Jinhae Gunhangje Festival 2012

Yay!  KTO has just updated the events taking place in Spring!  Jinhae Cherry Blossom is one of the highlights for my upcoming trip.  Can't wait for the announcement on 2012 schedule for Cherry Blossom in Korea  ^^  Its amazing how the Japanese and Koreans can forecast the blooming schedule for Cherry Blossom.

As updated by KTO,

• Jinhae Gunhangje (Cherry Blossom) Festival will take place from 1 April - 10 April
• Nonsan Strawberry Festival will take place from 13 April - 15 April

Although there are quite a number of reviews that Nonsan Strawberry Festival is nothing much, but more like an expo instead of strawberry farms around the festive grounds.  Whatever it is , I still want to check it out  ^^

My current favourite drama is 부탁해요 캡틴 ^^    지진희 Ji Jin-Hee was never my favourite actor but because of this drama, he made it top to my list of favourite Korean artists!   ㅎㅎㅎ  The other character that I liked in this drama is the little girl, Han Da-Yeon.  Her real name was Kal So-Won 갈소원.  Omggggg, she is just so soooo adorable!!

Although this drama is not the usual romance comedy that I like, but I think this is a very interesting drama.  Well, at least for a start as I am only into the 5th episode.  Hope it doesn't have too much sad scenes as the story goes on... Ever since I started watching this drama, I am even more appreciative of the hard work put in by each and everyone who makes the flight journey safe and smooth.   

Kkottongnae - "Flower Village" in Korea

Korea was featured in the first episode of "The Activist Journey II".  Click here Big Heart; Big Love at Kkotongnae to view this local program.

I missed this program as I was doing overtime over the weekends.  Fortunately, I can view the program at "Catch-Up TV" from xinmsn...    Its heart wrenching to see people suffering in different parts of the world, but at the same time, there are also people wasting resources in some other parts of the world...

Last month, I visited my friend during Chinese New Year.  All the lighting, air conditioning and fans were switched on but nobody was using them.  Her parents were around, otherwise I would have told her off.

We are too fortunate and take things for granted easily....I must also constantly remind myself not to take things for granted..

Although those vagrants in the video did not have a place where they can call home, and can barely feed themselves but they are not stingy in giving some money to those who are worse off than them.   This spirit of giving touch my heart.   It is indeed a great blessing to be able to give and share.   

I notice the founder of Kkottongnae cultivates loving kindness to all, regardless of who the person is.   It doesn't matter who you are, where you are from and what religion you believe in.  All it takes, is a big heart to give unconditional love to all, and see everyone as an equal individual with no judgements involved.   However, this is not easy at all.   People who needs help does not need people to pity them.  All they need is a helping hand and respect to get them back on their feet.
