A surprised visit

We were sleeping when my hubby's cellphone rang. It was 10a.m. and his friend called 'cause he wanted to have breakfast with him. My hubby doesn't eat breakfast and we usually sleep until noon on weekends. My hubby just told him to come home because we have lots of dishes. We visited my mother in law yesterday and she gave us 5 or more kinds of side dishes except the main dish that we had to eat last night but we dined out so we still have the duck stew (main dish). I think I already mentioned that Koreans eat different kinds of side dishes every meal.

We got up as soon as hubby received the phone call 'cause I needed to prepare breakfast. I just served all the dishes that my mother in law gave and added some side dishes that we had in the refrigerator. After breakfast, hubby's friend walk around the house to check everything in the house. He entered the rooms, touched everything that amazed him and he even opened the cupboards and refrigerator. Did I get angry? Of course not! I already got used to it. Besides it's Sunday today and I've done all the household chores yesterday. On Saturdays, I always clean the house because I always expect a surprised visit like this. My in laws, hubby's friends and sometimes my friends. Well, we were happy to hear some good words from hubby's friend. He got a good impression and we're happy that he likes our nest.

Grapes Festival

Yesterday my hubby invited me to buy some fruits. There are lots of fruits stands here but because it has been a long time since we gone out so we decided to go to Grapes Plantation. First, to get some fresh air. Second, it's cheaper to go to plantation. Third, the fruits are fresh.

We were on our way to the Goseo Podobat that we've been before but we saw these big balloons.

They balloons that you see when there's a festival. If you wanna go to a festival, just follow the balloons hanging in the air and you can reach the place. Or if you see this kind of balloons that means they are holding a festival in that place.

After a few minutes we saw this place. Luckily, the people in Goseo are celebrating the Grapes Festival. There are many tents who are selling grapes. They also made a stage and put lots of chairs. It seems like they will also hold a singing competition.

There are also some games like catching fish in the pond.

But we didn't go there to join them in the fun but to buy grapes. Besides it was too hot so after buying two boxes of grapes, we drove home.

We gave the one box for my sister in law and another box for us.

What a strange weather

My mother in law called while I was at work. She said she prepared dinner for us. That was too early for dinner because she told us to go straight to her house after our work and that was 5:00 o'clock. It wasn't raining when we left from work but on our way to my mother in law, it rained a lot. We were scared because we couldn't see the street. The raindrops was too big with strong wind. The cars walked too slow and the orange lights of the cars twinkled as a warning sign. A few kilometers away, the road was drier and it seems like there was only rainshower in that area and after a few kilometers we saw the dry road and sunny weather. It was too strange and funny. It seems like we went to another country. A rainy season and then went to a dry season. My mother in law was surprised when we said that there was heavy rain a few kilometers away from her house. What a strange weather!~

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?
