Once in a blue moon, we make proper tea in a proper cast-iron tea pot.

Thankful to have been given this genmaicha--the only kind of green tea I actually like.

I will never get used to the NATO alphabet. As in, I panic every time I have to spell out something, and the person on the other line is expecting me to say, "Charlie, Alfa, Bravo..." I usually just spit out random words like "umbrella,' "banana," "Nancy," "igloo." 😩

There's a difference between "watch out for" and "watch for."

Watch out for = be vigilant and cautious about potential dangers

Watch for = look forward to something; pay attention

Ergo, you don't say, "Here are new movies to watch out for" when you actually mean "Here are new movies you should look forward to."

A lot of headlines make that common mistake.

(Reposting) Sharing here my love letter to #Manila.

It's a city that often elicits a bad impression, but I hope that in some way, this missive will allow you to look at the country's capital in a different light.

"But words are never just words. When you condense an entire people – thoughts and hopes and dreams and all – into two syllables, you reduce them into what they are not. Over decades, the word “huan-á” has become loaded with a derogatory taste. We are our people, the words seemed to say, and they are not, branded instead as foreigners in their own land."

I used to subscribe to Good Food Community during the height of the pandemic. They source straight from farmers and advocate for fair trade. Got their small tampipi, which proved to be too much (content-wise) for a tiny household like ours, so hubby and I decided to cancel our subscription.

Still, it was through Good Food that I discovered unusual produce like ice cream beans, which really tasted like vanilla ice cream!

I'm picky when it comes to fruits, which is a tragedy considering the many varieties in this tropical country where I live. My usual faves are ripe mangoes and pineapple. That's why I'm so glad to discover my love for mangosteen, which now makes it to my top three faves. 🥰

How about you? What's your top three fave fruits?

Since restoring my phone to factory settings, I've had to re-login to my Microsoft accounts via Microsoft Authenticator. But I can't log in to my work account using it. So now I'm in a log-in loop.

It's the most useless app ever!!! 😤
