Self-fulfilling Prophecy

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior.  -Wiki
Seriously need to reconsider how I analyze myself in order to change the perceptions of others. The most necessary change starts from within.


Been eating and exploring as always, some highlights and adventures:


 It's cheese fries from I.B.'s! My secret pleasure :) I was craving them for quite some time

 Group visit to the Jelly Belly factory before skydiving

 Janice and her passport at Kirala before I ate the most delicious sashimi I had ever tried. 

 Finally tried the ever popular baked potato at Northside Cafe... Guess I'm not really a baked potato kind of girl. 

 Fried mantou (steamed bun) at Mandarin Garden... It was eh. 

The group of students I led for tours during Senior Weekend. What a bright and beautiful bunch :)

 Hu tieu trieu chau from VH noodle house. Don't really get the rave reviews...

 French dip sandwich at last from Northside Cafe

The last turkey cranberry sandwich I may ever get from Northside Cafe... I'll miss you!
Chili from Northside Cafe... eh.

Garlic Naan from Himalayan Flavors. Gah, I'm drooling.
Mango Lassi


Chicken Tikka Masala and a Bhutanese dish... Deliciousness as always from Himalayan Flavors :)

Say cheese!


A visit to Cafe Biere for bottomless mimosas. Go big or go home! We went home after just 2. lol.

I've become a ginger snaps snob. These ginger thins are too light on the ginger flavor for me. No kick to them

Crispy chicken from King Dong. Why so stingy?
Roast duck lunch special from Happy Valley. Tasty, kinda overly salted.


Caramel macchiato! Ahhhh, it's that time of year again! Happy hour at starbucks, I am overjoyed :)

Some sort of a salmon roll from CU Sushi... delicious.

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...
