[Day 1] Let me be strong. I know everyone faces rejections once in their life, mine is just a minute of what they experienced. I have to fight rejections with happiness, self-contentment, and faith in YOU. Let me pass this test with a clean and brave heart, without any sense of hatred, guilt and regrets. I believe in your power to touch everyone’s soul, you are always welcome to touch mine. All the glories are yours. Good day.

[Day 2] I am happy because you made me strong. I know you touch my life yesterday the way you touch others almost everyday. I became strong to settle things, I realized I’m anew again. In times of self-discrimination and frustration, you made me discover of my potential. I am fortunate you used other’s soul to remind me to “control the situation and not the situation controls me.” I ask you this favor again, let me realize my worth, my goals, my innermost desire – YOUR Plans. All the glories are yours. Good day.

[Day 3] How fortunate am I? I am broke and helpless and all of a sudden you lifted me. You made me realized that faith is more than anything else. Many times in my life where I intend to give up, but in all those times you were there to relive me. At least you showed signs of your glory, grace, and utmost love. I know you also touched the lives of my loved ones today, and I am very thankful for that. Indeed, I am very fortunate to have a friend in you. All the glories are yours. Good day.

[ROUNDS 1&2] Celery ang nagpapasarap sa sopas. pero syempre mas masarap kung kumpleto ang sangkap, may langhap-sarap ng sariwang manok hindi ‘yung galing sa knorr cubes. ‘wag ring kalimutan ang gatas, kung may access ka sa gatas ng kalabaw mas mabuti.

[ROUNDS 3&4] iwasang manood ng tv kung nagpapalambot ng macaroni shell. malamang mag-enjoy ka at makalimutan mo ‘yung niluluto. hindi kasi masarap kung overcooked, masyadong malambot, nawawala ‘yung tamang hagod sa ngipin. ang dapat gawin ay magmasid, bantayang mabuti, at tikman kada minuto. kaya kung 30 minutes na palalambutin ‘yung shell, asahang 30 shells rin ang mababawas bago makuha ang tamang luto.

[ROUNDS 5&6] dapat attentive ka sa pagluluto, aware ka sa timpla ng apoy, handa na lahat ng rekado. huwag ring magmamadali, cool lang. kalimutan na 2p.m. na at hindi pa kayo kumakain ng lunch. eh ano kung nakasimangot na sila. huwag mag-aalala kasi walang pangit na pagkain sa gutom na sikmura.

[ROUNDS 7&8] kakambal ng sopas ang malambot na tinapay. walang problema kung walang palaman dahil kulang ang budget. ang mahalaga bawat subo ng sopas ay may katumbas na kagat sa isang piraso ng tinapay. tandaan na mahalaga ang koordinasyon ng dalawang kamay at sampung mga daliri upang ma-achieve ang full satisfaction ng sopas. focus lang at masasanay ka na sa subo, nguya, higop, nguya na routine. ganon lang kasimple, pero masarap. at certified na sobrang sarap kung magsusubuan kayo, ganon pa rin ang routine (subo, nguya,higop, nguya). binudburan lang ng konting secret "lambing" ingredient.

[ROUNDS 9&10] kung mainit ang sopas, ihanda ang malamig na tubig. ‘di na uso ngayon ang juice kasi kulang nga ang budget. at kung minamalas ka at mapaso, eh ano naman. may parusa daw ang sobrang matakaw pero at least busog naman ang tiyan.

[TKO] alam naman natin na higit sa lahat, mahalaga ang tiyan. ‘di ba "the shortest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’? at sabi nga ng mga boxing analyst, na-TKO raw si morales kasi ‘yung bodega at tiyan ang inatake ni pacquaio.
