relax


we all need a breather from our hectic lives once in a while. i guess this was the day i didn't do anything productive at all, but i had fun simply being accompanied with my own thoughts :) 






Chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies:
4 fistful of oats (processed into oat flour) (it should be one serving / half a cup of oats!), 15 almonds (processed into almond butter), one square of chocolate bar, & an egg :) 
If you want it to be more chewy, you can always leave the batter in the fridge for a while!

I didn't add any sugar because I used 90% chocolate and there's already some sugar inside. But you can add sugar/honey into the recipe if you want to :)

i miss being in the water where the only voices i heard were the ones in my head




The Silver Linings Playbook was... hmm, I'll give it a 7/10, the book focused more on Pat's psychiatric issues as well as the relationship between him and his family. There were some moments in the book which were really good and quote worthy like the ones I've posted, but I feel that there was a lack of interaction between Pat (the main character) and his 'romantic interest' Tiffany until the end of the book!  I guess that they focus on it more in the movie, and the story line is a bit different, so I'm quite excited to watch it :)
