Things Lea is Thankful for Week 1

I am trying to get back on track in blogging and what better way to jump-start than to list down all the happy memories of the week that passed. I think that this is also a good way for me to have a positive outlook on a Monday if I look back at all the things that have made me smile.

So yeah, I'm such an imbecile that I think doing all these stuff is already a daunting "adulting" (get it?).
