Treat Or Cheat Day: Macaroni Salad And Mushroom Soup





Two more days and it's gonna be my off! Yey! So what are my plans? For sure I'm gonna sleep a lot and go somewhere. How about you? What do you do on your rest day? I can say that nowadays I'm enjoying it unlike before that I used to dedicate like all my life to work. Perhaps because I'm getting addicted to one of my hobbies and that is cooking. What else?

WOW Philippines 2024: Discovering Balabac, Palawan — The Most Beautiful Place I’ve Ever Visited (Heaven on Earth)

It’s cold outside—and even colder in my room right now—and I’m absolutely loving it! How are you, people of Earth? It’s been over a week since my short trip to our neighboring country, Taiwan . I went there for leisure and to create new content, and I can confidently say: I’m definitely going back. Welcome to Balabac , Palawan ! True Paradise!
