Foodtography 001 :: cupcake frosting



It was late at night when I decided to play around the kitchen for some frosting experiment. Limited with the supplies I have, I was still able to make the frosting that I want! :D (I haven't practiced decorating yet, so please bear with it.haha!)

Hey, Daydreamer!


We all dream of a grand wedding since we believe it's a once in a lifetime moment. It surely is. But if there's one thing I fantasized much about is the gown that I'm going to wear in the near future. ^___^
I've always imagined myself in a princessy wedding gown, a ball gown to be exact, with some soft and light bottom, a heart-shaped tube-top silhouetted with a sabrina neckline lace cloth.. A combination of the photos above.
Alongside the towering cake, beautiful entourage, & a sumptuous buffet, a beautiful wedding gown is  my often daydream..=)


Pre-Nup.Themes. 
I want a church wedding over a garden/beach wedding. Either could be wonderful, but I'm saving the outdoors for the photoshoot. =)
I think I would love a vintage-50s-inspired photoshoot, but not limited to sepia-toned output.
Something I cannot put into the wedding rites itself would be drawn into it. LOVE & FUN. That's it. I just fancy having my/our own photoshoot. :D 


How about you, what do you fancy? =")

How to deal with Stress

I don't have to explain anything about the title since it tells all. 
Now can you feel it? I'm putting it on you.lol



We all deal with stress differently, and I have here a list that might be of good help for you.
This isn't a pressure list, or a task, or a contest. These are, for me, some self-help tips ;)



Take a nap
Eat ice cream
Chew a gum

Paint a rainbow
Plug-in your earphones
Have some warm chocolate

Disclamer: This list doesn't hinder you from creating or doing your own stress defense techniques. This is my own personal list. Unless stated otherwise. =P

Mango Coolers

It's the mango season so better to take advantage while it's cheaper :D
So last week I decided to make some coolers (ice candy as what we usually call it) for me and my family..

Here are what you'll need:
1. 1 whole mango (or more if your prefer)
2. 1 can regular sized condensed milk
3. Ice candy plastic, about 1 inch thick

How to do:
The Bits:
1. Cut the mango and scrape it using a melon scraper
2. Take a portion, 1/4 perhaps, and mash it using a spoon


3. Part the remaining 3/4 scrape mango and put it into the ice candy bags evenly using a fork



The juice:
1. In a bowl/pitcher, mix 3/4 of the condensed milk and 1/2 cup water
2. mix continuously until bubbles appear
3. Add the mashed mango
3. Add 2 tbsp. sugar and continue stirring



- Using a funnel/a pitcher with narrow end, pour the juice into each ice candy bag
- Do not fill the whole plastic, leave some two inches for twisting.
VOILA!! Bon Appetit1 :)

Facebook photo viewer ft. my latest 143 entry.

Facebook has been very aggressive ever since you know when. *insert smug face here*.
If I'm not mistaken, FB Timeline came to public functionality, or test-run period as how I perceive it, on 2011.
As a youngster who loves to try-out somthing new, *ftw!* I searched (okay, I Googled) how to install the said FB theme. Voila! the same hour I had mine working! :) I was half happy and half-blank after seeing it.
It was WAY different than the previous layout. After some time, I deleted the app (Timeline) that I installed and decided to use the older version.

December when I noticed that my timeline re-installed itself without me having to do it. (has FB gone mad?!?)
I found it weird and then Googled again on what I might have missed during the deletion.
*FB, Y U KIDDING ME??*

I came across a forum which says that it's now permanent on some areas and to those who have tried it before. So I was like, (asdfghjkl!!) no choice but to live with it. T_T

Here I am, happy and contented after a period of moving on and adjustments.lol/jk.
But seriously. I'm appreciating it more than ever. Changes always have something better.
So now, I'm just moved by how the photo viewer looked like when I opened the photo I uploaded this morning.























Easier comment-viewing. Horizontal layout this time. :) Well, as for me, I find it nicer :)
How about a tap on their shoulders? :)
