KTO Miss Flower Spring Review

"Spring is the season where flowers bloom, it is also the season to fall in love."

Spring Love
By: Karen Dangco

When winter's over, flowers bloom with love
It is the time of Spring that came from above.
Beautiful flowers and fresh spring breeze
Takes away all the winter's freeze

Beautiful Azaleas on the mountain tops
Attracting tourist to have a full stop
Passion and fragility, its hidden message
Giving our lives a little essence.

Fresh green trees everywhere
A pleasant place to rest our hearts in despair
Marvelous persimmon trees
a resting place to be at ease

When the love is growing,
Pure beauty is what were hoping
in love, that is important
like the cherry blossom's nature importance

Memories give meaning to love
It is a gift from God above
Treasured days that you can never forget
especially the day that you first met

Cheerful as you can be, 
because you found you're meant to be
Happy as the sunshine,
like the Cole flowers in the line

Wonderful, attractive and colorful tulips 
flowers that are admired by the tourists
A time of declaring love, is what they mean
makes you more happy in spring.

Green and beautiful as the Barley
Love will show clearly
Flourish it to grow
even though it is slow

Miss Flower Spring is a short film released by the KoreanTourism Organization (KTO); it is a promotional video that promotes the wonderful sites of Korea’s spring flowers. 

With the spectacular sites of Korea's spring flowers, the vibrant and colorful flowers, and the fresh  and clean surroundings. This video really inspired me, it really made me want to go to Korea.

The stroryline of the short film is also similar to that of other Korean dramas, with the growing  love of the two characters, love triangles, and the cute but romantic scenes. The storyline will make you watch the video from the beginning until the end. If you are a fan of Korean dramas, like me, you will surely love this video.

The actors in the video absolutely did a great job. They portrayed their characters well. They're all beautiful like the flowers. Even though the characters did not say anything through the course of the video except when the girl said "ubbujwo" to the boy, you can still understand what their roles are all about. You can see it through their actions, that they're falling for each other.

The cinematography of the video is really impressive. It is like you're watching a movie. The lightings, the camera movement, you can really see the natural beauty and elegance of Korea. The still images of the flowers shown in sceneries is very alluring. Its like they're just there right  in front of your eyes, waiting to be touched and admired. I like it when the flowers are shown one by one in the video, then showing their elegance through the still images. I also loved the scenes where in every flower there is a hidden message, and it is  then interpreted by the actors.

The background music of the short film is very calming and relaxing. The background music was a piano composition of Han Ju-Heon. It is very soothing, and invigorating. With the music you will love the video more. 

Overall, KTO Miss flower Spring Video, is an inspiring and captivating short film that inspires us to visit Korea.

Korean Foods That I Want to Try

Here's a list of Korean foods that I want to try someday. If I would have a chance to visit Korea, these are the foods that I must try. 

• Tteokbokki

Tteokbokki, also known as ddeokbokki or topokki, is a popular Korean snack food which is commonly purchased from street vendors or Pojangmacha. Originally it was called tteok jjim (떡찜), and was a braised dish of sliced rice cake, meat, eggs, and seasoning.

My K-POP Journal

Just made a Kpop journal. I made this a view days ago. The cover might not be Kpop related but I like it to be that way. I planned to cover it with colorful papers but I said to myself that I will just use its original cover. The cover has a picture of a girl from the past, and has "Golden Years" as its title. 

Inside the journal, there are pictures of my favorite Kpop bands, their band members, and their songs. B1A4 was the first Kpop Band that I put on my journal. I have included the lyrics of their songs, the translation, and some of the screenshots of their music video. Beautiful Target and OK are the B1A4 songs that I included in my journal.

The next Kpop bands that I will include in my journal are TVXQ/DBSK,  EXO, Super Juniors, Shinee, Sistar19 and many more.
