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!

Beside Kuchen and Game Day Fun

 
Last Saturday was great. It was the first time I had to cook for two events on the same day. It was really just supposed to be food for our game day event but my Uncle called me to order food for his wife's, my Aunt obviously, birthday.



My Uncle also ordered from another catering service, Kuchen. It was an absolute thrill to actually cook beside one of my most favorite catering services. It was really one of the days I could just really be happy that someone really loves my food that they would order mine along with a great catering service. Not to mention, their roast beef is awesome with my mashed potatoes. Speaking of, I should try making roast beef soon.

Anyways, it was a very tiring day. Whoops! That's an understatement. Game day finished around two o'clock in the afternoon the next day so it really was very tiring. The Hearty, Cheesy Taco Beef was a hit for the Game Day event. I need to tweak it a little bit but it was great.

But before that, people are asking me to do fish first. Cream Dory with Cheese Sauce here I come. He he!

Anyways, that was my weekend. I had my much needed rest and it's back to my thesis for the moment. Bye and take care, guys!

Thesis and Double Cooking

I know I am not supposed to write it down here but I really, really want to thank the people who made yesterday possible.

I don't know if it was because I looked so sick because of my allergic rhinitis yesterday and they just looked at me with pity or was it really about the way I handled myself in the defense and the panel was a bit nicer than usual but I passed my topic proposal yesterday. In the six years I have been in college, it would be the first time that I really felt fulfilled. I know it's just a topic proposal but it's really hard to pass a topic because that's what I have been doing every term for almost 2 years.

For all the people's prayers, support, and love, thank you! It was a scary experience especially when I was just telling my friends that I think it may take another term. January (or is it February?) graduation, here I come!

I really want to thank The Edge's creative director, Ate Rory, and director for development and web marketing, Ate Ailene, for putting up with my nuisance calls every now and then. I would especially love to thank my mentor, Sir Brucelas, for helping me get my thoughts straight and the panel for letting me defend my topic. For the other supporters, you know who you are.

The feeling kind of reminds me what I felt after cooking for a hundred people two months ago. This is awesome!

Okay, now back to and moving on to cooking, I have two events today. I think this would be harder than cooking for a hundred people because, this time around, I have to cook in the morning, deliver it there before lunch, eat lunch with them because it's a family event, go back here, cook again, and deliver again before dinner.

Things to cook for today: Hearty, Meaty Spaghetti, Soulful, Tender Roast Chicken, Hearty, Creamy Mashed Potatoes, and Hearty, Cheesy Taco Beef.

Short post. Will expound on it after everything is done. Ha ha! Love...
