De-stressing!

Image
What do you do when you are stressed or restless or having  panic attack? I eat chocolate. If there is no chocolate around, I  bake something that look like chocolate, let say, soft hot delicious brownie! Brownie! Well if I am posting up a picture of brownie, then I am also going to post the picure of chocolate. It would not be fair  to chocolate as they have been my comfort food and therapist for a  very long,long time and probably will be forever. Gift from my chocolate buddy ! :D Gift from myself :P Gift from a cute friend! Gift from a good friend :D(and it is seriously delicious! I finished it in a day It was that good) I found out why I seek chocolate at the time of my stressful time; apparently e ating chocolate increases the levels of endorphins, a h appy neurotransmitters ,which is  released into the brain and helps to reduce stress,pain and  and lead to feelings of euphoria. Chocolate also contain Serotonin, otherwise known as anti- depressant.

Midterm stress

Midterm Exam week finally came to end; with one lab remaining. And, it has been one hectic week. With a sack of books on my side, paper flying around, and my own hand squeezing my head to concentrate.  I had to give a course exam twice. TWICE. Worst part was; I was late on the very same course that I had to repeat. I reached university at the time when the exam got over. Reason? Traffic. Day after hartals is always a mess day.BIG MESS day. I was on road for three hours,and   it was one of most nerving day I ever had in my life. I was close to tear(thankfully I did not cry;not infront of people in bus,lol). Thankfully, another student was not on time too; so the lecturer permitted both of us to appear exam,*big sigh* I thank to Allah for granting me the chance to give exam. :) I am just bad at circuit and device stuff. No matter how much I try , I end up doing worse than before. Geez, I want to get over it already. At the end of the day, food is what I sought after nervin

For a long time, I have been disappointed in myself and wondered; do I have nothing best in me other than just mere reading skill? I don’t even have great literacy writing skill. Everyone around me seem to have something great; leadership or what not. But watching an episode of once upon a time, where Belle plays prominent role in this episode, and won the episode by using her only good quality-reading. Kudos to writer for making ‘reading’ a badass skill in such action fantasy oriented series, and showing that knowledge from book  is really important in all event. And the episode reminds me that no matter what kind of talent you have, knowledge is supreme of all. And it sure did lift my spirit and helping me to come in term with being just a reader.  It did not only lifted my confidence; but made me appreciated books more. It was my savior, comfort and my best friend. Most of my childhood, I have been hit rock bottom many times,  and whenever tht moment come,I  seek solace from  

Eid preparation!

These last two days has been hectic and noisy;with everyone shouting about cows,goats and their price to a point that my brain became tired of "goru, shagol" word. My brain invented a word for these "Gosha"; Go from goru and sha from shagol. And today, man side of my relative went to buy cow and goat. And those moments when they were away was such a relaxing one; I watched Ice age 4 without having to listen "Gosha" tale. Then my relaxing time got interrupted by them coming back and telling me to see Gosha down at the building! Okay, okay, I am admitting that I don't want to see Gosha ; what is the point to see them before they are executed? Today I fasted for the day of Arafat; and it felt so good fasting after a long time. For the long time I felt bit of peace. I pray that one day I could perform Hajj,Inshallah. Okay, I made pasta with cheese and slice beef for iftar. I made it for my siblings and relatives; and by the time I picked my phone to tak

Holidays  for eid started! I am so excited for the opportunity to do something for these few days! My plans for this holidays is to blog more , and share my days with you! And to be more active in cooking, exploring,etc. Few days ago, I went out with my elder sister to hospital to pick up some report. And then we had dinner at a restaurant called "Sharma House". We picked chicken pasta; and it was so horrible. When the pasta appeared in front of us I commented at my sister's pasta "Is that fries on top?".  the top layer was bit burned and the chicken were cut into big chunk and tasted like it has been in refrigerator for days!  We hardly ate it and told the staff to have it packed. I later improved it at home by removing the chicken and add cut sausage with tomato sauce and also capsicum. No need to throw the food out when i have upper hand to improve it. While we walked into the shopping mall, something caught my eye from the street shop; an array of beaut
