conquering the world

Do not interrupt me when I am talking to myself!

Yes! I think so… I’m too sexy for my shirt!

which is which? This is just a random. There are somthing in these photos. I see. I feel very annoyed, distracted. I feel so abnormal. I feel there’s something wrong.

what do you see in the picture? how do you see it?

how about this one?

Everyone calls me JAM. I got it from my first love. MUSIC. My real name is Joel. So I put Music and Joel together, Joel and Music, so JAM! But today, while browsing, I found this one. And I am so amazed.

Now, I think it’s not the music anymore… It’s Jesus. Aww… AM I sounding so Christian here. Napapaso ka na ba?

Recently, APPLE unveiled their latest IPAD, which is so enormous and has swept my life away in that very moment I saw it… but duh, just found out things… have said to my self… I am not going to have it unless someone would buy it for me…

I don’t want a big IPOD bigger than my face.

First, IPAD is not multitasking… meaning for example, you can’t use mp3 while doing other stuff. Second, IPAD has no usb port… which is aw!

It’s bluetooth (just like iphone and ipod) is just for it’s compatible accesories only and not for tranferring any file or data. The only way to transfer data is via internet.

It’s like buying MacBook Air that has no anything… just thin. Why do we have to be thin. Why do the whole world has to be thin and slim.

One thing I know, this semester, if not MacBook I will have MacPro!

Opo! Mga kabayan at kaibigan, kahapon po, January 31 ay opisyal na ang lahat. Tapos na po ang hiring. Nais ko pong pasalamatan si Ate Bechay (ang reyna ng mga bloggers sa Korea) na tumulong magpost ng trabahong iniaalok natin sa mga Pilipinang nagnanais ng trabahong marangal at maayos dito sa Korea.

Marami pong salamat sa mga tahimik na sumusubaybay sa blog na nagpahayag din ng pagtulong, hindi lamang sakin pati na din sa mga Pilipinang kakilala o kaibigan nila na nangangailangan ng trabaho. Nakatanggap po ako ng 46 na emails, 34 na tawag, at ilan din mga comments sa blog. Salamat sa mga kablogs at sa Seoulite na sumuporta po sa atin.

Ang atin pong natulungan ay isang kababayan natin na nakatira sa Paju. Dalawang taon na po na natapos ang kanyang visa. Kanina ay kasama ko siya naghapunan sa bahay. Maligaya po ako at talagang komportable s’ya at maayos ang lahat sa kanya duon. Alam naman natin na ang mga Pilipina ay isa sa pinakamagagaling na kasama sa bahay. Sa unang personal na interview pa lamang nya ay minahal na sya ng kanyang employer. Kanina ay nagluto pa sya ng “banana cake.”  Kanya lamang, sana nag “banana Q’ na lang sya…

Samantalang ang ating pangalawang natulungan ay nasa PIlipinas na. Siya po ay tubong MIndoro. Ngayon po ay kasama nya ang pamilya ng kanyang employer na naglalakbay sa gitnang bahagi ng Pilipinas. Maligaya po ako na tinanggap ang tulong na ito, ang tulong na tanging alam ko na maiibigay sa ating mga kababayan sa Korea.

Nagpapasalamat po ako sa Diyos sa mabubuting tao na binigay nya sa aking buhay dito sa Korea. Ang ikakaganda po ng buhay natin ay nasa atin din. Depende po sa ating desisyon. Depende po sa ating diskarte. Depende po sa ating prinsipyo.

Minsan, mas maligaya ka kapag ikaw ang tumutulong at natatanggap ang tulong na iyong binibigay. Walang katumbas ang kaligayahan na makita mong mayroon kang natulungan. Tulong tulong tayo mga kabayan.

I LOVE OEM, the Onnuri English Ministry, the Seobinggo or YangJae. Guys and Gals, Dr. Eddie Byun is the Head Pastor. The man is so gifted and really a great speaker, a life changing one…

About Onnuri, everything is available whether on prints or on web! Even Dr. Byun’s preaching is over youtube and podcast and he’s even running his own blog.

Onnuri is one if not the best church we have not only in Korea but to the whole world.

Here’s their website: http://www.onnurienglish.org/

and I need shades! It’s so bright! I can’t see na nga eh, too bright!

is… to HURT YOU! It’s the last thing! The least thing I guess.

Yes, it is! YES!

You might fall in love with me! That’s a warning!

I am now very much convinced! What do you think?

Are girls evil? Does this mathematical equation make sense?

Dear Me, You are the sexiest thing that has ever walked this earth. Love, Me.

Yes! So loving my iphone. Itwit at iphone too. Exploring my iphone had me dowloaded so far, 64apps… 4 slides eh. So, here I’d like to share some photos I got at iphone… I call iphone ilove.

I am a certified, DOVE boy… I am Mr. Dove.

I love Dove. I buy Dove. I use Dove. I long for Dove.

Everything, anything, when it’s too  much or over, is bad. Have things in moderation. This is what I learned last week for three days, because I so missed Philippine’s seafood, so I ate alot of raw oyster in a chili sause, like a lot! A cup of oyster. So I went food poisoned and got sick for three freakin’ days… and had this bunch of med to take. Just for food poisoning ah, had to take 3 caps and 3 tabs, everyafter meal all at once. My friend told me never eat seafoods again especially in Korea! Korea is not like Philippines. Korea is not a place for seafoods! Huh??

I am so feeling well now. Thanks to all my doctors. That time I called my doctor who is running their own hospital in the very heart of Bupyeong circle (which Hospital so friendly to foreigners, not only becaus ethey speak English but specially treating foreigners and gives even free medical service, especially for Filipinos), they were having a meeting with all the medical people going to a Medical Mission trip to Cambodia. I had two checked up then, one a med doctor and one an oriental doctor.

Yes, they’re on SALE! NII on SALE! I so heart NII!

It’s so QUALIFIED! I feel SO qualified! NII QUALIFIED is so qualified.

And my dream silver high cut shoes!

Why oh my! When you want to save, the more you throw money away… I so hate my clumsiness.

I was in the ice rinks in Ganghwamun circle, while doing my narcissistic mode, I got so clumsy and had the camera fell down on the hard ice rinks and made it looked like this..

It looked like this, ON and OFF. I could use it except transferring date mode. I tried much to put the lens back, push it down… hopefully to have it back to normal and it’s all too late. So I hate clumsiness.

Everything is fine except that not moving layers of lens… So I decided to run to Gangnam, where one of the 3 Olympus A/S centers in the whole South Korea is located! It is located just the next building to CGV Gangnam. I explained what happened and I don’t think the lens is broken. So I told them, knowing that the lens is expensive, that if they could just save the lens and put my camera back, it would be great… I said, I don’t have money… I AM A STUDENT!

But duh, after 3 days, I got this message!!!!

올림푸스한국 입니다.수리 완료되었습니다금액은 83,600입니다.감사합니다.

OUCH! Anyway, here are the first batch of photos I got after getting back my Olympus with the brand new lens…

I want this sign… at home and to every home out there…

It says,

CHRIST is the HEAD of this house;

The UNSEEN GUEST at every meal;

The SILENT LISTENER to every conversation.

One day, isang araw…

I recieved, natanggap ko…

One box, isang kahon… a nice kahon! Isn’t it?

I was happy, masaya ako…

so I thank the giver… sasalasalamat ako!

I was so excited, ano bang tagalog ng excited?? Basta excited ako.

I closed my eyes, pinikit ko mga mata ko…

I opened the box, bunuksan ko ang kahon…

I opened my eyes, minulat ko mata ko…

(wow, Filipino has two meaning when we say the word “open” one is bukas and one is mulat)

and to my surprise, at sa aking kagulatan…

the box, ang kahon…

has, may…

PUTO! Korean puto! Dilaw na puto!

Juice ko! Puto lang pala. Ikinahon pa!

Have you ever got one, a korean puto in a beautiful box!

Nak ng puto di ba?

Infairness, it’s yummy. I told you, I am into puto!

these what I got on our way back from Gangwondo…. Isn’t it stunning?

(the giant windmills in a great white line over the mountains…)

I am thinking, since I like posting random stuff, stuff that are great, I may join twitter. I’d like to live in a connection. We are created connected. I am pro connection and networking. I think God loves connection. So through my i-phone, i-connect, so i-twitter!

I just came back to the reality and now, I am marinading the meat for my special adobo tomorrow for my special South African girfriend’s beeday… I feel so honored to be asked to cook in their house for her birthday, so I rushed down EMart the moment I stepped my feet in Seoul… and tonight, I will sleep with this smell.

besides taking photos whenever I am alone… I, whenever I check in a Hotel or Motel or Inn or Pension or Mansion, I do this…

I take a bath in the tub… Really! Kahit saan! I always ask if they have a bath tub… That’s so why, I am going to put a big bath tub in my own bathroom in my own pad! I don’t know, I just enjoy it. First, I clean the tub, then put the right (warmer) water temp, then put some ornaments, or aromatic soap, or bubbling stuff, and then soak my body in… and stay for atleast 30minutes, so I take an hour taking a bath…

Now people shouldn’t wonder why it takes me really long time… Masama ba?

For the record, my 7th times! I heart Gyeongpo Beach! I heart Gangwon-do! now, let me show you more of the Beach with my NII Black Winter Jacket! For your eyes only!

and now to give you more reason to love Gyeongpo Beach, here’s some of what I got!

…there’s a touch of amuzement, amazingly man-made…

…there’s a balance of nature, of technology, and of facilities…

…and had finer sand and warmer temnperature, you’ll think you’re in Bora…

…clean and in order… peaceful, quiet, and lovely…Gyeongpo Beach.

Welcome to Gyeongpo Beach…
