Now, you can see that I've decided to share everything about my frustration of being a Chef. This is not really a childhood dream. My passion in cooking shone year 2009. I was assigned by my previous employer as a Coordinator for our client in US. For more than three months of stay, being independent and taking care of myself is a big challenge, that includes cooking my own food. There are instant and microwavable food in the supermarket, they are hassle-free and quick to prepare, still I don't want to risk my health on those "preservatives packed" food. So there, I started cooking. Google is my best friend in getting great recipes. Friends and family showed their support too. And sometimes I added my own style in cooking especially in plating. I so love styling and plating the food.
When I came back in PH, sadly I stopped cooking. I can't find enough time and energy to cook. Everyday I commute going to work from Morong Rizal to Makati, so I always feel very tired when I arrived home. I used my extra time and weekend to get enough rest and sleep.
March 2010, I and a friend/officemate rented a room in Makati. I was excited and started telling my office closefriends that I can finally cook those food I promised them. However, since we're only sharing appliances with the house owners, I became uncomfortable to cook and use their things. Again, I stopped.
July 2011, we transferred to a small condo unit. As usual, I was more excited knowing that it would be like our own place and nobody to share it with. I planned ahead (just in memory) the recipes I want to cook and shared my enthusiasm again with my friends.
After few cooking, I felt like this passion is a calling. I abruptly want to take culinary classes and learn those skills I watched from food TV shows. I daydreamed that someday I will manage my own restaurant, and of course become the Head Chef.
In time, I will go to culinary school. I may not achieve my vision on putting up my own restaurant, but I'll hold on to my dream of being a Chef (even on my own belief) and give happiness to all the people I love through their stomach. :)

So that's the story on how I came up with the name of my blog. I am actually a newbie on public blogging and hopefully the readers will enjoy my future posts about food and cooking.
