LOL! I just missed blogging a lot! Something came up and I am sharing it with you guys. Last November 9, 2009, I was chosen to be one of the delegates for the RP-Korean Youth LeaderEx-change Program together with other 11 delegates from the different regions of the Philippines. I was so happy that I was one of the lucky who were able to experience the so called Korean Wave haha!
We flew in South Korea, November 10, 2009 at around 12:00 MN, so late that I was sleeping in the airplane the whole time, together with my officemate. We landed at Incheon Airport about 5 in the morning of November 11 and called Ms. Chong, JungHyun of the National Council of Youth Organization in Korea (NCYOK) to fetch us up and meet with the other delegates, btw, the other delegates took the Cebu Pacific flight at 3:00 in the afternoon that day and they were earlier to arrive at the Dreamtel (Hotel cum office of the NCYOK), Seoul, Korea. And our journey to experience Korea has begun.... (*wink*)
I am not gonna post all my pictures cuz it might take me a long time uploading them hehehe!
