The land of the morning calm

Genre: travel and tour

      Almost all of us have a dream, a dream tour, like a tour to Paris, United States of America, London, Japan and other country. A long journey including the visiting of a number of places in sequence, especially with an organized group led by a guide, is the best description for tour.

     Me? Of course I have a dream tour too, and it is to tour the land of the morning calm, the South Korea, but of course I’m  planning to tour our country first before it, but after that I am really dreaming my self going on a tour in Korea, Visiting one of their best places. I have heard that one of their best tourist attractions there is the island of jeju because of the beautiful view that it had. Some said that it is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It’s a popular honeymoon destination for Korean newlyweds. It has beautiful beaches and waterfalls that take one's breath away. It is a tropical paradise. That is why I want to see it too, personally, to prove those things that I have heard about it, because I believe in our saying that "To see is to believe."

 

   

Also, I want to taste their foods too, that is part of my dream too, to taste different kind of  Korean food that I have not been ate yet because here in the Philippines, I already have ate some Korean foods like: kimchi, kimbap, and bibimbap. I find their dish good although most of it is too spicy, but I still like it for some unknown reason.

    South Korea is not only famous because of their islands and food but also to their culture, especially in their Music, to tell you I am one of the people who like their music. I am a certified Korean pop fan also called as Kpopstan. I have a lot of Korean pop Idols, most of them are in a band just like EXO, 2NE1, BIGBANG, APINK, BANGTAN BOYS and GOT7. I am a fan of their music even I don’t understand it, because our language and their language is not the same, they use Korean while us is Filipino, but I still do some way to understand it.  I am trying to learn their language. That’s how much I like their music, but it does not mean that I am forgetting to like our own music because I still do. I am just amaze on how do Korean Gave their importance to their culture. I just hope that our country do the same as that.

    That is all that I want to tour in south Korea, to go visit jeju island, eat their best dishes and meet my Korean pop idol, see them perform live in stage. I hope that this dream tour of mine will happen someday.

Review: The Divergent

Genre: Books

    The story of this book entitled "Divergent" is about the A girl. A girl named Beatrice Prior. Who lived in a future version of Chicago where there are five distinct factions...?  Each faction’s thinks one virtue is best: Abnegation the selfless, Dauntless the brave, Erudite the intelligent, Candor the honest and Amity the peaceful. In this story, Once, a teenager reach the age of sixteen, they must choose a faction whom they think they belong, by conducting a test, it is either they will going to stay in their faction of birth or transfer into other faction. Beatrice choose the Dauntless because partly she does not feel to be a good Abnegation and the result of her test is showed that she is a Divergent means she does not really fit in with any one faction. Along, the way of her journey being part of the Dauntless, the faction of the braves, Beatrice Prior take a new nickname which is Tris and she also meets new people. There are new friends; likes Will, Christina, and Al; New mentor Eric; new enemies likes Peter and his Company; and also a new love interest Four. Tris need to complete all the initiation while hiding that she is a divergent. There is also a lot of challenges that she have faces in the story.

    Obviously, in this book or story the character that I like most is Beatrice Prior also known as Trice. I like her not only because she is the main character of the story, but also because she is brave, Intelligent and cool even if she is a girl. I like how she has been face all the challenges that she had faces. I really adore her because of that, I wish that I became like her someday. I also like how the writer of the story manipulates the readers mind by keeping them guessing about the thing that might happen in the next scenes of the story. This story grips me turning the pages of the book. I just can’t stop myself from reading it because of the curiosity about the ending of it. That is all I likes about this story.

   There are some points that I disliked about the story. Like its ending, I wish that the ending was not like that, a cliffhanger, I just found it frustrating because the middle part of the story is intense and really good just to have an ending like that.

   To summarize it all, this book is a good thriller book, mystery book and also a romance book. There are also a lot of lesson that you might learn in this book like: Importance of family, being an independent, how to face your fear and the importance of having a virtue. This book is good for younger reader, older reader and especially those readers that fan of mystery, thriller and romance genre of book like me.
