Housewarming Party!

Thanks to those who came to our housewarming party. They brought gifts, too. Giving gifts to the host is typical for Koreans. One of the famous gifts is a roll of tissue paper. They believe that if you are gifted with a roll of tissue paper, your problems can easily be solved just like the tissue paper when you roll it out. Hence, we received these 30 rolls of tissue. It is good for a several months of supply. 20150712_064334[1]

Another one is a blender. Though it's not typical, but it is very useful. I've been meaning to buy this one even before but just couldn't get myself to buy one. The last one was a shoe rack. One of of our friends saw that our shoe rack was not enough for our shoes, so she bought another one. Yay!!! Gifts and blessings!

We prepared all Korean foods - tofu with kimchi, Pajeon, Makkgeolli, etc. I wasn't able to take a picture of those. I would love to share the Korean foods here. Well, next time in my future posts. In two weeks probably, it would be our turn to give since one of our friends will be moving out, and she gonna have a housewarming party, too.

Thoughts: 

When one moves in to a new place, it means new life, new neighborhood,and a new beginning. If it's a new beginning, sometimes, it's hard to get started. Not to mention the expenses that  come with it.  This kind of event somehow helps the person to get back on their feet.

Trip to Korea and Japan

Prologue:   The incident that happened last Feb 2013 haunts her every time she passes through immigration. The interrogation and the unfriendly faces of the immigration officers made her palms sweaty and heart racing. But, this doesn't stop her to see new horizons and experience foreign culture. All the more, her wanderlust grows even stronger after every trip. December 2015, she made up her mind to set foot in The Land of the Rising Sun. It has been her dream to visit Japan since five years ago. She told her friends that by the first quarter of 2016 she will have traveled the country of her students. She read many blogs about Japan tourist visa application. As soon as she received the ITR from the company, she wasted no time to prepare the rest of the documents. She submitted them to www.relitours.ph in SM Megamall. (Check out their site, and you will know the requirements needed.) This is one of agencies accredited by the Japanese embassy. FYI, the Japanese embassy does not accep...

Thoughts #1: What Should I Blog?

Image
I watched Julia and Julie while having lunch. Now, my desire to blog has come back. But I don't know what to blog. Actually, I have a blog on wordpress. If you want to check it out here's the address: mycoffeeshopstories.wordpress.com. I do have several posts there, but it has been quite awhile since the last time I posted. :(  I am also thinking of the title of my blog. For now I will use 'Wanders and Wonders.' I hope this will do for the meantime, but honestly I like it. I am just worried if the title would fit the content of my blog.  What do you think, guys? What should I blog? How often should I post? Please comment down below. I will appreciate your ideas. Happy reading!  That's all for today. Welcome to my first post on Blogger.  P.S.  Julia and Julie - a good movie for those who love cooking and writing. Check it out. :)  The image is not mine. I just grabbed it from google. CTO.

I Won and I Lost

Now, I know where to go to when I'm bored. Just head to PUZZLES, a board game cafe. It's just a few meters away from my place. It has so many games to choose from. The place is spacious but sometimes it gets too crowded just like last night. You can stay there and play the whole day for just 100 pesos each person. That's reasonable. Also, when you get hungry, they have delicious foods from fries to steak and rice. Also, they offer drinks - juice, coffee and tea. It's a perfect place for friends and family to have fun. [caption id="attachment_150" align="alignnone" width="225"] Scrabble - so serious thinking what word to make. Haha[/caption] One can determine the kind of person someone is by his attitude when he wins or when he loses. Have fun and  enjoy!!! Am going to visit there again with more friends.
