Dear Diary,
Let's get away from the self pity that I am always doing here and let's make some attention seeking diary - I didn't mean it but somehow it feels like that.
I stumbled upon a math problem in FB (see picture below) and it took me one hour to realize that this can be probably solved by simply thinking that there are two squares with circle each and then isolating all the shaded region to one square.
Then, you'd come up with subtracting the area of a the square with the area of a circle.
However, I'm too lazy to solve the values and most importantly, establishing geometric proofs for it.
The rest of my day was doing some lazy stuffs - music, chess, PUBG lite (comment below if you wanna play with me), preparing some scholarship requirements, and doing some household responsibilities like cooking a basic Filipino food - Ginisa
It's just a mix of vegetables cut, washed and boiled to soften from the hardest one (such as squash, green peas etc) and lastly, put the softest (w/c are leaves). Before the leaves, you have to mixed Magic Sarap and MSG, it is some Filipino favorite cancer-inducing condiments, add some salt, pepper powder into casserole pot. Then, you'll taste them to know how much bland or salty, ok, you get my point, it's for adjustments.
Primarily, pork is added first before the vegetables but unfortunately, today, we don't have that. Other than that, I fried some fish. Man, I hate frying. Heated oil just go crazy and I can't help myself to not curse while I'm frying. Fvck this angry cooking oil. -said by some idiot like me.
I just learned some Filipino foods like Sinigang, Nilaga, Tinola and Ginisa in this time of pandemic because of anxiety arising from idleness. They're all just closely related when it comes procedure. I call this methods "tapon tapon lang". In English, it's just throwing vegetables into the pot and tadda! You have a meal. Sorry for that exaggeration but it isn't that literal when I say it's basic.
I have almost mastered them except for other Filipino foods like
(Ranked from what I feel as basic to most complicated)
1.Adobo and Chopsuey (sometimes I cook this but I'm have not mastered it yet),
2.Menudo, Sisig and Kare Kare (I have no idea how they cook this)
Honestly, I have a very basic cooking experience but I am now eager to learn to cook other meals.
So that's all I did today. How about yours?
