享受早午餐(10:00 AM)

Enjoying a Mid-morning Brunch

Ever since I became a freelancer, the happiest time of the day is the morning.

I’m glad I can relax in the morning, when everyone else is busy.

This morning I went to a restaurant famous for its brunch buffet.

I called Bo-ra who works near the restaurant. 

The french toast was so delicious, I might go there again tomorrow. 

They had great coffee, too. And the cheese cake was heavenly; I had to have 2 pieces of it.

Bo-ra and I talked a lot about our jobs. 

Bo-ra is a super girl who thinks her career is the most important thing.

I ’m so proud to have such a  passionate person as a friend.

We wondered how we will be in 10 years. Most probably living as successful and happy women!

Cheers! With our coffee cups for our future!

TRANS

我变成自由职业者以后最幸福的时间就是早晨。
当别人忙碌时,我可以迎接一个轻松的早晨,所以很幸福。
今天早上我去了一个以自助早午餐而闻名的餐厅。
也叫上了在餐厅附近工作的Bo-ra。
法国吐司太好吃了,明天我可能会再去。
咖啡也很棒。奶油蛋糕真是太好吃了,所以我吃了两块。
我和Bo-ra 聊了很多工作上的事情。
Bo-ra 是以工作为中心的女超人。
她总是很热情,我很荣幸能成为她的朋友。
我们想象着自己10 年后的样子。到时我们肯定是既成功又幸福的女人! 
以咖啡代酒,为我们的未来干杯!
