Sembreak goal #1: Learn to cook French toast


"Seriously? French toast? That's so easy! How could you not done it well?", perhaps this is your reaction towards me. 

I am not good at cooking.  

I learnt making French toast from my guy cousin. Sad to say, he's better than me. As I arrived home from the city, I was thinking if I could make French toast for my family, so I told my father I would buy the ingredients. Last Saturday, I couldn't find cinnamon in the supermarkets (I actually visited 3). So I ended having just milk and eggs for the ingredients.

Yesterday morning, I was juggling in the kitchen while making French toast. I actually made it correctly, but it was tasteless (???). What else can I do? No cinnamon found. My French toast resulted to an egg sandwich instead. With this kind of situation, I think I'll spend more practice to master French toast! 

My father introduced us to Villa La Selva resort. We had our lunch there yesterday. I was amazed as I saw the place because I didn't expect it to be a large fish pond. It was a floating restaurant hidden in the woods, with a garden at the side and a wildlife park. It was newly opened. The moments where not captured though because my phone isn't good with landscape. Their Bistek Tagalog was delicious since it has a slight twist of flavor, something sweet, sour, and a bit spicy. The place was very solemn and I like how the wind play with the nature.

Favorite Milk Tea Flavors In Our Local Shops

Milk teas/bubble teas/bobbas are one of my all-time favorite drinks. I don't know but I really love the taste of tea with milk and a bit of flavor in it -- it's a perfect combination! I fell in love with milk teas the first time I tried it eight years ago when I went to a famous local milk tea shop, Chingkeetea . I tried their classic wintermelon and I can't even...it was like heaven for my tastebuds!  Since then, I was fond of drinking milk teas and I had it regarded as my comfort food.   So far, Chingkeetea is the best in making bobbas among the shops I have tried. They have a distinct tea flavor -- it's incomparable and I just want to say that I'm proud of the owner's prowess. The shop was originally a feasibility study of a student in our college and it was, I think, the first bobba house locally and I was so amazed how her business boomed. And because her shop was near to our school we always had a drink before going home. Nowadays, milk tea shops are al...

How Genuine Self-awareness Change My Game?

It's been a year since I realize I was missing this piece. The very learning I needed to acquire to survive. It was so naïve of me, somewhat a pity to not know deeply its meaning. I have been through shitty times in the middle of my med school years and   knowing about this now made me think that I was really on my edge during those dark times; and I wasn't sure how I went through it given that I was so helpless. Nevertheless, genuine self-awareness was the fruit of that storm. Self-awareness is so over-rated. We've been taught in school or by motivational writers/speakers on knowing ourselves - our strengths and weaknesses. The things that we want and we don't want, even our insecurities - everything about us in and out encompasses a genuine self-awareness. But the thing is, on self-growth, being aware doesn't end there. We often overlook the very essential element that comes with it and that is its importance. So why do we need to know the importance of being self...

Promoted + My Plans For Summer

  So our school year just officially ended last June 3 and it has been a waiting game for us to see our final standing. Been spending most of my first few weeks of summer staycation playing games and updating my blog and finally, a letter of promotion was sent through our email…   AHHHHH!!! I'm officially a senior clerk 😭😆🙈🙌🙌🙌   This pandemic was really a unique ride for me. But I think it's also a learning experience that I needed to put in my heart to make better choices in the future. I was always on the edge this school year but at the same time continuously mindful of my thoughts and ways of coping. I was better than before but not much, so I wanted to let this year be another stepping stone that would help me become good even more in the future.   At last! I can finally say I'm academic-free now! Two months of summer break but I think half of it will be spent in our pre-clerkship orientation and training. Also, I usually spend the last month r...
