ensaymada

Aside from browsing, job searching, and downloading movie torrents. I was fascinated with "Baking" and this is my "Try something New" per se for 2018. The baking tools in the house is sufficient enough for me to start. 

My second project is Ensaymada. its a classic butter and sugar bread all the way through. Not much of a success here, I think I am still learning how my oven works. The Heating element control is somewhat independent. UP and DOWN. There is no way to use both.

Huawei

Android's latest model. Nonetheless its Riley. I was thinking of putting Huawei on this edit. But then i came across HTC brand logo and the android eating apple parody. It turned out something like this. Which is more hilarious and of course, brilliant.

22 days to go

I've kept myself busy. Just to battle this emptiness i have been experiencing lately. Try to learn new things.... like adobe photoshop cs3 ( out of bounds effects) and other sorts of photo manipulation. Housework (laundry, ironing' cooking' )  But whatever i do,  there is a certain point.., where my mind drifts off ( takes me to a happy place  that i am with my wife and child riley) I missed them a lot. Now i just realized ... happiness is  being with them (all the time) the reasons, the seasons of my life.

Happyness

LifePad

Done and dusted for the past few months. So many things happened, that should have never happened by the way. My smartphone thrown away in a washing machine (wash, rinse and dry - about 39 minutes or so)
then my wife lost her smartphone (somewhere in the mall) All of this and Nothing,, thats Life - after using it for 2 years. Things that rust and suddenly you feel the pain of lost. No picture takings, no video shoots for Riley. Somehow, the only thing that survived is my Sim Card. My Galaxy S still works, but you cannot do anything on the screen. I have been tired and tested at work too. To think , that i am not capable of producing high volumes at work. Sometimes, I don't believe in myself anymore at work. They made me feel like this. Loads of crap and rubbish talks is all i get - but in the end - i had to endure all of this non-sense, i just dont know - how long i can take it. The pain in my left wrist is still there, it never fades away after all this time. Doing a general work everyday is daunting and really tiring - I dont even get a sort of appreciation for what im doing. I'm just there, silently strapping along. Finish the time and go home.

Good Friday

You broked the bonds
You loosened the chains
You carried the cross
of my shame
You know i believed it
But I still haven't found
what I'm looking for...


- taken from "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by Everything But The Girl (live in liverpool) Bono of U2 made this song a hit, but for Tracey Thorn it wasn't. Have a Good Friday everyone.

Riley Magistrado

My boy
My son
My Joy
My little one

My worry
My affection
My mini - me
My greatest creation

My growing star
My soft pillow kiss
My sweet and sour
My complete bliss

My pleasure and pain
My sunshine and rain
My one and only
My light of love, Riley
