The Ultimate Food Trip happens in Rockwell on September 3

I'm really anxious about this and I want to go. Guys, do you think I can? :) I just want to bring my pasta to the event.

Rockwell's Ultimate Taste Test 

The Bazaar Experience

I would have posted sooner but I was really pretty beat up after all the five days of bazaar. And after all that hard work, I understood just one simple thing: it is hard to do things alone.

Every morning from August 8 to 12, I woke up at midnight or past midnight to start preparing and cooking. I have to be finished by 6:00 AM so that I can let it rest and leave at around 7:00 AM or 7:30 AM. Fortunately, I had a driver so most of my sleeping time was done in the car. Once at school, I had to bring all my stuff to the venue in the middle of the school and set up my booth. I manned the booth all day, then packed up, and waited for my driver to pick me up. Once home, I just sleep and do it all over again.

I am not one to complain because I wanted this and it was really fun. I was able to make friends with the booth beside me even if they were also selling food. I would say it was really just a learning experience for me.

I would be the first one to tell you guys that I did not really earn that much in terms of money but I learned a lot that time. The food was great but the people who will be there to support you matter as much and even more than. So this would really just be my way of saying, thank you to everyone who helped me throughout the week and the people who tried out our food. I hope I could be able to hear from you guys again.

A Brief Experience

DLSU Bazaar is hard but awesome! Cooking, sleeping in the car, setting up, selling and giving out food, go home, sleep, and do it all over again. I just want to invite you guys at SJ Walk in DLSU-M so please support our last two days! Please share to your friends! :)

Thank you, guys!

So I could not sleep again as usual, I was so excited from our food shoot yesterday with David Garmsen, a wedding photographer. David is a good friend of mine and I really am happy that he took it on his busy schedule to shoot for Heart, Meat, & Soul Foods. It was a great shoot even if it was kind of cloudy. I love how the shots turned out.

It was a great experience cooking, running around, and arranging the shots. I loved working with my mom who was the food stylist for the shoot. I also want to take some of her recipes into consideration especially her lasagna and baked macaroni. Okay, maybe more than just taking them into consideration, he he!

Torn

I am so excited that I cannot sleep again. I am so excited that I have been planning what I should be doing for the DLSU Bazaar this coming August 8 to 12. I am really scared how it will turn out and what my fellow Lasallians will say about the food. I am still planning how I am going to do the preparing, the cooking, the packaging, and the manning for those 5 days but I am really scared but happy. I am so happy I still have not slept again and I am still not yet fixing my thesis up.

Yes, I am torn with fixing the thesis and fixing the bazaar. But after a few more minutes with the bazaar, I will finally focus all my attention on finishing this thesis proposal. Whatever happens, I will do both. I may be torn but I won't give up.

Hope you guys will support me! Take care and thank you all!

Hi, guys! I have just confirmed that Heart, Meat, & Soul Foods will be having a concessionaire stand inside De La Salle University - Manila for the bazaar this coming August 8 to 12, 2011. Please help and support me by sharing this to your friends and family that are studying in DLSU-M. I am still fixing the prices and the dishes that I will be serving week long but there will surely be the Hearty, Meaty Spaghetti, Soulful, Tender Roast Chicken, and Hearty, Creamy Mashed Potatoes.

Thank you and, for all the Lasallians out there, see you!
