My Sakura Fantasy

"Sakura" is the japanese term for cherry blossoms. I wasn't able to visit the cherry blossoms in Korea last spring coz I was too early for it last March, but I was just in time for the cherry blossoms festival in Washington, D.C. when I arrived there during the first week of April. Lucky me! There were parades, hotdog and pretzel stands on every street corners, and people from different places and races were there for the said event.

My childhood friend, Stanley and I spent the entire five hours strolling along the long stretch of D.C., and I actually never felt tired nor hungry. I guess we were too busy taking pictures, admiring the view, people watching and catching up with old times.

Favorite Things I did when I was in Virginia:

1. Visit Shilla Bakery! It's a Korean bakeshop that serves the yummiest pastries in town! It really lives up to the Korean style in baking, "look good and taste good!"

2. Eat at Ara. Again, a korean bar and restaurant which serves good food and not to mention they have a lot of good looking customers. Mostly American-Koreans!

3. Malls. As expected, whenever I visit a country I never fail to visit their shopping malls and practice my shopping skills! My favorite stores? H&M, Zara, Forever21, Charlotte Russe and Urban Outfitters to name a few.

4. Eat Avocado Egg rolls at Cheesecake Factory. I know they also have branches in other states but it's in Virginia where I had my first Cheesecake Factory memory:)



5. Spent lots of time with Twinkle.:)

Thanks to Tito Dan and Family for welcoming me in their home during my few days stay in Virginia. I feel so happy and blessed to have them.

Seoul Food!

HyunJae and I can't seem to get enough of this delicious chicken which we ate while drinking soju and watching Hugh Jackman fight off his enemies in Wolverine. It's the first time I ate chicken without any gravy, ketchup or other condiments that go well with it. And based on HyunaJae's reaction to the chicken(picture1), you can say we finished the whole thing! I tried ordering the same chicken in a Korean resto near my home in Ortigas, but it's not quite the same. Can't wait to go back to Seoul to have more of those chickens! U can say "mashita" indeed!


Nothing beats a hot serving of Kalbichim with steamed rice after a day of shopping! Hyunjae brought me to this cozy Korean Restaurant in Insadong. Bulgogi is also one of my favorite Korean dish. During my visit to my boyfie's home, his mom cooked the most delicious Bulgogi I ever had! Perhaps it's best eaten with people close to your heart.:)
