Pots and Pans: A Journey to Mastering the Art of Cooking
As I continue my quest to perfecting the art of cooking, I started another blog which initially was supposed to be private until I find the right time to "launch" it. But, as usual, I got so excited I can't wait to tell the world about it. I call that blog Pots and...
Writing the Book
I've always wanted to write a book, but I don't know how and where to start. Finally, I have an idea. Tailored to Eat, Pray, Love, I would like to write my book how life was for me, in the past and in the present and how I would like to see myself in the future. To...
Colours of Love
favim.com Finally, after hours of sitting idly and letting my mind wander with nothingness, I finally got something to write for the song I am supposed to do within a week. I am not sure though if I can still get it done till April 25 for the deadline. I was tossing...
The Irony of Fate
Because I love movies, I will practically watch something that a friend would recommend and tell me that it is a nice movie, in any language, as long as there are subtitles to it, language barrier solved. I recently watched a Russian movie, on YouTube. Just because I...
My Manic State of Mind
Current State of My Mind Bloggers, can you really post so much blog in a day? Or is it just me? I feel like I am in a manic state right now as I feel I have the need to write or blog all these things that are in my mind. I can't really concentrate much with work...
The Ironies of Life and My Manic State of Mind

Sweet Bohemian Nights
This was previously published in my other blog, which I have already deleted, and I want to repost this as this is one of my favorite events. This event happened in April 2010. This is by the way post #50. Hooray! If I cannot cook or bake it, I buy it. And if I...
My Passion and Frustrations for Cooking and for Men Who Cook
Yesterday, i got an email from an unknown sender. The title somewhat caught my attention. I usually do not open emails from senders that I do not know. The subject was, “ Explore Your Hidden Talent”. It could have been a virus but I opened it anyway. It...
My Life in Songs
What's in a song? Every person I know loves to sing. I do. And I bet you do too. I recently finished a Songwriting course at Coursera, but I know I won't be able to get a Statement of Completion because I have been very busy lately and wasn't able to do the quizzes on...
