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? :-)

Time Flies Quickly for Me 2X

I got my share of dumb moments again these past few days and my oh my it was like a huge whack on the butt. I remember those clueless days that I had way back in college. I was young and gullible that I easily believe on bullshit (excuse me for the word). And I just realized that I was possessed by that bad old spirit again, not literally but hey you know what right now, let me tell you that I wanna hit my head with a gigantic rock to help me think straight.
Please remind me to finish reading 'Eat, Pray, Love'. I have started on a few pages and I was amazed how I can relate with the story. My life was a total mess last year and I think I need to escape to Rome or India or Indonesia to get my sanity back intact. I am surprised to know that I'm not the only person who got crazy then retreated and once in a while also tempted to move forward or go back to square one. Crazy isn't it? It doesn't make sense at all...
Also, please remind me to re-read the book 'He's not that into you' so I will realize that he's really not that into me. That's plain and simple - no complicated analysis involved - I just have to tell myself over and over again that it's no use to keep on relying on false hopes! I might as well accept the fact that I will never meet the guy who will sweep me off my feet because I've been meeting jerks lately (UGH) and it's making me feel so frustrated.
Oh well, as they all say, when a woman is single, her only problem is herself and her love life! A lot of women might deny this but let's face it, this is true and it happens all the time. So let's get real...
*SIGH* Still I can't believe that it's been a dumb-ass week again for me for believing in bullshit...

I had a weird dream...

I admit, I missed writing on my blog... and today, after having this weird dream, I got the urge of writing again to unload all the thoughts that I'm currently having about it. It's not really very unusual but since it triggered something - a childhood experience, I want to simply just let it out my chest and write it down on my blog which is something that I consider as my journal that keeps me sane these days.

So about my dream, let me start by telling you a story...

I am the type of person that keeps grudges when I was young (Don't worry I'm trying to change that now) and when I was in elementary, I was pretty active in many things especially in school, I make sure that I am part of all the activities. I recall I did things because I want to be productive all the time and I was determined to learn new things. However, the only downside is that I had become too hard on myself. At a very young age I can feel that I am living on the edge - but in the end, I realize that it was no use. Most of the time I also felt that I was unappreciated so that's the time I got depressed. There are also times that I don't feel like a kid because there was a time that I stopped playing... I can't remember exactly but it just happened. I was already 9 or 10 when I started to write a book. It was about fairy tales and mysteries. I've always wanted to become a writer and I was so determined to make that happen (but now I think I still have to work on my grammar). People think that I am a geek and not fun to be with! I think that's also true - because I am melancholic by nature, I've always thought that nobody can ever tolerate my gloomy behavior. I do not speak that much, I just prefer to sit on one corner and observe the things around me and if I get bored, I'd get a good book to read. I think my playmates got really bored with that so I was often left alone...

Okay, so how about the dream that I had a while ago and how could I connect it with my childhood?

My Thoughts on Ms. Universe Pageant

For me, having a title of Ms. Universe is a big responsibility. Q&A portion reflects the personality of the candidate because they get to share what's on their mind -their 'real' thoughts about a certain issue. Q&A unveils their soul. In order for them to carry out their responsibility very well, their image and character should always be considered and this is often manifested in the candidate's answer. 


Even if they do not answer in very good English, for as long as the judges will see that the answer has a complete thought and is coming from the candidate's heart and she is able to connect to the audience, then that is acceptable. Venus did great! I just hope she answered in a manner that is complete, that could have proven that it might not be the best answer in the world but it would have been enough to make the judges believe that she truly has potential. But nonetheless, I am proud of her and I admire her! She also makes me proud to be Filipina :)

Every candidate wishes to be Miss Universe but I hope they are not there just to impress people with their wit and beauty but they should also have the desire to become a role model and the yearning to have an opportunity to help and inspire people around them.

When will I sleep early?

This is probably the most exhausting day of my life. I'm pretty much loaded with jobs that I don't even know what to do first. I have to do all of 'em coz I have to but it would also be nice if I can have a V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N - yep, that's the word... OR it would be good if I get to spend a whole day lying in bed, reading a good book (there are lots of good books in my shelf that I can't even finish reading)... OR I would like to go to a spa to get a massage or a facial... haaay... when can I do all of that? Pretty soon - I hope...

I'm so happy!!!

Yeah!!! today is my happy day! I just want the world to know that my blog is back - www.happychachi.blogspot.com (remember I mentioned that google kidnapped my blog?) OK, I have to shut up - they might deactivate this again.. oops...

I won't be updating it yet with blog posts but I think I will change the skin for now. I'm super busy, I don't even have time to go to the bathroom... (eeew)

But of course, that's not the only reason why I'm happy. It's just one of the reasons but it's on the top of my list! Ok, so this is it for now. I'll update my blogs when I have the time but I really really have to get back to work.

bye bye
