Birthday: A day in my life


Birthday: A day in my life — October Blogging Challenge Day 29



My birthday is my favorite day of the year, so how can I not talk about it? For today's prompt in the October Blogging Challenge, I am sharing a day in my life— the best day, my birthday!


Birthday this year was easily in the top five so far— it had travel, wishes from friends and family, great gifts, amazing food, and love!

I started my birthday this year in Seattle with birthday drinks at The Needle & Thread. In the morning, we woke up late after a good night's sleep, so that made for a happy morning. We went around downtown for a little walk, and then had a delicious and healthy brunch at Hotel Five. After the brunch, we dressed up and spent the day at Pike Place Market, and the Waterfront. I really loved the vibe at the Pike Place market, with the local shops and so much food. Did you know the First Starbucks store is there in the Pike Place market? I tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte for the first time— honestly, it was just okay. For lunch, I had the second best pizza of my life. We ordered the Buffalo Mozzarella pizza at Serious Pie, and it was so great we ordered a second one right away— no regrets! At the waterfront, we took a Great Wheel ride— the view from up these was beautiful. Later that evening, we had a dinner at Skycity— it's a revolving restaurant on the top of the Space Needle. It was a great view to look at from 550 ft. above the ground, changing slowly while we ate delicious food. The dinner was full of some birthday surprises too, including birthday card, balloons, flowers, and an awesome dessert. I just loved the day, it was one of the best ones!


What's your favorite day?

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...
