    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.

    Around 10 years old attempt of Rosalinda cosplay with grandpa


    Grandfather prepared and warned me about this future over and over. He stressed that there will be a time that will come that we won't be able to go out of the home freely as we wish to and that a 'silent war' might happen.

    'But I thought countries are all friends now' I said. 'For now' he replied and continued giving me instructions on how I could prepare for such a situation. Grandfather is a world war veteran, he is a role model among our family. He was one who walked in the death march, carrying all the strategies on survival as well as intel for years to come.

    As the years passed, everything he taught to us we're slowly forgotten, some of it even we're forbidden, but I remembered. Now, I feel most at the guilt that I could not carry on his mission to me. However, I met someone with almost the same frequency as his, although sometimes careless on a side but there are points that are on him. He said that the orders can be carried out easily but when such a time comes that we can freely do it.

    A month ago a friend went out to visit his mother ( a senior citizen ), he went all out protection with mask and suit, people laughed at him on his commute at the bus and didn't sit next to him. Later on, we found out that there were people there that have now carried most number of PUIs and PUMs cases in the country with the initial cases relating to his family's friends.

    Supposedly a 'reunion' of the sort from one of his relatives was not invited because only those that can join are the one's who worked abroad and with $. Then the news broke out, it was just like karma to the ones who discriminated against his relatives and a blessing to his relative that he was forbidden to join. The incident paid the price for everybody in the whole region because they were already warned not to travel at that time due to the events, but they pushed through with the 'reunion'.

    Now, when he traces his travel time, he said he did notice some of these people traveling in the same direction as his and they kept a distance from him because they think he might be weird or infected for being on full protective gear. All these stigmas turned out to be a thankful moment when he realizes that he might have gone on the same bus with these people and the sacrifice was worth it.

    These days when he goes out, instead of being feared or judged, people trust him even more since he has the complete protective gear, unlike others.

    I promised grandfather that I would protect his precious gem, but sometimes I have to be honest I give commendation to the old man how he was able to. The gem is stubborn as hell even when everyone around it has warned about this issue, the gem does the opposite of what shouldn't. I left to mumble my apologies and tears to his ghost of how this slips off my hands. He did warn me about the stubbornness of the gem and I underestimated it when I was around 10 years old, promising that I'll take care of it for him.

    Back then, I feel I'm left with no choice and didn't understand why it feels that the universe wanted me to stay working at home. I am faced with consequences when I became stubborn and stayed working at a company. I thought to myself, my promise I made to God that I'll just train outside for a while is up and I kept on going, I too am stubborn. Now, I understand why I am pushed to my limits in seeking work from home. All my prayers answered in one event, just like that.

    The work from home wasn't the only thing that God gave to me. He trained me to survive not going out, did that at Tamago and it was worth it. I didn't understand the value of these experiences before and now they don't compare to any lesson in the world.

    When the news broke out to me, I've already seen posts from my chinese friends, yet, it feels too unbelievable so we didn't prepare at first. Now, it seems that it will turn out for worst. As their government says they are free of the cases, some of my chinese friends caught footages of their fellowmen on the floor, passed out and no one dares to touch.

    My collegue told me, there would be wave after wave of resistance and immunity. It will be turning out for the worst. I only felt a feeling of envy at the time I saw my doll idol and I never thought I'd feel envy again with South Korea. My friends there posts like normal again, as their medical systems on detection and quarantine we're so effective, it only took them short time to solve the worldwide issue. It seems to be far from my hopes as more people become stubborn and won't abide by the quarantine even for a short month's period.

    He told me that the funds would need to focus on detection, facilities and equipment for quarantine to make this work amd that he fears that by sometime the special 'team' would be dispatched soon, which should not be brought to that extent as they are one of the last line of expertise for this scenario. It can't be avoided, because the wave seems to focus on a macho showdown and they'll be awaken by a time that all are worse.

    I feel down and to be honest, my productiveness dwindled immensely. Anxious of everyday especially hearing news that there already affected area a few villages away.

    It's a no wonder grandfather always wants me to fulfill my dreams. He says that not only did they not have this opportunity before, but a time will come that we might be able to do these things when people take them for granted. Looking back, I've fulfilled most of the things I love to do, although I still have plans for more in the future but they would be prioritized according to importance, there would be changes to come and I am hoping they come true.

    Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. 1 pound of saffron (450 grams) costs between 500 and 5000 USD and the reason behind its strapping price is the time and labor devoted in cultivating and producing the actual produce.


    A specie of the flowering plant called crocus sativa commonly known as the "saffron crocus” or “autumn crocus”, saffron is said to be originally cultivated in Greece but today, saffron is being grown in the Mediterranean, East Asia and the Irano-Turanian regions as well. 
    The history of saffron use spans more than 3,500 years, extending across cultures and continents. From the grounds of Cleopatra and old Egyptian pharaohs to the scientific complexities of the modern times, Saffron has been used massively to treat several illnesses such as heartaches to hemorrhoids. Aside from those, the spice is also widely used by traditional healers and people with medical background in warding off inflammation and treating some cardiovascular diseases.


    In the culinary world, saffron is a great addition to many international recipes such as bouillabaisse (a French fish stew), arancini (Sicilian rice balls), paella (Spanish rice with clams, sausage and chicken) and simple steamed mussels in tomato sauce.

    Here are 5 more impressive health benefits of saffron.

    1. Saffron helps alleviate depression Saffron extract may support mental health partly by increasing levels of dopamine and norepinephrine. Generally, the spice’s effect to people who suffer from depression is comparable to that of standard antidepressants (Ristic, 2020)
    Also, both the saffron petals and thread-like stigma appear to be effective against mild-tomoderate depression (Raman, 2019). 

    2. Saffron may reduce PMS symptoms Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a term that describes physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms occurring before the start of a menstrual period. Studies show that saffron may help treat PMS symptoms like irritability, headaches, cravings and abdominal pain (Raman, 2019). 
    A different study found that simply smelling saffron for 20 minutes helped reduce PMS symptoms like lowered levels of the stress hormone cortisol (Fujui, et. Al, 2016).

    3. Saffron helps alleviate asthma. Children who have asthma or have difficulty in breathing can benefit from saffron. The spice generally helps in clearing your child’s airways from inflammation. It is also a good quick fix for asthma attacks.

    4. Saffron helps in reducing acne. Saffron is known for its anti-fungal properties, fighting germs and bacteria that cause whiteheads, blackheads and acne. 

    You can make a face pack by cashing basil leaves along with a few strands of saffron. Apply the paste on your face for about 15 minutes and then wash it off with cool water.

    5. Saffron can help with insomnia. Saffron has mild sedative properties that can possibly babies and adults who have  sleep disorder. You can include 2-3 strands of saffron in a variety of drinks or you may opt to take saffron supplements that are available in the market.
