Wine Tasting #6: French Carignac

Hi, all! Lock-down has partially lifted, and people are slowly pouring out of their homes to get fresh air after being staved for months without it. For myself, I remain at home until things stabilize (we're still seeing spikes in COVID-19 cases, which may or may not be due to the loosened restrictions). That has …

Recipe: Garlic Chive Pockets

Hey folks! It has been a long while since I last posted a recipe on this blog, and I'd like to get back into that. Considering that I've been pretty much stuck at home, I've had plenty of time to try making a few new dishes, and I'd like to share one of them with …

Where to Travel after COVID-19?

The world is currently on lock-down, and it seems unlikely that things will return to normal soon. It's not just a matter of being able to merely step out of our house, but also for travel. If anything, the travel industry will be the most-heavily impacted, and honestly, it'll take a couple of years for …

Rating Every Noah Centineo Film I’ve Watched

Since being stuck at home due to the pandemic, I've had plenty of time to catch up on films and series that I've otherwise neglected because of work. I even had the time to get back on Netflix and watch regularly, which has included many of Noah Centineo's best hits. It's no doubt that he's the "It …

Wine Tasting #4 & #5: Spanish Sauvignon blanc & French Merlot

Greetings, folks! I didn't write about wine tasting last week, just because I had other posts I wanted to write about. However, I did wine taste (as well as this week), so I'll catch you up-to-date with what I had, as well as if I liked them or not. Technically, where I live (Los Angeles) …

Questions I Asked my Mom (Mother’s Day 2020)

Last December, my mom passed away after a year-long battle with brain cancer. She had been mentally deteriorating prior, first in May with a sudden "mini-stroke" and then a coma in December two weeks before her passing. It was absolutely painful to see the gradual decline of her health throughout much of 2019, which made …

Mother’s Day 2020

Hello, all. Today is Mother's Day in the United States, and this year, I am kind of at a loss of what I should do, let alone feel, in celebrating this holiday reserved for maternal figures, whether biological or not. There's a lot of conflicting emotions associated with it all, which hadn't been the case …

Stories of How I Was Useless: “The Sexy Septum Girl”

Hey, folks! Not long ago, I had flashbacks to times not too long ago when I was being useless. What do I mean by that? In other words, it refers to being involved in a situation in which I am talking to someone who *romantically* likes me and has given plenty of hints expressing that …

Wine Tasting #3: Australian Shiraz (QUARANTINE Edition)

Greetings! Having spent about a month at home due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, I have had a lot of time on my hands. Most of my days are spent writing, exercising, applying to jobs, and of course, eating. Might not be a whole lot to it, but when you’re stuck at home, activities are …

Things I’ve Been Doing While in Quarantine

It has been almost a month since I began self-quarantine (yay, COVID-19), and so far, it has been quite interesting. Not to say that it's been so eventful, but rather uneventful in the sense that it has, in fact, become eventful. ...okay, that didn't make any sense. What I'm trying to is that it has …
