It's already the end of the first month of 2008!!!!!! How did that happen??? HOW???
Aiii....
Anyways, I made muffins today! From scratch! And they were a success!! Yayy!!
*HAPPY!!*
Plus, I got Andy's album today. And guess what.. It's pretty good!! Although I must say, he should stick to rapping. He honestly can't sing very well. But the whole album really exceeded my expectations! Impressed!!
See!!!
Being positive does bring good results!!!
MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

In the mood to bake
Maybe it's coz everyone around me is either baking or stocking up on cookies and cakes. Or it could be because I've had a long and tiring day at work today. But I came home and suddenly had the urge to bake banana muffins.
I don't have the ingredients needed yet though, need to drop by the store tomorrow. But I think I will definitely bake them tomorrow.
It's weird though. Why bake when you're tired out?
L reckons that baking is calming. It's got therapeutic qualities about it or something. Right.. I agree with a small portion of what she says. I personally don't think it's the entire process of baking itself (Hello, you slave for hours mixing left and right, measuring this and that and then you worry about making a mistake somewhere that would just ruin your efforts, you seriously think that's therapeutic?!?!). I think it's more the nice, homey scent of cookies/ cakes/ muffins wafting from the oven and taking over the entire house. It works better than potpourri, trust me. And the nice scent you breathe in just makes you feel happy and loved.
That I think, is the magic of baking.
Unless of course, the heavenly scent is replaced with the bitter smell of burning muffins. Then you just want to run out of your house and go in hiding for a week.
BUT!!!!
THAT won't happen to me!!!!
I'm a positive thinker!
My muffins are going to turn out great!!

Snacks
I've been snacking on cashews and aloe juice the whole night. Very very bad but also very very yummy!!!!! I can't help myself, I like all things yummy. Oh well!
Plus I've been watching old episodes of Manwon. It's seriously one of my fave progs around! The funniest things they do to buy their food for really cheap! Kim Dong Wan's eating in the supermarket has got to be the funniest! Haha! Shin Dong's candle samgyupsal is funny too and I must admit, I share the same sentiments as Lee Teuk. I wanted to try that out as well!! But I didn't because knowing me, I'd probably undercook the meat and get food poisoning or something.. But how does one survive on manwon for a whole week?? I tried calculating how much I spend on stuff and honestly, I can spend manwon a day. And that's when I am being really stingy with myself!!! How does one survive???
Aii.. I am feeling really lazy. Really, really lazy. I don't want to do anything but laze around and be bummish.
Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..................
Has anyone heard Andy's latest album? I wonder if it's any good. The First New Dream. I'm thinking of giving it a shot. But what if it's the first bad dream for me?? And the promise of many more nightmares to come??
Or should I give him the benefit of the doubt and just get it?
*SIGH*
Decisions, decisions.
I shall be positive and just get it.
Why?
Coz in life, it's always good to be positive. The cup's always half full remember?

Sushi
I have been craving sushi ever since we had it for dinner last night. Yes, yes I know. People are supposed to crave things BEFORE they eat it but I guess that isn't the way it works for me. I was perfectly fine till K suggested sushi for dinner. After eating many many many plates of sushi, we all barely managed to walk out of the restaurant before deciding to walk around to ease our stomachs a little. After a few hours, we all headed home for the night.
THAT'S when the trouble started...
I was surfing the net when I suddenly developed cravings for more sushi.
And I'm sitting here, typing this out with visions of sushi flying around in front of me.
Help me!!!!!!!!!
K! It's all your fault!!!!!!!!!!! Your fault!!!!!!!!!!! Your fault!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a social life after all!
Hahahaha!!
I'm going out for dinner with the girls!
I have a social life!!!!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!
P/S: Please refrain from reminding me that this post is a clear indication that I am severely lacking in the social life department. Ignorance is bliss. At least in matters like this.

I am terrible...
I haven't been blogging as often as I want to! So many things have happened that I want to record down here but I can never find the words to express what I want to say at that point in time. So I end up not writing about it at all.
Aii.. Terrible..
Anyways, in a nut shell, A's come back for good. We're thinking of expanding our horizons together in a not too far away place where most of our friends are! As of now, I am not too sure where I'm going to head to. There are possibilities everywhere and there's one that I really, really want. Pray with me that I'll get it!
R has been encouraging me to follow in her pursuit, one option that is very tempting as well...
I baked buns with J's mom and the gang! It was a lovely time spent together, fruitful as well as we had lots of really yummy buns to eat! Kamsahamnida Aunty I!!!
I have been experimenting in the kitchen again!! Yummy!
Anyways, I'm about to go out so I'll post again soon.
I hope.
Till next time!

Pizza
I had home made pizzas today!! J's mom baked a couple for us for our little party at my place today and it was really good! Just as good as I remember! J's mom used to send over pizzas to me when I was in high school whenever she made them for her family, and I always loved the smell of her freshly baked pizzas, still piping hot when she sends them to my house. No other pizza compares to Aunty I's. Seriously.
The taste of her pizzas brought me back to a time that I had forgotten. And with every bite I took, memories came flooding back to me. Good ones, bad ones, and most of all, happy ones.
Thank you Aunty I. For everything that you have done for me and given to me.
Saranghae!!

That thing you do
I don't know why but I've been really lazy to blog lately. Could be because there really hasn't been much going on lately, mostly just work, chores, and whatever else that I have to do.
Aiii...
But I had a holiday today which was great! And I experimented in the kitchen, made curry! Muahahaha! Not too bad for someone who rarely attempts this sort of dishes! Met up with J and R for dinner and a round of snacking at McDonalds (we're pigs, that's what we are!) and then headed back home. Made plans to go shopping tomorrow at the new shopping mall. I just hope that it'll be less congested than what it was like today although I'm pretty sure that parking's going to be a major headache.
Aiii...
Anyways, I dug out "That Thing You Do" from my stash of DVDs. I've always loved this movie, mostly due to the percussion (I just love drums) and all the songs featured in the movie. I remember I was in junior high when this movie came out and I was really obsessed with it! I had the album, the movie, practically everything that I could land my hands on. And after so many years, I still love this movie. I never get tired of watching it, and it really brings me down memory lane. I remember practicing to the same drum sets as Guy Patterson, and picking up his drumstick twirling habit. Haha, I was such a dork for "That Thing You Do"!
I've finished watching the movie and I'm still bored. Have to sleep in a while, long day ahead tomorrow.
But I don't feel like sleeping yet!!
Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updates
Ahh, it's been ages since I last posted. Been rather busy lately, had some family come over for a visit as well. I can finally just sit back and relax today before having to brave the storms again tomorrow!
Updates list (coz I'm too lazy to write it out in full!!)
1. Cut my hair (it's shorter now! And I walked out looking like a typhoon hit my head, the guy has a weird sense of style...)
2. Bought more masks (my resolution!!!)
3. Hung out with the girls
4. Had a karaoke session (I can't talk now, my throat's so raw...)
5. Entertained family (tiring, tiring, tiring!!!)
That's about it for now. Going to try out a new recipe for dinner so here's to hoping that I don't burn myself again!
Tata!

1.1.08
I burnt my finger while making garlic toast. Aiii... I guess the klutziness just doesn't disappear with the start of a new year.. Aiii...
How was the start of the year for everyone? The girls and I tried to spend the day just trying to relax and do stuff that we didn't manage to do on the 31st, but unfortunately we ended up doing lots of things that we didn't plan to do, haha! We did give R her b-day gift (she turns another year older tomorrow, hahaha!!!) and we did spend time together before going back to work tomorrow. Aiii... I wanna just relax in bed and do nothing for a while. It's been a really tiring week and I haven't rested enough!!!!!!
Holidays!!! Where art thou??
But we should always start the new year raring to go right? So I shall psyche myself a little bit more and try to be optimistic about going back to work.
Urgh.. I don't think it's working..
At least I get to teng-teng a lot at work, which isn't too bad. Hehehe!!!
