A taste of France

Paris has a lot to offer regarding food. Not just their own, but a taste of the world.





Looks familiar? Yup, had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Lots of them.















One night, we went to a Turkish restaurant. And ordered Royale couscous. With lamb, beef, chichek, and sausage (no pork). And wasn't able to finish it. Delicious and filling.







At the Christmas market in Strasbourg. He was preparing the nutella crepe I ate. Rich chocolate.








Khaki. Sounds weird for a fruit name. I am trying to remember its taste. Like a peach. With the same consistency yet harder. With a hint of guava and kiwi?




I've tasted hot tea, hot coffee, hot everything. But not hot wine. With honey and fruits, it is just right drink to make one feel warm in a windy and cold night.

I like the fact that sugar here in Europe can come in various shapes. One sugar please, for my tea.



Looks delicious. It's not quite the same cheese cake we know in the Philippines. The cloying sweet taste is missing.

that cheese cake makes me curious. There's a cheese cake that I used to order in Starbucks that isn't cloyingly sweet (or a least I think it isn't). I don't remember what it's called, though. The only problem when I have cheese cake, is that usually pay for it, being lactose intolerant and all (there's a possibility that that was too much information).

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.
