Stress can really bring on the pimples. My friends have been comparing how many and how big their pimples are because of sleepless nights and anxieties over the final examinations and term papers. When you think all these are behind you when you graduated from college, you decide to get a master’s degree, then all these experiences come back again. One of my friends has taken to trying different products for acne skin treatment in order for the pesky pimples to disappear, but to no avail. Maybe when we come back from a much needed spring break, their faces might be pimple free again.
My friends and I bought travel insurance for our trip to China. If it were up to me, I would not have thought about it. I guess I am not used to travelling abroad that is why I never thought about the need for insurance when travelling. However, one of my companions is a seasoned traveller and he always buys insurance when he travels, so I decided to get one also. I searched the web for insurance quotes then called the local travel agency where we bought our tickets, to check if they sell insurance and how much. It turned out that their rates did not differ significantly from those on the web, especially if you take into account the conversion rate fee charged by the credit card. Since I was going to the area where the agency was located, I decided to drop by their office and bought the insurance. Then, they emailed us our policy numbers and the link to the website where we can check our policy. Unfortunately, we cannot open the site even though we had filled out the required fields so we will have to call the agency to ask about it.
Living in the dormitory can be an adventure. Just imagine almost 40 girls sharing the use 2 shower and wash room cubicles. During the weekends when it is the cleaning lady’s days off, the shower and wash rooms become so dirty like a pigsty. The sinks are coloured cream so the dirt really shows, maybe if they change these to copper sinks then it dirt would not show so much. Then there are the shower stalls where people just leave behind their used cottons or sanitary napkin peelings. You wonder how some people can be so irresponsible when they are more than old enough to know better. Another nuisance that you expect in dormitory life is the sound of loud voices and running feet early in the morning or late at night. If it were not so cheap and convenient, then I would certainly not think twice about moving away.
Etong tulay na to ay natatagpuan sa Seoul Olympic Park. Iniisip namin nung kaibigan ko kung ito ba yung tulay sa “All About Eve” na series kung saan sumisigaw sa hangin yung bida na babae habang nakatingin sa kanya yung bidang lalake.
(This bridge can be found in Seoul Olympic Park. My friend and I were wondering if it was the bridge in the “All About Eve” series where the lead actress was shouting to the wind while the lead actor looked on.)
I really have fun during our Taekwondo classes. Our teacher makes us do different kinds of exercise. Some are more taxing than the others but they fun to do. Last week I was very surprised when he made us practice jumping on the trampoline. I have never done it before so I found myself enjoying it so much. Sometimes the teacher makes us do different hopping or stepping exercises on five blocks arranged in a single line. These exercises are the ones I find very hard to do. I easily lose my breath. We have not tried Kettlebell yet but we had a game of dodge ball as part the exercise. It is really exciting to attend Taekwondo classes because you never know what will happen every time.
