Rang in the New Year with a prix fixe dinner at Andina, a Peruvian restaurant in the Pearl District. The traditional Peruvian festivities to ring in the New Year were great. The wine, the never-ending tapas and the dinner were delicious. Although we could’ve done without the two-hour wait for our 8:30pm reservations.
Spent the first weekend of 2012 on Mt. Hood. Cozied up with some 10+ people in a rented cabin for a weekend’s worth of fun. Went snowshoeing for the first time, which was actually quite enjoyable.
Snowpocalypse 2012. Not so apocalyptic in Portland, unfortunately. I did get stuck on my Portland-Seattle Amtrak train ride for over eight hours because of the snow in Washington. (PDX-SEA is usually a three-hour train ride). People on the train were freaking out towards the end; I was content with how there was wifi/3G for my iPhone and that the train was still warm.
Seattle, again. It’s always a good trip though.
Back to practicing yoga (and working out) regularly. The holidays always has this gym-repellent effect but that’s over and done with. Yoga just does wonders for my mental and physical well-being.
Discovered the awesome-ness of sandwiches. I’ve never been a sandwich fan. I blame it on the fact that I’m Asian and I’ve always been all about rice, rice and even more rice. Why have bread when you can have rice, right? Then I discovered Bunk Sandwiches. Simply. Mouth. Watering. Mmm.
I guess January wasn’t so bad; it was pretty fantastic. February isn’t looking to shabby either. With how things are going I’m definitely excited for what 2012 has in store for me.
