Drowning self in recipes.

So. The holidays has just begun and I am already feeling very bored to my bones. =( So, what better opportunity than to look up for recipes and practicing my baking skills. 

Stumbled upon these three blogs, food blogs to be more specific.
1. http://smittenkitchen.com/
2. http://simplysogood.blogspot.com
3.http://cookingclassy.blogspot.com/

Made Apple Crumble today. So far, I have to say, I really admire those who take the effort to take a picture of each step of the process of making/baking something. Hats off to you guys. I have yet to learn that art of patience. So far, I only manage to take pictures of the stuff after they are done.

Modern oven, the TURBO OVEN.



The little bowl of sauce is actually apple sauce. =) Very sweet and tasted delicious.
Without any further due, let the pictures talk.


Next up, Bak chang?

Wounded

WOUNDED

Wounded heart, 
Just a start,
Disappointment stirs,
Not the first.

Ready aim fire,
Not a liar,
Judge me not,
Starting to rot.

Painless flees,
Like a thousand seas,
Growing more,
Rips through the floor.
 
Look through the glass,
Marble-stained glass,
This is not the last,
Of the past.

Wounded soul,
Growing old,
Holding on to yesteryear,
Eyes brimming with tears.

Meaning of life,
Why strive,
For pride goes by,
A whispering lie.

Stone cold,
Now bold,
Existence sold,
For gold.

Fat and Thin, who are you to judge?

This is has been around for as long as anyone can remember. I am so fed up with people and with society itself that insist that being stick thin is perfect. A little meat on the bones DOES NOT constitute that you are fat. Such overbearing and ridiculous people. Hello, there is a difference between OVERWEIGHT and chubby and just the right size. Saw a comment on youtube about Kellly Clarkson being VERY OVERWEIGHT.

Society and their bull.


Honestly, do you think she is VERY OVERWEIGHT? Sorry, I had to emphasize on that as that comment really pissed me off.

Remember how people use to think women were beautiful, WITH CURVES? Look at most of the olden paintings, REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES.

Missing again.

Short post.

4,000 words. One week. Go figure.

A little short fused at the moment but you are not helping either. Yes you.

PR 2 = crappiest essay I have to write. What sense? No, it's nonsense to be exact and yes, I am conversing with myself. Scared? See little red box with X marked on it, well, CLICK IT!




This fella below is the lead singer for Neon Trees.


THIS fella on the other hand, is famous movie star Jim Carrey. See where I'm heading?

They look SO ALIKE! Sorry, I could not get a better picture of Tyler Glenn(lead singer of Neon Trees) but try watching their video here. Go on, say that I am wrong, but watch the video first. First First FIRST!

I need STRENGTH.

I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time. Ecclesiastes 9:11

Trials and tribulations, part and parcel of life. God, grant me strength to carry on.  Can't do this on my own. Feelings of jealousy, envy, misery, anger, injustice... need to stop. Point. You asked why? I wonder why. Seems unfair? Me too. Problems? Who knows. Tired? Maybe. Fed up? Keep going. Give up? Never.
