Even after my addiction with finding the perfect carbonara (which, of course is courtesy of Ate T again and will be reserved for another post!), I will always come back to that <span style="line-height: 1.3em;">rich, red, chunky, and cheesy sauce perfectly enveloping al dente spaghetti noodles</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">... my gash, kaka-spaghetti ko lang kahapon and I&#39;m craving it again! Hehe!</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="line-height: 1.3em;">But I have high standards in eating spaghetti. As in snob ako. Harhar. For me, only Ate T&#39;s spaghetti makes my day. Ready-made sauces don&#39;t even make the cut for me. Kung wala talagang pang-spaghetti na ingredients sa bahay, a quick run to Jollibee for their spaghetti temporarily satisfies my spag craving. After eating, diretcho akong supermarket to buy ingredients so Ate can cook na for my next meal. Hihi! #spaghettiaddict</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Since i&#39;ve been raving about Ate&#39;s cooking (and you, my dear reader, are probably craving spaghetti already!), lemme share how she does this addicting spaghetti sauce that I&#39;ve been wolfing down for more than 3 decades (aaakkk!

It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians for using contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects such as the human body.[1] Similar effects in the lighting of cinema and photography are also often called chiaroscuro.* (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiaroscuro" target="_self" title="">source</a>)</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">I took these photos of my hands - nope, make that my nails, hehe - late last year, as it was my first time having matte nails and I planned on blogging about it then (but as you guys know, the blogging part was delayed.
