Your defense mechanisms are always at alert. Were you hurt so badly before that you can no longer trust anybody?

Your list of positive qualities is seemingly endless. But not everybody knows the real you.

Sometimes, you really know how to get underneath my skin. All it takes is a single word.

I thought it could go unnoticed. Apparently, I was mistaken. Or maybe I was just conspicuous.

Anchor Connoiseur Duels

Yehey, in cooperation with Anchor held a special blogger cook off yesterday, at the Magsaysay Institute of Hospitality & Culinary Arts. The Connoisseur Duel pitted the cooking skills and imagination of the bloggers, given a short time limit with provided ingredients to plate a whole 3 course meal.

The judges on board:

1. Dorothy Ferreira, well respected pastry chef and culinary teacher.
2. Juan Miguel Borja, Senior Chef Instructor at MIHCA
3. Leah Barin, Food Service Manager for Fonterra.

At the end of the event, the judges were fairly impressed with the dishes. But more importantly, everyone had fun in the kitchen and even got to sample the food that they had slaved over.

Here are some photos from the event:

Sometimes, we just don’t get the message, sometimes. It would be a bit helpful if you repeatedly bang it in.

You cried the whole night, packed up all your belongings, slapped me in my face and forced me onto the couch. A lot of things were said. Some, I know we really didn’t mean. Where do we go from here?

You reap the benefits of the hard work that others have sown. Have you no shame?

I don’t get it. Your mixed signals confuse me. You say you’re involved. But you still have a soft spot for me. Please make up your mind.

It’s hard to get rid of some bad habits. Believe me, I’ve tried. Some are just too ingrained and just run too deep.

…and so the flow of tears began. I said I was sorry. But I guess you weren’t really paying attention, in between the sobs.

I have to admit, you didn’t really come off as impressive at the beginning. But as you continued, your quality shone through.

Am I supposed to hang around like an ornament? There are dozens of other things that you can put to good use. I don’t think I’m one of them.

You asked me to follow you; I wasn’t ready. But I think I am, now. Does the offer still stand?

We look good together, admit it. Why do we have to play these games and pretend that don’t want to be with each other when it’s evident in your eyes that you want the same things that I do.

With a cigarette pressed between your lips, you received countless glances and evil stares. Hanging out here was your idea. Maybe you shouldn’t have lit up in an enclosed area.

It’s not your laugh lines nor the airs you have about you. But it shows. Oh, it shines through.

I got blinded by something I imagined to be there. Apparently, I was mistaken. The facade was a veiled deceit and an attempt to get something that should not have been.

Havaianas latest Must-Hav

Last night, Havaianas Philippines launched a new line of bags.

Wait? Havainas… bags? Yes, you read right. Following the credo of fun, form and functionality, these new bags are stylishly designed with the revolutionary flip-flops as the inspiration. And true to form, the bags come in different hues, shapes and styles using the rubber from the sandals as an integral part of the carry-ons — with bits of buttons and the rubber soles turned to straps.

In a fun and original fashion show, Havaianas presented their 8 new bag styles that fit every lifesyle.

Here are a few photos from the event…

It’s funny, but I can’t remember certain things about the way we were. It’s not because I love you any less; on the contrary, in fact. Old age has just caught up. And the little things have become too many to count.

I had a dream of the vision I created of you. The pedestal I placed you on seemed to buckle from the weight of your ego.

The seat at the right is reserved for you. How else will you heed your master’s call?

You’re a mess. Get your act together, before we even move on.

Okay, yes. There is beauty in chaos. But your life needs a bit more direction. More purpose.
