  Another recipe from Aurelien who lives in Lille, France. :) Ingredients: 500 grams flour 2 eggs 125 grams white sugar 4 apples 1 pinch of salt 500 ml fresh milk Mix everything in a bowl. Add apples cut in small pieces Put in plate Bake at 175 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.   My first time to bake an apple cake that kind of turned out as a pie! Hahahahahaha it was great! I loved it. Thanks, mon amour, for sharing your grandmother Madeleine's recipe! A: "Don't forget the most important ingredient!!" D: "What is it?" A: "Love." :)

Finished reading Overnight Sensation by @halacious1! Thanks for the good and easy read, sir. Four stars out of five Also, thanks for these bookmarks and guitar picks which are very useful to me because I have lost mine through the years. More so for the letter... if I were to win the world lottery, I would give you a share so pray for it! Haha Anyway, it is fun to read something that teleports me back in high school -- forming a band, practicing, 'can we really pull it off?' moments, stage fright that slowly fades away when you start playing! We had the time of our lives haha! Thanks #GoodReads #FirstReads When I received this book in the mail, I got super excited and super curious to read it. Looking at the cover made me think and assume that this will definitely bring back the feelings back in high school when I was all about that bass. I mean, I was part of a band and playing along with my friends (seatmates!!!) back then probably is one of the best memories...

There was a time when I struggled to speak: back when I visited my father who was confined in a room full of beds. No one else was there except me, my father who was sleeping, some nurse from afar, empty beds, and different kinds of machines attached to his body.  I could have said everything I felt rather than just saying I'll go back home. There was a time when I struggled to speak: when I got back that afternoon from the hospital and found the rest of my family crying in the kitchen. My father died minutes after I got out from the hospital. He was a great, brave man. There was a time when I struggled to speak: after two years, my mother died. I realized I lost both of my parents. No words, just heavy breaths... and I still feel the same until now. There was a time when I struggled to speak: when I came home from school carrying a pint of chocolate ice cream and a test paper with me. I could not speak anything but I've had some few breaths in between eating and c...

I couldn't sleep tonight. It's probably weird for me to disregard sleep rather than counting sheep until I fall asleep. I was already in bed to finally get some rest but my mind thought a lot of things that I decided to just spend the night awake and spend the time in my room. I'm going to miss this place. These 4 walls... my comfortable bed... my desks... everything in this place. It has witnessed all my emotions, who I am when I am alone, my physicality, my everything... I am counting days until I move away from this place. And I am here, crying like a heart-broken loser. It feels like I am at the verge of breaking up to my long-time relationship. God knows how much I am hurt now but God also knows why I have to move away. And I trust everything in Him. Tears are falling down my cheeks non-stop. And I am going to say it again, I am going to miss this place. I was at the terrace a while ago and the sky was so clear. Stars were clearly twinkling above me and as I was stan...

French Toast recipe (This recipe is originally from A Beautiful Mess .) Ingredients: Thick slices of french bread 5 eggs 1/4 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Corn flakes unsalted butter  Procedure: 1. Crush the corn flakes. Set aside in a plate. 2. In a bowl, combine and whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract & cinnamon. 3.  Heat a pan over medium heat with butter. 4. Take a slice of french bread, dip into your mixture of egg and then dip in your plateful of cereals. Shake off excess. 5. Place in the hot pan. Using a spatula, press the bread so it will be fully cooked inside. Cook the other side. Repeat with the remaining pieces of bread. I served it with some chocolate on top. You can use your favorite syrup for sure ;) Thank you, Emma of A Beautiful Mess, for sharing this fun breakfast recipe!

For the past months, I can see a lot of changes around me. For once, I never thought it would come to this. I was raised by my family well and I believe that all my 5 siblings were, too.  We were once a happy group of people though there were some circumstances that would lead one soul (W) away from us. But we did not really left it at that. I know that, as cliche as it may sound, time will heal all wounds and that problem will somehow drift away and becomes just a norm that it would not seem like a problem at all. And things will continue to move on. At least, that's how I see some things around me for the past twenty-four years. Our doors are open for reconciliation. Timing is everything. So there's that hope. But these past few months, I learned that if there is a problem in the family it does not really seem like a problem at all because I know that everything is fine and there is still that string that binds us altogether. No one is bitter but someone has his pride. But...

Chicken Caldereta recipe Another meal I cooked for the family of three (me, my sister, and her husband). My sister helped me how to make this! I just made myself the best Caldereta evuuuur because it's less oily than how it is usually prepared. That's probably because I fried the chicken first and not cooked the raw together with the vegetables. I know this blog somehow turned like a recipe blog of some sort but I couldn't really sit down and spend time writing the things I used to write about --which probably is the reason why I am not sane at times. I'll get back to writing once all these things are sorted out. Ingredients you need: Chicken cutlets Canola oil Red onions, sliced Cloves of garlic, sliced Potatoes, diced Carrots, sliced Green beans Tomato sauce Salt and white pepper Some REAL pineapple juice A little diced cheddar cheese This is how I cooked it (it may differ from the way it is usually cooked, because yolo haha): 1. Boil your chicken...

Palitaw is a sweet rice cake Filipino treat. It's super easy to make and probably one of the best simple things in life. Hah. It was my first time to make these with the aid of my sister.  Here are the ingredients we used: 1 cup of Malagkit rice  / Glutinous Rice (rice flour) 1/2 kilo white/brown sugar 1/2 cup water Grated coconut mean (fresh!) 1. To make a dough, combine the rice flour and water. 2. Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, take a part from the dough, roll it into a ball and flatten it. 3. Take a pot and fill it with water, bring it into a boil and poach your flattened dough into it. Poach 5 doughs at a time or depends on how big your pot is. 4. It takes about a minutes or so for each dough to cook. Once the dough floats, it usually is a sign that it is cooked. 5. Once cooked, put it into a plate to dry. You can use banana leaf cuts as a plate if you have any. 6. Serve your palitaws with a sprinkle of sugar and grated coconut meat. You can ...
