Life... in 5 Minutes
Technically I'm blogging right now because I have no earphones to listen to my music on my phone here at the gym and the next best thing to make time pass more quickly is to blog... so here I am.
Yesterday was an interesting day... I did the catering order for 35 people. Then the rest of the wrokday felt SO unproductive... all I really got to finish was the meatballs. But I'm proud of that since I haven't made meatballs in like, 2 months because I've been so busy prepping the other stuff (thank goodness we've been busier at the restaurant) that I've neglected the lesser popular items. I think I found a faster way of making the meatballs, and this technique also helps absorb and hold the flavor better. Try it!
I didn't do much after that. I was supposed to do a paper on porn addicts that is due today at 5:30pm but I got so tired... I haven't even done the research for it... so I'm practically screwed hard right now. I gotta head to work in about an hour, and I get off at 5. Perfect, right?
On another note, one of my elementary friends came by the restaurant today... Joanna Soon. I haven't seen her since like, sophomore year of high school. Wow. She basically brought me up to speed with her life in a matter of ten minutes talking time. I'm really glad I saw her because we used to be really close. She grew up so much... I really am happy for her right now because there were so many obstacles that she told me she was going through, and they're the kind of obstacles that would totally make me give up and run away from everything... but hearing Joanna tell me so much in so little time totally gives me so much inspiration. It also makes me realize that I need to step back and just look at things in a more positive way. I mean, I'm not really too much of a negative thinker to begin with, but I tend to forget to count my blessings, and the last kind of person I want to end up being is an unappreciative one.
