just scrolling down my blackberry calendar. stumbled upon february. 14th. and then started thinking about little romantic stuff (gross, huh?). which trailed onto thinking about 11/11, which is pepero day because 11/11 looks like pepero sticks. just thought to myself: i hope i meet my future husband and we’re dating by 11/11/11 so i can surprise him with loads of pepero sticks. when i’m single i’m not really the cutesy type… but i think it comes out when… necessary, haha. anyway, i’d also force him to share them with me… and eat more than half of it.
i want theeese pepero! not to make you all vomit, but blake’s and my anniversary also happens to be on 11/11.
Pepero day is coming up soon (November 11th)
I needa find me someone who’d buy me one of

i’ve already got 4 giant boxes…but i still need more…
DID YOU KNOW? of the day :)
That in Korea on November 11th that everybody celebrates Pepero or Pocky Day? haha. I find it kind of funny anywho here’s my BFF, Wikipedia’s take on this day,
PEPERO: The Korean (Lotte) take on the Pocky. It is a long thin cracker covered in chocolate, or any other varieties such as strawberry, nuts, etc.Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine’s Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date “11/11” resembles four sticks of Pepero.The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts. Lotte denies starting the holiday and instead states that they noticed a bump in Pepero sales around November 11th and after continued popularity they decided to then encourage the holiday with special gift boxes and other promotions. Some consider it to be a contrived holiday and some teachers have encouraged children to exchange healthy snacks to help combat obesity.
According to one story, Pepero Day was started in 1994 by students at a girls’ middle school in Busan, where they exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow “as tall and slender as a Pepero”.
Persimmon Season « gyopo wife
“Persimmons are in season now. There are three kinds at the market right now. The soft, mushy ones are called yun-shi/연시. The crunchy, squat ones are called dahn-gahm/단감. And the conical ones that need to ripen like an avocado are called hong-shi/홍시.”
The article includes a recipe for Molten Lava Persimmon Cake…too bad i don’t have access to an oven.

GMarket Fail.
sigh.
What happened? This make me sad! G-Market is the greatest! Although it is hard to use and the only reason I can order things by myself is because I memorized what information goes where.
the pants i ordered didn’t fit! but i should have known better. I’m definitely placing a new order this weekend for some 15,000won awesome jackets…the prices….I’m terribly addicted.
Happy Homecoming weekend! Go Dawgs!
