                                      New corner in my little home. that green storage cabinet, i purchased it from a garage sale, and colored it with two shades of green. this chocolate colored chair is also from the garage sale. however i stained it, and changed the fabric to give it a new look. So, that storage cabinet is for all my art books....hope this post will inspire some of you guys to re-arrange your home for a new look  [:

hi [:

i have been really busy with my classes, therefore, barely get to spend time with myself. however, i make sure to make some time for relaxed moment with my tea (and breakfast sometimes).

i am cooking fresh almost everyday thats why planing easy menus that can be cooked quick. i like to know some of your ideas on busy times.

i see page views everyday from couple people, but really would like to meet you guys. so do leave me comments! hope to meet you soon!

-------------------------------------So these are some pictures from back home in Bangladesh - from my best friends' wedding...

She looked amazing. my other friends and i enjoyed a lot - dressing up in traditional wear, dancing, working for the wedding decor help that they needed...it was such pleasure to see everyone after a long time.

just wanted to share some photos from my beautiful summer vacation in Bangladesh. hope your summer went well,

                                                               ____ with love Peace out [:

back from Bangladesh.

reason i have been gone as i took the summer off from everything and left to Bangladesh...to my birth place.

i was depressed, tired, annoyed and in constant negative mood for a while. so i decided to pull myself all together...

                 i left for Bangladesh for good 2 and 1/2 months....to spend time with family, to see my boy friend who i haven't seen for 3 years....and to spend a quality time with LOVELY ME <3

in one word, it was just fulfilling. 

i will update on my vacation soon. for right now, i am back in the U.S. my pantry was empty, so this friend of mine gave me a ride to the grocery shopping. i brought some fruits, veggies, fish and milk n eggs. not a big deal, plain old grocery. but these green veggies looked attractive and comforting to my eyes, so took some photos.

      i am uploading them, hoping they will inspire you to cook a great dish. with love, ba-bye.

process of escaping from a negative, judgmental surroundings.

Escape!

april 17th! camera :)

so, its been a long, not so productive day.
it woke up early, made some breakfast -
with
 Egg salad on a pita bread
sum sliced avocado, salt and freshly ground black paper.
and one cup of this english tea name Early grey tea.

i actually didn't like the flavor of the tea much. i like my tea nice and strong, without any fruit or flower flavor!

Clay class _____
i woke up early yet was lazy to make it to class, so just took my time, and went to class after 40 min. my class is 3 hours, so still made it for 2 hours. i been wanting to put up my clay project but, as i don't have a camera anymore (other then my laptop), couldn't take it. but finally it feels like i am liking clay.

Afternoon________
went to grocery in a place name Aldi.
it is a german store. they are quiet good, and tries to keep their price lower by keeping the store maintenance cost lower. so i bought some colored seasonal beans...and yup thats about it!
i was tempted to buy some goat cheese, but i am leaving the country for Bangladesh for 3 months in 3 weeks, so decided not to buy it(instead i should finish all the thing i already got).

my friend took me to a Electronic store, so i could take a look at the point shoot cameras, and to see if they have a good deals on them. i liked some good, okay quality once, but was avobe my budget, and i felt wasn't worth buying for their no so great quality for that price.

but hey! good news! i already ordered one camera from online. its from nikon coolpix series :) yeeeeeeeeeeee!

hope its better then i think it is. i cant wait till it gets delivered.

i cooked some yummy dinner, but too bad couldn't take photos.
i made some pan sautéed tillapia with finely chopped fresh garlic, thickly sliced red onions, salt and paprika. i used mustard oil, and concluded with some cilantro and lemon juice.

also cooked up some vegetable(broccoli, cauliflower, green and yellow beens, carrots, peas)
served it with some jasmine rice. i like to add a cinamon stick while boiling my rice in hot water, so it absorbs the nice soft smell from cinnamon.

enough about my some what not truly productive day. i am tired and sleepy. already took a 15 min bath. now time tile to sleep tight. so many things to do tomorrow. hope you are having a great day! take care.

F word to this evening!

Art and Fear!

a tiny bit of grocery shopping [:

i am so freaking mad. i am angry, angry and badly ANGRY that i want to scream, and want to forget that i am civilized!
i am so tired of rotten so called friends around me. they are nothing but negativity in life. i hate all those gossip queen Bangali women, and their selfish nature.

anyways, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.............................

i want to let go of my anger and frustration. they are not important enough to ruin my evening. so i will just write about my how my day went today___

it's been such a nice weather. and i had a great time walking back and forth to my classes while listening to my ipod. i made a clay tile for my class. read thru a book on encaustic painting. had a great time in my Texas government class. i am glad that i got 88 out 100 in my midterm for this class, considering i did not study for that at all.

after classes i work for 2 hours, and then walked to this Middle Eastern grocery store, and a Local Farmer's market.

Ahh, i love going grocery, specially if it sells fresh, creative, organic, and ethnic food in em. saw some amazing mix of different kinds of nuts, colored potatoes, crunchy green beans, fresh tomatos and green okras. but i do have vegetables at home that i need to finish up, so i ended up not buying them. but gosh! that was relaxing.
i bought some Arabic bread(not pita but forgot the name :/ )
tomatoes, turkish cucumber, cilantro, mexican jalapeno, red onions.
i think i want to make some kabob tomorrow. also going to brush up some herb and tiny bit of butter on the arabic bread that i got, and will throw it in oven until it warms up nicely. and serve it to ME :] with some red onions, cucumber, tomato, and cilantro, Along some turkish coffee that i have. all these sounds great, and looking forward to tomorrows candle night dinner date with myself [:
let me know about your day in the comment box. finishing up today with my kitchen photo, not a great picture quality as i took the photo with my laptop.

saturday it is!
