    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.

    I've pushed my self hard and I admit it wasn't the wisest thing to do, and I've just started to adapt to new techniques we have at work, adjustments can be hard, draining and time-consuming but I've never failed to reward my self at least a bit of happiness whenever I feel that I need to because no matter what I've worked hard for it.



    After work, I found myself really dizzy and I could not do cooking on my own. It just happens that after hours will be the time people would start waking up and I can invite Meaw over to grab breakfast, he was up for it.

    It took us more than 30 minutes as usual debating on where to get our hunger satisfied and he suggested Tropical Hut in Munoz, one of our old-time favorite places where our mothers usually bring us to especially when it had that Merry go round rides and so.



    It was a morning rush for other people going to their work but for me, It's the start of spoiling myself after a hard day's work. Honestly, it feels good to not be rushing during rush hour.


    I'm delighted actually, Tropical Hut Munoz had renovated their place and even though we like the nostalgic look of the old design, the design is better and the food is still the same. While waiting for our orders we reminisced of the memories with the old tropical hut back then, including the mini rides they have and the taste of the food before.



     Moments came by and the food we ordered arrived.





    We order a lot because whenever we work we don't take breaks to eat lunch. It's a grueling 8 to 40 hours grueling work, It's true. We usually finish 40 hours within 2 days and after the second day,  we are almost fainting. Yeah well, that's the schedule we are still trying to work out to dissipate throughout the workweek, it's still on progress.

    My breakfast is the Fried Bangus, and I can never resist not to have the savory Spring Chicken I've been having since childhood.

    The meal comes with hot chocolate but I don't drink them because by this time I have migraines for straightening work hours. The moment the sugar from food hit my brain I start to feel quite dizzy, actually, this is when my body's warning signs start to work again because it probably shut down. That's why a few days ago, added stress such as my account getting hacked and Facebook had to lock it for days because of activity from hacker, I became sick. I was burning with fever and Meaw Emt did his most famous all-natural remedy, I slept almost for an entire day! When I woke up, I began to feel all the aches my body was having and I could determine what was wrong.

    He knows the ordeal I have been through so even if I still wanted to sleep more the next day, he bought me to Waltermart and treat me with anything I want.







    We actually went to a DIY Store, I also bought hair accessories there which does sound ridiculous but of the two I bought one actually worked with my lengthy hair.


    The store just opened near us and when we came there were a few people checking out. He said he was a bit disappointed as he was looking to find a few creative DIYs like the store name implies, although he seemed to like shopping on the tools around.

    When we got home I hit the sack from my head seriously spinning around and when I woke up I feel fine as if I never got sick at all. He did require me to finish the OTCs so that it's sure I feel better.

    Thank you very much to my cousin CJ for helping me retrieve my account and my friends who still looked out for me. I do feel terrible for not being there all the time but remember that I'll still be here for you even if the waves get rough, just hit me up with a message in my inbox.

    Till next time again, thanks everyone.

    It's October and as the year is about to countdown soon, I can very well say that we have been blessed with bountiful blessings of delicious food. I can say so with my photo gallery is all filled with food! We cooked, discovered and dined to new restaurants, tried new ones that just came out in the market and those little moments I had was truly fulfilling. I seriously didn't mind getting weight as long as I was happy and contented, we watched our diet by cooking at home and focusing on nutritious ones.



    I haven't even mentioned our fridge! Yeah, it was jam-packed we could not open it without things falling over. We cook and ate them as much as we can. I'm glad actually, that even though we haven't mobilized the farm yet, we have been blessed truly. I think we might need a bigger fridge once the farm is mobilized, or better yet give back to the community in my area. That sounds nice.


    Then food hubs opened near the area, yes! A lot of food restaurants, conveniences, hubs opened near us and it's like they know how much we appreciate a tasty treat! We also went back to some of our discovered places and found changes in our favorite picks.



    For now, I will be featuring Hawker-chan, well, my favorite there is The Aloe Vera drink. The vegetable noodles seemed like Senku's alternative ramen and the chicken has peanut aroma and smell. We dined here when we bought a stabilizer which exploded near my face, but the compensation has been paid by the manufacturer, so all is good.

    Anyways, I still have a lot of food pictures in my gallery, I'll be trying to share from time to time.  Next time again.

    Hi there! I guess The Blog is back for .com again, it turns out even if I was willing to let go, it's tough to face the consequence of having to pay for a recovery fee of $80 on top of the domain. Ok, I really am not ready for that, but what I learned for months that passed without too much pressure blogging was the freedom of well... not being pressured and I loved it. I still am up to my resolve of blogging just like how I do when I was starting out. No pressure blogging.

    Yep, I think I might want to coin that term now.

    Anyway, when the holiday season countdown starting at the time of my birthday, we went crazy busy, almost everyone at home got sick, tired or caught up common flu due to low immune system brought by lack of sleep, exercise, proper diet and such. I'm already canvassing on where I can get extra manpower for help. Stress is really high and I admit a few percentages of alcohol helps, although when our stored supplies ran out we might go the extra mile since they banned alcohol near my area because it's pouring of schools! Not the best place to be an adult, eh?


    Anyway, we got the Japanese only alcoholic beverage. We both two of each version since it was on sale at Puregold. It only has 3% of alcohol and we only drink once every 2 or 3 weeks so it's almost no effect but, alcohol in moderation does have it's medicinal benefits. I pair this up with many foods as I can and check the combination... it was heavenly!

    Oh yeah, if you're asking regarding my gastritis, gladly, I got it all under control. All you need is an ample amount of Fiber before you drink or eat any acidic or chili food, do it in small amounts and with food, never in an empty stomach and good to go. The only issue with my stomach nowadays is cold weather, I'm terrible at it and gets stomach pains whenever it gets affected by the cold. I get affected because I haven't brought my winter clothes down yet.

    I've been trying to sort out my dresses each time I can, but lately, the schedule has been overly demanding to health's point. So for the cold, I usually use my Kimono more often and I have a lot of them stored, just waiting for me to use them. I must apologize for the other clients that I wasn't able to answer, the busyness level is a champion to point that I only get an hour or so of sleep during the day and almost nothing during graveyard work, not to mention I wasn't able to celebrate my birthday on its month or had any cake because of this, although I am truly grateful that I get to be able to get better opportunities even before.



    Anyway, lately we dropped by Agribusiness at Circle and we found gems of budget quality products sold, all sustainable! Yes, we had bought things we need and we're planning to do it again! Regarding my sustainable life, we're still ongoing to that practice and it is rewarding.







     Then, we went to a garden restaurant I found on the internet, budget-friendly, and experience of eating without a spoon and fork again! To be honest, I was surprised they do it that way cause I didn't check, but that's the beauty of it, the location is beautifully hidden with a hide-away door.





    In the end, my domain just had a vacation. So did I and I would love to do it again.



    . Monday, July 29, 2019 .

    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.



    . Thursday, July 04, 2019 .


    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?
