Lo and behold, November 2016 we're back in Korea!!!

As a KDRAMA FANATIC with *slight mental* issues when seeing Korean Hotties on screen *ehem* (Gong Yoo, Song Jong Ki, Nam Joo Hyuk.... I can tell you the full list but it will take us days to do that LOL), I am blessed to have visited the only country which I don't mind going back to even for hundreds of times. This is another dream come true! To add more excitement: It's winter!!! It was my very first time experiencing winter--and I'm pretty sure I loved that season but I don't think I could let go of the fact that Spring in Korea is overwhelmingly refreshing and surprisingly chilly.

My friends and I spent a great winter week in Korea (just like the last time) last November 29 to December 5. Sad to say, we were unable to witness the first snowfall which happened three days before our arrival. However, an artificial snow made up for that disappointment when we visited a ski park!

Let me give you a glimpse of how beautiful this country is through my favorite photos of our trip two months ago:

MYSA 2013: Batis Aramin

It's been awhile! Well, to make up with the long weeks of writer's block, I'm finally publishing a post! Last October 30-31, we had a Multi-Stake Young Adults Conference and it was really fun especially when it was held in a huge and interesting place called "Batis Aramin Hotel and Resort" at Lucban, Quezon (6 hours drive from home).

 I really like the design of the letters so I insist on having a picture with it behind me ;)

 As usual, a day like this will never be complete without a photo op.

The Chandelier that took my eyes away (hahahha). 

 Hanging, NOT Hanging bridge. This is basically a concrete bridge that is designed to look like a hanging bridge but trust me, it's a sorcery!

 Yup, that's the name of the Resort! Better have it on your bucketlist!

<<Found my King Kong! :)



An obligatory loot selfie >>

We love this bench on hill top, it's interesting to sit there and listen to the sighs of the wind while having girl talks!

 Yep, it's a view of MT. Banahaw I didn't had the chance to see.  :"(

It was one great experience to be there and the activities held there were fun...I got to meet new people and had the chance to explore the place. I would wish to be back there again!
