8/12/2004: The kare-kare was a success...

But that’s just kare-kare. Cooking for me had always been easy. How I wish other things in life could be perfected as easily. Or require less skill. Like finding love, and keeping it. Or losing it, but knowing how to say goodbye, or to move on. Or to forget. Pablo Neruda, an old friend, knew this when he said, "Love is so short. Forgetting is so long."
