I lost two kilos in two weeks

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 10 Mar

To say that this job is hard is an understatement. Children are very chaotic and hard to control. One section almost turned my room upside down. The manager is micromanaging. But I understand because I am a newbie. Every day she...

Hi, everyone! It's a rainy Monday here on my end. Today is a holiday, but it is gloomy. We decided to stay home as my daughter is also under the weather. Tomorrow is her first day of school after two months of winter break....

Cheap Fashion

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 21 Feb

I bought this pair of cute earrings for 5usd. The size is not too big and not too small either. I prefer wearing plain color clothes and most of them are earth tones. I don't like large prints so I choose wearing a statement...

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 18 Feb

While mindlessly scrolling over Facebook, I chanced upon a post about an Art Exhibit at a museum downtown. I asked my husband if he could take me and our daughter there. Luckily, he agreed and happily joined in. Since my...

For Potluck

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 16 Feb

I cooked and shared these dishes yesterday. It was our first lunch with the new priest and the last day of one Columban missionary. I was glad they liked it. Usually, the other church members bring pork and pastries. I thought...

Wish Me Luck

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 25 Jan

Wow! Time flies by so fast. I did not notice that I was not here for 3 days. A few days ago, I received a message from a fellow asking if I would like to try working as a Kindergarten assistant. I told her I would not think twice...

vintage chest drawer

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 21 Jan

I have a thing for vintage items. I saw this gorgeous vintage drawer chest. But the price is over 200,000 Korean Won. It is made of real wood. I am thinking of buying it, however, it is a bit expensive.

Tiktok is Back!

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 19 Jan

I am sure a lot of people in the US are relieved. I wonder if this is permanent. The shortlived ban is reminiscent of the temporary martial law in Korea last month. I was speechless when the Korean president announced martial in...

Curious Kid

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 19 Jan

She wanted to try if she could fit in the luggage. Kids are always curious. My daughter once tried if she could cook crayons when she was six years old. I guess she wanted to repurpose them. That's why I do not allow her...

What is your Pet Peeves at Home?

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 19 Jan

I want only food on the table; it irks me to see non-edibles. Of course, utensils, plates, and glasses are exempted. It may sound exaggerated, but I get goosebumps when I see socks (even clean pairs), an egg tray, or a grocery...

Blessing

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 18 Jan

Unexpected blessing. I told my husband two days ago that we were running out of rice. Although, both of us do not regularly eat rice, we still needed to buy because our daughter loves eating ride porridge in the morning at least...

Train Restaurant

The First Book Given to Me Last Christmas

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5308) 9 Jan

I received this timely Christmas present from a priest. Last year, I wrote that I was ganged up by my compatriots. I've been having a hard time moving forward. Forgiving does not come easy especially when you know that you are...
