Nhemskie's Haven

Today I drove past Jurye to Seomyeon and then back home. Tommy said I've been doing quite well (the confidence to be exact) but I'm lacking the basics- taking sudden and quick glances from the rear and side mirrors, braking (Break! break! bre-aa-kkk! like what he always yells..)and merging another lane for some distance. It was stressful and difficult...(being beside him while driving) because he was really tough on me (NO EXCUSES and RISKS like what he says) unlike my driving instructor in Socialites. It makes me feel stuffy at times..and annoyed... how come he would expect that much from a beginner. I sometimes wonder too If he would be exactly like that If I were still his girlfriend. Maybe he would be soft-spoken and a little careful with his tone. Why is it when our loveones try to correct us with our mistakes, it's too difficult to swallow our pride and say.."yeah I was wrong..and you were right." That makes things much more complicated.

Everybody has a talent. One may be good at singing, dancing, playing sports, baking or cooking... but for me I feel cooking filipino food is really not my talent. Last Sunday after going to mass, my feet took me infront of a Bonggo Truck loaded with Philippine goods. My eyes were filled with much happiness to see all my goodies being sold in the truck- the cheese, nata de coco, polvoron, Red Chippy, condensed milk, nido, some fresh vegetables and a lot more. To my cravings, I thought it woud be best If I'll try to cook something for the whole family since I've never tried cooking filipino food here in Korea. So I bought a bundle of string beans (sitaw), a bundle of Kangkong, three pieces of bitter melon (ampalaya), 2 pieces of Tilapia, a sinigang mix and a tomato sauce. With the smiles I wear on my face I was really confident I could do a nice sweet and sour tilapia and a side dish of ginisang ampalaya. So I did what I had to do. Cleaned the fish, fried and sauteed all ingred...
