Fotos/video (wow those kids dances so well!) taken during at the Honamdong Christmas party. Migrant workers, Filipinas married to Koreans and their children performed during the program hosted by Caritas Gwangju. I was asked to do the task of an MC with my co-host Rexy. A white wind breaker was given to the workers with the maple leaf and Canada emblazoned at the back then people had the best pinoy dishes catered for the buffet. It was fun but now, at work, at the eve of Christmas with Christmas card from my sister and her fotos, and package from my beloved, can’t help but feel blue… the sky is blue, not a white Christmas this time. Looking forward on Wednesday 26 December to do our (office) share of a day to help with the oil-spill clean up at Tean. Got to be happy! happy... merry? merry... it is Christmas! MERRY CHRISTMAS ! Below is a post at my friendster account: Feeli'n Blue with a non-white Christmas because the sky is blue - hehehe... Merry Christmas Folks... I've been ...

Fighting ! first post at NANOWRIMO Forum

Below is my first posting to Korea and Philippines Regional fora. Well today, I was able to accomplish a bit beyond the day’s quota. I feel good about it. I have 15,697 words as a balance since my output is only 7,641 of the desired 23,338. I never been these numerically conscious since I am suppose to play with words but with Nanowrimo I have to compute, add and subtract. I am not sure where my words are going and added up to since I am here in Korea now but I made both countries ( Korea and Philippines as my regions). I just discovered the widget for my word count to put in my blog as well. Also found that in the word count score board Philippines is ranked 102 with a total of 955,460 words and some 35 dollars donation Korea where I am now is at number 225 with total words of 337,268 and zero donation. Oh by the way, anyone into erotic fiction here? Anyone into i-google? If you have gmail account then sign up for it and be sure to have mapmyworddictionary apps – it is...

October Picket at the Burmese Embassy

Image
My colleague reminded me that my pix appeared in an online publication during the picket last October at the Burmese Embassy. The article is in Korean though. "몇푼 이익에 버마 군부와 손잡은 한국 기업들, 즉각 철수하라" "버마에 평화를"…주한 버마 대사관 앞 기자회견 열려 2007-10-02 오후 5:14:26 "프리, 프리! 버마, 버마!" 2일 낮 서울 한남동 버마 대사관 앞. 구호를 외치는 100여 명의 버마인과 이들을 지지하는 국내 사회인권단체 활동가들의 목소리가 뜨거웠다. 국내 대다수의 언론이 같은 시간 진행되던 남북정상회담에 이목을 집중하고 있던 때, 이곳에서는 버마(미얀마)에서 여전히 자행되고 있는 군정의 인권유린을 규탄하는 기자회견이 열렸다. 이날 기자회견에는 NLD(버마민족민주동맹) 한국지부, 버마행동 등으로 구성된 버마 국민운동 촉진위원회(가칭)를 비롯해 국내 120여 개 사회인권단체 관계자들이 참석했다. "한국 기업들, 몇푼 이익에 연연하지 말라" ▲ ⓒ프레시안 이들은 기자회견문에서 "버마의 민주화를 위해서는 무엇보다도 국제사회의 실효성있는 압박이 절실하다"며 "특히 버마에 대해 영향력을 미치고 있는 중국과 인도 당국이 군부정권에 대한 지지와 지원을 철회하고, 버마 민중들을 위한 적극적인 조치를 취할 것을 촉구한다"고 밝혔다. 이들은 "특히 중국정부가 지금까지의 태도처럼 바마사태에 대해 미온적인 태도로 일관한다면, 내년에 예정된 베이징 올림픽 보이코트를 비롯해 다양한 중국반대운동을 전개할 것임을 경고한다"고 밝혔다. 이들은 한국 정부에 대해서도 "한국 정부는 버마 민주화 운동에 대한 적극적이며 공개적인 지지를 천명하는 것은 물론, 군부독재정권을 압박하기 위...
