Whenever there's an opportunity to cook, I ensure to grab it and put my best in it. When I say 'best', I mean there's shouldn't be any short cuts. HOWEVER, we need to consider the resources and the availability of the ingredients. So please forgive me with this recetas de comida mexicana perezoso, burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrito.

Second Thoughts Make Sense

There was a time that I thought of having without feeling anything. *sigh*

pain

stress

tears

*light bulb* Then, I realized that life is a roller coaster of emotions. Nothing you can achieve unless you ride in. In an event that you go astray and break some of your parts, you know He is there ready to fix your broken pieces. All you gotta do is call. He knows when to let you continue the ride. Stop overs are necesarry to get rested and to fuel-up. However, never be stock; get back the ride. Always look back and learn your lessons which you can use as go along your crazy ride.

Join the ride • Pause for a while • Refill • Move forth • Look back

Cheers!
