Kangwon National University - My Master's Degree University

Hello mga chingu! Annyeong haseyo, my friends! How have you been? It's been a long time, I know. Well, I became really busy. Life as a Graduate Student is never easy. But now, I want to update you of everything~ bit by bit. I entered Kangwon National University last March 2, 2022 (Spring Semester). At first, everything seemed so nice and easy. ahahahahaha! until, I felt pressured to learn everything in a short period of time. I need more TIME. Why? Because my subjects are ALL IN KOREAN . I know Korean, I can speak conversational korean, but " ACADEMIC KOREAN"?! NO!  It's my struggle. I have 수질화학 (water chemistry) course and it's all in korea. Chemistry itself is already hard plus reading it in Korean? My head just hurts!!! But by God's mergy, grace and overflowing blessings and strength, I somehow managed to pass my Spring Semester. Thank you, Lord! Pictures of Kangwon National University: KNU at night (near my laboratory) Beautiful traditional house Just me!...

Hello everyone! I am back. I was really busy for the past months because I was so focused on my studies and preparing for the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) Exam. So here I am again to guide you in your journey also to becoming a future Global Korea Scholarship awardee. My question for you is - ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT THIS? It is not all about KOREA - it is about YOU , your dreams. How much do you want it and are you willing to pay the price? My story: (I am not saying that what I experienced here will be your experience too, just sharing hehe) We are now here in South Korea - ready to live the dream!!! Excited to pursue my Master's Degree but wait. . . FIRST, you need to pass the TOPIK II Exam .😅😅😅 Okay, so we are doing the Korean Language Classes. At first, it really looked sooooo exciting! - New faces, new country, new friends, new food, ALL NEW . And honestly speaking I thought the Korean language was easy. Why? because when you watch K-dramas, everything you hear is li...

GKS-G 2020 - VISA APPLICATION HAS RESUMED!

Hello, Everyone! Welcome to my blog. As you all know, we, the 2020 GKS-G SCHOLARS were still in the Philippines due to COVID-19 Pandemic. Most of us resigned their respective jobs already after knowing that we were selected as scholars for the final round. I was one of those who resigned immediately, in preparation for South Korea.🇰🇷 Sadly, I had no job in the past 6 months. I relied on my online tutorial services and music serenades to live. Now, the long wait has ended. The time has come. The Korean Embassy in the Philippines now allows GKS Scholars to process D4 Visas. Only GKS. No EPS Workers and other regular student visas. We are very thankful for this exemption!~♡♡♡
