081/365 - Nanananananananana... Castella!!!

Castella from Japan

My folks got back from Japan today and they got this Castella for my Grandmother. I am sort of jealous since this sponge cake tastes so delicious. Oh well.

Out.

079, 080/365 - Temporary Solution

Beno, my daughter's turtle.

My nth attempt at carbonara. Too much noodles.

I've finally gotten some fixes done on our network. We still can't connect to some sites but thanks to the info given by one of my friends, I was able to fix the router settings so we can connect to Yahoo. I can blog again, yay!

Anyway today I tried again to create Italian Carbonara. My mom does a great job of cooking carbonara with no cream only egg yolks. I tried again today, and there is good progress. The problem is I used too much noodles and not enough sauce.

Next time I'll be more wary of how much noodles to use.

Out.

Internet Problems

No Project 365 posts since yesterday, and I apologize. Something's wrong with our ISP. I can connect to flickr but when I try to login, I cannot connect to Yahoo! So I can't post pictures, and that is one crucial element of Project 365.

Why don't I upload directly to blogger? Because I have a flickr account and I prefer to post ALL my pictures there. So please bear with me while I pray that my internet issues get fixed soon.

In the meantime, please enjoy this classic 2006 (2005?) photo I took one midnight in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. I used my handy EOS 66 SLR camera with expired Fuji Velvia film. I exposed the shot for around two minutes.

Hmm, the photo won't load on blogger but it is here. I checked the html coding and it's there. So the issue with Yahoo! seems to affect even my photostream.

Out.

I still consider this photo my best shot ever.

077, 078/365 - Bored?

"Sushi" my wife brought home Sept. 26

Hey, that's my reading chair!

This week has been my (hopefully) official bum week. It's the week where I just bum around, play games, spend time with my daughter, read books, sleep, whatever. Let everything out of my system and reboot.

Hopefully next week I can push myself to actually be more productive.

Out.

076/365 - Reading

My mom got six or seven of these. I just finished book 1.

One of the greatest gifts my mother gave me was my love for reading. I devour books, specially those that interest me. They can be autobiographies, fantasies, science fiction, or cookbooks. As long as I'm interested, I usually forget other forms of entertainment (laptops, iPads, TV) available at home.

This new series of manga my mother got, Oishinbo, is really great. I've finished the first book, and there are five or six more here that I'm going to go through these next few days. I can't wait for tomorrow to come so I can read the next one. I should be done with the series this weekend.

Out.
