Lotteria

Do you think it will refrain me from eating hamburger because of the Mc Donald issue? Of course not! There's also a Korean Fast Food Company like Mc Do and it's called Lotteria.

My hubby met his friend and on his way home, he dropped by to Lotteria and brought this for me. There's a newly opened Mc Do near my place and it always attracts me to visit there whenever I passed by. But I tried not to but of course I can't deny that I'm also craving for a hamburger. Instead of going to Mc Do, I have to replace it with Lotteria. Btw, Lotteria has delicious hamburgers. Try their bulgogi hamburger, it's delicious!

I suddenly remember that I also saw Lotteria in Thailand and Vietnam. I was surprised!

Wax in her Sunglasses Dress

Wax (Cho Hye Ri) is one of favorite singer and Hwajangeul Gochigo (Redoing My Makeup) is one of my favorite songs. The song that I usually sing when I go to noraebang (karaoke room). Wax is old and not pretty but I like most of her songs. I like her voice and I like the way she sings. She sings with feelings.

When I saw her singing in one of my favorite programs which is on every Friday evening, I was amazed not with her new song (I don't like her new song but the music video is good) but with dress that she was wearing. Her dress is made of sunglasses. You could even see several faces of the person that she was talking. If you saw Park Ji Yoon in her rag fashion, Wax was wearing her sunglasses dress. Wow!

New Korean Bill

It's the new Korean bill that the government released last month June 23rd. I was planning to post about it earlier but I couldn't get enough time. It's the most expensive bill. It used to be 10,000 around 10 dollars (over ten dollars before but the exchange rate increased) but now it's 50,000 won, around $50.

The problem appeared when some people say that the bill was too weak and sensitive. They said the money tears easily because the vein (or root? what do you call the tie inside the money?) can remove easily because of its big hole. But later on they said that wasn't a problem so they would continue to release the money.

High Five

It's not unusual to see kids wearing eyeglasses at their very young age. You'll see them wearing eyeglasses everyday. There are kids who can't go to school just because they broke their eyeglasses. They can't study without their eyeglasses. I guess it's time for them to have many pairs of eyeglasses rather than missing their classes. You'd better watch Zenni Optical on TV!!! Isn't it great to know that you could get $ 8 Rx eyeglasses? Good news, isn't it? High Five to Zenni Optical for this wonderful service for everyone.

Park Ji Yoon in her rag fashion?

Isn't she so pretty?


She's Park Ji Yoon, one of the famous singers in Korea. She's so pretty but I was surprised to see her wearing that clothes when she appeared as a guest at Yoo Hui Yol's Sketchbook. An entertainment program of KBS2. Doesn't her blouse look like a rag? I remember when I was in Elementary, we had to make a doormat as a project in Home Economics and her blouse is similar as that. I don't know much about fashion but even when it's in, I would never wear that blouse. How about you?

Anyway, her blouse didn't look like a rag because of her jeans. She got the perfect match for it. I'm interested with her jeans but never with her blouse.

Two days weather in Korea

Did it rain in your place? Well, it did here and it wasn't only rain but also strong wind. The wind scared me a lot. Imagine yourself living in the highest floor of the building. I was sleeping and the wind blows woke me up early in the morning. I heard a loud bang of the windows. My hubby said it was okay. He tried to make me calm but the loud noise from the windows bothered me a lot so I couldn't sleep well. It rained for two days here. Yesterday, it was very dark and windy. Thanks God because the weather was clear today and so it's a happy Friday.

Btw, the bad weather left some victims in some places. It created damages to some buildings that hurt some people and there was flood in some places. We are still lucky because we are safe and it didn't give us some damage except the fear that I got and lack of sleep during those nights.

Does jealousy exist in your heart?

There are two people that me and my hubbt know a lot. They are very close friends who do lot of things together. Let's just call them J and D. Both were living in the same size apartment but J moved to a bigger one and D wanted to move, too. I heard that she planned to move next to J's apartment but until now she hasn't moved, yet. I don't know what the problem is. I hope it's not because of the noise pollution where J live.

A week ago, D bought a new car. I told my hubby that J would buy a new car, too. My hubby said, he doesn't think so because J thinks that her car is more economical. So we bet. Yesterday, I heard that J bought a new car. Oh yes, I won! muhaha... I told hubby about it but he didn't wanna pay $10.

Jealousy is in the heart of everyone. Don't tell me that you don't feel envy sometimes. My hubby's friend is planning to divorce his wife because of it. His wife wants to move to a bigger apartment but they haven't paid their loan, yet. She's also forcing her husband to get a part-time job on weekends. He did before but he quit and now their relationship is in trouble. tsk..tsk..tsk..

Does jealousy exist in your heart? How do you manage it?

The elementary school near my apartment

This picture is taken from my apartment. It is the elementary school and it seems like there was an occasion in the school so the children were celebrating it by dancing and playing. I guess it was their sportsfest. I just heard a noise and when I looked out, I saw the children formed a circle and moving with the tune of the music. After dancing they played and cheered.

On weekend, it's also fun to see some people or children playing soccer that sometimes looks like a real game because you'll see some shades and you'll hear some noise of an MC or announcer. Well, I don't need to go there to watch the game. I can just sit on the veranda and watch them if I want but I don't like sports. My hubby sometimes watch using binoculars. But that doesn't take longer, I think he's just curious about the players or the games.

Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day. On this day, the nation pays tribute to the war dead, and memorial services are held at the National Cemetery in Seoul. It is a holiday but I went to work. Do I deserve an award? kek..kek..kek...

There are lots of Taegukki (Korean National Flag) raised in most people's houses or apartments and in the streets. You can get a flag for free at the city hall according to my mother in law. But we never bothered ourselves to get one. Is that mean we aren't good citizen just because we don't put flag on our windows? Of course not! As long as we don't break the law, isn't it?

Samul nori (Korean Percussive Band)

Samul nori (Korean Percussive Band) is spotlighted on the international stages of Korean music and dance. Both players and an audience easily get in high spirits. While the western orchestra or chamber music has delicate and harmonic expression of rhythm and melody, Korean samul nori has rather rough and naive expression of percussive rhythm and spirits. Folk music relies largely on metal gongs, the hourglass-shaped drum called changgo, a small hand drum and sometimes a loud, trumper-like oboe. Farmers' music is the most popular tyupe of folk music. A percussive ensemble called samul nori was originated from farmer's music. Samul nori consists of a large gong, a small gong, a changgo and a small drum.
