Hwatong Chicken and Baguette

We had a little feast last night my husband was craving for chicken so he asked me to buy fried chicken for us, I don’t want to follow at first because we are on a diet but with my husband bothering me and me craving for food I went out, instead of going to Popeyes I went to the new chicken restaurant we saw in the tarpaulin outside Lotte Super and order for take out.

Hwatong Chicken

When I went home my husband asked me where’s the baguette he asked me to buy, honestly I forgot it so I have to return outside. I went to Paris Baguette to buy the bread and other baked goods. Oh well, when we are full “The  diet starts tomorrow” so today is the new start of our juice fasting after cheating for one week eating gimbap, soup and even ice cream. Lol!

Sending a Package Home and Cooking Soup for Brunch

I wake up very early today and finally I am able to send the package home it has been sitting here for few months already. My husband carry it to the post office,  I also told him I might borrow some of his money in case I need more and my money is not enough. Well I had enough but the fact that the postal fee increases already,  the fee increased with 2 kilos rate.

Soup Diet

I went back to sleep after going home from the post office and when I wake up again I cooked soup for breakfast and lunch. I can’t eat solid food my wisdom tooth is bothering me again, instead of growing downwards it grew sideways so it is touching my gums.

Sausage Sandwich with Hot Mustard Sauce

This is my second sandwich last Friday, I am only able to eat two sandwiches because I can’t take the taste of the hot mustard it tasted like wasabi.

Sausage Sandwich

For the second try my husband told me to wipe the hot mustard in the bread and not just drop it in the sausage, so I did but it turns out I put a lot so I ended up not eating the whole sandwich I ate the sausage alone.

Alumni Conference in Icheon Elementary School

I wake up today with loud music and an emcee speaking in the nearby elementary school. My husband told me that there’s something going on because he saw some tent from our window. After making my coffee I decided to check it out, I didn’t even finish drinking it I just had one sip, I changed my clothes and I went out.

When I arrived in the school entrance I saw a lot of cars and this banner but as I can’t read Hangul I can’t still figure out what was the occasion.

Icheon Elementary School

There’s really a lot of tent encircling the wide playground and they are full of people and food. Others are drinking soju (the popular liquor here), eating and talking to each other. There are few people in the play ground which looks like they are doing fun games, I saw some people with balloons. I didn’t take long because I am too shy to be noted and snapping around, I was not able to take good picture because there are cars and trucks blocking me from where I stand.

Icheon Elementary School

I walk around the school I mean the street around the school so people will not think I just went there to take pictures. Anyway when I arrived home I translated what is written in the banner and it says “The 5th Icheon Elementary School Alumni Conference” thanks to Korean Virtual keyboard and Google translate for making it possible.

Jeju Chocolates from My Husband’s Student

When my husband came home from work I look after his bag to get his lunch box and today when I did it I am surprised to see a hello kitty zip bag with chocolates .

My husband says it was from one of his student who went to Jeju for short vacation. The zip bag is marked with 영어 선생님 (English Teacher) so probably the student gave present to all of her subject teacher, what a sweet gesture isn’t it? Anyway I ate all of this chocolates because my husband is on his diet I mean he don’t eat chocolate on week days just on the weekend.

Victim of Playful Revenge from my Husband

Last night while I am in our bathroom I have noticed the pink color in our floor indicating our bathroom is already dirty so I immediately get  a sponge and a bleach. My husband didn’t like what I am doing not because I am cleaning the bathroom late at night but because I am cooking the chicken for his meal and I am not attentive into it.

So he told me to look after the food I am cooking in the kitchen so I immediately turn off the water and went in our kitchen.  Hours passed by and he need to brush his teeth when he turn on the faucet in our bathroom sink the water flows in to the shower rather than in the sink, unprepared he got wet and  angry at me believing that I intended to left the shower on.

I didn’t know that he planned something like revenge so when its my time to brush my teeth before we sleep I was surprised when the shower is on instead of the faucet, it looks like I took a bath because my clothes are very wet.  My husband laugh hard upon hearing me yelling inside the bathroom, what happened is he really focused the head of the shower to the sink to make sure I am going to be wet and I did especially I turn on the faucet on its maximum current, he also hide the controller by adjusting the faucet controller to the left. I have no choice but to change my clothes.

A Box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

I only know two doughnut shops in Philippines, that is Dunkin Donuts and Mister Donut, that’s why when my husband told me about Krispy Kreme I thought it is a new doughnut shop but I was wrong

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

Krispy Kreme  was founded by Vernon Rudolph on 1937 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, it is  an international chain of doughnut stores. The parent company of Krispy Kreme is Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) and is based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

My husband told me Krispy Kreme is a way better than Dunkin Donuts, yeah right but it is also a way expensive too. This is my favorite flavor Blueberry and honey glaze. Honey glaze is the signature item of Krispy Kreme and traditionally served warm.

Cold Day and Starbucks in Icheon Soon

Well after more than one month I have already decided what this blog all about, this will be my journal in expat living here in Korea. To start with it is chilling cold today with -16 degree Celsius, the frost from yesterday are still in the street but most of them are clean and shoveled by locals.

Starbucks Icheon

We went to Lotte Super today to shop for our weekly supplies and I have found out that in the nearby building where Family Mart stands is now under-renovation, soon Starbucks will rise in that area. Within two year of living here in Icheon I have witnessed how the city progress, more and more building, establishments are built.

Snow Days Can be Dangerous

I am quite busy tweaking these past few days that I can’t visit my blogs and post an article, I am also procrastinated. I have nothing else to write maybe because I don’t usually share and talk what I am doing and etc., sort of private person huh? Lol!

It snowed a lot today it cause heavy traffic in the main street I remember a friend who wished to snow a lot I just chuckled remembering her childish wish. Heavy snow can cause a lot of problems and accidents in the street eh., Anyway I  decided to rest for a while and blog I am going to tweak again tomorrow.

I have cooked  a soup tonight and as usual my husband told me to separate soup for him all he wanted is the vegetable and he don’t like macaroni on it, too much carbohydrates as what he reasoned out.

Snowy Friday and Buying Chocolates from Watsons

It snowed two times today I would like to go out this morning to take picture of me in the snow but cooking makes me busy. I just postponed it thinking I can have pictures later when we go to the gym, well the snow stop and before I know it our landlord started cleaning the frost in front of the apartment and in the garage. So when we went out to go to the gym the street is snow clean but the good thing is it is snowing again! Yipee, I asked my husband to take picture of me well he did but he said you can’t really see the snow, maybe because it is just starting.

Icheon, Gyeonggi-do

We first went to the bank and while waiting for him I went out and started taking snapshots around me and of course myself.

Truffles Chocolate

To make the story short it is our cheat day today, so we went to Watsons to buy some chocolates. Because he ate two of my chocolates last weekend he bought two for me and treat me another chocolate, I picked two truffles and a chocolate bar and then to the bakery to buy brown bread and have a stop in Family Mart to buy chicken and mayonnaise, all we got is the latter so went to the nearby Gs25 to buy chicken and he asked me if I want a meal as I am full from my dinner I opted on chocolate wafer. I didn’t eat my chocolates yet, thinking I can add this to my box (to send home).
