Omg you should try this one if you are in Korea!
I spotted this at the convenience store. 
This is the new flavor of 꼬북칩 and 2025 limited snack.
But I guess it may keep being released.
This is fried chicken flavor 후라이드치킨맛!! There was also 양념치킨맛. I will try that one too!🍗🍗


My favorite snack is in the second photo.
They're sweet chestnuts! If you like chestnuts, you gotta like them. You can find this at the convenience store as well. 🌰🌰

## 2. 8/25/2025

How's the weather there? 
It was rainy... i would say it was almost pouring this morning, but in the afternoon, the sky turned blue 💙
In Korean, 비가 너무 쏟아져서 하늘에 구멍이 난 줄 알았어요ㅋㅋㅋ


I'm planning to go to China for trip in November.. (or not😝idk yet)
what should i do, eat and try? Lol and where should i go?
When I visited China for business trip, i had hotpot and it was the best meal among what i ate there.
Last two photos were taken at the hotpot restaurant!
Idk why my boss took a pics of me everytime🧐🤣🤣
Btw, Can i say it's also restaurant? It was located outside 🤨

Anyway have a good day 🌸✨💙

## 4. 8/23/2025

I copy a book by hand. 
I was struggling to find and define who I am.
Now I realize that I don't need to find the meaning anymore. No matter what I do, what I  like and where I am, I am me and this is enough.

I'm not a bookworm so it is a little hard to read english books. I've been wanting to read just a couple of pages of english book. That's why I'm sharing a single page of what I read today. 

Have a good day y‘all!

## 5. 8/21/2025

This is my go-to at the convenience store in summer ☺️

붉달 was a little bit spicy for me.
I needed something to cool me down.
So I had 팥빙수 :)
I would say this is red bean shaved ice with rice cake on the top!
Korean never eat this by itself.
You need to poor some milk in it.
When the ice gets melt by milk, mix it all together!
Then enjoy your 팥빙수 🍧🍨

I wonder if you've tried this or not!

Hey guys!
I styled my hair with curling iron 😜.
The cafe i went this afternoon was so cute. There were a lot of kinds of lego flowers. It was so adorable and will never fall so I wanna get them too🥹🧐🧐💐💐

What i ordered was the signature coffee of this cafe. The shaved espresso ice on the top of the latte. It was good 👍 

Looks like today's theme is color green? 💚
What's your favorite color and why?
And guess what my favorite color is hhh.
(Hint : not green)

## 7. 8/12/2025

언어를 배우다 보면 지칠 때가 있잖아요. 저만 그런가요? ㅜㅜ
저는 영어를 배우고 실제로 사용하는 것이 재미있어서 공부하게 되었는데, 일하면서도 영어를 해야하고 이제는 잘 해야한다는 압박과 부담이 생겨서 점점 재미를 잃어가고 있어요.
그래서 사실 친구들과 영어로 대화하는 것이 마냥 즐겁지만은 않을 때가 있어요. 한국말보다 편하지 않고 어려우니까요. 제가 답변을 꼬박꼬박 하지 못해도 이해해주면 감사하겠습니다 🥺 
영어가 안 늘어서 요즘 힘들어요 ㅠㅠ

Sometime I get tired of learning language.
It happens only to me?🥲
Actually Learning English is fun and it's like a challenge for me, so I started studying english by myself a year ago. But now I feel pressure to learn it. I have to become fluent in English because I have to use English at work. 
Also It's been a year since I started learning but I couldn't see my growth.

So this is what I want to say, from this reason, sometimes even having a casual conversation with friends in english can be hard for me. It's not you but the language problem. (Or my problem😂) So I need you to understand me even if I reply barely... this is one of the ways to protect my mental health 🥲

Well, today I'm not posting my daily journal but I'm done it! And .. I know if I don't upload photos then people wouldn't see my post lol so I post with random photos.

Have a good day everyone!♥️

Omg the weather is soooo good ♥️
Apparently in summer, Korea is so humid that it's even hard to breathe 🙂‍↕️ but these days it's just perfect 👌 

I heard of a lot of people in here are planning to visit Korea from the September, the weather will be better than now ! Hope you have great days in Korea soon <3

I started new coloring. What do you think it will be?

No wonder I felt a bit uncomfortable... this🦖사마귀 was staring at me... it was a bit scary so i couldn't get close to that.. green thing. Lol

How was your day been? ❤️ tell me on the comments, what's new for you? 😝

## 9. 8/9/2025

Such a wonderful day :)

I love wearing hats and this is today's hat 😌 I'm a sort of hats collector! So i'd love to see your hat if you have special hats. 🥰
저는 모자 쓰는 것을 좋아해요.
저는 모자를 모아요 ㅎㅎㅎ 만약 특별하거나 특이한 모자가 있으면 저에게 보여주세요~

I noticed people who've visited Korea really missed Korean cafes. So I was going to take some pics for you guys but I was working and forgot it 😮‍💨 also I dropped my last bite of cake on my laptop lol 
저는 한국 여행을 했던 분들이 한국 카페들을 그리워한다는 것을 알게되었어요. 그래서 오늘 카페 사진을 많이 찍어 보려고 했는데 일 하느라 까먹었어요 ㅠㅠ 게다가 노트북에는 마지막 한 입을 흘렸답니다...

I bought a toy(?). I do like make something with my hands and I can say I'm good at this 😎 What I bought is "mini cake keyrings making pakage". Can't wait to try this (honestly i can wait lol) 
장난감도 샀어요. 저는 손으로 만드는 것을 좋아하고 사실은 좀 잘 해요 ㅋㅋ 빨리 해보고싶네요~

The weather was perfect as well👌 the sky looks beautiful and clear, so blueeeee.
I usually spend entire day indoor during the weekend, but I realized that stepping outside alone is the cheapest way to get bliss 🥳
날씨도 너무너무 좋았던 날~ 하늘이 맑고 예뻤어요. 저는 휴일에 집에서 쉬는걸 좋아하는데 오늘 혼자 밖에 나가는게 얼마나 좋은 일인지 깨달았답니다.

I saw Marilyn monroe cat 🐈‍⬛.
Can you assume why I call this cat Marilyn monroe? 😂
마릴린먼로 냥이 ㅋㅋㅋ 왜 마릴린먼로게요~?

## 10. 8/8/2025

Have you tried 칼국수?
It's one of my fav food in Korea.
I don't even explain what taste is like but I highly recommend it.

If you find 찐맛집 of 칼국수, they will serve 보리밥 before 칼국수! 𖤐 This is the real deal!!𖤐

All you need to do is having 보리밥 with 열무김치 and 고추장, waiting for 칼국수!

The traditional 칼국수 restaurant make noodles from A to Z, so the shapes of noodles look different and you can call this 손칼국수 which means hand made 칼국수 noodles.

Koreans may eat 김치 every bite of noodles🤣

## 11. 8/6/2025

When I went on a business trip to China, our clients brought me to the strawberry farm. 
Isn't it so nice🤣? They put the farm work schedule between real works!
It was in winter but inside was super warm so i didn't need to wear a coat.

I could try strawberries immediately, it was really sweet and juicy. Can't forget how amazing it was 🙂‍↕️

In summer, now I'm having strawberry chips🥹 hope strawberry season is coming fast 💨 🍓🍓🍓

중국으로 출장을 갔을 때, 고객사가 우리를 딸기농장에 데려갔어요. 완전 짱이죠?? 그 분들이
진짜 업무들 사이에 딸기 농장 스케줄을 넣은거에요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
이때 겨울이었는데 비닐하우스 내부는 너무 따듯해서 겉옷을 걸칠 필요가 없었어요.

딸기는 따자마자 바로 먹을 수 있었는데 정말 달고 수분이 많았어요. 얼마나 맛있었는지 잊을 수가 없어요 ㅎㅎ

여름인 지금은 딸기칩을 먹고 있어요. 빨리 딸기의 계절이 오길 !🥰

## 12. 8/5/2025

Here are my recommendations!

The lyrics of this song is written in only Korean. So if l were a Korean learner, I would practice listening with this song. 
This song is kinda old K-pop so it can be a bit awkward(or strange?) for you but I do love this song. 
It is telling about love and loss. So you might be able to sympathize with this song.😌
This song was love a lot so there's a few remake songs. I think those are more familiar to listen to.
Original song: by 샵
Remake: by 조이, 서동현

I'm having this gummy listening to this song!
It looks too cute to eat but... it tastes good as much as it's cute 🐧

## 13. 8/4/2025

This is the way I store my leftover snacks.
I'm not sure if this is well known only in Korea, anyway this is really useful! 

My portion is not that big so I always fail to eat all of snacks at one time.
If you fold the bag like this, you can keep snacks crispy at least for a week.

Did you know about this method ??🧐

I guess I made more mistakes than usual, please correct mine 🙈

이것은 제가 과자를 보관하는 방법입니다. 한국에서만 잘 알려진 것인지 잘 모르겠지만 이 방법은 정말 유용해요.

먹는 양이 많지 않기때문에 항상 과자를 남기는데, 이 방법대로 과자를 접으면 적어도 일주일은 과자를 바삭하게 보관할 수 있어요.

이 방법을 알고계셨나요?

## 14. 8/2/2025

It's been a while since I post my diary on the moment.
As I told you before, I was busy at work for a while 😮‍💨
모먼트에 일기 안 올린지 너무 오래됐다! 전에 말했듯이 너무 바빴어요 ㅠㅠ

I ordered matcha latte without syrup at Starbucks... 
Have you ever tried this recipe?
This is just my opinion, never take out syrup when you have matcha latte 🤢🤣
It was too 쓰고 떫었어요 ...
스벅에서 말차라떼 시럽 빼고 시켰는데...
이렇게 먹어본 적 있어요?ㅋㅋㅋ
개인적으론 절대 시럽 빼지마세요 너무 쓰고 떫은맛이 났어요..

When I have coffee, I usually go with latte without syrup because I don't enjoy sweet coffee or beverages but this matcha makes me to admire extra syrup at the moment. 
커피 마실때도 보통 단거 안좋아해서 시럽 없는 카페라떼만 먹는데 이 말차 먹으니까시럽이 완전 땡기더라구요 ㅋㅋ

What do you usually have at the cafe?
And what's your recipe of matcha latte?
카페 가면 뭐 드세요? 그리고 말차라떼 최애 레시피가 뭐에요??

## 15. 7/22/2025

Did you realize that I'm very trying to post one moment a day? 😀🌹

Here is the spot where I like so much.
I can easily find a bunch of roses on the street or at someone's house in May.
Isn't it so amazing?
Roses are not my favorite but who doesn't like roses?🌹 

My favorite flower is the pink daisy.
As far as I konw, there are two kind of daisy.
You can find daisy at the top right of the third picture.
The reason that I love daisy is they look fluffy and lovely! Like a fluffy balls 🧶

What is your favorite flower ?

Are you a morning person or a night person?
I am a night night night person 😜
I like to stay up late even though I feel so tired. I know it's a very bad habit, but... it feels like a freedom 🤣
Everyone is sleeping so no one can bother me 😏 Also at night, it's more quiet and relaxing than morning.
I need to fight with sleepiness every morning but can't stop going to bed late 😵

## 17. 7/19/2025

When I visited Okinawa, I saw a lot of vending machines on the street.
I didn't know how should I call this in English.
In Korean, it is called "자판기“ and it means "자동 판매 기계“. So I thought its English name should be "Auto selling machine" 😅
Yeah I know how to call it, Vending machine.🤭
I also searched why there are so many vending machines on the street in Japan, but... it's kinda hard to write down because of my bad English😜

Have you ever seen green fried chicken? 
This is one of my favorites. It tastes like green pepper and mayo. It’s creamy and a little bit spicy.

Which flavor do you want to try?

I wanna share my works🙂
I don't know you can find this in your country,
in Korea, we just call like drawings or pipo paintings.
there is sketch with numbers, and all you need to do is finding same number out of the paints. 
I've painted after work and it took more than 2 week for bigger one. Smaller one only requires a couple of days.
It is so easy and fun. I think absolutly it can be a good hobby to everyone.
