Film hunt afternoon!

I've been busy during the past few days because I'm arranging things that I will need for my trip next week. However, last Saturday, my schedule was not that busy so I was able to join a film canister hunt in the Lomo Gallery. Originally, my reason of going there was to pick-up the films and buy new ones too but Min Seon told me they were having that event on the afternoon so since I had time, I joined. :)










It was a new and fun experience because I got to meet new lomographers from Seoul. :) My group didn't won but we got a lot of freebies anyway. Hehe These are all taken while we're having the hunt. I used the Lomography X-Pro film for the first time and I was pretty happy of the results. :)

































These are my teammates, Christina and Hyun Jee, making wacky poses for the Lomo Gallery account, hehez :)

Every cloud has a silver lining

I'm supposed to meet with Suyen again today since its their last day here in Korea. We decided to meet in Gyeongbok Palace where they are scheduled to go in the morning. However, their tour schedule somehow went differently so we didn't get to meet. Even though I was already in the area, and we are already talking over the phone. :( So instead of sulking over what didn't happen, I just made the most of where I was. I witnessed the changing of guards ceremony again (which was cool by the way) and then walked til I reached the National Folk Museum. We didn't go there during our field trip last semester despite it being around the palace.



















Then I walked and walked, til I surprisingly reached Samcheong-dong. Yay! Its synonymous with Bukchon because they both preserve the Korean traditional landscape with Hanok villages which makes it a good tourist spot. I've been wanting to go there for a photowalk and to try one of the cafes too. :) The cafes and galleries around the area are so trendy and sophisticated but still most of them still maintain the Korean vibe so walking around is very relaxing and comforting. Hehe. I was able to try in Cafe 5Cijung which I will blog about later on. :)

























From today, Samcheong-dong is already one of my favorite places in Seoul. ♥

Bubblies in Seoul

Suyen, one of my closest college girlfriends, went to Seoul for the Holy Week along with her mom and aunt so we had arranged a day for us to meet. Of course we had to! :) However, since they were on a tour, they don't really have all the time by themselves because they have to follow the itineraries and the time schedule. However, its a good thing they had 63 Building as one of their itineraries since its nearer my area. Plus I would have the chance to visit the place for the first time too. Hehez :D























63 Building is located in Yeouido where you can also find a park which is just alongside the Han River. I kinda arrived early so I went to the park while waiting for them. There were lots of people walking around the place, children playing with their parents and even pets in the grassy fields, of course couples strolling around, group of friends biking and others who were just enjoying the view. I saw lots of cute kids playing, specially this little boy who even posed when I asked for his picture. Hihi :P


















When they arrived, I chose to just wait for them to finish the tour since I'm not a fan of museums and aquarium stuffs which is what you can actually see in the building. After they finished, I went with them for dinner, I was lucky that their tour guide was nice enough to let me come with them (and eat for free as well) until they get back at the hotel.
















I let Suyen try Makgeolli (막걸리) or Korean rice wine, then accompanied by a little (or a lot) girl bonding til we get hyped and all. Hehe

I left early in the morning to catch the Easter Mass where I'm supposed to read in. I was very glad realizing that we used to be together back in college struggling over our nursing life and now we're here in a different country catching up and reminiscing those good old days. Anyways, Happy Easter everyone! ;)
