Today, I’m a fan of the Korean people and I dream of the day when the Philippines can mimic the framework of South Korea in its path toward global progress. Kimchi didn’t taste good at first but I have learned to love it, in spite of my mother wanting to puke at the smell of it. It’s not everyday that we get to stay for 10 hours in South Korea. BoA has alrea...

ARCHIPELAGO MUSIC: Borderless Philippine Music: November 2008

http://archipelago-music.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
