Just like that, we’re already entering the fourth quarter of the year. Kind of insane when we’ve spent most of it at home. Just this week, my brother had the Christmas tree set up in our living room. There are markers to remind me that we are moving forward even if it feels like most days, we’re just stuck.
Music Monday
Because of my niece, I’ve probably listened to this song more times than you can imagine. Just a few months ago, it was her adorable Blackpink cover (which I have saved on my phone for days when I need a pick-me-up) and now this. LOL!
Tasty Tuesday
What would this monthly round up without food?
Started the month with these cookies from Mrs. Graham’s 
Homemade tacos 
Banana cake for a change 
These kahlua cupcakes survived the ride to GH 
My first buko pie! 
Shakshouka for one Sunday breakfast 
Turned my failed Spinaci Zola into pizza sauce 
Getting better at proportions because of these cookie samplers 
My first quiche 
Garlic rolls 
Decorated pizza boxes for a special delivery 
Surprised Mimi with pizzas 
Found miso online so I tried these peanut butter cookies from NYT Cooking 
Love polvoron and this gives me an excuse to eat it by the spoonful 
Lucky me, I got a side of quiampong with it! 
My first try at creamed spinach
Speaking of food, I finally set up my newsletter! I’m going to try to send out one every week. If you like trying new recipes or just reading rambling from an internet person, . I promise to not send spam (unless it’s the one you eat!). There’s also a box on the sidebar where you can enter your address, if you can’t be bothered to leave this page! I’ve sent out two so far, one of which has the recipe for creamed spinach.
Wishful Wednesday
Gave myself a break this month. Unfortunately, I had two contracts get cut (one a month early and another one quarter less) because of the pandemic. My old self would’ve panicked and just taken every job left and right, but I calmed myself down and looked at my options. I figured I could afford to maybe take it easy for one month, so I did. October is here and I think I’m ready to get to work again. Wish me luck!
Thoughtful Thursday
Pretty lucky that we get a sunset-facing unit. Every afternoon, I try to time my workout so that I’m front row to the light show. Sometimes, I get a little lazy and end up working out way past 6, so I don’t get to see the sunset. But whenever I do, I kind of look forward to the next day. Feels a little bit like a reset. I’ve always believed that things are better in the morning. However bad it gets, you’ll wake up feeling so much better than you did when you slept. At least from my experience.
Fashion Friday
Haven’t been dressing up lately and the only thing I’ve been fairly consistent with are my nails. Obsessed with modern french tips and negative space. Sharing some inspo that I hope to recreate, too.
