I’m delighted that you’ve found your way to my blog, where I share my experiences and insights as a Pinay (a colloquial term for a Filipina) who happens to be married to a wonderful Korean man. So I’d like to think of myself as an ajumma (a Korean term for a married woman or a middle-aged lady). Together, we’ve built a life here in the Land of the Rising Sun, and through this blog, I aim to give you a glimpse into the unique blend of cultures, traditions, and adventures that make up my daily life.
Living in a multicultural household has taught me the importance of embracing diversity and finding common ground in our differences. I believe that love knows no boundaries, and my marriage to my Korean husband has opened my eyes to new perspectives, customs, and traditions that I eagerly share with my readers.
On this blog, you can expect to find a variety of topics, including travel adventures, cultural experiences, language learning tips, marriage and family insights, product reviews and so much more.
I invite you to join me on this adventure as we explore the intersections of cultures and celebrate the richness they bring to our lives. I encourage you to engage with the content, leave comments, and share your own stories and perspectives. This blog is a community, and I believe that the most beautiful conversations happen when we come together and learn from one another.
Thank you for being here, and I hope that The Pinay Ajumma becomes a place that you enjoy visiting time and time again. Let’s embark on this journey of cultural exploration, learning, and growth together.
With love and gratitude,
Sheryl Gim
The Pinay Ajumma

Hello. Unfortunately, you can’t. You have to be a resident here in Japan in order to apply for the Korean visa.

Because you are not a resident in Japan, you have to apply for the Korean visa at the Korean embassy where you legally live.
