a good meal to finish off the year :P... (I love meat!)

*for any vegans itching to judge... yes, we need meat! I'm allergic to soy, beans, etc. and my body needs iron from meat!

Isaiah 9:6-7 

For to Us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

I was so tempted to buy these Mickey and Minnie Mouse set... BUT... I simply don't know where to put them in my house... so... this purchase will need to wait till next year.

There was a point in my life where I had Subway EVERY.DAY. (That's because that was the only option available on my side of campus... 😂 )... I decided to order from Subway today and ... nostalgia hit me... <3 I almost forgot how much I liked it.

heated bus stops

 

I haven't ridden on a bus in a long time... and to my surprise, these new bus stops have heaters installed! It was very warm and toasty <3

Today I Learned... Pinecones

 

closed vs open pinecones

Today I learned the difference between open and closed pinecones.

By default, they are open, but when wet, they close to protect the seeds inside).

I picked up the opened ones (ones on the right) yesterday when it was bright and sunny, and the closed ones today, after a huge rainstorm. I was curious when I saw that they all closed today, and after an observation and a quick Google search (to confirm my observation), they close when it is wet and cold.

These pinecones have a mind of their own :O

Kimchi and Cheese Rice Balls

I've been craving hot and spicy foods during this winter season... and this is one of the things I really like

 

before this, I didn't know Koreans had rice balls like Japanese onigiri

Unfortunately, the cheese is not chewy or stringy... it is just... normal. cheese. :(

This is the brand, for anyone interested :)

Christmas decorations

 

These snowmen are so cute <3

different eggs

 

I couldn't help but notice how elongated and pointy this egg is. (It wasn't a double yolk but it sure looked like it could have been)

Colour Personality Test

 

I got yellow :)

These were the other possibilities available.

Out of all of these, I would not have guessed I'm "joy" 🤗

link to the colour personality test.

I just realized after taking the test that they only focus on 4 colours: Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue
