It's the way I see everything I need

On repeat since the other night when my brother made me listen to it.



I love the choir that sings "higher and higher and higher..." (:

Been streaming their Manners album all day. Need to copy it from my brother. Haha!

How You Cookin'?

The Getting to Know You Quiz
via How to Eat a Cupcake

Metal or non-stick? Non-stick. Less mess. (:

Cast iron or stainless? I'm not sure. Both?

Cutting board: silicone or wood? Wood. I don't think I've ever owned a silicone board.

Knife: carbon steel or stainless? I rarely use the knife so I'm not sure, either. Is there a difference? Haha.

Kitchenaid or hand mixer? KitchenAid fo sho. I have two. One handed down to me by my Mommy and one given to me as a gift by her sisters.

Cooktop: gas, electric, induction? Gas. That's the only one we have I think.

Side-by-side, freezer on top, fridge on top? Right now, freezer on top. (: I don't have a house of my own yet, therefore no refrigerator of my own, either.

Apron or whoops? I have lots of aprons at home! But it's just too hot to wear one. I really should though. I keep getting myself in flour or confectioner's sugar. Haha! I have cute one that looks like a dress (my brother gave it to me for Christmas) and another one that says Pushing Daisies across it.

Mashed potatoes: by hand, ricer, or mixer? I haven't made mashed potatoes in a loooong time. But I think I mash them with a fork... by hand.

Sandwich or wrap? Sandwiches are easier to make. But only because sandwich bread is easier to find here in Manila. Haha!

PB & _________ ? Nutella! Duh. d:

Pancakes: syrup or applesauce? Do you even put apple sauce on pancakes? Maple syrup! Or peanut butter and Nutella. Haha, sorry, those are two of my favorite things to eat.

Cake: scratch or mix? Scratch. I don't think I've ever made a cake from box mix.

Chili: beans or no? I've never made chili... so.

Napkin: cloth or paper? We only use the paper ones here at home.

BBQ: takes the whole weekend to make or take out? It doesn't take the whole weekend to make! d: I love the chicken barbecue our houseboy and all-around helper makes. It's got soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, and a bit of white wine in it. Mmm, tasty!

Chicken: white or dark? I don't really have a preference. I usually go for the bigger part. Hahaha!

Ice cream: cone or dish? Either way, I'll eat it! But if it's in a cone I like waffle cones or sugar cones. (: Mmm. Now I want some ice cream!

Answer it, too!

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday



I didn't realize I haven't been updating until a friend told me to blog here already. And when I checked this morning, I saw that my last entry was over a month ago!

I've gone on three vacations already (2 to the beach and 1 to the mountains). Almost through fixing all my requirements for another vacation. And celebrating the birthdays of my May loves.

I got on a plane by myself this year. Waiting two whole hours alone in an airport and did not once wish I had someone with me. Treated myself to a well-deserved vacation and enjoyed immensely. The last time I did this was two years ago.

Just when you think things aren't going to get any better than this, God still has some surprises up his sleeve. This year is turning out great. (: Couldn't ask for anything more. I am so blessed.
