Recap

It's been a while since I've posted here. Since my last post I've weathered through the holiday season as well as my birthday. I'm 25! Quarter of a century old! Assuming I live to about 75, and frankly, that's too much already, I've lived a third of my life. One third. Amazing. I'll just leave that idea up in the air for pondering purposes.

The holiday season was good. I actually got days off so I was very happy. My loot for boxing day include a pair of dark jeans (yay!) and a couple of CD's. I didn't do much of anything, just stayed home and watched tv. I saw Sweeney Todd, and became unbelievably addicted to the song "A little priest" by Angela Lansbury and George Hearn. Johnny was the hotness, as usual, and Helena Bonham Carter was so good! Loved her! She has now another dimension to her for me other than Bellatrix Lestrange. I also saw Charlie Wilson's War and I am Legend, both wonderful movies. I saw Big Fish on tv the other night, and I was all teary-eyed when I watched the last bit about the father's death. All in all, a very productive holiday.

We didn't have much of a feast of any kind. I had a bowl of beef noodles for my Christmas eve, and that was so delicious. I love beef noodles. For New year's day, we went to Little Sheep for some Mongolian hot pot. Their signature soup base was so fantastic I had a whole plate of beef all by myself. I usually don't eat much meat when I'm eating hot pot, I'm more a tofu/meat balls kinda person, but it was SO good. One more thing, no alcohol for the entire holiday period. None. I don't know what happened. One day I will celebrate properly, one day.

And then it was my birthday. I spent the entire day with my mom. I guess it's only fitting. We went to get my birthday present (work shoes), and went shopping for my birthday dinner (Costco). It was good. I don't care much for presents, but I was still very thankful for the gift San brought for me. All in all it was a good birthday.

Now it's back to normal, or until Chinese New Year when we try to do it up. Until then, I'm going to try to get back to my routine of attempting gym visits twice a week, attempting to bring lunch to work, and attempting to be happier everyday. I can at least pretend, and I imagine my most optimistic friend saying, "That's the spirit!" (since I don't believe in resolutions and all, but that's a whole other can of worms).
