So now that I'm finished posting my Best of 2013 lists, it's time to go back posting regular updates on my regular life.

Nothing much has been going on. I did have a job interview last week which I never got to share what happened. I actually went to take an assessment exam and an interview as well. But it seems like I did not get the job as I have received no feedback since then. Another wasted opportunity as I felt like I nailed the exam. I probably faltered during the interview or perhaps I was asking a higher salary. I did not give them any specific amount except that I wanted a salary that is higher than any of my previous salaries which I realized may be too much for the position I applied for. But to be totally honest, despite how attractive the job may entail, I suddenly became hesitant to receive a job offer after learning that their AM shift is from 10 am to 7 pm. I was hoping the shift would start earlier for personal and practical reasons but it's too late to dwell on this anyway and time to move on and look for another job.

We had dinner with my uncle from China who was having a short vacation here in the country. He talked updates on his life and career as well He gave us our Christmas gifts and I received an H&M shades which was really cool. I actually received an aviator type but after seeing my younger brother receiving shades as well but in a different style, I asked for a trade since I already had the same type. The one he got was a simple black wayfarer and I wanted to add one in my collection. I was so happy that he agreed to make a switch.
