Kimchi and Rice

Hi folks how’s life going? I feel like neurotic here as Pookie bear says I cannot stop my hand from scratching my head, he is already planning to tie my two hands so I cannot reach my head. Lol, I don’t know when I feel bored and nothing to do I make myself busy. 
Anyway let’s don’t talk gross about flakes and etc., our apartment today is stinking, stink likes pork. I have fried this ham look a like pork. This is my meal today, so I am not going to wonder why there’s one big pimple in my forehead I have been eating oily foods these past few days.

Anyway here’s rice and kimchi to complete the meal, it looks like Pookie bear and I is really playing “bahay-bahayan” our plates, glass and bowl are plastics except for fork and spoon. Hehe

Health Benefits of a Squash

I have been busy yesterday tweaking the template of my travel blog, and later afternoon yesterday I have found out I don’t have enough time to do all my task online, Pookie bear class schedule changed for one week so we went to the gym a little late and  we came home from gym almost eight in the evening. I thought I will still have enough time to do all my task online but I am wrong.
Anyway as what I have said on my last post, I am having problem with my eyes that cause headache so I have think of eating squash. Lol, I just saute it with meat.

Do you know that squash has two main categories of squash are winter squash and summer squash,  winter squash is a low-calorie, good source of complex vegetable carbohydrates and dietary fiber
 
Squash is an excellent source of vitamin A, a great source of vitamin C potassium, dietary fiber and manganese, and a good source of folate, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B1 (thiamin), copper, tryptophan, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B3 (niacin) and vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid).

It is also a source of niacin, iron and beta carotene. Usually, the darker the skin is, the higher the beta carotene content.

Ramada Seoul: Garden Buffet “Ciel Garden”

As what I have said on my previous blogwe had a dinner in a buffet restaurant in Seoul last Friday evening. Garden Buffet ‘Ciel Garden’  is on third floor of Ramada Seoul  located in Samsung-dong, Kangnam-ku, Seoul. The restaurant opens at six o’clock in the evening we are thirty minutes early so we waited together with other locals, we are the first one who went inside as we are the first one who came.

Anyway here’s my first plate shrimps, sushi and sashimi. Yum!

Second plate, smoked salmons, bun with different cheese, shrimps and different type of salads

Third plate, shrimps, sashimi, steaks, meat, chicken and a lot of sea foods.
Fourth plate desserts, blueberry cheese cake, fruit tarts, chocolate cakes and etc.,
Finally the last one, ice cream yoghurt, strawberry and the other flavor I don’t know. Lol
Picture before going home

They also have crabs and a lot more menus but I cannot eat them anymore my stomach is very very full. No more place for another plate, when we got home it feels so hard to breath having a big stomach. I did not even ate all food in my third plate, you will see it small but there’s a lot of food below the shrimps. I did not finish my steak so Pookie did it for me.Take out of Baskin Robbins at the bus terminal, Pookie bear was not able to eat ice cream because we are running out of time. We spend two hours inside the restaurant with non-stop eating, they are having a 20% discount.

Eating in a Buffet Restaurant

Just got home from Seoul few minutes ago. This is the dinner I am talking on my scheduled blog published this afternoon. We left here around three o’clock arrived home around ten o’clock in the evening, I wonder if this is our advanced Valentine dinner (hehe). Anyway we have buffet meal….all you can eat steak, sushi, sashimi crab, cakes, ice creams and numerous other dishes. I feel very full and my stomach gonna explode in a minute Pookie bear still had take-out of Baskin’ Robbins in the terminal he was not able to eat ice cream in the restaurant because it is getting late we need to catch bus to go home.
Anyway I did not wear the  violet clothes, instead I wore a pants and black Natasha blouse “Crescent” and the gold Natasha sandals “Mesmerized”. Darn it seems my feet are now bigger because it hurts, cannot even walk good. As far as I noticed I am the only one wearing an open sandals while all of the ladies are wearing winter boots.

My modeling stint

I think every woman wants to be a model and I am one of those, toinks! Here’s some funny photos on my modeling stint last night, I almost got the job but when the director saw my two bunny teeth in the front he runs fast as he can. He-he-he, Joke only. Actually Pookie bear had told me I need to wear something formal if we are going to Seoul to eat into a buffet restaurant because it is inside a luxury hotel. I have no formal clothes, all of my clothes are maong pants, blouses and t-shirts. 
I have found these violet “graduation” gown on my clothes, I called it graduation gown because we bought it around March 2009 where most of the students are looking for the clothes to wear and this type of clothes became popular.  My mother told me to buy it so I have a formal clothes if ever Pookie bear and I will be invited to a party, so far we did not go to any party yet.
So yeah I found this violet gown and I modeled it to him if it is okay. Instead of liking it, he disagree “Walk like a lady!” Sorry dear, I thought I am still in a rubber shoes, so I walked again like walking in a flat form and he said “It’s okay”. But when he saw how I sit in the floor he exclaimed a BIG  BIG NO ,  I just said an excuse that I am not going to do it outside, its okay to do it here because I am at home. What did I do? Well I just sit like I am wearing a pants. He-he Anyway if you don’t know, I am like Ate Vi “star for all seasons” I can be a guy sometimes and I could be a lady too. Just to bad I am a fatty cow now..
Just want to take my sponsors, my box of junk, box for chocolates and jar of my candies for making this photo shoot possible. In short for being a “patungan” of my camera while being set on a timer. He-he

Lunar New Year Dinner

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! I had a very busy day yesterday night preparing for our dinner, Pookie bear and I went out to look for something to eat, we headed to “Sawadee” what we believed a Thai Restaurant but when we reached the place we are right it is Thai  but it is not a restaurant  it is a massage center at the second floor of Korean restaurants. 
It looks like most of the establishments are closed for the Lunar New Year so we just wander around the city until we reached Baskin’ Robbins, I feel like eating ice cream so I went inside while Pookie bear decided to wait outside because he said he don’t want any, it went perfectly but not upon taking it out. The young guy asked me something which I cannot understand and in the end when he picked something inside the bucket “he is talking ice” if I want to put ice on my take-out bag.
After having my ice cream we walked again and Pookie bear decided to take out box of pizza at Pizza School unfortunately it is closed so we decided to head on to Kim’s Mart where we bought some dumplings, meat and carbonated milk.
I have soaked the meat on soy sauce, lazy lime, garlic, black pepper and onions and then fried it. It looks yummy right?

Then fried the kimchi dumplings too. It is kind of spicy because of the kimchi even it has a meat.

That’s how we celebrate Lunar New Year last night, eating these foods while watching horror movie  Psych 9, as the dessert we ate the ice cream from Baskin’ Robbins and my bag of M & M’s Chocolate. It’s a simple but happy Lunar New Year dinner

Hello Kitty Case

Anyway I have bought this Hello Kitty case upon arriving in the bus terminal , I always see this in the  terminal pharmacy and I always want to buy these case, but I don’t how to ask “how much”. When I came near the pharmacy yesterday I’ve seen a tag price so I bought one without knowledge what is inside.

When I reached home I removed the plastic and opened it and these what I have found (below). I don’t  know what are they, Pookie bear says it might be candies because there’s cal short for calories in the case. But as I looked in the tablets there’s 1000mg written plus they are manufactured by health companies. I don’t wanna eat/take them in to my body without knowing what is it, who knows it might be a medicine for something.

I have tried my best to search for it, like Hello Kitty candies, case and etc.,I have also search for the health company but I cannot find this product on there archives and I can’t find any thing that resemble what I have bought online. I also want the words to be translated but  I almost lost my hope, my plan is just to throw the tablets because all I have wanted is the case.

So the wise me search for the Korean words online, like the letters written on the case, bit by bit I have found them. This Korean words 헬로키티 means HELLO KITTY but I have a serious problem with second word so I have search for a virtual Korean keyboard online and the problem I don’t know what is consonant and vowels, I just experiment on the Korean letter and finally learn how to have this letter 티비타  when I translate it on Google it says Eoltibita darn I don’t know what does it means just lucky that google corrected it and says Did you mean: 멀티비타 so I clicked it and the result MULTI VITA, in short it is a multi-vitamins. I had a mistake with the consonant I written instead of  멀.  Thanks to Google everything is possible on language barrier!

Redeye Earrings and accessories

This is what I shopped yesterday at the subway station upon going home, it’s a new opened store named Redeye (probably read Red  Eye), its new because the last time I went to Seoul the store is not yet there. A lot of young ladies are also inside don’t know if all of them are buying because they’re just keep on testing the other accessories in front of the mirrors.

I have bought some earrings they’re cute to wear during parties and normal days. The prices varied on the size and kind. I wish I had a lot of money so I can buy more accessories, they also have different kinds of watches, clips, key chains, head bands and other small stuff for accessories.

The long earrings has 14K GP but I don’t know if it is real.

My visit to Seoul today

My self timer photo in Itaewon, thanks to the stairs.
I went to Seoul today to meet my cousin, I did not catch the one o’clock but so no choice but to got the 1:30 bus ride to Seoul. Out of my expectation the moment we enter the city its traffic, buses and cars are not moving,  the other passengers are already getting bored and they went to the driver to ask if they can just walk probably also had commitment and they are getting late. I don’t understand what they are talking but base on their movements it looks like the driver wouldn’t like the idea of letting his passengers wander in the street, maybe he is thinking he is going to be responsible if his passengers meet an accident, so we moved slowly and after few minutes the driver tell something I could not understand it again but when I saw the other passengers moving out the bus I followed. The driver is instructing something I just walk and follow the other passengers and that’s how I found that what the driver is talking about “just walk straight into the subway”. As I went into underpass I really can’t hold my pee that I’ve been holding since we enter Seoul. So I was relieved when I found a comfort room sign. I was almost lost looking for the subway station because the underpass I’ve get in was also a large shopping center below the bus terminal, so I have made my way into the group of shoppers and hurriedly load my card, as I am going down for the train I’ve seen a pay phone. So I tried dialing my cousin’s number but my coin just keep on falling in the change compartment. Running out of time because it is already three o’clock I have told my cousin we have to meet between two and three o’clock in the afternoon.
Just so lucky when I went down there’s a train going to where am I going, I get out the train walking/running I transferred to Yaksu. I also found a pay phone and I tried to dial again, it is ringing but after it  a Korean operator is saying something and my time is  running so probably its a leave a message scheme. Feeling worried I board another train to Itaewon, I just had the feeling that my cousin had already left. When I reached Itaewon I run so fast to the exit and look for a pay phone. There I have dialed and your guess is right as mine, she already left thinking I am not going to show, because when I reached our meeting place it is almost one hour after three o’clock. 
So what I am going to do then, I just came and I am also going home, it feels like I just wasted money to step in Itaewon, feeling anxious what to do I went out to Itaewon and had a short walk and take some photos then return to the subway and to the bus terminal where I came from. 
On the subway station near the terminal I went inside the newly open store I have first saw when I arrived but due to running out of time I didn’t went in, so I have a lot of free time right at the time so I shopped for some stuffs. It is going to be another blog. 
Traffic going to Seoul
To cut the story short I bought my bus ticket,  then buy some present for Pookie bear. I didn’t got the five o’clock bus, so have to wait twenty minutes for the next bus other passengers are getting confused because there’s 5:20 and there’s 5:30. The bus is almost full when a guy who checks if the bus is full or not  came to our seat (I have seatmate a Korean lass) he is showing another half of a ticket to me so I showed him my ticket he was surprised like something so he asked my seatmate and that’s where they found out my seatmate has 5:30 time on his ticket, maybe he is also number 28 and maybe he also thought I am a dork stealing his seat. Lol! Anyway I think the Korean man checked the tickets and found out there’s 5:30 time on it that’s why he came to us. 
So we left the terminal and my seat mate is already a young lady, as it is expected it’s traffic so we are informed we are going to have a detour to avoid traffic but it seems most vehicles thought the same thing so we are still stuck in traffic, our one hour bus trip became two hours and few minutes. It looks like people are going home for Chinese New Year, and enjoy the long weekend. It is going to be holiday here starting tomorrow. It’s a long weekend, Pookie bear is thinking to go to Seoul on weekend and had a buffet. There will be a grand opening of a restaurant in Itaewon, that serves sushi and international food. It is going to be a party..
