and oh, of course, there's chocolate!

Oh I love chocolates! Those dark little cubes my mouth loves to relish. Those big bars that I cannot resist on having.Those coffee toppings I love sipping on. Those little crunchy cookies I love munching on in-between analysis and planning; those times when it seemed the world is against you; when experiencing the down side of life; those weaker moments, those days when the most pressing thing you have to do is nothing; those happy moments with family,loved-ones, friends and thyself --- chocolates seems to be one of my wonderful companion (oh well, next from coffee and ice cream).

Chocolates are mainly made from a seed  of tropical Theobromo cacao tree (so, I've heard). They are mainly fermented, dried, cleaned, roasted, then ground, then liquefied and experts knows what else are needed to be done;  I could care less how it was made, I am more interested on tasting them. Chocolates commonly comes in dark, milk and white varieties. Some are being used as cake toppings or on coffee. Usually branded as mood-enhancer or food for the goddess, I think chocolates have been one of my sources of simple happiness, and I am sure many girls would agree with me.

See how creative Japanese people are? Design :cookie-chocolate-cookie.

Just love these!

Who says Korean chocolates aren't this good?

When you're working  in a Japanese manufacturing firm with lots of Japanese people giving you chocolates, likely, your drawer would look like this.^^

Chocolate on cakes, anyone?

Colorful packaging, the better ^^

I don't know what its called, probably "chocolate pebbles" or something.
Thank you Keeh Jhay for these.

OK, so this is definitely not a chocolate, but I was tricked to eat this by one of our Japanese consultants; the verdict : I don't like it ^^  sorry (tasted something like wasabi-thing) 

Life is sometimes hard, I get that. With series of unfortunate events and sometimes with no comfort from anyone, I would tend to look for a way to lift myself up -- may it be drinking, pig-out session alone or writing anything on my journal -- I find little pleasure with chocolates and I am thankful God for providing it.
