I stood outside in my front porch and attempted to take pictures of the moon. Because, well, it was there and I wanted to see what else my new camera can do.
My hands weren’t really that steady. Maybe I shouldn’t have had that big mug of French vanilla coffee so late in the night. But in any case, I had a hard time keeping the moon in the frame at that zoom level (12x + 4x).
Eventually, I went inside for ice cream. (I had to get the taste of coffee out of my mouth, so I thought chocolate chip cookie dough was as good a masking flavor as any. And if you ask why I didn’t just brush my teeth or drink some citrus fiber drink, you’re missing the point.)
But then I glanced at our deck out back and saw it bathed in moonlight. So I went out to see if maybe I could get a different view of the moon.
I refused to let the maple leaves get in the way of snapping another shot of the moon. But then I heard a strange noise and suddenly wondered if bears like the scent of cookie dough. So I hurried back inside.
No bear’s getting his paws on my ice cream. No siree.

I write, cook, play music, and make pictures. Not necessarily in that order. I was born and raised in the Philippines, and it shows. That means I eat rice with every meal, love my cousins like my own siblings, and firmly believe that avocados are best eaten with cream and sugar.

LOST AND FOUND
One summer night in 2010, our house burned to the ground and we lost everything we had. This is the story of what happened and how life and hope can always rise from ashes.
I'm proud to belong to an amazing community of Filipino food lovers. Together, we celebrate this often-neglected Asian cuisine, sharing our family's treasured recipes and discovering new ones along the way. This is our club.
