Obtainable Goals: Conquering the RSF & Food Finds & Forever21 order

I've decided to switch back or rather add some more easily obtainable goals.
One of which is to try every single Group-X exercise class offered by the RSF (the campus gym) at least once by the end of the semester or at the very least, this summer -- although I must say, the caveat might be the aqua classes given I don't have swimwear here and classes in Hearst Gym....

In the past, I have tried:
Bollywood -- quite fun but the steps can get complicated
Cardio Kickboxing -- whew, what a work out, I couldn't even make it through the whole session
Some yoga class but I can't remember which one -- it was so slow, I almost fell asleep

This semester, I have tried:
Nia -- quite fun, the instructor was super nice and it was a lot about grounding yourself and finding yourself
Toning Express -- quite intense and quick too, only 30 minutes!

This week alone, I have tried:
Power Yoga -- Not bad, not too rigorous either -- there was a focus on aligning your breath with your movements
Core Blast -- super intense, I couldn't make it through a session but man, what a sweat-dripping work out
Body Toning -- pretty neat and it was definitely a good work out -- not as intense as core blast but definitely a class I would attend again

In regards to food adventures... when you take chances, sometimes you hit a jackpot, sometimes, you don't.

Like today for instance, when I wanted a VitaminWater but couldn't find it so I decided to be adventurous and try this:
Sobe Lifewater in black and blue berry

Clearly, from my face, this is a no for me. This is single-handedly one of the most hideous drinks I have ever had in my life. Yes, I realize this refers to sight and no, I'm not critiquing the design, if anything, the design is quite quirky. It's just the taste is so disgusting that it affects more than just my sense of taste. Hence, it's hideous. I can't even look at it cause it's so gross.

The 0 calories should have scared me away... oh wells. The initial taste isn't bad, but the aftertaste is just horrible, like swallowing a bag of splenda. Some people may be okay with it, but I definitely am not.

Also, came back from the gym to a nice surprise -- my Forever21 order came in, yayyyy!
I would take a picture of my purchases but unfortunately, I haven't showered yet.

Off to a successful Friday, I go!!!!

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...

My Thoughts Upon Extending.

Extending from a semester to a year long program isn't some random thought that just recently occurred to me one day. This was a thought I had started contemplating a while ago, albeit too late in the semester for me to actually have prepared beforehand... but the past is a moot point. There's a lot of wouldas, couldas, and shouldas... but ultimately this is a question of what I CAN do NOW at this very moment. I've discussed this with my mom and at the very core of the argument, it really goes down to 2 things. 1) Money. But of course, it always comes down to money. 2) Graduating on time/ the commencement ceremony. If I extend into the year... I will have to stay an additional semester at UC Berkeley. An additional semester means no Cal Grants... which means approximately $5000-$6000 out of pocket/ loans that I will have to take out... given that the tuition doesn't skyrocket and given that Pell Grants don't disappear. Furthermore, there is the cost of my be...

Overwhelmed, School, Study Abroad, and Breaks

I've been completely overwhelmed this week by the amount of work I have to catch up on. It's just constant build-up of work... Midterm on Wednesday, you can do it Hang, fighting! ___ In other news, took a break and went to watch the Vow with Janice and Xuemin. Meh. I've seen better. End of story. It was fun going to the movies though -- movie food fun! Also, during this past weekend, my sister and I went to upgrade our phone plan. My lovely sister decided to gift me with a smartphone but of course, with many options I'm always so confused. I decided on the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket... which is cool and all -- nice graphics, fast, sim card, etc. but it's also huge! it barely fits in my hand... and I'm having difficulties finding covers... I may just end up returning it for the Iphone 4s... I'll let you know. ____ In additional news... Some of you might have known this, but before I returned for the semester from South Korea, I had my heart set ...
