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...

huhhhhhhhh

You know how you feel when you are conflicted and then you get advice and then u feel unconflicted and then something inspires you or changes your mind and you are confused all over again. Yeah... that's where I'm at again. I thought I was sure about not extending. But even with all my doubts and logic, I still want to extend. Logically, financially, for all the reasonable possible reasons, all signs point to me going home... but the semester is half over and I have barely explored Seoul, much less South Korea, and Asia. My heart wants to stay. The heart wants what it wants. But my brain tells me to go home. But but... I think about it... and when will I ever have the chance to be an undergrad student at Yonsei again? At the end of the day, which decision will I regret more? Going home or staying? Pah..... ___ In other news, updates about my recent activities.... I went on a space tour company the other day/yesterday... not that interesting... after a short nap, ...
