Quarantine Entry 1

I am finally going to add a label just to document this whole quarantine. As much as I am grateful about having a job in the midst of this pandemic, it is so risky to go out there and commute. I cherish the moments when I do not have to work so I try to do other things to keep my head clear. So far I had one mental breakdown throughout this whole fiasco which isn't as bad as I thought. I need the tone of this entry to be positive.

I started playing SIMS 4 on Xbox One and bought the City Living expansion. I decided to finally take a whole day of break today because it is so easy to get into the game and waste the whole day. Time definitely passes by when playing this game. If you are someone with a lot of errands, steer clear from this game. I wish I am playing the Mass Effect trilogy though..

I am not claiming to be a cooking prowess but the amount of time I spent in the kitchen increased. In fact, moving to NYC increased my time in the kitchen. I know that my access to Filipino food is not the same here in Brooklyn compared to San Diego but I am so much more eager to try and cook my favorite foods from home.

Over the weekend, I started cooking mechadong baka using the Instant Pot. For years now, I had been referring to Panlasang Pinoy for my Filipino cooking needs. Some of my influences came from my father who tends to make Filipino food with healthier alternatives. I've come a long way from just baking salmon to utilizing the Instant Pot. I am happy to say that the mechadong baka turned out very well. Tender beef, flavorful, hearthy.. Amazing stew! The better half had three servings of it! I look forward to trying pork pochero and beef nilaga (buto buto!) next.

A friend of mine also recommended that we do the (splits challenge) and I had successfully done day 12 last night ( we started April 1st) and I don't believe I can learn the splits in 30 days but I feel the progress doing these stretches. It works in little ways. It is my current physical activity right now when I should be trying harder because of my eating habits (I consume so much rice!).

Currently binge watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine and it is giving me so many good laughs.

Take care!
