Sugar to the max!

I spent about three hours baking cupcakes. No big deal.
Failed my first two batches. The frustration killed me. But I didn't give up, just like I haven't given up writing songs. And finally the third batch came out perfecto!
I did write three songs this weekend, which is always a good thing. (:
And yes, thanks to Shakespeare, my inner poet is still inside me.
And now you all know that I bake. Haha

Easter cupcakes! :)
 That ball on the top is cookie dough... salmonella free, of course.
 Photography skills do come in handy. And an awesome camera.
 The fact that there was so much sugar in this scared me. Let's hope we all stay healthy after munching on one... :S
Thanks mom for taking this one! 

My mom gave me serious prep talk when I was about to give up on my second batch. She made me bake again until they were perfect. (Oh, what a perfectionist!) 

Methinks I should post another song asap. Agreed?

Happy bunny day!

Goodies.

Life is good when you have cinnamon rolls.
But not when it takes about 3 hours to make. You see, I'm slow when it comes to baking because I lag a lot. This time, not only did I lag, but I had to leave the dough out for and hour and then leave the rolls out for 45 mins. I baked this while I was watching the Teen Choice Awards.

Pretty awesome stuff.

The cool part? My mom wanted to watch it just because of Taylor Swift. Yep, we're T.Swift freaks! Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez were pretty cool out there too.


                                             I see lots of gooey icing. :)

                                       

So yeah, that's basically how my evening went. I also baked banana bread but unfortunately, that didn't work out. Sorry to say, I was too busy this evening to write anything. Whoops!

 Chef Mani in the making.

P.S- I mastered "Forget You" by Cee Lo Green on piano. Yay!

Home "Sweet" Home.


I've been home all day long. Gee, how wonderful, isn't it? What a great way to spend my spring break. I think this day has been wasted. I mean, seriously, I could have written a song.

But I didn’t.
I could have gone out. But I didn’t. I could have played outside; mainly because for once it’s actually nice outside. But I didn’t. I could have-

Yeah, you get the point.

I just didn’t, okay? I stayed home, sat comfortably on my sofa wearing my sweatpants, watched TV and didn’t do anything productive. Well, actually there was something productive.
I ate.

Eating food is quite an important and productive thing to do. If you don’t agree, then prove me wrong. I mean, eating is one of the ways that you’re healthy and ALIVE. Am I correct? When am I NOT correct? Probably one in a million.

I think I stretched that out a bit too far. Okay, I’ll go with one in a thousand.

Fine, fine. Okay. One in a hundred. Don’t push it.

As of right now, I’m sitting here with a notebook and a pen trying to come up with a new song. Honestly, I think I’ll end up coming up with a song at 3:00 AM, when I’m in the middle of a wacky dream.
When that happens, I don’t want to get out of my cozy bed and to my bookshelf and go through my however many notebooks I have until I find my songbook and try to write in the dark. Once I’m done, I get thirsty and I think to myself “Dude, you just wrote an awesome song. Now you must reward yourself with a cold glass of H2O.” 

Yes, I used a scientific term. 

Back to the story of my life. Do I go get a glass of H2O?

The answer my friend, is no. Why? Due to the fact that when a person, or to be exact, a family is asleep, people generally turn their lights off. Especially when it’s nighttime. No lights equal darkness. I don’t  like to go down the stairs when it’s dark and I prefer not to even walk around the house when I can barely see what I’m doing or where I’m going. I don’t have night vision. I consider you awesome if you do have night vision.

In other words, I’m too lazy to go downstairs, (in the dark!) and get a glass of water, then actually drink the water and go back up. 

Story time is over. 

Bytheway, I’m in the mood for a soft, chewy, chocolaty cookie. Yum. :)
