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? I can eat anytime and definitely I can do anything or everything under the sun. And as a way to thank all of my readers on my blog. I wanna share two of my recipes you can also try on your rest day.

Mountains of the Philippines 2026: Mt. Pinatubo (Hike for a Cause: Walking with Purpose)

Hola a todos! It’s been super duper rainy these past few days—like, every five minutes! I hope you’re staying dry and safe, especially if you’re here in the Philippines.

I have a few little things I’d love to do with mi familia, but nothing too grand. I think I just want to keep it simple, just like the previous years.

I’m incredibly grateful for all the blessings He continues to give me, for the people He has placed in my life, and for the opportunity to be blessed so I can also be a blessing to others.
