Shopping Spree

Hubby took a half day off yesterday so we can go to Daegu and send my Mother some money. Since we transferred overseas, I find it hard to send money online, I have tried three online sources but they keep rejecting my transactions so I got fed up with it and said screw them. I'm glad to have found the Western Union there although we have to drive 2 hours, its worth it than dealing with online crap. I also found out that its cheaper to send there. But anyhow, we left at 12 noon, got lost a little bit but we managed to find the right way. Thanks to the GPS that our friend lent to us. We didn't turn it on at first because hubby though he would be able to pull it through without being lost but as usual our luck in directions sucks hahaha.. We both are, which isn't good, oh crap!

We arrived to our destination at around 2 pm, did shopping a little bit and ate at BK. Our lil' ones had a chance to play in the play area of the resto. Here are some snappy..

After we ate we went to the Commisary and bought some stuff then we headed home at around 5 pm. So there was our yesterday's happening...

Cherry Blossom Festival

These pictures were taken during this year's Cherry Blossom Festival; the first week of April. Cherry Blossom reminds me of the movie Memoiers of the Geisha because there are ome scenes there with CB flowers. One of my friend here, makes a document of the stages of this charming flower from the erupting of the bulbs, when it blooms and until it fall off the ground. I find it a pretty neat idea.

Here's us enjoying the scenery....

Isn't it amazing how God made everything beautiful?

I'm so thankful that I am not blind, I can see everything around me

I am thankful that I am not deaf, I can hear the musical chirps of the birds

Thank you Lord that You made me experience all these!

Kielbasa + Sauerkraut

Do you eat kielbasa (pronounced as Kabasi)? I was craving for that smoked sausage that my father in law used to cook in his house. So when we went to the big commisary in Daegu today, we bought two packages of it along with a big jar of sauerkraut (firmented cabbage). When we arrived home, hubby cooked it. It's easy to prepare, you just basically slice the sausage and add the sauerkraut and bring it to a boil, add some black pepper and tadah, good meal na. Hubby added a little bit of Michelob light beer to take away the sourness of the cabbage.

100 days flower

One thing I loveabout Korea is their people's love and passion about flowers. Everwhere you go there's an array of neatly arranged flower beds and gardens. It's so refreshing on the eyes. Aside from the famous cherry blossoms, I also love this flower called 100 days. Lilac and pink are the colors of the flower when they bloom. Here's the beauty. Aren't they pretty? Wondering why its called 100 days? Our tour guide told me that it is called by that name because the blooming of the flowers takes 100 days from August-October.

Pig in a Blanket

Me and Rylie made pigs in a blanket for our merienda (snack) this afternoon. We had fun doing it! It's so quick and easy to prepare. We bought a pack of Pillsbury crescent roll and wrap up the smoked sausages, put it in the oven and bake it for 20 minutes and its done! uhhhmmm yummy!

Try to do it with your kids, its fun!
