--- Yummy mocha cake

In order to celebrate the long weekend, my mother requested a mocha cake. I am not a huge fan of mocha cakes, but I like them. Anyway, here's a picture of my mocha cake! It's sitting in the fridge right now, tightly sealed in a big container, awaiting for my hungry family who will probably attack my cake tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I ended up overwhipping the whipping cream frosting (like i always do) so at the last minute, I decided to put oreo cookies on the side to cover the amateur-looking frosting! And also I sprinkled some oreo crumbs on the top. The whipping cream frosting was a bit disappointing (overwhipped) but it still tasted really good. Very mocha-y (: Oh, the bread was very very very very nice and moist. I'm proud of my bread :D

I just realized that... in the picture, my mocha cake looks like a cheesecake. Oh my gosh, I want cheesecake... Anyway that's it for today! My very happy mocha cake post!

--- Longing for Spring Shopping!

I looked through my entire closet today and I am very ashamed to say that it was very messy and unorganized. Of course I refolded every single one of my shirts, jeans, cardigans, skirts and etc. As I saw all the piece of clothing that I own, I realized something very very terrible. I have WAY too many dark colored clothing. They're mostly black, gray or navi. Okay, I do have some bright colored clothing, but those ones dont fit me anymore, unfortunately. So, I have decided to do something next saturday since I have NOTHING scheduled for that date! All of my tests, quizzes, assignments are over as of tomorrow! All I have left to hand in to the teacher is my novel portfolio for my English class. And let me tell you something. I procrastinated on Friday and Saturday because my parents were seriously distracting me with the TV show about seven singers going against each other. It's a Korean show (obviously, or else they wouldn't understand) and ALL of the singers are just so talented at singing. They almost make me cry every time. The show is called "I am a Singer" in English and it's called "나는가수다" in Korean, in case you were wondering (:

As I was saying, I could not get ANYTHING done on Friday and Saturday. The main distraction was the TV show, and the second ... well, it wasn't really a distraction. It was more of a schedule planned for Saturday. I recently joined the GYL (Global Youth Leader). I actually joined because of their music ensemble, but apparently there is a once-a-month meeting which I have to attend everytime if I don't want to risk getting kicked out of the group. Anyway, there was a tree planting event that took place in Meadowvale & Zoo Rd. Basically, I had to partner up with a friend and go around the entire park to find little pots with plants in them. Then we had to dig a hole with a shovel, loosen the plant out of the pot and place the plant in the hole. Finally, we had to put all the soil that we dug out back into the hole! AND repeat about 10 times. It was actually quite fun. We planted trees for about 2 hours and after the event was over, my partner's family, my friend's family and my family all went to the big Tim Hortons to get ice cap and fruit smoothie. I was quick enough to add whipping cream on top of my ice cap (for an extra charge of 60 cents, of course. Nothing's free) and when I received mine, my partner said "Oh. You can get whipping cream?"

Yes, David. You can get whipping cream from Tim Hortons. My small ice cap with 60 cents worth of whipping cream tasted yummy!

So yeah. That's basically what happened on Saturday... and because I did not feel like doing any work when I arrived home, I left the Novel Portfolio for today. I worked since 2 pm until 8 pm. Obviously with breaks and a bit of watching "I am a Singer" with my family (: They are so good at singing, did I mention that? Wow, I am very off-topic. Hopefully, you're still reading this... because this is a bit too long. But, who cares. Anyway, back to the main topic. I am dying to go spring shopping! For some bright colored off shoulder tops with cute jean shorts (not the ones that look like panties... but not the ones that are too long either) and some skirts too. I need new skirts. The ones I have are either too long or too short. SO, there you have it. I have a desperate longing for spring shopping, so I'm probably going to go next saturday!!

--- Procrastination strikes again

I'm very sad to say that I am more distracted than ever before. The agreement thing is not really working out right now which I find incredibly pathetic. It's just SO hard to focus on the studies and do fun stuff later on you know? I do want to get better marks and all but really, YOU give it a try. It's harder than it sounds. So here it is: procrastination strikes again. I'm pushing homework and "work" stuff for later on and going on other internet distractions and etc. I really gotta stop that. I have a science test on the upcoming thursday and a history quiz (which I REALLY need to do well on - which i think is impossible) on the day after. I AM BASICALLY SCREWED. Here's a happy thought though. Maybe if I get off blogger right now and start studying then maybe I'll have a chance! Yay! Alright, I'll do that. But I'm probably going to do other stuff anyway... OHMYGODD why is my "study" life so messed up!!! I want to prove to myself, my specific friend and my parents that I CAN DO THIS THING. BUT.ITS.SO.FREAKING.DIFFICULT. Alright I'll get off so I could make this (somehow) into a happy post.
Yeah the happy theme isnt really working out unfortunately. AHHHHHHHHHHH. this is so sad D:
But, it's okay because I'm going to go and study right now!

Happy Mother's Day btw (:

--- Happy May!

I am very happy to say that it is finally May! I'll be turning grade 11 soon and I'll obviously look forward to the "brownie-at-the-balcony" teeny tiny event I do with a few of my friends before the starting of next year. Hopefully, this year, more of my friends come and make the event a very special moment.
Here's a little funny news: my dad got stung by a bee hiding in his slippers yesterday.

Okay, not very funny for him, but be honest. When someone tells you that a bee that was hiding in his/her slippers stung him/her, wouldn't you laugh? That's what I did... and my dad got kind of angry but only for a bit. Here is an even happier news: I am almost 95% healthy. I checked my last post, which was on April 22nd "--- When you're sick, nothing's funny..." I have been sick for a week and 2 days! (Counting today)

Anyway, today is the start of May, so go waste your energy outside! Today is kind of rainy, unfortunately, but you can still jump in puddles and mud right? PLAY LIKE PIGS! HAPPY MAY!
