Tomorrow will be my first travel to Seoul alone, a test on changing myself to be independent. I almost had a tantrums the other night when my husband told me I need to apply a visa alone to go to Bangladesh but I remember I need to behave and grown up  he can’t go with me tomorrow he has a class to teach.

The Bangladesh embassy  changed the rules in  span of time because the last time we visited the site Filipino doesn’t need a visa to go Bangladesh. So mean, so I’ve contacted Emelyn she’s been asking me for a meet up since the last time we met almost nine months ago, lol. So I think this is the chance to see each other again after a long time of excuses and etc., luckily she just left her job so she is free to walk with me. So tomorrow we will going to find the Bangladesh Embassy in Itaewon then after it visit a museum and visit their nest.

Anyway I am proud of myself because I can now pay the bills alone at the bank without arguing with my husband. Hehehe

What’s new? Well I wake up early today at one o’clock in the afternoon, early than usual time two o’clock in the afternoon.  After turning on my computer I went to refresh my breath morning then back to normal routine surfing the net and visiting the daily sites, I am type of person who doesn’t eat immediately after waking up so it’s normal. After a hour I decided to make a cup of coffee for me I am the only one who drink coffee here and finally the 100th stick last today it’s my last stick  so when I told my husband we need to buy coffee he told me to savor it as it is my last stick. It took me almost seven months to finish it, we bought it last May. I went to the fridge to get the fresh milk while waiting for the electric kettle to finish its load, I immediate pour the “milk” into my cup and then realization came, what the heck since when cold water became milk? Darn instead of getting the milk what I got is our water pitcher, just too lucky that I am thinking of milk when I poured it so I only drop a small amount because if I am thinking of hot water instead of enjoying the last stick of my coffee I will be pissed off for sure. Anyway I think it is explainable because I am used of getting the water pitcher in the fridge rather than the milk. Have you experienced that situation, where instead of getting something you need you pick up the wrong one?

I’m glad to hear that the winners of my previous giveaway already got their gift prize, it’s a success even there’s only 28 bloggers who joined.  I have thought my prize is not worth it that’s why only few people joined the said giveaway but upon reading the blog post of the winners a realization came to my mind it is worth it, their thank you makes me happy and at least I know this Christmas I made a difference compare to last Christmas. Congratulations again, thank you and  your welcome!

I am planning to host another giveaway next year so just watch out for my upcoming post, don’t know when anyway,  maybe on Valentines Day or Graduation Day. Haha, what a dork announcing it on advance!

At last the box was finally opened this afternoon, when Pookie bear arrived he is grinning to me while looking at his box, his so called “Christmas gift”. He ate his meal first before trying to envy me and testing my excitement, well I know how to play his game. I act like I am not interested to know what’s inside and I focus on my online task, so he surrendered teasing me and he finally open the box smelling it first and telling me it smells good something smells good inside. He took first the vitamins, flax seed oil, deodorant and his trash errr I mean his over 100 pages of documents for his genealogy program which he bought online and delivered in Canada. Yes, he is buying some records online and  paying for someone to take picture of his ancestors tomb stones. That’s how dedicated my husband with his genealogy, I think he can kill me if I ever ruin his program. Lol! One time I have asked him how much he already spend with his trash, pardon me but that’s the word I used trash. As it was expected he didn’t answer to me in short he was angry with me. So lesson learned I have to be very careful with my words and terms so I will not hurt his feelings.

Anyway when everything is out he finally took one box of chocolates, then one more and more until the chocolates became four boxes. He handed it to me and I just stare with it, thinking if I am going to eat or just saved it until it melts. I say thank you after wards, at first I thought it is my mother in-law who bought it and send it to me, not until my husband told me I did not say thank you  to him for buying chocolates for me. I think he did not heard it because it is not too loud anyway I am reserving my thank you to my in-laws (lol).

So I jokingly told him, “Oh its you, I thought it’s Mom” and laugh.  Anyway I said thank you for the second time enough for him to hear it. I am still undecided if I am going to eat the chocolates or not, call me dork but that’s how things work for me. I am just contented looking at my stuff and when I feel bored I ate or used them. Maybe that’s how it works when you are raised in a family that eating meat is already a luxury, haha. When I told my husband that I can’t eat the chocolates he told me “Eat them or I will eat them”  of course I’m scared I know how he ate, darn my chocolates will only last one day to him. So I open one box and start eating them, I also bring few to the gym while doing some work-out I am munching chocolates. Silly my work-out is no use at all, so as of now  one box is almost down. They tasted like curly tops but a way better than it I supposed maybe if I am living in Canada I will buy these chocolates everyday because they are cheap for $1. Hehehe

We woke up very early today, we’ve went to postal office to mail the sweet box to the Philippines. Pookie bear has no choice but to come with me and carry the box even he is a little mad (I supposed to me) for disturbing him. He didn’t wait anymore he just left after “delivering the box”.

When I came home he is all relax playing his farmville (lol), after few minutes we returned to sleep but I can’t go back to sleep my stomach is disturbing me, asking for food. After a hour or two, time to wake up again because Pookie bear will go to work and that was the time our doorbell rang, when I open it is the mail man. He handed a small gadget to me to sign before getting the box in his bike, it is a box from my mother-in law address to Pookie bear. So when I came inside the house I asked him if I can open his box (lol). He said no, its for him. He tease me after wards that I am going to feel crazy waiting for him to open his box, he carefully hand it and put in the corner and says it is his Christmas gift and he is going to put it on his imaginary Christmas tree ( as you can see the box standing like one). He added maybe he will open it on Christmas day too just to tease me more. Anyway I already know what’s inside just by shaking it, (LOL) my parents-inlaw already send me us some present for Christmas.

As of now I am patiently waiting for him to open the box, he is at work at this time.

Since Facebook became the most visited social networking sites, sites like Friendster is already forgotten. Most of my friends already migrated to the first one, and my problem how can I download all my photos from Friendster. It’s not easy eh, I have thousands of photos stored on the said social networking site and it will take forever if I right click and save it. In Facebook it is easy all you need is to installed additional plug-in and presto you can download all your pictures. What about Friendster is there an easiest way? Well here’s what I found online and tried:

• Log-in to your Friendster account and  browse your pictures one by one.
• On your Mozilla Firefox menu, click TOOLS then choose PAGE INFO
• Click the Media Icon on top of the Page info window.
• Look for Image Type files that starts with http://photos.friendster.com

• Select all the images that you want to save. You can see the preview of each picture at the bottom of Page Info window.
•  Click Save As and save it where ever you want in your computer.
• Done.

Christmas is almost here, last weekend I have asked Pookie bear if what is our Christmas gifts to his family and to my family. I remind him what he told me a year ago that we are not going to send gifts every occasion but during holiday season only. He told me what about he will shouldered the postal fee of the things I have collected. So I agree, on Monday I went to the nearest postal office to buy a box. I got the big box ( number 5), while arranging the stuff I am going to send I remember what pookie bear has said he don’t like a big box, so I returned to the postal office to buy another box the small one (number 4). When he came home he was surprised to see two boxes so I told  him just one, the small one. So he asked me how much is it, so I looked into the price list the the postal office had given to me, when I said the price. Believe it or not, he said No. Lol, he was not going to pay that amount just for postal fee. So I told him that he said yes last weekend, he said he thought it is just half of the price, so I replied to him that he knows how many kilos my stuffs are.

So what happened? No choice so I just told him that he is going to pay the half and the half price is mine. Asking me where am I going to get the money for it, well its from the allowance he is giving me weekly $8.64 /week ah yeah just last week I have an allowance increase $12.96 per week already. Lol!  So I think the box will stay here in our apartment after Christmas because I need to buy chocolates too because my mother  and sister has a sweet tooth.

Anyway what’s inside my box why it weighs so much, well just shampoo I bought from my allowance when they are on sale. Big bottles of shampoo.

This is how the trees looks like today after all the leaves reached the ground if you remember my post, Yellow is everywhere you can see those leaves. It’s already snowing here especially in Seoul, as of today there’s no snow fall here in our place, the sun is shining so bright.

As I am blog hopping last night I have found out that North Korea fired a deadly barrage of artillery shells onto a South Korean island on Tuesday in one of the most serious border incidents since the 1950-1953 war, inciting global condemnation. Two marines had died, 15 marines were wounded along with three civilians. South Korea’s military went on top alert, its troops fired back with cannon and the government met in an underground war room in response to what Seoul called an atrocity against civilians.

North Korea’s supreme command, however, accused South Korea of firing first and vowed “merciless military attacks with no hesitation if the South Korean enemy dares to invade our sea territory by 0.001 mm”. But condemnation of Pyongyangpoured in from the United States, which has 28,500 troops in South Korea, along with Russia, Japan and Western Europe.

Some 50 shells landed on Yeonpyeong near the tense Yellow Sea border, damaging dozens of houses and sending plumes of thick smoke into the air, YTN television reported.

I have asked my husband if he knows it and if he is not scared, well he said yes he knows it he just shrugged his shoulder and says he can fly back to Canada and left me here. What a loving husband he is(lol). Anyway he laugh on his own joke after wards, when went to North Korea last July it was also the time that South says North bomb the navy ship. That’s why it is kind of scary to go there that time, I don’t want to be a prisoner of war eh.,but it is more scary to go there now. Whew luckily we have a right decision to go there last July.
