Kitchen Disaster
Lagot ako.
I have just come out of our kitchen and I get this feeling that my family's not going to enjoy our dinner tonight. Because I did the cooking, it was a total fiasco again.
First, the vegetable dish that I cooked tastes bitter and salty at the same time; and the green leafy vegetable that was supposed to look fresh when served now looked so wilted.
Second, the boneless bangus turned out durog and too oily! Poor fish! Served in a platter, the bangus looks more like a lechon flesh according to my brother. But as for my dad, it looks more like SCRAMBLED EGGS. The crispy fish skin, which is my sister's favorite, would not separate itself from the pan, so when I was trying to take the fish out, it literally undressed before my eyes! Nag-bold yung isda sa kawali!
And to add to these terrible dishes is my ruined version of Tocino. As usual, I burned it. What I hoped would save my face form further embarassment instead became the finale to my unearthly cuisine. The smell of burning carbon filled the kitchen and when I checked the covered pan, I saw black pieces of meat instead of red! Fortunately though, I was fast enough to turn off the stove, and was able to save some pieces of the Tocino.
Lagot talaga ako.
Anyhow, babawi na lang ako sa after-dinner meal. I prepared home-made pizza, and I assume that it would be EDIBLE this time around.
You Are Never Safe Anywhere
There has been a series of burglaries and sungkitans in our village during the past few days which keeps me from sleeping soundly at night.
Just recently, the third-floor occupants in our building were robbed of their audio-visual showcase. Our neighbors living in the building adjacent to ours were robbed of stereos inside their cars.
And just this morning, my friend Dianne was robbed a great deal! The thieves broke into their house 1:30 in the morning and took with them their cellphones, electric guitar and amplifier, and wallet containing her parents' ATM cards, her UP Form 5A where 2 subjects were already enlisted and her UP ID! You bet she really went crazy about the Form 5A and ID, for those two are what UP students call their "precious".
Well the thing is, I find it really impossible how thieves still managed to enter our village when we are already surrounded by soldiers and military police. Given that this is already a military camp, why would anyone still dare to enter such a secured place?
Is the security system insufficient?
Or, are the people inside involved in the felony?
Could be.
Either way, action needs to be done...before it happens to us.
Extra Nonsense Talk
I was checking the calendar this afternoon and I noticed that in a few days, I'll be going back to school again. Oh no. I'm not yet ready. But I am excited to dissect a cat.
Wala lang.
