(reposting from my old post) I live in the World Cup Park Apartments, very near to Haneul Park, one of the must-go-to places during Autumn. I have always wanted to go up there to take pictures but strangely, the nearer we are the harder it seems to have the time to go to a place that… Read More Fiery Autumn Sunset

But I can’t remember saying my final “yes” nor remember setting a date to start our initiation rites. But they never… Read More Confessions of a Sorority “Quitter”

I blogged about how to authenticate documents issued in Korea last March 2019 in this blog post: Authentication of Documents Issued in Korea based on my experience last January 2019. However, the Department of Foreign Affairs issued a new guideline after the Philippines became a party to the Apostille Convention last May 14, 2019.
