This week flew by! I am now done my training and onto the mentoring stage of work. Eeep! Back to the early grind.
Had quite the productive weekend too!
Friday - Finished up my last day of training, then headed to our friend's place to celebrate their birthday. Had greek food, brought spanokopitas (which no one really had haha), and had apple pie cake with ice cream. Stayed util about 1am as the bf was recapping his trip to friends (we had to know what went on!). I was super tired. Tried to make it an earlier night but that didn't quite work out. (It never does lol when we go to our friend's place, we could talk for hours!)
Saturday - I went to Shinjuku for some ramen with some friends. It was my first time going there, so I got my default Spicy Miso Ramen. It was pretty decent, I quite liked the noodles even though they were the thin kind. They also give three pieces of meat, which is awesome! I also tried one of their melon soda drinks and also brought home some Okonomiyaki fries for the bf to try (and of course I had to have some too!). Went home after and cleaned the house. It felt really nice getting a head start on cleaning, as I usually clean on Sundays. We then went to celebrate my brother's birthday. Had mashed potatoes with roast beef and chicken, and also played with Tofu for a bit. Chilled with some youtube videos after getting home and read a bit as well. I just wanted to relax after since I was tired.
Sunday - Went to Dreamery BBT (used to be OCup) with some friends. Met our friend's new gf which as cool, we have all been waiting to meet her. :) And caught up like we usually do. Had taiwanese fried chicken and black sugar grass jelly red bean bbt (it was supposed to be pudding but they had already ran out). The chicken was big and really good! Went to the mall for a bit afterwards to shop (I also went prior to bbt and got some new shades as my old ones got scratched up since I had lost the case...). It was nice to catch up with everyone!
I also cleaned my desk after coming home, and went to Luke's again and got some sunscreen as it's starting to get sunnier outside and I am trying to go outside more often while working remotely. I also got a points card... I go there a lot more often now for skincare and bath products, so I might as well get one! (Oh I also get a lot of gelato from there too...)
I also got my new snow boots in the other day!
My routine is about to change again. Wake up earlier, and sleep earlier.
Will also go to Costco tomorrow to run some errands.

It snowed again!
Total opposite of last week's post, it snowed again. Gahhh.
And here's what I did this week:
Monday - Worked, dinner with the family, played with Tofu, did some video editing
Tuesday - Worked, had fried chicken for lunch, had fried rice for lunch, looked at cases (I think?), did some VA work, watched some YouTube videos
Wednesday - Worked, had fried rice for lunch, and I was supposed to have friends over, but we had to reschedule, so I ordered Poke for dinner through Door Dash, and it was awesome. It got here sooo fast and met my cravings. I think I got waaaay too much sauce though... and the rice was a tiny bit undercooked. I also made bean dip for the first time, it was amazing!
Thursday - Worked, took out the trash, had fried rice for lunch, went to my famjam's for dinner, played with Tofu, and also got grocceries (nacho chips for my bean dip, oreos, raspberries, spinach and wraps), I also went to the gym. I signed up for a beta health fitness program thing at work, that gives me stuff to do each day for 21 days and I gain points for each task done. I'm currently doing the physical one, which is pretty easy to do each day (30 lunges, stretching, exercise, etc.).
Friday - Made a smoothie with my raspberries and that was a terrible idea because I got a stomach ache while working (the raspberries weren't fresh at all, lacked taste, and some of them were starting to mold already), worked, ate hotpot with the famjam, played with Tofu (he was really sleepy so didn't play with him too much), watched YouTube and went on Steam for a bit to add co-workers. I also bought new winter boots because my current ones are not waterproof at all... the bottoms soak up all the water from the puddles!
Saturday - I went for ramen at Meyatai with some friends and caught up. It was fun and the ramen was super spicy and yummy. Afterwards, I cleaned the pillow cases, made brownies, also went to Luke's and got gelato (cream cheese and carrot cake, aaamgg), witch hazel toner and body oil. I wanted to get bagels too but didn't have any cream cheese, and was too lazy to buy any. Maybe later this week I'll get some? I also did the dishes. I also ordered a bunch of cute clothes on Zaful.
Sunday - Today I was going to go out with two different friends, but we had to reschedule the first outing, so I went out for lunch instead with my friend who I was going to go for dinner with, we went to Insadong for some Korean cuisine and caught up. Haven't seen my friend in months, so it was nice to catch up and chill! After going home I wanted to go buy dishwashing soap as we're running low, but as I was walking, it felt too cold outside, so I turned back and went home. Changed into my PJs, and I also took like a two hour nap... woke up from a weird nightmare (I had a lucid dream!) and took off my makeup. Now I'm just eating fried chicken for dinner again (also fried rice) and having some tea and gelato. After more chilling, I'm going to tidy up closet again.
This will also be the last week I'm doing my late shift, as I start my regular shift time next week! So I should probably adjust my sleep schedule more... that nap I had today proved it!

It's nice outside!
As I'm writing this post, the sun is beaming through my windows, the snow is melting and there's a lot of water on the streets. It's a nice day outside and I actually feel ok and warm while wearing only a t-shirt inside!
Friday - I worked until the evening and tackled another week of training at the new job. Woohoo! I think this week was pretty hard core, but that means I have a lot to study up on for work and a lot to learn! We then went to Canmore and stayed over at the bf parents' place. Had some vegetarian sandwiches for dinner, so good!
Saturday - We headed back home and went to Memory Express for a bit to look at some netbooks/elevtronics for the bf. Also went to Best Buy and couldn't find anything good, so we got Papa John's after for dinner. Totally shouldn't have eaten our entire pizzas on our own, as we were quite full and felt gross after and couldn't really sleep. Also set the clocks an hour forward for the Spring. I HOPE THAT MEANS SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!!
Sunday - I did some VA work, and looked at some macbook cases online. Also went to dinner. It's so hard to find the perfect case. I want to find something more to my liking, and a case that is sturdy, but also don't want to spend too much on a case.
Today I did another round of case searching! I was able to pick out a few floral cases I liked, but then I looked at prices and some reviews... there's a bunch of mixed reviews... which makes me kinda uneasy about ordering a case especially given that the cost is quite pricey (like $70!). Hmm... I'm so indecisive.
It's not really necessary for me to get a case, I purely want one for aesthetics and to keep my macbook clean. I think I could use a keyboard cover though, it got so dusty despite my non-use of it as I use an external keyboard!

Getting back to routines!
Friday - It snowed so much and I finished my first week of training at my new job! Whoa, so much information and I felt really accomplished. :) We were going to go to Canmore for the weekend, but since it snowed we will be going next week once the snow is melted. We stayed inside for the most of the night, but got Subway for dinner (haven't had Subway in soooo long!) and watched The Ritual.
Saturday - We did a big grocery run and went to Ikea to pick up a small drawer thing for the office and also picked up some skubb boxes for our shelves and picked up a bunch of snacks. I tried to make this Chocolate Trunk Truffle Cake from a video I saw on Instagram, but failed lol... I put in the warm milk/liquid ingredients all at once, which turned the mixture into liquid/chocolate milk instead of thick moist goodness. It ended up being more like a tiramisu cake, which isn't so bad! But yeah, I wanna try it again next time... also with baker's chocolate instead of regular eating chocolate. We watched Altered Carbon and had Ikea food for dinner!
Sunday - Today we went to ATP to watch a play and it was really sad, but the acting was really great! Afterwards, we just went home and I did a super clean of the office and my bathroom, and the kitchen sink/dishes. Made sushi burritos for dunch and I also built my drawer for the office. Yay clean! I also finished my journal stuff and now I'm just chilling and watching some YouTube. Don't think we'll eat a full dinner as the sushi burritos were quite filling and we ate lunch sooo late.
I am now feeling what it's like to get back into a routine. I also need to get back on track on my videos and blog posts. I have put them off for too long. :( But I think that now I have a job I can focus on my other interests. It was also hard for me to adjust to my new lunch times as well.. instead of an hour, we get 30 minutes, which isn't so bad as long as I know what I want to eat for lunch! :)
