I have a passion for cooking. I am proud of it. Not all people can cook or maybe they are just lazy to cook. I got my cooking skills both from my father and mother. I have cooked a lot of Filipino dish and my friends tried it and they are all satisfied. I can even make an easy dish too. When I got married, I was even more challenged because I married a foreigner with different cultures and tradition and of course, different taste buds for the Filipino dish. Luckily, he wasn’t picky when I cook just about anything except for fish. He doesn’t eat fish. He can eat tilapia, catfish, grouper (lapu-lapu), salmon and tuna but not any other kind of fish. We only eat fish if we are craving for it unlike in the Philippines, I grew up eating fish all my life. My mom would always buy fresh fish because its most likely cheaper than any other kind of meat.
Our dinner for tonight is something special. Why? Because I am cooking my husband’s favorite Filipino dish – Sinigang na Baboy. He calls it sour pork. He loves that dish and I always get a lovely kiss from him whenever his stomach is satisfied. He always thank me for cooking something extraordinary and I love it when he appreciates whatever I prepare and serve in the table. I can say all my hard work in cooking is paid off because I can see and feel that my husband is really satisfied.

It has been 1 year, 1 month and 17 days since I witnessed my first summer, fall (autumn), spring and winter where I live now. I never thought that I would experienced such other weather as I am used to have a tropical climate back at home. I know I have been silly about all the changes I have encountered and much to my amazement, I honestly enjoyed wandering around and adapting the new changes around me. It was great! It was like a surprise adventure for me. Meeting other people from different states, driving around for some short trips and discovering much of everything. I had lots of fun to share when I come back to my native land. There will be more great stories to tell. I am sure my family and friends back home can’t wait to hear the stories what its like living in a foreign land – the United States of America!
Although I will be staying much longer than I have expected because I have been running around here and there for my new job. I just got the job and I know it takes time to adapt the new environment here. I know I will get better and will be surprise one day that I have mastered enough being in the position of meeting, dealing and helping the needs and wants of the people. Besides, I have to earn a little bit of money for my future trips and adventure. So much for that, I will enjoy first more weather changes in the coming years of living here together with my loving and sweet husband.
