The New Adventures of Old Kristin



2015 was the year I shared my passion for good food with my friends. Some of them were friends from years ago, while some I met only recently.  I'm so happy that I seem to be expanding my social circle through food.  I just hope my waistline won't follow too closely.

May 2016 bring more foodie adventures and expanding horizons.

It's just another New Year's Eve

The last several months have been, in a nutshell, quite stressful.  My friends at work have gotten used to me staring off at a distance while in conversation, or just looking plain distracted.  Though things are not yet ok, I feel a bit o relief that  somehow I'm here, I made it to this point. So last Tuesday, while we celebrated the last official working day of the year, my work friend Charmie encouraged me to take up other interests again. Then she revealed that she and her friend will start blogging, which led to me showing her my angst-filled old blog - I derived great amusement afterward reading back on those old posts.  Which leads me to today. It's been exactly two years since my last post. Though I'm unsure I'm still enthusiastic about blogging as I was before, I want to develop new habits that will lead to a better, more well-rounded existence.

Silence speaks a thousand words

I've been back to living in my favorite city for almost three years now, and it just occurred to me that I've never made full use of my balcony.

It is a rare moment of respite out of a very trying time.  It's moments like these that lend me that extra dose of strength that I needed. Thank God for small miracles.

Thank goodness for friends

Today was a public holiday, and I had decided to stay in the city and not go home for the day.  My mum implored me to try and have a good amount of rest.   I wish I could have a day where I could just lay in bed all day, but most likely I would end up at a mall out of boredom. We all have friends who serve different purposes in our life.  There are toxic friends, and there are good time friends.  Then there are the friends who are keepers, and I met with two of them today. The second one I met with today is one of my oldest friends.  We officially started our friendship on the first day of high school.  Our friendship had experienced rough sailing, like most teenage friendships have, and we haven't been close for many years when we started making our way into the world.  But despite the distance between us, whether physical or otherwise, I know that I can rely on our connection and common understanding when I needed her kind of wisdom.   ...
