Our souls can only replace so much of what use to be there. The generations and gaps that are now filled with luminous lights- they are just unaccountable. We have scavenged our lives to color this immense freedom that we all have longed for. Our desires have driven us to think in such vast, repetitive rounds that we forget how to take a step back and remember what it means to slow down. The tiny cells that have engulfed inside our imagination and creativity continue to run. There is nothing that can stop it now except for that pull. I no longer drive myself to the other side. I drive myself to where my hands happen to take the wheel. The mischief behind every doors. The secret is to be quiet. To be quiet of where we're going. To be quiet of what lies ahead of us. There is no designated path. It's just what happens to have fallen in front of us. It's the way we perceive it and who we see it that will affect our emotions towards it. It's not others. It's ourselves.

Ourselves.

Bacco Cafe.
Since I currently live in Seattle for school, every time my girlfriends and I decide to spend a day Downtown, we always make a stop for brunch at Bacco Cafe. My first time at Bacco Cafe was with my mom when she came to visit me. We had just finished browsing Pike Place Market and we decided to walk around to find a good place to eat. After about a good ten minutes, without yelping (surprisingly-considering my mom and I are always on yelp), we just decided to walk into the restaurant closest to us.
Now, if you ever visit Seattle or you are around the area, I highly recommend this place. Bacco Cafe colors the pacific northwest cuisine. It is simple, yet it holds a sense of satisfaction and elegance within its food and atmosphere. It is definitely the perfect meal to start any day, as their menu offers delectable delights: (indeed) multiple kinds of eggs benedict, french toast, pancakes, freshly made juice, etc.
For me there are two items that always punctuate my satisfaction. The smoke salmon eggs benedict (if you know me at all, you would know that this is one of my weakness), with its freshly cut smoke salmon, its perfectly poached egg that always oozes out, and its creamy hollandaise sauce that accentuates the flavors; the silky texture just flutters on top of your tongue. I like to smear my english muffin with the yolk as it swims out. I would too swim in it if the plate were big enough. As well, this dish includes the choice of fresh cut fruits, salads, or house-made potatoes, which I have all tried and are all satisfying. However, if you are like me and have a weakness for potatoes, I would go with the house-made potatoes. The verona juice- which includes pineapple, orange, and banana is also my favorite. Often times in the winter, (okay... all the time), I would order the hot chocolate as well- a classic.

Rattlesnake Ledge - Washington.
Soaring hills, endless trails, sticky sweat, and rocks that somehow have seem to plummet itself into my boots. Sounds ruthless, right? But let me tell you, what an adventure.
It's the end to our first week of school and we decided to kick start our weekend with a delicious adventure. Setting about four different alarms, I finally got myself to wake up at 7:36 am, in time to get picked up by my girls to go for a hike around 8 am. Bobbing our heads back and forth while listening to some old, but good songs, we final arrived to Cedar Falls. Unexpectedly, after we started walking for about 15 minutes, we couldn't even find a legit hiking trail (or as we like to call a challenge); we then decided to head over to Rattlesnake Ledge.
Without any expectations (being that I have never been to this particular hike), my legs definitely got a good workout. After 3.5 miles and a few encounters with adorable dogs, we finally reached the top, and wow was the view breathtaking. Feeling like the lion queen on her pride rock, we had an amazing view of a blue, fresh lake surrounded by endless greens. Luckily, we defeated the fog-which literally reappeared after we left- and took a plethora of photos.

The 27th of September colors a new muse. Sitting in the kitchen, after making some toast topped with avocado and a few shakes of lemon pepper (my favorite seasoning), I squandered through photos of the past. After a good lip licking, it has finally got me thinking, why not conjure memories for myself and perhaps the world to see today (mainly to get my rhythm going)?Yes, I have probably accumulated (with no commitment) over three different blogs in the past 5 years or so, but I promised myself and Knotuself that a little perspiration and dedication is something I need to learn.
So today, I unfold Knotuself to the world.
Knotuself will shyly but proudly share the lust that life carries on this new canvas with inspiring (hopefully they are somewhat) photos , writings, ideas, delicious food, and curiosity- with class and a sense of humor.
Cheers to a new beginnings.
xoxo
