After a long two-day trip, my body's resistance went down which left me susceptible to flu. I had a weak workweek due to coughing, sneezing,runnynose and headache but even though, I still go to work. Some friends adviced me to take a rest but I insisted to work since I feel much comfortable working than resting because it makes me weaker when spending more time lying or sleeping at home. Thanks to the meds I took, it helped me lessen the burden plus some water therapy which of great help in releiving me from flu. Now, I realized that maybe I lack excercise and Vitamin C to make my body's resistance stronger. So from now on I will make sure that I can spare some of my time doing healthy regimen because HEALTH IS WEALTH.    

How time flies...It's been over decades when i started to dream the job I am doing now. Going back to the place where once a witness of my struggle is so fulfilling. It makes me feel so proud of what I had achieved in life.

I can still recall how life used to be in college and realized how much things have changed now. Good and bad happened in the past and how things could have been different. I got to remember old friends...people and events.

Sometimes looking back in some negative chapters in my past make me pissed off yet so nostalgic about life in college when I remember someone who've been so close to me and made me feel special. Yes I had lots of memories in college but only one dominated.

Whenever recalling an event from the past, it plays out like a film for me. Some memories are more vivid than others though. My strongest ones were when I had the strongest emotion involved both good and bad. Indeed a videographic memory I had made me even fascinated with the simple things happened in life.

I remember and can't forget a wonderful relationship with a then simple lad who once treated me as his inspiration in reaching his dreams and aspirations. I thought twas one of the best things that happened in my life but to no avail because it ended up miserably therefore I believe that some good things never last.

Nevertheless, how painful memories in some chapters of my life but it was a learning experience hence it formed an integral part that made me a better person. After all, they are memories WORTHY TO REMEMBER.

Got an early rise for a long trip going to my alma mater University of Southern Mindanao in Kabacan , Cotabato Province.Though so tiring yet excitement filled the dull moment as I travel alone without any friends inside the public utility van hoping to see many friends who will be attending the alumni homecoming of USM.

I was so amazed seeing how Kabacan improved two decades ago. The avenue that I used to walk once is filled with buildings and establishments. Can't resist from reminiscing those good and not so good old days in college but what dominated was the inspiring moment in my life. Even how hard life before but it was taken lightly due to the help of a person who had been so close and special before and I thank him for such gestures. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

I met only few old friends/schoolmates during the alumni gathering and I had fun chatting with Rocky Cabamungan a Nutritionist who is now based in London and the famous Dodong Guerero an animal Science who is now the Meat Inspector of Kabacan, Cotabato. Honestly,I feel elated because of my uncle-in-law Prof. Romy Catabagan who is so proud to introduce me to many of his friends in USM and it helped me feel comfy to be with the celebration though lack of close friends.

What counts best was when I went to my hometown from Kabacan reminded me of the route I used to travel before. The route that witnessed my struggles in life.  

In general, I counted the event as one of my unforgettable moments . It’s so nice to be back in the place where I used to dream the job I am doing now.

it's been a year since my last post here.Workload in the office and at home did not permit me sometimes updating my blog haven. Honestly, I am guilty of spending too much time in Facebook so blogging was a less priority. Now I realized that it is time to activate my dormant blog.Yes, I love doing this because I got a place to express my innermost emotions of many things happening in my life.I might not do posting every day but I will try to make it as often as I could because I miss blogging....

Almost everyone in this world is now hooked to internet because of social media networking. Many reasons why people choose to spend their golden hours in the internet and tucked away from the supposedly regular chores in their homes or even in the office.

On the other hand, I personally disagree labeling social networking as a fad. It is not like a whim nor a fashion that maybe called a passing fad. Yes primarily, social networking is our way of making and building friendship  to many people around the globe. Connecting friends old and new or making it as an online dating site.

For some people like me, I see social networking as a primary business tool. It provides connections and prospects that can be of help in promoting your business. It is imperative for people engaging into business to stay up to date of the latest trends of online marketing and internet use in general.

Admittedly, working performance of some employees or even study habits of students are greatly affected because of the internet evolution. I myself can attest to this since  I feel guilty to some point where instead spending my time to doing household chores yet hooked to internet.Sad to say that irresponsible use of internet will only eat out  quality times that is supposedly spent to more important things that has to be done.

Yes, internet evolution has made life easy but at times you might be a victim of few corns that came along with this revolutionary facility. So, be cautious and responsible enough in using internet and see to it that the site you are hooked is right for you.

 

    

Cooking is not really my passion. Honestly, I feel envious to people who have the ability to cook flair and conjure up delicious foods and can even create their own recipes. I thought cooking is in the genes wherein skill is inherited from its roots but I'm wrong. I never realized that cooking is a process or a craft and can be learned.

Undeniably, cooking good food brings people together like in the family or even in many occasions. I understand that not everyone has the passion and are absolutely loathed the task in the kitchen because they abhor the messy place as well as the heat from the oven's flame.

As an anchorwoman of a magazine type radio show, I manage to deliver cooking tips and recipes in the airwaves so listeners could learn something about cooking. From there, I realized that maybe, like my listeners, I can be a good cook too with the recipes I'm sharing in the show.

Until one listener who thought that I am a good cook, took an order of several foods good for twenty people. At first I was so hesitant thinking that they might not enjoy or dislike the taste of the food I will be cooking but due to my friend's persistence, it gave me the courage to pursue my interest in cooking.

I managed to cook spaghetti in my own style and some Filipino delicacies which I've learned from my mom. Mixed emotions is what I've felt when I delivered the food to my friend. Am so excited to hear their feedback until I received a text message  from my friend with all appreciations from her visitors. To prove that they like my food, my friend repeatedly ordered every time they have church gathering.

With this experience, I realized that cooking is not only meant for people who trained cooking  genetically but to anybody like me who tried and pursued interest even if it's not an inherited trait.
