Hello Hive friends! I hope you all are having a beautiful weekend!?

This time I write again about the same kind of food because I have created a nice new video for you! While in my last video you saw me cooking the banana leaves, this time I show you the process of wrapping the ingredients of Suman (grated cassava, coconut, and sugar) into the banana leaves, and I really hope you enjoy to watch the process!

Also this time I am not selling the food but made it for myself as a snack which I take together with my beloved black coffee!

Who is reading my blog already knows that my preferred side job beside being a domestic helper is to prepare food and sell it on the street. But that is illegal in Hong Kong, and unfortunately, not long ago another seller got caught by the police! That's a truly awkward situation ... but at the moment I don't dare to sell food outside anymore ... I wish that one day I can go back to the Philippines so that I can open my own business and completely legally sell my own food ... maybe dreaming for now, but I hope possible in future!!

Now I hope you enjoy the video and the photos of my newest Suman na Kamoteng Kahoy!

Dear Hive friends! This is the first time I am posting in the Hive Open Mic community! I am not a professional singer like maybe some of you(?) but I love to sing and I hope you enjoy my song!

I am happy to join Hive Open Mic #262 with the theme "Holy Week". I chose the song "One Day At A Time" by Cristy Lane.

I like to sing this song when I feel I like to connect with Jesus. If life is a struggle sometimes and I feel like tumbling it helps me to sing this song and feel that someone cares of me and gives me strength, it helps me to feel better again then...

I wish you all a blessed holy week!

Hi Hive friends! Here I am sharing again what I always do to earn some extra cash here in Hong Kong: preparing and selling food!

You know that Filipinos in Hong Kong always starve to eat some Filipino kakanin (snacks based on glutinous rice) like Suman na Kamoteng Kahoy, Cassava Cake (also known as Kamoteng Kahoy), and many more! But today I only want to write about 2 of these yummy Filipino snacks, both based on cassava.

Oh yeah... This is really my favorite, and my parents keep making this since we were little kids. They prepare this kind of food to sell it or sometimes also just as a tasty dish for the family to eat, especially on special occasions.

It's fun to make but here in Hong Kong banana leaves are sometimes hard to find. They are used to wrap the other ingredients (grated cassava, coconut, and sugar) to add a typical banana leave taste but also to keep the content moist enough during steaming. As Suman na Kamoteng Kahoy gets only steamed, no oven is needed.

Anyway, it's very yummy and I like is especially together with black coffee!

Here you can find a recipe and a detailed explanation about how to make Suman na Kamoteng Kahoy yourself.

And that's how it looks like when I prepare it:

Oh yes! I love food! And I have to tell a story about Cassava Cake. The first time I tried this food when I was in my 1st high school year. And when I tasted this yummy cassava I was so amazed by its taste! I kept telling myself that one day I could make this kind of food, too... And finally, after many years, when I began to sell food in Hong Kong, I tried to make Cassava Cake myself ... I am so happy that nowadays many of my customers really love my Cassava Cake. Actually, it has become my most popular kakanin, hehe!

Cassava cake is baked (maybe you also can try to stem it) and therefore an oven is needed. When I was a child some people also used a pogon (furnace) for that purpose as they couldn't afford an oven.

Here you can find a very good guidance about how to make Cassava Cake yourself.

So now I want to show you how I prepare Kamoteng Kahoy... The hardest part when making this kind of kakanin is to grate the cassava! ... Enjoy the pictures!

## Hello Hive folks! Do you still remember my push-up challenge?

Can you believe it: I already reached my goal to do 20 push-ups in a row, that means I WON the push-up challenge!!

To make it more interesting, today I show you not only my push ups (yes, you can watch me winning that challenge! Hehe) but at the beginning also part of my gym routine.

You know, I am really excited that recently I made some progress in doing push-ups! I already noticed how my muscles in arms, shoulders and chest are getting stronger! But I still have many other aims to reach. Can you for example believe how hard sit-ups are, if you didn't practice them since quite I while? I can tell you ... that is the next area needing some improvement! Hehe

What are your current ambitions or aims in sports?

## Spending my Sunday as a Voluntary Servant!

Yes! Here in Hong Kong there are lots of communities that we can join! Since I live in Hong Kong I love to meet people in church who are so busy doing something every Sunday. They are singing! They do cleaning. And so many more which I always experience when going to the Catholic church on Sundays.

I remember the first time I attempted to join the community was on my birthday, June 14, 2020, on a Sunday. At that time I felt so blessed in life, I was so happy that my situation had improved that I wanted to give something in return. So I offered someone in the St. Joseph Church to clean the toilet which they are doing every Sunday. But they replied that I can't just clean without joining the community as well. Thats how my routine started of doing work in the church and its sourroundings every Sunday. Sometimes we visit prisoners, homes for the elderly, helping kids and many more.

As you can see in the pictures, these kids are so happy, and so I am as well... I don't know why, but I love kids as I love being like a kid myself sometimes, hehe... Well, I love to do whatever tasks are given to me, but I especially enjoy being with playing kids. I enjoy my time with them as I love to play like them, too... (isip bata ang lagay bah... hehehe). Actually, so far I visited this St. Louis School in Sai Wan Hong Kong only twice, for playing with and helping the kids. Seeing them happy fills my heart with joy.

Good morning Hive! This is my first 3Speak video.

I'll show you some gym I did in May 2024 in the Philippines. There was only to pay 70 pesos for a whole day in that fitness studio! Most of the time I prefer to do jogging or dancing as I didn't enroll in that fitness centre but it was a great day there, yeah!

Hopefully you like this video, and I also hope to post more of that stuff in future!

Have a great day and God bless!!
