It's that time of the year again to over indulge on food and eat way past your daily 2000 calorie allowance! But if you are me, then that's actually, me everyday. Well, I do over indulge a little bit more than I normally do on Thanksgiving...hehe.
There was this one year where I had to go to 5 or 6 Thanksgiving dinners in a row...one after another, for almost a week straight and ever since then I've LOATHED turkey. So I've always avoided it every Thanksgiving, but this year, I decided to give it another shot, and surprisingly, it was pretty good. It didn't have that awful gamy smell and taste. I think I'm a Thanksgiving/Turkey lover once more!
I'm thankful for being able to spend Thanksgiving with my parents this year. Normally, my parents have to work overtime for Thanksgiving and it's really nice they were both able to get the day off today! We started out the day by driving all the way up to North County to have dim sum at Pearl. Their dim sum there was pretty good, I have to say :) They had really good service too because Pearl hired a lot of young white girls to work there and they were very energetic, eager to serve, and nice too!
Afterwards, my parents and I went to the grand opening of H Mart! Yes friends! This is the same H Mart that I found in Portland, Oregon!! WHOOP WHOOP! They must have decided to open a chain down here in Cali! It's a really good move too because the place was PACKED! I had to elbow people to get around the store! There was a really cute French bakery inside the market and there were these really cute macaroons that I really wanted to get but the line was almost out the door to pay so I decided it wasn't worth it. There was a really legit looking fast food area in the market, serving super tasty looking Korean food, just like the H Mart in Portland! I wanna go back and try the food there!
(I don't know why the photo got inverted...yes, that's my head there on the lower left)
The rest of the day was spend getting ready to go over to my Aunt's for Thanksgiving dinner. We made a lot of different dishes to bring over there with us. I made these little cake bites. Looks good and tastes pretty decent too :) I was really worried because I actually left out a key ingredient, MILK! I didn't even realize it until my brother pointed it out to me! I don't know how I possibly missed it! I overlook things way too often! I need to pay more attention to detail. But I guess somethings never change..haha.
(they almost look like macaroons!)
Thanksgiving dinner at my Aunt's was pretty fun. I'm glad I got to see all my aunts/uncles/grandma again. Surprisingly, none of my cousin's came. Good thing my brother was there to keep me company. I'm glad I'm not an only child, otherwise, I'd probably be bored out of my mind. Well...maybe not, I tend to be pretty good at entertaining myself. I think about the most random things and then before I even know it, 3 hours has gone by. Ok...that was an exaggeration, maybe like 30 mins goes by without me noticing it..he he he..
Patients say the darnest things:
I had a few interesting comments from patients, here goes:
Me: Please looks over here.
Patient: Ok, whatever you say kiddo. I'm sorry, I guess I should refer to you as doctor?
Me: yes, please. Please look over here.
Patient: You got it kiddo. Sorry, you just look so young...
Me: -_-
Patient: Are you the doctor?
Me: Yes.
Patient: Wow, you look like a little high school girl.
Me: -_-
This happened within the last few weeks after this:
Yes...I cut some bangs....it turned out surprisingly ok...I thought it was going to be a disaster since I was going to do it myself, but it's not too bad and I'm actually getting used to them. At first I thought I looked SUPER funny but now I can't really imagine myself without them. They are really growing on me. Anyhow, a few of my friends pointed out that bangs actually make people look YOUNGER. Which I guess makes sense given these patient comments in the last few weeks after I got my bangs...
It's always been this brother/sister ritual between my brother and I to go black Friday shopping together. We have this plan all worked out where we rush into the store and one person gets in line to pay and the other person shops for things and then we switch, and it actually took a while to perfect, but I think we finally got it all down...but this year, I totally got dumped. My brother told me that he's actually going to go with his friends instead of me. DUMPED. Yes, much like everything else in my life, I've been left in the dust to fend for myself. I guess I'll just stay home and "sleep" in until 7am! Considering I wake up at 5-6am everyday, 7am is sleeping in for me :)
Being Silly:
My co-residents and I were being silly and decided to model some really "stylish" new frames that just arrived. Observe:
(Here I am with my CRAZY eyes again)
Lower Your Expectations:
Ok, not trying to get anyone's hopes up....but I think I'm going to be SF bound VERY soon.......outlook is pretty good.......but keep in mind, keep your expectations lower....just in case.....
