Paris Baguette.
Okay — so I’m waiting on Mike and Simon to arrive in San Jose this fine morning… and we decided we’re eating at Paris Baguette. I suddenly got very EXCITED. And I’ve realized that this place is so delicious that there must be a tumblr post about it.
Paris Baguette is a bakery that has loaves, cakes, rolls, espresso, etc., But what makes this place sit on a...
Ellipsis. . .
I don’t know why — but I feel like the feelings of discouragement are all coming back to me. Maybe it’s because I stopped working, and I have all this time to let my thoughts get the best of me.
I’m familiar with these feelings. They drive me nuts. It feels like the world is falling apart — even though you know that everything has remained constant. Everything is...
What is this feeling?
I believe I went to bed at around 11:00pm last night. And I woke up at 9:00? What is this feeling? How many hours is that…. WHAAAAT! 10 HOURS!
I’m not going to say I feel refreshed. I actually feel quite overslept and my head feels a bit heavy from all this rest. But it’s kinda cool. Yeay.
Sleepy Saturdays.
It’s Saturday night… and I’m taking a break from going out this weekend. Drove out to San Jose to visit my dad this morning after I woke up. Brought over some laundry and started baking my dad some pan de sal. As for me? I made myself some homemade jalapeno cheese soft pretzels. Deeeelicious! Now I’m going to watch the rest of Glee and be a happy camper. :)

Thirsty Thursdays...
Thursday was so much fun! I haven’t seen Lora or Marlena in a ridiculously long time. It was good to catch up with them and have a few drinks. Double Dutch was having drink specials… unfortunately called RUMP SHAKER. But if having a ridiculous name enables you to sell me drinks for $3 a glass, that’s fine. Hope I can meet up with them again! Mike and I had tons of fun!
Wino Wednesdays.
Kelly, Desi, and I decided that we needed to reward ourselves for the hard work we put into our days at the good ol’ California Culinary Academy. What better way than wine? Now we’ve established WINO WEDNESDAYS.
Tonight was the first “meeting” of the night. And may I announce, “WINO WEDNESDAYS WAS A SUCCESS.”
Two bottles of red wine, a block of cheese, a...
Oh, the rain.
The wind is howling. The rain is pouring. The trees are swaying. The air is nipping. The streets are flooding. The traffic is stopping. Damn this storm.
Is it really happening?
Is it?! Did I just wake up at a normal time?!
As everyone was anticipating my quitting of Specialty’s, someone told me that my body will finally make up for all the sleep I deprived it of — and I will crash. Crash?! Yes, crash — apparently, for 3 days. I kinda wished it happened over the weekend — since I had that three day weekend to allow it to happen. No. I think...
Seafood.
What is it about seafood that makes it just so damn irresistible?! Just this past winter break, I seriously ate seafood everyday — lunch and dinner. And I was happy about it. And it was at my request! It’s what I wanted!
Speaking of seafood, I had some amazing garlic buttered crab/shrimp/clams at the Boiling Crab here in San Jose. It’s the same concept as Crab Hut (no...

Watching the clock.
1:00am.
2:00am.
3:00am.
3:30am.
I don’t remember the last time I had a good night’s sleep. I’m bored out of my mind in the middle of the night. I feel like I should be working. Mike claims that this might be a result of all the caffeine I’ve forced through my veins. Long term affects, he assumes. Yeah. I can see how that makes sense. I was definitely averaging on...

Insomniac?
Oh dear. I’ve seriously been having a lot of trouble falling asleep AND staying asleep at night. For a minute there, I thought that it was because I was so used to having that dumb baker’s schedule where I was awake 20 hours out of each day. But then I REALLY thought about it. I couldn’t even sleep with that schedule. A normal person would knock out as soon as their body...
KitchenAid Tattoo.
Sooo — I’ve been really considering getting a KitchenAid tattoo. Probably in the next year or so. It was just a thought before, then I came across this. And this looks LEGIT. The chrome and reflection is so sick. What do you guys think?
Unemployment!
Is such a relief.
San Diego, I miss you.
Okay. I know that for a while I told myself I wasn’t happy in San Diego. I guess there’s really nothing I miss too much in San Diego except for my friends. I have met some amazing people down there, and now that I think back… If I were ever lonely — someone was always down to kick it. And that was nice.
That being said… I think it’s about time I made...
I felt this way yesterday. My brother saved me...
Bye bye Specialty's!
One more week! And I’m FREE! Fuccccccc yeahhhhh!
Two thousand ten.
I hardly ever list New Year’s Resolutions. But why not? I’ll give myself something to write about. By the end of 2010… I would like to achieve the following:
Graduate.
Start my career doing what I love.
Fix up my credit score. [Yeah I admit to it. But I know I’m not the only young adult in the bad credit boat.]
Keep the same cell phone longer than six months.
...
I FAIL.
At cell phone ownership.
Last day of vacation!
So not ready to go back to the crazy schedule again!
3:00a - Wake up 3:20a - Bus 4:00a - Start work 12:00p - Finish work 12:30p - Home to shower, eat, [and maybe nap] 2:25p - Bus 2:40p - School 8:30p - Bus 9:00p - Home to eat, brush teeth, etc., 10:00p - Sleep Repeat.
Ahh…. AHHHHHHHHH!

Halfway there!
Starting Monday — 12 more weeks until I’m finished with P&B! It’s going to be amazing! And then off to the “real world” — ish.
I can’t wait to see where this career path is going to take me.
Hurreay!
