Shake, Rattle but Don't Roll

Today, October 15, 2013, Philippines experienced another strong 7.4 intensity earthquake. Many structures were damaged and some lives were spent. I would like to pray for the souls of those who died. I would also like to thank the Lord that he kept us safe through the 30 seconds earth shaking and other aftershocks that came after. God bless us all!

Burn Kitchen, Burn!

I love to cook even if cooking doesnt love me back with what i dish sometimes in the kitchen. It's a hit and miss affair. It could be very delicious (with the emphasis on the word "very") or the taste would be off to what my folks expected. But as what they say, in failure there is success. I dont care if i would be scraping my pans with burnt food always, still i cook to make the best dish i could muster. I kept reading cookbooks and watched cooking channels. I try to remember tips about cooking certain ingredients and the pairing of spices and herbs. Lately, i get compliments with my picky family members about the food i serve. Maybe i do improve with my cooking skills. I must cook more. Today, i made two dishes for my nephew's birthday. One is the filipino ubiquitous party food "Chicken Macaroni Salad" and the other one is Pampanga's famous "Bringhe". I had my partner tasted the dishes and what he said lifts me to 7th heaven! He said, "Ang sarap!". And he dont compliment my cooking that way before! Ahhh, i can dream sweet dreams tonight!

Time to Grow Young

Watching all these kids play while im waiting for my partner, i smiled to myself. I remember those times that i also run wild, jump like crazy and shout like im on the top of the world. I dont have to fuzz about what to cook for dinner. I dont have to worry if my sales would reach my quota this month. I dont have to think of what incentives should i give to my staff to make them work harder. All i did was enjoy and laugh. I never thought of getting hurt or what i do after the playing. I just think of the game and have fun. As i grow older, i was taught that life is not all play. I have to divide the time for studying. I was taught that i have to excel in my studies so playing is minimized to give more time to study. Then came the household chores, and the playing time was lessened more. So, i have to study first, help with the chores and then you can play. This goes on until i went to college when, the household chores was replaced by doing actual work to support my studies. With work and studies on my plate, i felt so tired that i dont want to play anymore. Instead, sleeping is better than playing. I need to rest so that i could get up for work and study my lessons more. I thought that graduation would be the time that i get to play again, but no! I have to commit to my work full time if i want to earn more. Work overtime and you get to earn extra. Then came the time that i felt like i was in a rut and i felt that i was worthless. I felt that i am insignificant. I changed jobs but still i felt sorry for myself. Lately, after months of soul searching, i felt alive again. I learned that you dont have to kill yourself inorder to live. You just have to know what you want in your life. Me? I just want to have fun! I may not have a regular job but still i earn more money than what i earned before. I am with my loved one always. I dont have to worry about the future. I just want to enjoy the moment.

Waking up every morning with you by my side makes the rest of the day great.

Pleasing everybody is never a responsibility. If they like you for who you are, good. If not, it’s their problem not yours. on We Heart It. http://weheartit.com/entry/80983879/via/shareinspirequotes

A picture says a thousand words! But all i can say with this one is "ME".

Time to Drop Some Pants

Thirty years have passed and i am still the same good guy that i was raised to be. I have never punched somebody. I am not a bully. I say yes to all requests. I smile and greet people ‘good day’ even though i myself is not having one. I don’t complain.

Well, that is the boring me. This time, i was thinking of ruffling some feathers; shake things a bit. If i could be ‘bad’ for a while, maybe i could bring some fun into my life again. I dont have to please anybody. I could be selfish sometimes. Maybe i could challenge authorities just to prove i have my own opinions.

I may not be a psychologist to rationalize my actions but i felt good thinking about this, so im going to try it. I am not sure if this would make my life worthwhile but who knows! This might be good for my being.
