Passion For Cooking ^_^

I never got the chance to study in a culinary school, but my passion is cooking. When i was a kid i remember i've always asked my yaya if i could do the cooking, and when my mom went home she found me standing next to our "kalan" cooking monggo dish for our dinner, and she was shock then.
I'm a food lover, and i know non of us don't like to eat, isn't it? So i would like to show you my passion, which is COOKING. Yes, i do cook weather it's for my family or by request, just tell me and it'll be served with love :)

PORK ESTOFADO

I learned this recipe through my father in law, he was really good in cooking. And every time there will be a grand occasion at their barrio my father in law was the in charge for their food. Then there's this a time when my husband ask me to cook estofado, and i was ah? I don't have any idea how to cook it and I don't even know how taste lol... So i texted her sister to ask tatay on how to cook it, then afterwards when my husband's best friend came from abroad i made this estofado and it turned outwell. It really taste what they've wanted to be. Good job for me., and right there and then, my relatives "always" ask me to cook it whenever there's occasion in our family, it has been my specialty menu.

SPAGHETTI

Hmmm...does it looks yummy? Well taste it and you will surely love it! This i my favorite dish of all, I'm not into spaghetti but i love cooking it. I don't know why maybe i love eating carbonara rather than red sauce pasta. Funny thing i remember, the first i cooked spaghetti for my in laws it turned out into "sour" type of spaghetti, yes it's so maasim. hahaha, i was so ashamed, 'cause they didn't finished their eating. So my in law told me, hey, whenever you cook spaghetti don't put ketchup instead put condensed milk, and when i cooked it again, wow! i heard a lot of praises that my spghetti was the best. ^_^

PORK STRIP & CHICKEN LOLLIPOP w/ SOUR CREAM DIP

I've seen this dish in one of my favorite cooking show, but i never taste of this ever, so when my daughter had her party, i cooked this and i just made a sour cream dip.

SWEET 'N SOUR FISH

 This is my mom's favorite dish, she have always asked me to cook this for her even in just an ordinary day. She just love the taste of it and believe me 1 fish is not enough to fill her stomach if this is the food.
So, that's all for now, stay tuned for another page of my passion, have lot of it to offer. ^_^


Happy Cooking!!!

Asiansation Christian Bautista Makes Drastic Changes; New and Bolder Sounds for Outbound under Universal Records

CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA starred in his first international film A Special Symphony. He is part of the first Pan-Asian musical TV series The Kitchen Musical. He is also the only recording artist to receive a 4x Platinum Record Award for Romance Revisited: The Love Songs Of Jose Mari Chan for 2011. He worked with Grammy-nominated pianist Jim Brickman, K-Pop R&B trio One Way, and fronted for the concerts of K-Pop sensations Rain and 2NE1. He also topbilled jampacked concerts here and abroad. He also has numerous endorsements tucked under his belt coupled with billboards all over the Metro and has consistently won numerous awards and citations.
With all these career highlights, Christian Bautista remains humble expressing and thankful for all these blessings.
“Ever since I took the very first steps in my career, I cherished all the lessons and experiences I’ve gained through all those years- the ups and downs, the highlights and the difficult moments. These helped me hone my craft and led me to doors of opportunities. Every recognition that goes my way, favorable or critical comments on my work challenge me to do better because I owe it to my audience that I utilize my full potential,” says Christian with a smile.
It is a dream of many artists and performers to collaborate with some of the most respected people in the international recording scene. But the chance of it happening is pretty slim.
That is unless you are Christian Bautista.

Christian Bautista

Today, Asiansation Christian Bautista adds another feather to his cap as he launches his first international album Outbound.
Outbound features Christian’s collaboration with music producers and artists he met and worked with from the United States, Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Indonesia.
“It’s the first time that we want to try and attempt to do more outside the country. [And] Yes, I’m very proud of this album,” says Christian, smiling.
The album consists of eight songs which is a good mix of slow and upbeat ballads. The first single All That’s Left offers Christian’s new, bolder sound, and further proves that he is more than just a balladeer.
“Slowly nag-build up kasi ‘yan because of The Kitchen Musical. Parang nabigyan ako ng confidence to try something na kakaiba, na mas current na contemporary. So I told myself, sige let’s try this,” says Christian.
“But that doesn’t mean that I’ll turn my back on my ballads.”
While taping for The Kitchen Musical, Christian never stopped to get in touch with some of the region’s movers in the music industry until he met Tat Tong, composer of the anthemic All That’s Left.
In a phone interview, Christian shares, “Tat Tong kasi is a friend of Kewei [Tay]. Kewei and I did a duet for Please Be Careful With My Heart in Singapore. She later on, introduced me to Tat. And then through e-mail, I asked him: ‘Hey! I’m coming up with a new album. Do you have songs?’ So he gave us one [and] we all liked it. After that, we told him na, ‘Okay, make three more! Haha. [And] With Tat Tong kasi, steady lang kami e. We would throw ideas and stuff. And if it doesn’t work out, we would always tell na okay let’s do the thing tomorrow. We write and write and we never stop…”
And write they did. The remarkable results were All That’s Left and the other song Unphotographable.
Tat’s other masterpieces-original songs in Outbound include What Can I Do and his masterful arrangement on Christian’s cover of George Michael’s Faith, which is very special for Christian because it was used in his first big solo number in The Kitchen Musical.
Aside from Christian’s collaborations with Tat, Outbound gathers its noteworthy works with Grammy-nominated multi-platinum instrumentalist Jim Brickman for Never Far Away, the K-Pop R&B trio One Way for Wrong Number, Indonesian songwriter Satrio for the hit song I’m Already King, and with Avex Japan’s amazing Baby M for the lovely duet Sakura.
Christian’s music videos always feature familiar and beautiful female celebrities: from Anne Curtis, Georgina Wilson, Solenn Heusaff, and Angel Locsin (in Beautiful Girl) to Cristine Reyes (in I Remember The Girl) to Paula Taylor (in Tell Me Your Name) to Carmen Soo (in Afraid for Love to Fade) to Angelica Panganiban (in Nakaraang Pasko) to Sarah Geronimo (in Please Be Careful With My Heart).


In All That’s Left, it features CosPlay Queen Alodia Gosiengfiao. When asked what’s like working with her, Christian says, “Alodia’s beautiful, she’s talented, she stayed up with us [from] 8 PM to 8 AM. We danced all night long until 3 AM. It was fun.”
And while it’s apparent that Outbound has drawn him out of his comfort zone, Christian admits that it does not mean he will stop being a balladeer.
“For this album talaga kasi medyo half-half. Half experimental, half-medyo ballad pa rin naman siya. [And] Easy listening pa rin naman. Pero definitely I’m not going to drop the ballads,” he says, smiling. “Kasi siyempre, nagsimula ako sa ballads and du’n naman talaga ako kumportable. So hindi ko p’wedeng iwanan talaga ‘yun.”


As a performer, Christian believes he’s improved, but he’s not reached his peak. “Honestly, I do feel that I’m at my best so far. [But] I just hope I’m not at my best.”
He adds, “[And] As I continue this journey, I have reached another turn on the road ahead. This is the right time to pursue new paths and directions. And there is no better way to begin this new and exciting phase than to share my latest work with you. With your support and a personal sense of renewed energy and devotion, I am ready to face the challenge of the future.”
Outbound is out now in all major record bars nationwide under Universal Records.
