Koreans, like Filipinos, eat rice everyday! It’s just fortunate that we are not experiencing a rice crisis here. Have you ever had a Korean meal? Having a Korean husband means eating Korean food everyday. It’s a good thing though that my husband eats lunch at work so I could get to eat what I want for lunch. This afternoon, I made chicken adobo with potatoes that I shared with my son.

Preparing Korean meal is tedious. Lots of “banchan” or side dishes and there always has to be a soup for every meal. When my parents-in-law are here (and they sometimes stay long!) I almost run out of meal ideas. They wouldn’t eat anything besides Korean food!

I’d finally made up my mind on what to do with this blog. I’d changed the title since “Myeoneuri” is kinda difficult to spell (and pronounce if you’re not used to it). I’d also changed the tagline of this blog. I’m hoping that I’d be able to update this as much as I can, specially that I’d be going back to school in August!

I’m a first time mom living in a foreign country where English is not an official language. I remember that when I was pregnant, I worried a lot. I thought I wouldn’t be a good mother able to take care of a newborn. Looking back, I got a lot of help from BabyCenter and I still visit the site from time to time.

I just love Babycenter as it has all the information one could ever need from preconception until your child is 9! I love the birth clubs most of all. I could interact with other moms and read about their experiences too.

Another website I frequent is Ask Dr. Sears. I’d seen Dr. Sears and his family in Dr. Phil’s show. The FAQ in the site is really helpful for nervous moms like me.

Being in a foreign country and not being in constant contact with the women in my family made me just glad that those sites are available. They’ve been saving me for more than two years now!
