Daily Dose of Cat Love

Grogu accompanies me everyday when I water plants. His favorite time is when I sit on a chair. That's when he rubs my legs and rolls on my feet.

The time we spend together is precious to me. He loves it when I scratch his chin and belly. It calms me down and that is what melts away the stresses of the day.

Today is also Bailey Boo's second birthday! I recorded the day his Mom, Kaley Boo, didn't visit us for her meals. She came the day after and she looked like she gave birth. Few weeks later she brought 4 kittens to our home. Bailey was the one she brought back more than a month after she upped and left. He has lived with us since June 2024.

Our sweet, sweet Bailey Boo has the most voracious appetite! He finishes whatever the others don't finish and he's very protective of the territory. Probably for it from his father, Grey.

Happy birthday our dear Bailey Boo!

Sewing Suspended to Cook Salted Egg Chicken

My sewing time has been eroded by gardening activities. By the time I'm ready to sew I'm too tired, haha. 

It happened again yesterday since I had to rescue a plant and I had thawed some chicken to cook. I didn't want to disappoint Miggy, so I suspended sewing again.

Anyway, we ended up baking chicken and then cooked a portion of it as salted egg chicken and a smaller portion into buffalo chicken.

We got to use some produce from our garden. Fresh curry leaves and sili were picked from the garden. I'm happy we're able to do that with what we have in our garden.

Will post the recipe on Friday 🤗

Why You Should Install the Meralco App

If you're a Meralco customer like us, you should install their app. Here's why:

1. See your monthly bill even before you receive the paper version. Sometimes the bill is late or gets wet in the rain. I usually access it through the app.

2. Easily report brownouts/blackouts in your area. They actually call you about it and they call back to check when electricity is back.

3. Report issues and request for help easily. We recently experienced our electricity fluctuate again and since there were no issues in our internal system, the electrician advised to contact Meralco. 

Both times I sent a report last month, help came in less than 12 hours. Issue was resolved when the second electrician correctly diagnosed that the meter base was corroded. Meralco contractor came 5 hours after I reported through the app. They changed something in the meter at midnight and we haven't experienced any fluctuation since they fixed the meter.

4. If you manage multiple properties, you can add up to 5 accounts. It would definitely save you time.

5. Need to check and old bill? You can access previous months of old bills. 

There's probably a lot more things you can do with it, but I haven't gone deep into the app. It's helped me a lot in managing the bills and getting help when needed. I wish other utilities would have a similar useful app.

How Many Plants Can One Sili Make?

More than a month ago, we got sili with our delivery. Sweetie used one and I set aside one where I keep free ketchup and hot sauce. Of course, I completely forgot about it and it was dry when I found it.

Two weeks ago I decided to open it and planted the seeds. I didn't expect much, but was surprised to see the seeds sprout in a few days. Oh wow! The sili was healthy to have produced so many seedlings!

So, that's how many plants one sili can make. Now I need a farm to house all of my veggies, haha.

Made Salmon Lemon Cream Pasta

Second Friday of Lent and I decided to try making salmon lemon cream pasta. Part of my goal is to only have home cooked non-meat meals on Fridays.

I've wanted to make this dish which is my favorite Nono's dish. I haven't been able to order it the past few times I ate there and this pushed me to find a recipe. 

I think it turned out well. I'm glad I added lemon pulp to bring out the flavor. I also added a lot of spinach to make it healthier.

Yummeeh!

Got Our Paranaque City Provided Go Bag

Our HOA pinged informed us via group chat yesterday that the Paranaque City Hall was going to distribute one go bag per household. They went around before lunch today and Sweetie luckily heard them calling residents via megaphone to go out.

Contents of the go bag include:

• first aid kit
• flashlight
• Swiss army knife
• cotton balls
• whistle
• alcohol
• lighter

The first aid kit has some basic medicines, gauze, bandaid, antiseptic, scissors, and tape. 

We put together our own go bag last year and this is a good time for us to check the medications we included in the bag. We also need to check the emergency food and water we included. I completely forgot to write about the experience of putting together a go bag. I'll blog about it one of these days.
