Top Chef, Bad coffee, boring Japanese dinner.

It's 1:16 am. I am exhausted. But for some reason I wanted to write before going to bed.
Ramadan will be here soon. I am so excited. I love going to be the mosque during Ramadan. Just the whole sense of belonging to a such a diveresed Islamic community is beautiful. It makes fasting for such a long time painless. Sun goes down after 8 pm these days so I hope Allah gives me the strength to keep all my fasts.

So today I volunteered for a Children's foundation. It was a gourmet tasting/ auction event. The chef was one of the former Top chef contestant. It's always nice to see celebs =] I was really planning write about it but I won't mention name. Because when she dished the show's secrets she said please don't put it on your blog or facebook it. My sister asked loads of questions. Like how do they pick, and are the controversies real? are the people real. Do the challenges really take place the way they show it. Before I met her I only wanted to ask one question. Was Hung (season 3 winner) mean (a**)? She said " YESS" without even thinking twice. It still doesn;t change my feelings toward him. He is still my favorite. Right after Harold from season 1!!

Afterwards I went to a japanese restaurant. Not sure why I even bothered. I know I don't like japanese cuisine because I don't prefer things with mild/BLAND taste. I like things that are hot, spicy, sour or sweet. So I got really bored during the meal. My sister kept saying ahjumma when the waitress would walk past us. (way past so she won't hear) I told her this is a japanese place. Later I heard two of those older waitresses talking in korean. I was like " Man!! we could've called them ahjumma".

I started my morning with loads of Dbsk..No so matter how bad the day went..(bad coffee, starving for a long period, bad dinner) everything felt moderately ok. They bring peace to my days! =]

I met a really nice lady today. She is an event planner for events such as fundraisers for charities or business, conferences etc. We talked about careers and all. We came across my diploma in Fashion marketing and how sad i was that i didn't get to intern in the field because of my location. And she said she knew a lady who started her own online fashion magazine and maybe I can talk to her and get to know her. Yay! that makes me happy. I love networking. If there is one thing I learned from years of business/ marketing classes it is NETWORKING is one of the most important and asset. One should never pass a chance to expand his or her network=]

My leg is killing me. Going to bed.
