Free Saturday went to Filipino International Church

By -

 So dahil nga wala ung mga student namin this weekend, ibig sabihin wala din kaming church service dito sa campus namin. Monday pa ng gabi babalik ang mga student so medyo mahaba habang weekend to.


Umalis kami sa campus 9am na, tapos nag lakad lang kami pa punta sa highway para mag hintay ng bus pa punta sa Subway station. Medyo matagal ung waiting time ng bus kasi madalang lang ung bus dumaan dito. 

Anyway, pag dating namin ng Subway station, nag transfer pa kami ng ibang subway line, kasi papunta kaming Seoul particularly malapit sa Samhyook Health compound, malapit lang dun ung Filipino International Church, hindi ko ma remember ung name ng location.  Mahina talaga ako sa location name.

Pero mga pass 10:30am na kami  nakarating sa church... patapos na rin ung lesson review nila so, hindi na rin kami naki join sa discussion, understand naman nila kung bakit kami na late kasi medyo malayo kami sa church, pero kasalanan parin namin kasi hindi kami umalis ng maaga,. hahahah

After ng lessons review, meron silang health lecture bago mag end ang Sabbath School program. Then right after nag start na rin ang Divine service. Ang speaker nila ay Korean Pastor na babae, medyo struggle sya sa English pero pwede na rin. Need mo lang talaga intindihin ung pronunciation.

Mga 12:20pm na siguro natapos ung worship kasi medyo late na rin nag start. Then after ng sermon dun na rin kami kumain kasi merong birthday celebration. Nakakamiss ung napapaligiran ka ng mga pinoy, tapos feel at home ka, na parang nasa Pinas lang rin. Heheheh... for sure babalik ako dun pag free ako dito sa school.

After ng eat namin ng lunch, tumakas na kami., hahaha (eat and run) pumunta kami sa kabilang church na merong missionary Kila ate Sheryl. Dun kami tumambay at umidlip na rin para pag ka sunset mag gagala kami around Yongson area. Tapos bumili ng iPhone 15 pro si Ate Sheryl. Apaka yaman talaga... mga 1,180,000 KWon yata ang price. Hindi ko sure, pero deserve naman nya un, at saka pera nya ung eh... so wala tayo paki dun. hahahaha

Nag dinner na rin kami sa Mall... hahaha apaka sarap ng Cubes Beef Stake yata tawag dun... mura lang naman sya 12,900KWon tapos nag convert ako sa Peso mga around 700... hahaha okay lang yan masarap naman.. Hahahahah kanya kanya kami bayad kasi alam ko hindi sila rich kid. So dapat mag bayad tayo oi. Wag free loader. hahahaha

Thanks for reading, see you again.  Stay tune sa Diary ng Gwapo sa Korea (DGK) more stories to come...

Korean Wedding Unexpected Reunion

 Today, is my first time to witness a Korean Wedding program, and it is also a reunion at the same time. Shin Hyunjin is a nursing student from Sahmyook Health University. Then together with their group they had a mission trip in the Philippines way back year 2018. Because of AUP-Community Extension Service Office, I was able to become a volunteer and help them with communicating to the community people and coordinating the event place for medical mission. When I arrived here in Korea, I communcated with the Mission Trip 2018 people and fortunately Hyunjin will be getting married soon. So he invited me to attend his wedding. And of course I accepted the invitation because I am free during Sundays. And it will be my first ever Korean Wedding to attend. So earlier today at 7am I go down to the cafeteria to re-heat the food that ate Melody gave. But i found out that Jipsanim was there cooking food for us. I thought there will be no food today because it's Sunday and all of the student...

 I wanna compile my experience here in South Korya, marami nakakatawa experiences and new learnings. Ito yung time na di ko inakala makakarating ako ng Korea. Hindi ko sure if okay ba mag Tagalog nalang ako dito sa story ko or English ba? hahaha mas madali kasi mag kwento pag Tagalog. I'm gonna start this story right here at Incheon Airport . But if you want me to share how I ended up here, I’ll write another blog for that—about my missionary journey here in Korea . Our flight was on May 21, 2025 , and I think it was around 7:00 AM . Of course, we had to be at the airport much earlier to settle the travel tax and pass through immigration. We left Silang, Cavite at around 1:30 AM , and we arrived at the airport by 3:00 AM . Most of us were new to traveling abroad—except for Ate Charisse . After we weighed our luggage, we headed straight to the check-in counter to begin the process. I was picked up at the airport by Teacher Kwon (Social Studies Teacher) and Teacher Melody (co-miss...

Dahil 1 month na ako dito sa Korea, pwde ko na masabing routine na to, kasi na gets ko na ung everyday life ko dito or yung Daily Routine, unlike first 2 weeks ko, medyo nangangapa pa ako. During my first week, early wake up ako talaga, mga around 5am nag aalarm na ako para mag prepare ng self. Kunting emote emote lang, tapos prayer then basa kunti ng devotional book then shower na agad, tapos prepare na sa sarili for the go outside, kasi hindi ako na orient ano oras ang wake up call, ano gagawin sa morning or what not.  Basta, gising lang ako maaga para mag observe, plakado hitsura ko pa-impress kunwari, parang everytime na lalabas ako sa room ko parang may event lagi, naka tint ang moisturizer, may shade din ang sunscreen, tapos naka lip balm, naka ayos ang kilay tapos ung buhok maayos na para bang dinilaan ng kalabaw sa sobrang ayos. 1st and 2nd week merong wake up call ng 6:20am then jogging at 6:30am, akala ko for the normal routine ito, hindi pala... na realized ko na prepara...
