Moving on...

Life sometimes has surprises for us, which was proven to me again just recently when an opportunity presented itself that would hopefully benefit me and my career.  These kinds of decisions are always tough to make, but I have come to accept the fact that it might just be time for me to shake things up by accepting a new challenge and in the process leave some people behind....

The time has come for me to say goodbye to everyone that has made me smile here over the last 5 years.  

I would just like to say that there have been many great people here, both past and present, that have made my job truly enjoyable.  

I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication.  

I can't tell you how difficult it is to describe how sad I am to be leaving.

I have enjoyed my time here and I will miss all that this place represents.

As with any special place it is the people who make it and it will be those I will miss the most.  

This company made me realize that this is more than just a workplace, it is a family.  

Looking back, I would never have realized how connected I would be to such a warm community of people.

Tomorrow I will wake up in my new life, full of yet-to-be realized opportunities, and empty of your company... I will be in a strange limbo.  

My last day at the office with a visit from Giulia 
But I believe that life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.  

Future might be uncertain, but I am confident enough to face new trials, new challenges and whatever life has to offer.  

After all thanks to this company, I am now equipped with a lot of learnings, treasured memories, fond moments and special bond with people and friends.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each side or unt

Wee Nam Kee -- a taste of Singaporean Cuisine

Image
My brother in-law would like his dad to have a taste of authentic Singaporean food… and of course the first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about Singaporean Food is no other than “Hainanese Chicken Rice”… Though Hainanese Chicken Rice originated from Hainan, China, it has now also found its home in Singapore as their national dish due to immigration. It is also known as Singaporean Chicken Rice it is served either steamed or roasted. Fortunately, we now have Wee Nam Kee restaurant here in the Philippines. They actually opened late last year and I have read several blogs about it. Wee Nam Kee has made its name originally in Singapore as a top contender for serving the best Hainanese chicken rice alongside Boon Tong Kee and Tian Tian. As I have read in one of the blogs, all their ingredients are sourced locally.  Their secret is that the chickens are freshly delivered everyday from 3 small farm suppliers that alternate delivery. They are chilled -- not frozen. Now

Not so typical valentines speech

Image
This is one of the toastmaster speech I delivered a few days before Valentine's day last year. ========== Good afternoon.   February 14 is a red-letter day for many people. This is the day most people look forward to, especially for the lovers.   But for me, this is just an ordinary day, nothing special,   for I   do not believe in celebrating Valentine’s Day. In fact,   I feel awkward to stand in front of you   to deliver a valentine’s speech.   Yes, you guess it right – I am the   scrooge of Valentines.   But before you raise your eyebrows and give me a piercing look, allow me to state my reasons … First, for me, the origins of Valentines day is not clear. The holiday appears to be   named after two      early Christian martyrs named Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Valentine of Rome [9] was a priest in Rome while Valentine of Terni became bishop of Interamna   and both were martyred and buried on the Via Flaminia . In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calenda
