Life is gooood

I' ve been saving up money for months now. And I've been sowing seeds, and just praying hard to get a new Canon 50mm 1.4. 

After all the hard work and not-spent money, and a harvest here and there, I finally saved up enough to pay for half of it! See, I had this deal with my Dad; I'll come up with half of the money, and he'll pay for the other half. And it just so happens that my Dad was going to Hong Kong for his Staff out-of-the-country trip. IT WAS PERFECT!!

So I gave him the cash, and just prayed that there would be a more agreeable price in Hong Kong, so that my Dad would definitely have to get it. Lol!

Anyway! Later in the day of their departure, my Dad called me up just to make sure he was getting the right type. And he said that it was cheaper there!! I WAS SO HAPPY!!!!!

3 days later, they came back home and... Drum roll please...

Hello Beautiful.

UNBOXING (cause I see people on YouTube do this. Lol)

The next day, I did a little mini photo-shoot with chico because he deserves it.

The lens is just what I hoped it would be. I'm itching to do a photoshoot now!!! 

I'm just so happy, and God is just so amazing I can't thank Him enough. My Dad too <3 I love you Daddy!

Colourful Cupcakes (how to)

 Today I baked colourful cupcakes and I'm going to show you how I did it! I had a little help from TheDaintySquid's blog post about colourful cupcakes. Now, I don't know what happened but this batch of cupcakes turned out really weird tasting. It tasted like this Filipino pastry we have here, its called Puto and its a sort of Filipino Cupcake. It would've been great, if I was making Puto, but I wasn't! I have GOT to work on my cake skills. Its weird cause the funfetti cupcakes turned out great! Well, I did double this batch.. Maybe that was the problem? I don't know.

Anyway, for the recipe just get your ordinary box of cake mix and use those instead. After mixing the batter up, separate them in 4 bowls or more if you're using more colours. I'm using Red, Blue, Green, and Violet. Just add 4-5 drops depending on how dark you want the colour to be.

After you've mixed the food colouring into the batter, line your cupcake tin with paper liner and slowly layer in each of the colours into the paper liner like so:

Bake for 15-20 mins at 350F depending on how much batter you put in. Since I put a lot in, it was 20 mins for me. But just keep checking with a tester to be sure. If it comes out clean, then its ready to be taken out.

And there you go! :)

Aren't they pretty? :)

So while the interweb went out last night, I decided to make a layout that I'd want for my article:

 

Since their layout in the magazine isn't my style I just wanted to see what my style would look like. And I really like it! I'd love to send it to them but I don't want to put them in a bad position of turning me down if ever! And I don't want to give their layout person a hard time so...

ANNDD Before I go

DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!

woo hoo!

Happy Friday!
