Weekend Whatever

Hi guys! Today's the last day of my weekend. Nothing out of the ordinary happened tho. But it was still fun. Let me start by Saturday. Usually, my Saturdays are spent lazying around but this time I never had the luxury to do so. My two sister were out, my nephew came to kinda "ruin" my weekend. I'm not much a kid lover specially if they're still in their todd years. I mean, they're just like hurricanes! It was real cray!

Later that day, I dragged my lazy ass to the mall to meet an office mate, I promised to bring her to this real awesome Korean Restaurant. And you know how much I love Korean dishes.

We had Samgyeopsal party. Hmm... FYI, Samgyeopsal is grilled pork belly wrapped in lettuce, inside together with the grilled meat, you can put grilled garlic, Korean paste (idk what its called but it's kinda salty), I like mine with Kimchi and a little sesame oil with salt and pepper. 

My little brother Nikko, Leslie, our samgyeopsal and of course, yours truly :)

We were so stuffed! I said, it's like the very first time that I was really full in my entire like. Not to exaggerate but since I got my braces on, I kinda "lost" the love for eating. Since we were so damn stuffed me and my brother decided to loose some meal weight and walk our way home, since it was quite near the house. And I ended my weekend with some movies.

I enjoyed this movie. While watching it, I remembered the thrill I always get when playing Left 4 Dead. Haha!

Sunday came, I woke up pretty early 'cause my mom asked to go visit her sister but to my surprise, she was not there. So my trip was cancelled. Gram called in, said to visit her instead, so I did. Home bound and feeling all lazy, I just fired up the mean machine to watch some anime. After an hour or so, Gram asked if we could go out for a walk. While walking, we decided to grab a couple of milk teas.

Beat the heat! Tea time with Ma :)

Actually, I ended my Sunday writing this entry but I ran out of words; so I just finish it now. Haha!
Anyway so, that's how I spent my last weekend for the Love month before the summer really kicks in. Hmm.. Summer eh? Okay, let's talk about that some other time. :D

BIG THANKS YA'LL!

Yes Boss!!

Hey guys. It's been sometime since I shared something. I don't feel the usual lazy, 'cause I feel SUPER lazy, I mean to the highest level. *yawn* Geez. I lack the motivation again. Actually, I came to work 5 minutes late; so that adds to the super lazy feeling of mine. It's a total bad-trip 'cause I never thought that I would be late, thanks to traffic of course! SIGH.

Okay, enough of the hatred. I just had my snack with one of my favorite person, My Lalic. We've been friends since college days, we've been through ups and downs of course, if you know us by afar we both totally have a big contrast in personality but no matter what we still remain very good friends. See, we're always troubled thinking what to eat for snack. The place where we work doesn't have much to offer when it comes to food so we always end up dinning at the same old restaurant over and over and over. But today, we decided to go something different, we headed to Pancake House.

Pancake House has always been a favorite of mine, especially their chicken lollipop. If I remember it correctly, I was so head over heels with it. Okay, for today's menu; Lalic tried the Ham and Cheese Omelet, it has yes the ham and cheese omelet, 2 triangular toasted bread, butter and a little salad. I had the Grilled Cheese (don't we just love cheese? Haha!) it's basically melted cheese sandwich in a toasted bread cut into two and a couple of pineapples and pickles on the side and an ice cream shaped potato salad. It was the bomb! It stuffed up to death! *two thumbs up* and the price is... just okay. :)

Snack date with my Lalic. :)

Okay, so the good mood has been redeemed. Now, I'd like to brag something more personal. Haha! Today, it the birth date of a man who's very dear to me. He was the boy to held me so gently. The first person who made me smile and laugh like crazy. He's the first person to brag the world about me. The first person who called me "my precious". He may not talk much but his words definitely reaches me. He may not be there at all times but I know that he supports me all the way. I'm talking about my Dad guys. Haha! I just want to tell the whole wide universe that I am one lucky person to have such an amazing dad.

Me, my Awesome Dad and the late Whooper (he died like two month ago, he's a chocolate colored Labrador)

He may not be the richest person in the world but he surely did give us everything that he worked hard for. And he also gave me that one thing that no one could every take away from me and that is my knowledge. And of course he's also the wackiest person next to me. I just notice, as my dad ages he spends more time with us now. Not like when we were still kids, he's always out working, saving for our schools fees and stuff. Now that most of his kids can stand up quite firmly, he's just still there continually guiding and reminding us of the does and don't of life. He also enjoys joking a lot with us now. Sometimes when he's really in the mood to fool around he even calls us boss and we ask him to do short errands like "Dad, get me a glass of water." "Get my bag." Buy me this and that." Haha! It's so much fun, really.

 I also learned a lot from this guy. He knows how hard life is but he never gave up all for our sake. He's one of my inspiration why I am working my ass out. It's more than a blessing knowing this kind-hearted person. Of course there are times that he gets mad at us. O-M-G. Haha! I suddenly had a flash back when he gets angry as if he was hulk to go ballistic. Haha!

Shh! You know what, I didn't greet him today. Hihi! For sure, he's crazy mad about this. Actually, me and the rest of the fam are planning to throw him a birthday bash this coming Saturday, so I really can't wait for it. Don't worry, I'll tell you all the details next week. Sigh. Surely, time flies when you are having fun.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, NO MATTER WHAT. :)

Now, you know my super dad. Tell me a story of your super dad too. :)

Thanks for reading.

Surprise!

Surprising Tuesday to one and all! Sigh. Feels so formal. Haha! Hi guy. What's up? Me? Ah.. How do I say this? Well, I lack sleep and just like yesterday my brain isn't at it's best well, I think that's always? Yeah, it is! Haha! Okay so anyway, I have this English Tutor job right, so I basically I get to go home like around 12 midnight and I usually fall asleep kinda late like about 1-3 in the morning 'cause I have an insomnia. How many of you have it too? Okay, so now you know how it's such a pain in the ass.

Okay and that's done already, I fell asleep, FINALLY! The next day, I woke up like around 6:30 and do you know the feeling how it hurts in the eye knowing that you are still freakishly sleepy and it's like sooooo freakin cold too like you just want to cuddle with whole lot of pillows and stuffed animal (Oh yeah? I sleep with lots and lot of those)?! Sigh. I woke up 'cause my brothers brought home his "newly loud mouth" girlfriend to check on my little sister, 'cause they're friends like that as well. And I was like "What the heck?! It's only 6:30 in the morning you bitch?! What's freakin wrong with your brain?!" And about 10 minutes of chatting with my folks she went home (Oh! Good Lord!). BUT, I wasn't able to fall asleep EVER again. ERRR!!

Sooo.. What I did was to do my laundry and play my ever so amazing PSP. Haha! And after that, I cooked me some grub. And it's a YUM YUM YUM moment for me (pat in the back, good job girl.). Harhar! And when I was on the way to the office I suddenly remembered that I forgot to run some errands for my mom. Sigh. YES! 23 is sooo old. Geezz.. So I'll just do 'em tomorrow, I guess; IF I do not forget of course. And when I got here at the office this what I got.............

SURPRISE!

Pepero sticks! "OMG! Who's it from?!" I asked. And sensing that there's only ONE person I know that will give me these! Well, It's not that people out there don't give me anything. It's just like I feel SUPER DUPER SHY! Haha! Just so you know, I can talk big but REALLY, I'm just a humble person (pat in the back, nice speech) Haha! Sigh. I was just surprise and all. And honestly now, I felt uneasy about it. Yes, I appreciate the effort but still. yiiii!!! I'm just NOT use to these "friend giving me stuff and all" thinggy. I'm a generous friend, that I am. So yes, I'm usually the giver not the receiver but this time the tables turned back against me.

Taiga: Don't give me milk!

And another surprising thing is, I'M NOTE FEELING SLEEPY AT ALL! HAHAHAHA! But I am the usual lazy person. Sigh. What about you? Anything surprising happened this day yet?

Anyway, good day guys! And SUPER thanks for droppin by, 'preciate it big time! :)

Weekend! 11.11 Pepero Day!

Hi guys! It's dreaded Monday again. Haha! I woke up so late today. Really, I am soooo lazy today! Just like my dear friend said "Slow Monday". Sigh. Why is it so hard to move on after a relaxing weekend? Oh yeah! Speaking of weekend, I was dead tired over the weekend! Phew! Saturday was just an ordinary day. Went to the mall to grab a couple of Christmas decorations, in short SHOPPING! Hahaha! 'Cause, it's that time of the year again. We spent the whole day, doing nothing but that. Man, and it's soo damn tiring I tell you.

And Sunday came, it was November 11 or 11.11, Pepero Day in South Korea. Pepero Day is named after the product Pocky. Just so you know, Pocky is a cookie stick dipped in a chocolate syrup . Pepero Day is like Valentine's Day in South Korea. This holiday is kinda important mostly to young people and couples. 'Cause duing  Pepero day, they exchange Pepero sticks, other candies too and/or romantic gifts as  the say.

I can't find any Pocky products in the grocery stores so I just got the Philippine version of it.

And yes, I too participated in celebration of this holiday. I bought a couple and stock them at home 'cause I'm not so much of a chocolate freak. And of course, I shared some too, gave one to my cousin and some to a chocolate freak friend. Haha! 'Cause I kinda got worried 'cause he said that he was feeling down and I as a friend, I wanna do something about it. And yeah, I think he got a lil okay tho. Sigh. I'm still feeling slow today.

Anyway, Happy Slow Monday! :)

Pweee!!

Hi guys, I just had my dinner with one of my best girlfriend ever one could have. Haha! Okay, so here's the quickest story ever! I had a 30 minute break, just a snack break tho but turned out to be dinner. In the place where I work there is a lot of fast food houses like McDonals, Jollibee, Buddy's, KFC and Mang-Inasal. And we far sooo loyal to KFC so we dine there.

 
At first, it was kinda' hard to choose what to eat (tho, there's nothing much there but a hand full of chicken) so we decided to try the KFC Chicken BBQ Rods and guess what? Dude! It taste like, Sorry Colonel Sanders, I do love you recipes but this really taste like URGH! The food was so frustrating, the sauce to be exact. It was too sweet (for me) that it didn't go well with the taste of the chicken. And the java rice taste weird too. Sigh. Goodness! I really regret that we tried that.

Okay, I just want to say my deepest sorry if I ever broke your heart with this entry, I just REALLY didn't appreciate the taste.

But still, do try it. Remember, we differ in taste buds, so maybe you will like it.

So yes, that's it for today. What about you, any food you want me to check out?

Thanks for always being there ya'll! :)

Weekend: SunDATE

Sigh. Weekends are one of the best days ever. I usually sleep on those days, 'cause that's (probably) the only day that I have for myself. And sometimes I also spend my weekends with friends, chilling, watching movies, pigging out and just plain out chat time while having a drink or two. Also weekends are super essential for families, sample just like me and my fam, everyone goes to work or to school so I barely get to see them during weekdays. And this weekend, I decided to stay at my other house (yes, I have two houses like that, harhar!) Saturday, we just to soccer class; 'cause my cousins are studying and practicing and church and grocery. Boring right? Haha! I know 'cause that's my Auntie's gig.

Here's the real deal. Yesterday, my GMom and I went to the mall and spend just some cash. *wink Haha! We had a super late lunch at Bon Chon. After grabbing a grub we then went to the sale. Yahoo! My super favorite part EVER!

Guys, honestly now; don't you just love sales? *Eyes shine* YES! See? Now you know how I feel! This is one of the best times that I can make it rain like a celebrity. Actually, it's been two straight weeks that I'm at the malls. And yes, I bought my beloved shoes. Sigh. :)

Surely pink and purple really goes together well. Nike Air, Idk what style but I like it!

Adidas, Idk the style either but I feel comfortable in them.

I got these babies like in a neat price that saved my sweet ass in being blacklisted in the banks. Haha!

I must say, if you'r so into shopping like I am, why not wait for the nearest sale in the malls near you, just be updated so if you are to spend a 'huge" amount of money in one thing why not get a thing or two in half the price? Yes? Better. It was really fun shopping, stress buster as always! But cash robber too! Harhar! So shop wisely mates!  :)

 A-okay! Satisfied consumer, that I am. :)

How did you spend your weekend? :) Thanks for droppin by.

A Taste of Korea

Hey. How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. Spend some quality time with my brothers and sisters. Honesty, we all have different lives, friends and interest now so we don't get to hang out that often. But over the weekend, I had the chance to sit back and relax with them.

Over the weekend, my phone reminder rang to remind me that my shopping card dues to get the points so I quickly pact and went out. I was with my younger brother and my other sister left to meet up with her best friend. I was just thinking that this would be a really quick errand but it turn to be more fun vat the end. After attending to some errand, I decided to ask my brother where he likes to eat, he mentioned a certain restaurant that we always eat but I don't feel like eating there and suggested that we try something different and we end up eating at Bon Chon.

 My little brother whom I named, Nikko. :)

 Long before I started working as an English Secondary Language tutor, I've been friends with Koreans that I often meet in church. The are so famous for their Kimchi, its fermented cabbage in pepper paste.

Okay, as I was saying; here are the goods that we ordered. Hope you like it too. And do try it as well. It was so stuffing, delicious and at a reasonable price too. :)

 I had this, Chop Rice box. Two pieces of chicken whether you like it in spicy or soy garlic. I'm so adventurous that I tried the spicy and it was SPICY! LOL And this comes with a drink, choose from soft drinks or iced tea at 145Php.

 One of my favorite is the Japchae, stir fried sweet potato noodles only at 75Php.

 Nikko had Crispy Squid Rice box 145Php

 My sister, Xhieng had Fish Rice box meal at 145Php

And for desert we tried the Ko-Yo, or the Korean Yorgurt. We picked these 'cause all of use had the spicy meals. Not only that it was good, it kills the heat as well.

 Blueberry Torte at 75Php

 Banoffee Pie at 75Php

 I had a great time hanging out with them, And we got super stuffed after.Nothing beats a good meal and a good relationship, Yes? :)
