I will lose so much weight at this rate =)

Today was my second day of my internship at Monopoly Design. I woke up early, yet again, at 3AM. Probably due to me sleeping around 8PM the night before. I still haven't fully recovered from my Jetlag.  I woke up and I took a shower. Our wonderful maid Celly cooked me some sausage with rice, and toast with butter. I left for work 30 minutes before I started. It is about a 10 minute walk from where I am living. I got around the buildling early, so I stopped by starbucks coffee and got a iced grande vanilla hazelnut latte, yum. It tasted slightly different from what I am used to in the States, but it was still good to put coffee in my mouth. When I went to the Office, I started working more on the projects they had assigned to me the day before. For lunch, I ended up going to my Ninang's office and ate grilled chicken, chicken adobo, bachoy, and rice. Also, I finished the strawberry animal pudding, whom I named Topher. LOL. Everyone in the office seems nice, but I feel like there's a definite language barrier that prevents us from proper communication. There are a few people that introduced themselves to me. I've never been put into the situation where I didn't know anybody. 

After work, I took the MTR train to causeway bay. That was no problem. Finding IKEA was a BITCH to do. The IKEA was supposedly in Gloucester drive. I walked up and down that, when I found out that it was on the drive, but the entrance of the building was in the adjascent street. Everything in this IKEA was SO MUCH SMALLER than in IKEA Seattle. Their Selfserve department is TINY, like 8 aisles. Their "as is" department is called the "bargain corner". I ended up buying some pillows, pillow cases, and a lint roller. I went over to SOGO mall and I bought NOT ONE, but TWO messenger bags. They were really nice! Both are puma, one black and one brown. Afterwards I ate at a restaurant alone, and it was called "Anytime" . I had this spaghetti which was pretty good. Coming home from causeway was so confusing. I was supposed to get an the train that was going towards Wan Chai, instead i went to the one that was going towards Chai Wan. WTF, they should name these places less confusingly. Forreal. I was sweating like a cow, NOT CUTE. Got home, and finally took a shower, lovely, the end.
