Drool.

I made this today after work. If you follow me on instagram, you know what this is.

For the recipe, head on to my food blog, gula&garam :)

Tell Them...

You love them as much as possible and mean it.

A good friend of mine loss her father today unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. He was a nice good ol' man. I can't imagine her thinking process when she received the news. My mum said he was still at church this past Saturday, happy and all.

Funny how things like death acts as a wake-up call. It made me realized (again) that life is too short. You will never know when your time is up in Earth. Or your loved ones.

Hold tight to the ones you love. Tell them you love them, and mean it. Act nice to others. You always want to leave a good impression. Stay close to God (or to whatever you believe in) and surrender.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Silalahi.

So Mother Bolu Gave Birth...

...and Gula&Garam was born.

I was browsing around on some potential cafe/bakery ideas (a girl can dream, right?) and for some reason Gula & Garam popped up.

First, y'all like, WTF IS GULA & GARAM?

I'm Indonesian, so I like to stick to my roots on incorporating some Indo words in my world.

gula = sugar
garam = salt

I love me some Sweets and I love me some Savories.

What's the focus on G&G? Strictly about FOOD (#foodporn rejoice!).

So Bolu will not have recipes or food reviews anymore and those will migrate to G&G. Bolu will still have pictures of food when it's incorporated in a blog post. Bolu will be more like my lifestyle/savinglives/wannabenomad blog. Personal things. G&G will be my outlet for one of things that I'm super passionate about, food. As a future culinary/pastry student (this will happen, people!!!), I would like to have a separate outlet just focusing on food & drinks. Ok mainly more food.

So G&G is still a baby, so be kind, eh?

Feel free to visit Gula&Garam. It's on bloglovin' too :)

Oh hay

Oh hay people. You may noticed that I haven't been actively blogging lately.

Pretty much work has drained the crap out of me (I'm in search for a new job) and I've been having that writers block for the past month. Also, I'm pretty much busy planning up my upcoming travels (Europe in August & Asia in September).

And I'm researching on some Baking/Pastry Schools in the LA area that I'm planning to apply for in the Winter. Yes, people... My dream is coming closer.

So yes, I may be in a semi-hiatus from the Blog, it's because I'm trying to just live. Blogging was originally a side hobby of mine just to share my thoughts and ideas and rants.

Don't worry. I'm still here.

So is Chimmy.
