i am not new to pinterest but i only ever use it to browse through and save "inspo" for arts, design, aesthetics, etc. and i have never used it to post my own photos, that is until a few days ago. i still save photos/art for inspo but i like how the interface makes your photos look more fluid. instagram's square design looks too clinical, and limits the dimensions of photos and videos you could upload, unlike on pinterest where you could have combinations of media in varying sizes, and they fit in a puzzle kind of way, the feed looks much more relaxed and personalized.

One of the best influences a friend had on me is to make a Pinterest board of my own photos. Unlike apps like Instagram, a personal board allows you to fully fill it with yourself unabashedly. Mine works as a digital diary of everywhere I’ve been or seen. But, you could fill it with recipes, outfits, photography, anything. In time you will have created a collage reflective of yourself.

Especially when it comes to their other app, Shuffles, making collages on Pinterest feels like one of the hobbies I can do digitally, So far, I made a handful of collages.

any sort or rice porridge- whether plain congee which is just rice cooked in water or arroz caldo, rice porridge with chicken (so kinda like a cross between porridge and chicken soup)

i started making my own kimchi because my spice tolerance is not very high but i really like kimchi, so i make it on my own to adjust to my taste. i have done other fermented/preserved food as well (pickles, radishes, bean sprouts, carrots, marinated eggs). as someone who likes to cook but also gets regular bouts of laziness, these prepared foods have been a lifesaver and moneysaver. i usually pair it with rice, which if you have a rice cooker isn't really much of a bother to do, or i simply snack on them. and since they are fermented or preserved most of these items are even better the longer they sit, so i can make a big batch on my energetic days and not worry about them going bad so soon.
pictured here: my new batch of kimchi, will probably wait a few days or a week before i start eating, but good to know i have something for the coming weeks

the ultimate perk of living by yourself: you can eat cake with a fork without having to get a slice each time, just dig right into it. the benefits: (1) not having to clean a plate everytime you eat, you can even just leave a fork in it to use; (2) you can eat as much or as little as you want without having to measure the "right" slice; (3) the satisfying feeling of exercising your free will.
this might seem mundane or gross or whatever, but hey, if it's just you at home nobody's gonna judge 😜
