Ginataang Kalabasa and Crabs

Last week it was raining non-stop and nothing to do but eat sleep and cook, and cook I did. I was too hungry at the time I was cooking the ginataang crabs with kalabasa. So what happened...I was cooking and eating at the dining and trying to be in the kitchen at the same time (ahahaha Edited). I think I added too much salt to this one. Yes, sometimes we do make mistakes and we just have to live with it. Get up again and try again. Only to be kicked in the gut again. No apologies. And I am back. Back to cooking, writing and loving. Taking time to be present and be at the moment (on repeat). Taking in the beauty of everything around us. To be alive again :)

Sinigang

Ang buhay parang sinigang malinamnam, maasimasim, masarap higupin, mainit mas mabuting kainin kung mainit. It has been a while since I wrote something here in my blog. My mind and my heart has been preoccupied with busy work and stuff that make adults forget to be more creative. Recently, I've decided once again on my nth attempt to have a more meaningful life to see the extra ordinary in the ordinary. To be more sensitive to various senses that make one feel alive. To be more mindful. I embarked on a 100 happy days project to take my mind off negative feelings that plague my mind and my heart. I felt at one time that I am wasting away my heart and my energy and time to something that can only cause stress, headaches and heartaches. To be mindful in living, to be more appreciative of the small stuff that I know gives me joy. I guess cooking and cooking for others and sharing my love to them is one way of healing. And I am back. Back to cooking, writing and loving. Taking time to be present and be at the moment. Taking in the beauty of everything around us. To be alive again :)
