Hi sweeties~! ♥
By the way, I also helped my cousin to make crumbled-cake cupcakes. Just simply add white or dark cooking chocolate (we used both) little by little to your crumbled cake as you mix it together until it's solid enough and can be easily formed. That's it. =)
Ok, back to Brownie Truffle...
Brownie Truffles
Ingredients:
- 1 pan (13x9) brownies, baked and cooled
- 1/3 strawberry jam
- 450 grams dark cooking chocolate
- powdered sugar
Preparation:
1. Crumble the brownies into a large bowl, working it with your fingers until it is in small pieces.
2. Add 1/3 cup of jam, stir with a spoon until it is well-mixed and the brownie dough is smooth, without chunks of dry brownie anywhere. If your brownies were very dry to begin with, add a little more jam until the texture is smooth and holds together when you squeeze it into a ball. However, do not make your brownie dough too wet or soggy.
3. Scoop round spoonfuls of brownie dough and place them on a baking sheet covered with foil or waxed paper. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes, or until they are quite firm.
4. Once the balls are firm, melt the dark cooking chocolate in the microwave, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating.
5. Using a fork, dip a brownie ball into the melted chocolate until it is completely submerged. Bring it out of the chocolate and place it back on the foil-covered baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining balls and chocolate.
6. Roll the chocolate-covered ball in powdered sugar.
7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to fully set the chocolate, for about 20 minutes. Brownie Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Found this from candy.about.com with some changes =)

The movie tells the development of the improbable friendship between Philippe, a wealthy tetraplegic, and Driss, a young offender of Senegalese descent, who is hired as his live-in carer. (wiki)
(youtube.com)
Touching, that's it.
You will not believe how the movie controls you, make you cry and laugh. It is so nice to see them together and their friendship grows each time. They change each other to be a better one and have fun together.
A really beautiful movie, indeed! So, what are waiting for? Go find it somewhere and enjoy ;)

Spirited Away (千と千尋の神隠し Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, "The Spiriting Away of Sen and Chihiro") is a 2001 Japanese animated fantasy-adventure film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. The film tells the story of Chihiro Ogino, a sullen ten-year-old girl who, while moving to a new neighborhood, becomes trapped in an alternate reality that is inhabited by spirits and monsters. After her parents are transformed into pigs by the witch Yubaba, Chihiro takes a job working in Yubaba's bathhouse to find a way to free herself and her parents and escape back to the human world. (wiki)I love Chihiro and Haku, they're so cute together! And I also love No-Face so bad, you know, the lonely male spirit who becomes obsessed with Chihiro after her kindness towards him, keeps following her and gives her gifts. *such a cute one, isn't it??* Yes, I love him. I don't know why. I just think he deserves it.
And for Joe Hisaishi's piece, One Summer's Day, it is a masterpiece! I love the song even before I watch the movie. ♥ *my sister recommended it to me*
I'm going to bake something after this and hope it turns out well! See you soon, guys~

Hello *again*, sweethearts~! ;)
More than a week post nothing, I think I've been doing sinful things after had some fun on Valentine's Day... *sigh* So those sinful things are :
1. sitting comfortably *i mean, lazily* in front of computer
2. thinking about how wonderful screen-gazing is to spend your whole day.
I've been wasting my life holiday, so I just decided to do something more meaningful tomorrow. And the meaningful things are :
1. watch Spirited Away *downloaded, life is perfect ♥*
2. bake something
Yes, it's decided.
And yes, I post this just to say that.
Julia
p.s. i'm still waiting for my cousin to send me our valentines-day-activity pictures, so i'll post that as soon as possible! ;) *im a slowpoke i know, forgive me please*

Here's a really short post!
I just can't help myself to post this as it always gives me the OMG-WHAT-A-BEAUTIFUL-SONG feeling! xD
FYI, 'Please Be Careful With My Heart' is Jose Mari Chan's single. You have to check his songs, nice ones indeed! ;)
And here's by Christian Bautista and Sarah Geronimo...
Verse:
If you love me like you tell me
Please be careful with my heart
You can take it just don’t break it
Or my world will fall apart
Chorus:
You are my first romance
And I’m willing to take a chance
That ’till life is through
I’ll still be loving you
I will be true to you
Just a promise from you will do
From the very start
Please be careful with my heart
Verse II:
I love you and you know I do
There’ll be no one else for me
Promise I’ll be always true
For the world and all to see
Love has heard some lies softly spoken
And I have had my heart badly broken
I’ve been burned and I’ve been hurt before
Verse III:
So I know just how you feel
Trust my love is real for you
I’ll be gentle with your heart
I’ll caress it like the morning dew
I’ll be right beside you forever
I won’t let our world fall apart
From the very start
I’ll be careful with your heart
Chorus II:
You are my first (and you are my last) romance
And I’m willing to take a chance
(I’ve learned from the past)
That ’till life is through
I’ll still be loving you
I will be true (I will be true) to you
Just a promise from you will do (only to you)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start
Please be careful with (I’ll be careful with) my heart (your heart)
Don't you think it's a really nice song for Valentine's Day? ♥
With love,
Julia ♥

please excuse the messy shape ;)Have some more cream cheese and decided to make some cookies. It's actually a pretty easy recipe and will be turn out great if done it right. But I put a wrong kind of sugar, it's written 'sugar' *supposed to be confectioners' sugar* and I used granulated sugar... I should have known... *stupid me*
But it's worth trying anyway!
By the way, it's a recipe by Kaity from la-fille-americaine.blogspot.com. Actually the original name is 'Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies', but I don't have chocolate chip, so yea...
2. in your mixing bowl, blend together the butter, sugar, egg, cream cheese, and vanilla. cream for about a minute or so, until everything is mixed and silky smooth.
3. slowly add the dry ingredients – flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda – and keep mixing until everything is well incorporated. .
4. grease your cookie sheet[s]. grease it well.
5. drop cookie dough by the spoonful onto the cookie sheet. leave about an inch of space in between each cookie – if you have several cookie sheets on hand, it does not hurt to leave more space. my cookies expanded quite a bit as they were baking.
6. bake 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
