Why English Can Be So Intimidating
When trying to cook an unfamiliar dish, I often get frustrated by the nose-bleeding ingredients written in English. Then when you google them, ito lang pala ‘yun:
Coriander = Kinchay
Red Bird’s Eye Chillies = Siling Labuyo
Flageolet = Buto ng Baguio Beans
Courgettes = Other term for Zucchini (Hawig ng Pepino)
Cantaloupe = Melon
Bamboo Shoots = Labong
Kaffir Lime Leaves = Dahon ng Kalamansi
Porcini = Mushroom
Anchovies = Dilis
Beansprouts = Toge
Shallot = Maliit na Sibuyas
Harissa = A kind of Hot Chili Sauce
Watercress = Lampaka
Mange Tout = Beans ulit

“Their motivation was only ever to make things. And to get out of bed in the morning excited about what they were going to do that day.”
—Simon Collison
“Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold onto something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted.”
—Henry Rollins
“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.” —William W. Purkey

And live like it’s heaven on earth.” —William W. Purkey
“Nostalgia - it’s delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek, ‘nostalgia’ literally means ‘the pain from an old wound.’ It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It let’s us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know we are loved.”
—Mad Men
“Jesus is always able to save those who approach God through him, since He lives forever to make intercession for them.”
—Hebrews 7:25
