welcoming the new year

For Media Noche, I cooked chili crabs and pork pochero. It was my first attempt at making both dishes and I was glad it turned out the way it was supposed to. :)

It was fun playing around the kitchen, knowing that everyone's dinner depends on your hands. *insert proud smile here*

To cap this off, I've decided to make a list of self-reminders (I refuse to call them resolutions):

• Get enough sleep.
  
• Cook, cook, cook. Experiment more in the kitchen.
  
• Read at least 20 books, watch at least 50 movies.
• Travel more. (farthest I've gone to for the past two years: Baguio. Zzz.)
• Spend more time with people, instead of wasting away hours in front of the computer.
• Avoid impulsive shopping.
  
• Start a new hobby, and actually do it. Last year I bought a couple of toy cameras, and now, they're still sitting in my room gathering dust.
• SAVE UP. I did not open a bank account for nothing.
