I love food.
No, love is actually an understatement. Food gives me euphoria. And I know that's exaggerating my fondness for food, but really, food is just one of the things I completely worship. Its existence is more than just for my sustenance, but also for my past-time purposes. (Not that I eat every time I'm bored. Okay. Maybe I do.) I consider food as my past-time because I completely enjoy making food. I experiment in the kitchen for most of my free time because there's something about eating what I made that brings me bliss, especially if other people eat what I concocted! I love creating new recipes. Most of the time, I discover new recipes by mistake (like I was following an existing recipe and I forgot an ingredient or threw in an unnecessary ingredient). But sometimes, those mistakes do not result into something edible. Still, it doesn't bring me down. I still experiment when I have the time and my schedule permits.
This love for eating and cooking is the reason why one of my biggest dreams in life is to create my own restaurant. Well, not really a full-blast restaurant, but more of a cute cafe where people can relax and hang. I'm a fan of desserts and pastries because, not only are they easier to create compared to other heavy meals, but they're also very fun to make! You can manipulate the look of these goodies with colorful icings, decorations and the like. It joins two of my loves: love for designing and love for food. And it's not bad to cater to your sweet tooth every now and then. That is why if ever I had the chance to open up my own food place, I'd offer desserts and pastries along with gourmet sandwiches, coffee, tea and fruit juices! The ultimate dream cafe for me! And I'm planning to name it The Tangerine Cafe!
I don't know why actually. It just sounds nice. I actually suggested it for my sister's old pseudo-pastry business. After I thought of it, the name stuck.

Of course I might tweak the design if ever I
actually push through with this cafe. But for the past few days, I've been badgering my mom about putting up a small business when I graduate. I want it to be a cafe but she wants me to go for franchising an existing business. I'm trying to build the menu and the proposal for the business so I can present it to her. Haha. I'll get back on that soon and maybe post some ideas here.
I hope in the future, this name would materialize.
That's it. :)
