28 C with a lovely breeze – January is really the best month to be in The Philippines. It is not boiling but it is sunny, plants are green and happy, and the sea turtles are a dream.

Lately, I’m obsessed with
I turn to food when I am happy, sad, relaxed, hormonal, stressed, tired, and so on. Food is good. I do not need to be hungry to eat. It is not the healthiest attitude in the world but it is sure one I believe in. This love of food I inherited from my mother, whoContinue reading “Lately, I’m obsessed with”

Over the weekend, I managed to put in some work in further greening our backyard.

It took three tries until I finally settled on a grouping thatContinue reading “Touring my backyard, literally”

What we thought was the usual thunderstorm last night turned out to be a furious whirlwind.

Essentialism vs Minimalism
There are many ways to live, and for us, we love to keep it simple. Micah and I try to be essentialists. This means we do not own anything that we do not need. Everything has a specific purpose. Nothing in our closets, bags or storage areas is there because “we may need it atContinue reading “Essentialism vs Minimalism”
How to live slow and have a more meaningful life
Increasingly, I feel like a character from a Disney movie in the 1940s, living in a small wooden cabin under a green canopy, getting food from the plants outside, and doing chores in a ridiculous old-fashioned way (yes, we air-dry our clothes on a clothes line with pins), with a soundtrack of birdsong in theContinue reading “How to live slow and have a more meaningful life”
6 Easy care houseplants for beginners
Since our traveling came to a halt last December, I really got into houseplants and gardening. It gave me so much joy as a beginner because plants are easy and they respond so well to care. It feels so calming, being surrounded by green, too, as if I am in a forest, safe and nurturedContinue reading “6 Easy care houseplants for beginners”
