I’m no chef, but while mom was away, I did my best to feed my dad. I searched through YouTube and the internet for meal ideas to make for him. With everything he’s going through with his health, his appetite isn’t great. He eats, but doesn’t really enjoy food like he used to. I stumbled…
March is off with a bang
Apologies for being MIA for the past couple of weeks, it’s been a hectic time. My mom went overseas for my cousin’s wedding, but due to some health issues and doctor appointments, my dad couldn’t join her. So, I’ve been dadsitting. While I’m perfectly fine living off ramen with occasional takeout, I have to make…
Lego and build!
My brother finished his fellowship last summer and finally has a full-time adult job. He’s doing great and even got me the Lego Boutique Hotel as one of many thank-you gifts for all the moral support I gave him while he was in school. He remembered me mentioning the hotel during the holidays when he…
The good sandwich
I’m not really into sandwiches. I’ll make or eat one if there’s nothing else to bring to work or order from a menu. I prefer simple and plain—just ham and cheese with mayo. I do enjoy a BLT from time to time though. The best sandwich I’ve ever had was at a place called Sarafina’s…
Dark and twisty
For my New Year’s resolutions, I’ve only managed to give up beef so far. I haven’t gotten around to exercising, and once again, I’ve fallen into the habit of thinking money grows on trees. I bought a purse last night that I wanted, but definitely didn’t need. At least I got it on sale! A…
Pistachio Please!
Are you a fan of pastries? I definitely am. The problem is, I probably shouldn’t love them so much since they’re not great for my blood sugar, and my doctor’s asked me to cut back on carbs. But the thing is, pastries are just so beautiful, and I can’t resist how pretty they are! Pretty…
My friend is getting married
feature image – Stonehouse Villa | Texas Hill Country Luxury Weddings As an introvert, I don’t have a big circle of friends. I do have friends, but the ones I can truly rely on are the kind of lifelong friends I can count on one hand. Interestingly, all of us are currently single, though that’s…
A few days in, how’s it going so far?
Happy New Year, everyone! Can you believe it’s already 2025? Is the year starting off the way you expected? I’m still committed to my New Year’s resolutions. So far, I’ve stuck to my goal of not choosing beef when I buy or order food. I haven’t started my exercise journey yet, but I will! I’m…
You need to do better
You know that phrase, “New year, new me”? Do you buy into it? I don’t usually, because even though it’s a new year, it’s still the same old crap. I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions. I just aim to do better. I’m usually good for about a month, but then I slip back into…
The Holiday movies
What are your go-to holiday movies that you have to watch every Christmas? I have three that are non-negotiable for me, or at least need to be playing in the background: The Holiday, The Family Stone, and The Last Holiday. I feel like The Holiday is probably on most people’s top three or five. But…
