Hi guys I was not able to blog yesterday, I am not feeling well but I feel a little better now. Yesterday it rain then snowed here, its already spring but there’s still snow huh? So the hiking that we are planning for tomorrow will be cancel, its quite cold outside and the temperature tomorrow will be the same so we can’t enjoy the hiking so much, hopefully next week.
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.
There’s a lot of pizza place around us which took only 5-10 minutes but believed it or not but we went to E-mart which is 35 minutes far from us just to buy this slice of pizza and walked home again after wards.
Haha, actually we are looking for something other than pizza, we decided to walk to test how far is it because mostly we are taking a taxi as we don’t know the exact location of the shopping mall. So today it materialized, buying a pizza is just accidentally when we passed along the pizza stall. I am so lucky to pick a different flavor huh?
We had a long day today, Pookie bear and I wander around to look for laptop and a DSLR camera but we are not able to find one. So we decided to go to E-Mart just by walking, its our first time to go without taking a taxi and so lucky that we are able to find the right direction. It took us 35 minutes just by walking, when we got there we didn’t find anything as well so decided to go home and Pookie bear bought two tiny box of pizza for me. We also walk home that’s why I am very tired tonight.
After few hours Pookie bear he feel like eating meat, so we went to Nonghyup Super Market to buy meat then he thought of getting an electric grill, the meat has seasoning already and ready to be grilled or barbecue. We had fun while cooking, after eating our bounty, we re-design the things here inside our apartment. Pookie bear also fixed our closet, so we don’t need the clothes rack anymore.
Well finally our toilet was fixed, a real plumber came and used a toilet auger to removed the stuck tooth brush, I did not see it though because I run to the nearest bank here in our place to withdraw if ever we need more money to pay the plumber. When I returned home the plumber’s truck is not in the front of the apartment anymore, so I when I went inside our apartment someone is having a cool time surfing the net without cleaning or removing the said toothbrush in the bathroom floor. Pookie bear’s co-teacher was the one who called the plumber, I think she look online for a plumber. The guy who first came here its not really a real plumber but a tile installer, I mean his business is tiles. He is a friend of our landlord so they gave him the business and maybe he is the one who installed tiles in this apartment. Anyway Pookie bear’s co teacher also got the money we payed to the first guy, so what I owed to Pookie bear is 2 weeks and half of my allowance. I made a bargain with him if it is fine just to make it two weeks and he said yes, but I make a deal again what if he just deduct half in on my allowance every week. Then he replied its fine, 5 weeks.
When he returned to school for his next class, I went to the bank to pay bills and I could say I can pay my bills alone now using the machine, because the last time I pay I have to ask the woman at my back what’s next by pointing the screen to her. So on next month I am not going to disturb the guy in the information counter. If you don’t yet I am very happy that I finally established a communication my aunt and cousins in Germany, my cousins are already teenager except for the younger who is eight years old if I am not mistaken. I just saw them on pic when they are a toddler and I am in Elementary., and since then we have no communication with them.So as I feel happy and relieved I decided to enjoy and treat myself by shopping some small stuff for me. Love my new little teddy bear..hehe
Well it seems our toilet will be plugged for a long time or maybe forever after I accidentally dropped my toothbrush in it, the plumber insist its fine and he don’t think the toilet needs to be open, lol. He also said we have two choices, to get the money back from him but we have to go to their office which is we both don’t know where is it, or he is going to return in our apartment the next time the toilet is plugged. So does it mean he is going to come here everyday after we sit in our throne? Anyway what he didn’t understand is the toothbrush needs to be removed in the toilet, because it is stuck in the curve pipe.
So my husband get annoyed not just to me but to the plumber and to his co-teacher as well. Right now he is contacting Dad asking if he can come here in Korea if he will shoulder his air fare just to unplugged the toilet here, I don’t know if he is serious but that’s what I read on what he is typing right now, nosy me. I wonder how much does it cost, from Canada to Korea so might not be serious because if he is I am going to be in a shit hole. I might not have allowance for five years or more considering the amount of allowance I received from him weekly, which is just for chocolate treats. So sad!
So right now we need a plumber, a real plumber! Haist if we are just in Philippines, any person can do this as long as you are willing to pay. It is cheap too $6-7 a day., so I suggest to Pookie bear maybe we don’t need a plumber, a laborer will do because my father can also fixed our plugged toilet and he is not a plumber.
I am not feeling well today, the plumber came as well as the landlord and his wife. Well the plumber did not do anything he just use the shower hose to put some water to unplugged the toilet. So it works for few minuter not until they left, so I just pay $26.55 without really fixing it. Well my husband scold me or what ever you may call it, telling me why I did not tell them that the toothbrush need to be removed and not just hose it. It looks like the toothbrush was moved that’s why the water works properly when he is fixing it.
Just a while we had a conversation with the landlord again on what the plumber needs to do but I doubt it if he understand it because we also talk to him last night when we luckily saw him outside cleaning in the front garage. We just asked him to come with us and see for his self, Pookie bear co-teacher called him too. Anyway the landlord says he is going to call the guy tomorrow, so I am in big shit right now, because to remove the toothbrush the toilet bowl need to be removed and as well as the tiles in the bathroom. That means MONEY, Pookie bear won’t shoulder the expenses because he said its my fault so I need to learn my lesson. In short I am not going to have my allowance for a long time it depends on how much money we are going to spend to pay the plumber and some tools needed.
So right now I am very depressed! Huhuhu!
Last night I have dreamed of two guys are chasing me in the forest then I found a house in the wilderness, I knocked and someone opened the door, I saw three or four young kids and a young girl whom I think pregnant. She is not the mother of the kids it feels like she’s a nanny, she is busy cleaning and cooking. When I enter their humble abode, everything is a mess. Kids are playing around, cat poop’s are everywhere together with sand and dirt. I have no choice but to smell all of it because it is a matter of life and death. The two guys finally reached the house where am I, I immediately run to a room or in a closet and all I know they took all of the kids and the pregnant woman. Then while I am hiding, there’s a sophisticated woman with me, she is sexy and fabulous looking, it sounds like she knows the guy chasing me and she is also hiding from them. Then I don’t know what happened next, everything became unclear all I know the kids and the girl was able to returned home but she was raped I guess, and I think I wake up already by movements, Pookie bear is busy preparing his meal.
I thought if you dream a poop its money, like when I dreamed of tiny little poops of chicken, I got surprised when I received payment that day in ask2link but is quite different today.Just this evening Pookie bear and I are scheduled to go to the gym so as usual I need to brush my teeth before going out. So I pee first and flush the toilet when I opened the medicine cabinet or simply cabinet just in top of it, splasssh! My toothbrush dance with the water and gone, its a new one just opened it yesterday. So I opened another tooth brush then a realization came, what if the tooth brush plugged the toilet? Still we went to the gym and I am not on the mood to squats and leg extension anymore, I just did leg press and I keep asking Pookie bear if I can go home right at that moment, but he wont allow me so I need to wait until its done. What disturbs me is he keep teasing me, and laughing while I am down, as in very down. Telling me that I need to talk to the land lord because he is not going to help me and etc., I became dramatic and says I will choose to go home and I am in suicidal mode right now.
At home before I took a shower he asked me if I can search online about the case, then I have read online we need a toilet auger or metal craw hanger to get the toothbrush. So to make sure that the toilet is plugged I throw a lot of tissue paper and flushed it, the result it is indeed plugged because of the toothbrush. So I went out to buy claw hanger or toilet auger if I can’t find the first one. I ended buying a claw hanger and we try to find the tooth brush using it but we can’t. I have try to asked one of the sales lady if she know where to get toilet auger and she is very helpful to show me the way but the fact that I cannot understand their language it is useless, I just laughed and say okay or I don’t remember if what else I have said on my gibberish way, so I just went to the counter to pay my hangers, guess what I just went it there without looking if there’s a line, so the cashier told me something, maybe “Please fall inline” or I don’t know maybe no please, so shameful to be absent minded. Haist., He emailed his co-teacher to tell her what happened and the she will be the one to talk with the landlord or translate it for us. Well the result will be until tomorrow when Pookie bear went to school,we are going to know if the plumber will come.
So I think that’s what my dream last night means I have to keep away from the toilet because I am going to be in shit with it., if you are going to ask who’s the two guy chasing me… Pookie bear’s answer..the landlord and the plumber. Lol! Well maybe the sophisticated lady who talk to me help me hide is the sales lady, the kids are the young guys and girl paying their stuff in the counter, and don’t tell me the pregnant woman is the chubby cashier? Well it could be because in my dream I hide on their house and I found the claw hanger in their store.Like my dream it is unclear or the case was not resolved, the toilet too is waiting to be fixed. Hopefully I am not going to use it tonight or tomorrow morning or else the garbage collector will be surprised to see something nice in the garbage bags. Lol!
Right now, I am not in the mood to do anything. I am totally disturb especially if someone keep telling my fault and not learning my lesson to close the lid before opening the cabinet and etc., I told Pookie bear I am so sad and I cannot blog hop tonight or do my online task, he is like little tiny cat who rubs his head on my shoulder and give me a hug of consolation while telling tomorrow it will be fine, hmmppp, too late I am already hurt.
Yeah I keep banging things a while ago when I am going to the shop and even tell him that I can a kill a cow right now, his replied sounds like this”Okay sweetie, kill a cow outside so we are going to have a lot of cow meat, more food“
I am tired that’s all I can whine today. I only sleep five(5) hours, I wake up very early in the morning waiting for the alarm clock to ring but it does not happened after few minutes. Darn there’s no used setting an alarm clock if I wake up before the clock do its job. Around 6:15 in the morning we are already outside walking on snowy street I almost slide two times, the sky is still dark and I guess everybody is still sleeping because there’s only two or three people in the street and it is all empty, we saw one videoke bar which is still open and there are people and we heard someone singing. We arrived the bus station around 6:30, Pookie bear was a little pissed off tickets are all sold for the early trip, the available bus will be at 8:00 in the morning. We need to be at the Bangladesh Embassy as early as we can because the embassy office hours is between 9:30 and 11:30 in the morning.
If we will take the eight o’clock bus will going to arrived Seoul after one hour or it depends because the road has ice. Then it will take us another one hour to take the subway and walk up to the embassy it is okay if Pookie has no class this afternoon but he has, he just told her co-teacher that he might be late and not absent. So as we walking on the bus terminal, Pookie bear found a bus with a tag EAST SEOUL, so he thought taking a chance to take that route, so we went back to the ticketing office to ask. Anyway its on the other ticketing office so we need to walk back and fourth to buy and return the old ticket after wards. Well still a lucky day, the new bus left anytime so as we are standing a new bus arrived. Just in nick of time its full, we left the terminal at 7 o’ clock in the morning and arrived in East Seoul around 8:15 AM. We transfer to another building and took the subway. We arrived at the Bangladesh Embassy 30 minutes earlier with their office hours, the officer entertained us even they are still close he look on our documents if it is complete or not. After it he instructed us to pay for the processing fee at KEB bank while waiting for the embassy to open its window for visa or passport applicants.
Thanks to the officer instruction and we found the bank, anyway we I also asked one of the sweeper in the area where is KEB bank I just show him the deposit slip. So done paying the processing fee, what we need now to have a photocopy of our ARC and Travel Itinerary. We’ve went inside the Capital Hotel and luckily they offered that serviced, so we found ourselves inside the Bangladesh embassy again waiting for our time to submit our documents, the window is busy serving another applicant. Then done documents are submitted we I need to return on Tuesday to pick-up our passport.
After it I am running like in marathon just to walk with Pookie bear, he walked so fast. We took the subway again and went to the Express Bus Terminal, the terminal for the 8 o’clock bus. The terminal is so big that we get lost even we always ride a bus there, anyway I am the one to blame because I am the guide. instead of going out I took him on the 4th or 5th floor by escalator. Hehehe, I just told Pookie bear I am sleepy and hungry lol. We had an eleven o’clock bus, while waiting for the bus to arrived I bought some gimbap rolls and water, when I have to pay for my water darn it is so expensive W1,800 for one normal bottle so I have to ask for another one thousand won from Pookie bear. I am busy munching my gimbap rolls when the bus arrive and open its door, as we sat I open my water..“What kind of water is this, why is it sweet?” Lol, Pookie bear told me if I did not noticed it is not water, so I look on the bottle and read POCARI SWEET. Pookie bear seconded that’s why it is expensive because it is not water. He told me to get water and I grab this on the fridge because it is the only white drink among the assorted drinks but its not water eh. After one hour and ten minutes we finally arrived at the bus terminal here in our place. Have to walk 15-20 minutes though to get home, on the way home we went inside the super market to buy an olive oil, toothpaste and small package of meat for my food. Done for the day I tried to sleep when we got home but my eyes are wide open, so I just lay and stretch my achy back and now back to blogging after the bear left for school.
