Of Books and Cookies



What to fill if you have so much time in your hands at home? Apart from cleaning the house or doing the laundry chore, there are, of course, other things that you can do that can make your day meaningful and worthwhile.


Feed your coconut once again and buckle yourself to different adventures by going back to your previously-acquired-but-unread books or visit your favorite bookshop.


Pick up one of John Grisham's latest legal novel, The Litigators, that you have parked somewhere in your book shelf. Or, start with Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project before her newest book, Happier-At-Home, hits the market. If you have read one of Malcolm Gladwell's masterpieces, just ensure you have not skipped "Outliers", an insightful explanation to the success stories of some of the famous people in the world.

Reading is always being in love!


Books are, or reading is, significantly, the most fruitful way/s to spend your time at home.


Grab your apron and your spatula once again. It's time to return to cooking or baking. These endeavors are couch-potato busters, and will provide some good exercise while you shuttle yourself in the kitchen prepping up the ingredients. Cooking and baking can also make you feel loved and be loved by your family if they get to be your food testers.
