I haven't yet thought of what i would write but I'd like to post some of what ive done so far. Never have I imagined I'd create a blog about my cooking. One of the reason is I always forget to take pictures before we dig into it but I have decided to showcase my culinary expertise or the lack of it in my newest foodie blog. Me and my family enjoy really good food and are always adventurous to try new dishes. Well here are some pictures again.
I wish to chronicle the story of my life through the imaginings of my creative neurons translated into the food that my God contrived hands made.

Twisted Inspiration
Nearly all undergraduates and college drop outs like me resort to a job in the BPO industry that most people know as Call Centers. Who wouldn’t want a high paying job that only requires you to be computer literate and be proficient in the English language both written and oral? Yet the majority of call center agents are unhappy with their job but have no choice. They have no choice because of their responsibilities to their family, no corporate job is available for them, and blue collar jobs with their meager salary are not an option and also a way to support their vices and extravagant lifestyles.
The BPO industry in our country boomed in the early 2000 and a lot of us were hopping from one company to another because of better compensation. A lot of us tenured agents get higher offer because of our experience in the industry. Start up companies needs us to impress their clients.
But sooner even the high compensation isn’t enough o motivate me. It came to a point that I have to drag myself to work almost crying on the way. Then I would ask myself, am I willing to sacrifice bliss and enjoyment just so I could earn big figures and be successful? Although success is relative no matter how we define it we can be successful yet unfulfilled. I knew then that I have to make major changes in the way my career is going. A lot of times I would also ask myself what I enjoy most doing. Would I be able to turn my hobby into a career or should it always be separated? Manning the kitchen has been my hobby since I could remember. I was always in the kitchen experimenting and editing recipes I find. Thus my choice to leave the stiff eight hour not so corporate job and decided to take up culinary arts. A profession I would enthusiastically enjoy.
I’m inspired and I wouldn’t let anything get in the way to do what I really want. I know there will be rough times but hell if I would let it spoil my fun along the way. I’m excited with my new endeavor. The idea of learning new ideas as I go along the path I have chosen gives me chills. I will definitely have a fun time all through out.
