Today in Eir’s non-aesthetic kitchen:
Thai Chicken Curry 💖

I tried to make this post a special *with garnish* because it’s my first legit post in my new blog~
Okay, so I was with my mom doing grocery and you know that feeling where you just suddenly have a craving for a very specific food (in reality I just really miss that halal place Margo and I go to in Manila) and it’s chicken curry.
Like every normal person I thought “daaamn where can I buy chicken curry on a whim?” I was at a blank, but I really REAAALLLYY wanted chicken curry (and my mom loves it too) so here I am, in the grocery searching google how to cook it.
Mga besh ang effort magluto ng totoong curry upon searching and I felt at a loss kasi legit gusto ko talaga ng curry. So sabi ko hay, siguro I’m bit meant to eat curry. Craving lang naman siya so it’ll pass naman. Dejected, I was walking around like a manipultive sad boy grabbing the things I actually needed to buy.
Walking around aimlessly, I came upon the spice aisle and merong yellow curry paste. Imagine my happiness when I saw it. If I can’t buy it, cook it. So, I bought it.
There are just some food items you can't easily buy in restaurants. If you're from the province like me, finding a restaurant that would satisfy your niche craving is one of the most difficult things to do.

If you can't buy it, cook it.

LEAN: A FILIPINO MUSICAL SYNOPSIS Lean: A Filipino Musical is about the events in the life of Lean Alejandro, a student leader and activist from the University of the Philippines Diliman. He was a member of the Philippine Collegian, where he frequently wrote against the Marcos dictatorship. He eventually became the chairperson of the College of Arts and Sciences Student Council.

Amid Ninoy getting killed and Cory Aquino gaining renown, Lean gets unjustly imp...

Growing Up Fat in the Philippines

The Covid pandemic made us do a lot of things differently. From the way we work to our daily activities, it has affected us in more ways than we ever imagined. As a person who enjoyed staying in, it did not feel like there was much of a difference. At least, that is what I told myself. As each day passed, I thought,  this isn’t so bad . Until a week turned into a month, and the month turned into three, and staying indoors with only my family to talk to really ate away at my mental health. Full disclosure, I am diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder 2, and I am not ashamed of it. Having a mental illness in the time of pandemic was a real challenge for me. I only had myself, and being alone for a prolonged period really made me think and reflect on my life. My therapist told me that the cause of my problem is low self-esteem. People who know me would raise their eyebrows. “Eir? Low self-esteem? She’s like one of the most confident people I know!” "She's l...

/ˈfɛʁnveː/ The ache of missing somewhere you’ve never gone to. It was warm. It was the sort of physical warmth that you felt whenever you drank a cup of hot cocoa on a cold December night amongst friends and loved ones. It was sweet, and it felt like home. I mean, not that I would know. I never really liked hot cocoa. I’ve always liked the taste of black coffee more. It’s strong and straight to the point. That is what home feels like to me, but when she’s wrapped around my arms and when her back touches my chest, I question myself if black coffee is really what I want my home to feel like. Growing up, I never really knew what it truly felt like to have an actual home. What I knew about it is simply from a mixture of observation, stories, and books. I lost my parents and my older brother at a young age. It was a freak accident, they say. One night after my older brother’s piano concert, they were driving home, and a drunken truck driver hit them like a bowling ball. Both my parents died...
