Do You Think Your Dude Needs To Be More Affectionate?
relationship troubleshooting with Renzie Baluyut.
A friend of mine messaged me on Yahoo the other day, and asked me for my opinion about what she should do with her current boyfriend.
Now this is a good friend of mine from way back, so we had the customary chit-chat and catching up before she got down to the actual problem- which took up the better part of the rest of our conversation.
The Situation:
So here’s how it goes: My friend works in China. She’s from the Philippines too, but her man is Indian. They get together along just fine, but for some reason she feels like he isn’t expressive enough for her- whether vocally or physically. So that’s her first main concern.
He does however, discuss their future as a couple. And all his friends and family know about her.
Here’s her second concern: her man works four hours away from where she lives. And while they’ve been together for some time now, he doesn’t come over to her place. Instead, he insists she come over to his part of China to hang out.
So anyway, since she always tries to get him to be more affectionate, or keeps on asking him to come over to her place instead, she’s beginning to think she’s demanding, needy and clingy. And this drives her crazy because she knows she’s not an overly demanding, needy or clingy girlfriend, based on her past relationships.

When Life Gives You Onions…
make onion soup with Renzie Baluyut.
They say the hallmark of any good cook is how he makes soup.
Personally, I’m big on soups. I love it. But you can do so much more than just popping a can open, or pouring hot water into a prepacked styro cup, or emptying a pouch onto a pot.
Don’t get me wrong- instant or ready-to-eat soups is alright sometimes, but when it’s time to break out some cooking skills, then you have to know how to make some soup.
Heck, you don’t even have to be a Top Chef to pull something off like a good soup. I say we can always use this opportunity to hone our kitchen-craft, and fill a few eager bellies with nourishment and love.
Or in this case, some onion soup.
Here’s a fairly simple, yet delicious and hearty soup you can make, particularly so when you have a whole lotta onions lying around the house.
French Onion Soup.
The classic French Onion Soup is primarily made of caramelized onions in beef stock, with croutons, and melted cheese on top.
