See this... photo by Charles A lot of people (boys to be exact) asked for my autograph after the Mindanao Bloggers Summit. Is it because of my alluring smile? LOL! Just kidding... Nope, it's because I was doing this during lunch time... photo by Jun I was handing out the yummy free lunch by Dimsum Diner. Oh, and here's another photo of me with a fan... JUST KIDDING! That's me with Winston the volunteer. {PST! Pasalubong from Brunei and Indonesia ha.}

Baking Class Day 2
It was another tiring day as Kuya Andrew and I attended the second (and final day) of our Bread Making Class in CACS Davao. This time we had an easier time baking and finished earlier but it was still very stressful. Kuya baked Blueberry Bread and Whole Wheat Pan de Sal. I baked Walnut Loaf and Cuban Bread. Other breads that were baked were Olive Bread, Fig Bread, and Potato Bread. Chef Jun jun made dip which was perfect with the breads. YUM! I'll post the photos taken by Kuya and more info about this experience in the coming days. :D
Baking is NOT an Easy Job
Kuya Andrew and I took a baking class at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies here in Davao City. Our instructor was Chef Jun-jun de Guzman, and there were 7 of us in the class. I was tasked to bake Focaccia Bread and French Rolls. Kuya also baked French Rolls and Ciabatta. It was a very educational but also very tiring experience. The kneading was the worst part. ARGH! Luckily, my Foccacia and French Rolls came out great. But the best bread were the Dinner Rolls. Chef Jun-jun also concocted a dip which he only thought of right that moment. It was yummmmmy! We have another class tomorrow. We will be baking whole wheat bread, blueberry bread, walnut loaf, cuban loaf, and potato bread among others. I'm already excited, but scared at the same time. I hope those breads require less kneading. HAHA!
Me Hate
The Paolo Mendoza tagged me with this hate meme... Food: Ummm... I had a hard time with this. But I think it's got to be onions. EW! Fruits: Marang, langka, bananas... Ew! For some reason I don't like uncooked bananas but I love it when it's boiled, fried or in any other form. Veggies: I hate ampalaya because it's very bitter. People: Controlling and demanding people who think they own me. And FC people!!! Event/Situation/Incident: I hate situations where I am forced to choose between two things. TV Shows/Movies: I don't think there's a TV Show I hate. Oh, wait... local TV shows that pretend to be Filipino originals but are actually clones of foreign shows. Music: I agree with Paolo on this one... COUNTRY! Household chores: All except cooking. :P Thing/s around the world: Stupid, greedy politicians, war, limelight-hungry celebs, people who create discord just to be popular... Thing/s about myself: My lack of discipline. Grrr... RAWRRR! I tag Kuya Andrew, Winston, and Jezh.
