Breaking the Ice with … Yourself – The Art of Showing Up

I started reading a book called The Art of Showing Up and there was an exercise about breaking the ice with yourself where you answer some questions to help get to know yourself better. What was the last thing that pleasantly surprised you? When was the last time you really wanted to scream? What isContinue reading “Breaking the Ice with … Yourself – The Art of Showing Up”

March 15th – Chinese Wedding Banquet

Today I went to my brother’s wedding banquet. The official wedding ceremony occurred a few months ago and the wedding celebration my brother and his wife threw was a couple of weeks ago, but my parents wanted to throw a wedding banquet to celebrate their union as well. I think that this is relatively commonContinue reading “March 15th – Chinese Wedding Banquet”

Climbing Gym

I went to the climbing gym for the first time in a long time. In the past, I’ve tried climbing with ropes, but this time I tried bouldering. I’d been invited by my friend Michael in the past, but I was not willing to give it a try. I gave excuses like “It is tooContinue reading “Climbing Gym”

Attending my first bachelor’s party

I recently attended a bachelor’s party for the first time. The group had chatted about the plans for a few weeks now, so I had a general idea about what was going to happen. The plans sounded a lot different than plans that I’ve seen in TV shows and movies, so I wasn’t sure howContinue reading “Attending my first bachelor’s party”

Thinking about Goals

I recently was asked by my manager to think about some goals for myself spanning 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. I was able to think of some areas of improvement, but before I filled out my goals for my career, I was thinking about goals for my life in general. IContinue reading “Thinking about Goals”

Pasta Sauce Innovation or Blasphemy?

I recently met up with some friends that I hadn’t seen for a few months and we started making dumplings and pasta for dinner. We didn’t have enough dumpling wrappers so we cooked some pasta. However, we didn’t have any pasta sauce since we ate the TikTok tomato feta pasta the night before. So, weContinue reading “Pasta Sauce Innovation or Blasphemy?”

List of some phrases

I recently had a coworker say an phrase that I thought was funny. So, I thought that I’d start a list of phrases that I thought are neat and keep adding to it as I go about my life.

Life/Career Coach?

Recently, I’ve been thinking that I may benefit from having a life coach or a career coach. It sounds a bit odd for me to want to ask a random person to help me to gain clarity about my goals and desires, but it definitely seems like I have not been doing enough for myselfContinue reading “Life/Career Coach?”

freshly – Chicken Tikka Masala

I tried another freshly meal from my roommate. When I was working in New York, there was a great lunch buffet spot called Haandi that me and my college friends would go eat. They rotated what was served each time we went, but the Chicken Tikka Masala was always on point. The freshly Chicken TikkaContinue reading “freshly – Chicken Tikka Masala”

freshly – Chicken Cordon Bleu Review

My roommate started ordering freshly a few weeks ago and he recently mentioned that I should try some of the meals. The first meal I tried was the Chicken Cordon Bleu. The instructions were to heat the tray in the microwave for 3 mins and let it stand for a couple minutes before eating. IContinue reading “freshly – Chicken Cordon Bleu Review”
