good evening!!
on sunday my mum and i shared the kitchen and baked together. i really really missed my mom and doing things with her!! and i also got to play the piano again!
anyway i put together an apple crumb pie (supposed to be double-crust but i made too little dough! sigh. so i had to whip up some crumbs!) while my mom baked spiced cookies with crystallized ginger and cappuccino cookies rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking! she also roasted japanese yams and sweet potatoes. the smell was so divine ... it's what i know autumn to be; spicy, sweet, and warm. it makes you want to curl up before a fireplace with a blanket reading a weathered copy of a sweet winter tale. it made me wish for snow. lots of it. back in first grade, there was one winter day when my teacher told us that it will snow if we wore our pajamas-inside out and dance before we sleep. i danced that night, with my sister playing along and helping me get into my pajamas inside-out. and the next morning i woke up to see my entire tiny town covered in blankets of snow.
a few days ago i dreamed that i was in my friend's room and she had a closet that opened up to a swerving pathway sheltered with arches of trees, leaves, pink roses, and vines ... and the sun was coming through and everything glimmered like diamonds.
this week college was very stressful and at times maybe a little too harsh for me. it's just that i can have a faint heart sometimes and be extra sensitive to people who can be critical or just don't care about others ... but of course, there are always those who really do make you smile, and give it their all to make you laugh and help you straighten up!!
anyways, today i went to brooklyn botanical gardens for a photoshoot!! it's for my photography project ... here it is!!
so many cheers, hearts, love, hugs, smiles -- all that good stuff to my sister and ophillia
for modelling for me and enduring the early autumn cold!! it was so much fun! we sat
down to have a hearty meal at popeye's. can't beat biscuits and mashed potatoes!
oh, and hot tea and hot chocolate!!<3 :)
also, here's the apple pie i made and an image from the shoot i had with mary a few weeks ago!
until next time loves! it's midnight and i got class tomorrow!!!
