Listen to this: Glass Animals

Daddy was dumb, said that I'd be something special
Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human
Said that he loved each of my two million freckles
When I grew up, was gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mom
I take her money but not quite enough
I sit in the car and I listen to static
She said I look fat but I look fantastic
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
I'm waking up, lost in boxes outside Tesco
Look like a bum sipping codeine Coca-Cola
Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon
Sonic raygun, gonna be a superstar
I can't

Silog

The Filipino breakfast
Filipino breakfast can be a variety of things. For one it can be as simple as fresh bread with some freshly made cheese. Also known as pan de sal.

Silogs: usually garlic fried rice, fried egg, and a meat :) 
Most of the time it is rice.. Specifically garlic fried rice. I swear for the most part my dad just Pam fries day old rice, garlic powder, and salt. Sometimes there was real garlic but I don't remember that the usual. While I do keep garlic powder around, i do like to use fresh garlic especially when it's avail. 
Also fried egg and meat, usually a vinegary pork sausage called longinisa, cured sweet pork called tocino, dried garlicky beef called tapa, or even smoked fish. 
Other common things for breakfast include a noodle dish called palabok, has a constrach based sauce that's colored orange with annato. Served with pork rinds, pork, green onion, and calamansi.
Champarado is another favorite. That is a  chocolate rice porridge used glutinous rice, evaporated milk, coconut milk, cocoa, sugar. 
Another coming breakfast item is arroz Caldo, which is a rice porridge chicken soup that is gingery and served with fried garlic, hard boiled eggs, pork rinds, and calamansi.

See my photo below. I also have salted egg on the corner, mixed with a little fish sauce, cilantro, fresh tomatoes, and green onions.
I've been a Filipino food cooking spree. I'll try to share photos.

Here was my breakfast for lunch plate the other day. Best part: locally made sausages by Taylor Sausages in Oakland.

Wes Anderson Movies

So I figured out the other type of genre of movies I liked. Cute movies. Director that definitely captures that spirit is Wes Anderson. His movies usually involve fun story telling, interesting colors on the screen, ode to a past era, lovable characters, fashion inspirations, and forbidden and young love. 


Wes Anderson Films such as Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbuams, and Moonrise Kingdom. 

Moonrise Kingdom is now on Netflix and On Demand on Comcast. Please watch it. Moonrise Kingdom is a coming of age, romance story. Nothing is as sweet as that kind of love, when heartbreak does not appear to be eyes of ones in love. 


Royal Tenenbuams is fun for the quirky smart characters and unconventional love stories that also budded from a young love.


Grand Budapest:
Also another coming of age movie. I see a trend here in my movie DNA preference.

Haven't had a post in awhile

I'm current NOT feeling happy or fabulous. Sunday's tend to leave me asking existential questions that I don't have the answers to. My finances, my body, and my love life can use a little help. I can be thankful for at least liking where I work, my comfy home, having a car, and some food to eat. Opportunities to travel, get new clothes, and get my hair and nails would be great too. I know those are all extras in life, but I'm human, and have this hole in my chest that will never be filled.
