Chinese Food for Valentines Dinner

Home and Living, Life in South Korea February 12th, 2011 | 3 Comments »

Hi guys been busy lately, we had dinner date tonight to celebrate Valentines day in advance because 14th will be on Monday and Pookie bear has to work and he is also on diet during weekdays. So we headed to grill house at the second floor of Kim’s Club Mart it is buffet grill house, so as we open the door we find out it is a restaurant where you are going to sit in the floor and it is quite full so we retreated because Pookie bear don’t like the idea of sitting in the floor. So we just headed inside the Kim’s Club Mart and look for something we are gonna like I ended buying something.

Slice Pork with Sauteed Pimentos

Since the plan didn’t work out Pookie bear asked me where I want to eat, to make it short we ended to eat in  Chai Wok a Chinese restaurant for Valentine’s Dinner. Look at the plate below isn’t it a heart? Just on time for Valentines day huh?

Stir-fried rice with chicken

After eating dinner we went to Lotte Super looking for dental floss we’ve been looking for it since last week but we cannot find in the nearby stores. After it we headed to the supermarket we usually shop, and this is what I got with other house supplies…

A bar or bars of chocolates?

When we passed along Barunson a gift shop with a lot of big teddy bears Pookie bear asked me if I want one when I pointed the store to him, I say no. I am just being practical that we cannot carry a lot of stuffs whenever we planned to left Korea in the future.

Pookie bear says just think that our Valentines dinner is our buffet dinner in Seoul.

Prince J and the dragon named Ryanne

Home and Living February 11th, 2011 | 6 Comments »

Hi guys because love is on the air I decided to blog all about love until Valentines Day, hope you enjoy our story it is not yet finished though. Don’t know if we are going to finish it, Pookie bear got the idea of composing a story when he know I love to write love story, so he started it and the blue paragraphs was written by me, we wrote this when we are not yet married I don’t know what happened why I was not able to write the next paragraph so I wrote the continuation tonight. As far as I remember both of us became so busy working on our wedding detail especially me making our own invitations, working for the reception and etc.,
It was a beautiful, sunny morning. There was a slight breeze and the scent of flowers filled the air. As Ryanne ( ) slept blissfully, nothing but the sweet song of birds could be heard in the meadow adjacent to her house. At 9:00 the alarm went off and it was time for Ryanne to start her day. She tried to shake off that feeling of fatigue that we all have in the morning. For eventhough she looked like she slept blissfully, she was tormented by a recurring dream, some would even say a nightmare, of her being turned into a dragon by the evil and dastardly Prince J.  Yes, he just had one letter in his name, but he was so evil, that’s all he needed. Anymore, and he would have been super-evil. Anyway, back to our story. Ryanne got out of bed and walked to the window. What a beautiful morning she thought.
At Fort Santiago
She sighs after reminiscing something on the past. She never thought things will be like this. How she hated to be alone, to face all the blank walls on her room. How many times she did ask her self, why she feel so selfless? After Prince J, turned her to a dragon something magical occurs, she is not the Ryanne she always knows. She is not like this before, she never feels selfless before, she can return home without trouble but it was yesterday. She had her deep sigh again. A strange feeling is torturing her If there’s only one who can understand her thoughts, her mere dreams and nightmares.
How many times she got her bad dreams, running nowhere in the middle of the long cold night, looking for the pair of eyes she seen somewhere in her life journey. If she could only see again that pair of eyes who makes her to feel selfless but Prince J really annoyed her, his evil deeds makes her to shiver from fear. She wants to fight back…but she can’t.  She is a prisoner of her own feelings…   
She painfully moves out from the window. This is another day of humiliations… How she wishes Prince J make her a dragon forever….
At Bahay Tsinoy
But this was not to be her fate….her destiny was down a different path. She just didn’t realize it yet. Ryanne prepared for the day ahead of her, always thinking, always wondering. Would she be alone forever, never knowing what it was like to be loved, never knowing the sweet taste of a loved one’s kiss, never gazing into someone’s eyes and being lost in that gaze for what seemed like a lifetime……but she shook off these feelings and went about her tasks.
After Ryanne returned home from a long day of labouring, she sat down to a quiet and peaceful meal with her family. Her father looked at her with happiness, while her mother gazed upon her knowing that she had raised a beautiful, sweet, kind, loving, caring, intelligent and funny daughter. But little did they know how Ryanne was tormented by feelings of loneliness and constant dreams of being turned into a dragon by the evil Prince J. Once dinner was over and Ryanne helped her mother clear the table, she retired to her bedroom, hoping and praying that her nightmares involving Prince J would not give her another sleepless night. As she lay her head on the pillow and sleep closed in on her, her mind filled with that horrible dream. She struggled to wake up, to escape from her nightmare, but it was not to be. She was trapped, and she didn’t know how to get out.
At last she’s awake, she thought she won’t wake up anymore. As she returned to reality a decision was made, she will hug her delusions and mere dreams. She will not going to regret to be a dragon for ever just to be with Prince J. He loves him so much no matter how evil he is, she sneak outside the house with a heart full of love. She doesn’t know the way to his kingdom but her heart will lead the way…

As I am looking for a travel photo of mine in my Friendster account I have stumbled on this scanned document, this is the longest poem I have written when I am still in college, I submitted this in a literary contest in our school paper and it won as first place or “Unang Karangalang Banggit” as what it is written after the poem.  Never received a prize from this contest but since then I became a contributor of our school paper I’ve never tried to join or take an exam to be part of the school paper because every time new staff is needed either I am nervous to take an exam, we have a class or we have no class and I am at home. You know the typical life of a family saving for another day, so no class, no allowance and no fare to town.

Anyway because it is almost Valentines day I am sharing this poem, my life, my crush,  my infatuation and rejection. I thought I have encoded it long time ago but I can’t find a soft copy of it.

Health Benefits of a Squash

Home and Living February 8th, 2011 | 2 Comments »

I have been busy yesterday tweaking the template of my travel blog, and later afternoon yesterday I have found out I don’t have enough time to do all my task online, Pookie bear class schedule changed for one week so we went to the gym a little late and  we came home from gym almost eight in the evening. I thought I will still have enough time to do all my task online but I am wrong.
Anyway as what I have said on my last post, I am having problem with my eyes that cause headache so I have think of eating squash. Lol, I just saute it with meat.

Do you know that squash has two main categories of squash are winter squash and summer squash,  winter squash is a low-calorie, good source of complex vegetable carbohydrates and dietary fiber
 
Squash is an excellent source of vitamin A, a great source of vitamin C potassium, dietary fiber and manganese, and a good source of folate, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B1 (thiamin), copper, tryptophan, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B3 (niacin) and vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid).

It is also a source of niacin, iron and beta carotene. Usually, the darker the skin is, the higher the beta carotene content.

My modeling stint

Home and Living February 4th, 2011 | 7 Comments »

I think every woman wants to be a model and I am one of those, toinks! Here’s some funny photos on my modeling stint last night, I almost got the job but when the director saw my two bunny teeth in the front he runs fast as he can. He-he-he, Joke only. Actually Pookie bear had told me I need to wear something formal if we are going to Seoul to eat into a buffet restaurant because it is inside a luxury hotel. I have no formal clothes, all of my clothes are maong pants, blouses and t-shirts. 
I have found these violet “graduation” gown on my clothes, I called it graduation gown because we bought it around March 2009 where most of the students are looking for the clothes to wear and this type of clothes became popular.  My mother told me to buy it so I have a formal clothes if ever Pookie bear and I will be invited to a party, so far we did not go to any party yet.
So yeah I found this violet gown and I modeled it to him if it is okay. Instead of liking it, he disagree “Walk like a lady!” Sorry dear, I thought I am still in a rubber shoes, so I walked again like walking in a flat form and he said “It’s okay”. But when he saw how I sit in the floor he exclaimed a BIG  BIG NO ,  I just said an excuse that I am not going to do it outside, its okay to do it here because I am at home. What did I do? Well I just sit like I am wearing a pants. He-he Anyway if you don’t know, I am like Ate Vi “star for all seasons” I can be a guy sometimes and I could be a lady too. Just to bad I am a fatty cow now..
Just want to take my sponsors, my box of junk, box for chocolates and jar of my candies for making this photo shoot possible. In short for being a “patungan” of my camera while being set on a timer. He-he

Lunar New Year Dinner

Home and Living February 3rd, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! I had a very busy day yesterday night preparing for our dinner, Pookie bear and I went out to look for something to eat, we headed to “Sawadee” what we believed a Thai Restaurant but when we reached the place we are right it is Thai  but it is not a restaurant  it is a massage center at the second floor of Korean restaurants. 
It looks like most of the establishments are closed for the Lunar New Year so we just wander around the city until we reached Baskin’ Robbins, I feel like eating ice cream so I went inside while Pookie bear decided to wait outside because he said he don’t want any, it went perfectly but not upon taking it out. The young guy asked me something which I cannot understand and in the end when he picked something inside the bucket “he is talking ice” if I want to put ice on my take-out bag.
After having my ice cream we walked again and Pookie bear decided to take out box of pizza at Pizza School unfortunately it is closed so we decided to head on to Kim’s Mart where we bought some dumplings, meat and carbonated milk.
I have soaked the meat on soy sauce, lazy lime, garlic, black pepper and onions and then fried it. It looks yummy right?

Then fried the kimchi dumplings too. It is kind of spicy because of the kimchi even it has a meat.

That’s how we celebrate Lunar New Year last night, eating these foods while watching horror movie  Psych 9, as the dessert we ate the ice cream from Baskin’ Robbins and my bag of M & M’s Chocolate. It’s a simple but happy Lunar New Year dinner
