Back in the Bay

Leaving was incredibly sad of course. Thanks to Henry, Nicole, and Kevin for seeing me out.

I was a mess. Long, horrible flight back -- lots of turbulence, so much so that the crew had to strap themselves down. I thought I was going to die over the Pacific. Haha. Motion sickness, blech.

My dad, Ngoc, Hien, and Lisa greeted me as I came off the flight with balloons and a sign, hahaha -- one of my secret desires I can cross off my bucket list. After the mess of lugging my 3 bags on two airport carts through customs and the secondary security check, it was a welcome sight. Thanks for coming to see me!

It's both nice and sad to be home. Nice to be able to see my family. Sad because I'm back to reality.

First, unpacked. Trip to Fresco (recently opened near my house) and Target. Napped then cleaned. Firecrackers, whee!

First meal: tacos -- so yummy! Second meal: fruits.

Also, feeling jetlagged -- super tired, super nauseous. I forgot how expensive everything is. Why is water so pricey????!

Also, can't fix my laptop time back to the Bay Area, haha.

Also, is it sad that I feel like a freshman again?

Also, yay Patriots! Superbowl Party!!!

One of the latest songs I heard yesterday that I quite like...

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...

huhhhhhhhh

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, ...
