3 weeks until departure

Hello unseen audience! It's three weeks until I hop on a plane and head over to Korea. It has been my dream to study abroad and it's finally happening this summer. I will be out of the country for 2 months, with a small trip to Taiwan for 5 days in the beginning of August. I am so excited, especially because I'll be going with two of my friends from school and we will be able to travel & eat & study & struggle & play together. I am considering starting some kind of video blog while I'm over there so I can share with all of you (whoever is out there..) my experiences while I'm abroad. I'll keep you updated! :)

bye bye until next time ^

Thursday

introduction: nathan

Hello unseen audience,  I want to introduce you to my good friend Nathan! It is his birthday today so I thought that it would be a good day to post this :)





I think out of my close friends here at UCLA, I have known him the longest (which is about 5 years now). In high school, we did marching band for two seasons together and drumline for one season and also ate with the same people for lunch (when he didn't have some kind of meeting lol...) Honestly, when I first met him, I thought that he was strange and so I didn't really associate myself with him (I was also a brat at that time..). Anyways, over time, I got to know him more and I found that he is actually someone who is very kind, thoughtful, wise, funny, and a very good friend. When I started attending UCLA, Nathan really helped me a lot.. He always offered his room to study and time to talk about my problems and prayed for me when I needed it.. The beginning of college was pretty rough and I'm glad that he was there to help me through it. He's a solid brother in Christ and I am so grateful for his presence in my life. I am so glad that he's going to be around for the next few years so I can still bother him. hahaha.

bye bye for now ^ HIIIIII NATHAN




Sunday

lazy T-T

I have come to a realization that I am a naturally very lazy and un-motivated person.

If there's nothing immediate to do, I have little to no motivation to do any productive and important-to-my-future-career-and-life work. I don't know why, but I always thought I was a motivated person who was generally on top on my work.. But college has shown me otherwise. I have two major papers (for a graduate school course) due in the next two weeks, a major homework assignment due, and a midterm in two days for a class I am a good two weeks behind in... Not to mention that I'm at least a month behind in my grad class readings.. (and for a quarter system where you only have 10 weeks of class, I'm pretty behind)......  I know I had plenty of time to work on all these things and yet I'm so behind... Well here's to little to no sleep this week! ~

bye bye until next time ^

Balboa Park

I like plants and flowers and I like taking pictures of them. I went to the Botanical Gardens at Balboa Park and so I wanted to share them with you :) Enjoy!


    

Saturday

pictures of myself

Hello unseen audience,
A couple weeks ago I decided to temporarily deactivate my Facebook and Instagram accounts.  Recently, I think I have been overly distracted by social media and also prone to compare my life with others. It has been a really good break and most of my life is exactly the same as before.

For some reason, I'm having a dilemma of what to do with pictures of myself. A couple of months ago, I would have jumped to the opportunity to post it on Instagram or put it in my album on Facebook. I can't post it on Flickr because the the pictures posted there are reserved only for pictures that I have taken. So I resort to my blog. I know it's pretty conceited of me to want to share pictures of myself.. But here you go I guess!






bye bye until next time ^
