July

• I expected my first month of salary.Sept. 16. Sad to say, my boss made a lot of excuses blah blah blah. She promised to pay me one week after my expected salary. I told my husband about it and he got mad. He called my boss and she still gave my husband the same explanation she told me earlier we talked. I still worked on the next day that was Tuesday. Wednesday morning my husband told me not to go to my work. I called my boss and she was soo mad. Well that was expected. kkk~ We are only 2 teachers in her academy. One is the very etchuserang Koreana..hmmp... Thursday morning My husband went to the academy and my boss told my husband she will not give my salary.Luckily my husband got a chance to talked to my boss' husband and he promised they will send my salary the next day (Friday).
  


• Sept. 23-- Friday I received my salary~ wohoo~~ I was soooo happy that time. Without the help of my very supportive husband I can't get my salary..waaah.
  


• Got interviewd again with the other English academy but the problem was the school is sooo far from our place.. :-( I rejected the offer and it was my husband decision too. This time I need to be careful in choosing and getting a job.

How did you know if he is the one?

Good eve everyone ^_^ Something just appeared on my mind. I remembered someone asked me before, "How did you know that the person who are with is the one?" Hmm. Simple question with a very difficult answer.I didn't gave her an answer that time I haven't found yet the person who will make me happy. I want to get back to her and tell her my answer. Well, ganito lang yun, based on my experience hahaha, For me, Love is like you're travelling.. You discover something that would make you become a better person, sometimes you've thought that he is the one. But in the end you've realized that he is not meant for you.. Minsan kala mo cya na pero dumaan lang pala cya sa buhay mo para turuan ka papano at ano ang pakiramdam ng may nagmamahal at may minamahal. :-)
As I look back on my past I can define love is like you are traveling in a road as what I've mentioned earlier, you will know na cya na if walang lubak, dire-diretso, in short smooth sailing ang byahe..Walang sabit, walang kumukontra, wla kang nasasaktan, yung masaya ka at masaya din ang taong nasa paligid mo. Ganun kasimple pro mahirap hanapin. Pansin ko kung lalo mong hinahanap ang love lalo mo cyang d nkikita.Kusa lang yan darating sa buhay mo. ;) In a right time and in a right place.. Don;t find love, let love find you.. Charoooot..

It's nice to be inlove. ^_________^
Happy weekend everyone~

Hello December ^______^

Taken last night at the Incheon International Airport. going home?? hmmm.kkkk~ how I wish hahaha

Christmas is fast approaching.. I believe everyone is done decorating with their Christmas Trees~~ I miss decorating our Christmas tree. I remembered last time I spent my Christmas together with my family in Phil. I don't know if I'll be happy or sad coz this is my first Christmas away from them :-( But I'm being positive coz even if I'm away from them I can still smile on that day ^____^ It's my first White Christmas here in Korea with my better half. What I'm excited about is to see snow~~ kkkkk~~ I can't wait for that day to play snowballs and make snowman hahahaha. parang bata lng. hehehehe..
Anyhow, weather is so good today~ I can see Mr.Sunshine smilling at me..
DOne washing with my bedsheets~ hahaha..
Have a nice day everyone ~

Hi everyone ^_^ How's your weekend? Hope you had a fantastic one. Well, yesterday my husband and I went to Lotte Mart to buy something. i want to blog about it later. I'm having my ramyeon ( which is my lunch ) kkk after eating this I will blog about my weeekend.~ Enjoy the rest of the week everyone~ BTW, do you like Korean spicy noodles?? ^__^

How to eat Samgyeopsal ^^

Hi everyone~~~ How are you?? So sorry for not updating my blog. Im so busy with the other blog ( tumblr) kkk. Well from now on I will keep on posting blogs here. hehe.

For now, I will be showing you a video on how to eat Samgyeopsal. Samgeyopsal ( pork belly) is one of the most favorite dishes of Korean people. The literal meaning of the word is "three (sam; 삼) layered (gyeop; 겹) flesh (sal;살)," referring to the ostensible three layers that are visible in the meat. ( This is according to Wikipedia).

My husbad and I really love samgyeopsal~~~ yummy~~ Samgyeopsal is always accompanied with soju. hahaha some veggies and of course kimchi and other Korean side dishes..



Please have a look with the video ^^










kkk~~ What can you say?? Have you guys tried eating samgyeopsal? Do you like it? ^^

Samgyetang ^_^

Hi everyone~~

Long time no visit on my blog.LOL :d

I miss blogging~~~ Since I came here in Korea I haven't got a chance to update what's happening in my life here in Korea.. Been so busy working and now I stopped working and I have lots of time to blog now.. Cool, right? hehehehhe..

I want to blog about one of the delicious Korean foods Ive ever tasted...

Last night we had samgyetang ( Chicken Ginseng soup) for dinner. My husband said, during summer season( 여름) in Korea, samgyetang is mostly served. Many Koreans really enjoy eating samgyetang for it's not only delicious but it is believe to be one of the healthiest Korean foods where you can get from the chicken, ginseng and other ingredients. My husband explained to me about the three specific days in summer. These are "Chobok"(초복), "Jungbok" (중복), and "Malbok" (말복), which Koreans believe to be the hottest season of the year. These 3 specific days altogether it's called Boknal. Why they called it samgyetang??? Well, Sam means three in Korean. So, that's why it's called samgyetang because of the 3 specific days in summer. hay kadaghan char2 .. kkk.. that's why I love Korean culture. You will learn something from the food, special holidays, weather, even clothes,etc... kk~ Have a nice evening people ^_________^ btw, I haven't got a chance to take a picture of samgyetang which my eomma served to us this dinner instead I searched a picture in google in order for you to see how samgyetang looks like.. kkk. Looks delicious , right? yeah it really is.. kk....
