A New Year


{Happy New Year!}

It's a new year: 2011! As is now our tradition, Gardy and I spent NYE together. But this time we were productive! We made Quesitos de Guayaba. And we watched Sweet Lies. It was a good NYE.

My New Year's Day, however, wasn't so great. It was mostly all wasted at my mum's friend's retirement home. Yeah, not fun. I ended up napping because I was so bored. The good news is that I finally finished reading Get Off Your Knees and Pray by Sheila Walsh. Once I got home I continued my Korean film watching and watched Fate. And then Bambi II. Which was surprisingly not bad.

On Sunday, I met up with Gardy and Keri at Starbucks so I could finally get their Caramel Brulee Latte again. Used one of my gift cards. I'm determined to finish off my gift cards this year! We then went to Souplantation for dinner, where I used up my Souplantation gift card. Success! (Although, to be honest, it was actually my mum's). But something did not sit right with my tummy because I suffered throughout the night and all throughout Monday as well. So work was not fun.

Apart from that, however, work was pretty good this week. I rediscovered manga :D But I could barely read any (I am so behind!) since people are constantly walking by my desk. But at least I read some, which is an improvement over none. And on Wednesday night I made carrot cake cupcakes. I've always felt bad about never being able to give CG any of my cupcakes since he's severely lactose intolerant and, let's face it, I never make anything without at least one dairy product. So I finally asked him what he wanted and he said carrot cake. So I made carrot cake cupcakes with vegan cream cheese frosting. And everyone liked them, yay!

Today I brought some of my stuff home from work since there is a layoff a-coming soon...
