starting week 5...

have you had WARM ice cream? of course, you know it's ice cream, so it has to be cold, but at the same time, it's not? it can be attributed to weird flavors like, cheese, avocado, and taro, but the whole time i was eating it, i couldn't tell if i was really eating ice cream or not.

anyways, i had this weird experience because i decided to host a merienda (snack time) at the office today. i have been very grateful by the love that the officemates have shown me, so i decided to treat people out to ice cream. it was such a small gesture, compare to what they have done for me, but i couldn't help but feel grateful again that they were so thankful. :)

3 gallons of ice cream, sugar cones, and some other snacks: check!

happy people: check!

happy me: check!

last night was kind of a bad night because when i got home around 8 PM, i had no electricity! of course, it wasn't a brown-out, but just something wrong with my house. i had to sit in the dark for 2 hours or so, before the electrician fixed the problem. during those two hours, he blew the fuse on the whole entire floor, so i sat through a stephen kings' novel-esque scary setting... dark hallway, echoing voices and singing of children, illuminating green exit sign, blinding darkness... yeah, that was not cool.

i have been failing miserably with the half-marathon preparation. andrew tried to motivate me yesterday, but really, i just can't get myself to run. it's so BORING. :( any suggestions or tips?
