Beautiful Sunday # 346 - Back to default mode

The past week was my first week back at work. After a three-week holiday break, I'm back to my default mode. Morning classes, office work, traffic, repeat for the entire work week. I thought everything was working well, not until I was plagued with a bad case of backache. It started in the middle of the week and up until typing this post, the pain is testing me to the fullest. Bending, sideways movement and most of all, getting up from bed feel so painful. I'm not sure if the cold from the office's aircon, heavy bags or bad posture from prolonged laptop usage caused everything. My body, which has been rested for three weeks, could have been overwhelmed with my first week at work.

Kate Spade, Shop Spring and Shipping Cart (the third time around!) : A Shopping and Shipping Review

While we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the Philippines, I look forward to this holiday because of the Black Friday Sale. :p Years ago, I only hear Black Friday Sale from friends and relatives residing in US. When I started to learn about online shopping and cargo forwarding services, my life changed. ;) I get to experience a little something from this most awaited sale.

Beautiful Sunday # 345 - First of January

Time flew fast, it has been a great holiday break. We had our last day at work, I toured friends in my hometown, New Year's eve came and the last few days were spent with the family and accomplishing some freelance work. I'm back to work this week and sure enough, I will struggle adjusting with my 7 am classes. If there's anything to love about early morning classes, it's the less crowded trains and cold morning breeze. 

Gui Gui : Another Unlimited Korean Grill

In the previous years, my birthday usually falls on a working day. My default plan was either, take a leave or report for work and treat my friends for dinner. Last month, my birthday landed on a weekend. I didn't have plans. All I felt then, I didn't want to spend another birthday sleeping or cleaning up my room. A few days before that weekend, I decided I wanted to have Samgyeopsal (Korean Grill) with my two cousins. At first, I thought of having a DIY Korean grill. I felt reluctant because it might emerge expensive. My cousin also told me, we didn't have the sauce and side dishes to create an authentic Samgyeopsal experience. In the end, my cousin brought me to a hidden and quiet Korean grill in my hometown.
