Back to Black in 2010

It's the International Year of Biodiversity.

It's the Year of the White Tiger.

What's in store for the Taurus?
(from Indrasto Vedic Astrology)

"2010 is going to be a landmark year for Taurus.  Tangible gains might not be many but you will grow in stature  as well create new opportunities and values which would create progress and gains for next few years.


This year will find your creative abilities at an high and there would be practical and rational ideas which will propel you to new heights.  Your view points will be accepted with respect." 

Sounds good to me.

However, according to Chinese Fortune Calendar...

"Snake and Tiger don't fight face to face. But Snake and Tiger cannot get along too well. This implies that Snake's public relationship is very poor in 2010, year of Tiger. Poor people relationship will impact career opportunity, business promotion and love relationship. Therefore, Snake people will lack a peaceful mind and happy mood in 2010. Some Lucky Stars gather in Love area. Snake people need to avoid any argument with boy/girl friends, spouse, close family members or business partners. They must control their temper and emotion when things go wrong. Otherwise, it will be very easy to lose friendships, love, business relationships or career opportunities."

Life continues...


And I'm back to black.

Thanks to youtube user Arven for this video.

Can't help but be amazed how time flies.  It's something we cannot save... something we cannot return to. 

"Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived." - Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Radish Cake

This video on how to make radish cake is not vegetarian but should be a good guide on how to make one.  Just omit the unfriendly ingredients and enjoy.

Daisy introduced this to me when I was in Singapore last year. We went to this vegetarian place in China Town.  Looks easy to make so I'm hoping to try it next week when I go home to Davao.

The busy life in Manila has prevented me from updating this blog more often, not to mention I sort of ran out of ideas to write about.  Uncle A said it must be blog burnout.  Maybe. 

It's been a year since I returned to the Philippines.  Many things had happened... career-wise, it's been fulfilling going back to UP.  The city life though is slowly sucking my energy dry.  Commuting via the MRT is convenient but draining.  I hope this 2-week break will allow me to think things through.

For 2010, I will take a sabbatical leave from the kitchen and focus on the journey towards an adamantine body.

Om.
