Why I Blog

Yes, I blog to keep my friends and family updated about my whereabouts. And yes, I blog for fun. And yes, I blog to rant and share a peace of myself in written form.

But I also blog because I follow other bloggers and I'm inspired by their passions and their thoughts and their experiences. And because they inspire me to challenge traditional modes of thinking. And because they introduce me to opportunities I haven't heard of, adventures I haven't
attempted, and places I haven't explored. And sometimes because it's plain interesting and fun to hear about the lives and passions and adventures of other people :)

The following blogger is someone I only recently began reading, but I'm really inspired and so, I thought I would share.

Random note: I was randomly reading comments and somehow I ended up going to another blogger's site and then I found out that the blogger whose link I pasted above is a UC Berkeley alumna, Ethnic Studies major. I had that "OHHHHHHHHHH, that's why...." moment. It's strange how fitting to Ethnic Studies I am. And it's strange how small the world is.

Extra random note: The more and more removed I am from Berkeley, the more I realize how perfect of a major Ethnic Studies is for me. People might hate on it and sometimes I might find it impractical, but it's enabled me to see my life privileges for what they are and its taught me to continually question and challenge everything :)

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...

You know how you feel when you are conflicted and then you get advice and then u feel unconflicted and then something inspires you or changes your mind and you are confused all over again. Yeah... that's where I'm at again. I thought I was sure about not extending. But even with all my doubts and logic, I still want to extend. Logically, financially, for all the reasonable possible reasons, all signs point to me going home... but the semester is half over and I have barely explored Seoul, much less South Korea, and Asia. My heart wants to stay. The heart wants what it wants. But my brain tells me to go home. But but... I think about it... and when will I ever have the chance to be an undergrad student at Yonsei again? At the end of the day, which decision will I regret more? Going home or staying? Pah..... ___ In other news, updates about my recent activities.... I went on a space tour company the other day/yesterday... not that interesting... after a short nap, ...
