Living Solo: 10 Essential Food Items For the Bachelor Lifestyle
Living Solo Tips with Renzie Baluyut.
Cooking is great, and so is eating out and taking out. But when you live on your own, sometimes you just don’t feel like going through all the trouble to just feed yourself. Particularly so coming home after a busy day, or just staying in on a lazy weekend.
Cooking entails so much prep work, and so much to wash for just an audience of one: yourself. Eating out means having to get dressed, finding a place to eat, and usually spending more than you should. And take out makes sense pretty much when you’re ordering a lot- but sometimes a large box of pizza is just too much, even for yourself.
Which is why, as someone living solo, you should always have some convenient food items handy in your apartment:
1. Bread.
2. An assortment of sandwich meat.
3. An assortment of spreads and condiments.
4. Cereal.
5. Fruit.
6. Tuna and sardines.
7. Veggies.
8. Instant noodles.
9. Cookies and crackers.
10. Rice.

10 Ways to Relax on a Rainy Day
by Renzie Baluyut
It’s the rainy season at around this time of year in the Philippines, so you can expect the usual downpour in the afternoons and early evenings. There’d be times when it would be raining all day, and if you’re really lucky, you’ll find yourself in the path of the occasional tropical storm.
It’s that time of the year when it’s most prudent to bring an umbrella with you everywhere you go. You take your chances if you’re planning an open-air event, and you always have to plan for contingencies when making out-of-town trips.
When I used to deal with events for the old radio station I was working for, this was the time of the year when we would plan a lot of indoor activities. I would have a preference for events and promos involving spas, restaurants, hotels, movies and lots of shopping. Of course, you do your best to come up with more creative executions of all kinds of below-the-line activities.
So if you’re looking for a few ways to just kick back and take it easy on a rainy day- something that doesn’t involve a PC or your workstation in any way possible- here are a few tips that might just hit the spot.
