Cupcakes for Noynoy
(PNoy cupcakes)
I was coaching two padawans (that sounds very Star wars; it means apprentice/student) last weekend on how to make cupcakes. We baked devil’s cupcakes and whipped butter frosting. Just because it is yellow, we decided to call it cupcakes for Noynoy.
[They experimented on the icing forms. To bake (and to eat together) is one of the fun ways to spend quality time.]
It is interesting how we tend to associate almost anything yellow to some of the Aquinos. In my most recent vacation, I noticed Ninoy Aquino mobile phones being sold inside the malls, amongst other special edition stuff. I am imagining right now the color, figuratively and literally, of the inauguration. As I am writing this, I am watching the local news providing a preview to the menu and other preparations for tomorrow. I am wishing that I can be home all day to watch the live coverage of his oath-taking.
Starting 30th of June, a lot of things is going to change. A number of officials are re-embracing their privacy, but not for our outgoing president GMA. I used to like a her a lot for being so smart. Apparently, being smart is both a strength and a weakness. Although I did not vote for Noynoy, I am trying to keep an open mind. Someone can be likeable enough in the end. What one does is going to ultimately speak for a person. So, let us all work hard for the big change. He can not do it alone.
Updated (30th June 2010): Here is the video of the inaugural speech of President Benigno Aquino III, the 15th president of the Republic of the Philippines:

cupcakes are a favorite.
i’m hoping for GOOD change.
great idea. mabenta to. i even think of making an art for him. We have our own opinion, we have our own rights. And I like the way you say it in the last paragraph. Corruption lang naman talaga ang ugat.
Oh i forgot to add, ganda ng header natin ah. simple pero elegante ang dating. i can imagine yung personality base sa photo
kulang na lang ang face ni P-NOY sa cupcakes
wits, dalhin mo yan sa street party for noynoy! he he!
i am now watching his inauguration on TV. it’s 9:30 in the morning and the program hasn’t started, pero andami dami nang tao. umuulan-ulan pa. it feels more like a concert with all the movie actors and actresses. hahaha
I loove this jo!
& yes, you’re right, being smart can be a weakness too, just like Noy’s sis, Kris hehe.
i love those cup cakes. it is the best thing to do, to work hand in hand for a better tomorrow.
wow! cucpcakes for noynoy. his speech was good and we’re hoping that more people will support him in his or should be our fight against corruption.
buti nalang afternoon pa work ko and i was able to watch the coverage at home. his speech is brilliant. wonders now who helped him in writing hehe. new admin. new system. let’s hope for CHANGE.
wow, you’re really tempting me to grab a bite of cupcakes! your posts are almost cupcake after cupcakes! ang saya!
cheers to your deliciously looking cupcakes and to the new Philippine administation!
Can I have some? hehehe! I do hope the changes we’re counting on with Ninoy’s new administration will be as good as your yummy-looking cupcakes.
too many big words, too many references to his parents. i may not agree with some of his ideas but i share his hope for a better Philippines. oddly enough, i feel really lighter today — as if everything is going to be alright.
perhaps i should eat something yellow din today. hehehe…
LOL din at “padawan”. i love that word. and i didn’t need the preceding statement to tell me what it was! nerd alert!
ahaha…
Those cupcakes look good. I wish I can grab one right now.
I also didn’t vote for Noynoy but I wish him the best. I hope he’ll be a great leader for our country.
uhmm, yummy cupcakes. penge! hehehe
