Kusinera in Japan

Enoki mushroom roll,tabe!!
Fruits roll naman daw ang trend ngayon😂.

I heard enoki ang most peg ng mga non-japs. We prefer other veggies like asparagus,long onion,eggplant and okra though.

But this mansanas & pineapple pork rolls were for the win too! Ang unique at refreshing sa tastebuds. It’s like you’re eating ulam & desserts at the same time. Sarap din papakin!

One thing i like about the Japanese would be their consistency & curiosity in exploring the food world! Everyday imposibleng wala ka madaanang channel sa TV featuring food.

Ang lawak ng cuisines nila kahit japanized or fusion pa kaya kahit iba-iba ang ulamin for a month,doable at possible talaga!

Kung kami ni dawter ay porda zuzyal klaymbers ang paandar at peg yung mga estetik na pa-gurlalung kainan, yung mga bugoyz naman porda cowboys na medyo mala-PG (petey getem) kung kumain dapat dun sa mabilisang hapagan dapat🤣.

Bakit nga ba ke bibilis kumain at ngumuya ng mga kalalakihan ano🤷‍♀️?

Parang kumakain lang sila para mabusog…kami kasi ni dawter ine-enjoy talaga bawat nguya.

Just like any other season of the year, autumn or fall also has its (super-duper-mega) enchanting kemerut effect—>at least for me.

Imagine kahit naglalagas na eng gende-gende parin! Sana all debah~

Panahon ng taglagas reminds me that “letting go” of old habits,relationships and beliefs shouldn’t make me feel guilty or regrets. That “embracing change and transitions” are natural,necessary,and can be beautiful—>not fearful!

Kaya iba talaga ang impact sa’kin ng autumn. It’s the most wonderful and mesmerizing season of the year…that’s also just my POV.

…boring but peaceful‼️ Others may perceive aloneness as lame and pathetic,but if i could turn back time hahangarin kong sana mas maaga kong natutunan ‘to! Mas naawa ako sa sarili ko dati when i was seeking (too much) companionships and validations.

I love my solitude,the art of doing nothing,time to reflect and tulala moments habang nagkakape are now my kind of luxury!!

I genuinely enjoy my own company and do not want to rely on others. Not anymore. Ang liberating nung “i can do anything i want-whenever i want without having to wait or adjust for someone which usually (only)compromise and complicate stuffs”.

I can honestly say i am happier now than when i was active and in constant gatherings and the like.

So yeah,i am choosing this boring life!! I lav’et‼️ and i am sooo grateful to God tapos na ko sa era ng sobrang pakikisama and aligaga moments…
.yung sobrang busy na sa pag-aasikaso ng mga maliliit na anak/pamilya tapos madami pang gustong idagdag gawin kasi may gustong patunayan sa buhay🤣.

Juice colored salamat talaga na-overcome ko na yung ganung way of thinking…🥹

Sometimes though i miss and still wants to hang out kasama ng kokonting kabigan. But only once in a while would be perfect for me😆.

Yung panganay ko na 2 buwan ko lang hindi nakita,bakit kako bigla siya nagmukhang TOY POODLE🤣. Ako na nanay nya eh kyut na kyut naman sa kanya😂!

When i only get to see him every 2 months (more or less) at si Shion once a month,hanging out with them is what i ALWAYS look forward to talaga…

Now that they’re (young) adults and still calls me “mama~~” (pabebe tone)minsan it feels kinda weird😂, but it’s like music to my ears at the same time! Parang ganern😆.

That JOY we feel as parents knowing na gusto pa rin nila umuwi ng madalas and be with us🥹,it indeed kinda feels like a success already(?). Sabi ni hubibi nung college at working na siya he barely comes home,once or twice a year lang daw.

Hindi kami demanding at entitled na magulang,we understand enough that adulting stages eh sobrang busy talaga lalo they do part time jobs habang nag-aaral. Kaya sobrang naa-appreciate talaga namin pag nauwi sila.

Oh little moments…big MEMORIES indeed!!

Ang saya sa bahay pag nauwi si Yoshi & Shion. Kaso pag umaalis na ulit sila back to “empty nest” syndrome na naman ang mudrakelz ng ilang araw. Pati si bunso longing din sa kapatid,palibhasa ang layo ng age gaps nila…

Struggle is real pero letting our adult children go doesn’t have to be a sad event. It just shows we’ve raised strong,independent pips ready to take on the world,ganern!
Pampalubag loob ba😆.

EAT, TALK, LAUGH (out loud!) & cry a little.

Adulting and profound conversations with dawter. Sorting out her future plans too. Wag mag-alala,we’ve got your back bebeger!!

Emegeeeddd! Ako mismo di makapaniwalang darating sa ganitong level ng minimalism🤣. Sa mga nakapunta na sa aming munting hawla,alam nila na madaming abubot at anik-anik dito noon (bago mag-pandemic).

Covid season alone taught me a LOT of lessons. That spending on and keeping unnecessary material things aren’t really worth it and fundamental in life. Natuto ako not to rely and expect too much from people too,kay God lang dapat…and that I am responsible for my own happiness.

Habang tumatanda talaga nag-iiba na ang point of views natin sa buhay no. Sa mga nangyayaring kabilaang trahedya en eberiting,mapapaisip ka din talaga kung “ano ba ang importante sa buhay”…

Ewan pero di (na) talaga ako nae-excite sa mga materyal na bagay. Mas gusto ko nalang mag-spend ng quality (& quantity) time at pera sa mga experiences lalo with loved ones at pagkain syempre eheh…feeling ko din waste of time na mag-invest ng time,efforts & emotions sa mga shallow & fake connections.

Hindi na rin ako naghahangad ng sobrang yaman. Basta healthy kami,ma-provide lang mga necessities lalo ng kids ko at makain mga cravings na lafang sobra-sobra-sooobrang grateful na kay Lord.
