Borrowed Shoes Theory

Today I experimented with airfryer-baked cheese omelet and it turned out well.









While at Nichols, I was preparing post-lunch dessert of avocado cake ala mode with creamy avocado ice cream.  While the seniors were eagerly awaiting their share, auntie Annie grabbed half the slice of cake on her plate and stuffed it into her mouth.  She couldnt wait for the icecream...  she raised her hands in supplication saying "thank you Lord!" when I was scolding her to "wait!"

Appreciation post for Gil


Parking here this post which I can add a little bit by bit throughout the day to say "thank you" for all you do for my family, for the scholars and for the patients.  You have chosen the simpler life of service, adhering to what is essential and important to you.

Daily posting


Sometimes we can post everything that social media throws at you no matter how it touches us, because other people might think hyperposting is a symptoms of an underlying pathology.  So to keep note of those tear-jerker and aha posts, we send it somewhere else that is no-so-mainstream media, like Sleepless in Cebu.


Sometimes we don't understand why things happen or why we are receiving these messages but it is important to know how to listen, not just to the noise outside but also to the silence within.  



No matter how loud the noise is in our heads, we can find a way to quiet down and calm ourselves so that we don't quit.  We keep on struggling and pushing and plodding on, but we never quit.  We never give up.
