day off

It's been a while since i just sat around and did nothing... I thought i would miss the hustle and bustle life...but there is much to be said about contentment in the laidback life...and im content.no manager is bombarding me with messages and hate mail in the middle of the night...i can even say i dont have enough to do sometimes...but who can complsin about that? Certainly not moi...

Knits to Go

been busy with knits lately...toys for the most part..will post pics soon...

coffee

After a long leave of absence from the internet, though no fault of my own..im hitching on the free, albeit slow, internet at a popular coffee shop here in town. though I'm beginning to think that most people come here not for the seriously overpriced coffee but to be seen and to take advantage of the internet..har har

burjer

i suddenly had a craving for a burger and had some time on my hands. so i decided to make one. and it is definitely cheaper and if i must say, better than commercial burgers. no preservatives and extenders added to the beef. the best part? including gas and time? total cost for 5 good sized burgers is Php 200. now ain't that a steal? plus you get to control the doneness of the burger which is sadly lacking in most burger joints. the burger was juicy and fresh, with no chemical aftertaste. and the best part? the mozarella cheese that just melted inside the patty and the juice running down my chin....

sili

One unhurried day, I found an abundance of chillies in the small garden fronting our boarding house. With nothing better to do, since I was cooking lunch anyway, I decided to make use of the bounty and sort of preserve the chillies for future use.After a few minutes spent on hot oil, the green,orange and red babies became golden brown terrors. Perfect on top of sisig..hmmm,maybe I should cook up some..soon

nothing to do

I just realized, or maybe just accepted to myself, that my life indeed is boring. There, I said it.Maybe acceptance is indeed the start of the healing process.And with that, hopefully, moving forward, my life will be for the better.

For the past 3 years, I have been doing nothing but work, eat, and sleep. All in that same order and priority. It seems that maybe, just maybe, I have been doing things for the wrong reason but just ignored that niggling at the back of my mind, that this is not the life for me. I am a person who enjoys the outdoors,spending time in the sun and sand,sweat pouring from my pores thru various activities such as hiking, soccer,badminton and others.

SO WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING STARING AT THE MONITOR AND THE BLANK WALLS???

Maybe it is indeed time for a change and to move on, for better or for worse.

booties

Baby Booties are my current Knitsession(knit-obsession, ha ha!). it helps that a lot of people around me are knocked up...and the list of customers is growing longer. So far I have 1 fail safe pattern that I have reproduced about 4 times all in different colors. It's wonderful! One minute you have this long thin piece of string, and after a couple of hours, viola! Something to keep a baby's feet toasty warm...

knitting

i've picked up a new hobby.it's therapeutic...meaning i get less urges to bash people's heads in and bloody up the place. With knitting, i can look forward to results...though not always pleasant and beautiful..but then again, i can rip it all away and start anew... it is amazing how a piece of string and 2 long sticks can make something amazing like a sweater or baby booties..hahaha..beware my friends..for the forseeable future,it seems you will be getting handknitted items..bwahahahah

past is past

2010 was a very difficult year for me. a lot of realizations came about, a lot of changes. it felt like i was placed inside a martini shaker and vigorously shook, up down, right left..around and around... there were some times that i did not understand what i was thinking, and let alone feeling...states of euphoria and utter desperation sometimes came together.
i also lost one of the most important people in my life, my grandmother. she was one of my pillars, one of the reasons why i am who i am now. she raised me. she also taught me a lot of lessons that are carved into my memory. i am simply lost and in pain without her.
