november, november.

Hello readers!

I'm sorry I haven't been consistent in my posting. I'm getting too comfortable (and also a tad bit lazy) with all the festivities this season brings. I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving and that it was filled with good food, great company, and many memories. I was definitely thankful that I had someone special to share this holiday with and especially thankful that my family and I are in great terms (as opposed to the past two years). Usually this time around the year I'm at my lowest--holidays never really treated me so well for the most part of my life, but I'm glad things have started to look up. I hope that it'll be like this for many more holidays to come!

Anyway, it's about that time I clear out some memory space on my phone and overload you with pictures that show you a glimpse into my life.

First off, this is most of the food I ate throughout this month:

Spam fried rice, #1! I think this month I craved spam fried rice a good number of times.

Omelette fried rice. It's a Korean thing.

Chicken tempura wrap with sweet potato fries from the Tempura food truck. BOMB.COM

Oh, and it was Olivia's birthday!

And the newest addition to the Moon-Tsai family, Jack. So cute!

Big ol' Elmo just straight chillin. He was getting beat up by all the kid, ya should've seen.

Oh, and I went on a random turnaround trip to Vegas before Thanksgiving! It was last minute, very spontaneous and wasn't really filled with the usual stigma-ed Vegas craziness but honestly, I had a lot of fun. It was only the second time I've ever stepped foot in Vegas but it was hell of a lot better than the first, for sure.
