Job Transfer

Thanks for the post from Kirk Wood

I grew up in a small town in Alabama. After I graduated from college, I got a job in Atlanta working for a large bank. After working in Atlanta for a few years, I got a great promotion and had to move to Memphis, Tennessee. When I got transferred, I didn’t have a lot of time to shop for things for my new house because I had to start working as soon as I moved. That left my husband in charge of setting up just about everything for our house. He was there when the movers brought all the furniture. He was also the one to tell them where to put everything. I hope I never have to depend on his decorating and furniture arranging expertise again. But one thing he did do right was get us set up for our television service through Memphis direct TV. At least when I come home from work I can still have a little normalcy in my life. Hopefully sometime soon I can work on getting the furniture in the right rooms.

A Bellagio, Campbell

It was nice of my hubby to reserved a seat for our valentines evening. Glad he was able to booked for the day though it was kind of late in doing reservation. He had us reserved at 5pm which was too early but it was a perfect time because after work we were both starved.

The ambiance inside was nice. It's a little tiny place but the decor and seating arrangement was cool. All white linens, some candle light and tiny flower to set up the table. We were greeted by the host and our table waiter was pretty nice too. He spoke italian. Trying to practice I guess because he told us he pretty much knew 50% of the language but he sounded right to my ear.

The food was good. I don't know about the hors d'oeuvres I don't have so much feel about it. I guess it was okay. Cold food really isn't my thing. The pasta dishes was really good. I would say par to my expectation. I got a little carried away with one that has the lobster. It was really a good dish. The main entree I got was the filet mignon. Restaurant cooked it medium rare. I asked them to cook medium for me but still it was kind of bloody. I wasn't into eating it that much. Aside from I was almost full. But the sauce and vegetable with it really complimented the dish. My hubby liked his and he did enjoy it. What I enjoyed most of the dining experience was the desert. I can't live without one. All 3 desert was fantastic. Love it!

Overall, it was nice to dine there. But maybe the pre-set menu price was a little over than what it is. I don't know maybe I am wrong. What I can say is that the experience I had with the place was pleasant. Service was good and the food as well.

Dusita - Thai Place

Hubby and I tried this little Thai place in El Camino. The name of the place is Dusita's. I am not too familiar with the restaurant though I always see it every time I drive El Camino. Hubby was looking for spicy food. He got tired of bland food.

Just trying to check if we could like the place, we did somewhat. Though I really don't like their bbq pork which was cold and taste was just okay but their garlic chicken was good. The pineapple rice was good but not really that good which I was hoping for. This is what you will get if you don't really read reviews. Anyway, somehow the basil rice that hubby got was good though the hot spicy was too much for my mouth.

I have mixed emotions with the place. I might going there just to get their garlic chicken but the rest I don't know if I would still want to.

Back To school

Well, well well what can I say? This is a drastic move. I haven't thought of it until I've realized there's no way for me to grow in my career if I don't take classes. I may have a degree in accounting in the PI but with no experience here accounting per say, companies just snob me. I hate it and I don't like it. So I hope just taking few classes can help boost my resume and confidence of a new employer. I hope one day I can get in to accounting field. I need a change so bad. I am already bored not growing at work.

So, with my 3 classes that I am taking, I don't know if I still have the energy to have some fun with other extra activities. Work, home and school is a challenge. I haven't tried taking 3 classes in one time. I don't know how I can manage with all of these. I will be a busy bee..
