I woke up so late today but we are going to sleep early as we are going to wake up very early tomorrow, it is holiday tomorrow as it is the 100th Anniversary of the school. So we are finally going to hike, we have to leave here around five o’clock in the morning. Dunno if we are going to wake up without saying, let’s do it another day!
By the way here’s my share of yellow for today, picture of a newly open meat shop in the market, I have found it when we shopped at Kim’s Mart and seeing the air balloon or what ever you may call it, it is perfect for Mellow Yellow Monday!

As usual we sleep very late again but I wake up early today because I am waiting for my sister to get online as she is going to print her narrative report. Anyway as I have nothing to do I started dropping EC and adgitizing, it’s been a while since I visited back the bloggers who dropped by to my blog as I am kind of busy. I fell asleep after I finished adgitizing, I really cannot stay awake anymore, but I can’t sleep well because it is kind of noisy.
The nearby school, where Pookie bear is teaching is celebrating their 100th year Anniversary this week and it sounds like they’re going to have a big celebration because the program/celebration started this Sunday, music, cheers, singing and etc., can be hear. The school too is properly decorated, I wish to see what they are doing but I am too darn shameful to go there, so I’ll just be contented listening to the voice I can’t understand. Haha, I didn’t do anything much today as I am tired lazy to cook, I just ate instant noodles which is the other half is still waiting in the kitchen as it tasted so spicy for me. As of now, I still feel sleepy I might take a nap again later. Teheee!

Hi guys its been a while, yesterday the box from my Mother-in-law arrived. Pookie bear told me not to open it, so when he arrived he asked me if the box arrived, I replied no and then he started whining, haha. Then when he enter the room and see the box behind the door, he laughs upon knowing I am good timing him. As usual he won’t open it and keep teasing me, it smells good and etc.,as I am also excited to know what’s inside I keep insisting to let me see it, but the more I insist the more he won’t open the box. So when I told him I am not interested to know what’s inside and never gave him a single look while he is teasing me, he opened it immediately.
The box contains 2 shirts, few under wears, chocolates and my stuff. As it is not my clothes I am not authorize to take photo of them . Lol!
These are my stuffs, samples from different companies which I mailed to Canada, when I asked him if he asked Mom to mail them, he replied no so I am so happy when they are included in the box.
I thought these perfumes are on a bottle but I was wrong they are just a tiny drop on a small sachet.

All I can say is I am tired and not just feeling tired, I wake up very early and started tweaking, I have already tweaked my two other blogs but I am not still happy with my travel blog so I might change it again in the near future. Well I am now a certified self hosted wordpress blogger! Such a relief thinking my blog is safe from Blogger deletion (lol).
Last night Ate Belle installed everything for me which is I am very thankful of. (Thank you again Ate) Pookie bear keep asking me to do things as he knew I am busy so he keep disturbing me, he even feel a little mad to me because I don’t clean properly as I am always on hurry to be in front of my computer so today I cleaned around, clean the molds in the wallpaper, mop the floor with soap and bleach and clean the kitchen, cooked and be sure the sink is clean with no empty pan waiting to be clean when I am going to cook again. Haha, so right now I am dozed off, I already feel sleepy and really feel tired, sorry guys for not dropping to your blogs lately, I am busy and going to be busy again, I am not anymore studying but I need to make a narrative report for my sister, waaahhh. I didn’t not watch the movie so how can I make a narrative of it, they are the one who watched it at school, well it’s one of the rule of being an old sister, isn’t it?
I am excitedly waiting for the box of vitamins from Mom because Pookie bear says Mom put some Easter chocolates on it. So I am patiently waiting for Friday, yesterday is a holiday it’s Buddha’s Birthday!
Buddha’s Birthday, the birthday of the Prince Siddhartha Gautama, is a holiday traditionally celebrated in Mahayana Buddhism. In Korea the birthday of Buddha is celebrated according to the Lunisolar calendar. This day is called 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), meaning “the day of Buddha’s birthday” or 부처님 오신 날 (Bucheonim osin nal) meaning “Welcome Buddha Day”. Lotus lanterns cover the entire temple throughout the month which are often flooded down the street. On the day of Buddha’s birth, many temples provide free meals and tea to all visitors. The breakfast and lunch provided are often sanchae bibimbap.

I still can’t manage my time in blogging and for everything, I always end up cramming. I think I need to set aside few things then know and choose what is my priority, blogging, tweaking or blog hopping? Hard to choose isn’t it? Because they are all part of blogosphere.
Anyway I am sharing this yellow police barrier, I have taken this when went to Seoul a year ago I guess or months ago.

Feeling tired right now, early this morning I was awaken by the air serene and loud Korean voice announcing something, too bad I cannot understand it that I went back to sleep. It is not war yet, what came to my sleepy mind it might be a drill and sort of announcement.
As it is holiday tomorrow “Children’s Day” and the gym will be close we attend a gym tonight, for three consecutive days, after gym. Do the first batch of laundry and cook fried rice two times, download some photos in my sister’s Friendster account and now blogging while eating jelly ace. They’re almost one month in the fridge and I just have time to eat them. Well what else? Well yeah my weight, I lose one kilo Pookie bear keep teasing me I lose muscle and not fat.

According to Wikipidea in South Korea, May 5 is officially recognized as Children’s Day (어린이날). Parents often give presents to their children, as well as spend time with them. The children are taken on excursions to zoos and museums. The holiday was originally celebrated on May 1, but was later moved to May 5.

Most people loves chocolate so much, same with me. As I have told before I am not into chips, corn chips or any salty chips, because I am into chocolate puffs or choco puffs in short. Well I love potato as well, so I go with potato chips too which I seldom eat.
Anyway I don’t know what to called these puffs but if the flavor is cheese we called them cheese puff isn’t it? So this is chocolate flavor so chocolate puffs. This is food what makes me happy when I am still kid and my first choice whenever I went to store for sweet cheats.

I am planning to move all my blogs to WordPress but I don’t how much will it cost me, plus I have no funds right at this moment I just send my earnings home. Sigh, it gives me headache, Pookie bear even laughed at me because I keep asking him to have his own blog and earn from it especially he is a native English speaker and seeing how devastated I am the no became a big big NO! Oh yeah, I also don’t know why I am now following all of my blogs here in blogger, magic?

As expected of sleeping late it is too tiring to wake up early, as I have blogged previously we should be in Seoul today but guess what when the alarm clocks strikes,
Ryanne: “Sweetie, I don’t wanna go!”
Pokie Bear: “Me too, I am too tired, let’s just see it next year“
So the result return to bed, we slept as early three o’clock in the morning and wake up at seven o’clock in the morning, and it seems four hours of sleep is not enough to start our day and travel to Seoul and in that case we have to wait until next year to be able to witness the ceremonial rites (Jongmyodaeje a Royal Ancestral Memorial Rite of Joseon) as it only happened once a year on first day of May. Haist, what a long wait, next time learn to sleep early!

As I am blog hopping today I just felt dizzy then I suddenly remember I am not eating yet, so I immediately get up the bed and find something to cook in the fridge. What I found is 184g of pork, so I fried it with its natural oil and chopped some onions, I made my own version of Sisig. Mixing the meat with lazy lime, black pepper, soy sauce and a little dashed of salt. My grandfather usually prepare Sisig way back then when he is still alive to be there “pulutan” as a child I love tasting what older people eat even sometimes they’re going to tell me, it is not allowed for kids and it will makes me sick.
If you don’t know yet according to Wikipedia Sisig is a Kapampangan term which means “to snack on something sour”. It usually refers to fruits, often unripe or half-ripe, sometimes dipped in salt and vinegar. It also refers to a method of preparing fish and meat, especially pork, which is marinated in a sour liquid such as lemon juice or vinegar, then seasoned with salt, pepper and other spices. That’s why its popular to Tarlac, because it was originated in Central Luzon.
