Fast One...

You cannot deny the fact that our world evolves on latest gadgets and technology as our means of communication to our loved ones who leave far from us or based on the other side of the world.

I had sister who recently got married and now loving in the US and our ways of communication is by chatting online, while the other sister decided to leave the Metropolis and stay for good in a province nearby.

I was amazed because the other night she was just complaining of being bored because she was used to being online most of the time, since she's also a stay at home mom like me. We're like just texting each other telling me that she's in the mall applying for a post paid plan internet connection like what I had and before I knew it she was already online chatting me that she got one already that fast.

The thing is, she got the post paid plan but no more antenna or installation needed just a plug-in post paid connection. All the while I thought that the plug-ins are just for prepaid subscribers.oh well atleast, we can communicate more often again. Technology is really fast changing and before you know it there will be new innovations again.

Bitter or Sweet

I've been a sahm for a couple of months now and was able to watch our local cooking shows when my son and I are having our lunch. Not only once I heared through this chefs that onions should be first sauteed and garlic next. Hmmm.. Why am I talking about this? It doesn't make sense if you think bout it, but if you love to cook and want to serve good food on your table every time for your family it matters a lot that you'll learn this basic stuff of cooking.

So what's the reason behind this procedure? Well basically they said that it makes a big difference with the taste. Onion when sauteed longer tends to be sweeter making it more flavorful, while garlic when over cooked ends up to emit a bitter taste.

I always see my mother when she cooks that garlic is always the first being saueteed and I don't see any difference. My husband who's also a good cook on the other hand always starts with the onion and it taste good also. So which is which? Well, I guess it depends on the one who's cooking. As for me the secret of a perfect and tasty food is on the hands of the cook, they don't just heat ingredients on the fire they create a masterpiece with their dishes as an artist of the kitchen.

Passion for cooking

I grew up in a family who loves food and a mother who's kapangpangan and really cooks superb dishes. Glad that I was able to love cooking and proud to say that I can cook and baked my favorite food. I've learned through watching my mother in our little kitchen, and waiting for weekend baking show when I am still single.

My mother can cook everything and you can always find her in the kitchen. Special dishes are like ordinary menu in our table. As I watched her and eat those food cooked and prepared with love, I learn to realize now that I have my family that it matters a lot that you know not just how to cook but make meals that is healthy and will satisfy your loved ones taste buds.

I am very thankful that I can copy my favorite dishes from some resto we're we used to dine and from different cooking shows. I don't know, maybe it's with the taste buds I guess, a magic in your tongue wherein you can sort the ingredients within.

Lucky for me to succeed to copycat this menus, although some needs to be repeated allover to achieve the exact taste your looking for.

Now, that I no longer go to the office I got a chance to enhance this passion I have for cooking by being in charge of our dinner everyday. There were days that I want it Mexican, Chinese, Italian and well loved authentic Filipino dishes, whatever it is on the table sure everyone was satisfied and happy.

In the near future I wish I could take this passion for cooking to the next level, and enrolling in a Culinary school will be a dream come true for me.

I am back.. this time for good

I have created this blog a year ago without any intention of broadcasting my life on the net but just wondering and curious on how the life of a blogger are?..And this time I guess I am back, I hope for good. I wish that I will always have a time to write here, especially now that I am a stay at home mom (and lovin it) without anytime to catch up everyday.

Anyway, I've been avid fan of different blogs and sure it is I was able to read all their post and check it daily not only once, hoping to read something new from them. It sure does occupy my time and entertains me a lot.

Here are some of my favorite blog site:

1. Manila Fashion Observer
A blog which talks about fashion, foreign brand, lifestyle, etc. I am not a fashionista but I am intrigue and wondering if I can go with the new style and trends.

2. Bo Sanchez Practical Soulfood For Successful People
I like this blog because it somehow show you the reality in life with the real stories that will inspire you and lesson learned relating it to the bible. Very light yet very meaningful everytime I read the blog.

3. Daphne's Diary
I'm an "F" fan when I was still single and knowing that she had a blog excites me now that she's also a mother. The blog is more about motherhood, fashion, lifestyle and living in the urban. She does talk a little about her girls but when she does, you know that she's a dedicated mother more than a career woman that's why I admire her.

These are just few of my favorite sites, and I hope that somewhere along the way this blog Making Life Easy of mine will be an inspiration also to others like those I mention above to me.
