Saying Goodbye to my Jamie Oliver

Saying goodbye is never easy... but I really have to! I know it's hard since I have gotten used to your 'kakulitan' and all that. But where exactly do you think we're going if we continue this insanity, huh? Oh well... I think I don't mean 'goodbye' in the sense that we are not going to rub elbows in the future, I think we just have to let it go (at the moment) because it's the best thing to do right now...

I'm sad and this is not the first time I felt this kind of sadness that is asphyxiating. I just want to let you know that I feel for you too, deep in my gut, I really do care for you even if you think I don't. I'm gonna miss your voice over the phone... Hmmm... It's gonna echo in my head for some time.

Well, if you think I'm crazy - maybe I really am? I've been thinking about you and how you are in the kitchen. I imagine you getting your apron and cooking away. In my mind I can smell the freshly cooked dinner that you have prepared for the two of us... but will it just happen in my head? Maybe I have to let it go now and do my thing. Maybe someday, we can really be together when everything is okay.

Rekindling my passion for food

Or should I say... cooking?

Well, to tell you frankly, I was not a fan of cooking (when I was younger). When it comes to cooking, I was definitely clueless! But that was years ago - probably a even a decade ago! Then the time came that I discovered that I can cook, I became addicted to it... I even want to shift to a different career and be a chef and have my own restaurant. I've always thought that I can do that forever. It's something that will make me feel really happy and contented.

Food is my first love - isn't it too obvious? I've been on a YO-YO diet for years now and I hate it! But what can I do when there is food? Wouldn't you take a bite if the food looks great? It would be too hard to resist! But I always think that there is still a way for me to continue with my conquest for good food without making me overweight. After all, there are still options available and all I have to do is choose what I think is best.

But I can say that food and I have had a love hate relationship for years and it's funny though, I find it really amusing. First off, my unexpected talent in cooking was almost like a miracle to me... I honestly didn't know that I can cook. I was afraid of the kitchen. I didn't even know how to fry or cook rice but it's amazing how things changed. It was like being Cinderella riding on a pumpkin!

I tried to recall the time when people are actually asking me to cook - it was an amazing experience. It gave me a good feeling inside. I can't believe it... like I wanna ask myself 'are they serious?' so I went on with my cooking spree and enjoyed the nice feeling that I am getting when they are giving me a thumbs up about the food that I serve.

I think I'm just being nostalgic again... As if I can almost smell the food that I cooked and I can still hear the praises from people who were happy with the food that they ate.. *PURE BLISS* Maybe someday I would have to reconsider a career shift. What do you think? :-)
