Turn Your Frown Upside Down

"Things will happen in your life that you can't stop, but that's no reason to shut out the world. There's a purpose for the good and for the bad." - Crazy Pete

Today is one of those days that the sadness just kicks you in the gut and you can't do much about it.
I am pretty stressed and my hands are really full lately, I want to whine and complain (as part of being human) but I guess my actions led me to it so I have to man up. I've been trying to keep myself away from totally drowning into my own pool of stress and depression. :( *sigh*

I'm still a little down but I have to continue and do what is expected of me. I'm looking for things to cheer me up and Gerard Way & deadmau5' "Professional Griefers" MV just came to the rescue. At least that gave me a little sunshine to bask into.

But of course, I'm not telling you all of this to drag you into my short episode of sadness. Instead, I'll be sharing something that makes me happy -- MACARONS!!

Yes, you got it right. I'm having another giveaway! Ms. Georgia of Empire Macarons, Shark Out of Water and When In Manila will be giving a dozen of macarons each to 4 lucky winners!

And maybe you can cheer me up by leaving me some comments? I would really appreciate it. Pretty please?



a Rafflecopter giveaway


Just a little note guys, you have to follow the mechanics so that your entry will be valid as I will cross-check it.  I've noticed that some people gain entries from the 'Leave a Comment' mechanics but doesn't really drop a line or two. That is a no-no guys! Play fair :)

Good luck guys! I'm pretty these macarons can turn your frown upside down! :)
As for me, I'm trusting I'll be out of this bad rut soon enough.

  8. being "down in dumps" feeling is always just around the corner. but I always remind myself that it's just normal... there are happy sunny day...and there are gloomy days on the other hand. Anyway, my pick me uppers during these days are cartoons, playing with my niece, Ayla, and munching on sweets!!! I once read that sweets stimulates happy hormones! therefore can cheer me up on these so called days!!!

    Thats why Im utterly eager when I saw this post, free Macarons??? Ive never tried it..and Im excited to take my first bite!!! :)

  16. OMG MACARONS! If that doesn't instantly cheer you up, I don't know what else will!

    Well, for me, cinnamon stuff, coffee, good music, fun people, and Tom Hiddleston will also do!

    Thanks for making me crave for macarons!

  22. Whenever I feel down, I find comfort from eating, specially desserts. I also watch feel-good movies that would take me for an hour and so to happy land. Hee :) And when I have time, I go to the mall and look for something unique to add to my closet.

    *fingers crossed* on this one. I wanna have those yummy colorful macarons :)

  24. Macaroons are awesome, and are more awesome with some tea! <3 Learning how to make perfect French Macaroons is one of the items on my bucket list :)

    Things that cheer me up: folding paper stars, and crocheting scarves. Also a cup of my favorite tea is enough to soothe the tired girl. :)
