Update -- Life, Extension, Short Video, Body Image

I think it's unnecessary to say this, since you may have already noticed... but I am incredibly slow... and infrequent with my posts.

In any case, first off. I'm doing good, so no worries :) I've had many adventures since I last posted though I am horrible at updating them.

So... in case you didn't know... I'm not extending. I was debating the question for a while and ultimately I was waiting and debating and searching. But yeah, coming back to the States in mid-January.

At the current time, I can't say which date. I'm working out plans for traveling and although my original plan was to come back on January 12th and give myself some break time before class (lecture starts on the 18th).... my plan now is to come back on the 20th... and basically miss the first week of class. Why?

My roommate Neha invited me to Nepal and her close friend is getting married. The marriage ceremony will be taking place from the 17th-19th... and honestly I want to go. I think this is an amazing opportunity and I may never come across it again. Unless maybe Neha gets married... and even then, I'm not sure if I would be able to go.

I'm going into my last week of lecture and finals... working on papers, reading, presentations. Last week we had a group presentation on Korean customs. Just for kicks... we made a video. I had a great time working with Charlene and Sarah (two of my close friends here) and although it's a comedic and strange video... For the most part, the customs are true. If you have any questions... I could answer them :)


Of course, there are some random references and inner jokes involved as well...

Haters gonna hate.
She is gorgeous and beautiful, and she is obviously talented. She could probably dance circles around many girls half her size.
Simply by weighing more... she is discounted by people. Ridiculous.

P.S. I decided to open a formspring. Ask me anything! Not that I promise I will answer everything... But yes, if you are a curious cat with a burning question, ask away: http://www.formspring.me/cleanandsunny
P.S.S. I've become inspired by the many beauty bloggers that I follow, so in the next few posts, I'll be reviewing beauty products I have tried while I was here :)

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...

Library Adventures #2: A More Ambitious Haul And Notes on the Last Book Haul

I'm happy to report I finished all the novels I borrowed from my first haul and I have a few notes I wanted to share about the books following my update on my 2nd Library Adventure :) I attempted to be more ambitious this time around and I chose books from a diverse selection of topics. Note to self: I definitely need to have a bag with me to carry my books around. My selections include: Super Freakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Insurance // Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner      * I really enjoyed Freakonomics and so I figured I should also check out the follow-up work. Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity // Joel Stein      * Joel Stein regularly contributes to Time magazine and his articles are usually the first ones I read when I receive a fresh edition, so I am excited to read a longer, in-depth piece by him. Barrio Boy  // Ernesto Galarza How Does It Feel To Be a Probl...
