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...

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 ...
