Are you ready for my new book baby? 📚 I have prepared something for y’all. I am glad to announce that I am going to be releasing a new book baby on my birthday month. I hope you are excited because I am.
My mind gave birth to a collection of poems for the past few year. The poetry book is entitled “The Restless Mind”. It is a collection of my sentiments in life, somewhere in my early thirties.
I dwell inside my mind, more than in the outside world. It might leave positive or negative impression how my mind works. I am an introvert and I am comfortable being with myself. But I always want to be with the my most favorite person in the world right now. I always want and need to be with him. Proximity might not permit that all the time and I try to cope with it and pray for it.
In the book “The Restless Mind,” I shared my thoughts and emotions in situations that I struggled with in my early thirties. I need to let them out. I need to write them, so they will not accumulate in my mind and soul. Some thoughts and emotions can be disgusting, but I would like to believe that there are some good things dwells in my mind.
Book Blurb
Am I just grumbling?Endlessly complaining?I confess.I repent.But is it enough
I would like to share this book to all of you. For you to know that you are not alone, that there are people who struggle with these thoughts and emotions like you, and that they can be overcome and they will pass. They will not stay on you, with prayers and cry to God, everything shall pass. You will receive peace from God as He declutter all the unnecessary baggage you have in your life that will not serve a purpose in fulfilling your God-given purpose.
I hope and pray you find inspiration as you read my new book which is scheduled to be released on April 13, 2025. I hope you look forward to it and find a glimpse of hope in it.

Spring is here! It is the season where everything blooms and blossoms. Who wouldn’t want spring season? Personally, it is my favorite season out of all of the seasons. Flowers are out and the greens are starting to pop in the scenery!
This season inspires me to create a coloring book. Flowers and coloring are two of my favorite things in life. Sight seeing a bed of flowers is a feast for my eyes and coloring flowers in a coloring book is a hobby I really enjoy all the time.
You may download a free copy of the coloring book by clicking the link below:
Just give me a shout out if you are having difficulty downloading the book and I’ll give my best shot to help. Have fun! Color your life!

Gulaman is one of my top favorite desserts. It is simple, sweet and healthy if eat in moderation. I like the pink and green flavor. I tried making gulaman for the first time and it didn’t succeed, I did the second time, a little better. I did it the third time and it was the best so far. I love the third try results and now I am sharing you the best recipe of my favorite gulaman based on my experiment.

2. Add evaporated milk, condensed milk, and sugar. Dissolve completely and let it stand for 5-10 minutes.
3. Heat with constant stirring until solution starts to boil. Remove from the heat, then pour into molds.
I hope you like it too! Enjoy!

Sinigang na baboy is one of my favorite Filipino dishes. I love it when my mother cook it for our family whenever we have the budget to spare for a meat viand. I really like it paired with a freshly and steamy cooked white rice. I get to eat vegetables because of Sinigang na baboy. When I was young, young enough to not know the importance of green leafy vegetables, I had really hated eating them, but through this delicious dish now I can get some of the nutrients I missed in my childhood.
I crave for home sometimes and the way to somewhat satisfy it is through our stomach. One of my favorite Filipino dishes is Sinigang na Baboy or pork sour soup. I tried cooking it for the first time just recently and it turned out good or quite decent. I guess the sinigang na baboy I cooked the first time was edible.
Ingredients:
1 whole clove of small Garlic
1 piece medium size Gabi
1/2 bulb of Yellow Onion (White or Red Onions will do)
1 string of Pechay
1 string of Mustard Leaves
1 piece medium Jalapeño
1 medium size White Radish
1 piece Tomato
1 pack of 1.41 oz Sinigang Mix
2 lbs Pork Ribs
Seasoning: Salt
Ground Black Pepper
Fish Sauce
Procedures:
1. Sautee chopped onion, garlic, tomato and Jalapeño. Add salt, pepper, fish sauce to taste.
2. Add 7 to 8 cups of water and put the Sinigang Mix. Boil the mixture with the pork ribs for about 45 minutes.
3. Add the vegetables one at a time: Gabi, Mustard leaves, and Pechay. Add fish sauce and ground black pepper to taste. Best serve when warm.

Thanks to the two complimentary tickets I got from the previous institution I used to work at, my boyfriend and I got to see a car race event for the first time and what more, it was one of the most popular car race event in the world which is NASCAR.
NASCAR, an acronym for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. NASCAR has three national series that it sanctions for racing.In a historic shift for the sport, beginning in 2020 NASCAR’s premier series became known as the NASCAR Cup Series and featured cornerstone brands as Premier Partners: Busch Beer, Coca-Cola® and Xfinity. The partners are prominently featured in multiple platforms across the sport, including integrations in broadcast, NASCAR digital and social channels, event entitlements, in-market promotions and at-track activations.
There were a lot of people walking towards the main event place from the parking lot and it was a bit of a walk. All the parking lots were full packed and I was just relieved when we got to have a parking space because I thought we might run out of parking spot. They did a pretty good job in organizing and arranging all the cars. Kudos to all the staff at the parking lots!
I am not knowledgeable about car racing or more so NASCAR. I had to research for what the acronym stands for. Google search engine comes in handy always and revealed "National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing" as the meaning of the acronym.
The NASCAR experience was fun and awesome. The revving cars impressed us with their deafening noise we had wear to headphones.
We sat in two of the chairs at grand stand near Turn 15. It was loud and crazy everytime the cars were racing right in front of our eyes.
Circuit of The Americas is the premier destination for world-class motorsports and entertainment in the United States. Set on 1,500 acres in the rolling hills just outside Downtown Austin, Circuit of The Americas has hosted the biggest names in racing, action sports and music since 2012. At its heart is a 3.41-mile racetrack that was designed to challenge the world’s most exacting competitors while providing a thrilling spectacle for audiences
The Circuit
Circuit of The Americas is more than a race track – it’s the only purpose-built facility in the United States designed to host the premier motorsports championships in the world, including Formula 1, MotoGP, NASCAR and more. With a blend of sweeping, fast sections and tight, technical corners, Circuit of The Americas has challenged the world’s greatest drivers and riders.
The food at event were extra-extra pricey. I think triple or quadruple of the regular price. Good thing, we brought our own food and drinks. We got to save some money.
NASCAR is an event that I would like to experience but not something that I badly want to do again. I am glad I got to experience the event. We had to leave early to make sure we would not be trapped in the traffic.
Being able to attend NASCAR event for free is a good experience for me and my boyfriend. Zoom-zoom, broom-broom, racing cars!
“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
We were tired on day 3 and desired to rest our feet. We walked less this time, but it was still a lot. As part of our goal to make the most out of our budget, we intended to visit some famous or well-known tourist attraction in NY. Though, we were tired we still walked towards our destinations. Tired, but happy feet!
Places we visited:
Greenwich Village. The place looked so vintage and imbibed liberalism for some reason maybe because from what I heard some of the most famous writers lived there.
Chelsea Market. Another vintage place we went to, and it was so fancy. I ate kimbap beef rolls and it was so good. I got the rolls from an Asian store inside the Chelsea Market.
The High Line. I was not what we were looking for when we were trying to find this place. When we got there, I just realized that The High Line wa like a platform above the service road. It had glass walls to view the slightly busy road.
The Vessel. Another tourist spot that I was not do familiar with. When we got there, the infrastructure looked like a honey comb for me and I did not know what was the purpose of the honey comb like building. The Vessel was near another tourist spot called The Edge and we did not get to see it up close.
Macy's. The world's largest store. Wow! It has scalator made out of wood. Wood!
Edge Hudson Yards. We did not avail this tourist attraction. It was too pricey for and did not make any sense why would I wanted to go there.
Empire State Building. Tall, old, elegant, and wow! We did not do the tour for this one too because it was pricey for me too, and again did not make sense. We just took some pictures outside the building and inside which specifically at the lobby part only.
Jollibee. We missed Jollibee food. The Jollibee branch was at Time Square. Yey! Yum!
Food we ate:
Kimbap Beef Bulgogi Rolls. I had at Chelsea Market. It was a bit pricey and if I was in the Philippines I would hesitate to buy it. But I had to try it and treat myself a little. I felt like I was eating sushi rolls.
Jollibee. Yey! We had fries, fried chicken joy, spaghetti, and pies. Yay! So yum!
Snickers. Sweet treat for my sweet tooth. Chocolate was my dessert.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” ~Matthew 11:28-30
