tomato salsa.. my new food fad

this is not a foodie blog.. just an entry on food..

i have a new food fad.. just like few months ago where i ate few dozens of eggs.. which has deposit around the midriff.. errghh..

so in order to counter the bulging area, i'm on a not-so-strict diet. i reduce my food intake.. which i've done since forever with the additional tomato salsa thrown in.

i've noticed that i've somewhat nearing the OCD type.. this excessive behavior of eating tomato salsa did bother my stomach.. but since it is tasty and healthy.. so why not.. this week i've consumed more than dozen of tomato.. which is good considering i used to hate tomato..

i hope my complexion will be glowing with lots of vitamin c from the tomato.. not turning red though.. hehehe.. well if anybody bother to try.. this is how i made mine.. there are gazzillion recipes out there if you googled it..

such as this simple salsa.

• 2 medium size tomato.. make sure it is fresh
• 1 lime (not the small limau kasturi)
• 1 stalk of scallion (daun bawang)
• 2 cili padi (add more if you like your salsa to be super hot)
• salt and pepper to taste

1. chopped everything except the lime.. squeeze the lime to get the juice and mix everything together.. salt and pepper to taste. 
2. refrigerate for at least an hour before serves.

by the way... this could be used as air asam for ikan bakar, daging rebus etc.. simply divine.. bukan simply siti.. hehehehe 

over consumerism..

is there such words as consumerism? i guess there is since this word is not underline red. hehe..

being reading about freeganism and watching shows like Oprah, Rachel Ray etc talking about consumerism, freeganism and etc.

i've noticed that we are currently living in the world where people are measured by what they have, what they wear, what they owned. there is no such thing as berjimat cermat. needs versus want is no longer part of the thinking process when buying things are involved. so we buy things that we don't actually need and fill up our house like some sort of national museum, cluttering space and fill up the land fills.

i'm no eco movement members, but i wish to do my part in saving my earth for my anak cucu. i like the no plastic bag day. wish i could do more. i've done my best to minimise the plastic bags and the result is that my plastic bag container (enhem.. bought at Ikea nevertheless) is becoming more empty. i used the plastic bag as garbage bag.. i know i know.. plastic bad.. heh!

i'm so glad that my credit cards debt is getting smaller and by early next year.. I'm credit card debt free.. wup wup.. Credit Card is BAD.. the idea of having credit card for emergency is CRAP!! you'll be tempted my dear.. trust me.. whenever there is something calling at the window shop, you'll dip into your pocket and when the cash is not there, you'll be tempted by the plastic.. trust me.. been there, done that.. i'll save cash for emergency.. credit cards will lead to over consumption.

this is my friends, the point of my rambling. i've noticed that without that plastic devil, i've spent less on the things that i don't need. i mean how many clothes that u need in a month. some item have expired date. why buy something and throw it away? i've become more prudent in spending. i know i'm not cheapskate.. i'm just more careful with what i buy. i put more thoughts before buying anything, whether it is a need or just a want..

i know, our country/government do the opposite of what they talked. we have more shopping mall than hospitals. we have more 'along'. of course they have banks.. but banks are not helping us to save money.. they as us to spend money. trust me.. how many trust fund one could have..

it is ok if we have more debt as long as we have the coolest, latest, newest thing. the front page news cover story like some retard willing to risk his limb over some gadget, people are willing to travel hundreds of kilometer, sleep in car and queue for 24 hours just to be the first buying the same gadget. Duhhhh!

i've read somewhere.. we are a fool if we buy something we don't need to impress people that we don't like.. how true is that?

i finally off the grid of mukebuku

i've done it.. i've deactivate it. it was easy. i thought i would have 2nd thought about it but disconnecting it was easy.

i've been idle for months so why just i deactivate it. it doesn't bring any good. i will miss my friends but sometimes u don't need a lot of friends to be happy but true friends will be there for you no matter what or where.

i'll maintain my whereabout in the cyberworld here, in my own blog. rambling everything into nothing.. the void world of wide web world.

for those who know me.. it's nothing personal.. i just hate it.. the thing called mukebuku.. i have nothing against my friend. if they cared enough for me they'll know how to get to me even though i'm no longer connected through mukebuku.

there. i've said it and done it.. off to do more productive thing.
