<span style="font-size: 130%;">There are days that you want certain things to happen but instead of sunshine, there comes rain<br /><br />...that you wanted pancakes for breakfast but you only have cereal<br /><br />...that you craved for ice cream in the evening but all stores are closed<br /><br />...that you wanted a white Chuck Taylor but only the red one fits you<br /><br />...that you wanted to watch Ice Age in 3D but when you get to the movie house, they don't have the 3D feature<br /><br />...that you wanted the whole day in Disneyland yet you only get a few hours<br /><br />...that you wanted a strawberry smoothie but they ran out of fresh strawberries<br /><br />...that you wished for a good parking space but you get none<br /><br />...that when you asked for Mango iced tea and you get soda instead<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...that you expected for an ultimate orgasm but you only get foreplay.</span><br />

And I barely got any sleep last night. I have a sleeping problem that is why morning shift doesn't always work for me. Anyhow, I sprinted to the tram stop right when I got out from the building. Just when I was a few meters away from the stop, I saw the tram pass by. It came 2 minutes earlier than scheduled, and the next one is coming in 12 minutes, yet. I saw a bench nearby. I lied down while no one was watching, then took a selfie. The next thing I knew, a guy was standing in front of the bench. Darn, I fell asleep. I stood up and shyly offered half of the bench to the stranger, but he refused.<br />
<br />
Stranger: No, thanks (then he smirked). You seem tired. Haven't you slept last night?<br />
<br />
Me: No, and I just came from work. It's a busy day. What makes you say so?<br />
<br />
Stranger: 'Cause you were snoring. (big smile) <br />
<br />
Good thing, I was wearing my sunnies. It makes it less embarassing. <br />

Some threats like " 2015, you better be good to me" . Before moving forward, let us not forget about 2014. I would like to take this moment to thank and give credits to 2014 for what I have been through.<br />
<br />
In 2014, I started a job that makes me fulfil my promise. When I was younger, I watched this film " In Her Shoes". After watching the film, I said to myself that someday, wherever I may be and whatever job I will land on, I will make time to work, volunteer, or visit a nursing home and care for the aged on behalf of the family who cannot be there for them. At least for the last few days of their lives I will be able to provide care and support them. I know it is going to be lonely when your family could not be there for you and all the more when you feel helpless. In addition to that, I am now working in a Jewish organisation, and most of the residents that I am dealing with are survivors from the Holocaust. I have been fond of the movies from that era. To name a few: "Fidler On The Roof", "The Sound of Music", "Life is Beautiful", and my favorite, "Schindler's List". It is with great honor to be caring with the survivors who went through starvation, stripped off from their rights and properties, as well as mental and physical torment.<br />
<br />
Although I had a bad start in my work dealing with colleagues, I stayed strong and determined not to give up. For the good shifts and good staffs that I have been working with, thank you. And for the not-so-good ones, thank you for making me realize that I am stronger than I thought I was.
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, juggling with studies and work is very challenging. Not to mention, sleepless nights doing research and writing essays. Thank you for pushing to my limits. It is then I realize I can do more and better than I could.
I am thankful for my family, new found friends and old ones as well, for standing by me and making me happy in so many ways.<br />
<br />
To 2014, cheers! It was a hell of a ride and it is all gooood! Thank you!<br />

It was either we avoided the crowdy shops or, we avoided impulse buying , or we apparently don't have funds for shopping. Either way, I think it's a wise thing to do... wise on the pocket. Instead, we hosted a " bring a plate " ( a potluck party for the Americans ) party with friends. Wearing fancy clothes, or red outfits for Christmas party already bores me. So we decided to have an " Ugly Christmas jumper party ".

It is a multicultural place composed of Islams, Buddhist, Hindus and Jews. And everybody is working on Christmas. It's kind of lonely here especially when an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) is spending Christmas away from home. But ... they say that happiness is a choice, so, loneliness is also a choice.
I spent Christmas eve preparing for "Noche Buena", a feast that Filipinos traditionally partake at midnight on Christmas day. I cooked the savory while my roommate, a patissierie student prepared the dessert right when she got home from work. The other flatmate, helped assemble the meringue into a cone shape, resembling a christmas tree.

From the suburbs, I moved to the city to get closer to my university and to where I work as well. As much as possible, we made the apartment as homey as we can. A home away from home.<br />
<br />

Throw pillows, throws, lamp, flexible wooden man and phalaenopsis orchid from IKEA. A place, where I consider you can never come out empty handed. Their building was built like a maze where they keep the customers inside as long as they can. The items sold are very tempting and lure you to pick up few impulse purchases. It is a trap but a beautiful one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plastic chair, synthetic turf and potted plants are from Bunning's Warehouse, Australia's largest hardware and household stores. Not to brag, but we have the prettiest balcony in the whole building.<br />

Plain and Printed. Rent is dear here in Melbourne.

The view is just awemazing . It’s the best time to read, write journals or planners, or perhaps just gaze at the view with an empty mind. We went to Brighton Beach where the colourful bathing boxes in Australia are located. Actually, we first saw it in a Samsung advertisement. So we looked it up. When we got there, the place was too beautiful not to have photo opportunities. We got preoccupied on getting good shots that we forgot our purpose of going there. Anyhow, we will go back next time with little less of pictorials and a little more of the reading, writing or simply enjoying silence and the view.

All roads lead to the city. Thousands of people flocked to the city to witness Melbourne’s fireworks display. Some rocked at the concert in Federation Square while some laid their mats on several parks and gardens of the city, and picnicked while waiting for midnight. And to top it all, New Year in Melbourne is to experience the adventure of the metro train ride. The trains were filled to capacity, to the extent that you wouldn't worry falling from standing with nothing to hold on to because people are tightly packed inside. Nevertheless, it was all good.

Things got busy applying for a job while on school vacation and as usual, I suck on time management. Anyway, catching up ---- on Christmas Eve, my housemates and I went to a birthday party. We partied and chatted with fellow Filipinos in the community till 1AM. And on Christmas morning, we started the day hearing a Holy Mass. As time went on, I watched the tellie while chatting with my sister <a href="http://lildivine.blogspot.com.au/">Lili</a> on Viber, the best communication application for people miles apart. My Christmas day may be boring for some, but for me, nothing is boring when you are happy and in so much comfort doing the things you love.<br />
<br />
The next day, the 26th is Boxing day. It is like Black Friday or Thanksgiving day for the Americans . Everything in Melbourne is on sale; sale over sale; discounts over discount. My friends and I didn’t spend boxing day or post-Christmas day in the mall, rather , we roasted on the beach. We had sandwiches and of course, Christmas isn't Christmas without the Kris Kringle. While people up north are having a white, chilly Christmas, people here down south are enjoying a hot summer one.<br />
<br />
Our sunny Christmas is a holiday paradise.

I must admit it did not go as well as I expected it to be. It was too soft for me. I guess, I must have boiled them too long than it should be. I boiled them for about 25 minutes. I only ate one sweet potato and set aside the rest. The next day, I thought I must do something with the leftover. I went to the grocery, then I saw and bought a pack of filo. Filo, phyllo or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllo"><i>phyllo dough</i></a> are paper-thin sheets of unleavened flour dough used for making pastries in Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisine. It is often used in croissants, turnovers and sometimes, empanada. When I got home, I mashed two sweet potatoes and sprinkled brown sugar. I only mashed two just in case the plan would fail, at least nothing much would go to waste. And then, I gingerly laid down the filo pastry since it is too thin that it can easily rip off. I scooped the mashed sweet potato and placed it on top of the filo pastry. I rolled it and sealed it with a dab of water. I tried to brush some of it with egg as what my sister <a href="http://lildivine.blogspot.com.au/"><i>Lili</i></a> suggested. I placed it in the preheated oven and waited for the pastry to brown.

I didn't really like it that much. I'm not even proud of it but, it wasn't bad for a first time. The sweet potato was sweet and the filo pastry was crunchy and tasted good too. However, I think I should have used more filo pastry in each piece to make it more thicker. The fillings breaks out after a while since the wrap is too thin. Moreover, it doesn't even look pretty. Next time, I'll wrap them in prettier designs,like a triangle perhaps or a pretty roll. More effort and luck next time.crybabyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07166010576629582848noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201330824754639282.post-66266468022185727212013-12-09T03:38:00.003-08:002013-12-12T17:20:59.699-08:00Sipping Pina ColadaI should be going to the library this afternoon and go for grocery shopping but the rain kept me home. I'm the kind of person who's not fond of bringing an umbrella, it's an extra effort for me. When in a middle of a shower, I would rather get wet than bring out my umbrella and worry after on how to store it when I arrive to wherever my destination is. Anyway, it's just rain. However, when it is really pouring hard, then I practically have no choice. Today, I wasn't in the mood to walk in the rain and embarrassingly drip rain water inside the library. I decided to stay home and listen to,<a href="http://www.buenavistasocialclub.com/"> Buenavista Social Club </a> as I imagined myself in a tropical island, sipping pina colada.

An addition to my ambitious bucket list is to see them play live ( click <a href="http://crybabytatum.blogspot.com.au/2009/09/31-things-to-do-before-i-die.html">here</a> ). crybabyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07166010576629582848noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201330824754639282.post-81391317385532513092013-12-09T02:18:00.000-08:002013-12-09T22:35:06.268-08:00Passing AfternoonA girl with a curly hair pays a bunch for a hair rebond while a girl with a straight her gets a perm. When it's pouring rain, one wishes for sunshine but when the sun is shining so bright, one misses the cold rainy day. Life is complicated as it has already been. When I was in the Philippines, I crave for Italian dishes, Japanese bento or a greasy Chinese food in a take out box. And now that I am miles from my homeland, I am missing Filipino foods.<br />
<br />
A nearby store sells sweet potato for a $2.99 a kilo. Sweet potato or " kamote " in Filipino. For a second, I was battling with the thought whether to fry it with melted sugar on top or just boil it. It was actually a no brainer, of course I opted for the healthier option and the easiest one. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crybaby/11285282206/" title="P1014820 by cry_baby, on Flickr"><img alt="P1014820" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7453/11285282206_1343a4a476_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>

I cleaned it, drowned in water and brought it to boil. Easy peasy!<br />
<br />
P.S. This is the first time I have actually made this in my entire life. Don't judge me.crybabyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07166010576629582848noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201330824754639282.post-76912299856237686782013-12-03T14:42:00.003-08:002013-12-09T22:37:51.949-08:00Don't Judge A Book By Its CoverI'm missing the Philippines, therefore I went to an Asian store for some goodies. On the same morning of the same day, my housemates and I talked about Filipino dish and one of which is " sisig ". A popular Filipino dish made from pig's face, ears and liver seasoned with vinegar, soy sauce, calamansi, chili peppers and et cetera. Unfortunately, I never really learned how to cook "sisig" and it's one of those days that I crave for some. If I want to feel less homesick, I go to an Asian store. And so, I came, I saw and bought a canned " sisig " of Purefoods.

I'm afraid that what seem on the cover of the can does not reflect to what it really looks like inside. A clear example for " Don't judge a book by its cover" . Oh well, marketing!

And she dragged me to come with her to the mall. While on the verge of finding that perfect thing, a chocolate shop beacons. Koko Black. We went inside Koko Black and drooled over displays of chocolates. Then I said to myself, " No way I'm giving in. This is way way sinful ". We immediately went out from the shop but after a few steps from the doorway, we went back inside. A sudden urge to give in. The shop was too tempting to refuse.<br />

<br />
I had Chocolate Affogato ( $8.50 ), a carafe of hot chocolate poured over a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Affogato is italian for " drowned ". From the traditional Italian dessert, gelato drowned with espresso, Koko Black created a chocolate version for the chocoholics. The whole concoction of vanilla bean ice cream and hot chocolate drink is superb making it more creamy. A perfect union of ICE cream and HOT chocolate drink. You can either eat it with a spoon or drink it from the glass. I did both. The whole serving comes with a cookie treat which tastes like the traditional Filipino baked polvoron.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crybaby/11115178316/" title="20131129_130837 by cry_baby, on Flickr"><img alt="20131129_130837" height="360" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7338/11115178316_6bf6271fce_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
She had Hot Chocolate ( $6.50 ), their signature beverage freshly brewed to a traditional Belgian recipe. I got to taste her drink too. It was rich, creamy and flavourful. It was not too hot and not too cold. For her, the temperature was just right. But I prefer my hot drink to be hot, not warm. However, taste wise, it was heaven in a cup.<br />
<br />

<br />
And we shared a traditional platter of chocolate which includes two pralines, florentines, chocolate cake, mousse and ice cream. A Belgian spoil. The mousse was divine; scooped perfectly with a little surprise inside. The pralines were of perfect crunch. I did not get to taste everything on the platter, my gut could no longer endure another bite, the chocolate affogato left me with a heavy stomach.<br />

<br />
<br />
Service was fast and the attendant took time to explain which one is which from the dessert platter.<br />

You can tell a chocolate parlor serves good food when the place is packed. Good thing there were two tables available so that we need not queue outside.<br />

And the hopeless romantic has spoken. It was just last night that I saw " The Great Gatsby " and I fell in love with it. I can watch it over and over again. It is a revealing story of what a man is capable of for love; a story of a man whose hope is high and boundless. It wowed me that there's nothing else I want to think right now but find the 1974 version of the film and look for a copy of the book. I even woke up to a dream of being born rich in the 1920's twerking with all my might in a party. No, I'm just kidding.<br />

" So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past " - F. Fitzgerald<br />
<br />
" I wish I had done everything on earth with you. " - Daisy<br />
<br />
" And I like large parties. They're so intimate. At small parties there isn't any privacy." - Jordan<br />

Not to mention, the soundtrack is simply beautiful. Listening to it, transports me to the 20's or the Prohibition period where drinking spirits gives an edge of danger and thrill that police can break up any moment. I can just imagine myself on a fancy dress and expensive fur coat in a speakeasy party walking in slow motion towards my gatsby.<br />

A friend asked me whether the end was of a happily ever after. The way I see it, it is a happy ending yet a sad one. It is tragic yet joyful.crybabyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07166010576629582848noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201330824754639282.post-51675936412105065852013-11-28T04:14:00.000-08:002013-11-28T04:15:36.581-08:00Sweet Chili ChickenI have had lazy days. And by lazy days, I mean, lazy to prepare my own meals. It has been three days of eating bread, crackers, fruits, yogurt, oatmeal, dates along with coffee, tea and water. It has been three days that I have not eaten a real meal and now my mind and my stomach are hungry. As I was visiting <a href="http://www.lildivine.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Lili's</a> blog, I browsed to the list of her recipes. Suddenly, I was hungry for something sweet and chili. Yes, I'm talking about her <a href="http://www.lildivine.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/recipe-sweet-chili-drumsticks.html" target="_blank">S</a>weet Chili Chicken. Coincidentally, I have chicken drumettes in the freezer waiting so long for its time to shine.<br />

Trust me, it's finger lickin' great. Just follow the recipe ( click <a href="http://www.lildivine.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/recipe-sweet-chili-drumsticks.html" target="_blank">here</a> ) and you'll never go wrong. It is great paired with rice, beer or rounds of rum or brandy topped with juicy chit-chats ( as I would imagine. Missing my friends, my drunken-masters friends ). Apart from that, it would be good to munch on a movie night, a variation from the conventional bucket of popcorn or bags of junkies. Try it and drop me an ' amen ' on the comment box below.crybabyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07166010576629582848noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201330824754639282.post-67034565214213389642013-09-06T22:18:00.003-07:002013-09-18T05:35:16.667-07:00One Fine DayAfter attending a Christian service in Melbourne, my friends and I decided to have lunch together, also, to salute their fathers away from home and mine in heaven above on father’s day. We thought of going to Degrave Street, a narrow street with an array of dining options. But, on second thought, for sure, it is full packed knowing that it’s Father’s day here in Australia. Everyone is out celebrating father’s and the father figure day. One suggested to have lunch in St Kilda by the beach. Oh well! Why not! I haven’t been to any beach in Melbourne yet. And so we went.<br />
<br />
As we strolled along the beach, and after approximately an hour to decide where to eat, we finally settled to dine at <a href="http://stokehousecafe.com.au/" target="_blank">Stokehouse Café</a>. The location was good with a picturesque view of the beach, the people and the seagulls. The café was packed which means, it must be a good place then. Although, we waited for 30 minutes for our table, food service was quick.<br />

<br />
I had "Prawn and crab lenguini with white wine and sorrel" , entree size, paired with Somersby pear cider at $19 and $9 respectively. The pasta was al dente. It was covered with savoury sauce with a slight hint of olive oil and topped extravagantly with sliced prawns and crab meats. The pear cider was like drinking carbonated juice with a tinge of alcohol ( approximately 4.5%). <br />

<br />
My friends had " twice cooked duck leg, witlof leaves, roasted pears , candied pecans, and bacon" at $27 and "smoke roasted baby carrots, honey, burnt butter, thyme and yoghurt" at $12. Apparently. the duck leg tasted a bit bland, however the baby carrots were sweet and crunchy.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Smoke roasted calamari,chilli, lemon and parsley" ($15) and "chips, herb salts" ($9). I did not get to taste the calamari, the serving size was small for one person ( imho) but according to my friend, it has a smoky flavor and tender texture. It was not so bad and not so good at the same time. <br />

Meals were quite costly, nevertheless, it was a beautiful experience. Good view, not so bad food topped with great company. <br />

After a busy week, it feels rewarding to take a breather. September one, marked the first day of spring in Melbourne and the people flocked to the beach and the park. It was bright and sunny. The view of the beach speckled with people as the seagulls scream “Mine! Mine ! Mine!” ( from the movie Finding Nemo) was rejuvenating from the stress I went through all week.<br />

It is unpleasant to take a shower on a cold winter morning, but I had to. I was scheduled for training in a high care nursing home facility on an early morning shift. Anyhow, I showered; put on my uniform, prepared my packed breakfast, lunch and coffee, then I took off. The 3-blocks walk to the station was fascinating; I can hear the bird whistling a happy tune. However, for a moment, I got scared and sceptic. I kept looking behind my back to check if someone was following. Amazingly, I never heard birds sing like that. It sounded like the one Katnis mimicked in the movie Hunger games. Moving on, I arrived to the train station 10 minutes before the scheduled departure; time to take photos and some failed selfy’s. I waited and waited, but the train did not show up. Then came a replacement bus, a bus that will take us, me and i-don’t-know -who to another train station. As the bus driver opened the door, he said “Welcome! This is a free ride! “. It felt a bit strange. “Am I dead now? “, I thought. It reminded me of the bus picking up souls in the movie “Heart and Souls”. Crazy thought, I know. Anyway, I got to the next train station and took the train earlier than expected. I arrived to my destination three quarters before the scheduled assembly. Sometimes, things do not always go as planned. There are and will always be reasons to all the changes and the detours. A midst it all, take a glimpse on the bright side. When I arrived to the facility, I had ample time to savour my breakfast and time to settle and set my mind for the task of the day.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Look around, the more power politicians get, the more irresponsible they get to be. As power clouds their brain they suddenly forget everything, like having an amnesia. And as amnesia grows within them, skin grows on them too ---- layer over layer; thicker and thicker. It's like a dreadful disease. Poor thing.</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.vinnies.org.au/about-vinnies-national?link=161" target="_blank">Vinnies</a> is an organization who helps and assists those in
need which are then funded by donations and by holding fundraising. They accept donations whether in monetary or in
goods. They sell the donated
second-hand goods in several Vinnie’s retail <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>shops around Australia.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> And I , myself is also in need. I need a brand new start and
some kitchen wares. For someone who’s starting on a new place,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and for someone who doesn’t buy things in
full price ( as much as possible) , a trip to Vinnies, i must say, a smart
move. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's not only good for my pocket
but also good for those supported by the foundation. Definitely a win-win situation,
yah?!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First day in the land down under. The family so warm and
welcoming whom I’m staying with
temporarily showed me around the suburb of Oz. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We strolled along the
You (not me) , You Yangs Regional Park. Its peaks is of granite . They have a park for picnics; trails for
mountain bikers and humongous rocks for rock climbers and abseiler. It’s a scenic and a fresh place to take a hike with friends and family. We
climbed to the big rocks overlooking a vast horizon. It was so cold up on the
hill I could feel my knees shiver. </span></span></div>
