I needed to decompress and relax. So far…I dunno if it’s successful.

I’m just dreading Monday.

I was hankering for eggplant today so I made this eggplant omelette.

I’m just trying to follow my wants and needs to soothe myself.

I have to fix my attitude towards work because I hate my job right now.

I think the dry season has started. I can now sit in my pseudo-balcony to breathe in fresh air. The Department of Science and Technology has declared that the El Niño may peak in April, a month earlier than forecast. So this cold spell may be short-lived. I had been sleeping without AC most of the nights for several weeks now as the cool mountain air with the help of my wall fan for aeration has been sufficient.

I just want to freeze this moment when I can be lazy, seemingly without any worries for tomorrow. Enjoy this momentary peace.

I should be thankful that I still have a job right now that allows me to stay at home for most of the time and provide for all that we need and some extra. I shouldn’t focus on the shit thrown my way last week and the aimlessness that I had felt weeks prior.

Maybe, just maybe, I need to detach my value as a person to my job and just focus on the things I like to do on the side, such as starting my garden and paint more and hone whatever minimal skills I have.

A company sent its belated Christmas gifts to me today and one of those is one big roll of lechon belly. I sliced into three pieces so they would fit in the air fryer I bought before Christmas.

I told myself after I was discharged from the hospital last month that I would no longer eat fatty pork. Oh well, I was tempted tonight.

I don’t need an oven anymore 🤣. I think I can make cupcakes in this air fryer—well in the first place this is essentially a convection oven in a different form. It’s convenient to use in the mornings when I’m still a mombie (mom + zombie) and only half my brain works. I had cooked a perfectly crispy bacon in this by just setting the temp and timer right and just left it while I took a nap. My girls are old enough to feed themselves breakfast.
