Yada Yada Yada Awards 2011 and New Year Resolution

As usual this time of the year is to put in your to do list things to do and set new excitable challenges for the new year. Last year wasn't bad at all, I had the chance going to really nice places, met amazing people, and ate in awesome restaurants, food trucks, markets, and the weirdest places.

Left my Bike in Soho

Coming back to life sorry to the resolution looking back to 2011 this year as usual will add to the list the classic ones as taming the bulge and losing the additional stones which is every year more difficult to tackle, keep more in touch with my family and friends that are now away from my new home, keep helping others like the 10k run supporting cancer I did this year, and eating in new places and trying weird stuff as usual that shouldn’t be difficult right.
