    In a few years time, clean air would be the most expensive of all. This concerned me after a painful encounter with our neighbors car gas cleaning in front. I feel that my lungs are cemented with car exhaust air. That explains why meaw's lung health has been worse and worse, but since he already had experiences of sort, he already have some plans to create a shielded atmosphere from all the house issues if it will be ours. The neighbors hide in our location to clean their gas air so that they will not get caught when they are in public highways, but this surely affected our health tremendously, although meaw keeps telling them to stop, they continue doing so. I don't know what to do really.

    Pictures of a greenhouse filled our mind as I fear that we could die sooner with this worsened air.

    Or we might just move into a province instead.



    This just gets worse and worse but I couldn't give up the location because it is convenient, and of course, complete.

    I told him that we should have most of facing on the other side where there are no cars, we only have issues with someone flashlighting nosy neighbors but its not a health hazard.

    I'm concerned that we could get to live longer with this kind of environment, so I must do the things I want to do before that tragedy hits me. Life expectancy is low in the city due to pollution.



    Theres always been a warning that in the future, air will be expensive. Yes, you'll be paying for it, thats why I could not give up the wide land area we have so we can have trees all around, and when we did a once year trimming, we all get worse affected by their exhaust. I feel guilty having to have them trimmed. It was done because the plants were uncontrollable, but next time I'll just let it be. It seemed to protect us from this issues. I can't wait for meaws blueprint to be implemented if possible.
    I plan to do it with our other lands, create a whole natural ecosystem oasis in this polluted world. That would be a dream.

    To be honest, its hard to influence my family to switch in ecoways, they've used to the fact of using plastic items for almost their whole lifetime and we sometimes argue when I remind them to not consume plastic, yet they still come back. I've had meaw switch to a wooden toothbrush, he is now switching back to plastic again, why? and after all these months of tries. Wooden toothbrushes tend to attract mold, our first floor where he usually leaves his toothbrush is always flooded and leaving your toothbrush there to airdry is a bad idea. I reckon that most of our wooden furnitures has molds in it, and its hard to convince the owner to either replace or throw them away, there would be no argument since its always an authoritarian relationship we had.

    Loofah switch



    My first experimental step was changing our old sponge to loofah sponge, my first thoughts include will it effectively clean? How long will it last?
    To my surprise it lasted more than 3 months before it became really soft or mushy but after the experiment, we've monthly change sponges for sanitation purposes. This one lasted 3 mos, done only for trial period. Some observations on use that you'll have to use a bit of muscle to sponge up greasiness, because it'll stick and you'll do at least 3 or 4 washes if you're using light pressure, but I didn't feel guilty with disposing the used loofahs since they degrade easily and environmentally friendly.

    Our trash issues has problems with snack wrappings, something I can't prevent my family from switching to different snacks, cheezy wrappers, tortillos, 711 food wraps especially at busy times. Those are things that I see we find hard to avoid. Sometimes, I thought of maybe subscribing to healthy meal delivery, but I've been warned since my stomach is sensitive plus the cost, so I've dropped the idea.

    One time we did the bunch cooking for a week, the ones we did when I was studying medicine at Laguna. Stored in freezer and just reheat it, early planning. It was a great convenience and budget friendly, we even saved money for a new gadget at the end of the week! However, the next weekend, schedules poured in like waterfalls and we were not able to conform to the bunch cooking again.

    It was short but I loved how time saving bunch cooking is, and we had spent time together cooking a fun activity plus healthy and you're sure of the handling process. I'll invite them to do this again whenever we can.

    The wooden toothbrush



    I've ordered a bunch of toothbrush at shopee around 10 pcs for 100 pesos, it was great, till I saw plastic packaging inside, it did feel I still consumed plastic. Anyway, my first thoughts include is the bristle soft? Will it make gums bleed? How long will it last? Is it sanitary to use?

    I've used them for 5 mos now and influenced partner to use at the same time, but he said he'll be switching back to plastic. Why? Yeah molds and comfort are two things he didn't like. He said his gums bleed and molds tend to get attracted, so he had to change frequently. For me, it was bleeding gums, but it didn't mold since I store it inside a dry container in the cabinet. I will continue using it but I wish to find a supplier that won't use plastic packaging.

    Eco Bags



    My first step was to buy my favorite eco bag with a print of a cute sleeping dog named paningning. It was small, however I have more of them coming from my blogging gigs, I've collected them near door area so when we go out, it'll remind my partner to bring one eco bag. We were able to exercise for 4 mos but on 5th month my partner grew tired and forgot to bring them anymore. Sigh.

    Traditional japanese cookwares



    This one is my favorite, since we needed new cookwares and I'm swooning over the ones koreans uses on their videos. We have blessing of japanese thrift shops in our area, the best part is that the ones I brought was never used, kept and almost brand new! We started with clay pots, wood cups, rice wooden scoops.

     Claypots are the steal, they cook everything enhancing flavor and good temperature quite nicely! The cups are light and visually pleasing yet they tend to break easily, but its only worth 15 to 20 per piece and I needed to exchange only one so its fine.

    Small cute rectangular plates were blessing, they were being sold in munoz shoe store, yes shoe store sold for P 10.00 each and we took them all, we didn't find out at first but it was plastic.

    The cursed iron cast

    My partner was taken at the sight of a heavy black iron cast soup cookware, he didn't even inspect it but when we tried cooking on it, we noticed a taste different. There was rust underneath and it got into our food, we're fine except for the recent trips to bathroom. He says he'll need to clean it before using it again.

    Japanese art tray



    We scored one almost brand new tray that just arrived for a price around 200 pesos. It came with a box, so artistic, I didn't throw it out, kept it and used as storage for other things. The tray is bigger than usual plastic trays bought on superstores and the art oh, the art is made by japanese artist, I feel guilty to use it, but I have to use it that's why i bought it.

    Glass food container

    Glass food container worked great in preserving cooked food, I stored sinigang in it for 7 days and it perfectly preserved even with veggies, the downside with it is that it comes with plastic lid which secures it well however still is plastic. This practice was a real time and effort saver, for cooking food ahead for one week means that I won't need to cook for the next days again and that leaves me to only cook rice instead, saves so much time and effort!

    Were still a long way to go with our practice of eco ways, right now I couldn't help my family to stop consuming plastic carbonated drinks, heck they'll kill me if I try to stop them, so what we only do is bring them to recycling shops nearby or whenever a magbobote comes by and buys our plastics. How do you think I can convince my family not to consume plastic wrapped chips or plastic carbonated ones when they feel that it saves them a lot of money and effort, also whenever they buy something outside, how do I convince them everytime not to have it in plastic? It's tough but if you have anymore ideas, it would be a great help if you can suggest.

    Last time I hosted my set-up kept me comfortable. I'm starting my minimalistic eco-life and following Condo's rule with clothes. So far, I've added this to my minimalistic investment looks that sparks joy!



    I never knew I had this piece. The shorts are Freyed Hem that was given from meaw's collection and 
    the leather cotton and polyester material was unforeseeable attribute of comfort and perfect for a weekend casual occasion. 

    My top is a spaghetti strap cotton top must be the type of jersey fabric, it holds a certain warmth but since it is open neck and arms, it comfortable at summer.

    The top is longer than what is pictured here but I styled it by tucking it in.


    The V-necked shaped top adds flattery to my small chest giving the illusion of bigger bust.



    The freyed hem shorts at first sight looked like it undone from sewing machine, but it's a style for a simple plain colored leather that shouts a statement for street fashion.



    My two toned hair can be made to look similar to Anime character, Nezuko, a cute vampire.



    The sides of the leather shorts has a red polyester fabric label which I thought should be removed but it is also part of the style.


    My floral foot stockings keeps me warm from the chilly tile floor of the suite, it has 


    I've kept my makeup simple and just applied a droopy eyeliner for that soft look with brick color lipstick.


    Next time, I'm planning to have my closet purged again and I will have my preloved items on sale at facebook, I will be needing a huge space since projects keep coming up, and I'll need more space. Stay tuned when I post and if there's anything that you might like, just send me a message.

    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?
