my kitchen rehearsals

these past few months had domesticated me. it unraveled my cooking genes to life. one thing leading to another, as my life goes... one recipe to another as i rehearse my kitchen skills.  mind you, with my kitchen rehearsals, i get a "feel" of my ultimate dream in life...

chicken liver 

ensalada

yes, i play favorites...

this is my all-time-fave!!!

special pancit

humba

tuna-macaroni salad

empanada

looking forward to many more kitchen rehearsals of this kind... i've enjoyed cooking for agnes way back in sg, and now ninin here in dubai... i think nothing could be as rewarding as preparing a meal for my family --- in the future, by such time, i must have mastered my kitchen skills and domesticated myself even more.

a matter of time

it's only a matter of time...

to get through

matters left undone...

to heal the wounds

you never thought existed...

to uncover the strength

only situations such as this can bring about...

it's only a matter of time...

to feel the sunshine once again,

to dance like no one's watching,

to turn dreams into reality.

it's only a matter of time...

Time to be Grateful

it's time to be grateful.
2011 is a turn-around year for me. 
i've been disappointed. i failed. i was hurt. 
but i survived.  and for that, i am most grateful. i am smiling as i write. looking back, i cant believe i survived all the trials. i was never alone in my life journey and thank you's are not really enough.


i was disappointed because i aspired.
i failed because i tried.
i was hurt because i loved.
i survived it all and i learned.


i am taking control of my life.
i am living my dreams.
i read from an article of melanie lim and i quote:
children live their dreams. adults live their lives.
i am a child no more, but i am living my dreams.


i couldn't thank the Lord enough - for an emotion-filled 2011 for me.
thank you Lord for the friends who stood by me, respected me, and for the love that goes with their mere presence in my life.
thank you Lord for my family, for the comfort and the strength. each of us have our own delightful and interesting 2011 stories, and i will treasure them no matter who they are because my family is important to me.
thank you Lord for blessing us with baby Theia Christina, she's just the loveliest gift to us.
thank you Lord for the five wonderful years with transco/ngcp. i am forever grateful to the friends i made, for the people who deeply touched my life, and for all the memories i had. 
thank you Lord for my clinical psyc family, for the people who nurtured me and mentored me. i will see you guys again.


i am starting 2012 on a blank slate.
i am grateful for the year that has been and for the year to come.


may the Lord bless us all with dreams coming true!!
