Personal update at lastttttt

I received a comment that I stopped making personal updates, and so here it is Neha, pictures of my lovely lovely face and personal adventures-- by the way, I love that you still check up on me, haha

Had to add this picture :)


As I always do, let's do this backwards. Haha.

Today (4/12/12): Had an alright day -- gym, shower, classes, followed by a delicious bacon burger from Bongo Burger with young Laura and young Janice. Always a delicious adventure.

Also also, I received my awesome birthday presents from Laura!!!! Yeeee, I love them! A book of sites, a book of important french words and sentences, and a lovely lovely journal and an even lovelier card -- kekekeke, love love love. Thanks Laura!!!!!

Couple this with the other awesome birthday present I received a while back from Lisa, I am all set!!!!
It's even annotated with TIPS!!!!! YEEEEEEEE! Thanks Lisa!!!!

Oh and of course, Laura introduced us to the video trailer that made her fall in love with the movie Ted Is Real. I would add a link but uh... the movie's rated R... and I don't want to offend anyone.
But hint, there is a delightfully catchy song about Thunder and thunder buddies.

And then ironically, there was a huge random thunder storm tonight, leading the three of us to text/sing the song. Haha.


Some food adventures this week:

A blueberry creme pie from Nation's. A bit overly sweet... creme isn't really my thing... I'll probably stick to Lemon Meringue or one of the Cheesecakes.

Carne asada taco and a fish taco from Casa Bernal on Shattuck. Very delicious and fresh fried tortilla chips, awesome!!!

Macintosh apple from Berkeley Bowl. Ehh, not my cup of tea. Too soft and not enough crunch for me. But man, look at how shiny it is!!!



Some shopping adventures this weekend:


I thought I looked quite spiffy in my jacket but the fit was kinda off and I was out-voted. Oh wells, my poncho is radddddd :) Who uses the word rad nowadays? ME! :)

Afternoon Tea at Crown and Crumpet in Ghiradelli Square on Easter Sunday
Quite a bougie Easter Sunday if I do say so myself. Experienced afternoon tea for the first time this weekend. Pretty pricey and an interesting experience but I probably wouldn't come back again to this specific location for afternoon tea. Our waiter was extremely nice but food service was terribly slow and pretty average for the high price.

The end of an adventure: Graduation on the horizon
I attended a grad fair on Friday and picked up my grad tickets and bought my cap and gown. Truly truly the end of a long journey but the beginning of another.
The picture was originally quite nice with my name and all that jazz but I realized I didn't really want my information all out there and what not. And indeed I think that is the conundrum of having a blog. It's private but it's also public and sadly, there are quite a large number of creepers out there nowadays.

Well, that's all for now. I have quite a bit more of updating to do but I'm so behind! :(

Minor Update While Studying

As I'm currently in the middle of midterms (two midterm papers due in approx. 1.5 days), I don't really have an opportunity to sit and type, but just a minor update. Among my long list of things-to-do (which is still currently sitting in the draft section of my blog and is continually updated but yet to be posted), I've added the goal to be able to successfully sing(/rap...) one of Tablo's songs by the end of the semester. Epik High (the group of which Tablo is a rapper and leader of) was one of the first Korean artists that I was exposed to as a young 6th grader. It was love at first sound... I remember back in the days... Tablo is one of those completely talented, genius type folks that make me go "WOW". Anyways, I digress. He recently released his CD (pt 1, which I am buying asap along with part 2 probably) after a 2-year hiatus and it's just gorgeous. The meanings of the lyrics, the beat, the sounds... everything flows so beautifully. Especiall...

Shoutout to Janice

Oh Janice, young child with almond eyes, why do you look like a nut, when you smile? Your round head and pale skin, I think you look like a fresh peanut. Your "mama hang" whine is fresh and refreshing But your smell is not. Why oh why, does Janice smile with almond eyes?

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 you...
