For three weeks, our cook and one of our helpers will be out. My parents are frantically searching for a temporary replacement which would fill in her absent slots. And sad to say, up to now we don't have anyone to help out. So, I'd probably be forced to do household chores for three whole weeks. Tiring but maybe it's worth the experience.


Days before our cook/helper left, I volunteered myself to help prepare and cook the food. For a while, I was enjoying the all sautéing and mixing of spices. Well, it was really fun but it kind of makes you perspire since you're exposed to heat for quite some time (specially now that summer's blazing heat is invading the Philippines). Anyway, I manage to cook the two and only meals I know (how to prepare): breaded porkchop and cream of chicken. I also tried to cook breakfast for my two sisters and it went pretty much okay. Good thing they only demanded omelette for breakfast-- nothing really too grand. Whew. So far, I'm pretty much getting the hang of cooking. It's better and more exciting doing the actual thing than just sitting and watching someone cook the food.


Well, I know for a fact that I'm not a pretty good chef-- I mean, in terms of cooking. I'm used to reheating food through microwave and my Mum's kind of getting angry because I would do things almost always in an instant. She wants me to try doing things the other way around-- the harder way. And so, here I am, a retired freshie, aspiring to be a chef. She claimed that since I'm not doing anything that productive this summer, might as well do household chores and learn to cook. My Mum's a really good cook but I don't think I got her genes and it's not really my kind of thing. I'd rather strain my eyes and waste time than do anything productive. I mean, hell c'mon, I've been doing quite "productive" things since June 13 `til March 21. I surely, direly need a break right?? But good enough, this cooking thing is a bit fun. So, it shooes boredom away (but only for a moment).


I couldn't believe that I made my way through freshman year. I couldn't be any happier than this! No more scary teachers, no more homeworks, quizzes, projects. Hell yeah, let's all rejoice. But then again, I have boredom to deal with every single day of every week and every second of every minute of every hour. I AM SO DAMN BORED. Hopefully, everything's going to change once I get control of my dull, messy life. I probably need to get out. Anyone wanna hang out with me??:)
