Inexpensive Blinds for the Apartment Window
Few months ago my husband and I went to the super market to shop goods for our weekly supplies but before we did, we first went to a store for home supplies and decorations, we are trying to look for blinds for our window but the store is quite big that we almost lost our hope to find one. As we cannot find it we try to look for floor lamps but we all we found are table lamps, so we just walk around passing every shelves and we finally find the window accessories including blinds, hangers and metal pipe or curtain holders. They have abundant supply of blinds and we try too look for something we are gonna like but the realization came, we don’t know the size of our window. If we are going to buy, either we are going to waste money or be happy if the blinds fit the size of our window, it is hard to gamble and wish for luck so we decided not to buy last night. We walk out the door and went to the supermarket to shop our food supplies.

I am trying to find the tape measure on my bag as what I have remembered I brought one here when I left my home country but I can’t find it, wish to find it soon so we can buy blinds for our window. It is quite disturbing when the light in the garage is on.
Buying Green Peas at Icheon Public Market
Last week when I went out to buy something for home, Pookie bear told me to look for beans in Kim’s Club but before going to the supermarket I decided to walk in the town market to see if there’s beans, I saw an old woman selling something like beans so after going to Kim’s Mart to buy some supplies I return to the place where I saw the old woman, I don’t have a plan to buy but the way the old woman looks like she is so sad and lonely, like business is not good that day as I don’t see anyone stopping and buying something, so I stop in her front and pointed the beans which is green peas by the way and asked how much, she said “Samcheon” but as I don’t know how to speak Korean and I cannot understand anything, I gave him 5,000 won ($4.62) , then asked her if it is enough or right, I don’t know if she understand me or not but she wave her hand like telling me its okay and I can go away now, anyway as I am not really sure I waited for few seconds to give me change but as what I can see she slowly put the money so I said to myself maybe I have no change, so I walked out and she never called me to give a change or something.
When I reached home, I feel like the green peas is quite expensive for 5, 000 won so I went to Google translator and translate the monetary amount English to Google, and there I found out Samcheon is 3,000 won ($2.77). Lol! Then Pookie bear who just came out from the bathroom asked me what did I bought. I said I bought a green peas aside from the items he told me to buy, he gets little angry as I didn’t follow our rules again not to buy items not on the list, he added he told to look for beans and not buy green peas, I replied I feel pity at the old woman so I bought something to her. He asked me how much is it, I told him the woman says “Samcheon” but I gave her 5,000 won. He laughed after hearing it and says I feel pity but the old woman ripped me off, lol.
To make it short, I pay for the green peas from my allowance he don’t want to shoulder it as it is my fault and it is not in the list and I am the one who bought it and I am the one who will eat it. So I eventually paid, I didn’t think any bad thoughts about the money but had a slight thoughts that maybe she really ripped me off, anyway I just told myself maybe the old woman thought what I am saying to her is, I am giving her a tip as we cannot understand each other. So next time I guess I should learn how to say to numbers, price, amount in local language. Anyway as the Bible says if you do good things to others God will bless you it means it is a good Karma but I don’t know if I do a good thing, I feel blessed these past few days, I am quite busy designing WordPress Theme, I got a direct advertiser on my site and now I have a page rank. Thank you Lord!
New Meat Shop Opened in Icheon Public Market
I woke up so late today but we are going to sleep early as we are going to wake up very early tomorrow, it is holiday tomorrow as it is the 100th Anniversary of the school. So we are finally going to hike, we have to leave here around five o’clock in the morning. Dunno if we are going to wake up without saying, let’s do it another day!
By the way here’s my share of yellow for today, picture of a newly open meat shop in the market, I have found it when we shopped at Kim’s Mart and seeing the air balloon or what ever you may call it, it is perfect for Mellow Yellow Monday!
Chocolates and Freebies from Canada
Hi guys its been a while, yesterday the box from my Mother-in-law arrived. Pookie bear told me not to open it, so when he arrived he asked me if the box arrived, I replied no and then he started whining, haha. Then when he enter the room and see the box behind the door, he laughs upon knowing I am good timing him. As usual he won’t open it and keep teasing me, it smells good and etc.,as I am also excited to know what’s inside I keep insisting to let me see it, but the more I insist the more he won’t open the box. So when I told him I am not interested to know what’s inside and never gave him a single look while he is teasing me, he opened it immediately.
The box contains 2 shirts, few under wears, chocolates and my stuff. As it is not my clothes I am not authorize to take photo of them . Lol!
These are my stuffs, samples from different companies which I mailed to Canada, when I asked him if he asked Mom to mail them, he replied no so I am so happy when they are included in the box.
I thought these perfumes are on a bottle but I was wrong they are just a tiny drop on a small sachet.
Snacks: Chocolate Puffs
Most people loves chocolate so much, same with me. As I have told before I am not into chips, corn chips or any salty chips, because I am into chocolate puffs or choco puffs in short. Well I love potato as well, so I go with potato chips too which I seldom eat.
Anyway I don’t know what to called these puffs but if the flavor is cheese we called them cheese puff isn’t it? So this is chocolate flavor so chocolate puffs. This is food what makes me happy when I am still kid and my first choice whenever I went to store for sweet cheats.
Shopping for Cake Breads and Potato Chips
My Goal is to Loss Weight so after gym yesterday I weigh myself again and to my depression instead of losing weight I am gaining, Pookie bear says it is because of my diet. He laughed at me after knowing my weight because I laughed at him when to told me he loss 2 pounds.
I have told him I am gonna loss 5 kilos in one month (lol), anyway as it is are cheat day yesterday we went to Nong Hyup instead to Kim’s Club Mart where we usually goes during Friday. My goal of losing weight already forgotten, I grab few cakes (bread) and potato chips. So wish me luck girls, I already slowly dropped eating chocolates and as of now I am craving for ice cream but being penniless stopped my craving and Pookie bear seems helping me 🙁
Shopping: Naughty Cat Earrings and Accessories
As I have blogged yesterday I went out to buy iron supplements for me, before buying it I’ve seen a newly open store where there’s a lot of Korean girl’s in chaos. So after I went to the pharmacy I went inside the store, oh well the store looks like Redeye where the primary products are earrings, hair accessories, key chains and other small accessories. I took a little basket and I also look around like others, its kind of busy and there’s really a lot of girls, grown up and even primary students busy on choosing key chains maybe for their bags. I don’t think they already appreciate bangle earrings eh, so they are on key chain stands which are made in different shapes, animals and cartoons.
A feeling of luxury and the pursuit of cuteness accessories – Naughty Cat
The store has no counter yet, the guy was just standing in a tall chair with a head microphone and speaking something on their language, and usual I am into earrings even though I can’t used them as we don’t always go out, aside from taking sight seeing plus it is also very unfashionable to wear long earrings and you are wearing pants, t-shirt and rubber shoes. Hehe, So I just bought them to keep or somehow for my sister or else it can be a good business for my mother to sell few Korean accessories, and I am going to save for that. Hehe
My Box of Polysaccharide Iron Complex
As I have blogged lately I am bored but I just found out it is not really boredom, it is simply tiredness. I am not very energetic, I even feel weak going to gym. I already observed for the past few months that I always got a cold feet and hands, my husband keep teasing me I am a cold blooded. If before wearing socks can comfort me these past few days it won’t anymore, I still feel cold not my entire body but as what I have said just my feet and hands. So last night I research what does this feeling cause, so here’s what I have found out:
- Parasites
- Allergies
- Hypo-Thyroidism
- Anemia
- Candida
So today I went out to buy iron supplements. The pharmacist gave me two kinds of iron supplement I picked this one because this is the cheapest for $55.08, the other one is times two. It is 120 tablets good for 4 months. When I reached home, Pookie bear asked me to return it to the pharmacy because it is very expensive just for iron supplements but I didn’t follow him because it is such an embarrassment. So the end result I have to pay for it, my three weeks allowance was gone. Huhuhu
Just a little information Anemia is a decrease in number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood and is the most common disorder of the blood. Some common ymptoms are feeling of weakness, or fatigue, general malaise and sometimes poor concentration. They may also report dyspnea (shortness of breath) on exertion. In very severe anemia, the body may compensate for the lack of oxygen-carrying capability of the blood by increasing cardiac output. The patient may have symptoms related to this, such as palpitations, angina (if preexisting heart disease is present), intermittent claudication of the legs, and symptoms of heart failure.
Assorted Korean Donuts
Here’s a serving of donuts, I love these donuts because they are so sweet and in different flavor too, the bigger one is like a sandwich donut with meat, onion, garlic and mayonnaise, the other one is a red bean donut and of course my favorite, I don’t know donut (lol), because I don’t know what’s inside it is white paste and I like it.
Shopping: Nivea on Sale – Extra White
I consider myself as Nivea baby already, most of my personal stuff are Nivea products aside from Dove. Here’s my weekend loot, as expected when ever I visit Watsons I will surely went out the store with a plastic bag on my hand. My plan is just to Nivea roll on because the last time I visit at Watsons it’s a less cheaper than in supermarket, and I was right because there’s a new promo, Nivea roll on + a spray for $7.00 as I am looking around my eyes caught the word 1+1, so I grabbed Nivea Soft for $5.38, it is a moisturizing cream. Their Nivea Lotion (Moisture) is also on sale, 400ml+250ml for $7.99 I would like to buy one but I have more than five lotions so I just thought it is not that important as this time.
Anyway I also bought a Watsons moisturizing hand soap with strawberry and yoghurt extract, I don’t use hand soap except for bath soap so this will be added to my collections.
