Constant Fried!

Every time I'd open our refrigerator, I’d see carrots, potatoes, raisins, cabbage, eggs, broccoli, ham, sausage, ginger, milk, chicken, poultry, beef (I love going to Walmart and buy you know...) and guess what our breakfast would be? Yes, fried eggs. Same refrigerator, same contents, and our lunch would be? Your right! fried sausage. Dinner? Well, it would be fried chicken! :)

It’s a constant struggle for me to cook, especially during weekends, because I am forced to!!! 

Oh my, talk about Our HOUSE ARREST this Winter Break!!! – I really thank God for friends who invited us to dinners, birthday parties, Christmas parties, get-together parties this Christmas time… I got to breathe in and breathe out, without having to look at our refrigerator and cook the same thing!!! Thank God for friends who shared their food to bring home... good enough to last until another party time! Lol!

OK we are not in the Philippines, had we been in the Philippines this will definitely NOT be a CHALLENGE! Why? Because, Ate Nhon and Mommy will rescue us! Hahaha

I don’t know how to cook, friends would teach me how, say, ADOBO, Oh, I have different versions! Never the same taste! Lol! Let me not tell you about my first fried egg! Well, until now, I still haven’t perfected my fried eggs!!! Terrible!

I thought I was normal, really! Until I shared this cooking passion of mine to a friend and told her exactly what I am writing now, ME and MY REFRIGERATOR! I told her what I have and she said, good, you could have Menudo or Afritada or Beef Brocolli for lunch or dinner...  HA??? 

How is it possible that we can look at the same things and think differently???

How is it possible that we can look or have the same things and produce different results???

I’m in trouble! Well, I always am, especially because I have a husband to feed!!! Lol!

Funny, how it relates to God’s gift of life and blessings, how we may have the same things, be it big or small, and yet think differently and produce different results...

For now, the first step, I guess, would be to quit saying “I don’t know how to cook”, because the more I say it, the more it actualizes!

Let me look at our refrigerator again... Mmmm... mmmm... It's time to sleep. :)

God bless Gemma! err God bless Gemma's friends! Lol!

~Happy 2012~

    Gemma,

    Good Morning!

    Try not to indulge and spoil loved-ones with oily meals. Why not try to give them in the morning as for their breakfast either porridge with slices of fruits or flakes with slices of fruits too.

    Their health will benefit most and it's not too tasking to cook one of those as well.

    Yours,

    Vicky David

    Naniniwala ako na wala naman tao ang di marunong magluto. Actually either natatakot lang kasi iniisip kung ano agad magiging lasa o comment ng titikim o kakain o kaya naamn tinatamad :)

    I used not to like cooking, not until I realized na one day i want to cook for my wife specially when she is pregnant :) ayun! kablam! patok sa pagluluto si mokong! ahahaha

    Yaka lang ang pagluluto :) kaya Happy Cooking :)

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
