My Office mates

As promised i brought meatloaf to the office, my officemates would like to sample some.  It was an instant success, many of them cannot believe that i have made that palatable dish.  I was very pleased.  Actually, i can really cook those basic simple recipes, even those recipes my father dished out for us when he was still alive.  However, its a different thing when you cook something that is foreign or not the usual dish cook at home.  And for me meatloaf is very american and i have been longing to cook or bake it, whatever method it is done, i am really excited to cook the same.  And that happened last Sunday, wow, i felt great and very proud of my cooking.  Thanks for all who appreciated the meatloaf and forgot about me, you all made me happy!!!

I'd pray every night for guidance, for God to hold my hand and guide me through life.  Slowly, very slowly my days are gets brighter, smiles come easy, i can see colors, bright and loud.  Once again, my heart sings and my eyes aglow and my voice has its vibrato.  Yes, there is a new world before my eyes, awaiting for me.  I was given another chance to live happy and freely. Free from hurt and from the thought that i made mistakes that ends my seven years of relationship to the man i had love all my life.   Just when i have found myself again, i learned of his demise.  I searched for that emotion, but i am empty.  Suddenly, the man is just another stranger that passed this earth.  I know i love him,...
