Sunny Summer

It's finally summer season in Korea! And it's really hot! I think it's even hotter than my homeland - the Philippines. There is not much difference in the temperature but it's in the air. The air is so dry here that you still feel warm even if you hide under a shade. In the Philippines, just find a shade to cool yourself with the wind. The duration of the day here has also been extended since the sun now rises at 5AM and setting usually around 8PM - that is around 15 hours of daytime. I haven't experienced that quite long of a day in the Philippines. Speaking of the Philippines, two weeks from now, I will finally get to have my summer break back in my homeland. After almost a year of stay here, it really feels good to go home. I will be home for a month! Yes, a month of free from work stresses to be with my family. I miss Pinas... can't wait to get back home. In preparation of my summer break, I have been quite busy with my work this past few weeks. This is one reason I wasn't able to write an entry in my blog for quite a while now.

Latest Obra
My wife was recently hired as a part-time english tutor by the proprietor of a small Kid’s Art Academy. It's only twice a week but at least she gets to have some time to go out while Danielle gets free lessons in the kids art school. There are lots of extra-curricular academies here in Korea of which English and Art are one of the major subjects. Below are two of Danielle's artworks. Sometimes, she draws quite very well but sometimes just pure rubbish. Still his latest masterpiece are respectable. The first is a portrait of her Mom who was standing above her when she sat down on the table. The other piece is some kind of a sea creature... probably a mermaid but more like a muppet character. ^^

Today is the birthday of my sweet wife. I hope and pray that she continues to stay healthy and strong for our family. We love you babes! We will have a small salo-salo at an eat-all-you can barbecue restaurant near our place. It’s really a simple place but enough to enjoy the company of our friends. Besides I don't want to let her cook today since it’s her special day.
