Enjoying The Ride

On Career

Writing is one career I never envisioned myself getting into, much less take seriously. Of course, as a child I had my "Dear Diary" days on a small, hard-bound Hello Kitty journal my mom gave me. I remember clearly one of entries in my 3rd grade: "Today, my grandmother taught me how to cross-stitch."

Somehow, the career found me --- thrice. So I have made a decision to be up for one fun amazing ride.

On Marriage

A typical question I get is, "Hey, how's married life?"

The two answers I give are these:
1. It's still like going on a date, except we live in one house.
2. Cooking now is more fun because it means no more leftovers.
Such is the fate of the Kim Bap which sometimes gets stuffed in my husband's bento box which he takes to work.

On Life

Life is simply good.

Old-Fashioned Comfort At Cafe Juanita

>> Thursday, June 4, 2009

As a pseudo-slash-wanna vegetarian, it does not come as a surprise that the freezer at home contains only the following: fillet of chicken, some fish and just about 1/4k of sirloin. The bulk of groceries goes to the vegetable bin. Needless to say, 80% of the food in this house is either whole grain and plant-based.

I recently visited one quirky restaurant north of Manila. Friends have been talking about it and when a business meeting was set in Cafe Juanita, I was more than curious to see what draws people in.

Blatantly quirky and bohemian but downright charming. A bit cluttered but surprisingly inviting.

Lunch was a mouth-watering dish of breaded tilapia served with a delectable tamarind sauce...

and one crispy catfish salad with ampalaya.


Yum.

New Direction

Aha.

I'm back.

For months I've been out of the blogging loop as I’ve up to my nose with writing deadlines.

So many things have transpired since the last entry. Somewhere along the way, a decision was made to change the direction of this blog.

This time around I will document my little attempts to save the world and GREEN my lifestyle one item, technique, dish, person and one place at a time.

Why?

Because that is my way of living extraordinarily in an ordinary world.
