Why The Love for Cooking

Cooking is the kind of daily routine that you do to feed family and friends. But there are people who do it because it's so fun. Yeah, sure, it can be disastrous, but it can also be awesome. Being a person who hates routine, I tend to research a lot, collect recipes, experiment, and try them out to see the reaction from the people I feed.

It's the kind of joy only people who love to spread joy to the people around them.

I know there are people who simply cook or make simple stuff for the sake of survival...and that's perfectly fine. Nobody should judge anyone in these circumstances. And there are so many different ways to cook too! So exciting.

Just like marketing, writing, and singing...things right up my alley.

Bottom line is this - mopping the floor every weekend and ironing clothes is the most painful things for me. You do them and then you have to do them over and over again. Where's the fun in that? But I am sure there are people who thrive on that.

We are just made different. Our priorities lie at the other end of the spectrum where we find satisfaction of being alive.

Whenever I try something different (exotic recipes I got from the internet) and they like it, there is so much pleasure. I give up on eating anything. Watching them devour everything (teenagers are hungry people, mind you) is so satisfying.

I have not been cooking for the past few years, sadly. Ever since the pandemic lockdown where I felt the brunt of the complete lockdown, I enjoyed the convenience of delivery food, without calculating the cost of relying on them.

Cooking at home is fun, guys. It's cumbersome and absolutely tiring but it's worth it.

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...
