As what I have said before I love experimenting with food, these past few days I have been tired eating adobo, chicken or pork. I want to try another dish and we have nothing here but kimchi so I tried to cook chicken and kimchi the other day and the result was great. I’m loving it!

Pookie bear says it doesn’t look good, so I told him to try it because it tasted good but he won’t do it because he said he is on a diet. After few hours I found two chicken bones in the sink  and then my food container is almost empty, well your guess is right as mine Pookie bear cannot resist the temptation so I told him about his diet he just said he will ate small amount in the evening than the usual amount, he is  also using the soup to his scrambled egg. So as of today I have cooked another chicken kimchi stew and someone’s gonna drool over it. Lol!

My ingredients:

Chicken, Kimchi, Salt, Black pepper, Oil, Onion, Garlic, Water

Procedure:

• In a  sauce pan or in a pot sauté garlic and onions on cooking oil.
• Add the chicken to the pan. Friend it a little then add the kimchi and stir.
• Add water enough for the chicken to boil.
• Seasoned it with salt and black pepper.
• Wait until the chicken became  tender.
• Serve hot with plain rice.

So weird. That’s how I called my dreams/nightmare yesterday morning, I woke up around nine o’clock in the morning when the alarm clock rang. It was breakfast time for Pookie bear I just opened my eyes and went back to sleep because he prepare his meal alone.  He doesn’t eat heavy breakfast, a glass of whey protein and few grams of sliced apples was enough to start his day.  I woke up again at ten o’clock when Pookie bear get ready for school and went back to sleep when he left,  we sleep at 2 AM every night, we are nocturnal. Anyway, I turned my laptop first so there’s something to disturb me or wake me up in case I had a bad dreams again and sleep paralysis strikes again.

As I am sleeping I had this dream that we are traveling and we are in a very familiar place, it wasn’t my first time to be there because everything was very familiar then I don’t know how my dream changed on seeing me sleeping. On my dream I was sleeping backwards, my feet where facing in the headboard when Pookie bear arrives from school and I can hear his movements while his changing to home clothes and getting something in the fridge for his meal, I tried to wake up but I can’t open my eyes (you know I was worried on my dreams to being scolded by my husband for sleeping too much and not even preparing his meal after work) and it was getting hard for me to breath. As I am struggling to wake up in my dreams Pookie bear peek inside my blanket to wake me up and I constantly heard some movements.  I struggle to wake up again,  I opened my eyes but they will closed again and I am already losing air. Then suddenly after struggling so hard I finally woke up and found out I was holding my nose preventing me to breath (imagine when you are preparing to dive in the water), as I tried to move out from the bead, I realized my body was paralyzed up to my head.  It was weird but my head feels like a balloon that is full of air and can explode anytime. With this,  I rest for a little bit and move out of our bed to make a coffee so I can’t sleep anymore. Well, I found out the movement I’ve heard in my dream was not from Pookie bear but to our neighbors in the second floor it sounds like they are moving/arranging their cabinets and tables. I was so lucky and thankful on their noises, lucky they did it while I am fighting to live and wake up again.  As usual the consequences when I have this kind of dreams was my body is dead tired, I feel so tired as if I work-out so much.

So today, I didn’t sleep during the day.  I was really scared because this wasn’t the first time it happens, it always happen whenever I am sleep. I don’t know how it started but it isn’t healthy already. I have research many methods how to prevent this or how to wake up during struggle, it helps but there are times when I panicked I can’t even wake up myself unless I started to pray.

Well, Pookie bear wake up very early and went to Postal office and mailed his present to his friend (C) he didn’t bother to wake me up because I think he is a little angry with me for bothering him last night. He wants to sleep but I don’t like to sleep because I was still scared, all I want is to use my laptop, he won anyway.

There’s only thing not to trust in Philippine Postal Corporation (Philpost) that it is our mail or parcel. I have ordered a Sport Metal Watch from Artscow last December and guess what? The envelope arrives yesterday but the watch did not, what the heck what’s the use of the envelope, for toilet paper? The envelope was open right where it was pasted so damn cool isn’t it. Dunno what happened to the watch maybe a cool guy  is wearing it even the watch has a photo of somebody. Lol, yes it is a personalized watch my Christmas gift to my father so it has a photo of him.

The open envelope

What a shame, for sure the watch was stolen by philpost employees unless there’s other people who segregate and transport our mails and parcels. Just a question does our mail need to be delivered house to house or just give it other people and be delivered to us? That’s how its works in our province those barangay which are 15-30 minutes away from town the post man just gave the mail to jeepney drivers or look for someone who knows the person and darn your mail is free and in express delivery. Just be lucky if nobody got interested with it.

This is how it works before the mails are delivered in our place they were delivered first in San Pablo Laguna for segregating and then to our province. The enveloped my mother had received has no stamp of “Received torn or open” from postal office from Laguna or our from our local postal office. So when they asked why it is open and empty and then no stamp of being received open and torn the postal office just says “They didn’t noticed it” what does it mean they’re just stamping and stamping without checking if the mails or parcels they are stamping are open or torn. “Good job! Clap your hands on the air”. If postal office employees has this reason every time a parcel was missing no wonder it is nowhere to be found. So who’s the real culprit, and where it gone missing the postal employees who segregated the mails when it arrive to Philippines or the mail man who gave it to other people or the person who received it  and handed to our house or maybe a ghost?

Anyway I think Philpost needs to changed their promotional banner below, because it does not correspond on what they offered, it is not safe and it is not express either. Just remember the postal delivery van hijacked somewhere in the Philippinnes, that’s what they called safe when things are being stolen express because they don’t deliver it to you but giving them to other people to be delivered right to your house.

I got all those details in a Facebook page No Mining On Tablas Island so if you want to participate and help the advocacy just visit the page.

Anyway when we arrived here in Korea in Bangladesh and we shopped I have found that boxes of cup cakes and chocolate cakes are on sale so I grab a few, thinking to send them home again to my family.

Just wake up two hours ago I am feeling sleepy this two successive days, Pookie Bear scheduled has changed because of the winter season so he wakes up early to go to school for an early class which I am not used too. So when he go to school, I went back to bed and sleep. And I am thankful I can sleep, if you doesn’t know I have a little phobia sleeping alone in our apartment during noon time because I always had a nightmare. So since then I don’t sleep alone when Pookie bear is at school but today I can sleep even though I am still dreaming but not that bad anymore that I can’t breath. The other day I was wake up by neighbors coming downstairs, today I was wake up by the water coming down the apartment maybe the other occupants in the second or third floor is washing their clothes anyway when I wake up my body is sore as well as my eyes.

I think it depends on the position of our bed, because it also happened before in Seoul but when we changed the bed position I seldom had a nightmare anymore and same here too since we transfer the bed. (Typing this I heard knocks on our door, every time I head knocks I feel afraid and nervous). I think I am being pathetic.

Anyway back to dreaming, there are times I am dreaming and maybe I am already having a nightmare where I am speaking in the middle of the night or grasping for my breath and crying, my room mate I mean Pookie won’t bother waking me up. He would just ask me in the morning if I am dreaming because I sounds weird. Lol! The other morning was the funny thing, I think I am dreaming and in my dream I am raising my hand to hit someone or something (I can’t remember it fully) but I was get awaken when I finally hit that someone which is no other than Pookie bear I hit him in the head into his surprised. He both get awaken dunno why I am raising my hand…hahaha
