im busy

hell I am! It has been more than 2 weeks already since my last post. aww.

Well, I have my reasons:

First - my TL left the company already. We have been planning this for half the year already. I should have made myself prepared for this. But hell. Little did I know how busy she was. All those issues, no matter how simple, take much of my precious time. Now I know how 'kurap lang ang pahinga' felt like. aww

Second - I was and am fixing my own farewell. hehe. (wait for the details in my next posts) :D

Third - I suddenly felt the urge to prepare my wedding! Yes I am excited. weeee

I am busy as a bee! weeee

muzon maki

Miel is a big fan of Jap foods. Katsudon, Gyuniku, Ramen, Gyudon, Tempura Teriyaki, Yakisoba... But of all these foods, he loves California Maki more. Yes that food is very much Japanese. Well, it was popularized by Jap chefs who ventured their career in Los Angeles, thus the name California Maki. But basically, it is Japanese. And he wants me to learn how to make it. waaaaaa

I spent hours to prepare it. Such a time waster and very meticulous. But fulfilling.

So here it goes, my very own 'Muzon' Maki. (this is where I live, so I named mine after the place. hehe)

It needs a lot of polishing to make it more commercialized looking. But I'll get there. :)

Facebook Publicity

I was uncertain of how good (or bad?) facebook is in transmitting information. Not until now.

Yesterday, I was feeling so lovestruck that I decided to post a link of my boyfriend's (ok! fiance's) proposal video on facebook. In just 15 minutes my hit counter sky rocketed to additional 28 views. And now after a day, I counted 50+ more views. (BTW, the proposal happened 4 months ago. I just don't feel like causing commotion then so i didn't post it right away.)

I have no idea if my story was that interesting or my facebook friends were just too bored so they bite to whatever posts they saw on their news feed. 

Now I know the true power of facebook. Expect that I will not post my wedding date there. hehehe :))

The Proposal

I was speechless. totally. I didn't cry though. I don't know why. Maybe I was just really surprised. I thought we just went there to watch his fave singer - Sitti Navarro. I'm wrong. That night was not for him, its for me.

It took me a while to realize that hey this is really happening. He asked me to marry him. Oh my God! 

I said YES of course. with my whole heart.

Have I known that this will happen, I should have worn my best dress. 

And get a decent videographer. The video is super shaky. (Kilig much? hehe)

But I like the surprise. 100% caught off guard.

Anyways, that was my night. the night I promised to be Mrs. Darwin Talattad. later. :)

union

It's no secret that I like eating. Well, my figure definitely proves it. hehe :)

But not all people know that I also have a very good liking to making the food!

This Christmas, I was given an appliance to master my secret desire - an electric oven!

Thank you miel, my ever generous boyfriend. Now I have no reason to delay cooking for him. hehe

I will post some of my firsts pa-cham food later. :)

CAPEñAnista

Of the many things i plan to do this holiday break, photography and blogging come firsts on my list. I haven't really took time to practice my DSLR since I bought it last November (aww such a waste). So now I took the liberty of my long and well deserved break to practice my chosen craft.

Model: no problem! I have my little sister who is very much willing to be my slave just to have herself photographed. hehe

Concept: her Capeñanista shirt! a Christmas give away shirt from my cousin's internet cafe (BTW, i made the shirt's design)

emote to the max

wind effect

Will my cousins like their shirt's pictures? they should. hehe :P

start of badtripping

I am a certified pack-rat. I want special things to be remembered.  But duh. no one does that anymore.
We are in the world where computer rules. Where pictures and stories matter more.
So im starting this blog. Maybe to just go with the hype. Or to actually keep and share my special memories.
Goodluck to me. and Hi everyone. :)
