Nothing new around me aside from wishing to lose weight, the other day my husband shop for our daily supplies as we run out of rice. He want to buy 10kg of rice as he don’t like carrying a big sack but when I found out that the 10kg of rice is same price of the 20kg I insist of buying it. He agreed in one condition I am going to be the one who will carry the rice without thinking I said yes despite that Kim’s Mart is quite far from our place, the money that we are going to save is the only thing matters to me.
After shopping for other stuff and paying into the counter, I asked him to put the rice on my head. Oh well, maybe he felt embarrassed to other people that he is the man and I am the one who will carry the rice he told me that he will carry it. So the result I carried three large bags and it took me forever to go home. Lol! I am just carrying less than 10kg what if I ended up carrying the 20kg of rice I might roll in the street just to go home. Silly me!

It’s been a long time since my last post here huh? I was feeling sick these past few days then my monthly visitor came that makes me roll in pain, then the next day I just wake up with headache. It feels like my head is spinning dunno where did I get it all I know I just ate rice that night before I sleep, Pookie bear says maybe I am dehydrated so I drink a lot of water but the headache won’t go away, then I recall the pain I felt when I encountered food intolerance it is the same feeling. I immediately took some spoon of sugar and rested for a while I feel like vomiting but my stomach is empty though.
So the whole week I just lay down on bed, watch some TV shows online and sleep, as I would like to post something on my blog or design some wordpress theme I can’t do it since I feel sick, I remember my Facebook update that I feel like my head is gonna explode that’s what I felt these past few days, it feels like my head is gonna blew up if I force it to think. Teary eyes added to the injury it looks my eyes don’t like the bright of my computer dunno if I am gonna retired from blogging or I need an eyeglass. Huhuhu
So sorry guys for being away. I am thinking of returning to my tweaks as soon as possible. See yeah!

I went to the bank today to pay the bills, I went at lunch time so there’s only few people especially in the machine. When I return home there’s something strange, I saw a police car in front of our apartment and there’s a middle-aged woman peeping on their gate, I have seen the police in front of a small track just few meters away from our apartment dunno what is he doing over there maybe talking to someone.
Didn’t take photo of him I might get arrested (lol) but I managed to took photo of the police car before closing our door.

I have been procrastinated these past few days, we are away for almost one week so I had a marathon reading of all the things I missed, like reading online news papers and etc.
As I walked around the vicinity I have noticed some changes, there are two built stores and there’s a store that closes already, imagine that it only happens in one week what more in one month? Maybe I am going to be lost already, haha. Just a short update about me, I’ll post more when there’s a topic that will blink on my mind.

We arrived yesterday and a rainy day welcomed us when our plane landed on the run way. After three hour bus ride we finally reached home, the first thing I did was to work with water filter to make sure we have water to drink then cooked rice, do the laundry and cooked the chicken.
I am little worried last night because Pookie bear is not feeling well, he throw up early this morning dunno I guess his stomach gets upset upon eating three quarter pound burger from McDonalds, and ice cream as well, despite of feeling sick he needs to go to school to teach, he won’t like eating anything even I told him to drink hot water or coffee as we are out of milk and didn’t shop yet since we arrived. I wonder why didn’t I take those online nursing classes or get that online nutrition degree so he would believed me, he always thought that my findings and inputs when he feels sick are ridiculous.
Well he ate a little a while ago he said his stomach don’t upset him anymore but he feels very tired and feel some body pain which I felt too, maybe carrying a big heavy back pack for me. What I noticed is I can’t eat the same food I ate anymore before we left dunno if I am just use having fresh salad on my plate or my stomach feels so tired eating meat. I also wake up early in the morning today which disturbs me because I don’t usually do it, anyway Pookie bear says he won’t eat McDonald’s again because it makes him sick, like what I experienced when I ate burger. I’ve missed a lot of things online, my inbox is full of spams especially my blogs. So it would take time before I segregate valid emails from friends as too busy to do marathon reading on what is happening, news reading.
Somehow a thread caught my attention about DTI permits for bloggers I am so confused about it as I am just away for more than one week and there’s already thing like that, as I believed you don’t need DTI permits if you are just giving away small stuff without sponsors, does the raffle during Christmas party has DTI permit too? I mean small giveaway among group of people not those raffle contest that you need to purchase tickets to be enable to win.
Anyway didn’t read the DTI rules so I am out of it (lol) plus I am not in the Philippines and I seldom or I hosted only one giveaway, so I guess I’ll just wait and see on what will happened, if it is really needed or not by small time syndicate errr bloggers.

There’s an old belief that if you dream a poop it means MONEY, and it happened to me. Last night or let me say this early morning while I am sleeping I have dreamed of poop, I just tell a brief story of it. I dreamed of two young pipz, they look like my cousins in Germany but I am not too sure though because in my dream they are not my cousins but kids I need to take care,…the older one wants to use the toilet so I went out the building to give her privacy then after a while I saw her behind the glass looking sad and when I went in, all of her poop is scattered in the floor and in different trashcans in the corner, in my dreams she don’t know how to use the toilet so she throw her poop in trashcans, and it leave marks in the shiny floor (like a foot prints), a lot of it. So I told her we need to clean it before people came for a meeting, so I mop it and some people rush in, I am not yet finished though I just finished the first room and a realization came the trashcan has a poop still then I wake up.

When I wake up I lay down for a minute as I feel very tired which usually happened every time I had a dream, then I opened my email add which is I seldom do first because mostly I opened my click ads before looking at my inbox. What catch my attention is the mail from PostnJoy with subject [PostNjoy] Announcing 7th Opp. Winners~! so I immediately opened it first and guess what? I am so surprised and happy I won the 1st place and I can’t believed it, I won $100 just writing about Magic Science BBcream and my dream is indeed means money. Thank you Lord for the blessings!

Hi guys, so sorry if I am not updating here lately. I am so busy these past few days and I seldom update blog nor open Facebook and my email account, we are heading to Mongolia this Friday that’s why I need to tweak all the images that I can tweak before we left as my Adobe trial is expiring soon. So I stopped tweaking or doing some makeover for a while I will continue on August after our vacation, I am eyeing on preparing a schedule posts, so another task I have to make before Friday comes.

Well, I cooked chicken tid bits a while ago I mean chicken breast that cut into pieces but someone took my place in the kitchen as he gets annoyed because I didn’t follow his instructions as he said , that is to cut the chicken to small pieces, smaller pieces to him is more smaller than I did, haha. Better luck next time!

Few months ago my husband and I went to the super market to shop goods for our weekly supplies but before we did, we first went to a store for home supplies and decorations, we are trying to look for blinds for our window but the store is quite big that we almost lost our hope to find one. As we cannot find it we try to look for floor lamps but we all we found are table lamps, so we just walk around passing every shelves and we finally find the window accessories including blinds, hangers and metal pipe or curtain holders. They have abundant supply of blinds and we try too look for something we are gonna like but the realization came, we don’t know the size of our window. If we are going to buy, either we are going to waste money or be happy if the blinds fit the size of our window, it is hard to gamble and wish for luck so we decided not to buy last night. We walk out the door and went to the supermarket to shop our food supplies.

I am trying to find the tape measure on my bag as what I have remembered I brought one here when I left my home country but I can’t find it, wish to find it soon so we can buy blinds for our window. It is quite disturbing when the light in the garage is on.

Pookie bear came home with colds and of course I have to have his colds in order he will be okay, like as usual while he is laughing because he feels good I am like a chicken here with colds. Dunno why I always got sick when he got one but I can’t transfer back to him. Unfair isn’t it?

Last week when I went out to buy something for home, Pookie bear told me to look for beans in Kim’s Club but before going to the supermarket I decided to walk in the town market to see if there’s beans, I saw an old woman selling something like beans so after going to Kim’s Mart to buy some supplies I return to the place where I saw the old woman, I don’t have a plan to buy but the way the old woman looks like she is so sad and lonely, like business is not good that day as I don’t see anyone stopping and buying something, so I stop in her front and pointed the beans which is green peas by the way and asked how much, she said “Samcheon” but as I don’t know how to speak Korean and I cannot understand anything, I gave him 5,000 won ($4.62) , then asked her if it is enough or right, I don’t know if she understand me or not but she wave her hand like telling me its okay and I can go away now, anyway as I am not really sure I waited for few seconds to give me change but as what I can see she slowly put the money so I said to myself maybe I have no change, so I walked out and she never called me to give a change or something.
When I reached home, I feel like the green peas is quite expensive for 5, 000 won so I went to Google translator and translate the monetary amount English to Google, and there I found out Samcheon is 3,000 won ($2.77). Lol! Then Pookie bear who just came out from the bathroom asked me what did I bought. I said I bought a green peas aside from the items he told me to buy, he gets little angry as I didn’t follow our rules again not to buy items not on the list, he added he told to look for beans and not buy green peas, I replied I feel pity at the old woman so I bought something to her. He asked me how much is it, I told him the woman says “Samcheon” but I gave her 5,000 won. He laughed after hearing it and says I feel pity but the old woman ripped me off, lol.
To make it short, I pay for the green peas from my allowance he don’t want to shoulder it as it is my fault and it is not in the list and I am the one who bought it and I am the one who will eat it. So I eventually paid, I didn’t think any bad thoughts about the money but had a slight thoughts that maybe she really ripped me off, anyway I just told myself maybe the old woman thought what I am saying to her is, I am giving her a tip as we cannot understand each other. So next time I guess I should learn how to say to numbers, price, amount in local language. Anyway as the Bible says if you do good things to others God will bless you it means it is a good Karma but I don’t know if I do a good thing, I feel blessed these past few days, I am quite busy designing WordPress Theme, I got a direct advertiser on my site and now I have a page rank. Thank you Lord!
