I've been pigging out a lot lately. At work there's always some sort of free food, which I always take advantage of, and then at night I continue with the pigging out.
This past Tuesday I had dinner at Messob with Christina, Abby, Lois, and Tiffany Chin to celebrate! We each had something to celebrate: Christina and I both have new jobs, Abby graduated from law school, Tiffany just finished her second final exam, and Lois had her birthday (and a new job too). It was a great night--full of delicious food, yummy wine, great conversation, and many laughs. I love you ladies!

Yesterday I went to ktown plaza with my mum and we had donkatsu in the food court. The serving size has always been big, but now it is GINORMOUS. We almost died trying to finish all the food.
In addition to pigging out, I've also been watching a lot of TV and movies. On Monday I watched Young@Heart. And in the past week I've watched 10 episodes of TV.

I've also been busy organising the house. And my room. Returning items to Lowe's and Home Depot since our house renovation is now on hold with my family coming from Korea soon. Our house looks a lot different now from the inside and I love it. Change can be good sometimes. Very refreshing :)
But sometimes it's good to return to something familiar. I've been feeling frustrated at work since I never get to see most of the people that I talk to and email with. I'm not used to working for a company with thousands and thousands of employees scattered across a huge studio lot and in various different buildings. Since both of my bosses are out of the country on a business trip, I don't need to be chained to my desk the entire work day. So I decided that I would bake a small token of appreciation for all the EAs that I work with and distribute them, giving me a chance to finally meet them face-to-face.
So yesterday I baked. Martha Stewart's Cookies & Cream Cheesecakes. (I must say, it felt so good to bake something again. I miss baking.) Something I've made on several occasions before, except this time with a slightly different flair. I garnished them with crushed Oreos and then added an arts&crafts twist. I cut out "circles" to put on toothpicks and I wrote each EA's name on one. I am not talented in anything arts-y or crafts-y so this took a long time last night. But I think it was worth it.

I braved the heat today and spent almost three hours going from building to building, getting lost down various hallways, to meet almost 2 dozen EAs. A few were out of the office and a couple weren't at their desk, so I plan to do this again someday in the future. But it was so nice to finally get to meet these people that I harrass on a daily basis and show them my appreciation for their cooperation and kindness.

Everyone was really touched by my gesture. I'm going out with a couple of the EAs tomorrow for lunch, and on Friday we're going to have our first large EA gathering at lunch! Things are looking up :)
