I hope you enjoyed my blog as much as I enjoyed writing it. It's been one fun ride through pining for good food, stumbling upon sweet nothings, writing to ward off sadness, sharing my excitement, and learning something extraordinary every step of the way over the past 3 years.
Now on to the next adventure! I hope you can join me :)

Ramen :D
Can't wait to try out some of these recipes!
On A Budget? 5 Ways to Eat Ramen for Dinner
Times are tight, budgets are pinched. We had two dollars left in our food budget on Tuesday of last week, so I buzzed to the store and bought the only thing I could think of. Ramen. At 17 cents a package, ramen has to be the best food deal out there. And, it’s a fun deal, too. Because a packet of ramen isn’t just soup waiting to be made. It’s actually a blank canvas ready to be turned into art. Here are 10 super-simple ways to pimp out your ramen and make it into a simple, satisfying dinner.
1. Veggie Ramen (pictured above) . Toss a tablespoon of butter into a skillet. Add 2 tablespoons each of thinly-sliced carrots, frozen green beans, frozen white corn, and edamame. Cook just until softened. Add a packet of Pork Ramen, 2 cups of water, and cook until the noodles are cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add seasoning packet. Serve and enjoy.
2. Egg Foo Ramen. In a small bowl, whisk an egg with 1 tablespoon of water until well beaten. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour egg into the water, then add the noodles. Cook just until tender. Season with seasoning packet. Garnish with sliced green onions.
3. Chinese Chicken Salad. Shred 1/4 a head of cabbage, 1 breast of chicken, and 1/4 white onion. Add 1 package of crushed Chicken-flavored Ramen. In a small bowl, whisk together the seasoning packet, 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Toss dressing into salad, serve and enjoy.
4. Ham Fried Ramen. A simple take on Fried Rice, cook a packet of Pork Ramen until the noodles are tender. Drain completely. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon olive oil until sizzling. Add 1/4 cup diced ham and 1/4 cup of frozen peas & carrots to the oil. Immediately toss in the noodles. Crack an egg into the mixture and stir until well cooked and distributed around the noodle mixture. Season with soy sauce, garnish with a handful of diced green onions.
5. Parmesan Ramen. Cook a packet of ramen noodles. Save the flavoring packet for another day. Once the noodles are cooked, drain the water from them completely. Top with a pat of butter, a bit of freshly-shredded parmesan, and some chopped parsley.

23
It's been a while, yes?
I'm happy to report that I have been doing something new everyday, though I've opted not to post everything here and instead just enjoy the moments as they come. It's been one crazy, crazy summer. The highs and lows have got my head spinning in all directions, and I'm just appreciating this down time and using it to take it all in.
I'm 23 now. Twenty-three years. I'm a daughter, sister, friend, fiancee, employee, wingman, cousin, granddaughter, niece, acquaintance, colleague. I have to admit I'm not always good at being some, and sometimes even all of the above, all at once. Growing up is a flurry of joy and pain and confusion, and I think I can say I'm doing my best. We're all doing our best.
--
Things I've learned this year:
1. Happiness is a choice, and also, a sort of lucky thing. Choose it; don't take it for granted.
2. Friends support each other and enjoy each other's company. That's all there is to it.
3. If you don't enjoy conversations with your partner the most, leave. Now.
4. People change. It doesn't mean they love you any less.
5. People leave, and yes, that does mean that they've found something they love a little more than you. It's just the way it is. Someday someone will leave something else for you. You probably will, too.
6. Bad luck is universal. Don't take it personally.
7. Airports are both the saddest and happiest places. Appreciate everyone who goes through them - they come out stronger.
8. When people love you, it doesn't give you the right to test them.
9. Breathe deep, then let it go. Sometimes it's all you can do.

Last year, I said that the happiest times in my life are moments I spend with good company. That still holds true, but now I realize that one's happiness shouldn't depend on other people. I can be my own good company, too.

A career in housekeeping?
Last night, I rearranged my room and threw out things I don't want or need anymore. I stopped short at moving one of the two beds inside into another room, though I'm still contemplating it at this point. I am proud to report that I threw out buckets of paper and even old, empty ballpens I couldn't part with when I was my younger, packrat-er self! And, I made a tiny holder for my earrings out of that piece of glass. I. Am. Genius.
What I'm really liking about this Something New Project is that I've become more open to trying out new things - it makes me lean towards saying "yes" to stuff I would normally say "no" to in a heartbeat (Like me saying yes to going to church with my little brother over an extra hour of sleep; I haven't gone to church in months!), and it also makes me actively seek out opportunities to do something for the first time. Mind you, it takes some creativity!
Since creativity isn't really one of my best assets, suffice to say I am running out of ideas! Today, for instance, I have yet to do anything new of significance and it is already 6 PM. Should I go clean another portion of the house? Maybe the den? HELP!!!

A letter of resignation
Before you think that I'm taking my Something New Project a little too far, let me just say that it's been some time coming. And now it's here. And it feels scarier than I thought it would.
I'm firing myself from a job I actually liked. I have two main jobs - Finance Manager and Director of Sales and Marketing. I'm giving up the latter, because of many reasons, including the fact that juggling both jobs has left me exhausted, stressed and pressured beyond capacity.
It's taken me a while to admit that. It's taken me a while to admit that, though I work hard and have the best interests at heart, sometimes I'm just not the right person for the job, in this case, due to lack of experience and lack of time.
How I wish I could just give up my Finance Manager post, instead. How I wish with all my heart that that was the one I had to let go of. But circumstances dictate that I hold on to that one just a little bit longer.
I don't know what to expect now that I'm not the boss of these 6 people outside my office anymore. I don't know how to deal with not having an office of my own. I love this space, with its quiet and more than enough space to think, and its beautiful view of Manila Bay just outside my window, and I feel sad that I have to give it up. I'm afraid that I'm going to be insanely jealous of the person I hired to take my place, because she will now have this office. She will now have the time and the privilege to do what I was supposed to. She'll have my job.
My Finance office is chaotic. Imagine dot matrix printers churning out papers and phones ringing every single minute. And I'm supposed to be balancing numbers and making finance reports in the midst of all that? Where do I go to think now? Where do I get my own space and peace?
I still have a job, but somehow I feel almost jobless. Like I'm not sure where to go from here.
But of course, being the oddly organized yet still messy person that I am, I do know where to go from here. I know that I will finish packing up my things, move out of this office, pack my bags tonight, go back to my Finance office, clean up the back log I have to come home to, clean up my room at home, schedule my flights, turn over my work to the new Director of Sales and Marketing, check up on her, check up on myself, check the hotel, and do what I was supposed to be doing in the first place, what I have to do to make sure everything is working properly - fix up the finance, inventory and audit reports.
I almost feel like I won't even do any of that, but that's gonna defeat the purpose of executing my own resignation. The reason why I have to give up my job is to make way for other more important things. This will change me, I know it, but I don't know how exactly yet, or whether it will be for the good. I do feel though that it's the right, albeit difficult, step.
I love being able to come to Manila, my freedom, learning new things, being my own boss, making my own schedule, calling my own shots. But more than that, I love my family, and I care about the future of this business.
Closing my eyes and taking a leap of faith today. I can do this.
Yesterday, my siblings and I went to church just the three of us for the first time, without being told! Are we really adults now? It was good to be sitting there with them, listening to the Reverend talk about how the opposite of love is not hate, instead, it's indifference. A very nice thought: once we are secure with ourselves and when we trust that we are in good hands, it will be easy for us to love unselfishly. It was a perfect way to end the fantastic weekend.
The service ended with this film. It made me cry.

brown rice
To help fight my Dad's rising blood sugar levels, I decided to pick up some brown rice at the grocery and prepare it at home. Just to quote some health benefits of brown rice:
"The health benefits of high fiber content foods are numerous, it reduces the possibility of heart diseases, helps avoid abrupt spikes in sugar levels, helps digestion and reduces constipation etc. Some medical tests have indicated that the health benefits of brown rice could include controlling high blood pressure. Besides high fiber content, brown rice also contains other nutrients like, B vitamins, manganese, selenium and iron. By eating brown rice, you will also get the health benefits that such nutrients give the human body."
You can check out the source here for more information: our friend The Internet
It actually tastes good! Hearty and a little bit nutty and more exciting than white rice ;)
Doesn't that look appetizing? This is one Something New that I'm definitely gonna turn into a habit :)

Something New
"He wanted to live life in such a way that if a photograph were taken at random, it would be a cool photograph. Things should look right. Fun; there should be a lot of fun and no more sadness than absolutely necessary." - One Day
No more sadness than absolutely necessary. Don't you think that's just pure genius?
--
Today, I realized something about myself - I'm addicted to routine. I'm happy, but my life is the same, everyday, and after a while, I realize that, though I'm happy, I stop growing. I stop challenging myself. I stop creating. And I stop being the best person I can be.
With no time wasted and a sudden urge to drink coffee after lunch, I'm starting a project. A very simple one. I'll call it the "Something New Project." (Just because everything that ends with the word "project" sounds so cool, right?) Everyday, I'll do something I don't usually do, or I've never done before. The project will go on for as long as there is something new for me to do; that's my commitment.
So today, coffee. Just because it's something I don't usually like to drink. Just me actually pouring fine ground coffee into a cup, adding in some sugar, and stirring it all up with hot water. I never realized how simple it was. The warm cup in my hands feels pretty darn good.

Mangyari Lamang
Rico Abelardo
Mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nagmamahal
Nang makita ng lahat ang mukha ng pag-ibig
Ipamalas ang tamis ng malalim na pagkakaunawaan
Sa mga malabo ang paningin.
Mangyari lamang ay tumayo rin ang mga nagmahal at nasawi
Nang makita ng lahat ang mga sugat ng isang bayani
Ipadama ang pait ng kabiguan habang ipinagbubunyi
Ang walang katulad na kagitingan ng isang nagtaya.
Mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nangangambang magmahal
Nang makita ng lahat ang kilos ng isang bata Ipamalas ang katapatan ng damdamin
Na pilit ikukubli ng pusong lumaki sa mga engkanto at diwata.
Mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nagmahal, minahal at iniwan ngunit handa pa ring magmahal
Nang makita ng lahat ang yaman ng karanasan Ipamalas ang katotohanang nasaksihan
Nang maging makahulugan ang mga paghagulgol sa dilim.
At sa mga nanatiling nakaupo,
Mangyari lamang ay dahan-dahang umalis papalabas sa nakangangang pinto
Umuwi na kayo at sumbatan ang mga magulang Na nagpalaki ng isang halimaw!
At sa lahat ng naiwang nakatayo,
Mangyari lamang ay hagkan ang isa’t isa at yakapin ang mga sugatan
Mabuhay tayong lahat na nagsisikap na makabalik sa ating pinagmulan Manatiling masaya at higit sa lahat magpatuloy sa pagmamahal.

no place that's home
This weekend, I realized every place I live in has become dusty just cos I move around so much. My bed at home gathers dust when I'm away, my corner in Manila becomes a dustbin when I leave cos it's the last place anyone wants to sleep in so I usually have to take that spot, and I'm the only one who uses my the extra room in my Grandma's house whenever my Dad's out of town and I won't have anyone with me at the house, so whenever I'm not there the room goes stale. I move an average of six times a month. Brian couldn't stop sneezing everywhere the entire weekend.
I guess that says a lot about how I treat all these places I stay at. They've all become temporary to me for quite some time now so I find no attachment towards them, not even my own house. I never stay long enough to appreciate their comforts. It's like I can leave anytime and it would be alright. The only stuff I give importance to now are the clothes I lug around and the important things in my handbag. And some books.
No flash realization or lightbulb~ here. It just makes me a little sad.

take me on a food trip!
Taken from Yahoo!
10 Best Regional Foods in America
No matter how you slice it, food can tell you a lot about a place.
More from SmarterTravel.com

- Top Five Bargain Destinations for Fall 2010
More from Yahoo! Travel
The U.S. boasts an array of regional culinary creations that offer insight into the history, climate, and culture of the place. Though there are way too many to list, here are 10 different foods that are sure to whet your appetite, from po-boy sandwiches to key lime pie.
Lobster RollMaine
Its origins may be a bit unclear, but there's no denying that Maine and lobster rolls are a match made in seafood heaven—it is the official state sandwich, afterall. New Englanders take pride in the hefty chunks of chilled cooked lobster meat lightly tossed with mayonnaise and served on a toasted hot dog bun. Though there are many twists on the recipe, including warm butter in place of the mayo or the addition of celery and a plethora of spices, true purists prefer their lobster rolls to be pretty bare bones.
Visitors can find this extravagant, yet humble, sandwich served at almost every restaurant in Maine, but there are a few places that bring it to new heights, including Shaw's Fish & Lobster Wharf in New Harbor, Bagaduce Lunch in Brooksville, and Waterman's Beach Lobster in South Thomaston, among many others.
Sourdough BreadSan Francisco
The history of sourdough bread is closely related to the men who came to San Francisco in 1849 in pursuit of gold. These 49ers would buy bread "starters," a fermented mixture of yeast, water, and flour, to bake fresh loaves on the trail, but discovered a sour flavor to the bread unlike anywhere else in the world. It's because San Francisco's climate produces wild microorganisms unique to the area, giving the bread its tangy bite. Seasoned miners even came to be known as "sourdoughs" for their time spent fermenting in the mines.
Meanwhile, a French baker by the name of Isidore Boudin struck culinary gold when he combined the sourdough starters with French baking techniques. The finished product was a loaf of bread, crusty on the outside and light and airy with a bit of a tart kick on the inside. Sourdough bread is now sold all over the city, but you can still buy it from the bakery that started it all, the Boudin Bakery.
Po-boy SandwichNew Orleans
Though there are many competing tales of when the po-boy was created, most people believe that the sandwich came to be during the streetcar driver strike in the 1920s, when restaurant owners, Clovis and Benjamin Martin invented the cheap eat to support the strike and feed the unemployed streetcar drivers. When a worker would approach the rear of the restaurant to purchase a sandwich, the kitchen staff would yell out, "Here comes another poor boy!" Eventually, the name stuck.
The original po-boy was made using French bread, leftover bits of beef, and gravy, but there are many different versions today, including the popular shrimp po-boy, made with deep fried Gulf shrimp, lettuce, tomatoes, and hot sauce. Po-boys are sold in restaurants all over the Big Easy, but it's hard to beat Johnny's Po-Boys, which has been serving the affordable sandwich for more than 50 years.
BagelsNew York City
Bagels may not have been invented in New York City, but they're as much a part of its culture as the Empire State Building. The recipe for the doughnut-shaped rolls came to the Big Apple in the 1880s, with the arrival of thousands of Eastern-European Jewish immigrants. In fact, so many individual bagel shops cropped up during this time that it became necessary to establish an International Bagel Bakers Union.
The New York-style bagel is made with salt and malt, and boiled before it's baked. The end result is a large doughy crust surrounding a fluffy and chewy interior. There is also great debate among New Yorkers on whether a fresh bagel should be toasted or not. Two of the more famous bagel spots are H&H and Ess-a-Bagel, but there are so many lesser-known places waiting to be discovered.
Key Lime PieKey West
As the story goes, fresh milk wasn't so easy to come by before the railroad came to Key West in 1912, making it very difficult to create custard pies. However, the invention of Borden's sweetened condensed milk in 1859 put desserts back on the kitchen table, and eventually led to the invention of the official state dessert for Florida. No one is quite certain who made the first key lime pie, but there's no denying that the combination of condensed milk, local key lime juice, egg yolks, and sugar poured over a graham cracker crust put this southern Florida town on the food map.
Many pie lovers today are torn between pastry or graham cracker crust and whipped cream or meringue topping. Almost every restaurant on the island offers a variation of the tangy treat, but there are a few places that are noted for making the best Key Lime Pie, including Blue Heaven, Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe, and the Blond Giraffe.
Philly Cheese SteakPhiladelphia
The Philly cheese steak, with its long crusty roll, filled to the brim with grilled, thinly sliced rib eye steak and smothered in neon orange Cheez Wiz, is as much of a Philadelphia icon as the Liberty Bell. There are several variations on the original sandwich, including provolone instead of Cheez Whiz, the addition of onions and green peppers, and thicker cuts of meat versus the shaved steak.
The mouthwatering mixture of cheese and beef was discovered in 1930 by Pat Olivieri, founder of Pat's King of Steaks, while making hot dogs. And though there's plenty of dispute over which of the city's restaurants reign supreme, Pat's and Geno's Steaks, located directly across the street from one another, are part of one of the greatest rivalries in food history.
Deep Dish PizzaChicago
One thing is for certain about the history of Chicago pizza: In 1943, a restaurant started selling a new item under the name, "Deep Dish Pizza," and the city's food scene was never the same again. There is some debate over who was the genius behind the tasty variation on traditional pies, but the true identity remains a mystery. The creator may never be found, but his pizza, with layers of ingredients stacked like a casserole and finished with sauce on top, will live on forever.
The first thick pie was served in a restaurant on East Ohio Street by the name of The Pizzeria, which soon became Pizzeria Uno. The restaurant is still there today, but you can find a slice of deep dish on almost every street corner in the Windy City.
BarbecueNorth Carolina, Memphis, Kansas City, Texas
Barbecue is serious business, and a surefire way to start a food fight is to claim that one region does it better than the next. Memphis, North Carolina, Kansas City, and Texas each represent a different style of barbecue: Memphis is known for its pulled pork shoulder slathered in a sweet tomato sauce and served with or without a bun; Kansas City revels in dry-rubbed ribs; Texas loves all things meat, from mesquite-grilled brisket to pulled pork; and North Carolina is all about the whole hog, smoked in a vinegar-based sauce.
A misconception about barbecue is that it's dependant on grilling. In fact, most would agree that it requires a great deal of skill and time to slow roast pork or beef until the meat nearly falls off the bone, and almost every great barbecue master has a special method or technique to get it just right. This accounts for why there are so many different flavors and varieties of barbecue, and why each is tasty in its own right.
Crab CakesMaryland
The idea behind crab cakes can be traced back to ancient times when seafood was scarce, and the best way to make the most out of the valuable commodity was by combining it with other ingredients in a patty. It's then believed that crab cake-style recipes were brought to the U.S. by English settlers during the colonial period, when Maryland locals used crabs native to the area to make the now famous crab cakes.
Basic Maryland, or Baltimore, crab cakes are typically made using fresh blue crab, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and a few binding ingredients before being formed into a patty and fried in butter. However, there are a plethora of variations on this simple recipe found all over the state, ranging from recipes served at upscale restaurants to sandwich shops.
Cheese CurdsWisconsin
Since Wisconsin is fondly referred to as the Cheese State, it seemed only fitting to highlight one of its greatest culinary commodities, the cheese curd. These peanut-sized snacks are created during the cheese making process when the milk curdles and before the cheese is processed into blocks. Fresh curds are rubbery in texture, salty to taste, and "squeak" when you bite them, hence the nickname, "squeaky cheese." Curds that sit out too long lose their noise and become a bit dry.
Cheese curds come in a variety of different flavors these days, including dill, jalapeno, and bacon, but it's hard to beat the classic yellow cheddar curd. Farms, gas stations, and grocery stores all over the state sell the noisy treat, but Mars' Cheese Castle in Kenosha is one of the more popular places to get them.

There are so many beautiful things in life. So many beautiful things. A sunset, a photograph, a smile, a wink, a special glance, a warm blanket. But so many sad things, too. Saying goodbye, death, the fear of death, the knowledge that things will always be a little less happy sometimes. That some things aren't meant to last. Oh, nothing is meant to last.
What if every moment of your life was a picture? Every single one would be so precious, so precious. Every single minute you breathe in, breathe out. Every click on your computer, every wrinkle of your face, every push of your feet against the earth.
If I had one wish, I would want every moment of my life to be special. I feel so mundane sometimes, so ordinary. Like I'm wasting my time. If I had one wish, I would wish for courage.
Here's to life. It is so beautiful. Every minute should be filled with love, delight, compassion, freedom. Every day should be celebrated like it would never happen again. Because it won't. Every minute is another chance. An opportunity to live.
I want to stop asking for chances. I have so many. I just need the courage to take them.
