Weekend getaway to Sok-cho & Jeong-Dong Jin

I went to 속초 (Sok-Cho) and 정동진 (Jeong-Dong Jin)

last weekend and it was a b.l.a.s.t

never realized how clean the water was and sand was beau-ty-full.

You gotta go to Sok-Cho beach during Summer.

I went there one tempo late, but still it was so worth it

that I promised myself to come here once again before winter.

Winter beach is also romantic, but Sok-cho

is located east-side Korea....

which means it snow ALOT and it would be very difficult to drive there.

But I think it would be still wonderful yet challenging to see

snow covering the beach.

On the way to Sok-cho.

one of the unique 휴계소 that have swings.

It was quite an exercise to move the swing by myself.

(If you are going to Sok-cho,

please do stop by at Young-Geum Jeong,

which has great landmark of Korean pavillion

that usually is built on top of a mountain)

Now it's Sok-cho beach

God is amazing..

Now, you gotta visit

Haslla Art Museum, which is about 30min. - 45min away

from Sok-cho. Haslla Art Museum has an outdoor

sculpture park and indoor art gallery.

I didn't have a chance, but I think it would be great to spend

a night at Haslla Hotel as well. The food.... is not recommended at the Haslla restaurant.

The sculpture park closes early during winter days,

so please go there early enough so that you can take

lots of photos with your precious one.

\\

Everything will be alright....

Cast down all your worries before God, who can

actually make a way for you when you pray.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that He gave his one and only Son,

that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but

have eternal life.

Feeling Fuchsia

Today is the first day of the last week of August 2013.

I don't know why...but I feel like fuchsia today,

if that makes any sense.

( photos taken since last year in Korea. Every single photo has a 
story behind it...but today I just want to keep silence. )

On an ordinary day in Korea

August. 2013

maybe on 10th or 12th.

One day, one of my co-workers and I were heading home together.

We boarded on a subway, and started to chat.

As usual, Seoul metro was making its big noise as it

trailed on its way, we both grabbed the handle above our heads.

Suddenly, she took off her hands off from the handle by her surprise

and said, "there's a spiky things on the handle".

I could not hold off my laugh seeing spiky bumps on the handle, 

just that ONE that my co-worker grabbed.

Nothing else, but just that ONE.

I thought it's pretty cute idea for people on a subway

to massage themselves while they are commuting...

without anyone noticing.

Heading to subway station in Jeongja.

It was beautiful sunlight hitting every surfaces after a month-long monsoon.

Walking to Sun-Reung station from Samsung Station.

It's just a street, but I love this street walking at night.

Cheon-gye chun (near Seoul station).

Captured the exciting moment in a bus

on my way to Busan trip.

Desserts in Korea

It's dessert time!

I wasn't aware of how many dessert pictures I took for the past few months

while I was organizing photos taken from my phone!

Do not think that dessert is famous in Europe or in Japan,

but it's magnificiently super awesome in Korea as well!

becasue we have red-ben ice shaves (팥빙수)

Lot of Koreans l.o.v.e. coffee and I am also a big fan of

americano over a banana bread.

Kate Spade launched "SATURDAY"

 

 

What a whimsical word of Saturday that

Kate Spade NY chose and made another branch for girls to

wear casual but on hot trend line.

 

Love their print and vivid colros.

makes me want to wear and go out on Saturday picnic.

 

I have captured from www.saturday.com website.

such a cute domain they bought.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

comment* i also like the grid of their website.

it's simple, and interesting looks how the lines go through

the picture as well but not distracted.



Just a few months ago..

It's time to say good bye to a long lasted 2012-winter friend.

The temperature started to soar up and didn't have enough time to 

enjoy spring at all..where did Spring go?....

Ever since, a clean/minimal design kicked in USA TODAY,

I have been fan of the media. It's so easy to read and absorb important news

while I am heading to work. 

The past winter, I have captured several news clip while I was reading it,

so that it becomes one of my "record-breaking news library".

2012 winter had recorded so many things in terms of snow, massive wave,

earthquakes, and many other mother nature disaster.

I hope to hear good news this year though!!

May God watches over this land and people.
