Fresh and Healthy

 

 

I've been trying to eat healthy to counter all the fatty, oily food I like so much. That's quite shocking since I was a strict vegetarian some years back. The transition from going vegan was quite abrupt and I did it without much thought. I was into it quite seriously for about a year and shifted to eating fish, thereafter. About two years ago I began eating meat, specifically pork, after being addicted to bacon and this turbo-grilled pork similar to lechon. Before I was quite a chicken eater and my vice was KFC Hot & Crispy. I seldom eat chicken now. I've never been a fan of beef except for corned beef. For now I can't say I can commit to a vegetarian diet although one remnant of that eating habit is that I still prefer drinking soya milk. Hopefully, I can transition to eating more fibres everyday if I consciously try to make it a choice.

The Ease Of It

I've been editing my wardrobe recently and I realized I'm drawn to the same looking pieces. It resulted in me having a mountain of similar looking black t-shirts, a ton of black buttondown shirts and piles of black pants. Not to mention the layering pieces I collect like scarves, trailing capes and other thinga-ma-gigs. Good thing this hot weather forced me to re-think how I dress and I'm in that stage where a more simple wardrobe appeals to me. A trimmer more focused collection of clothing is what I aim. This season it's all about simplicity for me.

Catching Up

It's nice to catch up with friends you haven't seen for a bit of time. Dinner at Ngon was it.

Had this delicious Vietnamese pho.

Soap and Rothany. Soap was in Siem Reap for two weeks and Rothany just came back from traveling all over the globe.

Toefi and Eng. Eng was in the Philippines for a month and just came back.

Maan was also in the Philippines for a month and Balaz just came back from New York.

Had desserts and wine at Fox after. Stories, laughter, food and drinks...

Bombette & Richie

Ilonggo friends Bombette & Richie visited me here in Cambodia. We had dinner at Digby's, which they loved.

Pedro 3rd Annniversary Party

What is casual chic? That was my question when I read the invite for Pedro's 3rd anniversary party. I was thinking of wearing my default uniform of jacket, shirt, pants and leather brogues but last minute switched to this quilt stitched top from Monki. Of course, since it's a shoe brand party I wanted my footwear to be something noticeable so I wore my own designed gladiator sandals.

Black Dinner

I wanted to celebrate and thank friends for supporting me so I conceived a dinner party called Black Dinner. It's a sit-down dinner and I cooked my favorite dishes. For the first one I invited Maan, Mikee, Toefi and Eng. It was nice to dress-up, eat good food, drink wine and just have loads of laughter.
