Fire is the heat and light energy released during a chemical reaction (in particular, a combustion reaction). Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire’s intensity might vary. Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration, and has the potential to cause physical damage through burning.

Im really glad that fire was discovered in the past.. Imagine life without fire.. Well, worse is to experience life without fire… Well, I did…

Last week, we were not able to cook anything because of our stove.. Though our stove is electric, thus not use fire, lack of capability to cook due to the stove made my week a very magastos week.. Of course, I eat three times a day, and honestly speaking, foods here are not that cheap… The most expensive is the lunch.. Usually, if I wanted to eat rice, then there is a shop at the front of our office.. Its not that expensive, but compared to cooking, it costs more.. Theres a variety of food you can choose there..

After entering, you will see a Vending Machine where the foods are drawn and the names are written.. It costs around 500 yen to 1000++ yen.. And set meals are from 700 yen.. Usually, I order the katsudon with udon (noodles) which cost round 800 yen..

Another hot spot for lunch is Mc Donalds.. Honestly speaking, its one of the famous American fast food chain here… But its very different from the Philippines.. They just sell burgers, fries, and nuggets in their menu… Then theres the ice creams, flurry, etc… So whats the difference??? The chicken with rice or nuggets with rice, and spaghetti with chicken… Hmm, those were my main orders in those kind of fast food chains…

Last wednesday night, I went to the supermarket to buy some bread for my breakfast, bananas, and while walking around I saw this Sushi.. In Japan, when night comes, all the perishable foods are discounted every hour.. So originally, the sushi set costs 600 yen.. then after the discount, it became 420 yen.. If I wait even more, it may become 250 yen or lesser.. But the chances of me buying it are low because that set was the last sushi set and I dont have enough time to idle myself and wait for it to have more discount.. Someone may take it at that price.. So I just took it… Here is a picture of it:

Hope you dont notice that theres one sushi missing… ehehe.. Then just half of it made my stomach full.. It was very delicious.. Makes me want to buy one right now.. ehehe.. But wait, there will be more discount later.. >:)

Luckily, our hell-week came to an end, because last thursday I was able to fix the stove.. Theres a button that was needed to be pressed to reset the counter.. And now, we can cook again… So the first thing that came to my mind was to cook Carbonara , with the recipe that my friend gave me.. Unluckily, I didnt have the needed ingredients, and what I had was for a simple pasta.. So I was not able to cook it.. I really wanted to cook it because my friend showed this to me:

It looks very delicious.. After my friend showed this to me, i asked him if it was really him who did this.. ehehe.. And he said that I was only jealous thats why I asked him that.. ehehe.. Well, as for me, I was not jealous,, but his picture looks fake… peace..

Then I was asking him how to cook it, but he does not reply… Well, ill try to cook my own Carbonara someday.. So because I didnt have the ingredients for it, I only made my simple but very delicious Pasta.. That was my dinner last friday night, also my lunch the next day..

So Im happy right now because I will not spend more on my foods.. Goodluck on my cooking..
