Baking

I love cooking. Admittedly though, not the gourmet stuff. I mean i do cook the basics, experiment on them, and gobble them all. I guess my taste buds are simply ordinary. I make whatever there is that i can make with the available ingredients. I don't buy whatdyacallthem herbs, spices and what not. I invent. Hehehe

Unfortunately,when it comes to baking i'm kinda the dumb-dumb. That's why the moment i learned that ate Jo bakes cakes and pastries, I just wasn't able to stop myself from asking her to teach me. And so she did.

She invited me to her house to bake (or did she? hmmm). I shopped for the ingredients (Eaji and cakes?)--entering for the first time a confectionery shop (sniffing the oh-so-good smell of bars and bars of chocolate, gazing on the tons of sprinkles on the shelves, and drooling on the bags of choco chips waiting to be fetched by bakers) ,learning what butter compound is, and checking price differences between butters, sugars and milk.

Then we baked.

We sifted (thousands of times. HAHA!), we mixed, tasted, stirred, tasted, blended, tasted, folded, tasted, shaped, tasted, baked, then finally tasted again. hihihi. No wonder when the heavenly moist, scrumptuous cake came out of the oven, we really didn't want to taste it anymore. Hehehehe.

<<--- Still, i can't believe that i really baked this cake. Ang galing ni ate Jo magturo.

Then the cookies came. Grabe, sugar overload. Then, the frosting happened. And then the next thing you know we were already putting the frosting on the cake which was really hard to even out.

Natapos namin yung cake at around 6 pm just in time para dalin sa koro house for the judging or as ate Jo puts it, para sa mga guinea pigs hehehehe.

Kuyas Richard, Francis, and Darwin were ones who were lucky to taste our baking. Sori na lang sa mga di nakapunta.

Baking is really fun.

@@@

napaisip lang, ako. I met someone today and told her i wanted to be a teacher. Well, she suddenly talked about establishing my own school, looking for this 'company' of teachers who gets paid well and what not. Sa isip ko nung sinasabi niya yun, na-iimagine ko yung school na gusto ko itayo sa isang barrio. Wala lang, para bang ang hirap iexplain (i guess i stopped trying) sa mga tao that i really want to teach sa rural areas. Weird, i know there's this notion that teachers dont get rich. That's why as early as now i'm really saving up. I'm a dreaming nuts here?

KORO

Had dinner sa Koro House after our presentation for the Italians in our parish. Ayos naman. Nagandahan naman ata sila. also watched Disturbia. so mga 1:40 am na kami nakauwi. Ayun. Ang tagal ng trike kasi 2 am na heheheh.

can't wait to bake tom...

SWISH and SWALLOW

Suffering from multiple mouthsores for two weeks, the 6-day vacation came as a big break. I was then able to get myself checked by a doctor, and get proper medication for the mouth sores.
(just to clear things, the source of the mouth sores weren't unsanitation, it was stress. hehehehe)

ASTIG! the doctor has this concoction of her own to treat the sores and it really was effective. yun nga lang, it really was bitter.

All you have to do is POUND a MYCOSTATIN tablet, open an antibacterial capsule, add 5 ml of CORTICOSTEROID syrup, then finally add tablespoon of water in a glass.


MIX THEM ALL!
SWISH (meaning gargle) and then SWALLOW!

The bitter taste will hunt you for minutes, humahagod sa throat yun nga lang walang kick di tulad ng beer. hehehehe. At least it's byebye to pain and discomfort.

DISCLAIMER: dude, syempre i-consult mo muna kay doc bago to subukan

sabi ng malapit kong kaibigan, "breath JM, breath."

Napaisip ako.

Paano ba huminga?

Kapag madami na akong iniisip, pakiramdam ko lahat ng energy ng katawan ko ay napupunta sa utak ko, kaya kahit yung mga involuntary na gawain ng katawan (tulad ng paghinga) ay tumitigil.

hehehhehehe.

Malamang pakiramdam ko lang yun.

...

Pakiramdam ko masyado akong iba sa mga tao.

Kaya minsan, nalulungkot na lang ako dahil hindi ako laging nakaka-relate sa kanila.

Buti na lang, sinabi nung kaibigan ko na misan raw, masyadong pinapansin ng tao ang pagiging iba niya sa mga tao kaysa na tingnan niya yung mga pagkakapareho nila.

Kaya ayun.

Tama na ang self-pity. hehehehhe

OO, medyo iba nga, laging taliwas sa norms.

pero siguradong may mga magiging kaibigan ka kahit iba ka.

Wala lang.

TURUAN nIYO NAMAN AKO mag-basketbol

LEARNING of the day:

BAWAL PALA KUMANTA NG MARIAN SONG SA COMMUNION kahit na SOLEMNITY of the Assumption of the blessed virgin mary. Sori po, ngayun ko lang nalaman.

Nomadic MOUTH SORE

can't eat properly with this freakin stress-related mouth sores ( i mean tongue sores).

I guess it became worse 'cause i spent the night with Jo at Jolibee philcoa to study for exams last monday night. I actually was a bit nomadic that night, i even had a bath the next morning in my orgmate's boarding house. Pulubi talaga eheheh.

It was worth it anyways, i was able to finish the test in EDSP 101 with an 80% gut feeling that i did well sa exam. heheheh. 1st tym ko na-prove that coffee really works (plus a bit of mushy talk which really waked me up- c jo kasi), tea guy nga kasi ako.

...
ayun commentator ako kanina sa CHURCH grabe parang ang sinabi ko: "chanks e tu GOD". Ang sakit kasi talaga ng singaw ko. Sori Lord dapat pala di na ako pumunta. Pero thanks Lord na-enjoy ko na naman yung mic sa pagkanta hehehehe.

...
too bad di ako makakapunta sa practice ng Koro mamaya dahil di rin naman ako makakakanta
too bad rin na di ko nasamahan si Lorenz (cellmate ko) sa infirmary

ayun

hay...

hfa;aivajkdvbaori

ang gulo-gulo na minsan ng mga iniisip ko
minsan medyo info overload
minsan nakakabagabag
minsan masakit
hehehehe weird
wala lang naman

got a 1.75 in our first exam in EDTEG 101, not bad though i did miss some questions that were discussed during the first 2 days of the class. Where was I then? ayun nakaupo sa corridor at nagiintay na tanggapin ako sa klase. PREROG nga naman. kaya di ko nasagot.

ENV SCI 1 at EDSP 101 exams on monday and tuesday resoectively, good thing there are no classes on friday for whatever reason PGMA has on her mind. Weird.

HAy. Nakakapagod. Kanina meron na naman akong nakilala na may "some sort of sin" pero mukang successful naman siya sa life. Ang nakakagulo, feeling ko mas masaya pa siya sakin kahit na alam ko na tama yung ginagawa ko. Kahit na pinaalalahanan ako ni TEp (orgmate) na dapat di ma-initmidate sa gumagawa ng "bad" things, parang ang hirap pa rin hindi ma-initimidate. Sana kasi may kakilala akong parehong nararanasan yung problema ko ngyonn. Bad trip.

Kelan kayo mag-ma-mature ang aking Faith?
