apricot jam and late posts D:

Ugh. So I've been sick for the past few days (I still am, but I'm a lot better than before, trust me!) and haven't been able to post anything...yikes! There's this terrible bug going around - and it hasn't just reached my school. My friends from other schools are all sick, too! And my sister said that all of her friends have some type of cold/flu/sore throat/the works, too. Anyway, I'm just glad that I've been able to return to a semi-functional state. C: 

On to my newest addiction: apricot jam. Okay, so it really isn't a "new" addiction, but today I realized that I like apricot jam more than I ever did before. It's just been a while since I've had REAL jam in a long time - my mom insisted on getting this low-sugar jam that was quite ... interesting ... so it came as a real surprise to me when she came home with ACTUAL JAM. YAY MOM! :D 

Since I'm sick and all, I can't go around stuffing myself with food like I usually do ... which sucks. But! Since my throat is better today, I decided to have some tea and toast. Fun fact: I love my PBJs, but I've never been a strawberry jam kind of girl -  APRICOT JAM FTW! So yeah. Milk tea + peanut butter and apricot jam toast = the best food I've had for 2 days. Seriously. I've been eating nothing but noodles and soup for the past two days, and for a fatty like me, it was nearly unbearable. Even though my mom makes some killer (asian) soups. 

Here's some eye candy. I found it off of one of my favourite dessert/food/cake tumblr things. Yummy! And it fits in with the apricot jam theme :3

Last note - I'm writing for my school's magazine ... newspaper ... thing, and the theme for October is "Alter Ego". You know, getting into Halloween early and all that. Sounds really interesting, doesn't it? Yeah! It does! I want to do something interesting, not your typical "I have a twin" drabble or "Jekyll and Hyde" story. You know? I've got a few ideas stored up in my brain somewhere, but I'm still looking for a few. I'll probably post the thing once I end up writing it. Could be never. Sometimes I'm not satisfied with ideas and decide to scrap them before I write them. 

Ja ne!
