Had a pretty lazy week to recharge from my business trip!
Weekend was pretty low key this week, on Friday it rained pretty hard. Ate some sushi at Samurai Sushi and then chilled at home. I started watching a bunch of stuff on Netflix, based on recommendations from my coworkers. Saturday we had a slow day as well but went to a friend's house for some food and played Codenames. Also met another couple too. It was fun to socialize with new people but I got pretty tired at 11pm haha so we went home and chillaxed and went to bed. Today we're going to do some filming. We went to Starbucks earlier so that I could get some more stars for the star dash, and because we haven't had our caffeine fix yet. We then went to film and meant to go to a mall in the SW, but ended up at the signal hill Superstore to buy some groceries. Headed to Airiang market as well, to stock up on some tea, squid snacks and instant noodles. We decided not to get our regular assortment of fire noodles, and got some potato noodles and another random one. Excited to try them out!
We then had dinner at home that consisted of nachos & salsa, rice & leftover sweet & sour chicken, and some fries with bbq sauce. Mmm, mmm!
Went to check on our garden as well and give it a bit of water, we're starting to see some sprouting!

What a week!
Most of my week was spent at a conference for work in Vancouver. It was really insightful and a lot of fun to chill with my colleagues. :)
Tuesday - Went to Vancouver and checked out Konbiniya for some onigiri and snacks. Then went to the winking judge to chat for a bit and headed to work after. After work we went to EXP for some video-game inspired food! Walked back to our hotel and I couldn't sleep well after that, there were so many noises from the AC, the fridge, and the outside. I realized that I might have had too many pillows on my bed, so was pretty determined to fix that after.
Wednesday - Woke up early in the morning to go to the gym. I did a bit of a workout for 15 minutes (lol), because I really wanted to go on a treadmill to do a run but they didn't have one. :( I thought about doing a run outside, but it was raining... so I ran up a few stairs and went back to my room. Went to work, then after work I went to go meet up with my friend in Metrotown. We got udon and sushi at Sekai and went shopping in uniqlo, deciem and looked around sugarfina and got some candy samples. :) It was fun chilling with my friend for a bit as we caught up from the last time we saw each other. Afterwards, I went to Shenanigans to go hang out with some colleagues and sing karaoke. Not too much my thing as it was in an open space instead of a private room, but I persevered and it was still fun!
Thursday - Had a good hotel breakfast, went to work, then went to Konbiniya again and also checked out Miniso (I wanted to see if they had my humidifier there, but they didn't), totally forgot to check out Muji as I was going to get souvenirs there, then went to Lauduree as my coworker wanted to grab some macarons. They were pretty!! Afterwards, went to a work function and danced the night away. Lots of good food at Parq Vancouver. Went home after midnight and then went to bed.
Friday - Went back home and got Subway for lunch, then took a nap for a few hours and went to Annex Ales to chill out. I was pretty exhausted after work so we just relaxed afterwards in typical Friday fashion.
Saturday - Went to see Incredibles 2. It was really good! Can't believe it's been 14 years since the last one. Also went to try the La Verde burger and then went to Wow Bakery for some baked goods. Got a matcha white chocolate croissant which was freaking delicious, and a peanut butter cream bun. Also went to Chinook mall for a bit, as the boif wanted to shop for jacket. I was pretty tired though, so sat around a lot and window shopped a lot as I bought a few things in vancity already and didn't really want to spend more. We had lunch from Hula Poke and then went home to relax. Ate our baked goods, and then I took another nap again.
Today we didn't really go out. Got up, ate breakfast, showered, made poke for lunch, then ate snacks, and I napped again... walked to Luke's to try to find bagged soap, but they didn't have any. Did some gardening and ordered pizza and wings. Watched Food Wars and Westworld, also did the laundry and dishes. I also meal prepped too and made a card. Yay! Talk about super productive day even tough we didn't do much outside.
Going to go back to the gym again soon. Feeling gross. Not feeling so exhausted anymore :)

Meditation Helps
I have been meditating for the last few days, plus I started going to the gym again. I'm sore, but my body and mind feel wonderful. I also got a new pillow that allows me to sleep better than before, no more feeling stiff!
Friday - We went to have dinner at the famjam's, played with Tofu for a bit, went grocery shopping and watched Thor 2. Also went to Espresso Cafe and I got an iced coffee and we both got pistachio cream puffs. They were delicious!!! I also got a new micro-gel pillow that was advertised as good for 'side sleepers', and I put myself in that category. So far it's been a pretty good pillow for me. My back didn't feel weird at all this night and it's probably one of the best sleeps I've had in a while! I always thought it was the mattress that made me feel stiff, but who knew that a pillow could do that?
Saturday - I was going to meet a co-worker today at the farmer's market, but we had to reschedule. Watched Thor Ragnarok and had our morning coffee. Also went to Miniso to get a power bank and another lip tint (got a peach one this time! smells like cantaloupe lol), some snacks and went to South ST burger for lunch. I got a veggie patty and it was good :) We also went to City Market and McDonald's for some ice coffee. Went home and finished off the Thor movie, also had fried rice for dinner and did a lot of chilling around for the night.
Sunday - It started raining today and I wasn't feeling chipper because of it. The weather really affects my mood. Was going to meet a friend but we decided to reschedule to next week. Made quesadillas for lunch and watched some of Westworld S2. Got icecream at Made by Marcus and then had fried rice for dinner :)

Eventful week!
This week was quite eventful, I think!
Tuesday - I had my Invisalign consultation. It turns out the cost will be over five grand, so I'm not too sure if I want to go ahead with it right away. It was nice to get some more information on the entire process, though! I also went for a walk downtown and grabbed some new brown eyeliner and black eyeliner from Sephora. Also went to Simons and bought a new shirt and some skirts that were on sale. Bumped into a friend there as well and we hung out for a few minutes! Also went to my family's for dinner.
Wednesday - It was my day off so I went back downtown to get my walk and went to Simons again to get a jean jacket and a pink sports tank top. I think I'm pretty good for shopping/retail therapy now...
I spent the rest of the day just chilling out and taking it easy after.
Friday - We went to go check out the night market for a bit, got some kimchi poutine and fried chicken! Not a lot of booths were there this year... we also went to hang out with some friends at Cannibale.
Saturday - Didn't do too much. Went to the famjam's for dinner and played with Tofu for a bit. Had a pretty lazy day watching Westworld S2 last night. Went to bed pretty late too but also took some naps before that. Also had an eye appointment for a new contact lens fitting. New contacts were comfortable, but then my eyes were stinging after a few hours.
Today - Did quite a lot today as I had the day off. First, we went to Cafe 16 with some friends, got some Torikatsu curry and it came with soup and salad as sides for lunch! Then we headed over to CoCo Fresh Juice & Tea and I got a sago taro milk tea with 30% sugar. It was pretty good! It was nice to catch up with our friends that we haven't seen for a while. Then we went to True World Foods and just bought a bunch of Japanese snacks and drinks. Was able to find a few things there that we wouldn't normally find in other marts here! We then went back home and took a walk, took some photos for my blog and IG, and then proceeded to clean up our garden plots. Now to figure out what we will actually grow... hmmm....
Just finished dinner. I am feeling pretty achy today, Bleehhh! I feel like taking it easy for the rest of the night, but I should probably be productive... hmm.
