Happy things


“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, 
it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.” 
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh



It's Friday and I am happy. So, I want to be thankful for all the great things in my life lately, and of course share them with you.

New phone: I got Samsung Note 4 and I am in love with S-pen. I love doodling, and now I can do it anywhere anytime I want to.

A touristy day: Over the memorial day weekend, I spent a day in San Francisco, doing the touristy things like visiting Lombard street, Fisherman's wharf and more. 
Check out my post to read more about that.

Lemon cakes: I recently tried the lemon cakes for the first time and I loved them! I now understand why they are Sansa Stark's favorite too. I got them from Nothing Bundt cakes, along with red velvet and white chocolate raspberry flavors which are delicious too.

Workouts: I have been regular on my workouts for whole of June so far. I have been doing the 30-day ab and squat challenge, and I haven't missed a day. I hope to continue it the same. 
*fingers crossed*

Friends: I got to spend a day with my childhood friend, after like a year and a half. The best part of it was the low probability of it happening here of all the possible places for us! And I am gonna see her again in few days and we will be taking a trip together.
This makes me very happy!

Oatmeal cookies: I recently tried the sugar-free Oatmeal cookies from the sprouts market, and I just can't have enough of them!
I should probably avoid going to that store for a while.

Weekend plans: There's shopping on cards- I need to buy new clothes for the next trip, and I need a new bag too. Also, I am going to a wine trolley tour in Napa Valley- so excited about it!



What are your happy things, scribblers?

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

I am thankful for

1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back.  2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others.  3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch.  4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...

There I was: a story

There I was. Standing in the midst of the hustling crowd, all excited faces around me, all waiting for a change - a new start. Some of them might want a new life, a new career, a new direction or maybe even a new love, but they all had one thing in common - all they wished was to leave behind their past full of mistakes and bad memories, a past filled with betrayals and broken hearts, a past that witnessed all disappointments and let downs. They wanted to put it all behind them, and start over new. They all needed to move on, just as this night would leave behind the darkness and turn into a beautiful canvas, with sparkles all over it, in few minutes. Yes, it's the New Year's Eve party. And I could see all eyes around me carrying that sparkle in them, ready to take risks, ready to go for another adventure, to face their fears, to dare playing with their hearts again. I was wondering what I was doing there, I had no one to be with, no one to kiss at the new year. Go...
