Eating bread with inside stuff is one of my favorite food to eat so when I saw croquette in Paris Baguette I immediately included two of them on my tray. I bought vegetable and chicken croquette but because we grilled steak I was not able to eat my croquette, I ate them the next day but the chicken croquette gives me a lot acid and made me sick.

A croquette is a small breadcrumbed fried food roll, the main ingredients, usually are mashed potatoes and/or ground meat (veal, beef, chicken, or turkey), shellfish, fish, cheese, vegetables and mixed with béchamel or brown sauce, and soaked white bread, egg, onion, spices and herbs, wine, milk, beer or any of the combination thereof, sometimes with a filling, e.g. sauteed onions or mushrooms, boiled eggs.

The heroic tale of Kabang (a dog from Philippines) became headline a year ago  when he lost half of her face after saving two girls from an oncoming motorcycle. Kabang attracted worldwide support because of her injuries, with donations from the Philippines and abroad covering her $27,000 treatment costs.

Kabang was brought to the US for treatment and surgery. Doctors at the University of California operated on Kabang’s wounds, and treated her for a tumor and heart worm but the doctor’s cannot reconstruct her face anymore so they took skin grafts from her cheeks, forehead and neck to cover up sensitive areas on her face. The good news despite this ordeal Kabang can still chew her food using her two remaining molars and can even use his sense of smell to recognized people around her.

Taping fliers on your door is normal in Korea, there are times we could find 2 or 3 food fliers taped in our door from different super market or restaurants, every month there’s a small booklet too full of advertisements from different food establishments. So the other day when I went out to throw our garbage in the bin for biodegradable waste I found a Lotte Super flier in our door. I brought it  inside and just left it on top of our microwave oven.

My husband look at the flier before going to work and he found  a deal for red meat, they are on 37% sale or ￦1,000 for 100g of red meat. We are planning to have grilled meat and this is such a good deal so instead of buying marinated meat in the nearby super market I went to Lotte Super bringing the flier to the meat counter.

We grilled the steak last night in our balcony using our electric grill unlike grilling pork this is very easy. I didn’t spend so much time grilling the meat as my husband requested for medium rare steak. It was just too bad we have no steak sauce because my husband thought he doesn’t need it but for the last minute he wants a steak sauce but he has no desire of going down to the supermarket. I can’t because I am busy in the balcony.

When I am done grilling most of the  meat, I marinated the two steak left on the basin using water, soy sauce, salt and brown sugar. I also pour salt on the other two meat I am currently grilling so it has taste aside from being meaty.

The two dogs of our next door neighbor are unbearable these days, they barked so much that it is hard to sleep at night or in the morning.  The dogs was already moved to new apartment when my husband complain to the owner that they barked too much but dunno what happened why they were return next door, what we are thinking is the next door neighbor of the dogs to the other apartment also complain about their excessive barking.

Just the other day my husband was annoyed for not having proper sleep before going to his work so when he passed on the next door neighbor and the dogs started barking again he shout to the dogs to stop and slam the door without knowing if the owner was there or not, as she is always not at home leaving the dogs alone in her apartment.

Responsible ownership doesn’t only means having the dog and giving them food to eat,  the owner should be responsible enough to take care of them when needed and not just leave them alone inside her apartment when she is not around most of the time.  She should not owned a dog when she has no time to pet or train them to stop barking excessively during wee hours. She should walk her pet daily,  make time to play with them and socialized them with other pets or human so they will not barked in just simple noise from the outside.

Being busy online leaves me no choice but to eat food that are easy to prepare and cook. So I often eat noodles, boiled or fried egg, fried spam and even sometimes instant meal. This is my meal the other night noodles and bread, it brings back memories because we typically eat noodles and bread during rainy season or breakfast.

I remember every morning eating noodles with egg and rice before going to school. That’s what my mother normally prepare to us every morning when we have no left over viand from the previous night, there are times too when we have extra money we have hot dogs or longganisa on our breakfast table.

Dog clothes was first seen on military or police dogs until such time it became popular to pet owners and became part of their fashion. Many pet owners want their dogs to be miniature version of themselves, they sometimes wore same clothing and accessories which can be bought on pet designer stores. There are many different outfits and costumes to different types of dog and knowing which one will fit to your dog can be a challenge. You have to decide if the clothing is for practical purposes or purely to make your dog look fashionable.

Dog clothes is not somehow popular in our city probably because only those who can afford buy clothes for their dog from pet stores. Mostly dog wearing clothes can be normally seen on movies and televisions, my mother and sister wanted Jihoo to be in fashion and trend like those dogs so  they find alternative way for him that won’t cost a lot or cut our budget. What they do is they bought baby clothes in a thrift store and voila Jihoo has its own clothes that he could wear anytime of the day, the clothes they bought in a thrift store is costly as low as P5.00 or  $0.11.

Well you should know that dog clothes can protect your dog from scratches, cuts and bad weather. Clothes can help them dry and warm during cold season. If you want your dog to be in fashion but no budget for it visit a thrift store in your place where you can find affordable small clothes that could fit your dog.

Motorcycle loan is somehow popular in the Philippines, most home owners has either one or two motorcycle at home. Motorcycle is a convenient ride rather than using public transportation every day. If you are dreaming of owning a brand new motorcycle but you have no cash for it you can easily get it from motorcycle companies or marketing company with the help of guarantor, down payment and complete papers that you are capable of paying monthly.

Finally my family’s motorcycle loan was fully paid already after paying three years every month. They took Fury 125 product of Kawasaki with P10,000 down payment and P2,530 monthly which is payable in three years.

The other day my husband craves for the cheese stick I bought from the canteen in the corner so he asked me to buy few and pepper twigim as well. When I went there it was a little busy it seems most of the Korean felt cold from the rain and decided to have street food to feel warm. I waited for my turn, when I ordered I just point the food I want and used hand sign for how many do I want to order.

I bought ten sticks of cheese sticks, I think is merely for a kid but we’d like it than the factory cheese sticks in the supermarket, they taste better and cheesy as well.

My husband asked me to buy five pieces gochu (pepper) twigim but I bought ten pieces,  the other five is for me. Hehe,

My husband asked me to buy double down sandwich from KFC but when I ordered it is sold out. Left no choice I bought burger instead, I had the zinger burger which is a bit spicy, it comes with french fries and medium size glass of coke.

The KFC in downtown has new meal for the month which is called Picnic Groove a family set which consists of burgers, cola, biscuits, corn, chicken and free four pieces of egg.

When I wake up this morning I heard a loud sound coming from the school nearby so when I went to the bathroom to pee I opened the window and peep and saw that there are some tents in the school playground of Shinha Elementary School. It looks like they are celebrating an affair,  I have no plan of checking what is it, I already took some photos from hallway and I think those are enough.

When my husband wake up blurted that he needs to listen to the loud music the whole day and tease me to check it because he said I am nosy, I didn’t listen and told him that I am not interested though there’s something on me that saying I have to take pictures. Well it happens that we have no toothpaste anymore so I went out and before going to Nonghyup Supermarket near Shinha Elementary School I took some pictures first at the gate.

I saw some men wearing an orange shirt probably their uniform, I didn’t walk further anymore I just zoomed my camera and took pictures of the tent, I was a bit shy for being nosy. Haha

When I translate 신히조등학교 종동문 it turns out they are celebrating alumni, I am not sure but it looks like it was alumni of male students.
