It was my first time to attend a conference in Korea and it was a KAMALL Conference ( The Korea Association of Multimedia-Assisted Language Learning). I and my other mates in CAU (Chung Ang University) participated in the e-Poster category. Well, honestly, it wasn't really clear for me what exactly I was supposed to do there although my professor had explained it to me as thorough as she could. Maybe, it was due to the fact that I couldn't get a clear picture of what was really expected from me, from us. Days before the conference, some were telling that I might need to prepare some powerpoint presentation or some sheets to show my project. But, I just relied on what my professor told me, and of course, my professor was always right. I asked Sunny, one research assistant, about what to wear or what to bring for that day but she just told me in a cold voice that her mind is preoccupied by her presentation and that she needed to hang the phone up. Anyway, all is well that ends well. The conference was done. The five of us kept talking to strangers for about 2 to 3 hours.I wasn't in a group, I've done my project solely so I had to talk nonstop. I was expecting that I could explain my project like how I came up with it and what were the processes that went through. But all of the people who came to scrutinize didn't had the time to listen and prefer to hear only the findings, the benefits, the effectiveness of our project which I think I have failed to answer. I wasn't really satisfied with my project and along I really want to somehow find a way to make it better and more useful. That day, after 9 months of not wearing high heels, I hardly walked myself home. Again, all is well...that ends well.Friday, 12 November 2010

The TUBE
This is not an international airport. This is Seoul, Korea's subway line no. 9. Buckle up! ( for surprises)
A Short Walk
I was only planning to get out from my room and find some place where I can get some fresh air near my university. Unfortunately the nearest spot where I could go to was the old, small park in Yongsan which was formerly a golf course for US military base. I asked my honey to meet me in Ichon Station and take a walk with me while we whisper our hopes and dreams for each other. It was almost dark when we came there, but we had to walk a little further to reach Yongsan park. On our way there, the national museum met us. We didn't realize that it was located near the park where we were supposed to go to. The national museum was so beautiful and attractively wide surrounded by dramatic,magnificent lights. She was gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! The night was a bit chilly and quiet and I could only see two or three people visiting the place except for some cynical looking guards. It was a perfect night for couples and I certainly got what I wanted. A breathe of fresh autumn air.
