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!

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.

| My self timer photo in Itaewon, thanks to the stairs. |
I went to Seoul today to meet my cousin, I did not catch the one o’clock but so no choice but to got the 1:30 bus ride to Seoul. Out of my expectation the moment we enter the city its traffic, buses and cars are not moving, the other passengers are already getting bored and they went to the driver to ask if they can just walk probably also had commitment and they are getting late. I don’t understand what they are talking but base on their movements it looks like the driver wouldn’t like the idea of letting his passengers wander in the street, maybe he is thinking he is going to be responsible if his passengers meet an accident, so we moved slowly and after few minutes the driver tell something I could not understand it again but when I saw the other passengers moving out the bus I followed. The driver is instructing something I just walk and follow the other passengers and that’s how I found that what the driver is talking about “just walk straight into the subway”. As I went into underpass I really can’t hold my pee that I’ve been holding since we enter Seoul. So I was relieved when I found a comfort room sign. I was almost lost looking for the subway station because the underpass I’ve get in was also a large shopping center below the bus terminal, so I have made my way into the group of shoppers and hurriedly load my card, as I am going down for the train I’ve seen a pay phone. So I tried dialing my cousin’s number but my coin just keep on falling in the change compartment. Running out of time because it is already three o’clock I have told my cousin we have to meet between two and three o’clock in the afternoon.
Just so lucky when I went down there’s a train going to where am I going, I get out the train walking/running I transferred to Yaksu. I also found a pay phone and I tried to dial again, it is ringing but after it a Korean operator is saying something and my time is running so probably its a leave a message scheme. Feeling worried I board another train to Itaewon, I just had the feeling that my cousin had already left. When I reached Itaewon I run so fast to the exit and look for a pay phone. There I have dialed and your guess is right as mine, she already left thinking I am not going to show, because when I reached our meeting place it is almost one hour after three o’clock.
So what I am going to do then, I just came and I am also going home, it feels like I just wasted money to step in Itaewon, feeling anxious what to do I went out to Itaewon and had a short walk and take some photos then return to the subway and to the bus terminal where I came from.
On the subway station near the terminal I went inside the newly open store I have first saw when I arrived but due to running out of time I didn’t went in, so I have a lot of free time right at the time so I shopped for some stuffs. It is going to be another blog.

| Traffic going to Seoul |
To cut the story short I bought my bus ticket, then buy some present for Pookie bear. I didn’t got the five o’clock bus, so have to wait twenty minutes for the next bus other passengers are getting confused because there’s 5:20 and there’s 5:30. The bus is almost full when a guy who checks if the bus is full or not came to our seat (I have seatmate a Korean lass) he is showing another half of a ticket to me so I showed him my ticket he was surprised like something so he asked my seatmate and that’s where they found out my seatmate has 5:30 time on his ticket, maybe he is also number 28 and maybe he also thought I am a dork stealing his seat. Lol! Anyway I think the Korean man checked the tickets and found out there’s 5:30 time on it that’s why he came to us.
So we left the terminal and my seat mate is already a young lady, as it is expected it’s traffic so we are informed we are going to have a detour to avoid traffic but it seems most vehicles thought the same thing so we are still stuck in traffic, our one hour bus trip became two hours and few minutes. It looks like people are going home for Chinese New Year, and enjoy the long weekend. It is going to be holiday here starting tomorrow. It’s a long weekend, Pookie bear is thinking to go to Seoul on weekend and had a buffet. There will be a grand opening of a restaurant in Itaewon, that serves sushi and international food. It is going to be a party..

As what I have said on my previous blog I am going to Seoul tomorrow to meet a cousin of mine, I am a little nervous like I am always be on meeting someone. Darn I am really that anti-social that I am not used of meeting people alone. I can’t carry Pookie bear with me because he has a class to teach so I have to face my social fear alone, this a another step to got the changes I am wishing for, remember Ate Mhel’s contest?
Anyway every time we are going to Seoul I will never forgot to buy gimbap rolls in the restaurants in the terminal especially if I didn’t eat anything at home before leaving, so I am looking forward for another set of this tomorrow.

I am not feeling well today and it is my fault. I have been hooked up using my laptop everyday and because of that I am too lazy to eat my meals. Yesterday I did not eat any rice I was too busy tweaking a new template to my other blog, when I wake up Pookie bear made a cup of coffee for me and strawberry/peanut butter sandwich (that’s how sweet he is sometimes especially if he want to experiment something on my drink) it was my brunch, then in the evening I just ate two pieces of chocolate and a bread rolls which I bought from Kim’s Mart last night too in spite of the cold temperature outside I went out to buy some stuffs.
I can’t sleep well last night my stomach and my back is bothering me so I wake us early as ten o’clock to cook rice and fried some egg plant. I have eaten already and now drinking a cup of hot coffee but my back is still bothering me plus my eyes feel blurry. I don’t wanna go the gym tonight but I don’t think Pookie bear will believe me because we always had a kind of tug of war every time we go to the gym. Hoping I am going to feel better tomorrow because I am going to meet my cousin in Seoul, she’s gonna be there to claimed her passport so she asked me if we can meet, I don’t know what will happen this will be the first time meeting/talking to her because they lived in a different province in Philippines ‘we have met before but no bonding at all because I am still young and she’s older so she’s always with our older cousin, we also had a misunderstanding last year that brought a lot of tears to me. It feels so awkward meeting her but I have to do it so my other relatives will not say I am being boastful or other term for it.

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.

Hi everyone I am too busy last night, after gym I’ve done two loads of laundry and cook two kinds of dishes, my Chicken Kimchi Stew and Pookie bear’s egg. When I am finally finished I am able to eat my dinner and this is what left on
one whole piece of chicken after I ate three pieces of it. Someone already had a party while the soup is hot. Your right Pookie bear almost ate the whole chicken, he even exclaimed it is very hot(spicy) when the soup touches his throat, because I think I put too much kimchi.

We’re sleeping last night this morning when suddenly Pookie bear rise up “Did you hear that?” I said yes, he actually thought I am the one making noise but I told him it was not me when we heard the noise again. He asked me to turn on the light because I am near in the switch but I am darn scared that I hide inside my thick blanket especially he keep saying that it is coming from my side. A little pissed off of me by acting like a baby he get off the bed to turn on the light in our room trying to figure out where the noise coming from. As both of our eyes are into my “rubbish” beside my bed we have found out it is my pink bag that’s making noise it is slowly falling from the top of the box into the floor touching my other stuff from behind. Pookie bear told me to clean my stuff today, well I did but there’s still more in the floor like my pen holder, candy box and jar, knapsack and my box full of junk (notebooks, paper, pamphlets, photo books,pictures and etc.,) .
I am just too lazy sometimes that I just put my camera, batteries, head phone, coin purse, bags, box of cookies or chocolate in the floor so whenever I sit in the floor while doing my task I will just grab it without standing.
Food and Recipes, Home and Cooking January 27th, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Yesterday I have been hooked up to blogging and clicking my paid to click sites after going to Watsons so I forgot to eat my breakfast and lunch. Using the left over tomato in the fridge I fried it with scrambled eggs as I have done cooking I set it aside in our bed as if presenting it to Pookie bear “What is that crap?” he said upon seeing it. I told him it is eggs and tomatoes, he never gives attention to me as I am eating.
After eating my late brunch and early dinner, I continue with my online task and left my left over eggs and tomatoes on top of the microwave oven. When it’s time to eat his meal he tasted the crap, and he likes it so much that he requested me to cook for him on his next meal. That’s why I went out last night to buy tomatoes and soy milk and then headed to Watsons again.
So last night I cooked twice of eggs and tomatoes for him since he wanted more, thrice if mine is included. Pookie bear told me from now on if he said he want special egg for his meal that’s it, tomatoes and eggs. How ironic, that the food he called crap, he is it calling now special, Lol, it is special for him, he doesn’t know “halos mapurga na ako sa kakain niyan sa Pinas” aside from Sardines with “Miswa” or Upo that’s one of our main dish especially in the morning.
Anyway, my ingredients:
eggs, tomatoes, salt, oil, garlic and onions
Procedure:
- Scramble the eggs
- Saute the garlic and onion until brown
- Add the tomatoes and cooked until it tender
- Add the scrambled eggs and mixed it in the pan
Oh wait, I added mono-sodium in my recipe, guess what happened. Pookie bear’s had a headache last night and his sinusitis bothers him. He is allergic to mono-sodium, so no more vetsin next 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 ..
