Clear and
sunny. My parents went out to visit their friends and leave me alone here, in
the house. The boredom for being left alone made me want to clean my room. I’ve
been so busy lately with all my classes and assignments that I neglected my
room. And, when I start cleaning my room, I end up cleaning the whole place.
Cleaning…..and cleaning….and without me noticing, my things started to get
cluttered. Cleaning does bring us unexpected surprise sometimes. I discovered a
lot of memorable things that I kept, letters I got from my friends,
hand-me-down from my mom, my online discovery, my first purchase at the flea
market as a student. All this reminiscence made me craved something sweet. Chocolate
chip muffin sounds good, right?
The
ingredients that we need are butter, egg, flour, sugar, yoghurt and chocolate
chips. Melt the butter and mixed with the milk. Pour the sugars right into that
bowl and whisk a little to bring it together. Then, add the eggs and yogurt and
give them a whisk. It will turn to a nice homogenous, fluid mixture. Pour this
nice mixture into the flour and give it a whisk again until it was combined.
And now it’s time for the chocolate. I put as many chocolate chips as I desired
and bake them in a hot oven.
The waiting
time made me visualize that if I ever lived in a huge, magnificent castle, I’d
have all my favourite things placed around me. But, in this castle I lived now,
my countless ‘favourite things’ can only be stored on one set of shelves.
There’s no way that’s possible to keep all my ‘favourite things’. My bountiful
love is spilling over.
Now, I need
to find a new home for the ‘favourites’ that won’t fit. There’s a limit to how
much I can store here, but this packed space lets me be myself without ever
changing. On the other hand, if I make space, I can also fill it with new
‘favourites.’ I’m not saying it’s better either way, but keeping some spaces
blank might’ve looked cool, too. There’s some space I my castle now. Let’s
discover more ‘favourites’ to bring home.
