Sunday Treats To Evaluate Life Plan

At a table full of delicious treats while thinking about life plans.

How was your weekend? Maybe according to plan or not at all according to plan. It does sometimes end in a mess, but it doesn't mean your whole life is a mess.

I often experience a messy life. Many things don't go according to plan. But I avoid my mind from being messy, by choosing to do things that I can do.

One of them is I like to enjoy delicious dishes, while evaluating my life plan. With the experience of enjoying new flavors, my mind is refreshed. I gather new energies.




On Saturday night, I stayed at an affordable hotel with my husband. Then on Sunday morning, I enjoyed a buffet breakfast that made my good mood return.

In fact, I always choose a hotel with a delicious breakfast. Buffet food with many choices of food available. So, it really doesn't make us lose at all. We can taste many types of dishes, get many new taste experiences.

I arrived at the hotel restaurant at 6.30 am, and sure enough. Not many people had arrived yet. I did this on purpose so that I could freely photograph the menus at this hotel restaurant. If many people had arrived, I would have felt embarrassed to photograph the entire food in this place.


Initially, I asked a chef there to make an omelet. While waiting, then I went around to start choosing the food that I would enjoy for breakfast on Sunday Morning.

I chose fruits, also boiled sweet potatoes. Of course, there were many choices of fruits and vegetables for salad. However, I chose no salad dressing. I only chose papaya and melon.

With a more traditional choice, a sweet breakfast, I chose serabi cakes (rice pancakes served with a sweet and thick coconut sugar sauce).




Continuing to the main course area. Indonesian breakfast always serves heavy meals. But that is a subjective choice, because there are also many light menus.

There is rice, white rice and fried rice. Also, there are fried noodles. For the rice option, there are many side dishes provided. Also, the choice of vegetables, although not too varied. But mostly, the dishes are quite satisfying.

I chose potato wedges, with crispy sweet and sour fish, also garlic bakcoy. To beautify my plate, I added decorations on my plate using hot sauce. This is what I can do, but at least my plate does look a little cute to look at, ehehe.

Eating while thinking? No problem at all. I don't like eating while chatting. I choose to eat silently, but my mind is thinking about many things. At least I have to make peace with my thoughts. I even have to let go of things that don't go according to plan.

There are many plans in my life that don't go according to plan. But behind the failure, there is something else that can be created. I just need to look from the other side and change the method to make the plan work.

I just hate being a person who is stuck, without progress, without improvement. I hate just being a person who can't help others. I don't know, but I want in my life plans, I can help create many jobs for people around me. I don't know if it will come true, but I just want to help others. In the past, I had to go through poverty alone and it was very painful. But I want others not to feel the same way I did.

So, let's taste desserts for a sweet ending. Taro pudding that is not too sweet, then I combine it with small pieces of sweet baked cookies.

I always believe, nothing is really messy, when we intend to change the situation for the better. It never happens for people who never act. But once you get used to it, you will easily adapt to change.

Home is not about where you go home and feel comfortable, but where you put your soul. So, wherever your home is, you will always carry your soul with the memories that shape it all. Never be afraid to move and maybe it will give you a new home location. Just don't ever change your soul for a new place.


Best Regards,

The food at this hotel looks so fresh and delicious, especially the fruit. Rest, relaxation, and good food does good for the soul. Just as you said, home is more than just a place to go or return to and feel comfortable. Where your soul is, there lies your home.

I appreciate you sharing your life up to adulthood. Poverty is not something I would wish on anyone. Through no fault of their own, they slip into or are thrust into it. Growing up, my parents didn't have an abundance of resources such as money. We did have enough food for our daily lives. And what we had, my mother would share with others. She taught us to share with others and help as well if we possibly can.

Take care and have a good start to your week.

Yes, our past taught us survival skills and shaped our future and how we view ourselves and the world. Although painful, I'm grateful for the experience. As you say, we're now "warriors" armed with fortitude and knowledge.

Take care.

I can relate to you about being shy to photograph when a lot of people are around. It seems that the hotel you've been has a lot to offer. I like their style of presenting the food. The put it in a banana leaf, right? Enjoy and God bless.

The food looks delicious and diverse.

In the past, I had to go through poverty alone and it was very painful.

I know that feeling. Currently I do many different jobs: cleaning as domestic helper, selling food, walking a dog twice a day. My dream is to have my own successful business one day in future.

Bon appetit chef! I think a lot while eating too, especially if I'm eating alone, I can't stop my brain. Sometimes when I eat with my friend it's nice to chat with her.

This cafe is very nice, good presentation not as you but good 😅.

Eating while I think is one of my favorite things to do. In fact, this combination even makes me think even better. I feel like it's something that really benefits me, especially when I need to make a more complicated decision.
