Happy Tuesday everyone. Finally I’m done with my other commitments online and now my time to blog. Have you seen the lunar eclipsed today/tonight? I’ve seen a little of it, I am busy walking in the thread mill (gym) when Pookie bear asked me about it and he pointed the moon half covered with the earth’s shadow. Darn I forgot about it, just too bad I didn’t bring the camera with me, so I am just contented watching the moon while walking in the thread mill which is lucky enough that the gym’s wall is made of glass and the thread mills are facing the right view. Anyway I asked Pookie bear to hurry expecting that the eclipse is still there when we get home, to cut the story short we’re done with the work-out but on my dismay I can’t see the moon. If I can just moved those taller buildings in front of me why not, so I lost hope. While walking home I’ve seen a little of the moon and I am not expecting to see it in front of our apartment but guess what? I did, I’m still bless to see a little of it.

The funny thing though we we arrived home I immediately grab my camera and turn it on, the red light is flashing, low battery. Luckily I have extra batteries, but was not able to take a lot of photo, guess what I am out of memory. My 2G memory is full from previous photos, I did not transfer them to my computer, lazy me.

As of four o’clock in the afternoon there is a snow fall here in our place, I’ve been waiting for it because there’s already snow fall in Seoul but here it is still sunny. Then as I am working in front of my computer our room turns dark so I turn on the light and decided to cook rice , lunch  as well and when  I peep  in our window Yay, it is snowing. The excited me went out with my shorts and thin shirt without a slippers. Lol,  I didn’t even take time to get my slippers in the cabinet because I was such in a hurry. Click..click..click..then my feet cannot take the cold anymore I went inside and look for my sweater and grab my slippers in the cabinet. Click..click..again and I decided to shot a photo of me in the middle of the snow forget about the noodles I am boiling I’m busy on what I am doing.

Then returned again inside our apartment and cracked some eggs, Pookie bear will not be happy if he found out I did not cook his meal. After it, went outside again, now wearing a winter jacket and shoes. I left the noodles in the pot, the two locals working on the next apartment look at me maybe wondering if it is my first time to see snow. Lol!

Just so lucky that this metal thing is in front of our apartment so I was able to set the timer of my camera and take photo of myself. Hehe..when I returned inside our apartment the noodles for my pancit canton was not good to eat anymore, it is too sticky and wet. Now this is how it looks like after the snow. Scroll down..

Just kidding, this is how it looks like in Canada right now. My mother-in law send this pic to Pookie bear and it was send to me after wards.  My MIL says classes were postponed because some of the roads are not working, blocked by snow. As I look at the above photo it feels like your are living in an Igloo because snow is more than half of your house. This is just a two days snow how much more one week?

Experimenting in cooking is already part of my life, my mother and I used to experiment food way back in Philippines. What I mean we just cook or sauted any vegetables we harvest from our small back yard garden or sometimes from grandmother’s  vegetable garden.

Last night I have cooked a pork with spaghetti sauce. There’s a left over spaghetti sauce from the jar so I used it as my main ingredients. You know here in Korea there’s a lot of  ready spaghetti sauce for sale  which you don’t need to cook anymore just pour it in the top of hot dumplings or pasta and eating time already.

Anyway this is how I cooked it , first I sauteed onions and the meat the I waited until the meat turns a little brown then I seasoned it with black pepper and salt, after it I pour the small jar of spaghetti sauce which has water already so all the spaghetti sauce will be used then I let it cooked until its done. Presto after it I have eaten my dinner, my husband says it tasted good. Wonder what is the name of this menu.

Tomorrow will be my first travel to Seoul alone, a test on changing myself to be independent. I almost had a tantrums the other night when my husband told me I need to apply a visa alone to go to Bangladesh but I remember I need to behave and grown up  he can’t go with me tomorrow he has a class to teach.

The Bangladesh embassy  changed the rules in  span of time because the last time we visited the site Filipino doesn’t need a visa to go Bangladesh. So mean, so I’ve contacted Emelyn she’s been asking me for a meet up since the last time we met almost nine months ago, lol. So I think this is the chance to see each other again after a long time of excuses and etc., luckily she just left her job so she is free to walk with me. So tomorrow we will going to find the Bangladesh Embassy in Itaewon then after it visit a museum and visit their nest.

Anyway I am proud of myself because I can now pay the bills alone at the bank without arguing with my husband. Hehehe

We woke up very early today, we’ve went to postal office to mail the sweet box to the Philippines. Pookie bear has no choice but to come with me and carry the box even he is a little mad (I supposed to me) for disturbing him. He didn’t wait anymore he just left after “delivering the box”.

When I came home he is all relax playing his farmville (lol), after few minutes we returned to sleep but I can’t go back to sleep my stomach is disturbing me, asking for food. After a hour or two, time to wake up again because Pookie bear will go to work and that was the time our doorbell rang, when I open it is the mail man. He handed a small gadget to me to sign before getting the box in his bike, it is a box from my mother-in law address to Pookie bear. So when I came inside the house I asked him if I can open his box (lol). He said no, its for him. He tease me after wards that I am going to feel crazy waiting for him to open his box, he carefully hand it and put in the corner and says it is his Christmas gift and he is going to put it on his imaginary Christmas tree ( as you can see the box standing like one). He added maybe he will open it on Christmas day too just to tease me more. Anyway I already know what’s inside just by shaking it, (LOL) my parents-inlaw already send me us some present for Christmas.

As of now I am patiently waiting for him to open the box, he is at work at this time.

Christmas is almost here, last weekend I have asked Pookie bear if what is our Christmas gifts to his family and to my family. I remind him what he told me a year ago that we are not going to send gifts every occasion but during holiday season only. He told me what about he will shouldered the postal fee of the things I have collected. So I agree, on Monday I went to the nearest postal office to buy a box. I got the big box ( number 5), while arranging the stuff I am going to send I remember what pookie bear has said he don’t like a big box, so I returned to the postal office to buy another box the small one (number 4). When he came home he was surprised to see two boxes so I told  him just one, the small one. So he asked me how much is it, so I looked into the price list the the postal office had given to me, when I said the price. Believe it or not, he said No. Lol, he was not going to pay that amount just for postal fee. So I told him that he said yes last weekend, he said he thought it is just half of the price, so I replied to him that he knows how many kilos my stuffs are.

So what happened? No choice so I just told him that he is going to pay the half and the half price is mine. Asking me where am I going to get the money for it, well its from the allowance he is giving me weekly $8.64 /week ah yeah just last week I have an allowance increase $12.96 per week already. Lol!  So I think the box will stay here in our apartment after Christmas because I need to buy chocolates too because my mother  and sister has a sweet tooth.

Anyway what’s inside my box why it weighs so much, well just shampoo I bought from my allowance when they are on sale. Big bottles of shampoo.
