2011


2010 has been an exhausting, challenging and overwhelming year for me.
This year, I've been blessed with the opportunity to study in Melbourne and starting something new while learning to be independent at the same time. I've lost love, but found strength in that to make me a stronger person and opening my eyes up to bigger & better things. I've made such wonderful friends, friends who really cares and friends that I will always treasure. I am definitely looking forward to ending this year and starting 2011 with a whole new perspective on things, and I'm also cutting people who has hurt me out of my life. 2011 seems so promising already.
Till next year.

The golden age.



{12am Friday - The surprise}


The golden affair.

Well well well, my 21st went well. I actually pictured myself frantically running around trying to entertain my friends and family, but I have really great friends and a very lovely mother who made me less panicky and that allowed me to mingle around without all the stress. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I've got all I need and MORE this year. Got a djembe all the way from Melbourne, a chocolate-coloured polaroid camera (finally!), a cupcake stand (thanks Ad!!!), Marc by marc jacobs pouch, pretty mittens, the prettiest measuring cups ever (!), bags, passport holder and the best gift of all are all the blessings and wishes from all the lovely people. 

21 now. Time to see and do things as an adult would, but still keep the fun in being me.

When life gives you lemons;

Bake Bake Bake!
Here's what I've been baking.

{Christina's Bridal Shower}





Been putting quite a bit or rather... a lot of my energy on baking. The results has been très exciting thus far. There's this sort of relief that I find in baking. I mean, retail therapy as well, but lately it's been more of baking. When I bake I'm so focused in getting it right, and there's this rush that I can't explain. Someday after I graduate, I hope to be doing something that involves pastry besides my day job which I would absolutely love as well. 

That being said, things has been pretty aa-ooo-kehh lately. My 21st is up in a week! Turning 21 means that 22 is just 'round the corner! I shall age gracefully. December is going to be swell. Hell yeaaaaaaa~
