If I were to talk about what I have been up to lately, it would defeat the purpose of this blog. Things have been getting stressful specially when our teachers make sure to remind us everyday how much important this year this in making our career etc etc. There is just too much work and never time enough. I would lie there procrastinating and not actually accomplishing much. I have exams this month and the next month too :( Infact, I didn’t bake for what seemed like ages. There were times I would want to do it but then I’ll calculate how much time would be wasted and bla bla.
There has been a change in my life. I for once stopped hiding everything. Things I won’t talk about here because it’s not worth it and not safe either. I literally have no idea where my life is going to head to from now but I haven’t felt this relieved in months. I didn’t notice that I had stopped asking questions in class. But lately I regained that lost confidence.
Ahh how much I loved these brownies. There must be a million variations of ‘the brownies’. I have tried fudgy brownies too but I prefer cakey and chewy. They are more like the brownies you would picture your grandma making (not that my grandma ever baked!) This recipe was perfect and is going to be my favorite brownie recipe from now on. Yess they’re that good!

ReplyDeleteI understand you, I also have load of work, wish that everything will be ok for you! :)
We both are doomed I guess ;) Thank you so much! And good luck with everything. Winters are a LOT busier I swear. :/
DeleteThese look amazing! And as for regaining your confidence, you go girl! I hope and pray that all of your problems are solved, and soon enough before you know it whatever you are facing will seem like no big deal :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the wonderful comment. I seem to be getting better at managing stress. You know, it's just one of those times when you need help no matter how hard it is to confess. :)
DeleteGood luck on your exams. Don't worry about time lost or time procrastinating. My experience shows that its best to ignore, forget and move on. Otherwise, you will end up wasting more time on the time lost. It just shows how important it is to recharge. I am confident that things will be better soon. You are an extremely witty and intelligent young lady. Back to your question - I have a Canon IXUS 300HS camera. Based on my experience, even my mobile phone works as well - the trick is not to be afraid to take pixs of your food up close and personal, breathe in when you first take the shot and breathe out once the shot is taken. This allows your hand to be more steady, particularly with a mobile phone.
