Confession: I Can’t Do It All

February 13, 2012

I know. You’re shocked. SHOCKED. This realization makes me feel crummy, and weak like a cop-out but the fact is, I’m not that 18 year old that can take 17 credits/semester, work two jobs, commute and manage to get on the Dean’s List. My brain isn’t wired like that anymore. I really thought I could [...]

February 8, 2012

In 2011, I traveled a lot more than I had before, seeing parts of the U.S. I hadn’t yet seen, and falling in love with travel more and more (minus the part where I got stranded at airports for hours at end). In 2012, I intend to continue this tradition of travel since I’m now [...]

February 7, 2012

I have awesomely talented friends.  Sometimes, their talents happen to feed certain addictions of mine, like handmade jewelry and polka dots. Michelle is the creative genius behind Cynical Redhead Creations. In her own words: “I love pinup girls, kawaii fabrics, fluffy kitties and all things pulp fiction-y.  I make accessories and jewelry that can be [...]

Vampires, Mockingjays, Writers, and Giveaways

February 2, 2012

When I first heard about Vampire Diaries, I cringed. I said “Hahaha, no” because, let’s be honest: We’ve all been a little scarred about vampires in today’s pop culture thanks to a sparkling, brooding one we all know and hate. Then it was on Netflix. As someone who works from home and needs background noise [...]

Kristen Bell, Please Be My Best Friend

January 31, 2012

I’m not one of those people who follows celebrity lives. I have a few celebrities whose work I enjoy, who I have girl crushes on and the guys who make me drool. But then there’s Kristen Bell. I have to be honest, I was kind of annoyed with her in Heroes but she won me [...]

The Dangerous Thing About Complacency

January 24, 2012

in·de·pend·ence noun 2. freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like,of others. free·dom noun 2. exemption from external control, interference, regulation,etc. 3. the power to determine action without restraint.

Ten on Tuesday

January 3, 2012

First one of the year! And so perfect since I haven’t been able to get a real post out yet. Thanks Chelsea!  1. What did you get for Christmas? All practical stuff, which I love. The in-laws got us a vacuum, the bro-in-law got me a Starbucks card, and my parents got me a bottle [...]

Peace Out 2011

December 30, 2011

I’m currently sitting in the Starbucks where I had my first cup of coffee back in high school.  Out of the corner of my eye, I can see the corner where there used to be a Rocky’s Video 16 years ago, when I first moved to the US.  I remember walking to the video store [...]

This Is Not A List of Resolutions

December 23, 2011

Around this time of year, the blogosphere is filled with reflections, resolutions, and everything in between. Over the last couple of years, I’ve come to learn a lot about myself but that’s because I didn’t leave my reflection to the end of the year. I get the sentiment – a new year is peeking at [...]
