This year was full of happy memories and these photos are just few of the many! I tasted so far the best cake of the year that was served on my aunt C.'s birthday. This is a vanilla fruit cake. It was delicious, it wasn't very sweet, and I like the fruits on top. The fruits and the flavor of the cake was blended very well. Just so you know, I am a Game of Thrones fanatic. Yes I do! Oh I'm so excited for the release of season 6 this April! My favorite character is John Snow and there are already a lot of different theories of his history on the internet. Season 5 was hanging, wasn't it? Oh I just can't really wait for April! I am also a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey. I'd read all of the books and I ...

I had a very fun Christmas this year. My family and I prepared a short Christmas party with our workers. The food was delicious. Though, I hadn't took pictures of it. Actually, I hadn't took pictures during our celebration because my phone wasn't good at capturing dim views. We held the party at our garage so the light wasn't that good enough for my phone. :( Yet, I enjoyed the party so much! The cookie eating game was very funny. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, the game goes like this: you have to put a cookie on your forehead and the goal is you have to eat it without using your hands. So I was laughing out loud last night seeing the funny faces of the participants struggling to put the cookie in their mouth. For my gifts, these are the things that I received last night.  From the left, I had Pringles with Sneakers that is supposed to be attached on the side but I already ate it. I had a Bench perfume (blue bottle), a pink Tumblr, pos...

What a wonderful day to build I may the Christmas spirit is on its way. The snow and the mistletoe, Decorating the walls with red bows,  Oh jolly! Christmas is here. Saving a penny to buy for the family,  gifts are exciting as it can be. Christmas tradition,  let's pray for the world's condition the wars, the mourns, that peace and prosperity may be born. Christmas carols sang by children angelic voices, come and listen. Because Christmas is the day  where everybody  stand up and say It's Christmas! Let's cheer hooray!

Hooray for Christmas break! I should be posting this now to wrap up my whole week because this week  was very hectic. We had a lot of school works that I don't have the opportunity to prepare for Christmas. I just got home from the city. Now, I'm planning to buy Christmas gifts for my family. But today, I 'll gonna show you some major things that happened this week! We had our karyotyping exercise in our laboratory. Karyotyping is used to identify mutations in an organism's genes. As you can see at the right side of the picture, we find it difficult to pair the chromosomes according to their sizes and centromeres because they all look the same. After pairing up, some of the set of genes were identified to have Down syndrome and Cri du chat.  When I went to have a break with all my school works, I went to a tea store named Nai Cha and I ordered Wintermelon with pearls. It was very refreshing! My father also went to the city the day before we head hom...

Love,  I guess it's harder to wait. It's harder than I could imagine.  To see everyone come alone and go with someone. I can never barely tell if I can also be in that position. Because, my future is a mystery. I cannot see and feel how it will be. I am not sure if it can be the best for me. I can only see darkness through and I'll never know how it will be going.  I took the risk to wait. To think waiting is hoping, that  I fear for the days spent in despair will be wasted. What is more painful is to see yourself accept that you will be on your own, with no strings attached to. In the future, it might be like this and I'll never know.  It's funny. I don't understand why I long. I don't know the reason why I'm longing. Perhaps, this is just part of growing up.   

I have been very busy a lot these days. Before having our Christmas break I had to deal with a pile of laboratory reports, reporting, quizzes, and exams. Currently, I am studying Plant physiology for our reporting.  During Christmas break I still have to study for our upcoming Midterm exam week on January. So, my acads will always tail me this vacation. But, I hope I can still manage to update my blog :D

So I just created a Christmas playlist on my Spotify.  I will be updating it every now and then. So,  this is a list of the current songs I have in my Spotify.  1.

Today, I tried to make french toast again. I was hoping that it would be better this time. I have the same ingredients used from my previous post and it resulted to a much better french toast. Yey! Although, we didn't have some syrup and sugar to make it sweet. I'm hoping that I can make it more delicious and presentable next time and that needs more practice! I'm sorry if it looks like a toasted bread here. This is actually my french toast ✌ peace! For the whole morning, I was feeling very creative (??) that I put falling snowflakes on my blog to make it Christmas-y. I just want to spread the Christmas spirit as I'll be having a Christmas countdown for you guys. I think you already read my post about it. So yeah, happy Thursday everybody!

A year is a lot. We cried, we enjoyed, we did and we felt the life of being human. Three hundred sixty-five days is a compilation of our memories. Time flies like a light year. What were the things you cherished the most? Me, I like it when I got passed all of my second year subjects and progressed to being a third year student in college. I remembered how I find my Invertebrate zoology difficult because I always got Fs on the quizzes. But, I did it. It's funny remembering that I was head over heels with this guy that I gave a lot of effort to look at him even in a far distance. I love the moment when we were reunited with my high school best friends during my birthday. They got me balloons and a cake to give cheers for my day. I am grateful for the challenges that I faced and fought. They were the worst and the simplest struggles that challenged me and taught me a lot of things. They made me a better person than before.  See how your memories just flash out in yo...
