THE BAD: Laziness
I got an email yesterday from Tumblr wishing my blog a happy anniversary. I realized how long it has been since I last updated. A lot has happened. Maybe I'll do a better job documenting my life going forward...but don't hold your breathe!
THE BAD: Tally
Apparently, in addition to reporting traffic during busy hours, the radio station in St Louis also keeps a tally on the numbers of ladders and mattresses dropped on the freeway...Last year mattresses won. They are rooting for ladders this year...
2011
2011 can be summed up in one word, CHANGES.
student --> graduate
fully-employed --> under-employed
CA --> MO
comfort --> anxiety
I supposed we are all changing everyday. But with all aspects of my life doing an 180, it was a bit hard to digest. I thought I was doing a good job, considering all the emotional intelligence classes I had to take during my MBA days. When wild imagination turned into harsh reality, cray cray came out. Good thing that all problems can be fixed with large consumptions of alcohol. YES my friends, I have turned into an alcoholic. That is my coping mechanism along with wasting 50% of my day on FB envying all my CA friends with terrific jobs.
All kidding aside, at the end of the day, I know I am still luckier than a lot of people so I will count my blessings. Here is to a better 2012 - getting to know all my St Louis friends better and finding little gems in my new city.
THE BAD: My white Christmas came 2 days late (Taken with instagram).
Dear Santa, since white Christmas was the only thing I asked for this year from you and you were late, does that mean you are going to bring me a nice spanking new job that befits my education and background and promises of career path and bright future?
THE GOOD: Christmas cards are in the mail. I'm on time this year :) (Taken with instagram)
THE BAD: First sign of snow (Taken with instagram) and I have no idea what to do...Do I scrap the snow off first before I drive or what?
THE BAD: Pumpkin picking at Eckert's (Taken with instagram) but we did not bring any tools to cut the pumpkin off the stem. This is the real deal...
THE UGLY: Soulard Octoberfest (Taken with instagram). Too many drunken people...
THE BAD: Ehhh...
I went to Chicago two weekends ago but was sick the whole entire time. This week my coworker asked me how my trip was. I told her it was great except for the part when I wasn't feeling well. Her response was "are you pregnant?" WTHeck...when did sick and pregnancy become one and the same?

THE GOOD: Festivals
My social calendar since moving to St Louis seems to be very full, despite the fact I live in the middle of nowhere. It feels like there is a festival somewhere every weekend. I was at the Taste of St Louis on Saturday and it was madness!
THE GOOD: Sunday coffee before fishing. Pumpkin pie latte @ Kayak's Coffee. Fall in its best form!
CA to STL
I was born on a small island in the Pacific Ocean but have lived in California since I was 10. Like any other SoCal residents, I am a sun loving, flip flop wearing, beach enthusiast. However, I traded all that about 2 months ago for a new life in the Midwest with my boyfriend. This blog is about how I adjust to crazy weather, slower pace, and the lack of good Asian food!
