Simple Pleasures

Simple pleasures of today:

1. Earl Grey - My affair with Earl Grey began during my first year of UBC when I was introduced to London Fog at Starbucks. Then when I went to China earlier this year, my mom packed me a can of Earl Grey to bring with me (I know, why would anyone bring tea to China? But I'm glad she did pack it). And from then on, I just went solo with EG - no milk, no syrup, no sugar, nothing. And now, in my final year of UBC, Earl Grey is my daily campanion to all my 9am/9:30am classes to wake me up and to keep me warm (I bring it in my trusty Japanese thermos that keeps water piping hot even after 2 hours). Last week, my mom came home from work with an ENTIRE plastic bag of Earl Grey teabags from work (my mom's job offers wonderful benefits like no other: free spices for any cooking/baking needs, organic raisins/craisins, fair-trade chocolate bars, nutrition bars, health foods...)

2. Cadbury Fruits 'n' Nuts chocolate bar - this one's quite self explanatory. And yes, the cadbury commercial with the 2 kids with popping eyebrows worked.

3. For some reason, it feels very Christmas-y today.
