Goals of my life -- present and future

Had an in-depth conversation last night with my roommates about the future.

Anyways, the gist of it is that I need to have goals and plans.

Start small, dream big. My end goal in life is to be happy, so clearly there is a lot of flexibility in that. But yes, I'll broadcast some of my little and large goals in life, so that both myself and others can keep me accountable and so I will remember and not lose sight of what I want.

This weekend's goals
*Have read and be ready for discussions this upcoming week -- hopefully I can catch up fully, but that would take a little more time
*Apply for at least 3 jobs

Small, achievable, short-term goals to be achieved by the time this semester ends in May:
*130 is the ideal goal but not entirely realistically achievable, so losing 5 pounds per month
EDIT (2.3.12) When (not if) I reach this goal, Janice has promised that she will purchase me a whole meal from WINGSTOP! YEEE! And I have promised that I will purchase a (as in a single whole 1 lol) tiramisu torte from Trader Joe's and share it with everybody! YEEE!
*Complete at least volume 1 of the Korean book that I purchased

Long-term dreams and future goals
*Study for the LSATS and apply by 2015 (why then? because I'm giving myself some time) -- or conversely for me to study and apply for grad school but law school to never be too far off
*Intern at the Hague
*Buy my mom a car
EDIT (2.2.2012) *Stop thinking about the past and all the mistakes I made, and continually look towards tomorrow.

Every day is a new day. It's never too late for me to change into a better person and for me to make better, more informed decisions.

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...
