THE COOKING BLOG IS NOW A REALITY

Dearest readers, my cooking blog is now a reality (http://cookbookfairy.blogspot.co.uk/). The first recipe was successful, the first post was written and published and unfortunatelly for my diet the first cake has been fully consumed. My LDNboy marked it as EXFUSSELENT *mouthful remark* that makes even the strongest hearts melt!
 I suggest you try it, too. Whether for your own pleasure, or for family and friends, my Midnight Cake with Cocktail Cherries is mouthwatering! I am overly excited for this new project!!!

Always yours!

COMMITMENTS

SO there it is: 6th January 2015. Almost a week in the new year and still no sign of that "Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!" Slipping or not slipping, ladies and gentlemen I am still me and I am still adventurous as my situation allows me to.

Recently I have began to think about volunteering with UNICEF or some other organization just make sure I am indeed being a better person, so far though I haven gathered the guts to give myself to volunteering. What is wrong with me, people?! I think it is the being really useful part that scares the shit(excuse the language) out of me. I have been a volunteer before: for the Red Cross and for Special Olympics and other organizations, but then I was less, lets face it selfish and I was less aware of time and how it should be spend... Now I hear the clock every time when I feel like doing something fun, or something that really requires dedication. And volunteering is really about dedication. 

Why is it that as we get older we cannot commit anymore?

 

THREE DAYS

IT  has taken me three days, couple of hours and endless answering to e-mails to realize I have entered a new stage in my life. I am about to finish the first quarter of my life and that scares the shit out of me(excuse the language)!

I remember when I was 13 years old and though 25 year-old were ancient members of society... And now that I am so close to hitting the 25th birthday I consider myself unchanged and, well, not wiser at all. Still the same smile whispers from the mirror every morning, and still the same eyes look at the coffee at 8am. And darn it I ain't a superhero... I haven't achieved the awesomeness of glowing in the dark or flying at the speed of light. although, I have a drivers licence and I can legally drink... With that part I am doing mighty fine... I am frozen at level 13. The other day in a shop they asked to show ID to buy a pack of cigarettes? 

Well, that has to be good, right? In the name of Holy Vanity I am immortal! Be jealous: Chocolate and Whisky shall preserve my looks until I am fifty. Muahahahaha  

But, my mind does have its loops... Blame it on my general absentmindedness or age but I forgot to share with you my future plans for starting a sister blog to LDN GIRL (with its new name
‪# LDN GIRL). It will be Food blog about my cooking, or may be a pyromaniac statement, if I manage to blow up the kitchen somehow *looking totally angelic*. Follow me on Facebook for the news around this new blog and keep your fingers crossed I don't erase London from the face of the Earth.

Always yours, with a spoon in hand

P.S.

Share your thoughts on the new look of my blog ;)

2014 OVERVIEW

IT has been one of the longest years of my humble life, and yet it was filled with every color of the emotional spectrum. Love, hate, dissapointment, happiness, dispair, worry... I lost a couple of friends on the way, gained some new, scored some successful achievements and changed a couple of postcodes and countries. I learned a lot of lessons and a year later I consider myself not wiser, but more patient. 

A positively awesome lady, with whom I work told me "Patience, my dear, is all you need in life" and as I think about it I realize she was write. Even if you want to move castles, mountains and what not it will never happen unless the right moment has come. 

I am 24 years old now, only glimsed at the worlds treasures form the rims of old and new books.. I want to change and evolve and I have a few trustworthy and loving friends to help me. I might have given more to charity and less to business, but alas I am drawn to money. 

My new years resolutions are strange as they can be, but objective as possible:

1. Live healthier

2. Communicate with your friends more often

3. Don't bother about the ignorance of others

4. Dare yourself

5. Be kinder and more compationate

What are yours New Year's Resolutions, loved ones?

Always yours

A NEW HOME IS A NEW BEGINNING they say

 

IT has been a week since your beloved LDN Girl changed her dwelling place. Her humble self now occupies a cosy bedroom on the second floor of in a three bedroom house in the lovely area of Gants Hill. Close to various shops, cafes and mostly pubs she finally feels at peace. It is not with regret that she remembers the days spend in Brussels with one of her most beloved and admittedly craziest friends of all… the ladiest ladybug of them all, but with love and betraying giggles of remembrance!

 But today I will not write about my homesickness ( if my friends defy my home) but of my newest adventure which included decoration, cleaning and most of all saving myself from a shower of squirrels who are now the friendly occupants of my backyard. I shall not even think of the aggrieving way in which I was forced out of my old “home”. People with thin souls make me sad, but it is to their loss not to mine.

 So there it goes. My charming new home has everything but book shelves and lots and lots of candles, but soon amends will be made. The last two days I devoted to refurbishing and decorating and in two days’ time my faithful knight in shining armour would help me to build my own bookshelves to fill with the adventures of other heroes and heroines, for now, I am doomed satisfy my hunger for dreams with movies and with books from the library. I have been reading about witches and moths and had given one too many nights to modern drama and of course philosophy of making popcorn with extra butter.

 I joined the nearest library and the medical centre just in case the neighbours want to keep my insanity under strict observation and not the least I have trained myself in the mysterious art of lock-changing and fixing toasters, and fridges. What can I say I am a bitch, I’m a lover, I’m a warrior, I’m a mechanic, I’m a painter, I’m a cleaner… I do not feel ashamed! And what is more I have bettered myself in losing my way around East London. Although the close vicinity of Valentines Park tempts me to lose my way around the park I still do not possess the courage to do so by myself.

 I did some jogging and I have put my mind on swimming again, but one step at a time… Do not rush me into life… Have patience as my life goes more and more exciting…

So here I am:

Same LDN Girl

Different post code

Ever thine

Ever mine

Ever ours

I HAVE TAKEN UP CARTOONS :P

LAPTOPLESS TO LAPTOPFUL

THERE is nothing I love more than a rainy day. And luckily enough London has a lot to offer on that bit :) It is the only time when I get to cuddle guiltless with a book and tea and have some me time. And I admit, almost proudly,  I have embezzled my coach for quite a while recently... I am a villain, a scoundrel and mostly a book addict, sue me!

Yes, yes, I know there would be a lot of scolding on your behalf, because it has been ages since I last blogged, but please, bear with me for a while until I tell you my latest and my not so fresh stories from the last couple of weeks. 

No longer than to two days after my last blog, my laptop - my dear, poor, old Chekhov (don't laugh it is one of my peculiarities: I name my technology and you are in no need to hear how I named my camera and my phone) fell under the vicious spell of a virus and lost all its video, internet and audio drivers. As a person devoted to her online activities it is surprising to admit that I took it quite calmly. I didn't rush fixing the damn machine, because I decided to embark on a journey of simple living, away from technology and closer to nature and people.

I am not a sociopath you know, I do love communicating and mingling, occasionally. Besides as the end of October was approaching I was all excited about my first Halloween here - pumpkin carving, Supernatural marathon, cupcake baking and of course the casual Trick or Treating. Nothing magical or extraterrestrial, I promise, but I ended up with a new hair color and plans for transforming myself into a pink-haired mystical book lover, or better yet a librarian.

I haven't gone totally bonkers, have I? I do admit having one too many hot chocolate drinks, but still I am pretty sure sugar has no hold on my brains, yet :D

And now almost a month later I am back to "normal" and catching up with my cyber-self and most of all continuing with my blog. The one thing I am really pleased with from my month away is that I finally got back on track with my sleeping habits. I am no longer an owl, I am a regularly sleeping gal.

So this is it, my friends. Keep following my blog for more of the stories of a LDN Girl with a working laptop...

xoxo
