Microwave Meals - Cake, Pizza, Churros, Poached Egg, Mac & Cheese, Baked Potato

Its amazing how versatile microwave oven is. You can cook everything from rice to pizza in a microwave! Here, I did bake potato, peanut butter cake, instant noodles with poached egg, pizza, churros, and mac & cheese.

 

Microwave oven is indeed perfect for solo and quick meals! I just found a new bestfriend at home! Lol pwede ka na magrestaurant ng microwave dishes lang handa :D


PS:

For eggs guys, try medium high 1 minute if you prefer a runny yellow. If its your first time and arent sure of your microwave settings yet (depende sa wattage ng microwave nyo yung high e, sakin output wattage of 700, input of 1200) pakibutasan yung egg yolk para di sumabog sa loob ng oven :D

How to Get a Leadership Role

Nung college, ang role ko sa groupworks ay tagabili ng meryenda, tagaluto ng pancit canton, at overall moral support. Groupworks were never really stressful for me coz the people in charge were reliable. Happy go lucky ako nun.

Now that I am a lead myself, stressful, especially on days like this that there are no norms & no SOPs. Everything is fleshed out as we roll with the punches. These are the things I wish I knew earlier in my career, mga 5 years earlier. Di sana wala ko masyadong napaiyak 😬 and I could have been more effective then as an entry manager. Tandaan, as a lead, you are only as good as your team is. Kahit gaano ka kagaling, di mo kayang gawin lahat. You get a lot of work done through and with others.



1. Understand how system works
2. Understand and manage yourself individually and as part of a system
3. Communicate with intention
4. Support others to succeed
5. Think strategically

UV Light vs Bread Molds Experiment (ft UV Care Germ Terminator)

I met a pilot who brings around a UV Care Germ Terminator. She uses it on doorknobs, airplane seats, hotels, and on the utensils during that dinner we had. Others would think she is a neat freak (and maybe she is), but it was reassuring for me, because it was a time when covid19 was just emerging, and there were no known cases in the Philippines yet.

I used to not wear mask coz I didnt have the surgical ones. I reasoned that the cloth mask wouldn't protect me from the virus so why bother. But now it's different. This cloth mask may not protect me, but if I am sick, I can protect others by wearing this and not spreading the virus.

Now is the time to be extra paranoid with hygiene if we can, if not for ourselves, for others.

I got this 2 months ago, but was doubtful if it really has any effects (best in trust issues kasi ako e 😅) but since finishing this experiment, I might ask everyone in the house to use this na.



Keep safe guys.

Grocery Run During Manila Lockdown - Inabutan Ako ng Curfew

It's Day 15 of the Metro Manila Lockdown due to covid 19 threats. I have to do a quick grocery run, because we ran out of camote and veggies for my dad who is diabetic. He cannot eat most of the things we eat because his sugar level shots up easily. I left home a little past 2pm and it was scorching hot so I thought there wouldnt be a lot of people. I was so wrong.



Keep safe guys!
