Family matter..

I may have not blogged for a while. When I was younger, I used my negative emotions to write poems and essays as an outlet. To let go of it thru writing. But now it is different. Now, I have become more mature when dealing with my emotions, and I'd rather keep it to myself and pray.

Someone asked me what my weakness was and it took me sometime to think deeply what it is. It is my family. I grew up having my parents and brothers always around me. We were taught that the most important thing is having a complete family, my Mom and Dad never wanted a broken family. They did all means just to keep us binded despite the storms that went our way.

A family can never be completely happy. We had to go through different trials to test our faith and love for one another. Although we are not used to show our feelings, we know how much we love each other, how we care for one another. One's problem is everyone's problem.

I never asked for anything fancy from God, my simple wish is that we will all grow old together as a happy family. I want my parents to see their grandchildren get married and have kids. I want them to always be there for us to guide us in the decisions we make. I just want my parents to live peacefully, now that we their kids are all grown up. But it seems so impossible right now. Sometimes, I ask God why we have to go through another trial. It never seem to end. But then, we just have to trust in Him, that He will always be there, coz He never gives us problems that we could not carry. For now, we just have to lift up everything to Him. I believe one day, this will all end, and my family can be genuinely happy once again.

It's Fall once again!

Even without knowing the time, you will know how many months have passed with the change of season.. Summer has gone so soon, now it's fall once again. I get so emotional whenever I see how the seasons change, and how it affects the surroundings and the beauty of nature itself. I love seeing the seasons change , it sorts of uplifts my spirit making me realize how God is so brilliant. The leaves slowly withering, changing its color from green to brown, then it eventually falls to the ground, which signifies it is indeed fall. The hot summer wind changes as the cold wind of autumn touches my cheeks. And all I can see are the colors of the barren trees, the withered leaves on the road, and the orange and yellow colors of my favorite withered maple trees.



Somehow, you see how the city changes differently as the temperature gets lower. As if it surprises your eyes, that the park you pass by everyday to work , now has barren trees. The beauty of nature.


At Sogi Park. November 2009. "Illumination" is the term here, where they put spotlights on the maple trees, thus creating reflections on the water.

Cupcakes fever..

Gahd it's been a month since I have blogged. Been busy with my cake orders, and just recently someone who just added me on Facebook ordered 160 cupcakes to be used as the cake for her debut. Good thing we had 5 mutual friends, and my cousin knew her too. I thought it was a bogus customer. All the while I was hesitant to add contacts that I never was acquainted with. But it makes me think twice, like this, possible customer pala.. That was by far my biggest income in my pastries and cakes biz. Imagine, I was able to bake 160 of it in just one day. It was
a rush order. I did not have the time to prepare for the boxes since it was to be traveled by land 6 hours to Chiba, Tokyo. I am so happy with the outcome of the cupcakes. Brings out the artistic me.. Realized that when opportunity knocks, do not let it slip away, and be grateful for it.
