Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had a lovely day and evening for my 22nd birthday. I felt sophisticated and cool, and prepared to take on the new year.

During lunch, two of my coworkers treated me to some Japanese food. It was delicious and I was surprised I ate it all. I was so full, but they joked I needed the food because of all the drinking they believed would ensue later that evening.

I had a little happy hour get together with my coworkers after work, and it was so much fun! We drank some cocktails and had a lot of laughs. Luckily I do not drink too much so there was no worry of me getting sick to my stomach. It was a nice way to celebrate with my work family.

Afterwards Mando treated me to dinner at Five Restaurant, a bistro and bar that is part of the Shattuck Plaza Hotel in Downtown Berkeley. The food was excellent and I even got a free ice cream sundae for my birthday!

Pardon my photos if it seems to focus sole-y on the shoes. (Pun intended). I do love these heels and I feel slightly dangerous in them. Definitely lets loose the inner rebel like a motorcycle jacket would.

I enjoyed the hotel’s restaurant and the ambiance. I am really glad I finally had dinner here and took photos in the lobby. 

While I am sad my birthday is only celebrated for one day, it is time to enjoy the rest of this year and accomplish my birthday resolutions by this time next year!
