34, Avenue Foch

What another hot day for us in the Philippines, noh? I mean how much more heat could we take. I am literally sweating like a pig last afternoon. I could even get a decent siesta in this heat so instead I watched the new episode of Glee!!! on ETC (which I think was heart warming and heartfelt). My gosh!!! On an odd twist, it rained later but it's still damn hot in my room that it feels like a sauna room. Oh well . . . (sarcastic tone start) perks of living in the Phil . . . (sarcastic tone end)

I am currently lounging around my messy room typing on this laptop while watching Tyra on ETC talking about ODDS (really Tyra!!! Nonetheless it's fun TV) and the ODDS of me stumbling on an interesting topic in the interwebs is 1:1 (I totally made that up), like this video showcasing the Autumn 2010 collection of Miu Miu with models Lindsay Wixson, Mariacarla Boscono, Samantha Gradovile, and Anais Pouliot portraying ghosts at 34, Avenue Foch for AnOther Magazine.

The video personally feels like the bicycle/hallway scene in The Shining.

Creepy Shit!!! I should not really be watching these kinds of videos this late at night - 1:02 AM!!! It creeps the shit out of me. Now the little bumps and noises disturb. Oh well . . .

LATER!!!

Cupcake Comebacks

Been on a hiatus since February because of the many projects and activities that I have been busy with because of college.

I am currently at my room sitting at the foot of my bed with the laptop in front of me thinking of clever things to say on this blog while watching a rerun of Gossip Girl's episode last week - The Unblairable Lightness of Being, on ETC. Oh well, what a tiring and sweltering hot summer this has become and to beat the summer heat is to stay cool by creating delectable desserts like CUPCAKES!!!

I have been a secret aspiring foodie and chef, showcasing my cooking (dare I say it) prowess to my family and the dishes that they enjoyed (hopefully) were my desserts. In the past I did Choco Cakes, Panna Cottas, Fruit Cakes and cookies, now I would want to venture on creating cutesy cupcakes.

I recently stumbled upon Ming Makes Cupcakes, as Refinery29 would describe it: a veritable goldmine of cupcake porn you can salivate over and then attempt to recreate. It is truly a dessert lovers site aiming to recreate Cupcakes by Sonja. Ming doesn't only make cupcakes he also makes cookies and savory snacks for those with aversion to cupcakes.

Just look at these delectable delights, aren't they scrumptious!

Makes me want to make some right now but unfortunately its getting late (2:00 in the morning!!!) and I'm dozing off.

LATER!!!! =D

Love's Soldier

Sade Adu, the frontwoman of the band Sade, has one of the most soulful voice in the music industry since her band's 1985 debut, Diamond Life, which captured my fancy through the soulful smooth jazz classic - Smooth Operator,

to the sensual soul classic No Ordinary Love, from their fourth studio album - Love Deluxe,

and one of the sweetest love songs - By Your Side from their fifth album, Lovers Rock.

Now Sade comes with their six album, Soldier of Love, featuring the eponymous lead single, Soldier of Love

As always, Sade is always graceful and elegant and still a beautiful woman even after all these years. This new single is a new path that Sade took and we are just more than happy to take the ride with her and enjoy the richness of the new sound. She is clearly never fading and is still as passionate as her Diamond Life days.

Peace&Love,
Corti♥

PS: Watch the vids now. . . Sony is taking down videos specifically her latest single Soldier of Love. PleaseandThankYou Ü

First Post of the Year

I've been really busy and really lazy to update my blog lately for the past four months because of the really crazy things that had happened during the second term. Let me get you up to speed with what had happened in my life during the past four months:

1. I had my birthday during the 12th of November last year, turning 17 in the process.
   
2. I'm at my third term but I failed two of my subjects: DISCTRU and COMPRO2.
3. Mom had her chemotherapy and radiation treatment for her recovery from breast cancer and is recently trying to live a life of an ordinary person by trying to walk through the help of physical therapists.
4. Bade goodbye to 2009 and welcomed 2010 . . . Hoping for GREAT things to come!!!

Anyway, just did a new blog (this one!!!) because I got bored with the old one and got a new blog with a new cute banner which is, I think, is an antithesis of what I might post to this blog. Since I still want people to read my old blogs I still copied my old entries to make it look like I blog much last year (LOL, whut??!!!).

Just enjoy this one because I promise to blog more.

Peace&Love,
Corti♥
