on getting healthy

I've been on a diet for the past few weeks and it's effective, I think. I lost 4lbs. already so I guess it's a good sign to continue my 'healthy' living. So last night, I decided to make a 'healthy' bento.

I called it, Wei Xiao Bento (Smiling Bento)




On the first layer of the bento, I put some mixed fruits ( grapes, apples, pears, orange and pomelo )






On the second layer, I put some boiled young corns, lettuce and boiled quail eggs. I designed it to form a smiling face.





This is the second time I created a bento, and I think this one is better -- and healthier. I think I need to plan what's on my next bento, what do you think?

lost in translation ..

I went to a Korean store to buy an accessory. There stood by the counter is the Korean store owner around 25 to 30 years old. I approached him to pay the item and then gave him a 500-peso bill. The item is worth 125 php.

korean guy: ..... (*silence*)
me: .....
(* i rather suffer in silence type,observing what was he doing*)
korean guy: ...... (*searching for bills*)
me: .......
( *i assume he wanted to ask me if i had smaller bills, but still i waited for him to ask*)
korean guy: ......
(*still does not talk, maybe he can't speak english and then gave me the change*)
me: ...... (*i didn't speak either..*)

i counted the change silently, then found out that he gave me 380 instead
of 375.. then i assume he didn't have coins. so i placed the money in my wallet
and then finally i spoke...

me: kamsahamida.. *bow and then smile*
korean guy: ... oh... *amused...he finally smiles back and then bow*

Hahahahaha! The guy's expression was so priceless -- he was so amused that he couldn't imagine that i can actually speak Korean.. though i only said thank you... hahaha!
