Ramblings

I was starting to forget:
"Each moment -- travel teaches you -- is divine: each moment on the road, each moment at home. Cherish it."


I need to cherish and appreciate each and every moment that I am here. 


I haven't had the chance to upload with pictures yet, but I will soon. I had an exciting day today, even though I started pretty late. 


My roommate and I were speaking about our wishlist, and honestly I've knocked off a lot in a short amount
-I have visited Lotte World (an amusement park which is their Disneyland equivalent)
-I have seen the light show at the Han River
-I have had jajangmyun and McDonalds delivery


There was some other stuff but I can't remember. Haha. I will update soon with my new wishlist :)

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...

Slow Down, I'm Moving Too Fast, You Know You Can't Catch Me

I went home to San Jose this previous weekend with Xuemin and though we didn't do much, except a small barbeque at the house, it was definitely nice just getting away from Berkeley. We tried a new pho restaurant, Pho Que Huoung, oh so disappointing. We also tried Hiro Sushi, also another disappointment (read Xuemin's yelp review for more details). But again, it takes tasting something not so stellar, to know what you consider delicious. We finished moving on to the new summer sublet on Wednesday and though it was a hassle, we have now settled in. At the time, I wasn't really thinking about the distance from campus but as I walked by at 9PM after my class ended, I definitely was conscious of everything -- the darkness, the shadiness, the distance... I miss our old studio :( Classes are going pretty good. I'm enjoying both the Antebellum U.S. history class and the Racism in U.S. Law course. In both courses, we have just finished discussing Andrew Jackson's pre...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

I wanted to add some funny or inspirational quote or image. I have nothing. Instead... the below is slightly amusing. In any case, as Thanksgiving was approaching, I realized that this is the first time I have celebrated Thanksgiving away from my family. It was a sobering and sad thought. I'm extremely grateful and thankful to have been blessed with my family and extended family, my friends, my mentors, my experiences, my life. And it needs to be said: I'm thankful to have all of you in my life. And I'm thankful for all your constant support and love. Anyways, what I wanted to say was that I hope everyone, especially all my loved ones (that means you!) will have an amazing, wonderful, joyful Thanksgiving. Hope you can share it with all your loved ones. P.S. If you are going Black Friday shopping, be safe! I looked at the ads, slim pickings this year, but the experience is always fun :) Happy Bargains!
