Eye Treatment

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:38:00 +0000

Somebody called to my hubby and he said that he has to go to the police station. He wondered why then he found out that his driver's license needs to be changed. He asked everything what he needed to do and how much money does he need to get a new license. He was told to go to the police station and hospital to find out if he has a physical problem and the most important thing to be checked are his eyes. Of course most Koreans wear glasses and I think most of them have eye problems. My hubby also wears glasses but he hasn't worn them for a long time. Actually, I had a hard time finding them this afternoon because he said he might wear them to cure his eyes even for a short time. It's not surprising to Korean kids wearing glasses. I don't know what seems to be the problem is but I think it's because they study until late at night and they use much computer. And that's one thing for sure. They use computer much specially computer games. Some of them needed to get Lasik Eye Surgery. It's the best thing to do I know because glasses disturb their studies.

I think I also use much computer now a days that's why I feel that my eyes are also getting blurred. Sometimes tears suddenly fell down and it seems that they are dirty. Just in case that I can have an eye problem, I prefer to have a Lasik Surgery than to wear glasses or contact lenses. I just can't cover my eyes, they are my only assets.

If you want to get eye treatment, check out this Lasik Eye to get lots of information.

Craving Korean Food

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:22:00 +0000

We traveled for almost a month and we enjoyed the view but not the food. We had much beef in Canada which is so cheap. It's almost 5 times cheaper than in Korea. My hubby loves beef but of course we can't live with beef alone. He misses Korean food so he made a list of food that he wanted to eat. Now, that we are here in Korea, he's enjoying eating Korean food. My mother in law bought Red Combo Chicken from Gyocheon Chicken, my sister in law bought tangsuyug, jjajangmyeon and champeong, we had samgyopsal, raw fish, etc. What he loves the most is the side dishes. He misses eating different kinds of food served on the table during meals.

Ahhh, Korean food is really good and healthy food!

Whenever I go to the supermarket, I always check the coupons that are posted in front of the entrance door. I always feel upset because the products that I always want to buy don't have any discount coupons. Is it always a coincidence or they always give discount coupons to the products that can't be sold or people that are not interested of.

Cham ui (melons)

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 23:13:00 +0000

I suddenly miss cham ui or melons in Korea. I can't wait to eat this melons when I go back to Korea. They are also my hubby's favorite fruits. He can eat three or more melons in one sit. I can also eat as much as he does but I'm worried of my diet. The melons are so sweet and juicy that's why you can't stop when you start to eat them unless if you are watching your diet.

I don't know when the right time to see them in the store. I think it's during spring if I'm not mistaken. So it's already spring in Korea and I'm sure I can have a taste of them. You know Koreans always eat fruits after meals. So whatever season fruits is in the store, most houses have also that kind of fruits.

Well, I bought this melons at the fruit stand when I was in Korea. I just saw this draft on my homepage so I have thought of posting about it. Besides, I really miss eating this fruits.

Give the best for her

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:09:00 +0000

When we visited Queen Elizabeth Park yesterday, we saw a group of people and two of them were wearing wedding attire. Yes, the couple are getting married in one of the most beautiful park in Canada. While watching them taking wedding photos, I imagined how the guy proposed to her. Did he kneel down and gave her the Hearts on fire? You know, the one of the most famous diamond online. Did he also prepared lots of balloons and flowers in the same park? Ahhh, I can imagine how romantic the proposal was. It seems that the groom gave his best to win the heart of his bride.

When I see people getting married, I always think of wedding rings. What kind of wedding rings do they have and what kind of ring did the guy give when he proposed to her. How many carats and what kind of diamond is it? Is it princess cut diamonds 1,2 carat diamonds which I always want to have? Or just a simple one like my father in law bought for us when we get married. Would you believe me if I will say that I also have a set of diamonds? A ring, a necklace, earrings and a bracelet. Too bad that I lost the bracelet because it was a little big for me. I cried a lot when I lost it and I sometimes go the jewelry shop to find the one that is similar to that bracelet. Who knows somebody found it and sold it in the shop? Actually, until now, nobody knew that I lost it except my husband because he saw me crying. That was very important to me because it was a present from my in-law. Well, let's forget about it! I'm just thinking about it again and I'm feeling very sad.

Anyway, diamonds are the best gift or loveones but if you don't have enough money right now, you can still give the best for her. The wedding bands singapore are also great presents for your loveone. Then, just think about the diamond when you live together and after saving enough for it. Diamond is always a great and romantic present for someone. It's always a very touching scene to see couples giving and receiving diamonds. So, if you're thinking of giving a diamond check out the links that I've given above. There are different kinds and types of diamonds to choose from. Ladies, if you want one, check out the site and give him a sign.

Hallasan Soju

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 01:29:00 +0000

My hubby and I don't drink but when my hubby bought raw fish and oysters, they give him soju or korean alcohol for free. They gave him Hallasan Soju, the famous alcohol in Jeju Island. It came from the famous mountain in Jeju Island called Mt. Halla or Hallasan in Korean. "San" means mountain in english.

Don't forget to try Hallasan Soju if you visit Jeju Island. It tastes milder than other soju. The taste wasn't strong enough so I tried 3 shots in a soju cup but then I felt so dizzy. The mild taste doesn't mean that it's not strong enough to make you feel dipsy.

Oh, that's my cup and I just drank less than half of the bottle but I felt dizzy so I threw away the rest of the alcohol. Nobody will drink anyway.

Home-made Spaghetti

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:17:00 +0000

It's my first time to make spaghetti at home. I never tried to make before. First, I don't know how to make sauce. Second, I don't know which sauce in the supermarket is better. Third, my hubby doesn't like spaghetti much. But I think it's time to make spaghetti because the guy next door gave us this 3 bottles of Rose Spaghetti Sauce. He was going to another City and my hubby was kind to drive him to the terminal so he gave the sauce to him with some of some grocery products.

I bought sausages and spaghetti noodles the next day so I made spaghetti. I can say that it's not bad at all.

I realized that it's not hard to make spaghetti at home. It's so easy. Just boil some water and put some salt. When it is boiled put some noodles and wait for 10 minutes. Remove water from the noodles and put some olive oil on the fry pan, fry sausages and put some sauce. After few minutes put the noodles and mix well. That's it! As easy as can be!

Myeongpum Chicken

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 04:44:00 +0000

When I first came in Jeju Island, I laughed at the chicken shop named Myeongpum Chicken which means Find Article Chicken, Brand Chicken or chicken with a name. I thought it was so funny because I know lots of famous chicken restaurants like BHC, Nene Chicken, Mexicana Chicken, Pelicana Chicken, Gyocheon Chicken, BBQ Chicken, etc. (too many to mention) but this myeongpum chicken is new to me. Besides its name is Brand name so I wondered if it's really delicious as the ones that I've mentioned above. Anyway, my hubby also thought that the name is just a Brand name but it's not a shop with a brand name anyway. So we never tried to order in that restaurant.

But when my brother in law came to visit us, he mentioned about this Myeongpum chicken. He said it's famous in Jeju Island so he wanted to try it. My hubby said there's one near us but we never tried it so we ordered for my brother in law. Wow~ we never thought that it was delicious. We found out that the chicken restaurant is also a franchise brand in Jeju Island.

The chicken is delicious but too bad that it's just a little. It's not enough for three people. It's just good for two unlike other famous chicken restaurants, there's always left over when I eat with my hubby. But when we order myeongpum chicken, the amount is not enough for two of us. Anyway, here's the chicken.

And here are the contact numbers if you happen to visit Jeju and want to try Myeongpum Chicken.

Let's try our luck

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 06:39:00 +0000

My hubby and I love traveling and have I mentioned that our next trip is in Canada? Our vacation in the Island is over so we are going to Canada soon. Because we love traveling we need much amount of money for our trip so don't you think it's a good idea to try our luck in Canadian casinos? We just want to travel but of course it's impossible to just travel without making any money.

I love playing card games online and I can say that I'm not bad enough at playing my favorite card game. I think playing slots Canada online is not bad at all. Who knows I can find my luck so we can just travel forever while enjoying playing games. I sometimes play until late at night because I enjoy the game so much. I play game without any benefits so I think playing Canadian dollar dasinos will give me more benefits. Everybody wants to be rich so it's better to try our luck online rather than doing nothing at all.

Well, if you're interested, just click the link above and let's both try our luck together.

Grache Chocolate in Korea

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:32:00 +0000

I bought Grache Chocolate for my hubby last Valentine's Day. It was also my first time to try the chocolate and I didn't know that it was that delicious. I didn't have any idea about the taste of the chocolates. I just went to the convenient store near my office and saw the beautiful wrap of chocolates. It was the biggest chocolate in the store and has the most beautiful wrap so I took it. It was a little expensive and I was worried that my hubby would get angry if I give the wrong chocolates for him. Here's what I bought.

Here's what it looks after removing the wrap.

The Grache Chocolates. My hubby tried one and it seems like he loves the taste of the chocolates so he munches four of them so I grabbed one.

Wow! No wonder why he loves them. Grache Chocolates are really great! They are now one of my favorite chocolates. The crunchy nuts and almonds outside taste good and the creamy chocolates inside are wonderful. Soooo yummy! Really!

I'm glad that I got the right chocolates for my hubby last Valentine's Day.

Korean Snacks

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:54:00 +0000

Sipping coffee while watching TV at home is the most relaxing time that we can have. Coffee is more delicious with bread but I don't have any bread but I have some Korean snacks that my mother in law gave me. They are snacks that usually eat during special holidays like Chuseok or Thanksgiving Day and Seollal or Chinese New Year.

They are kind of pop rice but they are sweet. The ones on the left are soft and on the right are sticky and gummy. I don't like them much but they are worth-eating when you're bored or watching TV at home.

Spiced Boneless Chicken with Rice Cake

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 01:08:00 +0000

We are tired of eating the same chicken menu so we tried this spicy boneless chicken with rice cake from BHC. Our order came on the cup or small basin that it looks little but when you eat, it's just enough for three people. There's always left over when my hubby and I eat so I think it's good for three people.

The best thing for it is, there's no chicken bone so it's comfortable to eat. It's sweet and spicy and the rice cake is yummy, too.

Here's what the chicken look like. It has nuts and almonds that added the tasty taste of the chicken.

The rice cake is usually find under the cup so you can't see here in the picture.

My hubby said that he won't order this menu anymore but then we are always craving for it. I think we ordered this menu 3times a month.

Hubby's Set Menu at Home

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:24:00 +0000

My hubby picked me up at work. He said he prepared special dish for dinner. It's a Course A Set Menu. I wondered what it was so when I came home, he told me to sit down. On his course menu, there is salad, fresh oyster and fried beef. It's my first time to try this menu in once. I'm worried that I can have a stomachache after eating this dinner. He even didn't give me rice.

The dinner was delicious but I felt hungry again after a few hours so I cooked noodles.

Thanks honey! I love my dinner but next time, please give me some rice. hehe..

Yugpo or Jerked Beef

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:25:00 +0000

My hubby's favorite snack is Yugpo or Jerked Beef. He loves it that he can't stop eating when he starts to open the pack. Jerky is great with beer or alcohol but my hubby doesn't drink so he eats it with Cola. My hubby who doesn't drink alcohol likes eating expensive snacks and I don't say anything about it because it's better to eat snacks at home with me rather than to drink alcohol outside with somebody else.

Anyway, whenever we go to the supermarket he always checks the Yugpo and he really wants to eat but it's too expensive here in the Island so he's trying to endure not to eat but he couldn't. He went out one night and went to the supermarket alone and but this.

It's about $20. The price doesn't count as long as you see how happy he was while eating his favorite snack. hehe..

Kubne Chicken

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:16:00 +0000

One of my favorite chicken brand is Kubne chicken or Roasted chicken. A chicken restaurant that serve roasted chicken. They don't use oil when they cook chicken so it's not greasy. My favorite menu is the Teriyaki Chicken with leeks or spring onions with sauce. Teriyaki Chicken is 15,000won or $13 and leeks with sauce is 2,000won ($1.8).

I already collected 8 coupons and I think it's better to order more so I can collect 10 coupons and change them for chicken. Anyway, look at this. Doesn't it look yummy?

That's my hubby with his chicken leg.

The spring onions with sauce and two kinds of chicken sauce. The spicy and not the spicy one. Of course the pickled radish always come when you order chicken.

The Paddalk Teriyaki Chicken. Yummy!

Mul Naengmyeon

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:31:00 +0000

Mul Naengmyeon or cold soup noodles (Buck wheat noodle in cold beef broth) is famous korean cuisine specially in summer. They added ice in the soup so it's very cool and refreshing in the summer. Here in Jejudo, kogi naengmyeon or cold noodle soup with meat is very famous. So when we went to Seogwipo, we visited a famous Korean restaurant that serves cold soup noodles. The meat made noodle more delicious. Whenever we go to Seogwipo City, we always eat the noodles. It's cheap and yummy. Here's the noodles. Doesn't it look delicious?

Even when I had it many times, I'm craving for it again everytime I look at this picture. But it's winter now so I don't think it's a good idea to eat it.

Red Cabbage

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 03:43:00 +0000

If I didn't come here in Jeju, I can't know that there are also red cabbages. I was surprised to see red vegetables planted in the farm when I took a walk with my hubby. They look like red big flowers. When I came close to them, I found out that they are cabbages. It is full red even inside.

I told my hubby to have a taste of that vegetable so I cooked chicken legs. I just boiled the chicken legs and put some garlic, onion and salt. When the chicken is soft, I put the cabbage and boiled. Opppss.. The soup is red. The color is strange but it taste good. The red cabbage makes the soup sweet. It taste like potato but it's sweeter. The soup looks strange though. My hubby never tried the soup but he had much cabbage. hehe..

Noodle Soup with Ham

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 04:14:00 +0000

I'm proud that my hubby is getting well at cooking. I think he's getting more interested in learning how to cook. He's so happy when he gets good result on his cooking. Actually, even when it doesn't taste good, I always say that it taste good so he will cook again and again. That's not a problem, I'm sure if he cooks many times, he will do better. Who knows someday cooking will become his hobby and when that time comes, I will be free from cooking! Yahoo!

Oh, look what he made. The noodle soup with ham! It looks so cool and taste great! First he makes the ham soup and put some vegetables then boil some noodles in another pot. When the noodles is soft, he washed it and poured some hot soup. Wow~ it's yummy specially in winter.

Steamed Squash with Meat

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 04:44:00 +0000

I saw this steamed squash with meat inside on TV many times but I don't know how to make it so I made my own version of it. First, I sauted some pork. I just cut the meat in bite sizes put a little cooking oil on the frypan, then put the pork, when it is brown, put some minced garlic, next sprinkled some ground pepper and put some salt.

Wash the squash gently and cut the top side and remove the seeds. Put the sauted pork inside the squash and steam.

Again some cloves of garlic on top then cover it.

Steam the squash with meat if you have steamer. If you don't, you can just boil it like what I did.

When the squash is soft, you put it on the plate and serve.

By the way, you can use chicken or duck for your meat instead of pork. It's up to you what kind of meat you'd like.

It's different

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 04:37:00 +0000

I know I have lots of readers here who are willing to know more about korean food. But let's change the topic for a while because I have different thing to share this time. I'm sorry to those who are under 18 years old because this one is not for them. Pssst... my post this time is a little bit naughty (whispering). I just hope that you are more than 18 years so you can read and view the links that I have to give you. So, are you ready? Are you over 18 years old? Then this site is for you either if you're single, married, separated, etc. Sometimes, if you feel lonely, it's not bad to view squirt porn. I think it's better than doing bad things outside. At least you can watch or do it by yourself. If you're with someone, I think it's not also bad to see it specially if you both have problems when it comes to sex. It's better to watch and learn something to overcome any problems that you are facing with your partner.

At first, I thought it was wrong to watch porno either on tv or computer. But if you're on the right age, I think it's not bad at all specially when you have trouble when it comes to sex with your partner. I found out that there are partners out there who got separated or have a secret love affair because of this problem. So, rather than doing it with others why not watch and learn this squirting with your partner.

Oh well, if you want to see more, then check http://www.bangyoulater.com/video/squirting/. Pssstt.. Are you also curious like me? Even, if you don't have any problem when it comes to sex with your partner, you can still click it if you are curious. Make sure that there aren't any children around you. It's much better if your husband is there beside you but again make sure that children are already sleeping when you open it. hehehe... Anyway, whatever your purpose of checking the site, I hope it could help you in good ways.

Raisins

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 02:53:00 +0000

Raisins are one of my favorite snacks now a days. I used to hate them when I was young because they look like nose wax or dried mucus from the nose. We even teased when someone eat raisins because they are disgusting. But I started to like them when I came here in Korea and my hubby made fruit salad with raisins. There were leftovers so I decided to have some instead of throwing them away. I realized that they were not so bad at all. I sometimes buy some when I'm craving for raisins even when I don't make salad. Here's what I always buy when I go to e-mart.

They look good and taste good. They are not so sweet and a little bit sour.

Gejang

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:54:00 +0000

Ganjang gejang is soy sauce marinated raw crab dish. Yangnyeom gejang or Spicy Crab is marinated crabs in gochujang (chili pepper paste). It is a dish which is made with raw crabs and a spicy and sweet sauce of chili pepper powder, and ground Korean pear, onions, ginger, etc.

We had dinner at the restaurant and before we left we ordered more and asked the waitress to pack it so we can take it out. Here's what we took home.

Yangnyeom gejang (right photo) is my hubby's favorite. It is sometimes serve in the restaurant and it comes with some side dishes when you order the main dish specially to barbecue or samgyeopsal restaurant.

In my case, I prefer ganjanggejang (left photo) than yangnyeom gejang. Ganjang gejang is delicious when you put rice on the top shell of the crab. It's yummy. It's one of my favorites. It's a little bit salty so it's better to eat with rice. Looking at the pictures make me feel hungry. I'm craving for gejang again.

Our Meals at Bangjangsan Campsite

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 06:04:00 +0000

We went camping in Bangjangsan Recreation Forest and here's what we had at the camp site.

We usually order chicken at home and bring it at the camp site and have it for lunch. So here's our lunch. Some chicken, eggs, hot pepper and kimchi.

We arrived at the camp site at late noon so we had lunch late. But before it gets dark, we decided to have dinner. And because we aren't hungry, we just had eggs, fruits and yoghurt. Our left over from our lunch and dessert.

I remember that I forgot to wash the dishes at home when we went camping in Hwemunsan Recreation Forest. At that time, I also forgot to bring dishwashing liquid. So, here I washed them at the camp site.

We don't usually have breakfast at home because we always sleep and get up late but at the camp, we have to sleep early and get up early. We are so hungry after getting up unlike when we're at home we always have midnight snacks but in the camp we can't because we are asleep at midnight. But it's still hard to have rice for breakfast so we just had bread and coffee.

Picnic with In-laws

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:10:00 +0000

Since we are living here in Jejudo, my in-laws came to visit us. First, my mother in law, next my sister in law and her family, then my brother in law and his family, and last my hubby's cousin and his wife. There are still coming on the list. It's a good chance for them to visit the famous place which is now one of the N7W. YES! Jejudo won the N7W that has just announced last week.

It's a little bit uncomfortable to have visitors but also enjoyable. We have to bring our visitors to some famous places. We recommended some good attractions to them and we guide them.

When we have visitors, we always have barbecue on the porch in a lodge that we are renting now. It's big and it's a great place for barbecue because there are lights surrounded to it. Well, here we are having barbecue. That's my hubby's hands cutting samgyopsal (korean barbecue).

My hubby again cutting sausages and my sister in law holding the plate.

We also had rawfish and maeuntang (fish soup) that my sister in law bought. She's also the one who cooked the delicious soup. She's really a good cook. I learned on how to cook from her.

Boyeong Chinese Restaurant

noreply@blogger.com (idealpinkrose) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 05:35:00 +0000

After a few months of staying here in Jejudo, we finally found a good restaurant. Boyeong Chinese Restaurant in Hallim serves delicious tangsuyug (sweet and sour pork) and samseon champeong (seafoods noodles).

My hubby went to the supermarket and saw the signboard chinese restaurant. He got off his car and asked for a business card. The next day, my hubby called and he told them to prepare tangsuyug and champeong and we were gonna pick it up after 30 minutes. They can't deliver the food to our home because it's far.

After 30 minutes we drove to the restaurant and picked it up. Here's tangsuyug and champeong was still in the restaurant. The waiter forgot to put tangsuyug in the plastic bag so my hubby called and the owner said they would deliver the champeong instead. Good! Because it's a bother to pick it up again. Besides it was their mistake. Anyway, it seems like the boss is kind enough so they delivered champeong to our home.

The sauce. It looks and taste much different from most Chinese restaurant.

Here's the champeong. It was late but we were satisfied with the service. I think they intended to put much in the bowl and make it more delicious.

Hmmmm... the most delicious tangsuyug and champeong that I've ever tasted in Jejudo.

The restaurant is near Hallim Hospital (Hallim Pyeongwon). From Hallin Hospital, go straight and you'll see a bus stop. Across the bus stop is Boyeong Chinese Restaurant. You won't miss it! It's next to Hallacom 119.
