A Box of Dunkin’ Donuts and a Coffee from a Parent

Yeah right that’s what I got, I feel scared the way my husband knocked on our door, you know it is a knock that scaring someone because sometimes he loves to scare me. I don’t have a plan to open the door but later on his knocks seems so in hurry and when I open the door, he has the box of Dunkin’ Donuts on the other hand and a coffee on the other hand.

It turns out that few of the parents of their students went to school to observe and one of the mother brought a box of Dunkin’ Donuts and a coffee, as Jade is on her diet she told my husband to bring them all and as my husband is on a diet I have all of these. Lol!

On Sending EMS Package from Korea

Finally the box I’ve sent to Philippines last Friday arrived today to my family. I thought it is already gone missing because when I tracked it the last information the box arrived in the Philippines and nothing else.

My sister is so happy upon seeing pringle’s in the box, she said it’s been a long time since she’s been asking our mother to buy her pringle’s  so the pringle’s I’ve sent is just on time. One of the souvenirs I’ve sent was broken so they just glued it. Maybe the box was not carried carefully or they just throw it away (sigh). Oh well the good thing is the box still arrived., my worried feeling for it is gone.

Middle of the Night and Craving for Pizza

I wake up late today, it is already noon time. Felt so tired last night, my husband asked me to buy some profiteroles but sad to say nothing is left so I bought muffins instead. When I reached home he is not satisfied with the bake goods and he asked me to look for pizza in the middle of the night, I walked to the pizza place I know and they are all closed. I thought his craving will end up there, but I am wrong he asked me to look for loaf of bread as he wants to have grilled cheese sandwich so I went out again and when I came home I prepared the grilled cheese sandwich.

Korean Local Bakeshop

It has been a long walk last night, I also try to go to Watsons to buy chocolates but it is already closed when I reached there.

Our Apartment Stinks Like Kimchi

Today is just another busy day, I wake up at noon time. After earning points on my adgitize account I have to start cooking, yeah right stressing.

Anyway our apartment stench again that I need to close the bathroom door, it seems the people in the second/third floor is making kimchi because it stinks like one. We are on the ground floor so I guess when they washed their dish and the water went to the drain the gas went up. Yesterday it also stinks like garlic and kimchi, then later afternoon I found out that there are people having barbecue party in the garage so probably they prepared kimchi for their barbecue party and washes the dishes today.

Pepero Day is Coming Soon!

It’s not yet November but stores already displays a lot of loot for Pepero Day,  small and big pepero. I normally feel ashamed taking photos but this time I took my chance to take a snap and as what I am expected my husband walk away from me.  It looks like it is a crime to take photo ah, anyway he don’t like it when I always snap here and there, he always said I am embarrassing him.

Pepero Chocolates in Korean Supermarket

Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine’s Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date “11/11” resembles four sticks of Pepero. The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts. Lotte denies starting the holiday and instead states that they noticed a bump in Pepero sales around November 11th and after continued popularity they decided to then encourage the holiday with special gift boxes and other promotions.Some consider it to be a contrived holiday and some teachers have encouraged children to exchange healthy snacks to help combat obesity. An alternative “Garaetteok Day” (sticks of white tteok) has been proposed.

How My Husband and I Celebrated My Birthday

Today is my birthday but my husband and I celebrated it in advance. We started it last Friday, he cooked macaroni spaghetti for me. Yes you heard it right he is the chef of the day, he added black olives and ground Cajun sausage.

Then when it is cooked we went out to buy cake, mozzarella cheese and some pastries. We  went to Paris Baguette and I choose milk chocolate cake to have a change. I always choose chocolate cake on my previous birthday celebration eh, so this time still chocolate cake but with milk., Haha

Paris Baguette Chocolate Cake

On the next day we headed to Popeyes to order chicken and biscuits, we didn’t make it on the previous night because we are too full, so we have two days celebration. While we are waiting for our order we walked around the supermarket and bought a spreadable butter.

Then we had a competition who’s going to arrive in Paris Baguette first, we took different route with an agreement nobody will run just to win. Well I arrived in Paris Baguette first without running because I just walk straight unlike him he needs to walk around.

We bought profiterole and baguette from Paris Baguette and few more pastries. My husband says when we are already outside the door of the bakery,  the store clerk might think we are pigs, because the other night we just bought a cake and pastries and that night we bought more pastries.

Just want to say thank you for all the greetings, and to the person (J) who made a long week celebration of my birthday, thank you very much.

Sport-fest or Family Day in Icheon Elementary School?

I wake up early in the morning with a loud noise coming from the nearby school, it seems there’s a celebration. I can hear drums, music and a person announcing something. I would like to check whats happening outside but I am to shy to do it, so I just open my computer and do some adgitizing then return to sleep afterwards.

When I wake up again, I made some soup and I can still hear the music nearby. So after meal I decided to check what’s happening on the nearby school.

And this is what I have found out, people playing soccer. It seems there’s a sport fest or family day, the field/playground is surrounded by tents which are fully occupied. The elementary school is quite big isn’t it?

My Introvert Personality Traits

Weird traits? Yeah right that’s what I have sometimes, there are times I just want to be alone. I don’t want to talk or have a conversation so don’t ever wonder why there are times I am not active in Facebook  as I am hiding from the civilization, except if I am busy that I can’t really visit Facebook like today. Definitely, I am introvert type of person. The most basic definition of an introvert is a person who gains energy from being alone and loses energy in stimulating environments, such as social event while according to dictionary.com -introverts tend to be preoccupied with their own thoughts and feelings and minimize their contact with other people.

[Feeling Sad]

Anyway, my husband called me bipolar once because I am angry few minutes ago and later on I am not, my mood changes all the time . Well it depends upon the people around me, I really have nothing to post because I don’t know where my blog topic goes.

Well, we made a soup together today and we ate all of it as in nothing is left for later,  lol. I need to do my laundry early morning when I wake up, I was too busy that I forgot about it. Rhyming isn’t it?

Korean Halo-Halo

I am not sure but that’s how it looks like to me, I’ve seen two middle school student carrying this cup while I am going to the Nonghyup Supermarket few weeks ago.  It’s new to me so after I bought the items I need I went to the freezer and check what’s new, I didn’t waste my time to try this thinking it is a new flavor of ice cream.

 But I was wrong, its like halo-halo in Philippine, a popular Filipino dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice and evaporated milk to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits, and served in a tall glass or bowl. The difference this cold snack consist only red beans, ice and sugar. It seems Korean love read bean so much because it is always included in any bread or snacks.
