This is long overdue, but here goes.
First of all, I would like to thank Kamusta.com for giving me the opportunity to be able to express myself by means of your blog essay contest. Although I never expected to win (but hoped of course and even laughed at myself for winning---well frankly, because there were few entries and the latest one was --ako lang ang candidate...Isn't that hilarious.! The last time I also became a winner was in college when I became the Tennis champion of our school....Well that was because I only had one competitor and she was a newbie, and I had been playing tennis since High School...nyaks! (that's probably my fate. hahaha!)
I know there are many out there who read this website but just want to remain anonymous. Don't be shy. .....and by the way, you can express yourself in any way for so long as it is understandable...Even if your english is awkward and you can only express in one of those filipino dialects...go ahead...we love to hear from everyone, di ba? malungkot, mingaw, las-ay ang malayo sa pamilya,.....so let's hear what you have to say.
so there......and I've added a face to my name:






WOW! it's you and Mario Batali. that's so cool! lagi ko siya pinapanood sa iron chef america. kailan kaya magkakaroon ng Filipino challenger sa show na iyon? Lolagwapa, sali ka sa iron chef america at i-challenge mo si Mario Batali. itaas mo ang bandera ng kusinerang Filipina! :-)
Hindi pa ako chef, cook pa ako ngayon----sa asawa ko.(although I'm taking culinary credits) Cooking has always been a passion,but I guess I don't like the stress of a chef. If there is a new breed of jobs here, it's what you call 'Personal Chef". Siguro hangang dyan lang ako maging chef---specially kung yung client ko si Richard Gere. Okay ba?! Thanks by the way for your kind comments.
Once again, the saying, 'who dares, wins!' has been proven to be true. Congrats!
Oh! I almost forgot the very person that was the cause of all these blogging..... Mang Jim, Salamat kaayo for encouraging me to write. If it were not for your close-up smile, wala siguro ko ga-blog ron. Salamat gid!
