Shoutout to Xuemin

Oh young Xuemin, why is your voice so loud,
When you talk, my ears ring for days.

Your voice carries in the wings of the library,
just as the stench of your gas did,
that one winter night.

If you can't handle my fart,
you can't handle my heart,
you told me
as your smell overwhelmed...
my senses,
and my lungs burst...
for fresh air.

Truly, truly,
I cannot handle your heart.
I would rather,
be able to breathe.

In another life,
I too,
will be a gas monster like you.
Only then,
can we join as one.

My Thoughts Upon Extending.

Extending from a semester to a year long program isn't some random thought that just recently occurred to me one day. This was a thought I had started contemplating a while ago, albeit too late in the semester for me to actually have prepared beforehand... but the past is a moot point. There's a lot of wouldas, couldas, and shouldas... but ultimately this is a question of what I CAN do NOW at this very moment. I've discussed this with my mom and at the very core of the argument, it really goes down to 2 things. 1) Money. But of course, it always comes down to money. 2) Graduating on time/ the commencement ceremony. If I extend into the year... I will have to stay an additional semester at UC Berkeley. An additional semester means no Cal Grants... which means approximately $5000-$6000 out of pocket/ loans that I will have to take out... given that the tuition doesn't skyrocket and given that Pell Grants don't disappear. Furthermore, there is the cost of my be...

Korean Beauty Products

I could go on a tangent about beauty standards in Korea... but I won't. My goal is to review the beauty products that I have bought and tried here in Korea. In case you've ever visited Korea or ever plan to visit Korea, one of the first things you will notice is the overabundance of makeup stores -- Etude House, Nature Republic, TheFaceShop, Innisfree, Missha, Saem, It's Skin, Hanskin, Aritaum... the list goes on. Most of these stores are easily seen in shopping areas, university areas, and subway stations. In many locations, 2 or more of the same branches can be found within a 1/2 radius... I kid you not. Anyways, my point is that with such an abundance of stores and beauty products, it can be difficult to decide what products are worth it... and which aren't. The below reviews are solely my own opinion and derive from my personal experience with said products, so take from it what you will. *** First off, I'm actually going to review a U.S. product I purc...

Updates and Such

Currently working on the construction of a second blog -- this second one will be more of a collection of my ramblings... of course, when it is completed, I will post a link here. The latest song on repeat: My past week: -Had an alright week, did okay on a midterm -Decided to drop my International Rural Development class in lieu of Global Change Biology -Tried Phil's coffee and Phil's Sliders -- both were delish -Assisted in a high school tour -- I had forgotten how young and eager you are when you are still in high school and it was interesting to see my younger self in these high school students -Celebrated Laura's birthday :) My ramblings (philosophical and whatnot): *I never want to be apathetic to the world or to the struggles and plights of the people around me, be they loved ones or strangers. *It's not about the appearance of being "nice" or about being "good" -- although giving is not an obligation, to care for fellow human bei...
