The Gozum Show

Year 2018.

The whole year was in limbo. It was a rediscovery of things that I can and should do. It was a bit of a year where understanding of one’s self is essential in moving on with life. It was like taking out the weeds and making sure that the seeds are being planted in better soil.

Year 2019.

We are trying to grow the seeds into a better fruit-bearing plant. This year we will try to be…

There was once a man who clearly stumbled. He saw the obstacle but he didn’t pay it no mind. While going on his way, he, again, stumbled. It was the same obstacle as before. Without any injury in sight, he continued on his way.

This happened multiple times. With injuries so minor that he didn’t even pay attention. But there were so many minor injuries that it looked like a major injury. It was…

Was there ever a moment where you’re in a place that is so beautiful you cannot help but be teary-eyed? That’s how I felt with Everland. From it’s beautiful landscape, thrilling rides, up to its lazy pandas, the place was just so beautiful. I conquered this golden roller coaster. And met this really sloppy panda. This must only be the place where there are friendly and goofy horror characters. I…

I have always believed that spring is my favorite season. There is something about the wind blowing and cherry blossoms dancing in the air. Then again, nothing in life is easy. When you are presented with this view, life could never be the same again. I fell in love with autumn. It’s like a child’s coloring gone awry. There’s a sense of comfort in the fact that these green leaves are now orange,…

Last time I was here, I had the wrong decision of booking for an atrocious budget accommodation. This time, I said, I wouldn’t subject myself to such situation ever again.  So, I waited and asked this amazing deal at K-Grand Hostel near Sangwangsimni Station. This neighborhood isn’t a stranger to me.  So, here I am, preparing breakfast which I don’t usually do because I love sleeping in.

First, I would like to comment Cebu Pacific Air because the flight arrived 40 minutes early. My problem of getting to Seoul via cheapest alternative just became feasible. Then, to Shinhan Bank for awesome exchange rates.  I remember what the head flight crew said during landing, “If Incheon is your destination, welcome home.” I suddenly felt all giddy inside.  It was a busy couple of weeks and I…

I am gonna leave my normal life for now.  This is probably the only trip, so far, that I am taking just for the sake of escape. I am leaving the worries behind and return with a rejuvenate feeling and a clear mind. So help me. Can’t wait to be back in my second home. 한국! 진짜 보고십다!

  Taken at: Gozum Residence in Marikina City, Philippines I already started packing but I couldn’t finish yet because I am so preoccupied with work. Also, weather in Seoul has been fluctuating so I couldn’t decide which clothes to bring yet.
