Super random. Period.

Well, it just popped out from my mind. This post might be somewhat a detour from my usual posts here. I think I just wanted it to express here rather than in Facebook. 

That feeling that is so different. It's his birthday today, an alarm from my old Nokia phone. So of course because of such it reminded me this morning that today's his birthday. Well, I grab my Sony Ericsson phone and typed a happy birthday message yet eventually I forgot that I already deleted his number in my contact list (my boyfie told me to delete it). However, I realized that I've had only deleted his number in my phone memory, so still, it's on my sim card memory. So I imported his contact and wooosh! Message sent! 

Yeah I know, there's nothing wrong with that but my boyfie don't want me to communicate with that guy anymore. However, in the end, I still did it. *evil grin

Two hours after, he replied with a thank you and take care message then an emoticon like this ":-P". I didn't reply back, deleted the message then act as if nothing happened.

Yet now, out of nowhere, a very random act I did tonight - I viewed his profile in Facebook. Viewed his profile picture and a flashback happened. 

That guy, I remember, who shared about his shattered lovelife last year.

That guy who invited me for a movie marathon in cinemas.

That guy who invited me for dinner in restos after his review and my work.

That guy who invited me for an adventure trip.

That guy who brought some Ferrero Rochers bouquet for me.

That guy who always greet me with good morning until goodnight messages.

That guy who told me that he will wait for me, no matter what.

That guy who went back in my life AGAIN.

That guy whom I let go because of my past.

That guy who made me happy before is the same guy who is now. . .

So much drama but hell yeah, I miss that guy, seriously. It still bothers me sometimes that, what if, he comes back someday? What if my life would be like a happy ending fairytale if it's him? What if?

But no, I'm with "MY" guy. 

How To Make Munchkins

I love sweet chunky desserts every after meals or even as snacks. And there are times, out of nowhere, I crave for these. However sometimes, I don't feel like spending longer hours in the kitchen baking and cooking pastries or going out to buy some. So here's an easy-to-make chunky dessert I love to eat - munchkins!

Here are what you need:

3 packs biscuits (Ace or Marie)

10 tbsp. condensed milk

2-3 tbsp. powdered milk or desiccated coconut

And steps are:

1. Crush the biscuits  through a food processor or you can crush it manually.

2. When it is fine already, add the condensed milk. Make sure the texture is not too wet so that this would be easy to roll  into balls.

3. Roll the mixture into small balls using hands.

4. Dip these balls to powdered milk or desiccated coconut.

Then put these inside a container with cover and keep inside the refrigerator for three to four hours. Serve while chilled! :)

DIY (Do It Yourself) Acid Washed Shorts (Used Pants/Jeans)

I got a lot of unused old pants in my closet since I was not fond of wearing shorts way back then. Though some of my pants still fit on me yet their designs (bootleg) are somehow outdated. And since I love wearing shorts now because it feels more comfty, I decided to turn these pants into shorts!

So here are the things you need to prepare:

Old pants
Dye
Hot water (for the dye)
Rubber bands
Bleach / chlorine


1. Cut the pants in your desired measurement and soak it in a water with bleach for two to three hours or until the color fades.

2. Tie the different sides of the jeans using a rubber band. Remember to tie it tightly.

3. Dissolve the dye in a hot water and soak the jeans on it. However, don't soak it totally so that it will leave undyed parts on the jeans.

4. After it, let it hang under the sun for drying.

5. I decided to make it ripped jeans eventually for a sorta preppy style.

And now my old pants are not useless anymore! :)

DIY (Do It Yourself) Galaxy Shoes

Why not make your old shoes look like new ones and even unique? It's just so simple and easy. Let's turn on our creativity style here!

Here are things that you need:

1. Old shoes
2. Textile/acrylic paints
3. Paint plate
4. Sponge
5. Teaspoon for stirring

So this is my canvass. Outcomes are better if you use white colored shoes.

Put some scotch tape on the linings of the shoes to avoid the paint smudging on it.

Using the sponge, put the paint with your desired colors on the shoes.

Using a brush, sprinkle the white colored paint to have a white dust effect. You can also paint some stars.

And here's the product of my work. Though it's kinda girlish because of the colors I chose. Teehee ^_^

I also tried to use my cousin's shoes as canvass.

Before putting the colored paints, I applied white paint first since my canvass has darker color.

I told ya it's so easy right? Try on your own and share it also about the outcomes! :)

How To Make Oatmeal Cookies Using Oven Toaster

Our baking oven is not working so I decided to use the oven toaster instead. In using the latter, make sure it has a controller wherein you can switch the upper and lower heating elements since the heat produced by the latter is different from the former.

Here are the ingredients that you will need:

1 cup unsalted butter (in room temperature)

1 cup white sugar

2/3 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cups of oats

1. Preheat the oven toaster in 100 degrees Celsius.

2. Beat the butter either using an electric mixer or through hand mixing.

3. Add the sugar. Mix it well until the sugar dissolves.

4. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix it.

5. In a separate bowl, mix the all purpose flour, baking soda and salt.

6. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture. Lastly, add the oats.

7. Put a parchment paper in the rack or a bond paper with oil.

8. Drop a spoonful of cookie dough in the rack with 1-2 inches apart from each other.

9. Bake it in 100 degrees Celsius for 5-10 minutes switching on the lower heating elements only. Then if the lower part of the cookies turned golden brown, switch off the lower heating elements while turning on the upper ones only. After the cookies turned golden brown, let it cool in a room temperature.

The minutes of baking the cookies depends actually upon your desired texture. So it is up to you if you want chunky or crispy cookies. I baked mine for almost 20 minutes since the temperature is low and I want to make it crispy.
