The perfect equation

Winter vacation! It’s been a week, but I always need that one week to fully switch to vacation mode. I was so through with any semblance of a ‘study-mode’ by my last exam, but to think that productive urge came two days late — strange thing that the one or two days after finals, I always feel the urge to study, to make notes, and all that crazy productive stuff, isn’t it?
So, what better way to counter that productive urge with something fun, right? I semi-solved my dilemma of liking cake because I like to look at cake with handmade cakes made of felt and thread! I stumbled upon these at a popular Korean stationery store a month ago, and I ended up making a banana cake (top left), and a green tea cake (top right). Aren’t they cute? There’s also a huge gallery of these handmade sweets by someone in Japan!
On food: I recently tried Poptarts! Everyone in the Western world is probably thinking “Poptarts? Big deal!” Well, it is! They discontinued them in Australia years ago before I ever got curious enough to try them. But reminiscing over Gilmore Girls1, made me want to try them, so I had to opt for the imports. I ended up paying the price of half a box (of 6, I think, in America), for one! But they were the s’mores flavor and quite novel, indeed.
But now, I’m completely in vacation mode! I’ve been vegetating by watching insane amounts of TV. In three days, I’ve whizzed through four years of How I Met Your Mother. I like Ted. I’m not sure why ‘cause he’s way too much of a cheesy romantic for me, but maybe because he’s an architect, and that appeals to the side of me that discarded that ‘dream’. And in 2 days, I’ve caught up on the last year of Two And a Half Men. House and Scrubs and The Big Bang Theory, I watch episode by episode as they air. I’m convinced my brain’s gone completely to sleep, considering watching television uses less brain than sleeping.
How has your winter (or summer!) been, so far?
