today we cook pok!
i haven't been able to come up with updates for the last 3 days as my very busy schedule has not permitted me to think of anything creative to make of the events that have transpired. then again, i really have nothing new to say. i don't have much of an interesting life.
i saw the trailer for julie and julia last night. it's this movie about a blogger named julie powell, who attempted to cook every single recipe in julia child's cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. she detailed her triumphs and misses in her blog which became popular among the foodie bunch and eventually got a book deal for it. i really don't know julia child but from what i've gathered after googling her, she was quite popular back then for her cooking show, The French Chef. As someone who grew up watching Wok with Yan, i guess i understand what the fuss was about. well Wok with Yan doesn't exactly have the eccentric elements of The French Chef (although mister yan DOES have his moments, his chopsticks, knife techniques and my best friend said he spits all over the food while talking) but i understand its appeal since i really really looooove cooking shows. watching the trailer and thinking about my childhood made me remember how much i loved baking. maybe i'll try to fix up a pie sometime this week.
anyway, i may not know julia child, but i do understand julie powell. i know what it's like to feel stuck in your place with nothing more but a job (a job you hate, if i may add) to wake u up in the morning. i admire her for channeling her energy to an activity that allowed her to be creative. i wish i would also have a chance to do that.
ROOM UPDATE:
the cabinets and bookcase are done! yey! i am just waiting for my new desk to get painted. instead of buying a ready made table, i had our carpenter make me one since this would allow me to get exactly the right size and design. plus, my mom told me it'd be cheaper. well...we'll see.
