    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.

    Before we even start, may I warn you not to tolerate. It may be bad for your health, but yeah I would be continuously writing the post to give you drool or envy, that what I'm good at, haha. forgive me for my evil laugh, I just did sinful things that is a definite no-no but I know you would be able to relate, right?



    Why is it that we indulge in those that are bad for our health and are indicated for us not to intake? Why is it so sinful to get a taste of the good things in life? It does make me wonder if hell does offer all the delightful temptations then should hell be called heaven instead? Well, we're all humans and we have our own weaknesses, mine is the sweet delightful taste of Chocolates, cakes and everything sugary. oh, why do you have to be so good? 


    I consume these delightful sweets especially on the days that I can no longer control my cravings. It still reminds me that I am a human even though I was entitled to a doll princess, I definitely became human here. Cravings are the simple reminder that even though I have been endowed by God of this dollish figure, I still would give in to temptations. I do not have a problem with consuming sweets, I don't gain weight after all and the very sole reason is indicated on my health tab above, browse into my old first post and you'd understand why. Going back to the topic, sweets are not detrimental to my health, they even recommend it to me because I'm mostly hypoglycemic most of the time, but I feel a little guilty consuming those in large amounts when I can. Maybe it's because it's been warned that overconsumption leads to complications? So its all in my mind but yeah I still can't understand why I feel very guilty though.


    Another indulgence I cannot halt is with salty fried fries, oh they're just the complement of the sweetness of cakes and sweet shakes. I make them at home too, although when at times I get overly diligent I use the natural effective ways to cook them, very herbal and traditional way of cooking is one way to go. My Guilt is lessened and I feel more comfortable consuming fried potatoes. Although I would only consume this once or twice after 2 weeks because oil is oil, after all, it's not too friendly with the heart and blood vessels in high amounts. 


    Just look at the nice good yellowish color and wait until you get that salty scent of the fries, you know you will give up on it soon, hahaha. Well, my evil side has won and these pictures tell only of the last seconds that I preserved the memories of the temptation food I consume. 
    I tell you guys, don't ever follow me on my temptations or can you?

    . Saturday, April 21, 2018 .

    As I scrolled through my feed, almost everyone in my circle are thinking of a quick summer getaway. They have uploaded their pictures of their adventures which of course involves the sand, beach and somewhere cold. I, on the other-hand have stayed at my room and staying cool as I can. I visit the condo once in a while to swim but most of my time I am at home. People thought that they'd be so many who use the swimming pool but actually it's the opposite.


    Berkeley residences in Katipunan remains to have seldom swimming pool goers so I enjoy the pool all by my self all the time. I get to refresh and revive myself unlike going to public pools. What I just hated the most though is that the new management requires to pay a P150.00 per person swimming pool fee for other tenants than us which makes them a total klutz, how about our monthly tenants then? well, I am on total snob with them for now because I hate their corrupt management.

     Now, don't wonder why I'm always looking pale white because I mostly skip summer, more likely celebrate it before and after summer season. Yes, if you remember I did mermaid-ing already, I consider that my summer getaway and since I did not want to be toasted to the sun, I scheduled it to start immediately before summer season even started.

    For a digital nomad like me, summer may not exist because you can work anywhere, anytime! well, I love my life online but I hate the heat of the sun. It's hard to focus on a monitor when you have heat cramps all the time.

    There was never a day where I never felt a small headache or migraine due to this heat. I did all my means to keep cool even to make a homemade Kakigori or placing ice on top of my head. My God, Global super warming! Even more, that my energy is low during these season.

    I noticed it's not only me who experiences these but I've found out most people have been affected by this hot season. Even my bestfriend feels vertigo due to this heat, I would understand since I visited provinces near her and damn it feels like I am in desert and I won't be able to last so soon with that.

    1. Sweet cool beverage/ ice cream

    Ice cream is on demand at our household, the whole gallon. It only takes us less than 3 days to consume those sometimes in just a few minutes even, imagine how this temperature affect us, ice cream actually helps a lot especially with low sugar levels since I seldom have appetite due to heat then I work, I become hypoglycemic all the time, so this keeps me going until such time the temperature gets lower and I get to cook a meal.



    2. Sour type soup

    Choosing a meal is as tough. Nothing seems to satisfy me, I would choose not to consume any food because the heat had terminated my appetite but I had a few sour soup which helped regain hunger.



    3. Love your chores

    There is but one thing that also kept me very cool and I never thought I would like to do this because the next is actually house hold chores. Yes, You've read it right. House hold chores involving water, washing the dishes and doing early morning laundry. They actually kept me cool as long as I re-hydrate all the time and not push my self too much they do help lower the temps.


    4. DIY cooling pads

    During my working hours, to avoid overheating I would place in some cooling pads on my head. I just do these and insert the iced sheets on wear it with a band. I have these small ice packs that are slim and perfect fit for these cats and it work wonders. I could switch this to a cooling eye patch when I want to! :)

     Just make sure to add in a lot of extra plastic so that water won't drip.


    5. Frequent Bath
    Taking frequent bath may seem to be a chore but it definitely helps a lot to cool down. I schedule baths in the morning and afternoon to keep cool before heat turns on and after the sun has gone down so I could sleep nicely. My bathrobe became my most frequent attire to wear who cares? its summer and it's like you're always wearing towels on the beach, right?

    One of my most favorite invitations is none other than food blogging events. I am a foodie like everyone else out there and even my manager had learned to cook international meals packed with healthy yet sumptuous delicacies to suit my taste or else I never eat any at all. Yes, I am that type of a food critic that my manager chef went through a rigorous process to suit my palate, but because of that, his cooking was known to many higher ups and he got the chance to be a private personal chef to VIPs. I appreciate his best efforts and patience in that cooking.




    Ootd for this blogging event: one piece short sleeved cadet blue,  all straight zippered dress in a ruffled skirt and royal blue undergarment shorts, paired with high heeled glittered shoes.

    For a lifetime chance to try out a Food Truck business located near me, my best invitation came sweet by Ms. Leomy, am grateful for including me in this event. We arrived as early as 5:00 as per her instructions, but when she hasn't arrived yet, we took the chance to round up on all of the food business around.

    The Food Truck is in a dramatic scene as I was photographed a great shot of gloomy skies which intensified colors of the yellow lights of the establishment. Surrounded by strategically stacked container vans to create a 4-stories square shaped infrastructure, seats lined up in the middle and sides.

    Meet the Chairman



    Meeting the friendly Chairman Mr. Joni Cabrera came as a surprise to us. He had introduced and instructed each stall to present their new creations to us.
