phuket is my summer ♥

summer is officially over as rain started to pour a week back. now, it is really really over for tomorrow, school is about to start. :)) how i miss the feeling of first days of school. :D

and to mark summer's end, i will share my favorite picture of it. ♥

patong beach, phuket ♥

dating and snipping

*my tummy is killing me. i'm sooper hungry. :(( i don't know why i let my self starve today. i've loaned my cash before going to work. i forgot that that's the only cash i have today. my generosity fail me sometimes. XD

anyway, hello may!

they say, today was a lucky day since it rained. they say that rain on the first day of may is lucky. i hope it'll stretch for this whole month. *hungry*

but even if may has started, i have a lot of pending posts for april. :)) when can i be diligent with blogging? :))

i need my camera cord back asap, oso. i need to blog a lot of things! :P

but for today, i'll rid of one pending post. don't worry, this is random. hehe. :P

last thursday, after school, i found myself heading to rob galleria to see my oso. he was at gold's and since i'm near, i decided to wait for him. missing him lately. our shift sched is like: i sleep, he works; i work, he sleeps. :)) fail.

but thursday is a happy day, he was out early from gym and we have spare time to be with each other, yey! ♥

we went for donuts and root beer, caught a movie and grabbed a popcorn, then, dinner.

funny... i passed by Johnny Rocket's before entering the mall and i was thinking of inviting my oso for dinner there. then he suggested for us to grab dinner there without me even telling him i was thinking of it earlier. --i even forgot about it, haha. that's how long our relationship is, we tend to think alike. :))

anyhoo, i doodled with my cam apps again... XD

with a vintage vibe to match johnny rocket's setting

and the good thing about this particular thursday is that my oso finally had his haircut. hooray! 5 months worth of hair. XD

before and after, haha

photo sharing

i was in a bookstore the other day before heading home to buy myself stationery. i was planning on writing to my oso with one. but dismay. how come there are a few of it left? hindi na uso? it broke my heart realizing that i have to make do picking out from what seem like a shoe box of random stationery. childhood days are gone. :((

i began to pity on what would happen to this generation who will never experience letters coming from people they care about from very pretty paper. posting on networking sites cannot replace it, i know so.

old school is still the best!! bring back stationery!! *in rage, haha*

but i found a stationery pad i like while i was painstakingly finding myself a decent set.

it comes in themes like rome, london, paris, new york, etc. and the whole pad features leaves that have photos from the theme you've chosen. i bought the paris themed pad for myself. :)

this is a sample of a leaf from the pad. at the upper right is a picture of the eiffel tower and at the bottom, a random shot of a street in paris.

each leaf doubles as the envelope of your letter already. neat, right?

this is the instructions on how you fold it and make it as its own envelope. you need to dampen the flap to seal it all together. well, supposedly, that's the idea. but it's not sticking anymore when i tried it. :)) o well, it must've been in the bookstore a long time. but since i love it, i can forgive it. there's glue to do that job anyway, hihi. :)

i also want to share this photo i captured today. :)

yes, it's a photo of burned spam and an i-don't-know-how-to-judge-it eggs. :))

but this was best! :) i had these for lunch. my oso came by our home this afternoon and cooked this for me. he's not the best cook. but he tries. all for the love of me. hihi. :">

i ate my lunch with my oso today while watching random cable shows. and that's a good afternoon spent. i love my oso. he's best. :)

gno: lpg edition

for valentines day, i had a date with my single girl friends at greenbelt. my oso has work so my evening was free. i went out to dinner with some of the lpg. we ate at Mary Grace after resto hopping. greenbelt was packed with people so we end up on waiting lists on the restaurants we went to. but i guess it was a blessing since i loved the dinner we had. ♥

here's a collage i made via Pic Collage app from my phone:

people find it weird that my oso and i don't do the conventional valentine date during the 14th. as from previous post, we had ours on the 13th. but i guess, our relationship is not like anyone else's too.

i guess, our love is lovelier than any bouquet of flowers and sweeter than any chocolates. and with that in our hearts, we don't need to be fancy. plus, my oso is very dear. we can be cheesy just about any day. no occasion can tell him when to make me feel special. :)♥

valentine's day makes me realize how lucky i am to have him. that's that. :)

plus, who says i was not on the spirit of being corny that night? i was wearing these when i was with my girls:

beat that! :P

a lot of couples were staring at my shoes when they saw it. hah! that beat their roses and chocolates. :)) i had this custom made for me and my oso. lovely? ♥

and yes, oso and i saw each other that day. even for a while. i was on a mall before i met my friends.  he went there even if he needed more sleep that day before going to work. we saw each other in less than an hour but i felt the efforts of him giving me time. i love him all the more each day. ♥

kdrama love equals po suk jung XD

ok, i'll be blogging this before i get lazy.. :))

to be in the boat of heart's day, my oso and i celebrated the occasion a day early. why? well, we have been doing that ever since. beats me. XD

he took me to a restaurant in oranbo, pasig called Po Suk Jun Korean BBQ Restaurant.

why? well, he finally got into the craze of fan girling. :)) i love watching korean dramas and i got to pull him into the wagon. and because he loves me so, he let me taste a korean meal that i only see on the series i watch. how thoughtful of my oso, right? ♥

this is their menu. never had a chance to take a picture of the inside since i was busy ordering. XD

to start of, we had these for appetizers:

we didn't order the appetizers. they just gave this for free, hihi. i was actually surprised that they have things like this. who doesn't love free food? :))

i don't really now what the appetizers were each called. forgive me, i'm not a food blogger to get into details. food is food. and i name them the first time by taste. :)) and i can't even remember how this  tastes. :))

now this one, i remember. because amongst all the appetizers, i liked this best. it's seems to be pickled onions and radishes. ate the whole thing. i love it. the sauce is good garnish for the rice, hihi. :)
this was plenty when served. i ate most of it before i took pictures of our food. so disclaimer: most of the food featured here were eaten first. :))

kimchi. i loved the taste of the paste but since i'm not really a fan of the cabbage family, i ate only a few. but for kimchi loving foodies, i guess this is fine. :)

dilis. a sweet and salty mixture. liked it. :)

 

this came late. it's part of the appetizer as well. sweet potatoes on a sweet-salty sauce. love this too. they served this hot, yummier! :P~ they served four of these. i ate one before taking a photo. :))

for our main meal, we had these:

seng galbi. a non-marinated beef short ribs worth Php600.

 

yukgejang.a spicy beef soup worth Php 250.

in reality, these is how it looked like when serve to us:

pretty neat, huh? :D the meat was tender, nicely grilled outside --po suk jung has two dinning halls: one outside for do-it-yourself grillings and shabu-shabu and one inside, where we stayed. even if the beef was marinated, it was juicy. personally, i don't mind if it lacked seasoning. i loved it. :)

they also have marinated beef. but and i believe, non-marinated beef requires fresh meat since it will definitely rely on its freshness to be good. you're more sure of good meat non-marinated. :)

plus, it comes with these too:

i believe these are lettuces? correct me if i'm wrong, i'm not good with vegetables. :))
you can wrap the beef using these greens and then, you can also add these:

 

more greens and bean sprouts. yummy! :P~

and o, after wrapping the beef with the greens, you can deep it to these for flavor:

as per the waitress i asked, the red sauce is made out of bean paste and and clear one is of olive oil with salt and pepper. i loved the bean paste. :)

and these is the yukgejang! :)

i loved this the most! ♥ spicy hot pot soup on a rainy day, yum! :DD this has noodles which reminded me of sotanghon, mushrooms which tasted like beef, beef and vegetables --which i didn't mind knowing since the soup was awesome. :P~

the spiciness of the beef complemented the soup very much. it's like butter on a bread. good pair! :)

this will definitely be a regular order everytime i visit. :)

also had their iced tea. different from the regular ones i'm used to having. i've seen once, korean iced tea are sold on jars and looked liked jams, hihi. i don't know if this was of that kind. but i liked it since it was different. :)

i forgot how much was this but i think it was Php35 or Php 60? :))

my oso and i sure had a feast that night. the dinner was lovely. ♥

i personally commend the staff of po suk jung for being so friendly and accommodating. from the guard at the parking lot who offered us an umbrella even though we insisted we're fine without one to the lady server who tirelessly explained everything on the menu from my countless inquiries. the visit was lovelier because they served us well.

will definitely come back. :) i've already recommended this to friends.

hanggang saan ang isang daan? XD

i cannot remember the last time a p100 bill was well spent on my hand. :P yesterday, i get to savor the happiness a p100 bill can bring. o i miss simple things. they're often  the best there is. ♥

things i have done with my p100 bill: ate dinner --porksilog ftw!, gulp on a soda, jeepney fare home, ice cream --selecta cornetto :P~ and take home gummy candies for my nieces.

and i want to thank my oso for sponsoring me the money. :)) i was to go home when i realized i only have a p1,000 bill with me. my oso cannot break it so he gave me p100 instead, hohoho. i love free stuffs! maybe that's why i was so happy spending it yesterday? :P maybe. but either way, i'm happy. hihi. :D

small blessings

last night during my duty, i was a little uneasy due to the many pending work ahead of me. i was not really expecting that i would have a lot of tasks for that night. but, positively, it went in a breeze. there had been shortcomings but, it ended as soon as i decided to get it done.

my duty was worthwhile. :)

and a bonus, a sweet breakfast from a sweet man. :)

i love my oso. ♥

failed U5 blogging attempt XD

this is a late post.

a few days ago, i was trying if i can use my mobile phone to do random blogs. i was thinking that it would be easier that way. opening a laptop/pc is way less convenient than a mobile, right?

so i did try. but, to no avail. my phone can't!! :((

now i'm thinking if i need a phone that is more social. but, that would mean spending. and i can't spend. heartbreak. </3

so 'til that day comes, i'll settle for blogging my randomness thru how i know best.

and here's what i was to attempt blogging about the other day.

my oso purchased me a new book. :) he's really dear. i never fail to make him buy me things. :)) and i love him more because of that. =)) thank you, oso. ♥

i was eyeing on this for a few months already but i had never made it a priority book purchase. my reason for buying it? well, to support my fellow kababayan of course. woohoo! :)

i was thinking of having my feeling towards the book be written but i'm not yet sure about how i felt about it. so, that'll be another blog assignment. :))

also thinking that i only had 2 hours of sleep and is on a 12-hour duty, my mind is not in its best shape. so i'll be really skipping this today.

--reasons, reasons. reasons are given by lazy people. *bow*

:P
