Food Trip

When you feel hungry, what do you always do??? A question that you would think of many kinds of food, what type or kind of food it is.

But for me, when I feel hungry I look for the food storage area if their is any food available to eat, or some ingredients to cook for any variety of food that could be made of the available ingredients.

 When I got hungry, I look for some stuff's that could satisfy my cravings for food. The only thing that could gratify me is to got those food and create some delicious food.

Here are some of my food experiments

Spaghetti (Filipino style-Home made)

Slices of Tasty bread with corned beef and Quick melt cheese

 
































I love to cook food, especially some pastry and some desserts in which my family, relatives and friends love too. But most of the time I cook food during occasions, especially on birthday and gatherings.


Most of the time I prefer to cook food for my friends in which we share during friend meetings, hang-outs or I want them to taste the food that I cooked. I ask them what was there verdict on the taste, texture of the food. I get good compliments from them and they ask for more, but I tell them that next time again I serve another type of dish again.


Food could satisfy my cravings during hunger and they are also my comfort during in times of problem aside to my friends and family.

New Life , New Beginning

Have you been on a retreat? Has anyone invited you to undergo into this kind of process or join the event?
Well if not, you must go with it, because it is a life changing event that you would not regret in your entire life. You will gonna know more about yourself, know who really God is into your life and could change your lifestyle than before.

Maybe, you may ask why I am asking that question to you and why I am urging you to undergo with it. Well as to my experience, it changed my life very much, I discovered a lot of things about myself, towards others, and especially having an ultimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ who saved us from all of our afflictions.


Here the story goes.


It was Last month of summer, wherein the church that I used to go into was having a retreat (Encounter). At first I am confused if would go or not. But my co-church mates are encouraging me to join for almost a year also. Every time the church plans to have that event they always say that I think about it, due also to my busy schedule in school and later on my review. But the time has come to allow me to join the retreat (Encounter).


The retreat was scheduled for three days, no visitors allowed and no communication to the outside world. If you are not used too it for these things you must sacrifice for a little while. I heard a lot about the retreat from my friends that undergone the process, they say that it was so great, a lot of revelation was revealed to them and a new discovery of themselves was been established. I feel the excitement when I heard their testimonies about the encounter.


As the 1st day of the retreat starts, we encountered ourselves. Who we are in this world living into God's wonderful creation and how we live on it for in your years of existence until the retreat. On the 2nd day, we encounter GOD who he really is into us, How he managed to let us know that he truly loves us. And on the last day (3rd day) we encounter others, how we deal with other people.

After the retreat days, I experienced a life changing moment especially on how I deal with the people around me and the most important is I rad the worlds greatest book which is the THE HOLY BIBLE. Before. I just open the BIBLE when during school class, but now it is everyday reading the word of GOD for guidance and words of wisdom that would guide me in the rest of the day.

I am hoping that you also could experience what I have experience in joining the retreat (encounter).

A Simple Friend's Birthday Bash

It was my friends birthday celebration, he invited me and our other close friends at their house for a simple dinner to celebrate his 22nd birthday. His celebration was simple but yet worth to be celebrated, because it was just like his 21st birthday celebration.

As part of the celebrants visitor, i have enjoyed his celebration even if it is was just simple and fun. The food he served was made special by his family especially the cake. it was been home made by his mother. it was so very delicious, sumptuous and mouth watering for the awesome taste of the moist chocolate cake.


My friends visitor are from his former work in a "well-known" food chain and from the church in which the celebrant and I belong, few of his expected guest came but he enjoyed a lot our presence he can not even accommodate all of us but he tried his best to entertain us.


My friend didn't expect that I would give him a gift, for that special occasion. I just gave him his favorite chocolate snack that commonly seen on a child eating that kind of snack, with it was also a jersey shirt. It was also a coincidence that the shirt was part of his dream shirts to have, so that he could wear and use it on the fitness gym or as ordinary household shirt. he was so very thankful because it was been an answered prayer for him to have those things.

For us people or some, we think that birthday celebrations are worth to be celebrated for children only but it's not. Birthday's comes only once in a year, and every year has a different expectations, different challenges and life changing experiences. So we must celebrate our birthday even for just a simple thanks giving for another year of existence in God's wonderful creation.


A Birthday is worth to be celebrated for. Hope you could celebrate yours too even for just a simple way of celebration. Simple yet worth to be remembered.

A Little Bit Of Me

When people try to ask me about my self, i always say to them that I'm not that kind of person that they expected me to be.

But in reality, I'm a shy type of person, having a Phlegmatic temperament or personality. I don't expose much well my whole identity to other people. I want them to discover who really I am to towards them. I show to them how mysterious I am, I do not talk much to people, I'm just a type of person who goes with the flow as it is.

Other people's first impression on me was I'm not that friendly person with strong personality, difficult to be with, but later on as they know me deeper, they see my inner beauty and true identity as days goes by.

Most of my buddies are boys, I don't know why I love to be with them. Especially in bonding times I'm with them, I mingle with them talking of some funny jokes, crushes and other things that makes us laugh together. Being with my best buds makes me comfortable no pretensions needed and I could express some of my problems and miseries that I'm into.

I do love cooking food for other people, not just to impress them with my cooking skills, but I'm happy seeing other people eating the food that I have prepared for them to spare and fill their hungry stomachs. When ingredients are available to make some sumptuous meal for them, not just for my family but also to my friends who are close to my heart.
