Food is Beautiful
When I was 10 years old I weighed 50kg. Imagine growing up with that. And my cousins who were about 4 years older than me were the lithest and sveltest teenager i ever laid my eyes on.
Needless to say it was painful growing up beside them.
And my love-hate relationship with food ensued.
And clothes. And photographs. Understandably so, for who would want to capture themselves when they look like a plump teapot standing amidst flute champagne glasses.
Thankfully when I hit puberty changes kicked in and with determination on my part I eventually shed my excess weight. I was able to sail through 45 - 47 kg until I graduated college.
But it wasn't easy and up till now it isn't. Bombarded with food everywhere, everyday, how can one resist its beauty. You see, I find food beautiful. Pretty. As much as they look gratifying I almost always find them delectable.
From time to time, I would venture on the world of dieting. But mind you i would be very proud if I can last more than three days. A feat I have yet to achieve. For I will always say "YES" than the obligatory dieting "NO".
I am also adventurous when it comes to food. I am guaranteed to order the least familiar to me when trying out a new place. It sometimes gives me a disaster but for most part its a success.
I love cookbooks. Even beside my desire to actually learn to make some of them one day, is the indulgence I get every time I scan the pages and look at its page after page after page of delicious looking foods.
Cooking shows are also my guilty pleasure. Not that I know how to cook, BUT, I am now in the process of collecting recipes. Somehow someday I'll be able to try making them.
Colors needs to work with and complement each other to create a pretty picture. Or painting. Just like ingredients.

Deep inside of me I harbour this fantasy of owning my bakery/restaurant/cafe or whatever as long as it about food, which i guard fiercely.
For in this fantasy I get to create these beautiful masterpieces of food which always, Always, comes out beautiful and perfect.
