This is what you do to your coffee in the morning—adding sugar, cream, or whatever magic potion you need to function. It's also what your mom does to the adobo to make it taste *just right*. In life, you also need to "timplahin" your emotions, balancing the stress from work with your K-drama marathon. It's all about the right mix.
From Spanish 'templar' (to temper, to mix).
