Lost.

-------------------------- NOT A COOKING ENTRY, JUST STUPID SHIT ----------------------------

So, hello "readers". It's been like 4 or 5 months since I've posted something here. I haven't got much motivation to do it, but I've learned that writing not just makes me happier, but takes a lot off me, since I don't really feel like I can bother anyone with my problems. I just hope this void feeling goes away and I can feel "happy" again. Just wanted to do a little Introduction before posting cooking stuff again. Hope someone is reading this.

Back

Wow, it's been a while since I've wrote, but here I am, I'm back! :D

Some stuff has happened since my last entry. My headaches are still coming and going all the time, but not as bad as they were on the past weeks.
I'm not gonna say "first of all" or anything like that, cause I'm not good to number things in a certain order, so here they go.

Some day last week, this guy came in while we were on class and told us that his company needed a chef because they were going to do a commercial. He choose me and two more guys and filmed us while we chopped some vegetables. Then he took our numbers and info and told us that if we were chosen, they'll call us.

On Thursday, I went to the eye doctor, they told me that, because of my light-green eyes, I need some specially filtered lenses  , so I'm in the process of getting new glasses :)
That same day, before the consult, the commercial guy called me and asked me if I could go to a photoshot for the commercial. I went there, they filmed me saying my name, explaining why I decided to study cooking, etc, because they needed to see how I talked in front of a camera, they needed to see if I was scared to do it, I am not :)
After that, they took some pics, and asked me to walk to the left, then to the right, and smile to the camera, all that while they were filming me. Then they took my info, but this time with a LOT more details, like shirt size, shoes size, and stuff like that, and told me the same thing, "If you are chosen, we'll call you".

Oh, also, I finally got the macarons right!!!, Here is a pic of how they came out :D


This is before the Nutella :3, you take one, put some Nutella on it, and put another one on the top. I gave this to my fiancé, she loves them, and we had tried to make them like 6758 times before, and all we got was a shapeless.... stuff xD But it tasted nice :3

Ok, so I finished with French Cuisine, started with Brazilian, finished that too, and now we're seeing Caribbean. We made snail soup yesterday, allegedly to be afrodisiac. 

I've been expending a lot of time with le fiancé <3 We ate sushi, went to the movies (saw The Artist, LOVE IT) slept, cuddle, watched movies, played, laughed, being happy together :3 

What else? Hmmm, also I finished my driving lessons, now I have to go to the medical exams, they'll check if I'm not completely insane, and I'm reliable to drive a car. I started reading "El alquimista" from the author Paulo Coelho, great book so far, I started playing Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep on my fiancé's PSP and I'm playing KH1 again :) I absolutely love those games <3 

Last but not least, I am seriously thinking of dying my hair blue again, but I really need to work in order for me to graduate this year so... JKDHSFKJHSDF AHHH!!!!! 

After that short but understandable loss of composure, I wish you all a great night, sleep tight, or if you don't sleep to much, try and draw, sing, or/and eat you're night away :) Hugs

Hospital

I've just returned from the Hospital. The pain wasn't ceasing. They took some blood to run some tests, and they gave me some intramuscular medicine for the headache.

The results showed that everything was normal, it was migraine. They told me to avoid TV, PC, and reading.
I'm here just to update the blog, cause writing this blog distracts me from the pain. I didn't go to colleague today because of the intense pain, but I hope I'll go tomorrow. I miss my fiancé terribly :( yesterday we didn't saw each other because I was sleeping, trying to control the pain, and today, the doctor told me to rest, not to leave the house.

I hope I get better soon so I can go hug her, kiss her, and just be with her <3 I love being with her <3

I'll get some sleep now, while hearing Dragon Ball Z, hugs.

Moments

Life is like a blanket made out of a lot of little pieces, you know? I'm not gonna go on and on saying the same old metaphors you have all heard. It's just that some days we do not add a single piece to that blanket, and it shouldn't be like that, everyday, if not everytime, we must add pieces to that blanket, to that knowledge.
That knowledge obviously is not gonna be a "good" one always obviously, sometimes you'll find out horrible things. But on the bigger picture those pieces are good ones, useful ones.

I've just watched the first episode of the second season of "Sherlock". I know after we watch certain movies or series we end up like "Wow, that was great, it had a great teaching, we must enjoy life and live it at our best" but then, a couple of hours later, we forget all about that and keep on with our "normal" lives and that may be happening right now, cause after watching Sherlock, you end up with this deep feeling of becoming better at everything, be smarter, stop paying attention to useless, banal stuff, and pay attention to really important things. I hope this feeling I have right now wont go away, it has got me pretty good. After 4 episodes of Sherlock, that feeling is stronger than ever. And I know it may sound silly that I got my inspiration from a series, but I don't care, inspiration can come in any form or shape.

So that being said, let us resume with the blogging stuff :3 I haven't write in a couple of days, I was kind of giving up on this, because I think no one is reading me, but now I realize, I'm doing this mostly for me, to let out everything that's on my mind(s) and chest.

So, let me make you a little resume of what happened on the last week (that I haven't blogged about anyway) Ok so on Wednesday, was our last day of Italian Cuisine (part of my World Cusine class) and we made handmade pasta, with some of the most renown sauces, Napolitan, Carbonara, and Puttanesca. The dough for the pasta is pretty simple, for every 100gr of flour, 1 egg. But let me tell you, that f*ing dough is hard!! You'll need a a special machine to get it flat enough, or you can make it with the rolling pin, but you'll have a pretty good tendons pain :) (QUICK NOTE: It's raining, I love rain, even more, writing while it rains) To make some of the sauces we used some chili, a pretty hot one. We made all the sauces and there was a little chili left on a bowl. A partner of mine, decided to make a bet: he would eat all the remaining chili for 30.000 pesos (more or less 15 dollars) After sometime of him hesitating if he should do it or not, me and some guys convinced him that he should (xD) and he did. Part of the bet consisted of him not to be able to drink or eat anything 10 minutes after eating the chili. His eyes we're all red, he started jumping up and down, and he kept opening and closing his mouth. Surprisingly enough, the teacher didn't noticed him. The teacher would have helped convincing him to eat the chili, he is pretty cool hahaha. He got his money and everyone was pretty happy with the results of the bet.

After that, the teacher gave us a grade for our work, told us that we were on of the funniest, happiest groups ever, and said goodbye to us all. I hope I have class with him again some day. Thank you Claudio.

Then, Thursday arrived and it was Colombian Cuisine day, we made some pretty typical plates. Arepa de Huevo (1) , Carimañolas (2) , Arroz Empastelado (Like a Risotto) (3) , Crispetas (Little Popcorn) (4) Enyucado (5) and Bocachico en Cabrito (6).

All of them were delicious, but I'm growing more and more tired of eating meat. I want to become a veggie as fast as possible, the problem is that I HAVE to try a little piece of everything I cook, so I think I'll be doing that when I graduate... I know, I'm horrible.

Thursday was a pretty good day, I was pretty nervous about my aniversary on Friday and my Administration homework. But then Friday arrived and everything went pretty good, I got the best grade possible on Administration and Merchandising went good. After classes I ran to the bakery shop to buy some stuff for le romantic dinner with le fiancé. I wanted to make some Macarons (In case you don't know what a Macaron is, heres a pic) but they dind't have what I needed the most, Almond Flour. Fuck. But I bought some colorant, Orange colorant, and some other stuff.

I arrived home, starving, had some lunch, and started to plan how I was going to make things happen. I decided to make some pasta to her, and for desert some macarons. I made the pasta, without the machine, with the rolling pin, and I can assure you that's a better working out than any weights on the gym. I finally made it, and started with the Napolitan sauce, I did it too very fast (it's a simple sauce) and started with the *sigh* macarons. Since I didn't got the Almond flour, I bought some almonds and "pulverized" them myself.
Everything was going good (or I thought that) and what I got where some overgrown orange thingies.

Le fiancé arrived, I served her the pasta, making the plate looked as delicious as I could, and she loved it :) She gave me a box of macarons (some properly made ones hahaha) a diary (a VERY meaningful one) for me to write my thoughts, and a beautiful letter <3 She told me she had more presents but they hadn't arrived, I mean, isn't she the purely definition of love?
After dinner we watched The Little Mermaid, one of her favorite movies, and we had a beautiful evening together.

Then Saturday came, I woke up, left the house to do some exercise, some abs, push ups, pulls ups, etc, and at the end some jogging, cause exercise without cardio is kind of pointless. After that I came home again, did some homeworks I needed to do, a group assignment (Oh God how I hate to work in groups) and then I played a little bit of Prototype (I was going to play Bayonetta, but I missed Prototype) At night, some friends came, we played basketball at night, a friend and me, while we were waiting for my other friend to come. We played at 9:00pm at night, with freezing cold weather (It had been raining) and it was great!! He won, but the match was really cool, I have to do it more often. After the match, we came home, I made some dinner, we started to play Gears of War 3 and then my other friend arrived. We played for a little bit, talked shit as usual, and had a great time, as usual.

Sunday is here. I had planned to do some exercise today too but I woke up too late and I had to do another homework. My fiancé was staying with a friends so we haven't seen each other since Friday. I'm visiting her later today :) Oh I forgot, I may start working at a local Bakery so I have all my hopes on that, it would be great for me to learn new stuff and start to develop on the field :D

This was good, I love to write. Hope someone reads this and enjoy it :) lkajsfdlksdkf Later. Best wishes to all.

Love

Hello fellas. I'm two and a half hours to reach one of the most specials dates, my first anniversary, February the 24th <3

I cannot tell you guys what I have planed because my fiancé may read it and I would spoil the surprise. All I can tell you is that I am going to put all of me into making her happy.

I'm anxious, nervous, happy, and extremely in love at the same time. I want everything to be perfect for her tomorrow, I want to be the ideal for her.

Wish me luck :)
