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

What if ... ?

What if — an agonizing feeling that no one is spared from.  We all find ourselves in situations where we look back and think about things we  have done, things we should have done, things we should not have done, or things we should have done differently. They are not necessarily regrets, but more of questioning and second-guessing the choices we have made. I for one get this feeling a lot, and I find myself thinking about how life could have been if my choices would have been different.  What if I studied harder in school:   I would have gotten into a better college with more opportunities, which means better job and satisfaction. But, who can guarantee that would have happened- so I'd rather be happy about the other things I did and not just study all the time. What if I stayed at my old job:  I would have gotten to be roommates with my best friend for a much longer time, and would have definitely enjoyed more and I wouldn’t be stressed because of studying, assi
