This big baby is a living, breathing antidepressant. I have enough thoughts about Senja di Jakarta to write a review, so it will come… eventually! March 27 Their writing style and chosen themes were similar. Senja di Jakarta (Twilight in Jakarta in English translation) is an Indonesian classic and I enjoyed it far more than I expected, considering how Mochtar Lubis’s other famous novel Harimau! Harimau! left me indifferent. This is a simple ricotta and spinach omelet, by the way. Do you know how many wonkily shaped omelets I had to cook to get to this level? Actually, you don’t really want to know. But I was nearly dissuaded from the purchase by my mother, who told me he wouldn’t use it – he was too much of a backpack loyalist.Ĭonsidering the happy outcome, however, three cheers for big-sister instincts! March 23īehold my omelet-folding skills! I really am honestly proud of this minor talent. Also, a proper business bag was a genuine gap in his list of possessions, making it a practical present. My big-sister instinct told me he would love it. It is now his daily office bag, his gym bag, his travel bag he takes it everywhere.

I did, rightfully, substituted the strawberry jam with raspberry. With a cup of coffee, it was breakfast heaven. Last time I was there, I had a thick wedge of sourdough with homemade ricotta, strawberry jam, and granola on top. I mentioned in my last post that I went on a short vacation to Manila, Philippines in early February. One of my favorite cafes in Metro Manila so far is Wildflour, a cozy/contemporary brunch spot. Warning: this is an unusually photo-laden post. Looking at the photographs I compiled for this post made me smile and a little happier. Yet evaluating the little nuggets of gold that brighten your day is surprisingly effective self-care. Part of me isn’t sure it’s “me” (the Internet would type me as someone with “zero chill”) and part of me doesn’t think it would be interesting for readers. Sometimes, I am hesitant to write more lighthearted content. Golden Moments is a series on her blog that I take pleasure in stories of recent events and little items that make her daily life happier and brighter. Her blog is one I constantly come back to: cozy, cheering, and charming. The idea for this post is shamelessly ripped off from inspired by the wonderful holdsuponhappiness.
