[2018] 324/365: Alamo Tamales

I never knew just how great tamales were until meeting Prisila. I never knew they could be so fluffy and moist. The ones I’ve had in the past was always stuck to the husks and dried out. Since she knows the owner she gets $5 a dozen versus their price of $15 a dozen. Definitely not worth that price. I really need to learn to make my own!

I went to lunch with Prisila, Joel, Natalie, and Fahad. They all got Chick-fil-A, Fahad got Simon’s and I stuck to my usual Treebeards. This has got to be my favourite lunch place yet.

Since the boss was out everyone was super talkative. I put on my noise cancelling headphones and worked as much as I could though. I stayed after to keep Kieran company while he taught me some coding things. It’s nice getting to learn and also talk about non work things. He talks about his girlfriend so much that I feel like if we ever met we’d be pretty awesome friends.

Prisila, Natalia and I had lunch at the shops. I opted for dumplings and bought a cookie cake for Leslie’s birthday, one of the interns.

[2018] 323/365: Peli Peli with Peggy

After a gruesome day at work I took Peggy, Mum, June, Brudda and SIL ouo for dinner at Peli Peli. This is by far one of my favourite restaurants so far. Their wings are on point and their Cape Town Skillet is the bomb if you love seafood. I’m not a lover of rice but I’ll gladly eat a few bowls of this.

[2018] 322/365: Grandma’s 90th Birthday

Today was dedicated to celebrating Grandma’s 90th. We went to her house in the morning for bye sun and then had a late lunch.

Brudda, SIL, Emmy and I left and stopped by Target and Starbucks before going home so that Emmy could take a nap. Soon enough we were on our way to the restaurant for the dinner part.

We are still at the restaurant. I am pooped and ready for a shower and bed. Zzz .. tomorrow is going to be a long day.

I had a fabulous lunch of Sushihana delivery and TVB. Everyone was out of the house so it was perfect. A much needed time alone after a crazy week at work.

[2018] 321/365: Free Krispie Kreme Donut

Mum went shopping with me. I went more to return things as she went to buy things. We stopped by Krispie Kreme on the way back home since Brudda, SIL and Emmy were coming home. Upon walking in we were handed free donuts!!

It’s been a chill day and seeing Emmy was icing on the cake. She is growing up so fast!

[2018] 320/365: Being Vain

I rarely take selfies unless there’s another subject in it with me but I was really liking how everything fell to place and for the first time in a long time I felt a little pretty. I know how vain that sounds.

Lunch was had with Vicky, Salim, and Kieran. Vicky and I grabbed Treebeards while the boys went for some dumplings. It was nice to get far away from work and to listen to their thoughts with everything going on in the company.

After work I headed over to Erin’s and we hung out for a few hours and I even took time to edit her essay she needs to hand in. Man do I miss editing papers. I’m not the greatest but I always have the most fun.

This week has been one of the worst work wise in awhile but having these conversations with different people has helped and even opened my eyes to so much.
