Catching Up With Old Co-Workers

2018 | 040/365 | Saeed’s Mediterranean Grill | Houston, Texas | Kefta Kabob Plate

Kefta Kabob Plate [grilled ground beef, onion, parsley, spices and two sides: spicy hummus and eggplant casserole] | $12.99

Met up with my old co-workers today for lunch at Saeed’s Meditteranean Grill and got a free meal from Erin! Thanks, Erin! One of my favourite meals is Mediterranean so I was super excited to stuff my face! I got the eggplant casserole for the first time today and it was THE BOMB. Way better than baba ganoush!

Beans Cafe Coffeehouse | Houston, Texas | Iced Coffee

After many hours with Angie, Erin, and Paola, Juhi and I bid them all farewell since they had to go back to work. Juhi and I went to Beans Cafe Coffeehouse for a long coffee chat and she was nice enough to pay for my coffee. It was nice to talk to her one-on-one. It felt like it was when she was sitting next to me! I’m excited I get to see her again Tuesday night!!

After you spend so much time with them daily and having it taken away in a blink of an eye is tough so I’m glad I got to see them again and catch up with them.

Rainbow Masking

2018 | 039/365 | Bonvivant Botanical Mellow Clay Mask

[2018] 039/365: Bonvivant Botanical Mellow Clay Mask

I’ve had these in my arsenal for a while but never brought myself to use them so I looked up to see the best way to do so. Did you know there’s a thing as rainbow masking?

You pretty much figure out what areas need to be worked with which type of mask and slather it onto those areas only.

I tried it and I feel like I’ve been missing out all my life. My skin feels much more alive doing it this way. Moisturized where needed, sucked up the nasty where it was needed, and calm down places where needed, etc.

Everyone should try this method.

Its Own City

Long Drive from Katy to Spring

Guys, I had an interview today and oh my goodness. I don’t know if I can survive a two-hour round trip every day for work if I was to score this job. Especially when I wasn’t even driving during peak hours! But man would it be nice to have a job. haha

2018 | 038/365 | Work Campus Is It's Own City

[2018] 038/365: Its Own City

And this campus is pretty nice. It’s surrounded by security at each entrance and once you get in, they have their own traffic lights and streets that are correctly labeled. Their parking lots had a light over each parking spot to note if the spot is free or not. They even have an underground walkway to get from one building to the next so that if it rained like it did today, you won’t get rained on!

The only thing I would say is that there weren’t many shops or restaurants around. I could have missed them though since I wanted to hurry home before the rush hour.

My old campus needs to be upgraded and get on their level because everything was GENIUS.

Pine Nut Ice Cream Is Life

[2018] 037/365: Pine Nut Ice Cream

I seriously cannot get over how delicious and light this ice cream is. I am hoping Scruffy will want to go back with me soon because I’m running out! I’ve looked for some recipes on it and hopefully find one enticing enough to make.

I’ve also been busy searching for jobs and am lucky to even get interviews with so many people unemployed. Funny thing Mum said to me: “You always get interviews, but not jobs.” Haha, that is true. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Cooking Without A Plan

Rizzo and TVB My Ages Apart

Today was so chill. Woke up late, submitted my taxes, then watched TVB with Rizzo before heading downstairs to hang out with Scruffy and his family.

2018 | 036/365 | Sauteed Green Beans, Mushrooms, and Chicken

[2018] 036/365: Cooking Without A Plan

I’m so happy with how well tonight’s dinner came out. Ashy made rice and the chicken and I made the green beans with mushrooms. We mixed it all together and it came out great! I don’t know the measurements but I used green beans, mushrooms, garlic, soy sauce, water, and sugar. That’s it! So simple.
