Apicius Culinary School Naga : Every Dessert has a Story to Tell

 Today, I will look at desserts on a different perspective. Because behind the sweetness and the sugar coats and the chocolates, there's an inspiring and sentimental stories to tell.



Because life is like a box of small cakes... you enjoy it.
Sugary flowers!


The puff pastries according to a very inspired guy   was told to have been folded for days for perfection.And it was heavenly.

 The cupcakes are just as sweet as  well as the wonderful story of the entrepreneurial spirit of the woman who baked it.

The crepe, it's thinness and smoothness as the filling just burst into your mouth. How come it reminded me of how the woman, a teacher from a far away town, dreaded the path of her comfort zone and did something she herself did not expect to do.


The French macarons, it's unforgettable. Just like a lost love, you will always long for the way it tastes and melt in your mouth.

Foccacia bread from now on will be eaten with the feeling of being hopeful and courage. As this bread reminded me of the story about a woman who never been in the kitchen but fearlessly faced her anxieties.

Doctors get to say Hello from the other side, as one doctor get to try a whisk instead of the injection to divert some of her creative energies into baking.

or the story about a stay at home mom who never baked in her life, but decided to learn baking because she wanted to bring some home made goodies for her kids' school activities.


 There will be more stories to tell next time. Sometimes, the desserts you enjoy eating is as interesting as the person who did the baking for you.

Next time, you feel like grooving your way into the kitchen,it's about time, that you click your mouse  HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

Poisoned with Love | Poison Cauldron Library Cafe in Daraga, Albay

Image
From the moment I found the place under the searing heat of the sun, it sends  off automatically a deja vu chills! It's as if there's someone who whispered to me to look right and indeed, I'm on the right spot! I found Poison Cauldron, an old house with big pink open windows, and big trees around the house.  There's that certain smell of old houses and even the old books. It brought some joyful shivers in my spine. and I told myself, I am home. Old houses always struck me as interesting. Mainly, because I also live in a Pre-Spanish era house. Secondly, my Mom and I are paranormal lovers. We like the world of the unknown, ghosts, ghouls, lost souls, aliens and crystals and spaceships  (Well, off topic! This will be another post in my blog). Here is my Top Five Reasons Why Poison Cauldron Library Cafe   is worth your visit! 1. Books!      Lots of it.

The Raya School Naga's Pagtatapos 2016

Image
I was able to attend the graduation rites "Pagtatapos" of The Raya School in Naga City.  I accompanied my favorite Kumadres, Ms.Bernadette de Los Santo, the guest speaker of the moving up event.  How cute! White jacket instead of toga with Ms. Rica Buenaflor and Ms. B. It's not the usual graduation rites with processional and toga and stiff ceremonies. It was cool, relaxed, but one of the most meaningful and sentimental graduation rites of prep and kindergarten I'd ever been.   Fashion show featuring abaca products A super cute song number The kids had fun singing, dancing, reading and  strutting their abaca stuff. I guess it's their final thesis. They gave us all their perception on how they learned things in Raya through poetry and music and their videos on field trips and school presentations and their entrepreneurial skills!  During their pagtatapos they presented different products of abaca, its uses and even recited a poem.  I bet yo

Learning to breathe again

Obviously, yes,  every part of my body is aching tonight. Most especially my wrists and my arms. I am not young anymore. I am not that flexible as before. I cannot reach my toes, I cannot lift or twist my body like I used to do, but surprisingly, I still can lift my butt with that certain yoga position, i can do the child's post and keep my balance but definitely, not that locust position. That one in the picture you're looking at, that's after my very first basic yoga class. I asked my yoga teacher to take a photo of me for this blog and as souvenir. A photo that would remind me that I was able to survive my first yoga class. I was able to keep up with the rest of my yoga classmates. I scrambled while following the  instructions of the yoga teacher who can do all the positions with ease, with impeccable balance, with great stamina. What do you expect from a tired Mom? lols!  I work. I am a very busy woman. My body and mind are both working, besides this, I try  maint
