Thank God It's Friday (TGIF)


CARPOOLING


Carpooling saves fuel, develop new friends and builds camaraderie.  So everyday I wait for my co-rider in a carpool manage by my office mate.  My co riders are from the different offices near my place of work.  Food has always been a part of our daily conversation, sharing the places where each one of us had eaten and enjoyed the food, likewise the places that serves bad tasting foods.  This way, when one of us celebrate his or her birthday, we plan in advance where we will eat.  This Friday night happens to be the belated celebration of our handsome driver, the owner of the car we used for carpooling.  Here are some pictures of our group and the food we ate last night:  





  Another Chinese cuisine, each serving was just right for two, so we order two of each kind.  There were so many people waiting to be tabled.  The fish and tofu was delicious, likewise the other dishes we ordered. The siomai, grilled tiger prawn and prawn with bacon were some of the street foods sold at front counter, we were curious and would like to taste those picklings.... so tasty and hot.  We end up with the "house tea" to ease our so full belly.

The food should have a slight resistance when biting into it, but should not be soft or overdone or have a hard center. For a great explanation of how al dente pasta should feel and taste, I direct you to read my friend Lola's explanation. Lola is a wonderful home cook from Italy and knows what she is talking about. Her description of al dente is at the end of my post for   ...

Reaching the Final End

Is dying the final end?  At this point i have reached another phase of life...when i decided to end the relation, i thought i would die,there was so much pain, pain that brought so much tears and heartaches which lasted for a long time. 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,...
