Sambal

There are so many different kinds of sambal here in Indonesia that as a foreigner, we might have to find it difficult to identify all of them. Or even taste all of them. It is the same when I was living in Korea where there are so many kinds of kimchi. I haven’t tasted all… Read More Different Kinds of Sambal

World Cup Stadium Seoul I have these 2-year old p World Cup Stadium
Seoul

I have these 2-year old photos in my phone. I haven't deleted them yet because I planned to post them. But... well, I forgot🤦‍♀️.

The World Cup Stadium and its surroundings was a big part of our Seoul life. The boys had their first soccer classes here. And even if they didn't like it, they had their swimming training here as well. They didn't grow to like it. I often say, it's because I pushed them too hard into swimming classes. But hey, that's what made them capable swimmers.

This Stadium was the venue of the World Cup in 1998. But its purpose continue through soccer games and tournaments. And there's wise government planning of turning its huge spaces to become a supermarket (Homeplus is my go-to supermarket in Seoul), cafes, museum, restaurants, and a lifestyle center (Spoland - with gym and spa).

The surrounding park is a safe haven for birds and flowers. And kindergarten kids are a common sight with their teachers.

I'm posting this because we have facilities in the Philippines where the government spends billions but they use it one-time. Sayang. Nobody thinks about use for continuity so budget spent are not wasted. In fact, these facilities could be income-generating, too, through rental fees. Or maintain it for public to use. Filipino politicians are only after what tjey can get. They do not think about long-term service for the people. Sad reality.

But if you are not familiar with Manila, would you have guessed this exists there?

Just putting out something good to look at and think of Manila in here. We need this at a time like this.

We were just passing by the hotel lobby, then I focused my camera on the arc and saw the reflection on the tiles. Wow!

We really just have to stop and look. Beauty really is in the small, unplanned moments.

Kawisari transports us into another time. You can see the wooden doors that have welcomed decades, tiles that have carried quiet footsteps,
and walls that keep memories older than us.

Upstairs, light pours in softly… downstairs, koi swim as if time moves slower here. Then there's that meal wrapped in banana leaves in a basket. Despite the plate served, I insisted on eating directly from where it's served. I want authentic, I went all the way for authenticity:-)

Jakarta is a UNESCO-designated City of Literature. Jakarta is a UNESCO-designated City of Literature. 

There are many aspects of Jakarta life I like. This added to the pride of living here.

"Jakarta, City of Literature.” Surprise ako sa na "Jakarta, City of Literature.”

Surprise ako sa nakita ko. Because I only wanted to check out the Jakarta Library (courtesy of IG feed) but didn't know that Jakarta is actually recognized by UNESCO as a City of Literature.

I didn't expect✌️... and that's just a beautiful surprise. I've been living here for almost 5 years now and I only see the traffic, the crowds, and the rush. It's a city of chaos, dynamic and alive... but seriously, I didn't get the impression that it's a city of readers and writers✌️

I was impressed with the 27-floor National Library and the view from its topmost floor. So, I know Jakarta has space for its books, stories, and learnings. But to have another one like this, fan na ako ng Jakarta😃.

And it's a Sunday. Madaming tao sa library! 

P.S. our general impression of Indonesians, mababait sila. Today is another affirmation. Ang ka-selfie ko? She helped me with the registration to get in (no fee) and we were together until inside... my photos were taken by different bagets... they're so nice. Hahahha
