How to burn--uh bake (woops) cookies with 3 ingredients!

My friends, Sig and Bhel, have been into baking recently, and I haven't haha. So when we got together this weekend, we bonded over flour, eggs and Nutella. We tried to bake Nutella cookies and peanut butter cookies. How did it go? Uhm, let's just say sometimes you gotta go through several mistakes in your life before you hit perfection. Okay okay, so the first batch for Nutella and same goes with the peanut butter cookies were bit of a failure. It was burnt, okay! But the second batch were pretty good. Mm-hm! This might be the start of our pastry business. Or maybe not. 

If you want to try it yourself, we followed the instructions from Tammilee Tips. Check her page out! 

You'll only be needing flour, eggs, and Nutella!

Peanut butter cookies

Sig doesn't settle for circle-shaped cookies

Wait till heat ruins our pretty cookies

Ta da!

That explains their reactions

But wait! We believe in second chances!

Wait for it...

Yaaaaay!!!! :)

What's in my GIRLFRIENDS' bags? II

Ms. Poopy Pants' Dating Profile

Do you believe in love at first sight?

I do, actually. And I fell in love with so many people in random places at the weirdest times(mostly). Also, when you see or meet a certain someone and  you instantly feel attracted to that person, I'd say that counts as love at first sight. 

What do you do for fun?

I love judging people, really. That sounded so wrong, but yep it's true. I enjoy sitting by myself in a room of crowded people, and I would just analyze each one of them or maybe make up a backstory about them in my head. 

Do you want/do you have any children?

I don't have a child yet. But I would love to bear a child and be a Mom! NOT NOW though. I already planned out how my Mommy life would be like. He he. Too early for that. Engk. But I love Tom Fletcher and his wife's take on having a child... lookie!

What is the one thing about yourself that you would like me to know?

That I'm actually a mind reader. Hah! I've been reading you since you pick me up earlier this evening! Your mind is somewhere else! Your friend just forced you to go out on a date with me! Hah! <-- That's what I would say on the actual date. Nyehe

If you won a lottery, how would you ever spend your millions?

I'd make Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs come to life and invent "Rachel Venus Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator". Why? To end world hunger. Boo yah! I got to be cool, famous and noble. Beat that, beauty queen wannabes! 

Which was the first crush you ever had?

I can't remember his name. He was this tall guy back when I was in kindergarten. He was the boy every girl kindergartner wished for. He was just.. ugh so dreamy. Haha so much kalandian at such young age. I was four back then, btw. 

You got six months to live, what will you do first?

Travel the world. DUH. Such cliche question and I'd give you its cliche answer. 

Are you a morning person, or a night person?

Definitely a night person. Not the YOLOing kind of night, though. Just a peaceful night writing a blog. In fact, as I write this blog, it's almost midnight so yea, that gave my answer justice.

If you have friends coming over, what would you cook?

Anything that I can just pop in the microwave or any ready-to-eat stuff that I can buy from the grocery. I'm not the best cook in town, ooowkaaay? Don't want to drive away my friends cause of my cooking.

If you could travel back through time, what single mistake would you correct in life?
I don't like this question.

Where do you see yourself in five years time?
I'd be 24 by then. Hmm. Maybe engaged (I have my own time frame, just so you know but still depends on the guy, or fate hay anyway), running a business, raising two dogs and multiple posts on this blog.

Life Update: Bummer Summer

Ello ello! Here's an update on my life, not like you gaaiz care. Oh wait, you're in my blog so you kinda do. Uh, no? Hmm, m'kaay. 

Perfect place to be in right now - Boracay

Summer is such a drag, well for me at least. I haven't gone into a vacation this summer yet. Don't get me wrong, I love my staycation--sleeping till noon, not having to worry about how I look like, eating like a hungry wolf. I love it! But I just want to get out of the house and actually feel summer! But since it's not time for that yet, I'm just gonna wait for graduation day and after that I'm gon' have the vacation that I've been waiting for three years. 

What I've been up to for the past weeks? Being such pain in my parents' ass. Mwahaha I'm such a worthless potato head. I make no effort in searching for jobs gaaaah hahaha I'm not proud of myself. One company already called me though, but I didn't show up in the interview, coz.. uh hehe, I have no excuse for it. Ayoko lang. This week's going to be the launching of my parents' dream church, so I'm their little helper in doing this and that. Yesh! I admire how my Mom and Dad didn't let their dream just be dream. I remember how they would do their Sunday outreach under a duhat tree seven years back. Now, they have their own function hall to hold worship services. They named the church New Creation Fellowship. Cool no?

I've been into pilates exercise lately. It makes your body super sore at first, but.. no, I still can't tell you how would it feel pag pro ka na, kasi sobrang di pa ko pro, I still feel sore. Haha. Also, I'm now into vlogging! Haha shocker. I started my legit vlogging when I realized that I'll be having only few days left in school. Boohoo. I know it'll be something my college friends and I will look back at (if YouTube still exists by then) 10 to 20 years from now. I still have vlogs that I haven't exported yet, I'll upload some of those when I find time (wow kala mo naman busy). 

My life isn't that interesting. I just wasted your time reading this. Bazinga.

Rachel React: How I Met Your Mother Finale

For starters, I hate the finale. There! I said it!

There are few reasons why I hate the finale. Just a few. Well, you see, what happened in the finale is something that you wouldn't think it'll turn out that way, yet I kind of saw it coming. Huh ang labo ba? Yea, I was not that shocked when I found out that the Mother we've all been waiting to meet is apparently dead (woops, huge spoiler for those who haven't seen it yet). I might've read an article about that months before the finale, so I had a hint that that could possibly happen, and so it did. Huwaw. Now that the series finally ended (after 9 years woah), I don't think the title "How I Met Your Mother" is fitting for what Ted has been telling his kids. It should've been, "How I Met Your Aunt Robin". I was never a fan of Ted and Robin's love affair. There was just no legendary awesomeness to it, like what Robin had with Swarley. UGH. 

I hate that even after Ted found his "The One", he still hasn't managed to let his feelings for Robin go. I hate that love is not enough for Robin and Barney to keep their marriage. I hate that Barney's still Barney from 2005. I hate that Robin and Barney got divorced just like that!!!! Just like that! I mean, really?! Barney fell in love with Robin, they got together, they broke up, they managed to still be friends, Robin never unloved Barney, Barney proposed to Robin under a mistletoe, they got engaged, and we freakin' waited for an entire season for them to finally walk down the aisle! It was exactly 23 hours of watching what happened before the wedding day! 23 episodes, 1 weekend and it took 2 minutes to break the news that they got a divorce?! I just.. I can't.

Okay, moving on (I'm trying)... What also bothered me is that the boys got their happy ending, apparently. Why so? Well, Marshall went from being the Judge Fudge to the Fudge Supreme! Ted met the Mother of his children. And Barney became a Daddy. He's the cutest Daddy with a baby on a suit. But uh, what about the girls? Lily never got to fulfill her dream to become an artist, and now she's on her third pregnancy. I mean, yea, every child's a blessing but wouldn't a little twist on Lily's career would be nice? Oh, and as for Robin, she's still the busy field reporter who ended up being a mommy to a dozen of dogs in her forties. What's the fun in that?  

But nonetheless, my hatred for the finale didn't change the fact that I love the series as a whole. It had been a part of my life, and I'll never get tired of watching it over and over and over again. I saw how the gang changed in so many ways. HIMYM taught us how to love and value friendship. If only I could give the writers a big hug!
