A new passion for me now is wine...I'm still learning and I do admit that I am still confused with the terms of wine specialists...the nose, bite, flavor etc. Some are unbelievably expensive while on the other hand some are just too cheap for comfort. This is why I guess I wanted to learn how to appreciate and differentiate all these bottles. The same way I started learning to cook and appreciate each dish, wine tasting has enlightened me to appreciate each bottle. The beauty of wine I suppose is that from a simple fruit, we transform it into something more precious. Just like chefs who use different techniques and ingredients to make the best dish, wine makers do the same thing for their grapes. And this has been a tradition for many families and each grape represent as well the history of the family who makes the wine. Well I'm learning through self-study...reading online articles, joining wine conferences and of course by having a glass of wine more often in the com...

Savitri's Love - From The Maha-Bharata ( Originally Published 1939 ) Now, there was a king in India, whose name was Aswapati (As-wa-pah-tee), and his people loved him, for he gave help to all in need, and he served the shining gods in prayer and sacrifice.

I used to enjoy daydreaming. I would spend time thinking about the places I could go to and how my career could grow. Its just amusing that I recall never imagining myself having my very own family. Now, I am just overwhelmed by my love for my son Diego and my husband Jamie. They are my inspiration and source of joy. Sometimes I am guilty of taking this part of life for granted. I would leave Diego with his yaya or just let Jamie play his xbox. I know that they can live a life of their own but now that I am reflecting on how much they are a part of me, I realize that I allow myself to drift apart from them. Loving Diego is seeing my son's bright eyes and sweet smiles. He could laugh the loudest in his little gym class. Diego's cute litte feet can keep us running around the gym or in our condo grounds. I Love how his little hands can touch my face sweetly or jolt me with one of his slaps. When I'm breastfeeding him, he would just feed confidently, claiming his p...
