SKILLS

On Writing

This only seems to work when I have a lot in mind and I have no one to talk to. Or make that, one of those days when I don't want to speak. And so I rant and write nonsense random stuffs, whichever comes into my mind first. Like this one.

On Cooking

There were very rare instances when I cooked for someone out of passion: that was only twice as I can remember. One was for ex boyfie where the attempt of baking failed. I ended up buying something instead and the other one was when someone came over at the house and wanted us to cook together. Talk about LOVE.

I never cooked for myself or for my parents out of necessity. There's always food somewhere else which I can buy. But cooking FOR someone is different. There's that happy feeling during the process of mixing the ingredients. I don't know when I can cook again on the criteria of passion. I buy food for survival and eat junk food if worse comes to worst. 

I believe that the skill of cooking comes with the ability to identify flavors. Yeah. I always loved coffee. I like the way how it makes my heart palpitate, FAST. Along with my love for coffee, I want to mix a good one for myself. But my attempts have failed. I have asked a few friends how they mix their own and did try it at one point in time. I've got used to the coffee taste but my palate is looking for a certain flavour. I'd actually go for the 3-in-1 Brown Coffee mix of Kopiko than the ones I had mixed so far. So sad.

The best coffee I tasted was when we visited the Archbishop's Palace. The Archbishop himself mixed the coffee for us. It was like magic. And uh, after that, I can't find any better cup of coffee.

Therefore I conclude, I can't mix a perfect coffee for my own sake, how can I even make a decent home cooked meal. Horrah!

Oh yeah, Dad's a very good cook. He's my favorite! He always cooks when he's at home. Blame him my eating skills! Weeeee~ :D

Other Skills?

When you talk about singing, dancing and art skills, nah. You can leave me out of it! I'd probably just make a huge disaster initiating those :))

On Tech

Let's say this job I have right now. It's better than anything else. I can imagine myself dealing with PC's than counting numbers. Hmmmm.. Speaking of which, I still have a lot of modules to study for my Tier 2 Certification. I don't think I'm going to pass though. But for the sake of learning, studying would be a good option. It's funny how my batchmates participate in the discussion and lab works. While I, stare at the monitor / trainer and the obvious comes out that my brain is not processing anything. On an exaggerated note, that gives one an idea. :))

Thank You Note

The only consolation I had when things weren't really going my way was the spark of faith which I had in my heart and the grace of the Lord which He made known through His angels, also known as FRIENDS. :')

Determination

Inevitably, time comes when our weaknesses hinder us in our journey, Like really really discourage us and lure us to take the easier way around! But then, with the grace of the Lord, just never lose sight of your ultimate goal and you shall be GREATLY rewarded. More than what our human minds can ever imagine!!

Drawing Happiness from Someone Else's Eyes

The happiness, joy and gratitude you see in someone's eyes, reflected through his soul, when you've done them good takes away all the stress and trouble you've been through - very rewarding! More than satisfying as we can say. That moment when you see heaven in someone's eyes and you know you are the reason behind it, oh the joy! They may be your lover, friend, family or even just someone random. It's an emotion you can only muster when you've been self-sacrificing and way beyond generous. Not at all times you will be rewarded though. But then even at just one certain instance that your efforts had been recognized, out of the hundreds that you've made, it's already more than enough.

I can say that that's LOVE and COMPASSION at it's best! What else could that awesomeness be? Other than that, the Lord is always behind all these sweet gratifying realizations.

Thank God and praise Him all the time! :) ♥

Of Childhood and Destiny

We grew up together.
We used to play under the rain, run like there's no tomorrow and kiss the sun together..
We were so happy and were so much more carefree back then.
We were each other's first bestest friend!
However, we had to grow up and face the world on our own.
