Junk Terror Bill Focaccia

Decades later, faced with an authoritarian government, Filipinos are reclaiming these words. Maybe a little literally? Like this Junk Terror Bill focaccia by home cook and author @rosankatlea

Filipinos Are Protesting the Anti-Terror Bill Through Baked Goods

The Philippines' Anti-Terror Bill has caused an uproar. With just President Rodrigo Duterte's signature needed to make it law, residents are doing what they can to push back.

Being a Wellness Enthusiast is Too Much Pressure!

How is the pursuit of wellness making you well? Or is it just making you fall into a trap of 'That Girl' aesthetics and putting up a certain image? Hey, no judgements here. It's really tricky to find the wellness that fits you well but it's also an exciting journey to find your balance.

Is it okay if I don't have big, lofty dreams?

Most successful, most popular, most liked, best... etc. the fancy titles of the world don't hurt, in fact they're awesome too! But what if you see yourself live an average life? Is that a blemish to your personality? What if you're plain old vanilla and choose to be at peace with it?
