Happy Bday, Blog!

So I'm a little late, but it's been a year since I started blogging. Can you believe it? A lot has happened in a year. Got engaged, married, changed jobs... and it's all been documented here. Geez, what am I gonna write about now? :)

I started last weekend with a happy hour to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. It was rather crowded outside Harrington's and I left after 45 minutes. So I walked home and drove down to San Mateo to hang out with Maika and Kaori. Edwin had a poker night with the guys.

So I have started walking to and from work. Last week, it took me almost an hour to get to work and I was totally pissed because it only takes about 30 minutes to walk from my house. So, I have decided to walk in the direction of the bus until a bus shows up. If it does not show up, then I just walk to work. I figure that it will help me to get some exercise and now that daylight savings has hit, it is safer to walk. It's not a bad walk. I have my shuffle or I can also make phone calls while I walk.

We also went bike riding to the Ferry Building on Saturday. (Edwin went for a longer ride in the morning while I slept in.) Then, we did some housecleaning and went over to the Banerjees for some dinner and to watch 24 season 3 on DVD. On Sunday, we went to the East Bay again for some Thai food and Matilde and I went to look at some open houses in Emeryville. The houses we saw were very nice and new construction, but the neighborhood was not very good. I would prefer the worst house on the nicest street than the nicest house on a not-so-nice street. And, unfortunately, the houses surrounding the houses we saw were pretty rundown and I wouldn't feel safe walking around there at night. There is a lot of renovation going on there, but I think it will take some time before it gets nice enough.

For dinner, we went to Kian and Wendy's to meet their new baby Teague. It was fun, but we had to cut our visit short because I started to feel unwell. I think that I had a migraine because I became very sensitive to sound and light. I got home and went straight to bed at 10PM and slept for 10 hours. Felt a lot better this morning. Perhaps I was dehydrated as well, but I was trying to drink a lot of water.
