As what I have said on my previous blog I am going to Seoul tomorrow to meet a cousin of mine, I am a little nervous like I am always be on meeting someone. Darn I am really that anti-social that I am not used of meeting people alone. I can’t carry Pookie bear with me because he has a class to teach so I have to face my social fear alone, this a another step to got the changes I am wishing for, remember Ate Mhel’s contest?
Anyway every time we are going to Seoul I will never forgot to buy gimbap rolls in the restaurants in the terminal especially if I didn’t eat anything at home before leaving, so I am looking forward for another set of this tomorrow.

I am not feeling well today and it is my fault. I have been hooked up using my laptop everyday and because of that I am too lazy to eat my meals. Yesterday I did not eat any rice I was too busy tweaking a new template to my other blog, when I wake up Pookie bear made a cup of coffee for me and strawberry/peanut butter sandwich (that’s how sweet he is sometimes especially if he want to experiment something on my drink) it was my brunch, then in the evening I just ate two pieces of chocolate and a bread rolls which I bought from Kim’s Mart last night too in spite of the cold temperature outside I went out to buy some stuffs.
I can’t sleep well last night my stomach and my back is bothering me so I wake us early as ten o’clock to cook rice and fried some egg plant. I have eaten already and now drinking a cup of hot coffee but my back is still bothering me plus my eyes feel blurry. I don’t wanna go the gym tonight but I don’t think Pookie bear will believe me because we always had a kind of tug of war every time we go to the gym. Hoping I am going to feel better tomorrow because I am going to meet my cousin in Seoul, she’s gonna be there to claimed her passport so she asked me if we can meet, I don’t know what will happen this will be the first time meeting/talking to her because they lived in a different province in Philippines ‘we have met before but no bonding at all because I am still young and she’s older so she’s always with our older cousin, we also had a misunderstanding last year that brought a lot of tears to me. It feels so awkward meeting her but I have to do it so my other relatives will not say I am being boastful or other term for it.

It is almost two o’clock in the afternoon and I just wake up, feel so tired for sleeping so late like four o’clock in the morning.
Last night we went to Kim’s Mart to buy sausages, as I walked around the aisle of goods I have found Kerasys shampoo and conditioner are on sale. So I requested Pookie bear if he can buy one for me I can’t do it anymore because I am zero balance. Thanks and he did, so I have a lot of conditioner now. When we went home he asked if this conditioner is for me or into the box to the Philippines. Well I said its for me and for sure it is going to change when my old conditioner reached its last drop where I managed to put water so I am not going to waste it.

Hi everyone I am too busy last night, after gym I’ve done two loads of laundry and cook two kinds of dishes, my Chicken Kimchi Stew and Pookie bear’s egg. When I am finally finished I am able to eat my dinner and this is what left on
one whole piece of chicken after I ate three pieces of it. Someone already had a party while the soup is hot. Your right Pookie bear almost ate the whole chicken, he even exclaimed it is very hot(spicy) when the soup touches his throat, because I think I put too much kimchi.

We’re sleeping last night this morning when suddenly Pookie bear rise up “Did you hear that?” I said yes, he actually thought I am the one making noise but I told him it was not me when we heard the noise again. He asked me to turn on the light because I am near in the switch but I am darn scared that I hide inside my thick blanket especially he keep saying that it is coming from my side. A little pissed off of me by acting like a baby he get off the bed to turn on the light in our room trying to figure out where the noise coming from. As both of our eyes are into my “rubbish” beside my bed we have found out it is my pink bag that’s making noise it is slowly falling from the top of the box into the floor touching my other stuff from behind. Pookie bear told me to clean my stuff today, well I did but there’s still more in the floor like my pen holder, candy box and jar, knapsack and my box full of junk (notebooks, paper, pamphlets, photo books,pictures and etc.,) .
I am just too lazy sometimes that I just put my camera, batteries, head phone, coin purse, bags, box of cookies or chocolate in the floor so whenever I sit in the floor while doing my task I will just grab it without standing.

Yesterday I have been hooked up to blogging and clicking my paid to click sites after going to Watsons so I forgot to eat my breakfast and lunch. Using the left over tomato in the fridge I fried it with scrambled eggs as I have done cooking I set it aside in our bed as if presenting it to Pookie bear “What is that crap?” he said upon seeing it. I told him it is eggs and tomatoes, he never gives attention to me as I am eating.
After eating my late brunch and early dinner, I continue with my online task and left my left over eggs and tomatoes on top of the microwave oven. When it’s time to eat his meal he tasted the crap, and he likes it so much that he requested me to cook for him on his next meal. That’s why I went out last night to buy tomatoes and soy milk and then headed to Watsons again.
So last night I cooked twice of eggs and tomatoes for him since he wanted more, thrice if mine is included. Pookie bear told me from now on if he said he want special egg for his meal that’s it, tomatoes and eggs. How ironic, that the food he called crap, he is it calling now special, Lol, it is special for him, he doesn’t know “halos mapurga na ako sa kakain niyan sa Pinas” aside from Sardines with “Miswa” or Upo that’s one of our main dish especially in the morning.
Anyway, my ingredients:
eggs, tomatoes, salt, oil, garlic and onions
Procedure:
- Scramble the eggs
- Saute the garlic and onion until brown
- Add the tomatoes and cooked until it tender
- Add the scrambled eggs and mixed it in the pan
Oh wait, I added mono-sodium in my recipe, guess what happened. Pookie bear’s had a headache last night and his sinusitis bothers him. He is allergic to mono-sodium, so no more vetsin next time.

Yesterday I have blogged about my shopping experience at Watsons well you know me one is not enough so last night I returned to Watsons and finally take photo of the newly open store. I went out to supermart last night to buy tomatoes and soy milk and then went to Watsons because my sole purpose was to buy M & M’s chocolate because I am saving the first set I have bought for my mother and sister. When I went inside I wander around the shelves and I decided to buy another Nivea Lotion (Sparkling White), and there I have found out Moisturization lotion is a little expensive the Sparkling white so I just bought the latter again and bought Pantene shampoo because they are buy 1 take 1 too. I also bought a little bottle of Moisturizing and Strengthening Olive Shampoo it is a Watsons Product.
When I pay at the counter the guy gave me free samples, darn when I shopped in the morning they don’t give me anything even my purchased cost a lot than the second time. When I went home I look for the receipt inside the Watsons bag but can’t find it. Well maybe they don’t give receipts or their printer is not yet working.
As of now I am going to be grounded for few weeks, no more going out or shopping because I spend all my allowance yesterday. My allowance was saved because Pookie bear gave it to me late, and hey did I tell you I also asked advanced allowance last night so I can buy chocolates?
I have a lot of stuff today but it is not all for me, I am planning to send another sweet box home and I am gonna save for the postal fee sooner or later ..

I went to the bank today to pay our bills, after it I am thinking between going home or going to the supermarket to look for sale. But neither of the two wins because I decided to walk at the shopping district to have a window shopping rather than walk in the national road. So as far I saw winter jackets are on sale 20-50%, I did not bother to look at them because I know even it is 50% sale it is still expensive because the stores are signature brand. As I reached Dunkin Donuts I was surprised to see that the clothing store is already a Watsons shop so I went inside, my plan is just to look around but when I saw the word SALE I forgot everything. I went to Men’s Section because I am planning to buy gift for Pookie bear, I am already holding a Calvin Klein Perfume and Nivea Shaving gel when I saw Mise En Scene (Oil Free Fresh Lotion), I don’t know what is it but I found it cute so I am looking at it when the sales lady told me it is buy one take one, so I put two on my little basket and I walk around…
While looking around I have found out that Nivea Sparking White and Moisturizing lotion are also in sale, so I grabbed the two lotions and get one Nivea Creme because my creme is almost finished. I also buy an Elastine conditioner because my Dantrol conditioner is also saying goodbye.
As I continue walking around I’ve seen M & M’s chocolate, darn this chocolate is pretty expensive in our place (Philippines) in my twenty four years of existence as far as I remember I just ate this chocolate two-three times and it is not a full packed either but “tikim-tikim” to classmates who can afford or have a relative abroad. So I grabbed two different package thinking that my mother and sister will like this chocolates. Looking at my little basket I found out I cannot afford all of the stuff so with a heavy heart I returned the “Calvin Klein” perfume with a promise I’ll buy you next time. Lol! So I walked on the ladies section looking for ponds whitening cream but they have none except for Pearl white and whitening foam so I grabbed two Snickers Almond Bar instead in the adjacent tray.
Then I pay in the counter, it looks like they have a promo if you shop with a certain amount you are qualify for a draw of DSLR camera but for sure they won’t count me in, haha. Anyway my stuff is W604 short to qualified, I spend $44.06 for my Watson shopping today. I forgot to take photo of the store because of the icy ice, so cold to remain outside.
When I reached home I thought Pookie bear was already home but he is not yet, as I finished changing my clothes to home clothes I heard foot steps outside the door and cleaning the shoes with ice and dirt in the pavement. So I hurriedly push the Watson bag below the bed, and after few minutes I gave him my gift the shaving gel first which I manage to put in box while his changing his clothes. Then next the Mise en Scene products which we both don’t know how it works. Lol! Mr. Google gonna help me..
He said thank you then he told me I should save my money for my own but then after wards he asked where’s his Christmas gift because I told him that’s my New Year (Chinese) and Valentines gift. I replied that’s three item so it is included. Lol, now what I am going to save is for his birthday four months from now, thinking if I should buy him the Calvin Klein perfume or the men’s wallet in Artscow.

This is my version of Sauted Mongo Sprout or Bean’s Sprout as Pookie bear called it. I missed eating vegetables, its our normal food in Philippines. We only ate meat when we had extra money for it, anyway I wish to buy another head of squash last weekend but it’s darn expensive for one meal, so when I’ve seen this sprouted mongo I grabbed it.
My ingredients:
Sprouted Mongo, pieces of pork, lettuce, onion, garlic, salt and water.
Procedure:
- Saute garlic and onion until brown.
- Add the meat and fry it for few minutes
- Add water
- Add the sprouted beans (mongo)
- Wait until it boiled and add the lettuce and seasoned it with salt.
Yeah, you heard it right, I used lettuce because that’s the only present leafy vegetable inside our fridge left over from the meat sandwich we had on weekend. I did not add soy sauce on my menu which is usually in Sprouted Mongo menu. Well I had a burped after I ate.,solved.

Hi everyone I just wake up, happy Tuesday but it seems I will just enjoy half of the day. Here/s my share of love for the day, these photos are taken last December 2010 in Incheon Airport, its Christmas so red and green colors are everywhere. There’s a lot of booth for picture taking and this one is one of the biggest near the train transfer
As you can see there’s a lot of teddy bears everywhere, the funny thing was there’s a Christmas tree with a lot of gifts below it and one of the gifts has a medium teddy bear setting at the top of the gifts. I’ve seen one toddler crying and trying to carry the teddy bear but it looks like the gift box attach to it is so heavy maybe there’s a stone so nobody will took it. The little boy keeps crying while trying to remove the bear, I saw here mother stopping him before we walk away and look for a restaurant to eat.
This is one of the small booth around the airport Pookie bear want to take photo of me here but I insisted I want the bigger booth, because if I did it here no more photos to be taken. And if he wouldn’t take photo of me I am going to cry like the toddler. Lol!
