Baking

I love baking. It's like therapy for me besides drawing. I love to feel flour on my palms and I don't mind getting dough underneath my fingernails.

Baking always makes me feel calm and happy. It's rejuvenating in a way that's hard to explain and there's real satisfaction in it too, especially at the end of the day when I have tried a new technique or created something entirely on my own.

My passion for baking started when I was still a little girl and I would sit at the edge of the kitchen table while my grandmother baked delicious cakes for me. I would pay attention to all the little details that she would make as she baked.

I was amazed by how eggs, milk, sugar, flour and a few other ingredients could create something so delicious. When I was little, I saw it as if it was almost like magic! It's incredible.

Handmade Notebook

I made my first notebook ever! I followed a simple tutorial video on YouTube and I'm quite happy with the result. What else can I do during this boring self-quarantine though? I need a new small notebook but the malls are close due to the large-scale social restrictions that has been implemented in my city so I can't go anywhere to get a new one.

I'm so happy and so proud of myself that I can make something instead of buying. Everybody knows that buying things is easy, but I think making them yourself is more fun! I think it‘s gonna be a good idea to open my own handmade notebook store, haha. Joke.

I know, this is just a simple notebook. It looks messy. I don't have paper cutting machine, paper trimmer or anything like that. My handmade notebook is so nothing compared to those fancy notebooks you find at any stationery store in the mall, but I'm very proud of myself that I can actually make my own notebook. It's my first time making my own notebook and I'm so happy how it turns out. Hehe.

Oke. That's it for today. I hope you have a good day.

Bunnies

Oh, wow! It has been a few months since my last update. I am really not a good blogger, hehe. There are times when I want to post something but too lazy to do so. You see, consistency is my biggest problem here. 

Anyway, how are you during the Covid-19 outbreak? So far there's been no lockdown in Indonesia though people have been urged to work from home and not visit malls, restaurants, parks, and not to travel at all unless it's essential. 

There's a Starbucks near my house. People are still going out and hanging out with their buddies there like we're having no issue at all 😐 

I read somewhere that Starbucks in US is remained open for customers purchasing takeout only to reduce the spread of the corona virus. But not here. I guess many of us still don't take this whole situation seriously.

Drawing Is My Therapy

Halo. How are you? 

Ever since I was little, I always like to draw because it's fun to me. Drawing always works to make me feel relaxed and forget all my problems for a while. It's like my other way to express my feelings beside blogging. 

Actually, drawing has helped me through difficult times to cope with my anxiety in ways I can't put into words. When I draw, I feel like I get lost in my own little world, where the only two things that exist are the subject of my drawing and me. 

It feels so good to let my imagination go on a piece of paper. It's a really fun way to kill time. I could spend hours just to draw one subject. I would rather choose  drawing than going out somewhere with some friends. Haha, weird? Wait, do I even have friends?

Chocolate Candies

Halo, thank you so much for the comments on my last post. Some of you write a very long comment and I appreciate that you took the time to type it all down. It happened long ago but it still makes me feel very disappointed and sad sometimes, and reading your comments really made my day. 

Okay, so now let’s talk about something light. Mm, who loves chocolate? All we need is love, but hey, a little chocolate won’t hurt, right? Why, they say chocolate is actually good for your heart and and it lifts your mood too. Now, can you beat that? 

I've always loved chocolate so much and I really enjoy making them for friends and family! It's very relaxing and it's my escape from stress. I never thought that one day I’d really love and enjoy making chocolate as much as I love and enjoy eating them. Making chocolate is a new experience to me, and I must say it’s fun and exciting.
