Hi my name is Michi and I'm from Manila, Philippines and this is the first time I've actually created a Food Blog. I'm pretty nervous about this since I've never been the type to actually "blog" about anything. The closes thing I have to a blog is my Twitter account, which I primarily use to talk and read updates about friends.

Never actually thought of making a food blog ever in my life since I took up Fashion Design and Merchandising in college. I've always thought I would be a fashion designer, but I was never really that happy in that field, it kind of seem just more of a hobby and I turned to cooking to destress and I just fell in love with it. I constantly find myself looking for new recipes to try every single day, going at the Cookery Sections in bookstores, surfing the internet for great new restaurants to try and reading food blogs from all over the world. Sometimes I would even find myself going home after a night out, turning my laptop on ad looking for recipes I can cook the next morning. Shamelessly, I research more about food than I did with fashion.

My love for food started when I was really young, probably because my mom loves to cook. She loves having people over and preparing feasts for them. The school I went to in Elementary and High School also helped me develop a great love for food. It had and still does I think, the longest canteen in asia, and everyday I would find myelf going back to my classroom after lunch feeling full and satisfied.

And of course I am always surrounded with foodies and we love sharing recipes and cooking together. So here I am, trying to start out my very own food blog just because I can't stop talking about food! Seriously...if I can marry food...we'd have a dozen kids by now.=)
