Bleeding Love for Surprises.

It was one fine day unlike any other Valentine's Day I have had in the past few years. With fine I meant waking up to a full day ahead. First on my list was to cook my Caribbean Cuisine. 

Oh how I loved my menu! Here's what I made...

Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Caribbean Rice

See, here's one dirty secret I want to share. This is really not the photo of what I made. If I should explain; the moment I plated the entree everyone went rushing, unabling me to have a decent shot. So let's settle for a googled photo for now.

When people tasted the main dish, they were all very glad with the taste- amazed, even. They were amazed because the chicken did not really look anything but ordinary, it looked quite like a Roasted Chicken. But with one taste, they felt the tenderness and the tastiness of the chicken. What with marinating it for 24 hours? It sure has to be that good! The sad thing is, I lost my recipe.

Of course, being a sweet tooth that I am,  I wouldn't miss making the dessert. This one I made a day ahead so that the custard with set.

Key Lime Pie

Now here's me presenting the dessert to our School Directress.

It was quite a rush during the first half of my day. I quickly went to a job interview after I presented my dish. I went to the meeting with my classmate and good friend, Angel. We were offered a traineeship with Chef Giuseppe to help him with the reopening of Loft. They'll turn it into something like BGC's Seventh High, thus they need professionals like us.

Here's me and Angel after declining the vague offer, long story! We had lunch at Michelangelo where they served the best pizza I have tasted in Cebu.

Then came the dusk. I got all made up for our singles' night out. Oh I love my sister's La Salle Varsity jacket, it sends a more casual, consevative and sporty vibe. Chyeah!

Everything was anything but special that night, until Paul called me up saying he is already outside the club. 

Then the day just became a little more special.

Turns out, when you have least expected special treatment and just be truly happy with what you have it's when people go the extra mile.
