I baked this!
One of the best things I learned during quarantine is baking--thanks to my aunt and Chef RV Manabat's YouTube Channel.
So far, I've learned how to bake chocolate chip cookies with walnut, fluffy mamon, and cheesecake--all from scratch! ☺️ I was able to bake and help cook some viands as well. They all turned out great. For a newbie, that's something to be proud of haha!
For my birthday, I baked my favorite blueberry cheesecake. It's still not perfect, particulary the sides still sticking to the pan lol. At least it tastes really, really good. 😁


I feel like the first try, the one I baked for my parents' anniversary, looked better--no cracks/breaks, but they taste the same. Hindi nagbago. "Parang Starbucks pa rin", sabi ni papa. That's an accomplishment.
But of course, you aim to do better. So the next time I bake this, I hope to avoid the cake sticking to the pan. Shortening or butter, maybe? Haha!
Chef RV said, it shouldn't stick, but remember, "you are not Chef RV" hahaha. I hope to figure this out and have the perfect looking and tasting cheesecake.
I look forward to more baking recipes!
P.S. My chocolate chip and walnut cookies are really good. My officemates, friends, aunt, lolo and parents can attest to that! 😆
Thank you Chef RV for creating a YT channel! 🤍

Bracelet stacking
STACKS!
So, that's how it's called.
I have been stacking bracelets since I was a kid. Never thought it was really a trend until last year. I have always been a fan of bracelets. I actually didn't care about the brand. As long as it looks good and it's not irritating my skin, I'll have it!
It is only recently (2-3 years ago) that I knew of and learned to appreciate Pandora, Thomas Sabo, or Tous Jewelry--mainly because I could not afford them back then ha ha ha.
Little secrets by Thomas Sabo have been my staple bracelet/s for 2 years now. I got my first Thomas Sabo bracelet at a discount. I looove SALE items. Wala pa akong nabiling bracelet na hindi sale. Hahaha!
Those karma beads are pretty awesome as well. It actually looks good with that pearl open bangle from Tous.
Mix and match--same brand, different brand. Nasa pagdadala lang yan. I think bracelet stacking is a trend that could last a lifetime.

The downside of being 'too formal'
When you are too formal and you write thinking about what others would say about your writing, you end up not to writing at all. In this case, NOT blogging.
This has to change.
This is probably why I have not been blogging as much as I want to. Haha! Medyo perfectionist.
So, here I am taking to myself:
Bear in mind that this is YOUR space. You are free to blog about whatever. You need not be formal. You write what you wish to write, what you feel, or what you think.
This is your space, self.
Kaya mo nga magpost sa FB, Twitter etc. People are harsher there. This blog is your safe space.
Blog as often as you want.
Deal?
DEAL!

Popsockets!
Loving these new popsockets. I think it's called Pop Grip now. They also have Pop Tops but they still have limited designs available in the Philippines. With this Pop Top feature, you can easily change designs unlike before.

I bought the classic Pop Grip and and the Pop Grip Glide Stretch.
The Pop Grip Glide Stretch is awesome because you don't need to stick it on your phone or phone case. It is adhesive-free. Simply stretch and instantly grips onto your phone and/or phone case.
If adhesives don't bother you, the basic/classic Pop Socket/Grip is also a great option since it's less bulky esp. if you have a phone case.
I would recommend either. Ungrip can also be an option, esp. for the guys. I think guys would prefer that one because it's more man-ly ha ha ha.
