It's been a extremely tedious to try and blog while vlogging a the same time. There's a difgferent art to writing and telling stories through a written platform, but lately with all that's happening--socially. politically--doing my content through video really has been the best way to go. But when it comes to getting all the information out there, blogging is still the way...
Earlier this year I was on a roll with my recipes. I may not have been updating the blog as much as I was updating my other social media sites, and my excuse is Tiktok lol. It's just so easy to consume media on Tiktok for someone who has short attention span. I mean, it's the perfect formula--people stuck at home in the...
It's no secret Filipinos have fully embraced Korean culture. From Kpop to Korean food, we've all managed to get our hands on it. Not only have Korean BBQs taken us by storm, we've started 'Filipinizing" some of their traditional dishes like Kimchi, alternating the flavor to fit the Filipino palate more. And it's not a bad thing! We've managed to widen our palate...
I've been seeing quite a number of people complaining about blogs that include personal stories in each post. One friend posted, "I just want a recipe, I don't want to hear about your childhood". And for some reason, that struck a nerve. I know blogs are supposed to be informational, but they're personal spaces first and foremost. I think the author putting in...
I was supposed to go to bed early until I saw this in my drafts. Since this pandemic started, I haven't really done anything useful or productive outside of work. I mean sure I get work done and I get to upload a couple of youtube videos every now and then but that's pretty much it. I wanted to instill some sense of...
I love burgers, that's it. That's the tweet. LOLJK--but no really, I'm not very fond of meat whether it be pork or beef but I do have my favorites, one of which is a fat, juicy, thicc-ass burger. I almost always just get takeout or delivery because despite knowing how to make one, it's insanely laborious to have to go through everything and...
Before I even begin to extensively talk about this new discovery, I just want to remind everyone--whatever our cravings are, please stay home. I know I write about food all the time and some of you may want to try them and i get that--but please, please always opt for delivery instead. Wash your hands before and after you get your delivery and...
Times have been really hard ever since we were placed on lockdown. They eased the requirements for a while but as you may have heard, we're back to MECQ and it's getting utterly tiring. Our lives have been on hold for five months now with no clear direction on what's about to happen to us. It doesn't help that the government doesn't really...
Hey everyone, how are you holding up? You're not even asking but I want to share that the past few months of being on lockdown has been hard mentally and emotionally. I won't even get into all of the injustices of this government, but I'm just tired, really. I've tried being a small voice for those who can't speak for themselves, but my...
I was thinking of greeting you guys with, "Hey it's day xx of the lockdown--" but I just realized I don't really know what day of the lockdown we're in. As mentioned I started doing my own home quarantine way before the actual lockdown so I've been cooped up at home for more than a month. I've experimented with a ton of recipes,...
Hey, everyone! How are y'all doing? It's day 16 of my lockdown because I've been working from home long before the announced lockdown since I'm a little paranoid about viruses. So these days have been pretty bleak and depressing, mentally. I've been telling myself my next project when all this is over is that I'll fill my place with plants. Being stuck in...
How is everyone doing? I'm trying to just keep my head in the air and take care of my mental health while we all go through this lockdown. To be honest I haven't been in my productive mode for the entire week because I just can't imagine having so much output given everything that's happening outside. I usually spend my day watching the...
Hey, everyone how have you been doing? I'm writing this a day from the official Metro Manila lock down which is supposed to last for a month. I'm not sure if posting blogs or uploading vlogs would be appropriate at the moment but this is something you can do while confined at home so I thought why not try and share? I know...
I love Pares. Well, not as much as I love Sashimi but it's one of my favorte Filipino food. Best served with torched bone marrow but I wouldn't mind having it on its own. From what I recall, I first had Pares around 2014 at my ex's house. Their helper's Pares was one of the best I've tasted. I've asked my Mom to...
