This is what I have cooked the other day and now it is in the garbage pail, well not all just the left over which is supposed to be my meal today. What happened? A huge bear throw it in the sink, just when I wake up he perfectly told it to me, he said it is my fault for not keeping it in the fridge as what I am told to do so but hello it’s adobo, it was cooked with vinegar and won’t spoil easily. So mean, so I have nothing to eat today but eggs, I don’t feel like eating spam eh.
Ingredients:
Chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper, potatoes, oil, onion, garlic, water
Procedure:
- Saute the the garlic and onion
- Add the chicken let it brown a litte
- Add the vinegar and let it boil then add the soy sauce and do the same
- Add enough water after wards, seasoned it with black pepper
- And when it is near to cook add the potatoes
- Serve hot with rice

Here’s a serving of donuts, I love these donuts because they are so sweet and in different flavor too, the bigger one is like a sandwich donut with meat, onion, garlic and mayonnaise, the other one is a red bean donut and of course my favorite, I don’t know donut (lol), because I don’t know what’s inside it is white paste and I like it.

I consider myself as Nivea baby already, most of my personal stuff are Nivea products aside from Dove. Here’s my weekend loot, as expected when ever I visit Watsons I will surely went out the store with a plastic bag on my hand. My plan is just to Nivea roll on because the last time I visit at Watsons it’s a less cheaper than in supermarket, and I was right because there’s a new promo, Nivea roll on + a spray for $7.00 as I am looking around my eyes caught the word 1+1, so I grabbed Nivea Soft for $5.38, it is a moisturizing cream. Their Nivea Lotion (Moisture) is also on sale, 400ml+250ml for $7.99 I would like to buy one but I have more than five lotions so I just thought it is not that important as this time.
Anyway I also bought a Watsons moisturizing hand soap with strawberry and yoghurt extract, I don’t use hand soap except for bath soap so this will be added to my collections.

Simple things are being complicated when Pookie bear and I don’t agree with each other, we went to Kim’s Club Mart on Friday night, yes we are shopping in two super market and the dove body wash is in the other store. Anyway we bought two package of bulgogi for our grilled party (lol). I also bought bread for me, I choose these bread cake below, I called it pudding but Pookie bear don’t agree with me. He said it is not, it is baked that way, he don’t believed me when I told him it is really a pudding and it is made of old bread. He said it is like a date loaf with raisins, the bread is all eaten but we are still consistent with our own belief.
Maybe we should ask the bakeshop so we’re going to agree to each other what is the name of this bread, which is impossible because I can’t imagine how to explain it in the air that I am asking for the name of this bread.

Meet “Blackie”, I don’t know what’s his name I just called him Blackie every time I saw him around the neighborhood. I think the store owner in the corner owns him, because that’s where I saw him at night, he is busy smelling for food in the garbage bag when I throw some egg cartoons, just so lucky I brought my camera as we are going to the gym, he posed for me but he looked quite unhappy. His cute, isn’t it?

There are times I am asking myself where I am got wrong err what I mean why feel so darn lazy to post something here, maybe because I have nothing to write, writer’s block? I think mental block is more appropriate because I think I am going crazy, hahaha! Joke only, anyway we had another grilled party last night don’t expect too much because it is just Pookie bear and me, while I am busy in front of our electric grill someone is having a pretty life in front of his computer and keep asking me if I am not done yet and so on, demanding huh?
As a result our apartment stinks again, well my duty is not done yet by grilling the bulgogi, laundry is waiting and a pot of rice need to be cook. It’s a busy night while I am mending my stomach cramps, the good thing is after I am done I can asked him whatever I like to eat, like making a sandwich for me and please a glass of water too. Haha, just give and take. Well it is not yet over, I have to run to the nearest GS 25 for chocolates, just glad that he don’t ate it all there are some left just for me.,
We did not shop yet so I don’t have yet the other kind of Dove Moisture Body Wash, he is giving me money but I feel lazy and cold to go out.

The other day I cooked some spaghetti, I did not eat rice the whole day but I still eat carbohydrates, isn’t it? I sauteed the ground pork with the left over instant spaghetti sauce in one bottle.
Then use new bottle of spaghetti sauce to mix it with my pasta, so this is how it look likes.

Here’s a photo taken few days ago, I asked him to take photo of me and here’s the result. Smile! He just love playing around every time I ask him to take a photo of me.
Nothing to post, its a wordless Wednesday. I cooked spaghetti today for my meal, Pookie bear used some sauce to his eggs. As I am frying some eggs, I was surprised when the oil spark or whatever you may called it so I dropped some white eggs to the pasta, later on when Pookie bear ate he is preparing a serving of his rice when he accidentally flicked the spoon and your guess as good as mine he also drop some rice in the floor. He sounds angry when I asked him what happened, he thought I am going to “scold” him (lol), anyway when I told him what I did to his fried eggs, he didn’t scold me he just laugh and told me he knows it because his fried egg is quite smaller than usual, I added two egg whites but maybe what I drop into my pasta is more than two egg whites. I boiled some water to wash my pasta it might get spoiled with the egg whites eh. We’re both clumsy today huh?

The other night I have blogged about the fun we had with our new electric grill, we bought two kinds of marinated meat, Pookie bear was the one who put the meat in the electric grill and I am the one who turn it to be cook.
Above is Galbi, a marinated beef short ribs in a ganjang-based sauce (Korean soy sauce). In the Korean language, galbi literally means “rib” and can often indicate uncooked ribs. In addition, the dish’s full name is galbi gui, although “gui” (grilling) is commonly omitted to refer to it.
Above is Dweji bulgogi or Spicy pork bulgogi it is also a popular Korean barbecue dish and it is quite different from beef bulgogi because it is marinated is gochugang (Korean chili powder) and not in soy sauce.
