Why BLT when you've got TLC from a TLT?
Once upon a time, I messed around with tempeh… ultimately resulting in a complete failure of a dish. I had dumped the dry thing into hot EVOO with some veggies hoping to make a yummy vegetarian stir-fry. Horrible stuff it was; I ended up throwing the whole dish away. It crumbled into tiny bits and the whole product was bland and unappealingly sour. A few months later go by which brings...

Sloooow Start
It’s been over half a year and I haven’t really gotten into the heavy labor of my position… well, until soon. I’m a research assistant for the Measurment and Evaulation Research Group under the SDSU Research Foundation, studying thirdhand smoke. More than half a year without subjects; it feels like I’ve been staring at a blank wall all this time and have been getting...
'Arry Pottah
omfg. I’m about to reread the entire Harry Potter series and have a Harry Potter Movie marathon starting this week!! I’m so freakin excited! So excited, I’m over this post. I’ll be spending the next hour putting all the movies onto mi iPad and opening the first book that started it all! Yeeee! Can’t wait to camp outside the theatre with hoards of other nerds! Fun...
Awesome, lost mi keys. Let me know if they show up…. ASAP. Gotta go to work somehow….

Beat That Meat!
I can’t say that my attempt at being veggie was a fail. For the most part, I was able to be meat free for a good few months. The sole event that changed my decision of having meat back in my diet was one lecture and one thorough understanding of essential amino acids for the body. The easiest way to get all essential amino acids in one neat little package is to just, well, eat an animal....

Lentils, My New Best Friend
It’s not that I forget to post recipes; I have tons of recipes in queue ready to be sent. More than half of them, however, are meat based. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t touch meat everyday (please, no, don’t say it!), but it’s not like I eat it! I still cook meaty meals for my family as though I was the Queen of Carne— I do it for the pure enjoyment of...
Living... What?
“Living young”, quite frankly, rings with this daunting sense of immaturity.
Afraid and nervous to grow up. Living is not about ‘age appropriateness’. It’s about the growth and maturity of the mind.
Sure… in some contexts, its fine. But in some other meaningless arguments, I feel like I’m going to throw up.
Yeah, I think I did throw up a bit in my...

Fails.
Well I guess the natural “Toms” deodorant didn’t work out too well. I really tried though! I went almost a whole month using the product, and I would’ve continued if it hadn’t started making my armpits look all chafed. I know you don’t want to hear it, but the epidermal skin cells were flaking off like crazy. It didn’t irritate the skin, it just kept...
Me + Sweets ?
First off, if you knew me, you’d know I’m not a pastry chef. Baking requires pretty accurate measurements— too much flour will result in a very dry and ‘heavy’ product, for an example. Secondly, my taste buddies are more in tune with savory and salts than sweet things. Overall, I can’t say for sure that I’ve given up on sweets— If a sweet...
A Stinky New Years Resolution.
I have an idea of what my New Years Resolution will be: to be more environmentally friendly by using natural products and sustainable energy sources. I still need to create a checklist of specific objectives for my goal, but so far I’ve started out by changing my deodorant to an all natural product. I’ve switched from using “Secret” brand to “Tom’s”....

Toast. (Verb, not noun)
I just got off my last shift of the whole entire year! It’s late. My calves are sore. I’m all sneezy. I need Pepto to cure my digestive system not absorbing any fluid…. if you know what I mean. It sucks a bit since I wanted to go out to PB Bar and Grill to say ‘Yelo! ‘apy bethdahy!’ to the bday ladies Karen May and Jochael! Sorry ladies. I’m physically...

The Scrambled Symphony
Such an epic name for a poorly photographed dish. *Sigh. I absolutely HATE the lighting I have in this cave apartment. I’m working on creating my own little “studio” to take pictures of my food; probably be done mid-January. I’ve been using my iPhone instead of my other camera too. I get too lazy to upload everything. I really need one of those cameras that upload pics...

In Yo Face Boba Shop!
It’s been awhile now since I’ve been meaning to recreate to those damn nommy chicken snacks whose flavor and style remains consistent amongst popular boba shops. I’ve been slowly piecing it together for all these years. When I was 13, I realized shops mainly used chicken thighs for a more flavorful tender texture. When I was 18, I figured it wasn’t dredged in flour, but...
Let's Try This Again-- Foodie Style!
Behold!
I’m back to blogging! (HAH, How many times have I said that?)
…. atleast, for now.
Now that I’ve finally bid my last farewell to my beloved undergraduate career at SDSU, I am able step out into fresh air and breathe again— well, truthfully, that’s incorrect since I’ve been sitting on my bum playing Fat Princess (PS3) and Star Craft II since the...

Life and Life.
We will be attending Aris Pugal’s viewing tonight, as well has his funeral tomorrow afternoon. I wake up these mornings and I still can’t believe it happened. I remember first hearing about it, Sunday morning. It’s weird how emotions creep up on me. I was pissed more than anything else. Pissed at how my neighborhood could get this low, and will most likely get lower. Pissed...

I guess I'm supposed to be gay?
Day something. 16?
BE GAY FOR THE DAY.
Since I’m lesbian, I failed to kiss or touch the boyfriend in any intimate way… I shall wait til’ midnight I guess. I tried to find cuties at Stone brewery when I was there. Eghh. Well I tried. Tomorrow should be more fun. I get to flick people off. My number one favorite thing to do on the road. WoooP!

GAHHfeeeeee!!!!! (coffee)(coffee)(coffee) WEE.
Okay. Now that school is officially out of the way for a week and I just finished a looonnnng piece of SHIfT at work, I will resume my adventures with “This Book Will Change Yo Muthah F***** Lyfe” tomorrow.
Technically… today.
Day 15, I believe, asks me to be a gay for the day. I don’t mind that at all actually. I’ve had my share of lesbianism in the past. It was...
Day 13 & Day 14= mild FAIL
I really was going to do Day 13. Really. But I realized that it would just be a waste of 5 minutes of my life and a postage stamp. In the future, I hope I don’t generalize Day 13 to the book as a whole.
Day 13: Send a letter to a mass murderer.
I was given 9 addresses to 9 mass murderers. P.O. Box’s of course. I wanted to send a drawing or a passage from a play of some sort. But in...
Day 11 & Day 12
Two fo’ the price of juan! Yip.
Yesterdays’ Day 11: Today introduce yourself to someone you know, but never speak too.
I guess it was a good day for me to have completed that goal since I went to Ronald’s nephews BBQ. Ronald’s broham’s friend that I’ve seen at parties, but never really spoke was there. It was like he was doing Day 11 too, because we shook...
Day 10: Meet Jonas Day!
Meh. Today requires me to read about some dude named Jonas Jansson. It’s seems pretty bullshit, but I guess I can view today as a resting day. I’ve finally been given an add code for the last required class I need for my major. I was thinking about doing an internship course while doing a research course; most public health students pick one or the other. I already have the number...

Day 9: Do Something Before Breakfast Today
As any peasant worth his salt will tell you, the early morning is the best part of the day, so set the alarm for 5 o’clock and rise and shine.
5 am : Read two articles on my “Fluent News” app on thy iPhone. —-blur—- 630 am: Suddenly wake up after falling asleep while reading. Set my alarm at 730am. 730 am: Wake up from my second nap. Walk around...

Day 8: Addiction-Free Day
Your body is your temple. Cut out addictive substances for the day and see how much purer you feel.
Today was alright. I let go of meat and alcohol for the day. By meat, I mean anything that clucks, moos, quacks, barks, and those that go “flop-flop-flop” (a fish out of water). I ate a cup of fruit for breakfast, vegetarian soup & salad for lunch, and mushroom pasta for din-din....
Day 7
Today write the opening sentence of your debut novel:
“This incompetent nest built with gaps that allowed brilliant light to pour through, has only revealed my strength as I unintentionally destroyed what held me up for twenty years of my life.”
My novel will have a motif of birds and the idea of feminine freedom, although centered around everyday people of the 19th century. The...
Day 6
“Masturbate at 13:56 to the following fantasy:” For women, five paragraphs of an excerpt in a trashy romance novel was provided. For men, one single sentence: “Two blondes. Doing it. Together.”
Ha. Ha. Very funny.
At 1:56pm, I was clocking out of work. It would’ve been quite impossible to carry on with today’s goal. I came to an empty home. Nice. I walked...
Day 5: "Out of Order"
“Mass Social Experiment”
Cut out and stick this sign on any item of public infrastructure you might encounter today… The aim is to achieve comprehensive social breakdown across the U.S.
I didn’t have the guts to cut the sign out of the book. To me, taking scissors to a book is analogous to taking scissors to a bible; just the thought of it is completely wrong. Thank the...

Day 4: World Coloring-In Day
Today’s little quest was easier than yesterdays. Provided a map, I was to color locations I have already been to (green), locations I would like to visit someday before I die (yellow), and places I’d be “happy never to have set foot there in my whole life” (red). I colored the map with TinkerBell crayons. Thanks Tink!
Other than the US, I’ve visited the Philippines...
Day 3
Today throw something away that you like.
I like a lot of the things that I own; even things that I haven’t used in ages. I almost gave up on this one today, until I walked into my closet this morning and saw my straw hat. I used to wear that thing all the time until I discovered a love for bandanas. Every time I’d clean out my closet, it would be close to making the...
Day 2: The Love of Your Life
Today, gaze at everyone wondering whether they might be the one true love of your life, the one destined for you and you alone, and whether you might be passing them by forever…
Sweet baby Jesus. Today’s life changing duty is full of the creamiest corn, ain’t it? Indeed, I attempted, gagged and laughed at the same time (whilst on my job), and when I got home, I retreated to my...
Triple-tie DAT
I need to blog about good stuff. Stuff with meaning… or non-meaning, depending on how you were raised and how you see the world. Anyways, while staring mindlessly at my bookcase yesterday morning, I found some awesome bathroom reading material that I decided to use to prompt my oh so bland blogs: This Book Will Change Your Life (Benrik). Most of you probably have heard of it or seen it. I...
