Last Night, while waiting for my dad to come home, I read one of my old issues of candy magazine particularly the July 2007 issue. So, I scan through the pages and ended up reading the article about Daniel Radcliffe and some related to "achieving your goals".


But I was inspired by the editor-in-chief's note about dreaming takes guts.


well let me recall and relate what I have read in the note:


I've been daydreaming ever since I was in grade school, it helps me to get out of the boring lessons and also to think about the possibilities of creating new ideas..


..sometimes I dream about love, sometimes doing something creative or skillful like cooking.


well, I never thought that a random choice of profession to be posted in the year book 5 years ago will be the chosen way of life that I'm walking right now.To be a cook or to be a Pastry Chef (which is my final decision of profession) took me 4 years to realize it. Sometimes, I think it is impossible to achieve it, why? because first of all, I don't know how to cook! So during my teenage years, I joined the culinary arts club and became exposed to different desserts like panna cotta. When I enrolled at my chosen school and course, many complaints came like "why did you choose that course? you'll just end up being a chamber maid and clean dirty toilet seats" wait, did I mention that I want to become a Pastry Chef? BSHM-HRM is my Pre-course to Pastry because I want to make sure if I am willing to be part of that field (being a pastry chef is not easy..).


I dream of baking pastries and making them until my course let me do what I really want, during the 2nd semester, we had Culinary arts and Baking subject and during those lectures and lab activities, I really learned a lot, though sometimes I ended up being helpless because of great expectations and pressure from the teachers, still I tried to give my best, but my best wasn't enough..


It happened during the last lab activity in culinary, I was assigned in making the dessert,I chose jelly because I'm conscious of the time allowance (2 hours and 30 mins). But during the grading, I was sad to know that efforts were never paid off, they said that my dessert is too simple to make, like a little kid could do it with both of his or her eyes closed.


... but then, I realized that why not start making simple desserts and put a twist on it? then do complicated ones? Everything has to start from basics especially the simple ones.


So now, I have plans in making desserts and hopefully I could make the desserts that you can see in the conventions.


I recall Mia's saying that "The doers get the job done, not the dreamers. But It doesn't seem like it but dreaming takes guts, think about it, if you do something to make your dream come true, you will succeed, Doers were dreamers too."



So aim high! and reach for your dreams, take baby steps and if you fall, learn from it, stand up and move on and don't forget the ones who helped you along the way. :D
