I was lucky enough to be invited to the Legacy Dinner of Batch 3 of the Skills Course the Center for Asian Culinary Arts. Aside from getting to eat all those yummy foods they served, I hosted the event. It was a virtually fuss-free gig. :) Oh, you're more interested in the food? While waiting for the buffet to open and the other guests to arrive, I munched on a Foccacia served with Chicken Liver Pate and Confit. I'm a fan of liver pate so I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pate had a nice smooth texture and was very flavorful. The focaccia was nothing extraordinary, but it had olives in it so YEY! They served three types of salads: Ceasar's, Waldorf, and Salad ala Greca. They also had California Maki, Manhattan Maki, Tekka Maki, and Tuna Sashimi, and Salmon Sashimi. I only got to try the sashimis because well, there was just to many people lining up and they ran out of the makis. The sashimis were fresh. The tuna was kinda cold and iced, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. There were two types of pastas and two types of sauces. I had Spaghetti with the Pomodoro with Italian Sausage.…

Gwing on the Skyrider
Lakas no? Power lungs! I was kilometers away from them. I wasn't able to ride because I was terrorized by the stairs. Saaad.... This was during the last day of the Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2008.
Almost Over
One last dinner, and the first-ever Davao Food Appreciation Tour is over. I'm happy it has been successful and fun. Not to mention the stress will end. But I'm also sad coz Ate Aileen and Kuya Sweetie Jay are going back to Manila soon (not too soon though - YEY! :D ), and Avel and Mars are going back to Gen Santos. Hopefully, we have more participants next time. And of course... more food to enjoy. :)
Sad and Hurt
There are times when are so narrow-minded and closed to new, unknown things that we begin to hurt people. We see ourselves and our actions differently from how others perceive us. For us, what we are saying and doing are what is right and proper. Yes, it might be what is true and right, but it doesn't mean it is not hurtful or that it can be wrong. Sometimes, we can have the best intention but fail to deliver our message properly because we simply do not know how to say things properly, how to get the message across. Instead of showing concern, we become harsh and hurtful. Instead of making a person feel important and loved, we make them feel like they are stupid and wrong. There is always a way to say and do things such that it does not hurt or make a person scared. Just because you think you are right and have the reasons and logic to think so, doesn't mean that you are. And being smug about it, simply does not improve the situation. Even when people are wrong or have judged wrongly, they feel pain and hurt.
