WELL, it is the end. Hello, dear bloggers around the world, this is the beginning of the end, literally. So I've got a couple of things to tell you, like how ecstatic I am about moving into my dorm in just a couple of days, how thrilled I am to complete the supposed "internship, how life is evolving through the right direction. There's grand felicity in my life during this moment. I'm so relieved that my mother has shown an impressive recovery after her surgery, and I'm nonchalant about the terms that my parents have reached during the past weeks. My sole hope is that this isn't a fleeting thing. We're still unaware of where will our routes take us. Will my father have the cojones to finally leave this life?

Grandma is smiling as she's in the kitchen, washing dishes, wearing a posh dress, delicate earrings, her stockings fold to her heels, and she's wearing heels. She is the epitome of hard work, of strong, independent women who can do it all. Having lost her husband when she still had eight children to raise, my grandmother, Maria Resfa, was able to have her own business, raise her children with the best opportunities, deal with their crap, and provide them with an education.

In that pan, which should be over medium heat, add all what you've chopped, then adhere soy sauce and ketchup and mix all that for ten minutes. Before beginning all these preparations, shred a potato and leave it soaking in water for an hour, this is the only way the chips will fry. After draining the shred potato from the water, you may fry them. And that's when we're ready to serve. First place the rice on the bottom of the plate, secondly, on top of the rice, put the mixture of vegetables and the ham, and above, at the summit, add the potato chips, but I guess you already knew the potato chips were placed on top
