Our First Valentine Together
Few more days and it is already Valentines Day. Any plans for it? My husband kept asking me if where I want to go on Valentines Day, or where we going to celebrate it. Normally if there’s an occasion we’re eating lunch/dinner outside and then before we came home we’re going to buy a special cake.
I told him either to Outback Steakhouse or in a Mexican Restaurant, I also suggest to him that we should try “hot pot” in a Korean restaurant where seafoods is freshly cooked at your table but he said we should try it on our last night here in Korea. Outback is my favorite steakhouse, I love their food, and beverages. When it comes to Mexican, I love their food esp. burito and chili fries and a lot more.

This is our first valentines together, so it might be special not like the previous years we just greet each other by an e-card, but he never forget to send chocolates, dozen of roses and big teddy bear to me by ordering online. It was also last Valentine when I received a digital camera from him as gift, so my cam is already one year in my possession.
What’s my gift for him? Nothing big, just a chocolate and a simple card (photo), he loves white chocolates so much with cookies and cream that’s what the chocolates I have for him. “Sorry Sweetie that’s all I can afford, you know I don’t have a work and you never gave me allowance anymore (lol). Actually he already seen the chocolate, I bought it along with the Pink Kisses on my previous blog, I manage to kept it on my arm but he showed up from the big room and ask me what I have, he kept insisting and darn….he said sorry afterwards.
WThe photo looks gay, I edited it eh., this is my 4th entry for I LOVE PINK!

Just a thought
The other night after school my husband met a recruiter in Seonjong Station, for a job interview in Gimpo. Well the offer is good, free apartment, return airfare, one month extra if you finished the contract and etc.,
He arrived already late, I was bit worried that time. He told me, he also got a demonstration that’s why he took so long. Haha, when I opened his bag he has a “pasalubong” for me. As usual it is times 2, I just shoot a photo of my share. Hmmm… just a thought, frequently he have something for me when he arrived home, the other night a box of cake and etc.,
Anyway our visa here in Korea is going to expire soon as my husband contract going to end soon too. Well if he can’t find a job, I have to go home to Philippines.
Always times 2 not 1
Another hungry weekend had passed, it is normal that we are going to buy food times 2, my husband appetite won’t agree with the term sharing in terms of food.
The owner of Pizza Maru told me in her little English to call if we want pizza because they offer delivery unfortunately our phone is broken, so I told her we don’t have a phone. Well even though we have a phone, hard to tell our direction in Korean language.
When I left the Pizza Palace, I smiled when she says “Goodbye Sir”.
“Where’s your ice cream?”
It’s Thursday again, time for Pink Meme. There’s nothing very special with my pink fever today. Last week around one o’clock in the morning, a hunger strikes us. So I went to “Buy the Way” to buy onion rings and a Hershey’s bar but I was so tempted to buy these Kisses chocolate when I saw them in the stand because it is pink, along with this chocolate I also bought a sweet stick bread, also in pink.
When I arrived home, my husband asked me “Where’s your ice cream?” Lol, my ice cream became chocolate. I have told him I am going to buy an ice cream for me when I left our apartment to store but my attention was caught by the pink kisses on the stand. He just nodded his head on disbelief.

Dirty Wednesday
This is a funny shot of my shoes after a long day of tour in Polonnaruwa, kind of messy huh? It’s been one month since we travel in Sri Lanka but I just washed my shoes this week, actually it is still in a drying stage. You know why? When we arrived here in Seoul, it is snowy, I only have one shoes with me so if I wash this I don’t have any shoes to wear if we are going outside. Toinkz!
We left my old sloppy shoes in the last hotel we stayed in China that’s why I don’t have a spare one and I can’t buy lot of things in here because I can’t carry them when we are going to leave Korea.
Saturday Gimbap
Last Saturday we went to International Clinic, Itaewon to have my second B shots (Hep B). Actually I am kinda one week late, but hubby feel tired during that week. Whew, the shot was kinda hurt, the nurse had also told me my arm will be numb for few days and she was right. Well we have to return again in June for my second A & third B shots. Hopefully we are still here.
Itaewon is kinda far from us, I wore three clothes behind my coat that day. I just want to make sure that my snut will not run away from my nose because of cold temperature. (lol) I have learn my lesson the other week when we go to Canadian Embassy I am so cold that time.
Anyway, it was been a long time since we ate Gimbap, a popular Korean fast food made from steamed white rice (bap) and various other ingredients, rolled in gim (sheets of dried seaweed) and served warm in bite-size slices. Gimbap is often eaten during picnics or outdoor events, or as a light lunch, served with danmuji or kimchi. It is similar, but not identical, to norimaki, one of the many variants of the Japanese rice-based dish sushi.
The basic components of gimbap are rice, meat or other protein-rich ingredient, and a large variety of vegetables, pickled, roasted, or fresh. Traditionally, the rice is lightly seasoned with salt and sesame oil/perilla oil. Popular protein ingredients are fish cake, crab meat, eggs, and/or seasoned beef rib-eye. Vegetables usually include cucumbers, spinach, carrots, and danmuji (pickled radish). After the gimbap has been rolled and sliced, it is typically served with danmuji.
Farmville Collections
After the fuel disappear from mystery eggs e.g. golden eggs, Farmville return it again, thanks for that.Anyway Farmville has this new collection to be completed, at first it feels very hard to complete this collections like the Gardening, Bugs and etc., but playes were too wise to think of a good strategy how to get these unlimited collections, I have been busy since this morning collecting my rewards 5 fuels, 5,000 coins and 250 XP, I can’t count anymore how many times I have completed the Gardening and Bugs collections. It is so much fun but tiring, I am so happy that my fuel reaches thousand again. If you are interested how to get unlimited gardening and bugs collections just leave a comment below..
Update as of 5:30
The glitch is not working anymore, zynga fixed it I supposed, so sad 🙁
Frankenstein
These past few weeks I have been hooked up reading some paper backs, I have read the novel written by Mary Shelly which is entitled Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, generally known as Frankenstein.
When we heard the name Frankenstein what comes to our mind is the beast, right? At first I believed that Frankenstein was also the beast but after reading Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankestein is no other than the doctor, Victor Frankestien the creator of the beast who killed his younger brother, his friend and wife. The story was very tragic and sad.,
I am not being contented by just reading the book so I have also watched the old movie Frankenstein (1938), the plot of story is different though from the novel.
For information about the author , Shelley started writing when she was 18 and the novel was published when she was 20. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley’s name appears on the second edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In popular culture, people have tended incorrectly to refer to the monster as “Frankenstein”. Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the expansion of modern man in the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel’s subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films.
Haiti Relief Fund
Farmville has a relief fund for Haiti, due to the devastating earthquake happened a week ago. The relief fund was like this you have to unlock white corn for 25 FV cash, after it you can plant the white corn for one week, harvested every 6 hours and it doesn’t withered. My hubby and I just decided to contribute for the relief fund, so we bought 25 FV cash each by means of real money in order we can unlock the white corn. So far hubby is enjoying planting white corn to his farm, I just started today.
Fuel refills gone
The only reason why I have been addicted in hatching eggs especially golden eggs in Farmville because of the FUEL refills I could get, but unfortunately Farmville change those stuffs inside the eggs, they became useless to everyone especially golden eggs. In this case, I supposed I have more time to blog, I have also sold a lot of my golden chickens after completing the blue ribbon for Egg-celent Discovery…
White mystery eggs now has a good stuff in it, like the outhouse and the groovy scare crow, I want the latter though.
