The Patient Love


Both of them are on the same age,
Living with friends in the Leaf village
The bravest and cutest ninja in Konoha
And the shy heiress from the clan of Hyuuga

His laughter and smiles save her
Showing him love like no other
Her confessions that she heartily say,
Shocked his very soul in a special way
"Never giving up",is what he believes
Loving with a fair heart is how she lives
He wants to love and be loved,
And "Love",is what she deserves to have

Others claimed that NaruSucku rocks
Not knowing how Sakura sucks
I just hope that in the end they'll see
That Naruto and Hinata are meant to be.

Magnolia Chocolate Pancake

     Last week my sister bought 2 boxes of Magnolia Pancake Plus, I don't know what's with her because we don't usually cook pancakes at home although we love it. 

       Pancakes are eaten all over the world. You can even find a lot of pancake recipes around. Pancakes are a type of flat sweet bread enjoyed by different people of different culture. 

     Pancake recipes vary too, but all have the same basic ingredients of flour, eggs and milk. It's always up to you if you want to add any toppings, but surely pancakes are always enjoyable to eat especially if I'm the one who made it. 

       Today I will share to you how my sister and I made our Magnolia Chocolate Pancakes. We love Magnolia Pancake Mix because it produces aromatic and buttery results. Plus, they are also really affordable and easy to find in different supermarkets here in the Philippines. This recipe will also serve as a step-by-step guide for you if you haven't tried making one.

1. Prepare all ingredients and materials needed. 
Ingredients:
  • One box of Magnolia Pancake plus ( contains a NO NEED TO SIFT powder mixture and a free Chocolate syrup. 
  • One large egg (not necessarily needed but my sister wanted to add one so)
  • Cooking oil (if you want to go for a healthier option, you may use olive oil)
  • One-two cups of water
Cooking materials:
  • frying pan
  • one large bowl
  • whisk/fork



2. In a large bowl, mix the powder mixture with the egg and water. Blend it all together with a whisk or a fork until everything is just combined. Once the lumps are gone, you're ready to go.







3. Heat your frying pan to a medium low flame. This is important to avoid burning your pancakes. Then add small amount of cooking oil in your frying pan. Be sure to add small amount of cooking oil or a pat of butter so the pancakes won't stick.

4. Drop your desired amount of pancake mixture in the pan. Wait till the pancakes turn golden brown. Make sure both sides are cooked. Viola! Your pancake is done :)

5. Once your pancakes are cooked, you may now add you desired toppings. In our case, we added chocolate syrup as our toppings. It's included in the Magnolia Pancake Plus package.
Here's what our pancakes looked like:

   This time, you may now enjoy your pancakes. I hope this post will help you if you're planning to make some. Pancakes are always simple and yummy.Plus, it's very affordable and easy to prepare. Let me know your favorite toppings and if you could, share to me your pancake recipes.
Thanks for reading!

love lots,
Tin

Lana Del Rey


Lana Del Rey Illustration by me :)


Unfinished business.lol. Painted the hair first after I did the sketch.
It's my first time to use watercolor on my illustrations.I was a bit afraid I'd mess up the whole thing but I'm glad I didn't :) It turned out the way I want it to be.The result seems okay to me.hehe
If you're not familiar/if you have no idea who Lana Del Rey is, she's an American singer-songwriter. Just heard a song from her last December. Thought it was nice and yes,she's pretty. So when I looked at her,I knwo exactly what I have to do-->make a portrait of her! I don't know why but I find it much easier to draw girls with Caucasian features.lol.There's a lot of portrait of her all over the net but I hope you like mine. hehehe

My favorite Lana Del Rey soundtrack is "Born To Die". It sounds so tiring but it suites my taste in music :D
plus, she's so pretty in the music video wearing her hair wreath and retro inspired make-up.

Have you heard a song from her? If you do, what's your favorite?
