Korean Coolers

Today, our little brother celebrated his birthday at home. Everything was doing okay,  not until the obvious was  so pronounced when everyone wanted something really cool to melt the heat away. So Auntie Vicky sent us to buy Korean Coolers at the Korean Mart across West City Central, it was like a crazy trip to Korea itself,  cramped up in the vehicle, we still managed to smile, lol.. The two ladies at the shop are Koreans, one older and another, younger. At first they were both serious looking and the the older woman was cross. I think she was bothered because  we took lots and lots of pictures with our Asian pose, just like the pictures you see here. They didn't accept credit cards so Manong Ondo had to be sent there for financial rescue, lol.. So while waiting for him, I  took the liberty of buying the coolers below:

Melon: Pinky,
Pinipig taste-alike: Honey, 

Ice cream Sandwich: Mine,
Fish shaped Ice cream Sandwich: Sweet

All four cost me P 210.0, but I can not tell you the price for each as I forgot to ask. All I know is that 3 items  cost P 55 each and 1 is for P 45, I just do not know which exactly..

Kyna took the photos since she did not want to eat while there. But when we reached home, she ate the drumstick look alike (P 75.00) but is thinner than our usual drumstick here in the Philippines.

All the rest of the people enjoyed the Korean Coolers too.

That's just 1 basket, shown twice to show you what P 1070 allowed us to get.

See the bag I am holding? That's their special bag to keep our frozen delights from melting once sealed while in transport. That is why, when we reached home, and everyone reached out for his or her share of the treat, each item is still good as when we took them from the Korean Mart's freezer.

Thanks to Auntie Vicky for the treat. It was a different way to cool the heat..

I also bought a liter of  Tomato Juice (P 180) and 2 bottles of Rice wine (P 85 each) to sample.

Herbs, Spices & Poultry

I love this window box. It's wide enough to hold such marvelous wonderment. I wish all window boxes are like that. I saw this online while browsing for window boxes planters because Carmz and I are planning to plant our own organic herbs and spices. Such garden window boxes would perfectly look great outside hanging by the kitchen window. Besides that, it is the safest place to plant herbs and spices as they do not require so much heat and sunshine while hanging there, compared to planting them in the front yard. Of course, most window boxes are usually seen with plants or flowers, that is why when we search for them offline or online, they can always be found using the keywords, window flower boxes or window plant boxes. And again, that is just what I was doing earlier. 

Now with all these herbs and spices and the chickens we plan to raise, we can already have our own organic feast at home. No more "Magic Sarap"? Well, that would be much healthier and affordable for we do not need to buy them anymore. Wow! That is such an amazing plan. No wonder my father is very much supportive of it. 

I think, if all of us will raise our own poultry or grow our own vegetable garden and organic herbs and spices, this world will be simpler and more livable.. I can't wait to start our plan.
