Buhay sa Korea

I got curious seeing the phrase 엽기 요구르트아줌마 (yupgi yogurt ajumma) as the top search in Daum. “Yupgi” means weird or strange (the original korean title of Jeon Ji Hyun’s movie “My Sassy Girl” has this word) and ajumma, a married woman. When I clicked on one of the uploaded ucc’s, I found out what the fuss is all about. The “yupgi yogurt ajumma” has a refrigerator full of yogurt and adds the dairy on everything she eats, even samgyeopsal (unseasoned bacon). She used to wear a size 36 pants but she looks really fit now. Curious? Here’s the “yupgi yogurt ajumma”:

I miss my old camera - a Konica Minolta DiMAGE G400. It isn’t as nice feature-wise compared to my new one but I can always depend on it with its small size and “lightning fast” power on…

I had a hard time thinking of a topic for this week’s Litratong Pinoy: Balingkinitan theme. So I turned to my old stocks of photos and found these:

Some say that alcohol has a “disinhibiting effect” and it helps people loosen up.

Picture was taken on a trip to Mungyeong in Gyeongsangbuk-do. A bottle is 8,000 won (US$ 8). Not that pricey considering you’re also getting a smiling ceramic dildo ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

According to Wiki: An outpatient is a patient who is not hospitalized overnight but who visits a hospital, clinic, or associated facility for diagnosis or treatment.

There’s another definition of “outpatient” here… as illustrated by the images below:

Technomad also has a picture of an “outpatient” taking a smoking break.

One may not believe it but there are coconut trees in Korea. They come complete with the coconut and in different colors too (orange, green, pink, purple). I first saw those trees in Chuncheon in Gangwon-do. I thought it was because of summer that they use them for decoration. They are not just “eyecandies” but they are used as outdoor lighting. Clever? Tacky? Cute? I snapped two while we were on the road.

This is one of the reasons why one should get implants…
