Today I spent most of the day at a holiday office party which was so much fun! The whole staff got together to decorate the place with fun decorations and treats.

I really loved the stuffed animals all around the table... they were so adorable!

Each person invited to the party was supposed to bring some sort of food contribution. In my case, everyone wanted me to bring something "Panamanian". Well, I tried to make some Panamanian style fried plantains... let's just say it was an experience and leave it at that... hehe.

During the Holiday Party, my boss decided to give out certificates to each student consultant (that's what I do if you didn't know). She gave me a Shining Start certificate!

She said that I was the heartbeat and joy of the entire office. Then other people stepped in to say that I was the sweetest student consultant ever as well as the most fashionable one. So many people said so many unexpectedly sweet things that I even got teary eyed... it was a very special moment for me :)

I really made some nice friends at my job. They were all so sweet to me and I'm going to miss them all!

What a coincidence your earings and necklace were prepared for this moment. You look great in this outfit, everything combining perfectly with a perfect balance. You are 1 of a kind and wonderful too, that is why you are wonnie or 1derful. jgm

  13. Hey Marie !
    I love this outfit. And i just wanted to say that in India also people love to those fried Plantains. They are a type of banana cut when raw and fried in coconut oil with salt and a bit of chille powder. Would love to know how it is made in Panama.
