Something else happened too. I did bake my very first cake &#8211; <em>chocolate cake<\/em> &#8212; but NO! to ask me to post a photo of it will be crime &#8211; the world need not see how un-cake it looks like but luckily it tasted worth to accompany my afternoon peppermint tea.\u00a0<em>Thank God for ready mix, hah! Thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bettycrocker.com\/products\/supermoist-cakes\">Betty Crocker<\/a>! <\/em>but hey,\u00a0I took a great effort (<em>literally sweat!<\/em>) in mixing the eggs, butter and water! I even experimented on my very own <em>ganache<\/em>! when i say the word &#8216;<em>ganache<\/em>&#8216;, i feel like a <del>trying-hard<\/del>\u00a0pastry chef already! so i think I deserve a little credit.

Her own 3 words were:\u00a0<em>fun, fresh and editorial<\/em>. As soon as you visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jasminestarblog.com\/\">her website<\/a>, you know exactly what she&#8217;s talking about.<\/p>\n<p>So I had scrambled a few words on my head and decided what my 3 words were.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>spirited, inspiring and poetic.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Those 3 words I shall thrive for and aspire to learn every chance I get. or die trying.<\/p>\n<p>I will officially mark my 3rd year in photography this coming November and for that\u00a0I am eternally grateful that I am able to continue doing what I love doing &#8211; documenting life and love stories.
