this is my first ever post here…i’ve only been new to blogging having pastalicious as my first blog.i have to admit that i don’t read blogs and i thought it is to impersonal to share your thoughts to the whole world.  Not until a few weeks ago that by chance i got to read a food blog which totally inspires me to do the same….i’m a certified FOODIE! call it my passion, it totally describes the total me…yeah, i love to cook, read cookbooks…i collect gazillions of them and i can’t seem to get enough of it…i could go on and on about it..but first things first…*smile*

i’m dona, 28 yrs old..

i am a pharmacist by profession…but what i really really wanted to do is become a chef…well, that explains my passion for cooking. eversince i was a child i remember myself  being so engrossed in cooking shows and scanning through pages of cookbooks… do you have times when you asked yourself what is your purpose here? what difference can you make? i pray a lot and i always asked God to show me what am i here for…of course having a child, i can say that it’s one of my utmost purpose but still apart from that there is still that yearning for something…i believe God equipped us with a talent…growing up, i was neither a singer, dancer, painter or anything else for that matter.  i find myself asking what is my talent? i have never really realized that my passion for cooking is what my talent is…not until now.  sadly my parents thought otherwise. i have good parents though…i have the best dad there is but if there’s one thing they could not comprehend it is my wanting to go into culinary school.  they thought it is impractical! we already have an established business, they expect me to follow their footsteps, live in the world that they have created.  well, i tried for 6 years and counting…i did…and i failed big time!!! as much as i want to put my heart into it, i felt it just isn’t the right thing for me…*sigh*

on the lighter note, i occupy myself from the boredom of having to live in this place with blogging…food blogging…i am just amazed with the vast number and great food blogs…there are just so many of them and i never get tired of reading various recipes…yeah, yeah, yeah i’ve got to talk something else besides food…

well, in line with food blogging (there you go again, i mentioned food *grin*) i am occupied with the internet, information super highway~ i have never been a techie thing with computer stuff but now i’m finding myself learning and discovering things i have never been interested about.  in the past i  use the internet for reading emails or getting in touch with friends, ordering online and only for some specific infos i want to acquire.  but now it’s a whole new different level…

i am so into korean dramas…well, i haven’t watched for 2 weeks now…i was totally engrossed with food blogging *grin* but i collect a really lot of  korean dvds (hmm around 50..!) and music…i admit that watching kdrama  pave way to my interest in korean language and culture…i self-study korean language…i registered to this very good site koreanclass101 and i have gained a few korean friends on line who are kind enough to teach me from time to time.

the other thing that i love to do is dine out with friends…it’s our bonding thing aside from shopping *lol* and with the rapidly growing culinary arena here in cebu…the choices are just endless…check out my foodblog and get to see the restaurants that we go to.

i love to read…mystery, fiction, romance..you name it! i’ve got a vast number of book collection.  it has been a fave pastime since i was in elementary grade. i’d even stay up to 2am in the morning in reading a good book~once i’m hooked to the story…

and what else is there…ah…shopping…i used to splurged a lot..a real lot but not anymore (hopefully!)

i guess that would be all for now…it’s all me…dona
