Childhood


This weekend i'm returning to my childhood time favorite anime, Born to Cook (Mister Ajikko) by Daisuke Terasawa. There was no better waking-up-early-on-sunday motivation ever than this series. I love watching all exaggerating dramatic descriptions about food and cooking.
I was so thrilled when i found all the episodes here. Enjoy!

Learn - Nudibranch

HELLO!

Do you believe that aliens are exist? From wildest imaginations humans have created about aliens in comics and tv, there are thousands of wicked shaped real creatures living underwater.
Top of my faves list would be nudibranch [nude-a-brank].

Skull me.


Have you ever done a head x-ray scan? I had a motor accident back in 2009 that made me had to do some scannings. The accident was quite bad, i never thought myself as a pretty face but i never felt so unpretty faced before. haha. Thank God there was nothing serious and i have my face back to normal after several weeks. Since then i am always very cautious about motorbike riding and helmet. Life is too precious to be at risk because of ignorance isn't it.

So THIS pic of me :

reminds me of THIS :


and THIS pic of me :

Grow - Star of Bethlehem



This one is a treasure i'm sharing. West Indies' Star of Betlehem (Isotoma longiflora).
While wikipedia say its weed can cause blindness, but with a drop and wash-wipe recipe, i've heard some people use it as herbal eye drops, even to cure cataract! I like the fact its flower blooming all the time, we have a line of this and it looks pretty at our backyard.

2012


I like to consider myself as a list-maker. I'm crazy about writing everything down, and make them listed. No matter how i apply it in real life. Never that much actually. Usually i forgot about the lists i've made and then time goes on. Recently i break down all my lists and realized there are too many categories that complicate my way of life actually. It doesnt matter. Life is already too complicated anyway. It also happens with 2012 resolutions. I have almost 50 on my list haha. From very detailed like 'easter at larantuka' to general ones like 'try to not get bored so easily'. Well if this list doesn't work, at least i can read it just for fun so i don't get bored easily.

Goodbye 2011


Saying goodbye is never easy. But when you've gained amazing things there are more positive views from goodbyes. 2011, like every year passed has given so much meaning to my life. One of the hardest goodbyes was to my beloved canine companion Tossy. She came in and shared life with me for more than 11 years. She left so sudden last May and i miss her a lot almost all of the time. I miss our picnics, i miss our cuddles, and i miss how she communicate her curiousity only with me. Most of all she has taught me the meaning of love, loyalty, trust and forgiveness that i will continue to share to others for the rest of my life. You will always be in my heart until we meet again Mama Tossy.

Happy New Year

So this is our first annual tradition. We've done it exactly like what we did last year. Barbeque at home and then up to the hill peak right before new year to watch fireworks happening from 3 towns at once.



2011 has made me having very behave sleeping time. I got really sleepy before the fireworks started while boyfriend is trying to get good snaps of the moment. we forgot the tripod. I mean, we forgot that we got no tripod.



As sober as a professor. As great as expected. 2012 please be nice.

Eat - Rotini Curry Rice with Fried Mackerel



Sorry about the poor resolution of the photo. I know i should take better pictures for the next posts. It was just a spontaneous lunch. and i added rice just because it was too salty hahaha.

So i'm gonna try to share this i hope it will work for you too. All the ingredients should just be measured by your taste and instinct. (i know, i will put the measurements for the next posts too)

Fried Mackerel
  1. Mix salt and pepper with crushed lemon basil and lemon water (this is important, u can use bilimbi or tamarind too, tamarind usually makes ur fish would look darker when it's fried.), then soak mackerel fillets and leave for about 20-30 minutes (you can make your curry pasta while waiting for this)
  2. Deep fry the mackerel until it gets brown.

Curry Pasta
  1. Put together 1 cup of coconut milk (or water if you prefer lower fat), salt, pepper, garlic, curry powder, paprika powder, garlic, shallot, lemon basil, and whatever you want to be in your curry.
  2. Boil your pasta (i had rotini) with the curry until it's well cooked and the curry should be thicker too.
Then add your fried mackerel to the curry. I added nori and lemon basil leaves because i love those two. If you are a beginner in the cooking world like i am, you should taste your curry first, if it's too strong then you can add rice to neutralize a bit. (automatically will add some carb fat in your belly too)

So that's my premier recipe on the blog. Hope i will learn better and better :)
