Food from North End (Little Italy)

Swordfish Kebab

Lobster Roll

Sitting outdoors on the steps overlooking Faneuil Hall

Eclairs

waaaaaaay tooooooo much pastry cream!

Cream puffs

Tiramisu cup

I loved the swordfish kebab and lobster roll but was not crazy about the pastries at all. Disappointing! They are from Mike's Pastry that is always packed or sometimes, they even have a super long queue outside the store, but seriously, they were not a big deal.

round felt cushion

i'm usually not the one who wants to spend stupid money on small lil things for the house that we can do without, but my heart goes out to these lil felt round cushions...how can you not want one? or a few?

they are USD 150 each. crazy!

Back to yoga

I have been practising yoga almost 2-3 times a week, but I have been doing this at home, with DVDs for about 2 months now. With the boy's health scare, followed by my health issues, looking of a new place and moving to a new place, going for yoga classes religiously kinda fell off my radar for a while. I didn't realise how much I missed it till I booked a class today and couldn't stop grinning till the time came to leave home for class!

I was super excited to practise under my teacher again. And when she whispered "welcome back", I felt the usual sense of peace and comfort under her teachings. And of course, how my inner thighs and upper back feels now is a bigger confirmation that I need to return to yoga classes.

i need a haircut!

since we're on the topic of ramblings...let me ramble abt my long overdue haircut. i have yet to trim it since we moved here, so that's almost 1 yr and 3 mths! n it's curly - curly long hair is crazy to manage, even though i can tie it all up easily, it's still a hassle when it comes to washing and drying. and the occasional times that i do let it down, i take forever to style it right so that the curls dont go every single direction possible.

i have also not thread my eyebrows...and i am not wearing much makeup these days too. i dun even paint my nails anymore. hmmm....this is bad huh? not painting my nails is like the clearest sign that i dun care how i look anymore. LOL.

it's ok, i still bathe. hahahahahahahahaha! like i said, just hear me ramble.
