2011, A year that was for Filipino Food or wasn’t Part 2
So what else did I do before myfilipinokitchen jumped to its premature death around the middle of 2011?
I talked about sex.
Press play father.
It all started with the question, “Do Aphrodisiacs in the Philippines really work?” And then thoughts about procreation erected from there. Apart from everyone’s knowing, I even wrote to Doctor Holmes (A Filipino sexpert) to answer this for us but to no avail she’s busy helping couples who have problems while on a washing machine.
After that, it built up the discussion to Filipino Street Foods (as many consider innards to be aphrodisiacs) which included intestines, liver, heart and most organs that end up in a stick. If you are not a believer, I suggest you go through with them and see how it boosts your elements. Elements? What in the world do elements even mean? Is this an infomercial of some sort?
And then the discussion halted to an abrupt end when the genius in me jumped to the topic of Filipino Celebrations where I suggested dishes for big occasions to which the article culminated to people bashing the daylights out of me because I left out Lumpia to where I promised on the grave of my dead husband-and-wife Hamsters, Schlamoo and Baxter that I will make a series about Lumpia. So I got excited. This is Lumpia. This is the quintessential Filipino party food. It took me 3 months to research how Lumpia came about – its beginnings, variation, international reputation and kung-fu origins. So from June to October, I stopped writing to prepare for a masterpiece… that didn’t came about.
Double Facepalm.
Can somebody stop that offensive music and all that talk about sex please?
Because of the obsession to make the perfect Lumpia series that I stopped writing. I don’t want to go into details but because there were no regular articles from the helm, writers stopped writing. It didn’t only affect this site, it affected all my writing gigs. Seriously, I can’t figure out why it shattered everything that I was doing.
Weird man.
I need to know what happened that’s why I’m writing back. To see where all those lost articles went to, catch them one by one and post them here.
I’m back to zero this 2012. Back to zero in a year when the world is supposed to end.
