sometimes, the youngest needs to act like the oldest. :/

Early Christmas Wishlist :))

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin

 Even though I watched the movie first, I still wanted to read this book! :)

Something Blue by Emily Giffin

I wanted to know more about Darcy(this book goes after Something Borrowed)!

Oatmeal Cookies :)

wee! it's my first time to bake some cookies :D
I got the recipe from Joy of Baking

The videos on this site can help a lot when you're on the baking process. I swear!

Ingredients:
1 cup (110 grams) walnuts or pecans, toasted & chopped
3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (210 grams) packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (105 grams) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups (260 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats (old-fashioned = more chewy!)
1 cup dried cranberries, cherries, or raisins or 1 cup white or dark chocolate chips(optional)
(i used semi-sweet chocolate chips for this recipe)

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (Make sure your are looking at the right temperature!)

I knew I never wasted my love for you
I know that it made me better;
better than who I am before the day the we met
You made my life worth living even just for a while.

You made me real,
You made me write this for you
I know I don't want anyone else,
I don't know when will I totally get over your spell
'cause I still want you badly here by my side
despite the stabs and blows that you've made to this pathetic girl.

You made me feel special,
Like a child having his new toy airplane;
He handled it with so much care for the first time;
He doesn't want anybody to touch it;
but he desperately wants to brag the whole world what he's got.

I still keep your letters,
It says you love me,
that you wanted spend another time with me.
But then a word followed it;
that we can't be together
Another letter says that you own me,
It made my heart jump and scream
I wanted to tell you that the feeling is mutual;
but there were many buts, and i can't think clearly.

Now I find myself looking for someone like you
To sweep off my feet,
To make me feel the same way that I felt about you.
Why is it always you?
Now I am wondering if I ever crossed your mind?

Paranoid.

Yeah "Paranoid", I really do hate this feeling right now. But I hope that those things running right through this highly implausible mind was just a mere product of my head.

I couldn't stop thinking about what happened today and what had happened for the past few days. I just want to describe it in one simple word: "FAILURE" or the so-called "EPIC FAIL". Right at this very moment, I've been relating myself to this song of the band Simple Plan, "Welcome To My Life". You've probably heard this a long time ago but it's clearly singing right in my mind. The lyrics were crystal clear and every lines in this song describes my feeling today.

(you can sing with me if you want to)


Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud 
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you 
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
