Just Chronicling the Not So Exciting Life

////////////

Food

So I had some hakka food recently, it's like chinese food with an indian spin on it - and I had made one of the happiest discoveries of my life when I tasted those pickled hot green peppers. Normally, these are the same tiny green peppers found in vietnamese food in raw format and are extremely spicy. I would eat very sparingly or pick them out. However, the ones I tried are actually pickled in vinegar, sugar and salt - tangy with just the right amount of kick (occasionally you get a piece with seeds and it's spicy as hell, but it's all part of the fun). Mix it with a bit of vinegar on the rice and obtain party in the mouth.

Money

Also have been trying to bring my own lunch everyday. All in all, being healthier and saving some money at the same time. After all, the mortgage isn't going to pay itself. So I'm assuming some people will be packing turkey sandwiches for the most of the week now... I got myself a BBQ chicken and will probably be going through it as well. I have no idea how i'm going to ever finish that, the potato salad, and potato wedges on my own. All this because of a deal at Loblaws... (all that plus a bag of PC Decadent Chocolate Chips cookies for 10$).

Health

Restarted the yoga routine today, I don't know how long I'll be able to keep this up - I'm amazed by my long streak of 30min of exercise per day back in Montreal, and 3 times a week of gym. This is sooooo not happening now. I do have to keep up with yoga, as my bones cracks mercilessly every time I bend down to pick things up (and that's lots of time, see paragraph below).

Learned how to throw a handegg (american football) during the weekend and because I'm too lazy to care, received the ball on the fingers a couple of times. This is the same clumsiness when I'm too lazy to extend my fingers to press the right piano keys and just fudge it approximately. Also the same clumsiness when I think I can hold something by applying minimal pressure and walking around with it, resulting in things being knocked off from hand, and lots of bone cracking (see above). Playing catch is so fun, I wish I had done more outdoor activities from the beginning of summer. Actually, I wish it was still summer.

Love

Nice try. Move on folks. Nothing to see.

Job

Waiting for the bonus to come down and be hyped up then disappointed when I receive it net of tax, after all the EI premium and deductions for employee benefits on the same cheque in the beginning of January. Well that is if we get any. Otherwise, I'm banking on the Dollarama to have an extensive selection of Xmas presents. Who doesn't like rubberballs?!?
