Hello Kitty Case
Anyway I have bought this Hello Kitty case upon arriving in the bus terminal , I always see this in the terminal pharmacy and I always want to buy these case, but I don’t how to ask “how much”. When I came near the pharmacy yesterday I’ve seen a tag price so I bought one without knowledge what is inside.
When I reached home I removed the plastic and opened it and these what I have found (below). I don’t know what are they, Pookie bear says it might be candies because there’s cal short for calories in the case. But as I looked in the tablets there’s 1000mg written plus they are manufactured by health companies. I don’t wanna eat/take them in to my body without knowing what is it, who knows it might be a medicine for something.
I have tried my best to search for it, like Hello Kitty candies, case and etc.,I have also search for the health company but I cannot find this product on there archives and I can’t find any thing that resemble what I have bought online. I also want the words to be translated but I almost lost my hope, my plan is just to throw the tablets because all I have wanted is the case.
So the wise me search for the Korean words online, like the letters written on the case, bit by bit I have found them. This Korean words 헬로키티 means HELLO KITTY but I have a serious problem with second word so I have search for a virtual Korean keyboard online and the problem I don’t know what is consonant and vowels, I just experiment on the Korean letter and finally learn how to have this letter 얼티비타 when I translate it on Google it says Eoltibita darn I don’t know what does it means just lucky that google corrected it and says Did you mean: 멀티비타 so I clicked it and the result MULTI VITA, in short it is a multi-vitamins. I had a mistake with the consonant I written 얼 instead of 멀. Thanks to Google everything is possible on language barrier!
Redeye Earrings and accessories
This is what I shopped yesterday at the subway station upon going home, it’s a new opened store named Redeye (probably read Red Eye), its new because the last time I went to Seoul the store is not yet there. A lot of young ladies are also inside don’t know if all of them are buying because they’re just keep on testing the other accessories in front of the mirrors.
I have bought some earrings they’re cute to wear during parties and normal days. The prices varied on the size and kind. I wish I had a lot of money so I can buy more accessories, they also have different kinds of watches, clips, key chains, head bands and other small stuff for accessories.
The long earrings has 14K GP but I don’t know if it is real.
Kerasys Conditioner
It is almost two o’clock in the afternoon and I just wake up, feel so tired for sleeping so late like four o’clock in the morning.
Last night we went to Kim’s Mart to buy sausages, as I walked around the aisle of goods I have found Kerasys shampoo and conditioner are on sale. So I requested Pookie bear if he can buy one for me I can’t do it anymore because I am zero balance. Thanks and he did, so I have a lot of conditioner now. When we went home he asked if this conditioner is for me or into the box to the Philippines. Well I said its for me and for sure it is going to change when my old conditioner reached its last drop where I managed to put water so I am not going to waste it.
Shopping at Watsons for the second time
Yesterday I have blogged about my shopping experience at Watsons well you know me one is not enough so last night I returned to Watsons and finally take photo of the newly open store. I went out to supermart last night to buy tomatoes and soy milk and then went to Watsons because my sole purpose was to buy M & M’s chocolate because I am saving the first set I have bought for my mother and sister. When I went inside I wander around the shelves and I decided to buy another Nivea Lotion (Sparkling White), and there I have found out Moisturization lotion is a little expensive the Sparkling white so I just bought the latter again and bought Pantene shampoo because they are buy 1 take 1 too. I also bought a little bottle of Moisturizing and Strengthening Olive Shampoo it is a Watsons Product.
When I pay at the counter the guy gave me free samples, darn when I shopped in the morning they don’t give me anything even my purchased cost a lot than the second time. When I went home I look for the receipt inside the Watsons bag but can’t find it. Well maybe they don’t give receipts or their printer is not yet working.
As of now I am going to be grounded for few weeks, no more going out or shopping because I spend all my allowance yesterday. My allowance was saved because Pookie bear gave it to me late, and hey did I tell you I also asked advanced allowance last night so I can buy chocolates?
I have a lot of stuff today but it is not all for me, I am planning to send another sweet box home and I am gonna save for the postal fee sooner or later ..
Watsons shopping story
I went to the bank today to pay our bills, after it I am thinking between going home or going to the supermarket to look for sale. But neither of the two wins because I decided to walk at the shopping district to have a window shopping rather than walk in the national road. So as far I saw winter jackets are on sale 20-50%, I did not bother to look at them because I know even it is 50% sale it is still expensive because the stores are signature brand. As I reached Dunkin Donuts I was surprised to see that the clothing store is already a Watsons shop so I went inside, my plan is just to look around but when I saw the word SALE I forgot everything. I went to Men’s Section because I am planning to buy gift for Pookie bear, I am already holding a Calvin Klein Perfume and Nivea Shaving gel when I saw Mise En Scene (Oil Free Fresh Lotion), I don’t know what is it but I found it cute so I am looking at it when the sales lady told me it is buy one take one, so I put two on my little basket and I walk around…
While looking around I have found out that Nivea Sparking White and Moisturizing lotion are also in sale, so I grabbed the two lotions and get one Nivea Creme because my creme is almost finished. I also buy an Elastine conditioner because my Dantrol conditioner is also saying goodbye.
As I continue walking around I’ve seen M & M’s chocolate, darn this chocolate is pretty expensive in our place (Philippines) in my twenty four years of existence as far as I remember I just ate this chocolate two-three times and it is not a full packed either but “tikim-tikim” to classmates who can afford or have a relative abroad. So I grabbed two different package thinking that my mother and sister will like this chocolates. Looking at my little basket I found out I cannot afford all of the stuff so with a heavy heart I returned the “Calvin Klein” perfume with a promise I’ll buy you next time. Lol! So I walked on the ladies section looking for ponds whitening cream but they have none except for Pearl white and whitening foam so I grabbed two Snickers Almond Bar instead in the adjacent tray.
Then I pay in the counter, it looks like they have a promo if you shop with a certain amount you are qualify for a draw of DSLR camera but for sure they won’t count me in, haha. Anyway my stuff is W604 short to qualified, I spend $44.06 for my Watson shopping today. I forgot to take photo of the store because of the icy ice, so cold to remain outside.
When I reached home I thought Pookie bear was already home but he is not yet, as I finished changing my clothes to home clothes I heard foot steps outside the door and cleaning the shoes with ice and dirt in the pavement. So I hurriedly push the Watson bag below the bed, and after few minutes I gave him my gift the shaving gel first which I manage to put in box while his changing his clothes. Then next the Mise en Scene products which we both don’t know how it works. Lol! Mr. Google gonna help me..
He said thank you then he told me I should save my money for my own but then after wards he asked where’s his Christmas gift because I told him that’s my New Year (Chinese) and Valentines gift. I replied that’s three item so it is included. Lol, now what I am going to save is for his birthday four months from now, thinking if I should buy him the Calvin Klein perfume or the men’s wallet in Artscow.

Herz Corner and a shopping story
As being addicted to beauty products I have come to an idea of making my own online store called Herz Corner , I just started it today so there’s only few products for sale but if you know some items you can tell me what you like. If you order and pay before December 21, 2010 it is 30-40% less on the price of a specific product. I would love to extend it up to December 31, but I can’t make it because I’ll be out of the country. Please take a visit by clicking the banner or the link.
Here’s a shopping story tonight after gym I decided to visit Missha, all I want is the lotion but the dork me decided to get another shower cologne, and then try the other tester. I am opening one product but is darn hard anyway I succeeded but after wards the lid/cap hit the floor so I have to pick it and it creates a sound that one of the sales lady came near me to help and then she found out what I tested is NOT a tester. That means it is brand new, darn it was put in the tester place, anyway to avoid any arguments or what ever I just put the product on my little basket in short I pay for it. Always remember a tester has a tag TESTER don’t just grab and spray. Hehe
I’ll visit you guys tomorrow I run out of time today. Goodnight have a sweet dreams!
Sale Addiction: Itchy Feet – to shop or not?
Around ten o’clock in the evening I have an itchy feet, itchy to go outside even it is -7°C. I am itchy to go to Missha again and buy another box of lotion. I just love the way the box looks like, honestly I don’t know if I am going to use all the colognes, gels, lotions I have bought yesterday because I still have three bottle of Avon perfume here, two are remain untouched. Maybe if I can’t used them I am going to send them to Philippines again just the way I did with the stuffs I bought on sale or else host another giveaway next year.
Anyway I managed to control my itchy feet, as it says you need to count 1 to 10, so I think thrice not just twice if I really need it. Plus if I went out to buy more I am going to be broke for the next two weeks which is I don’t like but the other part of my mind says it is okay because 50% sale only happens once and I can’t buy it anymore in a less price. Well I have controlled myself tonight and I am hoping I can also do it tomorrow especially the shop is just in front of the gym where we are working out, we are on the third floor and every time I looked below I can see the store. Praying that the 50% promotion on their glass window is gone so I will not be tempted to go inside. I need to control this addiction of mine, addiction to SALE.
Anyway I’m just happy to announce that I won a blog make-over at Just Another Pixel Thirty on 30 Blog Contest giveaway. I don’t know if I can bid goodbye to my lovely pink template I wish I won a cash prize that can be added to my paypal funds. Haha, choosy! Anyway I am happy because at least I won another contest and I am not just thank you girl. Looking forward for the new make-over by Sis Grace of dressupyourblogs.com.
Confession, at first I am not used with the word Sis because my younger siblings and I don’t call each other sis or sister just simply our nicknames but everybody kept calling me Sis and it is a shame not to return the favor so right now I am already used with Sis. Okay ba Sis? Teheee, darn now I copy my husband expression too.

Missha is on sale: My escapades in Seoul
I was very tired yesterday, I arrived here in our apartment at 7:30 in the evening from Seoul. Well at least it is positive, yes we got a Bangladesh visa so I’ll be out of touch next week. Just hoping when I returned I am not going to be lazy to blog, sigh.
Yesterday as I am going to go to the subway platform I have seen a lot of ladies in MISSHA, one of the popular beauty/cosmetic/ store here in Korea. They are up to 50% SALE I have also seen it in our place but I didn’t know it is all over MISSHA. So I also get in and try the testers, when I came out I smelled with different sprays and fragrances, including lotions. I have also one bag of Missha products with me.
After buying the desired products I rushed to the subway platform I don’t want to be late to pick-up our passports eh. Well I was on time actually 25 minutes early for 4:30 PM. I try to open the door but it is closed, so I waited outside and one Korean national and Bangladeshi came, the first guy also try to open the door but he can’t so we waited outside until one guy came out the room and then we came in. After picking up our passport I went to Itaewon instead of taking the subway again I just walked to the place, I almost get lost because I took a different route I went to antique shops just so thankful that Hamilton Hotel is too big not to notice so I find my way to the busy street of Itaewon, I walked around and finally enter a souvenir shop. I found souvenir shirts but when I saw a Korean doll I take it instead. After paying the doll I return to the subway so I can take a bus and go home. After one more transfer I arrived at the subway where I have bought my stuffs, the dork me went inside again. When I pay at the counter the lady looks surprised to see me again, lol. I got the six o’clock bus and I am very lucky that I was on time three minutes before the bus leaves when I bought a ticket. There’s some vacant seats at the back I decided to transfer so I can eat my gimbap rolls. Yes I never eaten yet since I wake-up and left home around one o’clock in the afternoon.
After one hour we arrived on our city, its pretty cold eh. While walking I saw the MISSHA shop just in front of the gym, the dork me came in again and when I came out with one bag of Missha again. That’s why I had two bags. As what I told before I love SALE, and I can’t resist with the temptation of 50% Sale. I saved a lot I only pay $20.26 including tax instead of $37.69.
When I came home, expect the expected. My husband nagged asked at me instead of me nagging at him actually until I wake up he is nagging at me. He asked me what how much did I spend with my trip to Seoul when I returned the change. Seeing what I bought he asked me where I got the money especially I have a Korean doll and etc., well I used my allowance buying the doll. What makes him pissed off of me when he knows I did not eat. He told me I gave you money to eat and not to shop. He asked me to withdraw 50 thousand won ($43.73) and I returned 15,000 won ($13.12) as changed. I used 12 thousand won ($10.49) as fare and the rest which is $20.11 shopping for sale. I think it is just fair because I also used my own money for buying gimbap rolls (hahaha) and pay additional 15 cents to my stuffs.
Anyway this morning afternoon he keeps nagging at me, darn due to tiredness last night I left the egg shells in the sink which he said not to do it. Anyway it is washed so it doesn’t stink, he said it is also pay back time for disturbing him when he is busy in front of his computer because he knows I don’t like to be nagged / scolded when I just wake up. Well that’s life, I have to learn my lesson if I want my allowance coming. Be a lazy blogger but not a lazy wife. Teheeee…
P.S.
I can hear the air siren right now, when I ever heard it, it sounds danger to my ears. I guess it is just a practice because I can’t hear people rushing outside.
I love SALE and how much more if 90% less…
I just got a new shoes despite my husband don’t like me buying things I don’t need. I still have my old shoes which is one year this October. Well who am I to fight the battle of SALE? Yes S-A-L-E the store is 90% sale, I don’t know if this shoes is included can’t read the paper posted, I would love to take picture but I might insult the owner (lol). Well blessings in disguise that I bought a new shoes because I can now wash the old one, in one year it was just washed one time after our trip to Sri Lanka . This shoes cost 10,000 won or $8.88, as far as I known the cheapest shoes in Seoul cost $17.75 or less, so I saved a lot. I even tell my husband this shoes cost $26.63 and he believed me? Not so sure, Lol! Well I did not buy it on the street but in the shopping district where some of the expensive brands are located. If Filipinos loves original I could say Korean loves more, most of the shoes, clothes and apparel here are known names like Nike, Guess, Crocodile and a lot more. But I guess my shoes is not original, I can’t find the word Do Be in the internet as what it is marked in the inside. Well what matter most its cheap than the cheapest.
Anyway I don’t know what’s going on with the store why they are on sale on high rate, maybe they’re already closing, transferring or going to migrate. The only thing I can read clear is 90% (lol). Anyway no matter what their reason is I love my shoes. I wish to return again they had a lot of pants which are in sale too and so far it the cheapest clothes store I have encountered here in Korea. Lastly maybe their products are from China that’s why cheap. Lol!
