DRUNK DRAMA

Bonjour à tous!

...and i made it as the same as the instruction, you better go see the video here and give it a shot!



Movin on...
Yesterday, Friday the 13th, notre amis à Paris were attacked with several immoral people and those attacks cost hundreds of death which is very devastating. Let's take a minute to reflect and pray for the victims and last but not least, let's pray for a better world with more understanding of the beauty that hides within the most dangerous thing that causes everlasting war and costs millions of death, it's none other than "difference". #prayforparis

Bonjour à tous! Salut!

BONJOUR À TOUS!

Currently in the middle of super busy week, hence the caps lock intro earlier. Last week was probably the most productive version of me ever since high school. That one event absorbed all my energy for the whole week, really, i'm not exaggerating anything, it really did. But, that one experience is worth pages and pages in my book of life.

Been 'mia' for the past two weeks. I have almost no time for making myself even a bowl of smoothie because of the crazy schedule. Uni starts showing its true self with all its sheez. I, somehow need to find my positivity back. (Don't you realize i mentioned "find my positivity back" too in the last post? Well i guess i just haven't my way back to the right path.)

This week also filled with lots of crazy homework and presentation which leads to me being super mia again and again. This post is also going to be a super short post because i need to open this ".ppt" again preparing myself to do the presentation tomorrow. Hah. Wish me tons of luck, s'il te plait!

Last but now least, showing my true intention of writing this post, here is the recipe for my Gluten Free Oat Pancakes with Banana-Cinnamon Sauce.


Ingredients:

Oat Pancakes
3 tbsp of oat flour (or any gluten free flour)
2 tbsp of palm sugar (or any natural sweetener)
1 egg
1/2 cup of soymilk
1 tsp of cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp of baking powder

Banana-Cinnamon Sauce
2 frozen bananas
1 tbsp of cinnamon powder

And this is how we roll..
1. Mix all the ingredients for pancakes all together until the right batter consistency.
2. Preheat the frying pan and spray some cooking spray or use a little olive oil to prevent the batter sticking on the pan.
3. Pour the batter on the frying pan.
4. For the sauce, you basically just mix the frozen nanas with cinnamon in the blender and you're done.
5. Stack all the pancakes and pour the sauce all over the pancakes. I sprinkled mine with some raisins and almonds.
6. Voila!

Bonjour à tous!

Whoa. It's already September. UNI has just started and all other stuffs following. Congratulation to you and i, college student, who are officially back to what-so-called reality. I just wanna congratulate any of you living in another side of the world where fall or spring are coming. Why? Because, here, it is incredibly hawt as it feels like not even coming to an end. And how do i cope with this crazy 33 degree Celsius weather? Nothing is more refreshing than a big bowl of smoothie, rite? rite?


Ooh yeah. This holy bowl consisted of 2 fruits which are probably already in your fridge. Yas, banana and papaya. And all you gotta do is freeze them overnight and thank me for having a bowl of thick and yam smoothie the next morning. You are very welcome.



Being a little "MIA" for a couple weeks because uni has just started and i'm just getting myself adjusted to this routine, kinda. Atm, i honestly have nothing much to say as my life is back to how it should be, uni - assignments - deadlines - AH. I somehow should find myself a way out of all the negativity. Time heals. Time is good. Yup.


And, in case you're wondering what are those toppings. It's just more nanas (yas, of course i put more nana on nana smoothie:) rolled oats, and cinnamon. YumYum.

Bonjour à tous!

Bonjour à tous!

People often ask others about one simple and very common topic, you name it, 'Dream'. When i got a question such as how do you see your future self in like 20 years. This kind of question is pretty hard to answer tho'. The best answer i am willing to give is none other than i picture myself with my little family live in a city where we are able to take a stroll with our puppy every single afternoon, have lunch by the river, and watch the sun sets in the balcony. AH.

This topic about dream often derails me from my main topic here, oh well, yesterday i made myself a breakfast with no intention of posting its recipe nor posting the photos here. I aimed to make myself a simple quick breakfast, but well it turned out pretty good. And here is the recipe, well it is so simple and it's just not worth called a recipe, but i'll write it any way #noshame #pride.

Oat Pancakes Tower


Serves 1 person. makes 6-7 mini pancakes.



Ingredients:
5 tbsp of oat flour
1 egg
3 tbsp of coconut sugar
1 tsp of baking soda
2 tsp of cinnamon powder
1 banana
2 tbsp of olive oil or organic butter
1/4 cup of water
Crushed raw almond

How...
1. Combine the oat flour, egg, coconut sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon powder in a bowl. Whisk until the batter is smooth. Add just enough water to make it a little more batter-consistency.

3. Pour in 1-2 tbsp of batter and swirl it around. Cook until you get that nice golden brown pancake.
4. Layer it with any of your favorite fruit, mine is banana. Of course.

6. Voila!

Bonjour à tous!

In the past few days, i've been spending most of my late afternoon sitting and looking at this mango tree planted in front of my house. Its age is as the same as the house's itself, 15 years, only 4 years younger than i am. Its leaves are still as green as the first time i put it in a small little pot. Even though it has never ever produced one sweet ripe yummy mango, this tree meant to me more hundred kilos of mango, oh well. As i take a look at this 15 years old tree, i can picture my 8 years old self sitting on the terrace floor hoping for one sweet ripe mango to fall down, that picture on my head still brings me to laughter up until now. I have never had any regrets towards the tree tho', i just wish i had planted one papaya tree instead.

Guess who had a half of one big papaya for brekie?
P.S. #PAPAYAPORN

Bonjour à tous!

Last eid Al-Fitry vacay, i made it to Bali. Stayed for about a week in eastern Bali with the big fam from my father's side, i got a chance to explore my own self and people, i also got a chance to talk and have those casual conversations with most of my relative that live in east Java.

As the trip went by, i found myself talking pretty often, much more than i have ever expected, which is such an achievement, sort of. Why an achievement? Nah, i'm not exaggerating anything. I used to be someone very stiff, oh well i still am, when it comes to chit-chatting with my relatives since i'm not the 'wishy-washy' type. I like it, the conversation, straight to the point. So, getting a chance to speak even more is such an achievement for me.

One day, i visited this one touristy spot for watching the sunsets. Seeing lots of people taking photos, including myself, my eyes got set on this one couple drinking and talking very casual. Coincidence or not, i overheard their conversation and the topic kinda amazed me. They were talking about every sunsets the have watched together and how grateful they are. Very simple? Yeah, but that is what amazed me. Overhearing a conversation about sun, earth, nature is such a bliss. I am kinda obsessed with the talking about nature, weather, bliss, etc. And hearing such a talk reminds me how grateful we should be. Another lesson learned, checked.
