Creative side of imagination

“Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.” ~ Eddie Cantor    This last few months I definitely should have slowed down but I didn't. So it was only a matter of time when something bad would happen to me. And it did. Now I have all the time on the world to reflect where it went wrong. I admit that I am sometimes or actually all the time a little stubborn. When I get something in my head that I want to do I need to do it and nothing can stop me. For certain things that is a great trait but it can also be the trait that gets you into trouble. I experienced that on my own skin.       As always I was planning a few projects that I wanted to do in next couple of weeks but I knew I had limited time. Therefore I had to stick to my schedule or it wouldn't work. I had an exam coming rapidly and some errands to carry out. With all this determination and enthusiasm I lost ...

They say December is the busiest month of the year but I think that the title should definitely go to May and June respectively. Well especially if you're a student. I have intended to write some new posts, publish new installments of the novel for which I already have the outline of the story, do some home improvement work, etc. As you can see nothing happened yet due to the lack of time. Even though I am in the gap year I still have one exam that will make my next few weeks a living hell. Yep, Sociology exam. Something you'll never need in life or career. At least not me. So to remind myself what I need to do in the next month or so I made a to do list. It's practical and useful, if you have overcrowded mind like me. And since it's on the blog I won't be able to throw it in the trash or misplace it. Here it is. The only thing I need now is MOTIVATION. Lots of it.                   ...

  Since it's already the time for barbecues and picnics I couldn't resist to try the recipe for homemade marshmallows. It tastes like heaven even though it takes a while to be made. I had two recipes in my hand. One in Slovene ( Kulinarika.net )   and one in English ( seriouseats.com ). I chose American recipe since it was more precise. I simplified it a little. You can find photo tutorial on this link: How to Make Marshmallows . Here you have it ;)  Utensils: - Baking pan/tray - 4 cups - Whisk - Kitchenware - 2 Bowls - Electric mixer - Foil - Chopping board - Kitchen knife - Small offset spatula    Ingredients: - ½ cup confectioners sugar - 1 teaspoon butter - 1 cup water, divided - 2 cups granulated sugar - Two ¼-ounce packets of unflavored powdered gelatin (about 5 teaspoons) - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or other flavouring) - 3 large egg whites (at room temperature) - pinch of salt The Meth...

Chocolate is one of the many things I love so I decided to try a recipe for brownies this week. It's fairly simple, quick (it takes 30 minutes all together) and delicious. Let me just say that they went as fast as they were made. I got the recipe from the site called Okusno.je . It's written in slovene (all my fellow Slovenians can get it with just a click on the link). For those who don't speak slovene here is the recipe. Utensils: - Saucepan - Weighing scales - Bowl - 2 Spoons (one for the melting chocolate and one for mixing ingredients) - Baking pan/tray - Dish - Electric mixer Ingredients (for 12 people; for 6 people just use half of the ingredients quantity): - 250   g butter - 250   g dark chocolate - 2 cl rum (I used 1 shot-glass) - 250   g brown or white sugar - 10   g vanilla sugar - 180   g flour - 50   g cocoa powder - 5 eggs (in case you're making it for 6 people use 3 eggs) - 20   g b...

         Lately I have noticed that there's a lot of negativity around me and it has taken its toll on me. Sure, in my life a lot of things that happened were somewhat negative, some positive but at the time I didn't realize it. I was just a little kid after all. But now, especially in my gap year, I started to see clearly how life can give you highs and lows. I guess it's a part of growing up. In order to be somebody better, to gain certain achievements you have to be able to face all the obstacles on the way. And I am completely OK with that. The only thing I can't wrap my head around is why do I need to feel miserable in the process. I used to be a lot happier, lively and sociable person than I am now just few years back. What changed?       I changed, society did, relationships did. It's just hard to grasp all that in, meanwhile figuring out what you are and what your life path should be. That's the sort of thing grown ups don't tell yo...

First of all I need to apologize for posting this instalment so late. I wanted to post it in February but things got a little hectic and I really didn't have much time. Nevertheless I hope you'll enjoy reading it and if you like it you can leave me comment below. :)   Just when I thought I wouldn't have nightmares anymore they came back for more. Events of these past days occupied my mind. There were no answers to my questions. And the person that could give them is nowhere to be found. It makes me nervous, uncertain what should I do. Do I trust her? Should I wait and not jump to conclusions. If I would only knew the reason behind her disappearance. I guess time will tell. I can't lie to others where my mom is anymore. But especially I can't lie to myself.     It was the fourth night I spent in a house alone wondering what will happen next. Neighbours already became suspicious but I managed to convince them that mom is on a business trip. I hated it. I ...
