Intentional and Purpose-Filled Living

Low Impact

Minimalism

Reflection

Create

These are the four cornerstones of my purpose-filled life this year that I intend to uphold.
I often come up with ideas and eventually forget about them. This time, I want to reach a whole not-so-new achievement. So help me, God.

Low Impact

- started as a zero-waste goal, I am trying to transition now to a more realistic direction. I don't claim to be a nature lover but there are times when I feel compassion for the environment. Here are the following practices I hope to continue:

• Creating ecobricks
• Upcycling products
• Refusing plastic and paper bags when making a purchase
• Shampoo/conditioner bars
• baby soap bars
• purchasing products in glass jars

Minimalism

• Frugality, which is more like avoiding unnecessary purchase
• Simplicity

Reflection

• Maintaining a bullet journal
• Working on a fit and healthy body. 
• Started with Ketogenic diet but will later transition to Vegetarianism

Create

• This goes side by side with my upcycling efforts
• Make my own stuff instead of buying.

love it when you english me. 

KGing...

And miles away that we are
then all the more the silly cat meows...

Carbonara Pasta

My latest carbonara was quite an epic fail.
bland, not so creamy and just 'un'delicious.
even my attempt to recook it also failed and even got worse. I added more milk, salt and some basil leaves to create that pesto effect but it didn't work to salvage my dish. when I ate it, I felt like throwing up, lol.
I figured that next time, I'm not going to wash the pasta after cooking it in salt water. I think that was one mistake. not sure if using just milk was also a problem - yes, I omitted the cream.
the butter was fine too and the ham was not too mediocre - though that was the cheapest one I chose haha
I have been washing the pasta under cold water to stop the cooking time after draining. that is something I learned after seeing how my spaghetti got soggy even though I followed the correct minutes of cooking time. well, what I should do next time is to boil the pasta two minutes before it becomes aldente when preparing a carbonara dish...

Sweets for my sweet, Sugar for my Honey ♪♫

~ my current daydream. Stuff I would do til August when job is over at Aetna.

~ with a little bit of magic - like knowing exactly how much ingredients to use and the costings...

~ I imagine buying a gas range oven, sacks of flour and sugar, then a bicycle to deliver my products. I'm just starting small y'know.

~ my products range from cupcakes to wedding cakes, pizza, yemma cakes etc.

Perhaps this stems out from my want of buying a new oven. However, i guess i will have to delay this as i don't see it as a necessity. Guess i'm just a little jealous, or rather inspired from friends and facebook people who post their creations. Not that i love sweets and all, but i like the "Art" of doing such stuff. I kinda excel in my Arts class back in grade school ok, lol. Also, I've been making steamed goodies, like the local puto, banana bread and even sweet tamarind bread. I enjoyed doing them for real.

whoah! so that's a logo, but not my original creation. i just saw it somewhere. Hmm, can't believe how most people think alike. 

Now here's another one, which is slightly different :)

I'm not really going to copy this ok. I'm just amused with the ideas.

You see, I can also create a website for this, other than having a facebook page.

I wonder if i should go full-time on baking,hmm. That would be nice - staying home with Z.

But when the rainy season sets in, then that would be a problem. 

We're in Marikina by the way, and the floods are quite a pain. So, uh-uh. Gotta think of renting some space... hmmm.
