One of the important of owning and raising a healthy and smart dog is training them properly with this dog training aids are developed to help the owner and his dog to have healthy companionship. Using dog whistle is extremely effective technique on training your dog for the first time, the whistle can make a range of noise that is usually outside of the human range of hearing.
With the constant noise from our neighbors dogs my husband decided to buy dog whistle online. The barking of the dogs are really disturbing and irritating that we can sleep well when they started barking. In few days we received the dog whistle and when the dogs started barking especially when we are on the hallway my husband started to use the whistle that made the dog cries more.

After watching the season finale of The American Baking Competition we agreed to have a cake last weekend, we’ve been watching the tv show since it started and we always end up craving for sweets and pastries. Originally I would like to buy chocolate cake but my husband tired of me always buying chocolate cake requested me to have something new so I choose macaroons mocha cake it was bit expensive because it is larger than the others. When my husband saw the cake his first impression is we already have that, well I have no choice because he doesn’t like chocolate cake and I am pretty sure he will not like white chocolate cake, blueberry yoghurt cake or strawberry yoghurt cake and other fruity cake and I didn’t mention anymore that there’s cheese cake.
Well I am the first one who eat the cake, to enjoy it I also prepare a cup of coffee while watching a local show. The cake was good and the mocha taste was great, love the macaroons as well.
After hours I felt hungry again but I doesn’t like eating cake again because too much sugar already so I ate the left over Bulgogi pizza we had on Friday. Within just few minutes I had a terrible headache with nausea and I ended up throwing out the food I have eaten. I first believed that my food intolerance strike again, I experience this when I eat food which is not freshly cook or meat that is not fresh.

My family owns few cats some of them are homeless cats that were adopted. Lebron was the tiny little cat that was given to my sister by her professor’s family when they worked with their thesis at their house. He was very cute and chubby then, right now he looks pitiful because the chickens in our backyard loves picking him and he always ended up on pitiful situation.
It seems the chickens loved picking Lebron eyes, I have already suggested to my mother that they should buy Eye-Mo or red eyes formula.

The other night at the gym while putting my shoes on one of our acquaintance started a conversation with me on what I am doing on my free time, if I have Korean friend, what do I do at home and etc., I simply replied surfing the net on her first question and no for having Korean friends because on my four years of existence in Korea I only met other people when I go out to shop and work out in the gym. Well she asked me if I want to come with her, at first I am rattled thinking it is going to be a church program but it turns out it was not. She asked me if I want to read history or probably story to the kids, if I want to teach English to them. I immediately say no and told her my English is not good but she insist that she thinks my English is good. Lol

When I told my husband about her invitation my husband immediate reaction is “but you’re English is not good” which I seconded and informed him that I declined her job invitation. It could be fine if I know I am fluent in English and I can work legally in Korea but as a dependent visa I am not allowed to work.

It was been raining for few days already and the rain yesterday was non-stop as I am trying to refill our water filter I have notice that the water from our kitchen faucet is yellowish, I immediately turn off the water and throw the water in our water filter. I let the faucet run for few minutes but still the water has yellowish color so I waited for my husband to came home so I can inform him about our water problem, I just drink fresh milk to fed my thirst.

When my husband came home the water is still yellowish but when we tried the water in the bathroom sink it is clear so we don’t where’s the problem if it is due to heavy rain or the pipe is dirty. Anyway when we went to the gym that late afternoon I take the chance to drink a lot and even bring water home by filling bottle my husband did the same as well it looks like we are fetching drinking water from the gym.

Eating comfort food on the weekend is our routine after a long week work-out in the gym. This week we tried something new because we’ve been eating fried chicken from BHC a month already. We had 59 pizza this week, bulgogi and super combination pizza to be exact, when I ordered the girl didn’t know that I am going to order two pizza so she charged me for one order only so I have to do sign language.
My husband loves pizza so much that he can eat one large pizza in just one sitting so one pizza is not really enough for the two of us.

Many renters lose money by making mistakes of not reading their apartment contract before signing, on our part we have no contract with the property owner but my husband’s employer has. It was only lately that they found out that we have to pay maintenance fee every month, so we started paying two months after we moved to our apartment and few days after we are informed. It turns out we should also pay the maintenance fee from the first month we move in so when my husband received that memo I went to the bank to pay the two months balance, the next month we already pay on time which is every second of the month. But after few weeks my husband received a memo again about paying the maintenance fee, he was asked if he wants it salary deduction if paying monthly is such a burden. My husband was a little furious because we already pay maintenance fee good for 4 months, so he told his co-teacher about it.
My husband brought his bank book to show the proof of money transfers, and guess what it turns out the property owner doesn’t update his bankbook or didn’t look at it carefully.

Copying my husband’s meal is my favorite thing to do, I sometimes wonder what his meal taste like. He has different meal because he has his own diet plan. Unlike me that I could eat anything at any time, the other night I tried his egg meal which is styled like omelette, composed of only egg whites stuff with mozzarella cheese and meat inside. It was fried on small amount of olive oil.
My husband was annoyed at me when I complaint that it doesn’t taste good, no salt, pepper or garlic on it. Anyway last night he decided not to eat eggs anymore because he is already tired, his been eating egg whites since I can’t remember. He will stick to his whey protein and vegetable diet.

We had bruschetta the other my husband prepared the tasty Italian dish alone, he didn’t let me see what he is doing until it was ready. I have read that this is a wonderful summer appetizer and can be prepared with tomatoes, basil, garlic. Bruschetta has been popular in Italy since the 15th century and has different variations.
My husband uses these ingredients to prepare bruschetta with tomatoes – tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil leaves, baguette, parmesan cheese and salt. He just mixed the ingredients all together in a clean bowl and put the mixture in top of the sliced baguette, the bread should be toast but we have no oven in our apartment so this version of bruschetta for us is good to go.
