solo mi pensamiento...

Dejemos de huir de lo que ambos sabemos: no podemos vivir el uno sin el otro. Volvámonos a encontrar, no para vivir en el pasado, sino para abrazar el amor que siempre hemos compartido. ¡Sin pensarlo dos veces, sin dudar! Solo amor puro y auténtico por el que vale la pena luchar.

Mi vida ya no está completa sin ti en ella

Giving in to my nieces' sweet cravings...

I have three beautiful nieces.....

Dana (the daughter of my older brother), Nini (the baby of my twin sister) and Zafi (the first born of my older sister).

They are so sweet and they love...sweets!

I want it a little spicy....

Dad requested for "miswa soup with sponge gourd".....less salt

Miswa is a thin noodles made of wheat flour. To cook the soup, you just need to sauté garlic and onions in oil, add some broth cubes, then put the noodles, add salt and pepper to taste, put some eggs, let it boil to cook, when its almost ready put the sliced sponge gourd, steamed for a few minutes....the soup is ready! You can also add ground pork or dried shrimps, depending on your cravings :) 

After serving Dad a bowl of his request, I decided to put meatballs on the remaining soup and more black pepper too....



Burp!

Wish (소원)


After a tiring day
When I came home
Strangely, I felt an unfamiliar feeling

An unknown dizziness
An unknown frustration
Will I be okay?

One day, two days, a week has passed
Time is flowing but I'm only looking at the sky
Like a person without any thoughts

I'm blaming myself
And I'm laughing at myself
Becoming more and more miserable
Without you I'm so pitiful

I really want you
But I can't wish for you anymore
In front of these countless emotions
What must I do?

One day, two days, a week has passed
Time is flowing
But I'm only looking at the sky
Without any thoughts

I miss you, I miss you again
Even when I close my wet eyes
I keep thinking about you
Do you feel the same way?

Even my wish
Of not wanting to love you anymore
Is a useless wish
But I keep wishing it anyway

cooked "sinigang".....

Dad requested that I cook "pork sinigang" for him. Good thing there are left over "pork belly lechon" from yesterday.


Sinigang is a Filipino dish characterized by sour broth with pork (or fish) and vegetables. My Mom who grew up in the Philippines taught me how to prepare the dish. Since we don't have tamarind fruit I used some tamarind mix that we bought from the Filipino store. I also added lemon juice for some zest.

And well, since I already have my hands on the lemon, I prepared lemon juice with honey.
