    Trixia Salonga

    Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights.

    One overcast day, we spent time for a quick check-in for a guest, the day is a painting of a cold cozy time, we didn't take it the slowest but we had a cherished each moment that pass by. I've been obsessing on Lo-Fi music lately and I saw a local artist even made a simple scene from everyday life with Lo-Fi music, it was sweet to see dreams are fulfilled. I thought my own and I admit I took a longer time to recuperate from happenings last year and the threats lately are becoming a nuisance and took some time to resolve, but I let myself take all the time I need. I know that it was not usual of me to take a long time to heal however, I understand that I am in a different level of challenges and facing major exams that no school can teach.

    So I let myself heal... and I'm glad I did.

    I took my baby steps and people were surprised at my progress, even I was surprised. I never knew that all I need was to step back a bit and I'll spring up even higher; all I need was a time off for myself and appreciate all the wonderful things around me.

    I couldn't believe my eyes when I took on a challenge, it was not a new hobby, but those that I was not good at before; at least I thought. They came in naturally, I was my own guru.

    The biggest part that I feel did a great contribution was when I 'moderately disconnected' , yes I can't fully disconnect or I won't have a way of living. I was also thinking of maybe removing those that I feel do not contribute to my growth, mostly persons in my list, I'm trying out a screening process and I feel that it's better, I'm not used to burning bridges, can't do that cause I use that for work. So, since I could not avoid the situation, I used some of my knowledge in technology to provide an alternate option, I'm hoping it works, so far it's 2-3 months of observation and I'm loving the result.


    My patience reflected on how long my hair is. Gosh, It's even longer than my usual wig and quite coarse at the new hair on top. I love the outcome that I see, my hair feels it had it's own vacation in a while. I thought of cutting it but I feel manager wants a real haired Nezuko, so I think that won't happen yet. 


    It came out effortless that my skin looked pale when I played with the filters, I can pass as a young medium length vampire and even the weather was agreeing! It was cloudy and about to rain, 
    it's perfect for a budget ramen, a walking distance from the condo, at U.P town center, we went round and round looking for what we know looks like a normal food area for mall but took us more than 30 minutes in finding and when I came upon what looked like a store, we were surprised that it was the food court we were looking for at second floor front area! Ramen costs only 99 pesos and I bought in as usual, Sinigang. You know I wouldn't pass opportunity not to have my favorite meal, right?



    That's U.P town budget food court, I've taken fancy with Ramen 99 and Adobo connection.
    The whole place is airconditioned, it's really comfy to eat warm food even it's hot outside, there are many seats to accomodate everyone. I'll gladly look for the best gems in the area, a budget friendly food hunt. 

    Even if we ordered food with Ramen 99, we sat at Adobo connection where I ordered their Sinigang with rice and iced tea.

    The ramen broth is light and the pork is soft, to be honest other than the pop up store in laguna, this was my 2nd ramen to taste, next time, we're planning to get an authentic one to check the difference.

    We went back at the suite and it was already refreshingly cold from the last time we were there, so comfortable and the bed draws me in to sleep, the best part is that with a fast connection and cable tv, we've watched so many movies we can till the client check's in. We thanked the condo for serving our guest in the future amd that it will give the best vibe it can to make their stay comfortable.



    We went in to check U.P town and meaw was so excited to see a Suzuki Jimny 2018, he said the reason why is that this is the representation of Pacquiao, the one of the smallest 4x4 offroad, a legend! He won an umbrella in a dice game.



    The view is just breathtaking from the top of the suite. Actually every 6 am or the time when sun rises, the whole place looks like an ocean as the area up to the mountain ranges are covered with clouds that looked like waves, amd shore is visible below.




    A four leaf clover drawn at the Miriam University's field, signifies a great luck, which we had cause we won the dice game!




    Till next time of visit again. I wish I could spend more time here and possibly have another pool dip again. I'm missing it.

    I always loved rainy days, it floods on our first floor but it doesn't matter, why? Well, I find myself more productive during rainy season. Summer would always get into my head and heat pressure is too much that I can't take. It would be nice if it was cloudy to shady even and if there would be rain, I wished it'd rain in La Mesa Dam and Angat Dam where water is needed the most.

    This past few rainy days, there were two depressions that past by namely Dodong and Egay and believe it or not, it was not with these two that we got flooded, it was only one night of a Thunderstorm alert from Pag-asa and most streets and villages flooded, worse is water level at dam wasn't affected, but when everything is mostly dark clouds during the day, I've convinced my partner to have my most favorite soup, sour soup.



    It was maybe what my body was telling me to increase my immune system because at the trip to grocery I immediately got worse colds and asthma, I couldn't breath. We bought in ingredients of the sour soup for home cooking. The photos I'm showing to you was at Fishermall, it was a rainy day at that time and so cold I forgot to bring a jacket, stupid of me. Anyway, he was given sour soup too with his Pancit with crispy shredded pork on sides, says he wasn't too hungry at that moment. 

    His gazes from my far left shoulder became more frequent and I've asked him the reason, he said he saw someone familiar, of course with my acknowledment to greet that person, he said that person is busy spending time with loved one and looked as if didn't want to be bothered, it was a comedy a few days after because that person did recognize him but was thankful that he let that moment be spent peacefully with family and that his voice could be clearly heard from where that person is sitting. 




    The iced tea felt that it was a complete irony and gave me shivers at the end of my meal again, but imagine the sourness of the soup then followed by sweetness of iced tea, it wasn't so bad after all. 

    Rainy days ended abruptly, I was a little sad since it's tough to work on hot days again but I can't wait to look forward to another cold shady season once more to have a different bowl of soup. I was thinking how about a boiled bone soup next wouldn't be all that bad, wouldn't it?

    Yesterday, we had to meet someone in Makati for business and that's when we saw several KFC branches in the area. People there seemed to be in the best mood since the day feels nice and cold, a few rain drops lowers the hot temperature of summer and because of that, the place is inviting to go for a walk even with foreigners. 

    We chose an overlooking view of KFC, mostly because my partner failed to the notice the bigger branch we just passed by. Anyway, the branch was tiny and at that time their comfort room is under maintenance, I held my self which I hate it, I've done hydration therapy first thing I arrived at home.

    Alright, so the garlic butter chicken. When we were about to sit I had such an embarassing moment when my stomach growled loudly that the group where I would be sitting stared at me. I could not look up and just played with my partners new phone. The line wasn't really long but it took 15 minutes till he got all the orders, I don't know why it took such amount of time to finally get the food.

    When he sat, the garlic and butter aroma seeped through my nose, I helped her arranged the orders on the table and got very oily hands which I tried to wipe out with a piece of tissue, the garlic smell could not be removed. So, if you're going to try this out, bring a sanitizer!

    Moving on, the chicken is drenched in oil, I am expecting my neck would hurt again from hypertension, I did not eat breakfast anyway that's why I'm famished. The butter rice was aromatic as well, and when I took a bite the imagination that seeped through was myself enjoying an asian breakfast in a nipa hut surrounded by locals enjoying their first course of a meal at home surrounded by nature, the dish was cooked by their household cook. The chicken skin was slightly crunchy and extremely savory, a small bite squeezes so much oil and you'll need to wipe it down immediately because your lips will most likely be drenched in it. 


    A warning though, I did not expect the chicken to have spiciness, it's not too spicy though, but I worried my stomach would react since I did not have breakfast and I might end up at the hospital again, gladly it didn't. 

    Since I did not have the opportunity to have breakfast, this completed the lack of my first meal, I finished the rice quickly and went to order another rice, but they gave us a plain one even if we asked to buy the butter rice. 
    Anyway, the second try with the plain rice wasn't as satisfying unlike the butter rice, I even felt that I could not finish eating it since they didn't jive with the taste of the chicken. 





    The inner part of the chicken was nicely cooked however, the taste was bland, the flavor stayed concentrated mostly at the skin area.  We paired the chicken with fries and sprite a splash of freshness of the soda hit the spot of great thirst and tingling sensation on my throat, I couldn't stop drinking.





    It was fun to watch people crossing the street while dining in to my favorite food chain and to try their newest offer was a great treat to enjoy a new taste, something which I've been hoping for. However, it would be nice if they could serve us the butter rice on the second round.

    Today mark's the hottest temp of Metro around 35°C in the whole year. I thought my weakly body starts to disappoint me once again especially when I am on a tight deadlines but no, it was real. 7-11 gave the best chilling aircon than my room but we couldn't stay for long, only for brunch.

    I returned to my workspace at home and tried to finish the projects with blurry eyes, almost exploding nape and world turning round and round. After that i couldn't work anymore. The heat is killing me despite the aircon. I imagine myself on my senior years, if i'll ever experience this heat by that age, i'll probably die of heat stroke immediately.

    While I try my very best to stay cool, my favorite mango graham shake store was far away from where I am, I miss the 7-11 ice cream cones but I wasn't in the mood for dairy type desserts, I couldn't really make up my mind to catch grabfood even though I can.

    I really miss the having this mango graham shake. The seller, she was like a korean, really pale with blonde wavy shoulder length hair, she was friendly unlike the other who served, and with just P50.00 i get this large sweet size which I find it challenging to finish.

    The mango graham shake came right on time when my favorite Frostee closed down, I will never be able to taste my most favorite creme brulee at my favorite market.

    I have finally finished watching the Kemono ni Narenai Watashitachi (Weakest Beast), it felt heavy in the heart, the story similar to life situations, I can't really say it was a great ending but it felt more of relief for the main characters.

    To be honest, it urges me more to drink and eat ramen noodles.

    The next thing that happened to me last month was at the heat of summer, I've marathoned Game of Thrones for work. It was truly addicting and perfect timing to finally watch it after many years of wait. I would usually wait till the season is almost over or over so I can marathon a series.

    Now that I was able to watch the till season 7, it never change the fact that my favorites are Khal Drogo and Khalessi



    Well, I can say it is difficult to imagine snow in the summer heat but it does help divert attention from the heat sometimes. I've finished work with Game of Thrones in flying colors and I couldn't wait to watch the last season.

    Another line of honesty is that I am devastated upon the news of Supernatural going on an end, it was inevitable but they are icons and the story writer /script writer was phenomenal. I actually watched another series of somewhat similar show and I get so irritated for an actor imitating Dean. I won't drop the name of that show but I definitely cringe because instead of giving life to the role he was assigned to it was merely a fabrication of Dean's character. Well, it was done there and I was relieved I don't want to ever see it again.

    Well, moving on, I've been into binge watching Lucifer , I find a good chuckle on their humor but still with  a drop of similarity to Supernatural.



    I'm not really here to compare them with the series but I can notice the flow and angle are similar. I like the humorous script though.

    Well, that's all for now, next time I'll update again for what's new. Do you agree with me above?

    I must be blessed. Last time we were out and just walking inside a semi house hardware store near the area, I came across a rare find. It was sitting on a shelf top but no ones takes the interest to pick it up and by the moment I wore it, I understood why. It was just like in cinderella's scene but I didn't have a prince to put the shoe, I did so myself and the size blew me off, it was the perfect fit. I thought it was just waiting for me, when we saw the price was only for P299, it was a good bargain. Finally a kawaii lolita shoe, surprising that it also pairs with my favorite hand sewn bag.



    I dream of finally waking up my lolita side, many a times did mom shown me my child lolita dresses yet I have forgotten. The dreams that was created and how magical that world is.


    I definitely miss the frostee shop which closed at hypermarket, it was the treat of the moment after a long grocery I hate it.


    My favorite sweet Filipino treat, Espasol, a sweet powdery rice cake wrapped in white paper, very natural and organic that melts of goodness and sensation.

    • Mom gave it to me and I immediately had flashbacks of my childhood sweet escapades. Maybe next time I'll do a full lolita photoshoot with my newest member of the shoe family. Till next time then.
