Good morning y'all.
This week has been busy and I got a text from the HRAD of the company I was applying for an exam and an interview last Thursday. I woke up at 5:15 am and came there before 8 am. I thought there was only one exam. I took 5 which consists of a language exam, myers-briggs exam, f-scale exam, abstract exam and the Guilford-Zimmerman exam. Luckily, I was able to be interviewed early and was able to finished at 3:30 pm. I thought that I wouldn't be able to get my requested documents from school.
Anyway, I was familiar with the Myers-Briggs Test. What caught my eye was the F-scale and the Guilford-Zimmerman test.
I tried taking the F-scale test online and it shows I'm normal.

A Cup of Tea
Tea. That is something that I like drinking. I like drinking tea in the morning, after eating meals or during mid-afternoon. I like drinking it when the weather is cold. Do you know that it is not called a tea if it is not taken from the plant Camellia sinensis? Otherwise, it is called a herbal infusion.
Drinking tea must have grown into me. 'Cause you know, I like it. Don't get me wrong. I also like drinking coffee. But for some unknown reason, it makes me sleepy. I get to have a quality sleep whenever I'm drinking coffee the night before. Too much milk and sugar? Maybe. However, I just remembered drinking coffee with minimal sugar and milk. Or wait, is it because it's mild? But how about the cold roasted coffee from Nescafe in a can? I kind of remembered that it was sweet yet it was effective for a pick me up.
So how did I start drinking tea? A couple of years ago, I was working part time on a grocery store and one of its perks is the freebies/samples. My supervisor gave me a sample of the Lipton milk tea powder and I just love it that it somehow inspired me. It made me think how they are able to make it because you know, it is a kind of pricey for my standard.
Days and months passed, I started drinking black tea from lipton. For some unknown reason, it just dawned on me to put a lot of creamer and sugar. Maybe it was the milk tea craze at that time. And yes, it tastes just as the lipton milk tea. I also tried adding milk from jasmine, earl grey, lemon and green tea but I still go back to the former. Black tea + loads of milk + sugar that is adjusted to your taste = Heaven.
One thing I like about tea is that I can drink it without milk and sugar. I've been trying to listen to my body and noticed that I tend to get susceptible to colds whenever I've consumed dairy products so as much as possible I stay away from it. When it comes to brand, I think the Gold Leaf brand is acidic. Lipton is a little expensive but their taste is okay especially their green tea. I like the Lyons brand. It’s throat-friendly. I tried their red tea, lemon tea, English breakfast, earlgrey tea which was good for colds, and I personally prefer its jasmine tea because it helps me relax. I used to drink it when it is cut-off day for the reimbursements because the week is stressful because I get load of papers that I need to process. Okay, I’m ranting but I’m grateful for that because I get to have my own mini-game version. I set goals and find it satisfying when I finished them at the set time.
Do you like drinking tea or coffee? If you're going to ask me if I was a coffee or a tea drinker, you've already got your answer. Have you ever notice that I used the word "like" a lot of times in this entry? Maybe "like" is not the right word. Maybe it's love.

Corn on the Cob: How to Boil and Eat It
So who's up for a corn in a cob, yo?
Haha. Trying to mimic a habit of Jesse Pinkman from the TV Series Breaking Bad (And if you have the time, you should check that out :)).
Anyway, do you like eating corn? I just love eating corn in a cob. I personally love it when it is a Japanese sweet corn and is taken in the stomach with a splurge of butter and minimal salt to taste. I've been meaning to do a grilled corn. Probably later. Oh... yum. Just imagining it makes me salivate now.
Funny how I used to boil it for about 30 minutes thinking that corn is slow to cook. The result: the water where the corn is boiled has turned deeply yellow and I get a bland taste of corn which I don't get to enjoy. So with a dilemma on hand, I look it up on the Internet and whoalah!! I found out that I was doing it all wrong!
So how do I boil it? The internet says it would take for about 3-5 minutes for it to cook. I would say that based on experience, it would also depend on how big or small where you'll boil it. Small pot - yes, it's true it takes 3-5 minutes but it may take quite longer if you're boiling it in a large pot.
How about the indication that it is done? If you have been fond of cooking vegetables (i.e. stir frying, boiling) and been watching them cook like I habitually do due to the notion that I might burn them if I leave them, you'll see that from dark green it turns bright green. The same goes with the corn with the exception of course that it's yellow.
After successfully boiling it, here comes the fun part: eating corn.
So how do you eat it? I don't like eating my corn messy. But I know you think it's ironic since eating corn on a cob especially with butter IS messy. It's just that I don't like any corn bits sticking between my teeth.
Anyhow, this is how I eat corn: I pick out a part of the cob where I twist one it in a clockwise direction until it became loose. I work in one layer first until I consumed it all and then after that it becomes easy since I'll just have to put my thumb between the 2nd layer and move it to the right where the first layer was.
I know that it takes time and patience man but there's this adage: Patience is a virtue. Savor the moment and enjoy eating it.

The remaining 4 layers of corn I need to gobble up.

Let's do Herb Gardening!
I love looking at plants. And who wouldn't? I've read somewhere that the authentic green is the most relaxing to the eyes. Having plants in your home and in the workplace will help to your relaxation too.
Oh, it just reminds me of my childhood days when I was still in the province.
My grandfather was a farmer. When I was young, we used to live in our grandparents house. During weekends, I would stroll outside and take the time to appreciate the beauty of nature.
I missed the crisp smell of the trees. The breath of fresh air. The invigorating feeling of nature.
------
And so I think the memory triggered my impulsive behavior that after attending the 9:00 am novena at Baclaran church with my mom, I went to take a stroll in Baclaran. And while having my own little adventure, I was able to walk on by a display of plants. At the spur of the moment decision, I purchase plants. Herbal plants in fact.
I was able to read about herbs recently and found it interesting. It can be used as a tea, an addition to our food in order to make it more flavorful, and can be used for aromatherapy and so on and so forth. Our ancestors have no access to high technology and medical advancements as we have now and they relied on herbs. It came as a surprise that though we have the latest technologies and the like, people are gearing towards ancient medical practice. I guess despite misconceptions and myths, there's something to look forward to in herbs. Did you know that the medicine digitalis was derived from the plant foxglove?
It actually is one of my childhood dreams to have a garden full of herbs and vegetables and fruits.

According to Kuya, it was 35 pesos per plant. But since I'm buying 3 pieces of assorted plants, I purchase these babies for 100 pesos.
And hopefully, these would sprout into marigold seedlings *crossing fingers*.

Entry Baby!
Hello people! Or probably just me. Anyway, I decided (and yet again) to start another blog.
Why?
I guess this is one way of distracting me and my over thinking brain from any depressing thoughts because you know, I'm on my 12th day of being unemployed. Ha!
Worry not, I'm just 24 and I chose to look on the brighter things in life.
So, sit back, relax and hopefully you can enjoy the complicated life ramblings and craziness of Sanegeal Farmhear. :)
