Maingay na tinugtog ang gyobanggo isa sa mga uri ng buk (drum o tambol) ng Korea para pasimulan ang okasyon o seremonya para sa pagtatanghal para sa pagkilala sa ambag ni Kim Satgat sa literatura ng Korea. Mula sa wikipedia: Korean drums play an important part in traditional Korean music, ranging from folk music to royal court music . There are a wide variety of shapes and sizes, for use both in accompanying other instruments and in special drumming performances. In the traditional Korean classification of instruments, drums are grouped with the hyeokbu , or instruments made with leather. During the Joseon period, many types of drums were used for the royal court music, including the janggu , jwago , yonggo , gyobanggo , jingo , jeolgo , nogo , and others. Among these, the janggu was also used for folk music, and later became the most commonly used drum used in Korean music.

Unang LP Entry sa taong 2010... Tahimik, nagpapahinga at panandaliang nakaidlip si Zel Kim sa tabi ng malamig at banayad na umaagos na sapa ng Hwaseong Fortress mula sa mahaba at mataas na akyatan noong ikatlong Photowalk ng Filipino Photographers in South Korea ( FILIPOS ) nitong  nakalipas na Linggo 17 ng Oktubre. Siya ang kaunahang miyembro na Pilipinang nakapag-asawa ng Koreano dahil karamihan sa mga kasapi ay mga Pilipinong migrtanteng mangagagawang o di kaya mag-aaral.   Inaanyayahan ang mga Pilipino mahilig sa photography na nasa Korea na sumapi sa FILIPOS. Paanyaya pa rin para sa patimpalak ng Philippine Expats/OFW Blog Awards ( PEBA ) Photo Contest.

I have been caught up with school work and good thing I can still engage with other extracurricular activities which we volunteers fondly call our real major and minor – that of writing for Sulyapinoy , the Filipino migrant workers ( EPS – Employment Permit System ) newsletter  and as elected officer of the newly formed FILIPOS – Filipino Photographers in South Korea, our foto club which have been very active and even a chapter now established in the  city of Busan. So after several months of no blog post and what I have been doing the past of cutting and pasting from emails, today finaly, I have a new blog post.   This year’s nomination for the 2010 Pinoy Expat/OFW Blog Award (PEBA) is coming to an end. Only 14 days left as of writing and posting (16 October 2010). I have been wanting to post earlier having been requested to help advertise the event. It took me minutes to locate a previous draft now I can’t find it so I have to start from scratch. I was definitely p...

Below is an excerpt of the launching of the 2009 Pinoy Expat/OFW Blog Award PEBA: In its second year, PEBA will recognize Pinoy Expats and OFWs bloggers making a difference in their lives, workplace, community, the Philippines and the world in general. This year, the theme is: “Filipinos Abroad – Hope of the Nation, Gift to the World”. Cognizant and directly affected by the brunt of global financial crisis, Filipinos continue to anchor their hope and trust to their family members abroad as herald of better news and good tidings. Thus, reinforcing the OFWs and Filipino expats role and image as new heroes and saviors. PEBA also recognizes that Filipinos wherever they are, be it land-based, sea-based or air-based as the case maybe, are shining examples of dedication, diligence, and excellence in almost anything they do. It is not uncommon for them to be praised as assets to companies and organizations contributing to the social and economic well being of their host country. PEBA considers...
