Back to the normal plan

2009-07-11T13:31:00.002+09:00

I've just mentioned here about our appointment with my in laws but last night my mother in law called and said that she couldn't make our appointment. Her friend is coming to her house and they would go somewhere to visit another friend. Last night, hubby and I planned to go on a picnic. We set the alarm at 8:30 and woke up at 9:00a.m. After breakfast, the sky started to get dark then it rained about an hour later. The weather is against our plan.

A few minutes ago, my mother in law called again. Her friend cancelled their appointment because of the rain so she wants us to visit my sister in law and have dinner at her house. Instead of dining out, my sister in law will cook so we can make our former plan to gather together this weekend.

DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) Virus

2009-07-10T19:46:00.005+09:00

Have you heard about the virus that attacks South Korea and the United States? It says North Korea is involved but there's no evidence about it. I know most Koreans are aware of it including my hubby of course. Late at night he called his friend and asked for help to avoid that DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) virus. Also last night when he uploaded a file to protect our computer from virus. It took him about an hour and we are hoping that our computer will be free from DDOS virus.

Stylish and Classic Coat

2009-07-10T19:04:00.003+09:00

It's summer but who said that we don't need to buy a coat in the summer? Do we really have to wait for the season to buy the clothes that we need? Of course not! Specially when you see the clothes that you really want. Can you wait for the season to come before you buy that clothes? Is that mean we have to wait for spring to come before we buy this tie on a bright trench coat? I don't think you can do that. Aren't you afraid that someone will get it first? Can you spend the cold and warm weather without wearing the nice coat? Well then, your winter and spring is incomplete without it.

Don't you just love wearing stylish and classic coat to show your beauty on spring and winter? I used to hate winter but because of the nice and beautiful coats, I think I will start to like it. Time flies! You don't have to wait long before you can wear the coat. You'll just surprise one day that it's already cold in your place and you need to wear the stylish coat. So I'm telling you that, right now is the right time to get the coat for winter and spring.

I hate working on weekends

2009-07-07T22:44:00.003+09:00

I was so busy. I work very hard. I work until midnight on weekdays and I also work on weekends. I hate working on weekends but there's no choice. I want to quit my job but it's impossible. I believe that there's a reward in every effort so I'm expecting that reward. I deserve a reward, man! hehehe..

Now you know guys why until now you can't see me in your blog. I was so busy. But my work on weekends is done so I'm available again but this weekend, we have an appointment with my in laws. We'll meet them and have dinner together. I also want to take a break so I invited my hubby to go on a picnic but we can't cancel our appointment with my in laws. Whenever we plan to go on a picnic, there's always another appointment comes. But I don't look at it in a negative way 'cause I know that my in laws also want some time to share with us.

Swap homes

2009-07-05T16:41:00.002+09:00

Have you seen the movie "The Holiday" directed by Nancy Meyers? I saw it a few days ago and I'm very curious about the site where the two women swap homes in each other's countries. If you like travelling, I think it's a good idea to just swap home rather than staying in an expensive hotel. I told hubby about it and he's very much interested.

Is there anyone here who ever tried to swap home? What do think of this idea? Are you willing to let other people stay in your house? Hmmm... I want your opinion, guys!

Is it right to read someone's email?

2009-07-02T20:00:00.005+09:00

Have you ever read someone's email? How would you feel if you see your co-worker reading your e-mail? My co-worker was beside me sitting at her desk when I was sending an email to a friend. Then, I saw her looking at my monitor reading the mail that I was writing. How would you react if it happened to you? Would you tell her not to read it? Would you close the site and shut down the computer? Or just keep going on what you're doing? Will you send the mail?

Well, I was very upset! I wanted to shut the computer but I don't wanna act something rude to her. I stopped writing and pretended that I was thinking of what to write. Maybe she noticed about that so she walked away. I didn't send the email to my friend. I wanna change the content of my mail but I can't think of anything to say. Now I've decided not to send email using the computer in the office. "Aygu!"

Do you take out the trash?

2009-06-29T22:33:00.003+09:00

I was going to the supermarket and was about to take out the trash when my hubby stopped me. He said, people would think of him as a bad guy if I would take out the trash. Really? I saw lots of ajumma (old women) taking out some garbages and I don't think people thought something bad about their husbands. For me, it's unusual to see a man taking out the trash although I see lots of them carrying garbages when they go out. Is it the men's job to take out the trash? I don't care! My hubby was too tired to throw away the trash and it's not a big burden for me so I carried it on my way to the supermarket.

Nobody cared about the trash but when somebody saw me carrying two bags of groceries, she said I should have called my hubby and asked him to carry the groceries for me. *Tiriri*. I said the bags weren't heavy. Some of them were just snacks.

I told my hubby about the ajumma that I met on the elevator. He said, don't buy too much groceries next time and he smiled. hehehe...

My computer is fixed

2009-06-22T23:50:00.002+09:00

My computer has been fixed. The mechanic came here yesterday morning. We woke up early because that was the appointment that we made. He came on time and it took long time to fix it. He changed the modem into new one and downloaded something to remove and protect some viruses in my computer. We got everything for free. We expected to pay over 50 dollars for our computer but we didn't pay anything. Hmmm... the service is really good. Now my computer is back to normal again. It's fast but I'm still worried to use it. You know, it's too early to break it again.

My computer and the internet

2009-06-20T17:12:00.004+09:00

I thought I broke my computer again. It's too slow and I lost twice the post that I created. It was too annoying! Yesterday, we went to the shop and asked about the fee just in case that we'll have them had our computer fixed.. My hubby told about the problem and they made an appointment. This morning, my hubby brought the computer card to the shop but then they found out that there was no problem with it so he came home and went out with the whole pc. He said it would take 2 hours to fix the computer but he came back in less than thirty minutes. The mechanic told him that he couldn't find any problem with the computer. But why is it too slow?

My hubby called the internet company. He guessed that the problem might be with the server so they promised that they would come to my house tomorrow to check out the problem. hmmmm..

If you are leaving in another country, we can't think that there would be a problem with the computer. But this is Korea. You know, internet here is too fast. It takes more or less than a second to open a window. I think it's the third fastest internet in the world if I'm not mistaken. When I visited some countries, I went to the pc rooms and used the internet in the hotels. It's hard to blog and search something that you're looking for because it takes long time before the window appears. In the hotel, you'd better use the computer if you're planning to wash up or brush your teeth. Click what you are looking for and you can finish brushing your teeth before the window appear. hehehe.. It's true! It's true! Even in Australia, the internet is too slow. You just can't realize how slow it is if you haven't tried to use the internet here in Korea.

I won't recommend this restaurant

2009-06-15T23:15:00.005+09:00

We had dinner at the restaurant last weekend. I was inviting my hubby to go to our favorite Chinese restaurant but he was tired so we went to the restaurant nearby. There's a restaurant here that we always pass by that used to be a meat store and they just put a tent and some tables and chairs in front of the store and now lots of people go there. We always thought of trying their food so last weekend was the right time. I don't understand why there are many people go there when the meat isn't delicious. They don't even serve lots of side dishes like what most Korean restaurants do. After eating meat, we ordered bibimbap and it only came with kimchi. There was no other side dishes or soup. The bibimbap was also terrible. The price of the meat is similar to famous restaurants when there's nothing delicious that you could eat.

If you don't drink alcohol, it's a waste of money to eat in that restaurant. The restaurant is just for people who drink alcohol and can't taste the meat well. hehehe... No wonder why they served us alcohol even when we didn't order one. I won't recommend this restaurant.

My guest

2009-06-13T18:12:00.002+09:00

I was cooking lunch when my hubby's friend called. He said he's in my neighborhood so he wanted to meet my hubby. Instead of going out, my hubby asked me if he could just tell his friend to come over to our house. Of course! Who am I to reject my hubby's request? Besides, I also told him to invite his friend and have lunch with us. I cooked more menus so it took longer to prepare lunch. My hubby's friend saw that I was busy in the kitchen so he asked what I was doing. Hubby said, it always takes me so long to prepare food but it always end up with one or two menus. hahahaha... My hubby was right! I only cooked two menus (ojing-o and chapche) and just served the side dishes in the refrigerator. I wanted to cook more but it would take longer and it would be too late for lunch.

They both ate much. There was no left over with the main dishes that I made. My hubby's friend said that it was delicious. When he left, I asked my hubby again if the food was good. He said it was! Yahooo! I was really worried so I felt relieved after seeing the empty bowls and dishes. Btw, our guest also said that he was full that he couldn't eat the fruits that I served for dessert. hehehehe...

Exercise in the morning

2009-06-12T21:56:00.003+09:00

Last Monday, we've started to jog every morning. We made a rule at home that we have to go to bed by 2a.m. and go jogging by 10a.m. We have to sleep earlier so we can get up in the morning. We feel good after running for about an hour. We are more active now a days and we don't get tired easily. I don't know if it also works on me but I can see that hubby is getting younger after exercising. It's true that exercising is also good for our skin. We regret for not starting to exercise earlier. We have a running machine at home but it just stocked in the veranda. Jogging together is much better than running in the machine.

I'm so glad that hubby noticed about my weight. Even when I don't need to lose weight, we still plan to continue to do exercise in the morning for our health.

Winter Season

2009-06-12T21:25:00.002+09:00

Time flies! I can't imagine that it's already a year since we've visited Australia. I just miss Australia because it's too hot now a days here in Korea but it's winter in Australia. When it's hot, it's the right time to go and visit cold places and when it's cold, we miss the hot places. It's too complicated to live when we always complain about the weather but it's also fun if we could just go out of the country and visit the places with the kind of weather that we want. But because of our busy schedule, it's hard to steal some time to travel. We can't do anything but to remember the good things that we've done during those memorable times.

In Australia, the season and weather makes you confuse on what kind of clothes to wear. Even when it's winter, you'll see lots of people wearing t-shirts and jeans. But some people wear coats and thick clothes. So when we go out, we had to wear both thick and thin clothes. We take off the thick clothes when it's sunny and just wear it during the sunset. It's hot when the sun shines and it's cold when the sun disappears. It's too strange. Anyway, wherever you go and wherever you are, be always ready on what kind of season you'll meet.

Work, sleep and diet

2009-06-07T01:12:00.003+09:00

As usual, I slept late last night but I needed to get up early this morning. It's holiday today but I had to work. I have to sleep at least 8 hours a day but last night I only slept for 5 hours. I was too sleepy. When I came home, I cleaned the house even when I was too sleepy. After over 3 hours of cleaning up, I lay down and slept until evening so I think I can't sleep tonight. Expect me to sleep all day tomorrow.

As usual, we took a walk after dinner. My hubby told me to bring some money to rent a dvd. We went to the three video shops but we couldn't find an interesting movie. So instead of renting a dvd, we used the money to buy an ice cream. We dropped by to the supermarket that sells ice cream for 50% off. Well, the fats that we reduced after taking a walk for more than an hour came back because of ice cream. Ugh!

Wish me luck on my diet

2009-06-01T23:38:00.002+09:00

I'm now starting to take a walk every night. I do it at night because I can't get up early in the morning. I'm too sleepy in the morning and I can't sleep early at night. My hubby is helping me get enough exercise so we take a walk together. Last night, we took a walk for almost an hour and when we came home, my hubby said he was hungry and wanted to eat samgyopsal. We hurried to the market. That was ten minutes before the market's closing time. The samgyopsal smells delicious but I tried not to eat. My hubby was tempting me to eat but I chose not to or else I could eat a lot.

Wish me luck on my diet. It's summer so I have to wear my favorite clothes.

The perfect birthday present

2009-06-01T22:55:00.002+09:00

Last time, I heard my hubby and my mother in law talking about the insurance that my mother in law has paid for many years. It seems like she's having trouble with it. It's true that there are insurance companies who promised you to give some benefits but you'll just find out later that you can't get anything because your disease is not included in that insurance that you have paid. My mother in law and the whole family was so upset and disappointed with the company that they have been trusted.

Now that her birthday is coming, I think life insurance is the best present that I could give her. Of course it's the best insurance that most people trusted on the net. Why do you have to find other insurance company if you can just research and find it on the web? And why online? It's because you can purchase it 24 hours a day from the comfort of your home and office. Besides, you can also check out the reviews and see what people think of the company and you can choose the perfect insurance that you're looking for.

I could imagine his devil smile

2009-05-27T00:12:00.003+09:00

This evening, my hubby picked me up and waited for me at the parking lot. While I was walking to his way, I saw him smiling and staring at me so I walked slowly and felt like a beautiful and sexy woman. You know, I was wearing a new dress today. When I got in the car, I asked him happily why he looked at me like that. He said because I'm gaining weight and I looked fat with that dress. Ulk..! I thought he was smiling because I looked good, sexy and beautiful. While I was walking, I thought that his smile was very cute but later on I could just imagine it as a devil smile. bwahaha..

Well, his words just telling that I have to go on a diet...Right Now!

Lifestyle Secret

2009-05-25T21:53:00.004+09:00

How was your weekend? Did you have a good time? What do you usually do on weekends?Do you also go shopping on your spare time? What did you get today? Have you already got your favorite Summer Shoes? You should get them now before the season ends. Remember, time flies! You can't wear them anymore if you won't get them now.

Besides from doing shopping on weekends, how about getting an Exhale Spa to improve your overall wellbeing. After working for a week, why not release that stress and get a relaxing body and mind. Besides, it's also good for our health. By the way, don't forget to check out and add in your list the retreat schedule. The session includes core fusion sport intensive, active isolated stretch, body enlightening, etc.

After going shopping and getting that relaxing exhale spa, it's time to treat yourself with another lifestyle secret. I recommend you to get the Tracy Anderson products. Tracy Anderson is the personal trainer to Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow. If you want a good look and body then it's time to purchase her mat workout, dance cardio workout or post pregnancy workout dvd where she shares her various workout routines.

My strange mouse

2009-05-24T03:44:00.003+09:00

My mouse wasn't working well. It always made double click and it brought me to sites that I didn't click. And maybe others noticed my comment was doubled. I didn't do that intentionally guys. I just had trouble working with my strange mouse. hehehe... Sometimes, when I tried to click the sites that I'd like to visit, the site showed twice.

I was supposed to buy a mouse tomorrow when I get some groceries but my hubby fixed it. He didn't totally fixed it. He just got an idea by changing it's clicking position. If I need to right click, I have to click the left one and vice versa. I'm still confuse in using it but it is better and more comfortable than before. I can get used to it after a few hours of blogging so I don't need to buy a new one for now. hehehe...

Goodbye, Air Pollution

Roh Moo Hyun died

2009-05-23T14:16:00.004+09:00

I was shocked to hear the news that the Former President of South Korea Roh Moo Hyun (Noh Moo Hyeon) died this morning. According to the news, he was committed suicide while hiking at the mountain near his retirement home in Bongha, a village in Gimhae. He didn't mentioned to his family that he would go hiking. He was just accompanied by his bodyguard early in the morning. The police officers said that he leaped off a cliff and fell down on a rock that caused his head injuries. He was rushed to the hospital but died after a few hours.

Noh Moo Hyun apologized for disappointing the people because has been trusted by the government on his 5 years term as a Korean President. But on April 30th of this year, people were surprised to see him investigated under corruption. Some of his relatives were also arrested and questioned on charges of taking bribes.

The best baby gift

2009-05-20T22:39:00.003+09:00

It's fun to go shopping specially when you see lots of good stuffs in a very affordable price. Isn't it more fun to shop when you can compare the prices in many stores. You can't only save money but also time and effort when you shop online.

A friend of mine is pregnant and will deliver a baby soon. I've been looking for a gift to give when I visit her. At first, I was thinking of buying clothes or diapers for her baby. But I realized that it would be better if I'd give one of these strollers. It's her first baby so I don't think she has one.

What do you think of this Green + 0 months Evenflo Travel Systems? Is it also good for a baby girl? Nobody knows about the gender of her baby so it's hard to guess and choose the right color. Can you help me choose one?

The most stressful job

2009-05-16T19:07:00.004+09:00

It has been raining here since yesterday. I'm waiting for the rain to stop coz I have to go to the mart to get some groceries. My hubby went to work and he's coming soon but I still have no idea on what to prepare for dinner. There's something in the refrigerator but I think hubby is tired of eating the same food. Do you also sometimes think that it's better to be a man than a woman? Or is it only me because I hate cooking and I get much stressed when I think of what to eat every meals? Not to mention the dirty utensils and dishes used when cooking and how about the dirty dishes after meal? Isn't it the most stressful job? What do you think? I prefer to work all day in the office rather than to stay at home and prepare meals.

But men are lucky. As soon as they come home, they just sit on the sofa and watch tv. They just wait for the food to be served in front of them. Oh well, whatever! I need to go out and get some groceries now even if it keeps raining.
