Massage

2010-10-23T23:13:00.000+02:00

   My skin is too dry lately. Maybe because of the wind from near winter or a bit high temperature of
   our room, whatever I needed moisturizing. So I found very simple and cheap way to do it.
Luckily, in our refrigerator , There was a cucumber.
Carefully sliced very thin, put on the face, wait some time to get the moisture. This is all the process.
Tomorrow , I will try to make more complicated massage way for my dry skin.
  Well, It is kind of having fun :)

MEMORY. Chapter2

We are together almost 3 years already. Everytime We tried to make special memory, but hard to get a chance

cause we were apart from each other so long and difficult to meet good weather for the picture.

You know It is Amsterdam :)

Today when we woke up, Finally Graceful weather of Amsterdam makes us to go to forest.

We sang " It's beautiful day, The sun is shining no one can stop me now "

Our beautiful memory was filled in the forest and our mind.

Strawberry

2010-09-30T21:41:00.003+02:00

Winter has come in Netherlands. As you know, the winter in Netherlands is very gloomy and dark.
So, I choose the cooking way as much as colorful. Cause I believe the fact which can make person's feeling better
when they eat good colored food.

After dinner time, I prepared some of strawberry as a desert.
Well, Fresh strawberry color which usually comes out during winter time is very RED.
It makes me to remember hot summer days.
They appear red through the cold wind and hope to be a precious sweet memory for someone.
Even strawberry knows how to struggle gloomy winter.
So, I am dreaming to be a sweet memory like strawberry.
I will be very RED for me and you :)

Apricot flower

I just wanted to feel the spring and Yeah, It was there already.

You don't need to do something in this place.

Just feel the air with your heart and draw what you see in your memory.

Standing . That was all I had done to feel the spring.

The spring has come again ,Flowers blossoms and happy to have warmth in my heart.

Isn't it fantastic to have spring in your life?

Like a flower, our life will blossom in SPRING

Her nickname is anne (anne of green gables). lovely :)

There are four symbol plants which appear spirit of scholars.

This flower is the first symbol for that. Because It blossoms in very early spring.
Even though it is still cold , The flower just doesn't care about that and does what it needs to do.
If you look closer, you can feel the integrity of this flower.

One of my dream is an author.

To be an author can be long way to go for me.

So, I just decided to step one by one.

The easiest thing first.

Classic table

Vintage books

Hand writing paper

Yes, I just wanna make author's room first.

A good environment for emotion is very important, isn't it? :)

My husband absolutely supports my dream.

But I don't know he will like this idea or not :)

Well, This is proof that I need to go long way for my dream. :)

A CAT

I visited my friend. She is the owner of a beautiful pansion.

On that day, It was really special cause she finally have a cat as she wanted always before.

Usually I am a mother of four dogs_(not anymore )_

That is the reason why I didn't have chance to touch a cat and don't know about them.

How was it? Well, It was really unique experience. Their smooth and arrogant moving was amazing.

I think A cat knows how they can be attractive.

Look, Can you feel freedom of him in the picture? That is a cat.

Don't want to be a pet, but wanting attention :)

2010-02-18T14:37:00.000+01:00

Orange Squash VS Strawberry Squash

Everytime, when I am in the cafe and the moment when I get the menu on my hands,

I hesitate which one I can take. And if there is a friend who can pick the one that I want to taste ,

That is the best option. :)

OH !!

if there can be various shape of sugar, coffee taste will be better than square one.

2010-02-01T15:56:00.000+01:00

What am I doing? I am trying to be a noble woman. Even though Books what I read are not that serious ,
I love to read something which I can get knowledge for anything else.
"My life in france" is a model book for my new life in Amsterdam.When I saw the movie "julie and julia" , every scene made my heart beat (also unluckily I really need to eat something) and It based on this book.

There is really big difference between staying in other country as a traveller and as a habitant.
She showed the way to grow up in a new soil and It was really successful as her broad voice.
Well, I didn't finish this book yet, but I already fall in love with her life.
Even I found things in common between us. Love to cook and having a lovely husband. haha

When I finish the book, There is big chance to buy her cooking book " Mastering the art of french cooking"
I already bought simple cooking book in korean hehe, am I too much ? :)

2010-01-29T11:28:00.003+01:00

For a long time , I was tring to find a bread which will not be influenced for my weight control, also easy to bake it.

And I think that I found it.This bread name is "focaccia ". No better, No sugar bread.

Still, there is a danger from flour. But it is a lot less than muffins or cakes.

Actually, the original way to make this bread is not too simple as I think but I took an abridged way.

Also,With lovely herb smell, you can enjoy happy baking time.

2010-01-27T07:36:00.002+01:00

I catch a cold. All the same, just enjoying warmth of blanket with hot tea is great.

Also, A homebaking habit gives me lots of pleasure as I can not understand some people who really likes being outside always. Well, but such a person like me also enjoys the tour for finding comfortable cafe.

I think the reason why I catch a cold also because of the tour for that.

A windy day, my friends group wanna visit unique cafe in hyo-ja dong, seoul , constantly we objected about the weather

" how the weather can be cold like this,ALMOST everytime we wanna do something!!!"

Even though the warmth of the tea was impressive, I didn't know that I need to pay with a flu :(

Those are some pictures that I took in the cafe we visited.

Yes. It was really nice place that I need to pay with a flu :)

L'atelier doux

natural casual cafe + restaurant

This is a cafe where we can sew without any tension for staying a long time.

Finally, when we find out this shop, we didn't expect this comfortable mood

but soon, we could realize why.

The cafe owner made this shop for people who loves sewing..

if you visit this place, you can see lots of things that the owner made.

http://www.atelierdoux.co.kr/zbxe/index

Oh, and the coffee was unlimited . They refilled again and again until when we went out.

What a surprise !!!

Today, I made a case for something. It was really small things to make in 4~5 hours

Even I don't know where I can use it for.

★

Anyway, I am so falling in love with sewing.

2010-01-15T03:02:00.000+01:00

de A L A S K A

in Sinsa-dong Seoul

In really cold weather, de Alaska is a good match to visit.
Even though the name represents coldness, Actually this is a bakery cafe with warmness.
My friends said that this is really famous for amazing taste of bread.
Unless you visit this place late night, you should feel the reason why people loves this place.
Well, I need to go this bakery again cause I was the one who was really late for tasting amazing breads.
When I finally realize the reason, I will post about it!

Window Shopping

I do like shopping even though I am not too feminine person, this fact prove that I am a real woman.

At least for my hus, it is good proof to have me as a wife :).

Anyway, I went some kind of department store for a window shopping.

Everytime, I told him "This is just a window shopping" but I think that he knows there is really big possibility that I should pick something up with twinkle eyes. And I really appreciate him to act like he believe what I said.

When I was in Netherlands for the first time, especially lingerie section was kind of culture shock to me.

Umm, I didn't know there is some species who has big big size . I know it is kind of obsession and envious view as an asian, but still. Amazing! As you see, I wanted to show this amazing size to my korean friends, so I took a picture :) Please don't misunderstand me. It is an offensive joke!!

Yes, I will improve it. Promise ;)

2010-01-09T15:54:00.000+01:00

I think that real winter has come in Korea.

Today ,Lots of snow fell down again.

I just planed to go out today cause I heard the news that said " Today will be warmer than before"

I really want that the weathercast is right. Then I don't need to freeze like today. :)

So, I just stayed with my friend in the cafe with really warm cappuchino.

It was the best choice for today

2010-01-07T08:18:00.001+01:00

Amsterdam Fashion Report

Usually, I am an editor for a fashion magazine in korea. These pictures are taken for vogue girl korea as an article about street fashion in Amsterdam. As you know, Amsterdam is not famous for fashion, but you can meet unique fashion people here. What is unique? Ok , Here it is!

Sometimes when I swim in the cyber sea, I can find out lots of street fashion blogs in every country.Yes, those are absolutely beautiful, I agree with that. But did you notice that so many fashion people on the blogs wear at least one luxury item from designer brand? Well, I am not a person who doesn't like luxurious things and if I have some money for that, I love to buy it as well.

But It is too bad that people focus on luxurious brands too much even though it can not show who you are.

In Amsterdam, people just make their style without a brand tag on the clothes, nobody cares about it. I think that is real fashionI think that is real fashion people.

2010-01-05T14:42:00.000+01:00

BASIC SKIRT ★

Even though the weather is cold, I wanna make a skirt with floral pattern.

Floral pattern is not something for the spring only, isn't it?

Anyway,I didn't know how to make a skirt, only thing that I know was really small information from one lecture that I attended long time ago. First, I need to find out skirt pattern on the internet.

As you know, you can find out almost every information in cyber world. So I got it easily!

It took 5 hours because I needed to sew by hand.

Finally when I finished all of my work, I was really satisfied with beautiful skirt.

Although I got lots of pain on my shoulder and fingers, I think I will try another in thenear future.

2010-01-04T15:57:00.013+01:00

Today, it snowed heavily in Seoul.
The News said that it is a new record in the century.
It looked like a christmas again.
I was really excited like a puppy, so I went out immidiately
to make a foot print on the snow.

Everything was stopped because of the heavy snow.
Airplanes,ships,even cars.
I enjoyed the moment without noise from the developed world.
Maybe when the earth began, it should be same as today I think.

The funny thing is that there was a report about skiing or snowboarding in the city center. Maybe they thought that it should be fast and easier to move somewhere and I totally agree with them :)
Maybe tomorrow there can be a person who enjoys ice skating on the road. haha

The scenes of snow

Making a hat

Do you know a fairy tale "Red riding hood". I wanted to make a cute hat like the leading girl in the story.

Unfortunately I didn't have red cloth ,so I decided to make a hat with natural colored.

I think that I can wear this hat when I ride a bike.

If I put some flowers on the basket in front of my bike, that will be great! isn't it?

Oh, I need to look for some clothes which can be a good match with this hat now!! :)

   Last day of this year

          How was 2009 to you? Everytime, when I face THE LAST DAY ,
        I regret lots of things what I did as usual.

       Let's make a better life . Happy new year!!!

2009-12-31T08:21:00.002+01:00

I love this place. The whole concept for this house is vintage.
All items have different character, shape and matter but the harmony is amazing.
Especially, natural furnitures are designed for comfort, I think.

Vintage cars or aeroplanes are old
but are admired
because they are considered to be the best of their kind.

2009-12-29T15:42:00.001+01:00

The sleepless night in Seoul

This is a street in Seoul which is famous for fashion.
I like to take a walk along the street at night .
Usually This is really busy with people but at night , The sensibility of the street keeps my composure.
Maybe people who were here have left their sentiment for me.

Accessoryholic

Hair pin / Rings / Bracelet.

Being girlish is a concept for my hus :)

well, it is my favorite style, too.

Being girlish is a dream for girls in the world .

Even though the fashion designer emphasize sexyness on their runway these days.

Well, sexual attraction is also a factor for being a fashionable person

but you can not deny the fact that your heart beats faster when you see the looks of lovely girls

For the New year's party

I want to use this big ribbon on my hair.

well, It can be too much, depending on which one you wear,

I will wear a black simple dress with pure make up tone so It will be safe for entire look.

if you have some objection about this look

please give me wise advise.

2009-12-29T09:47:00.001+01:00

Today, I had a meeting with university students in korea who want to know about Netherlands.

Well, even though I don' have too many things that I can tell ,

sharing experiences is awesome!

I want to look younger than my actual age _if it is possible:)

so light make up and easy look dressed up was good choice for that.

This feather hair band was a present from my friend for my birthday

When I got this, I didn't think that it will fit on normal look

but,I was wrong.

I am enjoying to wear this beautiful band, lately.

Even though your look is normal,

With a point accessory,you can be fabulous!!

SWEET DREAM

Busy season is over

Sometimes, It is hard to get off from the season.

It seems like a sweet dream what I never want to wake up from

2009-12-28T07:42:00.004+01:00

First snow

My world is white in snow.

If I was brave enough, I should go out to touch snow crystal,

But The degree was - 10℃.

There is long way to be a romactic person:)

Dinner for the first Snow

But in same time, I am not a person who doesn't know mood, either, So as a celebration, my mom and I try to make fabulous dinner on our dining table for the first snow.
The menu were fried shrimps and cajun chiken salad. Ofcourse The taste was amazing :)
I think this foods gave me some courage to go out.

It was after 12am ,Nobody was there, very calm .. feels like I am a only person who exists in this world.
A sense of walking on the snow and sound were there.
A winter without snow can not be beautiful, I think.

2009-12-27T08:18:00.004+01:00

Few days are left in this year .It reminds me lots of fireworks last year in Netherlands.
Some people say it is dangerous, but to me it was beautiful memory that I didn't have experienced before.
On the bridge, With fireworks ,We greeted the new year. Isn't it romantic?

This film was made by me :) Enjoy !

Second Christmas

I wish you a merry christmas

with Santa claus in Netherlands

Do you ever hear about the sinterklaas?

It is dutch traditional character, also original form of santaclaus.

He has his own celebration in 5 of December.

I think this holiday in Netherlands is a lot bigger than international christmas day.

Why?

On the sinterklaas dag, finally dutch's purse are open! hehe

well, my husband will complain this comment :)

+it is really really a joke+

Anyway, One month before, Sinterklaas arrive to each harbor in Netherlands,

Almost all the kindergarten children have welcome ceremony.

The funny thing is here.

According to catholic belief, A person's death is the beginning of new life.

so, actual siterklaas day (6.december) is the death day of him.

But dutch was worried that they can not get the present cause he will die,

That is why dutch celebrate his new birthday on 5 of December :)

This big day in Netherlands is also a family day.

Every house holder will share the present like manitto game,

and give some funny greeting with poem for their manitto.

If you want to share initial chocolate with present

please be my manitto with handwriting mail.

Let's try this next year!!

Merry christmas again!

A m s t e r d a m

Normally, Visitor in Amsterdam can face to face with gloomy weather,

Full of clouds in the sky and rain.

those things can be a cause of anxiety during a journey

but, it can be extraordinary scene.

First impression of holland was not different to me.

Even the winter comes with the rainy season when I arrived,

furthermore I don't know what I can do in this new soil.

I was really frustrated.

But in same time

that was a big chance to think about myself and my life.

I never really considered it seriously cause I thought the life is living, not making.

I have been overlooked the fact that can be changed if I try really hard what I want.

Every single event has two side of sight.

if you keep balance of both way,

it will give you keen eye for the future.

so, Now

I need to ask myself on my first page of new life.

" what do I really wanna to do?"

2009-12-26T04:33:00.013+01:00

This guy is the person who gave me a new world.
Without him, I can't explain all the event suddely happend in my life.

I never imagine that I will fall in love with foriegner before.

Even I didn't think that I gonna have a talk with someone in my business trip to italy.
Well, He was a student in Amsterdam university with political science major, very humorous ,sociable
and handsome. hahaHe is such a nice conversationist.As a asian, I didn't have enough skill to have a talk without shopping , but after I met him, I needed to study how I can bring topics for the conversation.
I think that was a first step to be closer each other. We had lots of thing to share because of different culture,different language and different apprearance.

And finally we learnd how great the love language it is.

It makes everything understandable.

Isn't it amazing?

Still, we are trying to share everything and make it understandable.

Sometimes people easily forgets that the person who is living with her/him is different from her/him.
Your partner can not be same as you. For understanding each other, You need to talk.

That is the charm of keeping love.

Merry Christmas
