Living here in Korea just feels like stressful to kids,  after school they’re going to  Hagwon to learn music, Mathematics, English, Taekwondo, Arts and etc., so it is normal to see kids and high school student in the evening. I even see high school students as late as nine o’ clock they are still in the street, walking home or inside the school bus. When I am still a student nine o’clock is already bed time for me, I wonder if they still sleep because they have to wake up early in the morning to be ready to school except if there is an afternoon class here.

If you’re wondering what is Hagwon it is a private school or as Wikipedia defined it Hagwon (Korean: 학원) (also hagweon or hakwon) is the Korean-language word for a for-profit private institute, academy or cram-school prevalent in South Korea.

Well maybe that’s why Korea is progressive than Philippines because they study well and give importance to education, as far as I remember when I am in grade school I never open my notebooks to read what is written in each pages, I would rather read a comics than my notes.  Just thanks God I am constantly in star class, sometimes I wonder if I know the word study during those times maybe I will be in honor roll, but anyway forget about that because I can’t celebrate birthday at school to treat my teachers and classmates, blow-out in short and too far to be teacher’s pet. Well we can’t deny the fact that during those times it is a plus points, I just don’t know now a days.

Anyway back to Hagwon, English Hagwon is the most popular here where a lot of native speakers worked as a teacher.  So if you are graduate of four year course and a native speaker, looking for experience and want to travel you know where to go.

This is what I have cooked today, Filipino style beef pork steak (bistek), as I have only pork in the fridge. It tasted good and it did not last until tomorrow (lol), I have eaten it all in one meal.

As I have blogged yesterday I went out to buy iron supplements for me, before buying it I’ve seen a newly open store where there’s a lot of Korean girl’s in chaos. So after I went to the pharmacy I went inside the store, oh well the store looks  like Redeye where the primary products are earrings, hair accessories, key chains and other small accessories. I took a little  basket and I also look around like others, its kind of busy and there’s really a lot of girls, grown up and even primary students busy on choosing key chains maybe for their bags. I don’t think they already appreciate bangle earrings eh, so they are on key chain stands which are made in different shapes, animals and cartoons.

A feeling of luxury and the pursuit of cuteness accessories – Naughty Cat

The store has no counter yet, the guy was just standing in a tall chair with a head microphone and speaking something on their language, and usual I am into earrings even though I can’t used them as we don’t always go out, aside from taking sight seeing plus it is also very unfashionable to wear long earrings and you are wearing pants, t-shirt and rubber shoes. Hehe, So I just bought them to keep or somehow for my sister or else it can be a good business for my mother to sell few Korean accessories, and I am going to save for that. Hehe

We sleep at 5:30 in the morning today doing nothing, I am just watching TV shows online as I feel very stressed out. At three o’clock in the morning I went to GS25, the street is so empty  even the sales clerk in the store is almost sleeping on his desk.

I went to GS25 because I am sort of hungry I just bread for dinner, so the result is to run for instant meal and a bowl of rameon for Pookie bear.

As I have blogged lately I am bored but I just found out it is not really boredom, it is simply tiredness. I am not very energetic, I even feel weak going to gym. I already observed for the past few months that I always got a cold feet and hands, my husband keep teasing me I am a cold blooded. If before wearing socks can comfort me these past few days it won’t anymore, I still feel cold not my entire body but as what I have said just my feet and hands. So last night I research what does this feeling cause, so here’s what I have found out:

• Parasites
• Allergies
• Hypo-Thyroidism
• Anemia
• Candida

So today I went out to buy iron supplements. The pharmacist gave me two kinds of iron supplement I picked this one because this is the cheapest for $55.08, the other one is times two.  It is 120 tablets good for 4 months.  When I reached home, Pookie bear asked me to return it to the pharmacy because it is very expensive just for iron supplements but I didn’t follow him because it is such an embarrassment. So the end result I have to pay for it, my three weeks allowance was gone. Huhuhu

Just a little information Anemia is a decrease in number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood and is the most common disorder of the blood.  Some common ymptoms are feeling of weakness, or fatigue, general malaise and sometimes poor concentration. They may also report dyspnea (shortness of breath) on exertion. In very severe anemia, the body may compensate for the lack of oxygen-carrying capability of the blood by increasing cardiac output. The patient may have symptoms related to this, such as palpitations, angina (if preexisting heart disease is present), intermittent claudication of the legs, and symptoms of heart failure.

I think the most easiest food to cook is eggs, just fried or boiled it and you will overcome your hunger. So I always cook and eat eggs (lol), just lately I am being tired of frying it and eating it with soy sauce or kimchi, so yesterday I tried scrambled egg without tomatoes. I put a lot of onions as well garlic, I remember when I am still a kid  I hate eating scrambled eggs with garlic and onion even if my mother keep telling me that it tasted good.

Well I think when you grew up everything changed, you ate what you don’t like to eat when you are younger!

I feel bloated right now, after I ate my dinner. I munched some cookies and now I am eating cereal even I don’t like too, guess why? The milk is going to expire tomorrow and Pookie will not like it if I wasted a fresh milk.

So I have no choice but to pour more than half of it in this bowl of cereal, wish me luck that I am going to drink all the milk tonight. Waaahhh….

Seriously I need a break, I need a break from blog hopping what I mean Entrecard dropping.  Since I decided to add my two blogs in entrecard I am dropping cards over time,  my schedule  is in the afternoon or evening I am going to dropped using my two new cards, then in the evening my travel or personal blog plus  visit also my friends on my link exchange. Well its reshuffle sometimes my personal in the afternoon, I need a break right now because I want to watch few TV shows, so see you folks later…Hehe, drama!

But for sure I can’t take a break because while watching I can stop my hands from opening a new tab, haha. But before that this my share of red for Tuesday, taken after gym. This are still good looking chairs, sofa set or sala set but they are already thrown by owners, so if you want one picked your choice.

>

Korean throw anything in the street as long as they don’t need it, not like us me Pinoys we keep holding on to them which is sometimes for display. There are times you can see a good looking cabinet in the street, it really looks like brand new and when a truck came they will just tore it down. Sayang!

My husband kept telling teasing me that I should picked the green one because he knows how I want to have a relaxing chair inside our apartment, we don’t buy things, furniture and etc., here because we’re not going to live here for a lifetime plus our stay in one apartment depends on his work contract, so if he got  a new job it means new apartment.  So carrying just two big back pack is a relief.,

Feel so busy today, I cooked my pork adobo. You might be startled why I feel so busy when I am just going to cook meals, Pookie bear eat different meal as he is always on diet during weekdays, so I have two cook three times for him and same with me.  It would be so easy if I can just cooked once  or twice but its not especially Pookie bear’s last meal at night is kind of tiring to cook, Kimchi Fried rice or Kimchi Eggs. More tiring last few months because I have to cook the two meal at night.

So tonight I have cooked my pork adobo I put a lot of potatoes because I like potatoes so much, I only used small drop of sauce on my rice  if you are startled why it doesn’t looks like adobo. Hopefully this viand will last until tomorrow evening so I am not going to fried eggs or anything for me. Haha,

It just come to the point that I am sick of eating eggs and spam, its been my food since the last two days, so tonight I want  a change, I went to Family Mart to look for an instant meal but what is left is meatballs, I hate to say this but meatballs makes me sick as well, so the last resort is to buy gimbap to feed my hungry stomach and this is my dinner for tonight.

Hopefully I am not going to be hungry again in the middle of the night because I am also sick of of frying eggs and eating big serving of rice as if I am not going to sleep, two hours after 12 in the morning. Just wrapped these with gim (sea weed) and ready to eat. Yum!
