What's something awesome in your life right now?

Having dreams and aspirations is the awesome thing that is in my life right now.

In the past months, I thought that I reached a plateau in my life. I stopped hoping and gradually accepted that I'm just living life each day the same way over and over again, waiting to reach the finish line. I thought I there was nothing else I can do in my life.

It is through prayer and dialogues with different people that I have learned and realized that I can still dream big things to come in my life and fill my heart with happiness. I was given hope. I saw some light that can lead to a bright future.

I learned to dream once again and see the positive things ahead. For me, that is something awesome.

Time for a Simpler Design

If I can't make drastic changes in my life at this point, I'd just have to alter my blog design. What a way to put my frustration into something constructive! Kidding aside, I feel that I do have to make some changes with how my blog looks. It's time to dress this site with something more classic - something that won't go out of style. Of course, I still have to consider that the design should represent my personality and interests.

With these considerations in mind, I'm having trouble finding the perfect design. The color palette to use is easy. There must be brown somewhere in this blog! It's the overall look with all the graphics and stuff that makes it difficult for me decide. I'm running out of ideas, and I think I need to seek the help of a professional.

Anyway, I hope I'd be able to come up with a new design before July starts.

Wish me luck!

Rest Day Recipes: Baked Fish Wrapped in Bacon and Rosemary

It's nice to be blogging about Rest Day Recipes once again! Because I got an extra day off, I decided to cook something for last night's dinner. As tweeted, it was another dish inspired by Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food. I thought fish would be the easiest to cook and so I landed on the page of baked cod wrapped in bacon and rosemary.

Well, I don't think we have cod here in the Philippines (do we?) so I decided to substitute cod with my personal favorite - cream dory!

Baked Fish Wrapped in Bacon and Rosemary

Without finishing reading until the end of the page, I thought the dish was good with some vegetables so I also prepared  mashed potatoes and baked asparagus. When I revisited the cook book, it was actually suggested to pair the dish with mashed potatoes or other vegetables.

Holidays Like This

I'm loving the weather today and the fact that I don't have work. It's nice to just relax, sit in front of the television or in front my computer just like what I'm doing now. I'm really grateful that with my current job, I get to enjoy holidays and I could actually plan trips with my family on long weekends. I just want to clear my mind off the worries of work and just enjoy this extra day of rest.

Hope you guys are enjoying the day too! I'm heading to the mall in a while with my sister for some window shopping. I'm also buying ingredients for tonight's recipe!

'Til then!
