Eating a heavy meal to perk myself up

I had a late-night meeting (9:15p-10:15p) last friday with some colleagues from the Centre office in Europe (teleconference). Was already so sleepy since I only had about four hours of sleep, and I still went to attend my scheduled personal training session with my new trainer at the gym. So I was thinking... "I need something to perk myself up, and I need it minus the carbs". So I decided to pass by Army Navy and grab myself a heart-stopping Breakfast burrito and a large Libertea (for caffeine overload).

The Breakfast burrito has scrambled eggs, broken up hash browns, shredded sausage and cilantro (yes, no rice). Condiments of garlic sauce and salsa is included.

During the meeting, I was devouring this baby. It's enough to fill you up to content. My colleague pointed out that you get a literally heart-stopping burrito sans the rice carbs. I can only eat this once a month I guess. But never the less, was able to survive the meeting and still got really perked up (thanks to the large Libertea) to drive myself home without feeling sleepy. And when I got home, the caffeine rush crashed, with me included on the bed.

Christmas came and went, New year felt like last...

Last Christmas (nope, I didn't give you my heart and you gave it away) felt like it just came and went. The family celebrated Christmas outside of the country for the first time. We spent in in Singapore since my sister-in-law got expatriated there a month prior. We still cooked Christmas dinner (in almost the traditional way we're used to). But ofcourse, some ingredients aren't just the same as what you're used to using.

My point being, I didn't really feel Christmas much this year. Could it just be a personal thing? Or could it be because of the situation of the economy around the globe? I felt like there wasn't as much decors as previous years. Not much light, not much hype, not much in sight.

This new year, I feel like it's just an extension of last year. Not much change. How about you guys? How did your Christmas celebration go? Is it just me, or are we all stuck in an extension of last year?
