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.

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...
