Cooking 101

Image
When I was kid, I never liked kitchen. I never liked cooking, but I like eating! Growing up away from the kitchen, since we have elders to cook for our food, I never thought it will be a rough road for me learning kitchen activities.  I know how to cook rice, cook some fried foods. As much as I want to cook some of my favorite Filipino food, oh no, I think that would means a LOT!! Ha-ha I remember my sister and I was watching Sineskwela, (that was a decade ago or so), we tried to cook a burger patty out of banana blossom (“puso ng saging”). It was fun! Since then, my sister became our kitchen’s best friend. Now that I am old enough to be friends with our kitchen, I’m still having some fear to cook the food that I like. Well, this isn’t about cooking lesson though. Since I am expose to Korean culture, language and the likes, one of my hobby these past few months was to cook some “kimbap” and to eat “kimchi” and other Korean foods! I’ve tried to make kimbap.

February 2011 is our Third Month

How can I forget 12th day of the month? It's the day that Coco asked me "Can you be my girlfriend?" He even asked me what's the difference of  "Yes, I will" and "Yes, I do." Well, I just answered the YES, I WILL. Still praying for the YES, I DO ♥♥♥ February 12, 2011 It's our third month together. (funny, it seems like years!) We love eating so we just had our dinner at The Real Thing Diner. Oh, the crew remembered me already! haha! (we went there with some Korean buddies and with my co teachers too) She remembered me and my bangs! :) Oh, how can I forget that day! (I'm starting to have a forgetful mind) Again, I didn't take a photo of the food that we ordered.      THE REAL THING DINER il terrazo, tomas morato

"Happy Pepero Day class!" "How many Pepero boxes did you receive?" "Did you receive Pepero from your crush?♥" "Did you give Pepero to your teacher?" ( http://www.recess.ufl.edu/transcripts/2006/1109.shtml ) Relationships and love are not taken lightly in South Korea. There are over twenty holidays devoted to celebrating one's affections for family, friends, and beloveds. For starters, the 14th of each month is set aside for sweethearts. Also, just as in North America, Valentine's Day is celebrated in South Korea, but with a slight variation on the tradition. Only the women give gifts on Valentine’s Day. To balance this out there is "White Day" one month later when men take their turn giving gifts. This is one of the many holidays that have been named after a color with "Black Day," "Silver Day," "Green Day, “and "Yellow Day" dotting the South Korean calendar. November 11th is one of these sp...
