Coke, Cup Cake, Cold ....


We had a very bad weather last week , heavy storm everyday for almost a week. Most schools , offices were closed, and most people went to grocery store to prepare the very bad scenario . That was a bad situation that I can remember during 6 years ... Thanks GOD, nothing happen in our area. Feel sad for some who became victims of crazy weather

But today, we have a very clear sky , warm enough to go out side just wearing a light jacket and feel almost like a spring until 7 days latter . I took my daughter to shopping mall today, oh NO .. !! I forgot is only 2 days before valentine's day. The mall so packed !! people busy shopping for valentine's Day. Well.. well..well, not me ! :D I don't really care about the event. But I still want to share the nice recipe that you can make for your beloved one for valentine's Day :D
