Day 25 – Your favorite: Recipe and comfort food

Published by Justine

My favorite recipe is the super easy to do BCP (Bacon Cheese Pasta), which can also be called a simple carbonara. It’s always been my go to pasta recipe because I’m more into white sauce than red. Ingredients include, but not limited to: 1 pack of pasta – any sort, but I like to use either linguine, spaghetti, or fettuccine. I’ve tried it with farfalle and rigatoni and it just didn’t work (the photos on google images look so good though!). 3 eggs 1 to 2 blocks of cheese – mozarella or parmesan (tried both and it works well) 3-5 long bacon strips Boil/cook the pasta, I like to put a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt to the pan so it doesn’t stick too much. While the pasta cooks you can crack your eggs open and beat them until they’re mixed well. Grate your cheese block. GRATE IT ALL until finish and put them in a bowl together with the beated eggs. At this point you can add seasoning if you …

Day 23 – What’s your schedule like?

Published by Justine

I like talking about my schedule. I start work mid afternoons usually around 2/3/4pm and I’m out by midnight. I like this schedule for a lot of reasons, I’ve always been a night owl and almost nocturnal so this schedule enables me to sleep late, and wake up late (which is probably the best thing in the world). I get to do bank errands in the morning, or have a late brunch with friends, and I can use whatever break I have at night to have dinner with friends or with family and I wouldn’t be too tired (con: limited time though). On Fridays I get to go straight to a chill night of drinking, or usually a party, whatever is happening that night. In my previous 8-5 jobs back in Jakarta I would always be guilty of sleeping late (waaay past midnight) and waking up early (at ungodly hours of 5 or 6am), usually getting only 3-4 hours of sleep because I would stay up and catch up on my shows, my feeds, and …

Day 22 – Tell me: What do you want to do for a living?

Published by Justine

At this point in my quarter life, I think I definitely belong in the millenial workforce. I like a flexible schedule in an office but not entirely doing the same shit every day. I like being in a team where my brain cells are constantly activated and working, and I’m able to generate ideas and implement them. That’s what I would like to do and I think I want my career to keep going that direction (with improvement, of course) wherever I work. Having said that, my hobbies and interests have always leaned towards the performing arts. I love to sing and dance. Choreographed and technical dancing is something I’m not entirely great at, but singing, on the other hand is something that I’m quite confident in, even though I lack a lot of practice. My secret (well not so secret anymore) dream job would be an acoustic cover singer in nice hotels or bars, or even in cruise ships and hotels abroad. I don’t know why. Alas, the future didn’t take me there but …

Day 21 – Memories: Where have you traveled?

Published by Justine

So many memories to fill in just one post. I haven’t traveled to that many places, but I can definitely say I’ve traveled enough and lived in another country long enough to understand different cultures better, be more open minded about certain situations, and have dealt with my fair share of travel experiences. I’ve traveled alone and with people and I can definitely say while traveling alone is great, nothing beats the company of friends and/or family. I’ve yet to travel to these continents: Europe, America, and Africa. I would love to in the near future! My last memorable travel was to Seoul last year. It made me learn a couple of things about myself, how I hate the cold, but I love Seoul so so so so much. I think it’s a place I wouldn’t visiting from time to time to remind myself that order in a city/country is possible in a world of chaos. One country/city I’m very familiar with as much as my own is Singapore. I’ve been to Singapore every year (sometimes twice or thrice) …
