Through Josephine’s eyes: an interview

Josephine is just that one of a kind soul. Her infectious smile and radiating positivity transcends hundred folds not only with how she is but also with what she does- as she instructs her subjects for a pose in front of a picturesque background, takes that shot through her lens and the resulting photo isContinue reading “Through Josephine’s eyes: an interview”

Navigating life’s changes: part 2

It has been a long time coming back in here. Almost two years since my last post. The website even had to become defunct for a while and I just resurrected it three weeks ago knowing that I will be ready to put down my words and finally write what I have been through, butContinue reading “Navigating life’s changes: part 2”

Navigating life’s changes: part 1

[Warning: sensitive issues involving mental health. Read with caution and without judgment.] Pandemic. Pregnancy. Motherhood. Those are the words that define my time away from this part of myself.

Less guilt chocolate cupcakes (no eggs, less sugar)

This is one good stuff, I kid you not. From the title itself, no eggs and less sugar, the recipe and procedure is easy- peasy. The reason why I didn’t use egg is I ran out of eggs so I was looking for a recipe replacement in the web and one thing in common aboutContinue reading “Less guilt chocolate cupcakes (no eggs, less sugar)”

We were then living in a low key city (QuezonContinue reading “Baked Sriracha Chicken Wings”

Easy, no meat Chapchae

I’m dropping recipes like fresh pancakes ’cause there’s nothing more to do! Besides I really do miss writing. I reckon, now that I’m way past the middle of my second trimester, I’m already out of the phase where I prefer to just be lazy. Well, you really cannot take away the lazy days out ofContinue reading “Easy, no meat Chapchae”

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms (No meat)

It’s been a while you guys! A lot has happened this 2020. Definitely with lovely ups for me and my husband but remarkably way downs for the world. COVID 19 pandemic has affected us so much, and posting some news about the progress of my pregnancy might be seen as tone deaf,  and I amContinue reading “Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms (No meat)”

Avoca Beach… baby!

Last month, before our pregnancy announcement, TJ and I decided to spend a day at one of the most popular beaches in Central Coast, proud of its high waves that caters to surfers and adventure seekers. It’s also a first for TJ to dip in Aussie beach waters so it was pretty exciting! The beachContinue reading “Avoca Beach… baby!”
