Kimchi Friday

It’s been a few days since my last post, I am just not feeling well to write and this ‘girl thing’ is killing me.
As usual we went shopping last Friday night, buy some stuffs for home and for cheat day. In our surprise when we are paying in the counter, the old couple (owner)gave us this big container of home-made kimchi, never thought this is what they mean last week when they’re seems so interested that we always bought bag of kimchi’s on their supermarket. They said something in Korean language but in the manner that we cannot understand each other we just smile and say “kamsahamnida” (thank you), all we understand is the word kimchi. My husband and I feel so thankful to their kindness as we say thank you to them. This is full though but ‘someone’ already got his share before I can take picture.,

Since my husband arrived here in Seoul, he usually buy his stuffs in that supermarket that’s why he already got a point card, it is also the nearest super market into our apartment. Things changed last Christmas, a new bigger supermarket had opened just near it which I had blog previously. Since then only few people shop to the old one, stocks where smaller and before there are three people working in the supermarket but after our vacation in Sri Lanka they are gone, those old couple supersede them whom I am referring maybe the owner.
I feel bad for them, the old supermarket is family own and the new one is company own(because they are in uniform). How I wish, the new supermarket is gone.

Kimchi also spelled gimchi, kimchee, is one of numerous traditional Korean pickled dishes made of vegetables with varied seasonings. Its most common manifestation is the spicy baechu (cabbage) variety. Kimchi is the most common banchan, or side dish, in South Korea and many South Korean communities and locales. Kimchi is also a common ingredient and combined with other ingredients to make dishes such as kimchi stew (kimchi jjigae) and kimchi fried rice (kimchi bokkeumbap). Kimchi is so ubiquitous that the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) developed space kimchi to accompany the first Korean astronaut to the Russian-manned space ship Soyuz.

Farmville Collections

After the fuel disappear from mystery eggs e.g. golden eggs, Farmville return it again, thanks for that.

Anyway Farmville has this new collection to be completed, at first it feels very hard to complete this collections like the Gardening, Bugs and etc., but playes were too wise to think of a good strategy how to get these unlimited collections, I have been busy since this morning collecting my rewards 5 fuels, 5,000 coins and 250 XP, I can’t count anymore how many times I have completed the Gardening and Bugs collections. It is so much fun but tiring, I am so happy that my fuel reaches thousand again. If you are interested how to get unlimited gardening and bugs collections just leave a comment below..

Update as of 5:30

The glitch is not working anymore, zynga fixed it I supposed, so sad πŸ™

Frankenstein

These past few weeks I have been hooked up reading some paper backs, I have read the novel written by Mary Shelly which is entitled Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, generally known as Frankenstein.

When we heard the name Frankenstein what comes to our mind is the beast, right? At first I believed that Frankenstein was also the beast but after reading Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankestein is no other than the doctor, Victor Frankestien the creator of the beast who killed his younger brother, his friend and wife. The story was very tragic and sad.,
I am not being contented by just reading the book so I have also watched the old movie Frankenstein (1938), the plot of story is different though from the novel.

For information about the author , Shelley started writing when she was 18 and the novel was published when she was 20. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley’s name appears on the second edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In popular culture, people have tended incorrectly to refer to the monster as “Frankenstein”. Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the expansion of modern man in the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel’s subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films.

Haiti Relief Fund

Farmville has a relief fund for Haiti, due to the devastating earthquake happened a week ago. The relief fund was like this you have to unlock white corn for 25 FV cash, after it you can plant the white corn for one week, harvested every 6 hours and it doesn’t withered. My hubby and I just decided to contribute for the relief fund, so we bought 25 FV cash each by means of real money in order we can unlock the white corn. So far hubby is enjoying planting white corn to his farm, I just started today.


Fuel refills gone

The only reason why I have been addicted in hatching eggs especially golden eggs in Farmville because of the FUEL refills I could get, but unfortunately Farmville change those stuffs inside the eggs, they became useless to everyone especially golden eggs. In this case, I supposed I have more time to blog, I have also sold a lot of my golden chickens after completing the blue ribbon for Egg-celent Discovery…

White mystery eggs now has a good stuff in it, like the outhouse and the groovy scare crow, I want the latter though.

Farmville Addict

I am one of the people who is addicted in playing farmville , when I wake up facebook first before anything else, hatched egg here and there and etc., sometimes I forgot to eat my meals I just noticed it when my back starting to ache by sitting on the floor while the laptop is in top of bed. It seems farmville is everything to me, I don’t have anymore time to blog, click my earning sites and etc., if I can just prevent myself to do the call of nature maybe I will, I am sitting in front of the computer for 7-9 hours playing farmville.

Well this are the chickens on my farm, lot of golden eggs, it is so tiring to get mystery egg though. Have to load and reload my coop so many times in order I can get a lot of eggs for my neighbors.

Golden Chicken


It was been a long time since my last post, I have been busy in facebook playing farmville and collecting golden eggs and somehow golden chickens. It was so fun especially when there’s a lot of people online collecting the golden eggs from the same neighbor you had. It is like a contest, first come first serve, there is a chance that in 2 seconds the golden was already claimed by the fastest farmer. So if you really want to have one you have to guard the wall as hawk. It was so fun especially when you got one, you can get a carousel, animal float, picnic basket, black chicken, brown chicken, white and gold chicken. Sometimes it varies from the color of egg you hatched., Oh yeah before I forgot the most important thing you can get by hatching a golden egg is 20 fuel refills, others can get 55 fuel refills. It was a lot of help in plowing, seeding and harvesting your crops, it makes the work easier. I’ve got 20 fuel refills in two times.
This was the reason why I don’t have anymore time in blogging and clicking some PTC sites, been addicted with golden eggs, I have told my husband that even I closed my eyes I can still see a golden egg on my mind. (Lol)I am just blogging it right now because currently there is no golden eggs or any kind of eggs on my wall.

New Space Heater

Temperature here in Korea is getting colder, today it is actually -8 degree celsius, even the whole apartment except the bathroom and the balcony has a floor heater it is not enough because gas is so expensive that you cannot run the floor heater for 24 hours, so along with the food that we bought in the new open supermarket, we bought this space heater., I am thankful because it makes me warm at night not like with just the floor heater I need to sit in the floor just to feel the warm.
Well just a while ago our landlord came with fellow Koreans they fix the pipes because he says it is leaking on the 2nd floor they also fix the floor, put some metal and rubber to enable the floor heater work properly but I guess it is too late we already bought this space heater.

Grand Opening Sale

The best thing when shopping is when all items were on sale.
After throwing our garbage to the community bin, I saw a pamphlet beyond the stairs, as usual it is for store or food places pamphlets I just picked it up. It is normal here in Korea, you can see a lot of pamphlets and ads sticked into your door. I left it on top of our microwave, and then I have been busy to anything, later that day my husband saw it and got interested to look at it. He said it is supermarket grand opening, he is wondering where it is because he cannot understand what he is reading in the map. I just told him as a guess that it is the building in the store where two people were singing and there’s a lot of flowers., they’re been singing for three days at first I thought it is just our neighboor singing videoke we just found out that it was in the street when we went to Itaewon. Hubby said we’re going to look for their items, because it is really cheaper. So we did after few hours, it is
an underground supermarket, even it already late at night there still a lot of shoppers, mostly with a full cart. We just roam around, and look for what we want. We already had our shopping last Saturday so we cannot make a double shopping, but been tempted upon seeing low prices so these what we got. There’s a free container? the green “palanggana”. (lol)

Our Backpacks


Getting ready to Sri Lanka, nine more days before Christmas, after our visit at International Clinic at Itaewon last Saturday we went shopping We shopped I mean we bought bakpacks for us to carry to Sri Lanka, hubby decided to buy backpack because he is getting tired carrying his big luggage with wheels (lol) and I know partly he want me to carry my own bag. There are a lot of shops along the streets but only few had backpacks mostly our bags with strolley or even there are backpacks it doesn’t fit our taste. So until we end at this one shop they have a big sale the backpack originally cost W95,000 dropped to W45,000 my husband was already convince to buy that one but I disagree when he wants to buy two of them because it is the same color and style, I want something different but unfortunately that’s all they have so we went to the other shop beside it and pomise to return i we don’t find any. At the new shop we found what we are looking for but there is a feeling that I want too see more, I was pissed off when my hubby was too eager to buy right that time, maybe he was tired walking and looking. The original price of the bag was W45,000 but the lady dropped it to W30,000 maybe because she saw me really pissed off because at first he said W40,000. I have said yes to my husband because I thought he is going to choose different style but when the lady packed the bags he choose same style with me but different color. I feel a little bit annoyed and tell him, hmmmp, I want our bags not in the same style. , in the end I have thought I think it looks good that we have the same bag, right?
