Food that makes you fat on weekend

Last weekend Pookie bear and I decided to make our own  burger rather than going to Lotteria to buy one. He wants it to be juicy so when I told him to mix some flour or eggs he didn’t want the idea he don’t want fillers to his burger patties. So we just mix ground beef, black pepper and salt and fried it without oil. Excuse us but we don’t have burger bans so we used wheat bread instead, his sandwich burger is different from mine. He just used the patties, onions and pour some mustard on it while mine has cheese, onions, mayonnaise and pickles which make it really juicy and yummy.

The next day I cooked a macaroni spaghetti, I made a special sauce for it I mixed the ground beef I have kept, sausages, onions and black pepper together with ready made spaghetti sauce.  I am the only one who ate the 500g macaroni, so it last long until Monday.

Winter is almost here

This is how the trees looks like today after all the leaves reached the ground if you remember my post, Yellow is everywhere you can see those leaves. It’s already snowing here especially in Seoul, as of today there’s no snow fall here in our place, the sun is shining so bright.

There’s a snow today!

As am I busy tweaking my computer this afternoon I heard someone is shoveling something outside our apartment I am thinking if there’s already a snow but I ignored the idea because it seems its too early to have snow but I am planning to peep which I forgot since I became engrossed on what I am doing.
Tonight Pookie bear and I went out to have a little shopping for his treats, he want to eat a home made juicy burger.There’s nothing new when we went out of our door, the street is a little wet not until we reached the shopping district there’s some pile of ice or frost. So I’m wondering if there’s snow…

When we reached the next street, there’s also some pile of ice. Darn, I missed it. I missed the first drop of snow today. All I’ve seen is a dirty ice on the street…

Wishing to Santa Claus

It is a wordless weekend. These past few days we sleep very early, as in very early in the morning in short very late at night. Confusing eh, well in short we slept at 4 o’clock in the morning. It must be a good thing that I can surf and do all the things I want online but its not my computer speed is killing me, darn too slow. I can’t even open a lot of tabs and it took forever before I can open or read a blog.  I thought when I free some memory space by resizing photos my computer will work better jezzz it turns bad . I’ve told my Santa Claus I need a new lappy with a bigger memory or DSLR camera, Santa Claus replied immediately “one or another“. Waaaahh, in short travel or lappy? I choose the first one which is travel, what would I do with a new lappy when I all alone here in our apartment and Santa Claus is wandering in Bangladesh enjoying his trip. For sure when he came home he is going to tell me about his tour and let me look on his pictures just to envy me.

I belong shoot me

Happy Thursday everyone, these photo was taken last May this year when we dine out in a Japanese restaurant as a celebration to Pookie bear’s birthday. I always see this flowers every time we passed this house so I make sure that I am going to have photo while it is blooming. My clothes matched to the color of the plant isn’t it?
Wait did you see Rochelle of Sexbomb in my photo? A big LOL.

North Korean artillery pounds S.Korean island

As I am blog hopping last night I have found out that North Korea fired a deadly barrage of artillery shells onto a South Korean island on Tuesday in one of the most serious border incidents since the 1950-1953 war, inciting global condemnation. Two marines had died, 15 marines were wounded along with three civilians. South Korea’s military went on top alert, its troops fired back with cannon and the government met in an underground war room in response to what Seoul called an atrocity against civilians.

North Korea’s supreme command, however, accused South Korea of firing first and vowed “merciless military attacks with no hesitation if the South Korean enemy dares to invade our sea territory by 0.001 mm”. But condemnation of Pyongyangpoured in from the United States, which has 28,500 troops in South Korea, along with Russia, Japan and Western Europe.

Some 50 shells landed on Yeonpyeong near the tense Yellow Sea border, damaging dozens of houses and sending plumes of thick smoke into the air, YTN television reported.

I have asked my husband if he knows it and if he is not scared, well he said yes he knows it he just shrugged his shoulder and says he can fly back to Canada and left me here. What a loving husband he is(lol). Anyway he laugh on his own joke after wards, when went to North Korea last July it was also the time that South says North bomb the navy ship. That’s why it is kind of scary to go there that time, I don’t want to be a prisoner of war eh.,but it is more scary to go there now. Whew luckily we have a right decision to go there last July.

Salted and Dried Fish – Tuyo

If there is one food I’ve missed in the Philippines that is hawot or tuyo (salted and dried fish), it is good to serve during breakfast with fried egg or sometimes just hot coffee and rice is solve. So when I saw this dried fish in the store I bought a small pack, its different from Philippine tuyo. It is darn too hard to chew and it is not salty either.
Pookie bear don’t like the smell of our apartment every time  I cooked it.  Anyway I just fried few times and it is already forgotten then pookie bear just found out it is already moldy well instead of scolding or telling me that I waste that food he is thankful because he won’t smell it anymore. That’s also the reason why I didn’t fried or touch it, the smell someone here has a special nose. Lol!

Food intolerance or food poisoning?

As I blog last night my head is bothering me since I wake up. Thinking it is just starvation I ate but instead of a big help my headache worsen. Can’t even look at my computer screen, so this was the time I feel like vomiting so I decided  to throw up all the food I ate, yes decided because I put my two fingers on my throat so I am gonna throw up. Goodbye food, I did not stop until my stomach is all empty. Guess what happened? I feel relieved, my headache was gone. Food poisoning again like what happened in airport when we are going to China? As far as I remember all I have eaten that night is the chocolate’s stick and before that I drink banana milk, I guess it’s the milk because the expiry date was last night.
I guess I need to be very extra careful with the food I ate because my stomach, immune system what ever is not that strong because I always end as patient victim. Like for example when I am still in college way back home, after eating our dinner I had a severe headache and I felt my face is getting hot. My mother asked me to eat sugar and she put some young leaves of a lime into my head pulse because they thought its air or whatever (copying my aunt when she had an headache she always had those leaves) . I fall asleep with a headache, so when I wake up in the morning I feel better. I ate the left over fish we had that night for breakfast and as I am washing the dishes the familiar feeling occur, headache and hot face. Is it food poisoning or allergy? Anyway that’s not the first time it happened to me, it is just the second time. The first time is when I ate boiled eggs, my father arrived home from Manila they worked there for few months. Cleaning his things I’ve seen two boiled eggs as what he said he bought in the ship, so I’ve eaten it for my meal. Then it all started, it already happened thrice here in Korea as far as I remember.
It  seems my mother is right “ang katakawan ko ang papatay sa akin” (being voracious will kill me)  because I always feel sick upon eating something. Anyway I slept with an empty stomach last night, I just had a coffee after the incident, I am looking for the wheat bread but a voracious bear ate it all. Huhuhu

Every week I have a chocolate allowance, chocolate because it is not that big so I can have a shopping free in the shopping district near here. Anyway even it’s big it will all end in chocolate anyways, the tight me will not buy something unless needed or unless it is a chocolate either a body care product which is on sale. So my husband gave it to me and he gave me an extra so I can buy my own meal because I told him I am hungry but I have nothing to eat (even there is), I just don’t feel like eating the food I am seeing eating everyday. I am planning not to buy any and just save all of my money for future expenses like the postal for my giveaway (hahaha). But the pookie bear won’t agree with me, buy a food or no extra? So of course I don’t like the idea so I went out to family mart. When I was there, I picked a ready meal and two gimbap trying to save more. Lucky or unlucky but the meal I have picked is already expired. Lucky because their counter machine is always updated with their product information  because if not I will end as patient again (lol). That’s why there is an expiry date to see (blind me). So I decided to pick some dumplings and the gimbap, I am already going to pay when my eyes landed on the small containers of peanut. Your guess is right as mine, instead of saving and just using my extra allowance I’ve use mine too. Huhuhu

Until now I don’t know what is my condition I mean that condition food poisoning or allergy?
Anyway this is what I found out food poisoning has two types infectious agent and toxic agent. Food infection refers to the presence of bacteria or other microbes which infect the body after consumption. Food intoxication refers to the ingestion of toxins contained within the food, including bacterially produced exotoxins, which can happen even when the microbe that produced the toxin is no longer present or able to cause infection. In spite of the common term food poisoning, most cases are caused by a variety of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites that contaminate food, rather than chemical or natural toxins.
Headaches Caused by Food

People find that they have intolerances to foods such as wheat, other grains, fruits, dairy products and a variety of other foods. If a person suffers headaches caused by foods it is important to go through a process of elimination (I think it is elimination or discharging when I throw up all the food in my stomach). Food allergists can assist a person in eliminating probable food causes one by one from the diet until the guilty foods are found.

To know more about this information just click the title above that’s where I found the article I have pasted.  I don’t own it.

I think the above sentence fit for me, maybe I have intolerances to some food. Tsk, here I am again self medication. I think much better if I took a nursing course because I am expert in self medication. Haha, joke. Or maybe I have diabetes because it also says that getting headaches after eating can be an early sign that diabetes may be a problem.

Even monkey loves chocolate

Remember my last post for camera critters? The two cats in our window, sad to say only one is left, the one at the right was victim of hit and run. I have asked my sister about their names but the forgotten me ,only remember one name which is Jumong,  the cat at the left.

I was not able to participate last week so here’s my share of camera critters for today, this photo was taken in  Golden Temple we went upstairs to the shrine where the giant golden Buddha was located, as I am looking for something inside my bag this monkey run so fast near me, at first I am scared but I remember I have this small white toblerone I gave him a little piece and since then he won’t stop following me. As usual my husband was annoyed on what I did, well I suffered the consequences because the monkey became my stalker he keep following me I am little bit afraid because I don’t know if they are domestic or wild, just so lucky that a group old locals came and shoo it away. They’re the one who’s praying when we arrived in the shrine. Well if you think I learned my lesson after it, I did not.

Saturday Headache

Last night or maybe already today we slept at around 4:30 in the morning, I’ve ask my husband to wake me up at nine in the morning because I have to finish something but I have changed my mind and ask him to wake me up at twelve in the afternoon. So he did but I was not able to wake up because my eye lids are still too heavy. I went back to sleep and ask him to wake up after one hour, time passed I opened my eyes then he told me if I know its already 2:30 in the afternoon, that’s where the time I am fully awake and grab my computer immediately and this is where I realized my head is aching. Dunno what happen last night while I am sleep why is it aching, all I know I ate chocolate sticks before we sleep I ate all of it. I never learned my lesson, when I ate too much chocolate I always have a headache.
So I am not feeling well the half day (because I wake up afternoon already) until now, my head still bothering me. We went out a while ago and buy some soy milk and other food for Pookie bear’s cheat day.  So this is what we got..

Black olives and sausages to make a sandwich.  He don’t allow me to take pictures but I insisted (lol), he even ask me to slow down because I started eating his black olives, I guess one of the reason why my head aches because I starved myself. When I ate sandwich tonight it was the time I realized I am hungry, darn I am using the computer too much and it is not anymore healthy because I forgot to eat and sometimes to withdraw my food as in p**p. Excuse me..
