Lessons from 5 blog-less sick days

May 9, 2012 2 Comments

I can’t believe it’s just been 5 days since I last blogged. Man, it felt like weeks! And it is so good to be back?

I know I have broken my promise of 365 blogposts this year, but I had to heed the call of my body to rest and recuperate. I have been bogged down by massive headaches and fever for days. Note: If there are people, who have a love affair with headaches, I am seriously not that kind of person. So headaches are still a strange phenomena for me.

I wouldn’t say that these past days have been a great experience, but I’ve learned a LOT.

The high of inspired writing

April 18, 2012 Leave a Comment

This my word right now and I hope that it would continue to be my word every single day I sit down in front of my laptop and write a blogpost. I feel like I’m on a roll like the gambler who keeps on winning and winning, game after game after game. I enjoyed writing my posts about being a recipe rebel and the need for breathing space.

Graduating to the next level

March 31, 2012 7 Comments

phase in their education, whether it be primary, high school or university, and step up to the new life ahead. I remember my graduations vaguely as I never put as much value into them. But now that I won’t be enjoying any graduation ceremonies anymore, I realized how important these ceremonies were. Graduation ceremonies helps us look back to how much we’ve accomplished over time and helps us look forward into the future, painting a picture of where we want ourselves to be.

Today, as the month of March ends, I look back on how much I’ve accomplished in the past 91 days and look forward into the future.I won’t deny that these past 3-months have been a roller coaster ride, which has its cloud nine highs and heart attack inducing dips.

I am exhausted. My eyes are drooping as I type these words on the computer. Not just physically, but creatively as well.

Bye bye February, Hello March!

February 29, 2012 Leave a Comment

It’s the end of February today! Not only is it a mark of a leap year, but it also means that I have been blogging uninterruptedly for 60-days :-) Now that’s a feat I am truly proud of!

A lot of people ask me: “How do you do it?!?” I seriously can’t even believe I did it! I mean, I am still doing it.

1..2..3…Jump!

I’ve been thinking a lot about becoming a Filipino food ambassadress. I know it sounds ludicrous that I am even considering it. Because who am I to be one? But then again, who else will have the courage to be it?

Filipino food ambassadress thinking cap still on…

February 21, 2012 4 Comments

To be honest, there’s not much happening in the food front for now. I am still hungover from yesterday’s food blogger life changing question: “To be or not to be a Filipino food ambassadress?” I don’t know if it’s me just taking things too seriously, even though I don’t look like I do take things seriously around here. (Spoon & fork, fruits, vegetables and pastries with smiling faces?!? Serious you say eh?)

To be or not to be a Filipino food ambassadress?

Clockwise from bottom left: Lumpiang sariwa, Pancit Palabok, Halo-halo, Buko Pandan drink

Now that is THE question.

This wasn’t the first time I was asked to share my knowledge about Filipino cuisine. In fact, the lunch date earlier was the FOURTH time I was asked to help navigate a non-Filipino through a maze of dishes on a Filipino restaurant’s menu. Who wouldn’t want to help out a fellow foodie in need?

I failed as a food blogger

February 19, 2012 4 Comments

Wala. Wiz.

I am almost always very prepared for anything. Dirty hands? I’ve got alcohol or hand sanitizer in my bag. Chapped lips? I’ve got lip balm. Loose change? I’ve got some in my coin purse. Need a light? I’ve got a lighter in my bag…even if I don’t smoke. But today, I failed as a food blogger…

Organizing the organized

When caught in sandstorm...just keep cleaning!

This is one of those rare normal two-day weekends that The Husband with the wonky work schedule enjoys. We usually go out for a nice brunch / dinner out, but instead, we found ourselves cooped up in our wee home due to an uncontrollable force of nature, namely: a sandstorm.

It’s not my first sandstorm because I experienced a few already. But this has been the longest (I can still hear the wind!) and the strongest I’ve ever had in my five months here. Our sliding windows were banging against the wall and the wind was howling like a lonely puppy locked out of the house…all night long. I woke up tired from the racket the sandstorm caused. It wasn’t a good night’s sleep. So I stood up from bed and decided to take a peep to see if there has been any damage to our poor clothes drying rack, which was left outside our balcony. As my bare feet touched our tiled floor, I could feel the sand. I felt so much sand with every step I took.
