back to work

My co-workers and I have made it tradition to do something for anyone who is away for a vacation or long weekend. Normal things like flip everything in their office upside down or fill their drawers with packaging peanuts...but they reached a new high (or low?) with this one...

Complete with a menacing note from a broken toaster oven...


Whoever wrapped my desk should get a seasonal job at Macy's during the holidays. Unwrapping my desk items was like opening a bunch of little presents...just not as fun


I eventually found all my things--neatly packed in boxes in storage. Oh how I missed their shenanigans. Well played...well played.

hello

I'm back and I'm looking forward to sharing some things about my trip with you guys! In the meantime, check these deals out if you're in the market for philosphy products or a weekend away.

Do you guys use philosphy? Their Microdelivery Peel is one of my favorite masks. I use it 1-2x a month or whenever my skin is feeling dull and needs a good scrubbin. Friends (even guys, who will remain anonymous) who have tried it say the same things. Anyways, you can get 25% off your purchases till Thursday...no minimum.

Also, Jet Blue is offering one way flight deals. Not too shabby for a weekend away somewhere familiar or new. Oh the possibilities!

sweet sorrow! I leave Seoul tomorrow (that rhymes...yikes...bikes! remember where that's from?)

I'm sad to go, but am grateful to have spent the last few days with the people I love, new friends, yum food...which has been definitive of this trip. But I'm excited to share about Seoul! I do love this place. Till then...have a wonderul weekend!

I heart Seoul: Reason #354

Delivery Korean style Chinese food--anytime, anywhere. Food is delivered fast and hot (those delivery guys drive with no fear and somehow seem to bypass all traffic laws). They even pick up the dirty dishes afterwards. So green and so efficient! If in the Sadang-dong area, this place is great:
자금성 (Ja Geum Sung)
525-2399
581-2199

It's apparently Korean tradition to have Jajang Myeon (thicker noodles with black soybean sauce, veggies, and usually meat, pictured on the top right corner) when you move to a new place. Fitting for today since we just moved in some new furniture to my sister's place...tasted extra delicious for that reason. If you do order from this place, make sure to get the 깐 자 장 면 (Ggan Jajang Myeon) which gives you the meat peices instead of ground. Yum.

greetings from ko samui in thailand! The beach has been the perfect way to end this part of our trip after 4 full days of meandering the streets of Bangkok. We took a kayak out yesterday (which was an adventure in itself--curious fishes, crazy reefs, and someone tell me how one capsizes a kayak...) and I wasn't able to snap any photos yesterday, but here is one from the hotel we are at on Chaweng Beach. In short, this place is beautiful. Thai people are amazing folks (more to come on this)...and I love papayas.
