    For the past years, the above questions has helped me in doing my yearend reviews.

Last year, my 2018 Yearend review is here – Passion Projects and Breakthroughs 2018.   This year, I’d like to create someone new.

    #KusinaNiKayne: Lechon Belly

    #KusinaNiKayne: Lechon Belly * * * Hello there Creatives! It took us sometime to decide on what to prepare for Noche Buena this year. But as I browse Youtube, I got some Christmas food suggestions and this one rings a bell! So I convinced Kokobear to do this. Luckily, he said yes! :)   We had this, Japchae, Laing and Fruit salad! <3 So, without further ado, here’s my first try and (pretty much happy with it) LECHON BELLY! :)   You will need: 3-4 kilos of pork belly (slab) 15-20 pieces of garlic 1 big onion 6-9 pieces/sticks of lemongrass 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup of lemon juice…

    7 Financial Goal for 2020

    Fifteen (15) more days before the year ends and indeed like many of you, I’ve also started creating my Year-end reviews. One of the many aspects that we all must check and reflect on every year-end or in the beginning is our finances. So I thought of sharing 7 Financial Goals that I would like to do/achieve (or already doing) for 2020. 1. Stick to a Monthly Spending Plan Many of us might be that kind of person who actually have a spreadsheet crossing out (or highlighting) our expenses and at times, you’d probably notice yourself that you’re deviating to your actually budget. So this 2020, commit to sticking on…

    Mantle of Protection 26102019

    A couple of weeks back, you’d probably notice this FB status… A few extended their concerns asking what happened and if we’re okay. Yes we are. Praise God! I know, either you don’t care or it’s not your concern, but I opt to share this story to my readers and at the same time use this opportunity to release emotional and mental chaos around my head. Right after what happened, I can hear the loud screeching sound of our bus. Right after what happened, I felt an abnormal pain at the back of my head down to my shoulders… I guess these were traumas. So, here’s what happened. We left…

    Take A Year Off & See The World

    Every day, you follow the same routine. You get up. A quick shower followed by a warm brew and a bowl of cereal, and you’re ready to leave the house. The commute to work is the worst part of the day, whether you’re driving or using public transport. Thousands of other people like you are heading to the office. They are packed in the train like unwilling sardines, victims of the rush hours. Every day brings the same stress and crowd. Until one day, you wake up feeling a little more tired than usual. The motivation has gone from your body. You wonder if taking a day off will bring…
