Take a Taste: with Meals from the Next Door Noodles by North Park [Recorded: May 19th, 2024]

Hello! It’s time for another “Take a Taste”! The series is about delicious food with my two paper dolls.

And today's episode is we're at the outside of condo, to a 24-hour restaurant known as the "Next Door Noodles by North Park"! Yum-yum! 🥢🍜🍛🍚🍗🥩😋 So, the question was, is it worth our appetite? 🤔 Let's find out! 😁

BTW: So sorry for the long delay. Looks like, I have to finish this topic before we proceed to next month, we're I have some "unfinished business" with my 2023 photos.

If you haven’t seen my previous episode, then please → [CLICK ME!].

As well as these links about our "staycation" 🏨🌴🏊‍♀️ down below: ↓ • Part 1 [May 18th, 2024] • Part 2 [May 18th, 2024] • Part 3 [May 18th, 2024] • Part 4 [May 18th, 2024]

IMPORTANT NOTE: No #OnThisDay throwback post for this date.

So, without further ado, let’s get started:

1st to 4th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• We're at the "Next Door Noodles by North Park" in Makati City 🍴🏮🏪 outside of our rent condo room, since the restaurants from the Jazz Residence we're closed until the next morning. Anyways, this restaurant have a selection of Asian-based cuisine of dishes, and its not just Filipino dishes and their well-known delicious noodles that they offered. Let my parents, and our siblings do the selection of meals. You just wait, okay you two? Good. 😊

• And now for some share info: The "Next Door Noodles by North Park" is a Filipino-based Chinese restaurant 🇵🇭🥢🍜🏢 established in 1974 by Raphael Soon, with their Peking Duck brought from China 🇨🇳🦆🍗, and sell it to the Philippine consumers (like us). Years later, in 1988, they opened their first establishment in Binondo, Manila 🏮⛩️🏙️ as a "Seafood Restaurant" 🦐🥢🏢, and soon it grows from one restaurant to another venue, and more. They evolved from a "Seafood" to a "Chinese style Noodle Restaurant" and their quality of ingredients to satisfy our taste buds.

5th to 8th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Anyways, our orders we're served to our table! Man, take a look at our meals from fried Calamaries, to Yang Chow Fried Rice, to Sweet & Sour Chicken, and my picked the "Boneless Chicken Curry" (with steamy rice, included)! Mmmmm! Yum-yum! 🦑🍚🍗🍛😋 But, what about the beverages? 🤔 We stick with nice pure mineral water over sugary beverages. 💧🥤😉

9th to 12th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Nonetheless, let's try my ordered "Boneless Chicken Curry"! And take a look at my construction, it looks delicious! 🍛🤤 But, let's see who is it tastes like. *munching* Wow! Damn, it's spicy, with no bones of course, and the rich creamy curry was astonishingly worth my taste buds, including my paper dolls who tasted my curry! 😃 But wait, was it spicy to your taste? 🌶️🥵 To me, this is fine! 😁

13th to 16th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• So, how about trying the "Yang Chow Fried Rice", eh you two? 🍚😊 *munching* Wow, this one is amazing fried rice! It has a few chunks of meat spreading over the fried rice, it'll be worth combining with my "Boneless Chicken Curry", which we'll get to that in my next photo. 😋

17th to 19th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• In addition to our current meals, my mom ordered a little healthy veggies of "Chinese Broccoli in Oyster Sauce"! 🥦😃 And we all know, that "veggies" are the us when it comes to a healthy lifestyle, whether you ate it or not, like it or not, it doesn't matter! (And some of you, you've recognized from watching the "The Powerpuff Girls" episode 🥦🛸. Just saying, and I've been there.) Anyways, my paper dolls want some of that veggies as well, so I had to cut off the broccoli in half before we consumed it, and the taste was pretty damn good with or without oyster sauce/fried rice.😋 Sadly, this is the only one veggie we ate because my entire family ate it all without us to grab more. 😥 Still, it is good broccoli, nonetheless.🤤

20th to 23rd Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• [20th to 22nd Images] Now, time to combine fried rice and curry to create a worthy meal for our appetite, *munching* and it did not disappoint us! It's so hot, that I can't stop eating it until I drink a glass of water. 🍛🌶️💧🤤

• [23rd Image] Other meals we haven't tried are Sweet & Sour Chicken (left) and fried calamari (that we're split into two chunks) (right) from before. 🍗🦑 Unfortunately, we've run out of fried rice (or steamed rice), so we have no choice but to consume these, anyway. *munching* Mmmm... I'd say they're both good. If I picked one, then I'd say the fried calamari one because of its right tender to ease my chewing! 😋

24th & 25th Image(s), and Overall: ↑

• Man, our stomach was stuffed from our great midnight dinner! 🤤 And overall, I would DEFINITELY... Or rather, WE would gonna go back to any "North Park" restaurants, anytime soon. Not only the decor and the atmosphere we're pretty good, but also the meals from the menu are worth it! We haven't tried their well-known "Noodle Soup", so maybe we'll be planning on that, someday. Price, on the other hand, is a little bit pricey compared to super budget restaurants, but the quality of their food did not disappoint our wallet. Sadly, they don't offer "Peking Duck" based dishes from their menu, anymore. 😥 We wish we wanted it, but I guess we'll just stick with roast chicken dishes, so this is fine by us. 😊

Well, that's all for now. 😊

Another breakdown.

So, yeah, I've just had my first breakdown in a while—one that involves me actually crying and audibly talking to myself with words of self-pity and sadness. If you must know, I broke down because of how lonely I've been feeling lately—how I used to be surrounded by my peers and like-minded people and now I simply don’t have that. It's so tiring—this "technique" I've made of filling up my daily schedule to the brim (like, down to the 5-minute intervals), just so I could distract myself from the fact that I've become way too lonely for my liking. I like solitude, yes, but it's been so difficult not having like-minded around me whom I could talk to, physically bond with, share new memories with. My college friends all live so far away. My parents are two provinces away. My sister is in Dubai. I simply live most of my workdays working at home and even the weekends alone. It's so tiring. I've stopped crying for now, but I know I still feel the same.

Forget about a boyfriend for now. All I need right now is companionship. Like, someone good and kind and like-minded who can be physically near me and share the things I love from time to time (probably weekends and *some* weekdays). But living in Cavite, that probably would prove to be very hard. I couldn't achieve me when I used to live in Makati for work. How much more now.

I guess the only (closest) answer right now is LB? But the condo unit I bought won't be finished until 2.5 years later (I'd be 31 by then), and even then, I need to recoup some of the amortization money by eventually renting it out, so idk. I guess I have to be very rich now so I may actually afford to live there in my early 30s? Is that doable? Idk. But I will find out, and I'll try my best to make it happen, even though that isn't remotely an assurance that life would be better for me.

The Importance of Professional Real Estate Photography

Photographers often schedule shoots during the "golden hour" (shortly after sunrise or before sunset) to capture soft, diffused light that enhances the property's appeal.

Composition: The way a room is framed in a photograph can make a significant difference. Professional photographers understand how to use composition techniques, Daytime Real Estate Photography Manila such as the rule of thirds, to create balanced, aesthetically pleasing images that draw the viewer's eye to the most important features of the property.

Editing: Post-production is where good photos become great. Through careful editing, photographers can adjust lighting, correct colors, and even digitally stage a space to make it more appealing to potential buyers.

Why Choose a Local Manila Photographer?

6 Industries That Could Benefit from Good SEO

6 Industries That Could Benefit from Good SEO

Today’s world is an increasingly digital-centric one, where people depend on the internet for many of their activities. Thus, it’s more crucial than ever for businesses to invest in good search engine optimization (SEO). Do note that ALL businesses across all industries can benefit from the services of a reliable SEO company. That said, there are some industries that need it more than others due to the nature of algorithms, user behavior, and localized competition. Here are a few of these industries that can take full advantage of good SEO:

E-commerce

It’s no secret that the e-commerce industry is booming globally. This means that, if you’re operating an online store of any kind, you’ll have plenty of competition. If you want to stand out, increase your website traffic, and potentially boost your sales, it’s wise to invest in good SEO. Of course, with the way digital spaces work, you can already get a lot of mileage simply by posting on social media. As long as you have quality products and services, word of mouth and virality can help you get more traction. However, you can’t rely solely on these because they largely depend on luck. This is especially true for viral content. With SEO, you can take plenty of concrete actions to help your e-commerce site rank higher on search engine results pages or SERPs. Some of the things that an SEO company can do for you include optimizing your landing pages, writing detailed product descriptions, and creating high-quality on-page content. Good SEO can also improve a customer’s experience within your e-commerce site. In turn, this can increase the likelihood of successful and repeat transactions.

Real Estate

One of the most common habits of search engine users is to include the location of whatever they’re looking for so they can get more relevant results. For example, if they’re looking for a new smartphone, they may type something along the lines of “best smartphone philippines” or “best smartphone under 20k philippines” in the search bar. This habit is something that real estate practitioners should capitalize on. With good SEO, you can rank higher on searches that include specific locations or landmarks, e.g., “condo in makati” or “office for rent near EDSA.” What’s great about search engine optimization for real estate sites and businesses is that Google Maps results also affect the main search results. This simply means that you’re accomplishing two SEO goals at once and thus getting more value for your investment.

Home Renovations and Interior Design

In the same way that real estate benefits from good SEO, allied industries and businesses can also leverage SEO to boost their online visibility and overall profits. Some of these industries and businesses include home renovations, interior design, and even cleaning services. Like residential and commercial properties, these businesses are usually searched with an accompanying location, e.g., “aircon cleaning Quezon City”. Using the right SEO strategies, your company will be easier to find online.

Hospitality and Tourism

The hospitality and tourism industry is highly competitive, so you’re going to need every advantage you can get to stand out amongst other players in the field. Fortunately, even small to mid-sized hotels, resorts, restaurants, and similar establishments can beat bigger companies online through the strategic use of SEO. The key is to conduct careful research, especially with regard to the most-used keywords by users. This will allow you to tailor your online presence specifically to cater to customers who are looking for places to stay, dine, and have fun during their vacation.

Legal Services and Law

Unlike other businesses and industries previously mentioned in this list, those who search for lawyers and other forms of legal services are more intent about it. In short, they really, truly need your help. By being present and easily searchable online, you can drive more traffic to your site to increase views, inquiries, and eventual conversions. What you have to remember is that law is one of the industries where a company’s reputation largely impacts whether or not customers will want to work with them. In direct relation to this, companies that rank high on SERPs are often viewed as trustworthy. Therefore, good SEO can help law firms not only in terms of visibility but also in terms of credibility.

Medical Services

When people are in need of specific medical services, they usually search for the specific thing they need. For example, one might search for a “CBC lab test” or a “cancer doctor” in a specific location or hospital. They may also search for medical services by symptoms (e.g., “pamumula ng mata”). By capitalizing on these search behaviors, businesses in the medical industry can rank high on SERPs and enjoy increased visibility. Similarly, medicine is also an industry where trust is a critical component of a customer’s likelihood of working with you. Through the help of SEO, businesses and professionals that require medical services can boost both their SERP rankings but also their potential customers’ level of trust. Whether we like it or not, the internet—and its impact on our daily lives—is here to stay. In order to succeed, businesses in all industries should learn how to adapt; one way to do this is through SEO. The ones mentioned above, in particular, can especially benefit from the boost in visibility and SERP rankings. If your business is in any of these industries, consider investing in good SEO if you haven’t yet. Read the full article

Why leaving the city to settle in the province is one of the best decisions in my life

I already drafted a post earlier, pero nawala lol. So, here's my second attempt.

Before the pandemic, I was living in a condo along EDSA with my then-fiancee now-husband. We paid 18K monthly for a studio-type condo, with pool and gym amenities. It was a dream come true for me since my previous homes in the metro were in not-so-Instagrammable places.

So a bit of a history of my living situations in NCR:

I left Laguna since HS for college and stayed in a dormitory. There were about 2-4 girls per room and my parents who crawled my expense through graduation often paid my rent late.

Then, I graduated and vowed to not have my parents pay a single cent for me anymore. I lived independently paying ALL of my living expenses including rent, food. My first home that I paid for myself is another dormitory with about a 7 x 7 room shared by another girl.

Then, I lived in with my then-fiancee and toxic ex in a 2-BR apartment in the middle of a busy Manila baranggay. When he left me, along with needing to pay some unpaid rent, I moved into a smaller a 1-BR apartment. Both were in the middle of a noisy, crazy Manila neighborhood where people drink and gossip 24/7.

So, fast forward to the pandemic doom, I got initial info (being an EHS & BCP person) that there would be lockdowns. My then-fiancee now-husband and I then rushed packing and left our condo unit (even after spending hours panic-buying some supplies) to go home. We never really imagined the pandemic lasting years, so for the first 3 months, we lived with our parents... transitioning between his parents' place and mine while we work remotely. But then, since we are getting married, we decided to buy a house. If there's one thing the pandemic made us realize is that HEALTH IS IMPORTANT... and he and I both know that we cannot live in a boxed condo as a permanent home. Luckily, his work perks allowed us to choose a model unit (fully furnished but a bit outdated) so it's basically ready for occupancy. It took us barely 6 months to get the papers settled (while also preparing for our wedding) but we got it.

We now live in a 2-story house located in a city in Laguna, near an SLEX exit. I'll save the logistical, administrative costs and construction gulatan costs for another story, but we were able to save enough to have some improvements like a gate, home gym, pocket garden, and repainting. We'll be spending our third Christmas (WOW) here and yes, it's still the life I want because:

Province life allows for a slower, mellower life. I am not sure if I can put it into words but there's something about waking up, walking down the stairs, taking a peek at the window and seeing Lolas sweeping their front yard, smiling and waving at you. There are neighbors who even if we rarely go out, reaches out to us to ask how we are, share a laugh or two. There are kids going to and from school. Even the traffic is way way better, not only because its decongested but because people are not in a rush? Like, kapag naluwas kami para pumasyal or for work, even a 2-3 second delay from the go-signal would cause people behind us to hit their horns like they are dying. Gulat na gulat kami at how full of rage drivers are, while here, people tend to give way. Though may mga kupal minsan, pero like 1:50 ang ratio compared sa NCR na 40:50 ata.

Everything is accessible. Maybe it's the smart location that the village is located, but Nuvali is 15 minutes away so we get to do our weekend runs and grocery shopping there every weekend. When we want a different view, Alabang or Makati is barely an hour away. We also have access to foodpanda and Grab, so we can also order food. And, when we grow tired of that, we also have an online Facebook page for the village where we can order food and have it delivered too. Kanina lang nga, dahil naka-isolation kami, pati pandesal inorder namin sa online village store.

The view can easily put you in a better mood. I remember during the MECQs, we'll just jump in the car and do a quick drive-thru run to Mcdonald's or Starbucks. We'll sometimes bring the cats with us para masanay sila. We'll eat inside the car, just open the windows a bit and see lush greens around us. On days when work feels too much or when I get depressive or anxious episodes, we'll just drive around, and instantly, I feel better as we pass by trees, farm lands and sunset view. When we run too, there's always a mini trail to discover.

We are nearer to our families. Though we may not be able to visit them as often as we want, but connecting is easier. We can have lunch outs over the weekends, or they can easily visit us at home and spend some time together. Malawak yun bahay at bakuran, so they can sleep over. Kapag may emergency, iba pa din yun may mga kakilala kahit paano na pwedeng takbuhan. We have my husband's office mates near the village and my Dad's office is also 30 minutes away from where we live. So, minsan sa amin din sya nauwi. Our house also offers a breathe of fresh air sa Mom ko when she wants to relax and play with her apos aka cats LOL.

Expenses are cheaper. Gas, groceries, services are cheaper here. Though we are not safe from the ~golden era~, we do have options like talipapa or wet markets. Since nearer din kami sa mga sakahan or isdaan, mas mura din talaga yun mga fresh produce. Sa Nuvali and LB area, madalas din may community market. Also, the 18K rent we paid for the condo? Imagine we pay less than that and we are owning this house after a few years. To share, even the 7K rent I paid for the 1-BR apartment can pay for a house here in Laguna too. No, I don't think renting is a waste of money since tinitirhan nyo naman sya, but imagine how getting a house can be a future asset (yun lupa, hindi yun bahay, but that's also another topic). But basically, LAND does not decrease in value ever. Ever ever. Kaya din bahay kinuha namin over condo.

There is space - to move, to breathe and to grow. Literally and figuratively. Literally, I am lucky to have my own home gym, and garden and garage that like now that we are in isolation, we can move around. It's easier to partition our lives between work and home, kasi may home office din ako. May place to sleep, to eat, to work out and that's important for an ADHD person like me. There also is room to grow... ewan ko pero the more I see how people can live in the provinve, the more lumawak yun pananaw at pangarap ko. No, I don't want a bigger house, but I now know that having a slow and steady life is possible. Yun, hindi kailangan pagod at ngarag to earn money, because people here, maraming may passive income and all. Parang here, money flows in even when you don't do much. Hindi ko ma-explain pero siguro totoo yun kapag mas malawak yun paligid mo, mas feeling mo din hindi ka nakakahon? (Though, we really need to do some spring cleaning LOL kasi ang kalat na ng bahay.)

My mental health has greatly improved. Probably because of all the reasons mentioned above. But, you know, taking myself away from that hustle and bustle of the city, really allowed me to slow down and think about what I really want in life. Dito sa probinsya ko narealize na life doesn't need to be complicated. Dito ko din na-allow ang sarili ko stop when I tend to want want want a lot? Kasi, in the midst of every grit and grind work day, masaya ako to just slow down, have a coffee or a glass of wine and spend time with my husband and cats. And really, that's all I need. In a world that tells you that you need to work-out, prep food, be excellent at work, learn new things, have a hobby, stay connected with loved ones and all sorts of MUSTS, the province life allowed me to tone it down and just do what I can. The more we do so much minsan, the more we lose who we are... or that's how I feel. The province life allows me to be just me~ whoever I want to be.

I know not everyone has this privilege, and for this I am grateful - for the opportunities that came our way, for the blessings given to us and for the hard work we put in. 🧿 It's weird pero the pandemic really did turn our life around, kasi naipakita sa akin kung ano yun importante - Health, connections and peace of mind. Yan lang pala talaga kailangan ko.

So, anyways, ayun lang. If you have the chance, give it a think. Alam ko hindi lahat possible ito sa work nila, but this is also why I chose to make it a non-negotiable when I consider work offers. Either remote or hybrid. Because this is now home and I can't sacrifice this peace for career progression or additional pay.

I hope you read this not feeling like I am boasting. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko inakalang dadating ako sa ganitong level of contentment... o baka natuto lang talaga akong maging grateful sa araw-araw. Good or bad, there's always something positive (gaya ng antigen test namin, eme). Nagpapasalamat lang talaga ako sobra for being here... so I really try to pay it forward too. My husband, I noticed, does the same na din. Every chance we get, we share our blessings.

Universe, thank you. I trust that 2023 would only bring us closer to the simple farm life we want. 🧿. 🪬. 👁️‍🗨️.
