Tis the Season
The end of Halloween means one thing. It is time to bring down the spooky decorations and put up the Christmas lights. Between Halloween and Christmas we have Thanksgiving but that is a holiday that most people seem to over look when it comes to decorations. From now until the new it is all about Christmas. Wednesday I worked in Utazu, a school that is pretty close to Starbucks, the only anywhere near me. As I was ordering my usual drink I noticed signs for a new drink, one of their seasonal specials. It instantly reminded me of the usual Christmas flavors that Starbucks puts out at this time of the year. The three common ones are eggnog, peppermint mocha, and something with pumpkin spice.
I must admit I was pretty excited to try this new drink and see how it compared. Unfortunately it was a total disappointment as far as holiday drinks goes. The frap itself was acceptable but not something I would repeat. Whats your favorite drink during the "holiday season?"

Random facts...to impress!
Sometimes people have knowledge about things that are completely useless, or have no bearing in whatever situation they are currently in. More often than not people spew out these bits of "nonsense" to appear smart. So, without further ado...
Did you know, when a male penguin falls in love with a female penguin, he searches the entire beach to find the perfect pebble to present to her?
Okay, maybe this isn't entirely useless, as I can ask you questions to make you think about the situation. First of all, penguins in love! D'awww!
Okay, now that that is out of the way, let's take a look at what is being said. "He searches the entire beach to find the perfect pebble [for her]." Talk about dedication. Not just any old pebble will do; it has to be "perfect".
Do you remember the last you went looking for a gift for a special someone? When was it? How long did you search for the present? Was it the "perfect" gift?
I'm not great at getting gifts myself. I never know what to get a person, and I always end up hurting myself stressing over it, hahaha.
