The not so chocolate chip cookies

Hello everyone!
I hope you're all having a good day!!

So some time ago i tried making chocolate chip cookies. I live in asia and sadly we don't get pillsbury here (i am going to start a market here someway!!). So sadly we have to do everything from scratch.

I am not a patient person actually but I wanted choco chip cookies badly so i started out making them from scratch with a very positive outlook (I imagined how the cookies would look in the end!). I did as the recipe instructed to the last bit (I had a similar accident with a cake when I mixed up measurements) so I was very careful this time.

But woe be me when in the end the cookies ended up flat as pancakes and only tasted sugary sweet. I couldn't even taste the chocolate chips in them! You can understand my grief and resentment over the whole affair when I put so much effort and the cookies ended up like flat crumbly sugar treats!

And after that I have given up baking... yet. I'm sure I will rant again again after another mess in a while.

Ah.. the woes of heart break...

Ah the sweet sounds and words of Adele can sooth the souls of those heart broken and down in the depths. Going through that is a numbing and painful experience that everyone gets to feel at least once in our lifetime (for those who found someone to live with with just one heart break.. kudos! for others.. you've been through much..)

In today's world love is marketed as much as anti-aging products. with the regular pink hearts and roses and also with the black hearts and goth themes, love is a popular topic since its introduction (when was that exactly?).

What is love? depending on how beaten by love they are the answer differentiates from one person to another. for me, it's finding someone you can tolerate, and someone who can tolerate you and live with your random crazy bouts and mood swings and all that jazz. But finding someone like that is hard.. and there are always the arguments, disappointment, hurt and also the happiness that comes with being with someone you care about.

Love is full of sacrifices.. whoever said that got it right in a single sentence. Its about blending in with the other person and trying your best to stay happy among the hardness of live. Once you know the feeling of caring for someone to imagine a life with them, it's hard to let go (unless cheating is involved.. then girl, you get to make sure he remembers you because of the humiliation he went through after the break up).

If you made the hard decision of ending a relationship because you two did not mesh at all, no matter how much both of you tried.. it's a hard and painful decision. Because you two were together and happy once in the relationship.. and memories tend to stick.

Adele, Katy Perry and Beyonce will help.. lots of chocolate and hanging around will help too.. Hang in there.. and hope that someday the pain will be a memory too.

Life after college

So it's been two years since i graduated. And all this time I've been trying to find my way, so to speak.It's hard to find a direction and a goal to end up in after you've been through school for life. You start to appreciate your childhood, where you only had to listen to mom and dad and then just have fun without any responsibility. Becoming an adult, as my mom likes to stay, is like marriage... those who are inside want to get out, and those outside want to go in.

The childhood dreams you were always so sure that you would accomplish seem so distant and unreachable. Trying to find a job without the qualification listed in the requirements bullet list... trying to make ends meet with your bills and food.. just making sure you have enough ramen to survive till you find a job.. these are the types of things you get used to after graduation.

But there are those who went after their dreams and made them come true. But that percentage of brave people seem to miniscule when compared to others around you who are a majority in this sea of people in the 'making sure you can pay the bills' category.

But there has to eba silver lining in the cloud right? they always say there's light at the end of the tunnel too.. So hopefully I will find this thing all these people keep talking about too.. Maybe..

So until then.. TGIF!!!

Mundane-ness needs to be word

Hellooooo
So how is everyone on this fine monday morning? I can't say I'm feeling bad.. which is mostly contributed by the fact that currently I am without a job and dead broke. Living off your parents has its perks and all but all of it seems to be downed by the constant nagging and the never ending chores (since I'm home why shouldn't I be the ones doing it instead of my working parents right?)

Facebook has it's own interesting quirks too apparently. Zuckerberg likes to confuse the simple minded and habitual people by adding new things that you have to go around clicking to figure out what exactly it does.

For instance the page I had made got this silly bar that kept going down as I scrolled down the page. I get it that it's useful for using the insight and all, but really, does it have to go down with the page?
