Its my first time to make a Whoopie Pies, suprisingly I was amazed on how it tasted. I’m a fan of banana cake/muffins but to have it with a cream cheese filling which is a bit tangy and sweet was quite an interesting combination.
Satisfied with my adventure in baking :)
Your Recipe for Life: The Vow movie quotes
Life’s all about moments of impact, and how they change our lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them? -Leo
I chose to stay with him for all the things he’s done right; not the one thing he’s done wrong. I chose to forgive him. -Rita Thornton
I vow to live…
Time…
Time is something we never have control of and wish we always had more. I often wonder about the people I care and love the most of how long I will have to share with them. So many times we say we have all the time to let them know how much they mean to us but sometimes there are also times we end up too late before we do anything or say so.
I have lost a lot of loved ones ( people who touched my lives) along the way and it has never been an easy road to take. There are so many words left unsaid and so much more in wishing the person heard every single word.Even as much as we want to relive each moment, its gone…but one thing for sure is while we still have those people that we do love and care for, let your feelings be known before you never get the chance to say it.
Appreciate each moment you have with a friend, a brother, a sister, a significant other , mother, father, cousin, aunt, uncle, a workmate, and the list goes on. You never know if you will cross this way again, so tell them how you appreciate them as we never know in a split second they are gone…
Live your life to the fullest and make each moment count…
Live a life of no regrets….
Frostings
The best thing in baking for me is the frosting…a.k.a icing :) I simply love them. I remember as a kid when my mom would make Chocolate Cake and her icing was just simply delish! I would have my mom make a second batch for just my add on to the cake for me and my brother. Talk about mem’ries!
Its been awhile since I made cupcakes and I was making it for my friend Siobe for her birthday. As I was making the Chocolate Buttercream, it was a simple recipe which comprises of milk, cocoa, butter and sugar. Although making it was exhausting. I just hate all the mixing until I get the icing consistency, it just takes a lengthy time but it sure is worth the wait :)
Roller Coaster
I would describe my 2011 as a roller coaster ride. It has been one hell of a year. A lot of ups and downs. Some endings and of course something about to begin. I have gained and lost in this year but I think this was one year that I started to puzzle my life back together.
There was a lot of pains of the past which I could not let go and was afraid to face. I absolutely thought some things were not conceivable but hey, I suprised myself in some of the things I thought I could not handle. I have loved and lost but it sure was worth the experience.
Life has always been a trial and error. I learned so much this past year. Sometimes its not because you do not care that you do things to find your real answers. I made a lot of tough decisions but I know that I did what I felt was best for me. Its about going back to basics.
I feel I had to to do this to make sure I was putting all the pieces together that broke me.
On my path of searching for my peace of mind I was blessed with so many wonderful people who somehow kept me grounded and sane through my tough times. I can’t help but say thanks

Superman
I have no idea if you know how much you mean to me. To me you have completely turned my world upside down. I am not asking for anything yet all I know is just having you near has made me happy. I have mentioned you to a close friend and my friend just brushed me off and said that I should just forget it but all I know is, for me having you a part of my life has made things brighter.
As a hopeless romantic that I am I know that you are my hero. You pulled me out of the rut that I was in and made me start living again. You are my superman…Corny as it may sound only if I had the courage to let you know how I feel I would. Yet I’m ok being this way…loving you in silence.
I felt like writing this because here in my world I can freely let you know what I feel without hesitations. Maybe someday I will have the courage to let you know…For now you are my inspiration.
