Go back to my previous life, I mean before I got married what I know only How to prepared Spaghetti, Fried Chicken, Macaroni with Chicken Salad, Fruit Salad, Gulaman, Leche Plan, Puto, Bibingka, Soman, Bico, and to bake a simple cake. I used to prepare some of this recipes especially for any occasion such as Birthday, Christmas, New Year, and all soul days.
When I started working I stop cooking, I remember my father he used to tell me to prepare Caldo Baka (means Beef with vegetable soup) especially of my day off, I reply to my father, why me! this is my day off I need to take rest, the maid is there to cooked for us.
I flew to Kuwait searching my dream husband, but unfortunately I meet another one who is really sincere, loving and caring, which he has those qualities I want. Before I got married I told him, I don't know anything! beside those negative feedback he still interested in marreing me.
