Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

My friend Josh brought me this afternoon a snack. Actually he brought me a “pancit canton” I describe it as s a stir-fried noodles mixed with tender vegetables and some meat (chicken or sea foods or beef). He teach me how to use a chopstick when I’m eating a pancit canton.wink! Several attempts makes me an expert to use a chopstick! Ha Ha! I did it with flying colors. You could at least try to learn it. You know it could be too fun when you learn how to use the chopsticks.
