it is wisdom gained

the wisdom behind living here..........

1) love transcends everything. nothing can stop love. no one can stop love. religion, nationality, and everything else you thought were important would no longer matter when it comes to love.

2) people only follow the rules they want to. every rule can be adjusted or disregarded just to suit themselves. and it doesn't matter who wrote or decided the rules. you can always bend it and continue living happily and believe you are not doing anything wrong.

3) you are always better than you think and stronger than you believe....

4) OFW always feel tired... i guess its because some part of us will always be at home. we are never whole here. and the part that comes with us, always has to be on guard and do the work for the one left behind.

chopsuey: food, friends and relationships

cooking: my newly discovered skill

i don't cook back home. if i do cook it would be either grilling or frying and everything would be chopped, mixed and marinated by my mother or sister already. but there is one thing that i could cook well and mastered... beef steak. thats it.  other than that, i dont know.  living on my own made me discover or rather forced me to discover something that i thought i never could do. so much as do it really well.  i never thought i could cook!!! and my flatmates are raving over my simple fried chicken, grilled chicken, chicken steak, burger steak and gravy, camaron rebosado and most recently CHOPSUEY! yes! i have successfully cooked chopsuey with the help of the ever reliable internet.hahaha 

OFW: organization of friends worldwide

i am having a blast here in oman! having a good circle of friends surely makes up for some of the loneliness and homesickness i feel here.  they've become my family here. everything was made easier for me because of them. my filipino friends here are great, they're fun to be  with and i know they'll be there when i would be needing them. the omani friends are also fun to be with though sometimes they are "kamote".hehehe the guys are much nicer than the girls though. there's still a whole of other people out there i will meet. it would be really great to have this international circle of friends.

RELATIONSHIPS

yep, something's cooking....
