To understand a truth
We also did not grow up is unable to hold oneself back to leave their parents, think to leave their parents is a very happy thing. But when you work, found themselves far away from their parents. That can never be as constrained by time, suddenly feel a nice person. In the wrong estimation of the situation tube amp.
Moreover, single has many temptations, because single, we may at any time to attend a friend's party, do not have to care about each other's opinions or feelings. Because of the single, we feed a person, the whole family is full. Because of the single, can also through the night to go home, also can know a lot of the opposite sex Maid Agency, even one night love, need not nervous and scared. Single, sometimes good, but also very lonely.
We single hand, do not want to find a person to accompany, but fear is not easy to understand each other, then sad apart, perhaps this life can no longer meet. But love it not so? Some things are going through that process nuhart
, but the outcome is not a tragedy is happiness.
We know, habits, character, personality affects the fate. So when we single for a long time, it becomes a habit, the habit will affect our attitudes and feelings of love. The single also many reasons, such as the traditional people cannot accept the dress fashion people, for some reason is because work busy, while others are the eye is too high, so only the. In under the pressure of parents, we choose dating, dating is often not much feeling, just think doesn't hate together.
Single long, we will feel dull, passion for love will be reduced, the specific impulse will be reduced. Sometimes become depressed, manic, inexplicable upset, frustrated, upset. Don't feel the warmth, love to say: love this thing, or let it be okay!
When a single long, we would really afraid: I really don't know how to love? Also don't know what is love? Also to love slowly strange, forgotten, and sometimes wake up, feeling returned to the young and pure, because at that time did not know there is a love in the world. Eat, drink, play, will feel very well.
In fact, who is not afraid of a person? Who is not afraid of the coming of night? Some people may no longer single, married, but maybe decreed by fate you will remarry, so the love and marriage this thing really is unclear. Today I am writing state point is not good, very collapse, the mind is not clear, this is just a way to torture yourself.
Then, for a long time, experience love, you'll find out can make your heart beat faster not just of the person you like, and most likely are drug and alcohol stimulation, let you anesthesia, dizzy. Sometimes, looking at those people who take the medication, they achieve a state of a half drunk half awake, his eyes closed, enjoy music brings stimulation, indulge in their own world. In fact, I did not observe it, those who like to use drugs and alcohol to stimulate their own people, the heart is empty, lonely, perhaps say the heart is empty. Empty what are not, because they feel that the brain awake is a painful thing.
Single. No matter how long you still single, one day you will not be alone. Love. No matter who hurt you deeply, you also want to go to the love, even if you can't get married, but also so dedicated to love. Perhaps that love is life owes so much that people in this lifetime, it will let you so bitter suffering. Marriage. Whether you love or don't love, you have to get married, because the next generation of breeding is the traditional idea of Chinese. Just do not know that love or didn't love marriage, what can last long? Have to see each other to see in what state of mind, to run.
The day slowly dark, my hands are feeble, lie down and sleep! Because sleep is not thinking, wake up, will be a good mood to meet second days. Time is so quietly from me through, I was no longer eighteen, nine year old girl. The traces of the years also gradually let thoughts become mature, so the mature is really a terrible words.

Brown Sugar Cookies

Friday is snack sharing day at little C’s school. Of course this has put me in an absolute state thinking of what to make. I don’t know anything about pre-school and its customs. What is de rigueur? What is taboo? My only other experience with pre-school was when I actually went myself, and try as I might, I can’t recall too much detail. I am quite familiar however, with snacking, my most recent experience having been just this afternoon Flower shop.
But what snack to bring to pre-school? I figure something neat and portable and not prone to spoilage. Something not too junky, but yummy nonetheless and appealing to the little ones. Not one to be shy about asking for help, I sought guidance from little C’s teacher. Could I bring some chocolate chip cookies? I was thinking of these ones. They discourage chocolate though, so that was out. Although, hmmm, I do seem to remember one of little C’s classmates chomping on some Hello Panda. And then there was that one day that I found fruit loops in her bag – not chocolate to be sure cube organizers, but a wee bit lower on the food chain than homemade chocolate chip cookies don’t you think?
Anyway. I am not going to complain because I love little C’s teachers. They are the sweetest things, as I imagine all pre-school teachers must be. And I am, in truth, grateful that the school espouses healthful eating, while, at the same time SKI TRIP, is not too boot-campish about it.
So…what to make? This.
Brown Sugar Cookies
(adapted from Joy the Baker)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl. Set aside.
- Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat on medium speed for one minute more.
- Add the dry ingredients, all at once, to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until the dough begins to come together and the flour disappears. Stop the mixer and finish incorporating the ingredients with a spatula or wooden spoon. Once all the flour is thoroughly mixed in, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or transfer to a sealed container if your mixer bowl, like mine, does not fit into the fridge).
- After chilling, scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Place on a parchment-line cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and cool on the pan for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will last, in an airtight container at room temperature, for up to 5 days.
The recipe calls for 30 minutes of chilling but I have actually both chilled these overnight, and not at all, and both batches came out well. I adjusted the original recipe somewhat – I lessened the ginger only because I was nervous about ginger and pre-schoolers. I also decreased the baking soda because the first batch I made, with the full 2 teaspoons, had a slight soapy aftertaste (and the lessening did not seem to have any ill effects on the cookies).
If you’d like to make this for your child to take to school, but are busy with work, just prepare the dough the night before (it comes together in a snap I promise you) and bake it the next morning before leaving.
These make for a perfect snack -- school or otherwise. They are much like chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate, which some may find a bit tragic, but the cinnamon and ginger make this a cookie in its own right. Plus, I love brown sugar. Use the darkest you can find! The cookies are fantastic with coffee or tea and, I am certain, although I have yet to try it, they would be excellent with some good vanilla ice cream.
I couldn’t conduct a post-cookie survey with the pre-schoolers so I will just take the sparse remains left in little C’s snack container to be a positive review!

Off to Bicol for the weekend!
I am off to Bicol for a weekend away with my best friend K! We’ll be visiting Albay (Legaspi City) and Naga City…yes, the same place C went for business not too long ago when he brought me back this wonderful stash of goodies . I’ll be sure to return the favor this weekend :)
I’m SO excited because:
- This will be my first time in Bicol…and I’m always excited to see places for the first time, especially cities and towns in the Philippines that I haven’t yet explored.
- We’ll be checking out the Peñafrancia Festival, the feast of Our Lady of Peñafrancia, the patroness of Bicol. I love festivals open a company in hong kong!
- We will also be visiting Linyon Hill, the Cagsawa Ruins, Daraga Church, and the black-sand beaches in Sto. Domingo…and I will finally see our perfect cone – Mayon Volcano!
- I’m sure there will be lots of delicious food to eat and delectable treats to bring home.
- Weekend jaunt with best girl friend = non-stop fun and adventure = fabulous times!
Now, what does the picture have to do with Bicol massage therapy? Nothing really…although I’m sure they do have labanos (radish) over there. It's just a little hint of what I’ll be posting about soon!
Happy weekend everyone :)
