SB 2013



Sneak peek from the photo shoot.

Welcome back to blogosphere!” said no one ever.

Spring break is coming to an end, and I also got my computer fixed and reformatted! Sounds like the only spring-cleaning I need to do…only kidding. I think my biggest secret is that I’m a neat freak when it comes to school, but my room will always remain a mess. And I have people to vouch for my messiness.

Spring break, something I thought I would never have again post college, but I’m happy to enjoy it once more before the real world takes over. This week has been filled of both eventful and slow days. My main highlights are, having a photo-shoot with me being the model (never did I think that this would happen), watching the preseason game of A’s vs. Giants, and seeing the three babies in my life; Noah, Emily and Sara.

Where have I been with my career life? I had another interview, not that I am actively looking for jobs now, but it went great! I’m always so nervous when it comes to interviews, but this one made me feel so great and knowledgeable about the company, what I love to do, and myself.

Other than jobs, and the break from school, I haven’t kept up with my goals and resolutions as shared. I haven’t done any reading, nor writing of my ~guidebook~ all week, but I did think about things I was interested in researching up on.

Now that my week is over, I’m rushing to finish up those assignments that are due this week. Yay procrastination!

I'm a creep.

People watching, one of my favorite activities. There's just so much to see, with the movements, the clothing, and interactions people have with each other. Current sitting inside a Starbucks, enjoying my tea while observing outside the intersection of 4th and Mission.

The city worker is wearing an obnoxiously neon vest, but I'm digging it.
The speed of a local is faster than a tourist.
How can you tell a tourist? Lost and confused with a map.
San Francisco, the city of layers. And long coats with workout wear.
My average count for colors vs. dark chromatic colors, 1:10. As they say, black tends to live in urban cities while color is suburban.
Black jackets, black pants, black boots.
Is that guy wearing popcorn as a necklace? Wait, it's just seashells.
Little girls in baby Uggs are adorable, I said it...adorable.
There is a leash less dog obediently following his owner, I'm impressed.
I hope it doesn't start raining again, I forgot to bring an umbrella again.
The first bright yellow taxi Prius hybrid sighted, sounds like a smart choice.
I would never own a purse dog, maybe a purse cat though.

Enough of being a creep, I'm off to class now. Even though I should of spent this precious half hour studying instead.

WC -> EC


Me and Adrianne in New York City, 2009.


While battling my last few midterms (3 this week!), I’ve finally made the most life changing choice of my life. I’ve moved across the state before, but now I’m moving across the country (for the summer)! East coast, I’m coming for you! This is kind of surreal because its one of my dreams to live on the east coast, and experience the life as a New Yorker versus a tourist. Another inspiration for making the move is one of my best friends Adrianne, moving all the way across the globe to down under Australia FOR A YEAR! (See her blog HERE)

Something fun and new to look forward to, and countdown begins: roughly 10 weeks.

Off to cram some studying!

What am I, an author?




Goals goals goals, I never really make them because I tend to do things that I 'need' to do and not so much things that I 'want' to do. This brilliant idea dawned on me today of this idea of writing a book (or more like a personal guide) with an emphasis on fashion.

Similar to the idea of graduate school, grad students will spend months and months researching on their topic of expertise. Then they write this wonderful dissertation that gets published and they become famous. (Hopefully I can come up with something mind blowing and genius, so teachers will quote/look up to me many years from now.) I'm taking this as an inspiration to research and write myself a guidebook that I can refer back to in the future. And how cool is it to say, "I wrote a book" to someone you just met. Not only does it make me look smart, but also my credentials shoot up.

Once I complete my research and write my guidebook, I'll become a expert in the topic(s) that I choose. Now I’m just piling more and more things on my plate, but that’s what life is (both figuratively and literally). Time to get writing, or studying…it is midterm season after all.


P.S. If anyone was wondering how my new years resolution is going, its going good. Except I'm reading school books rather than leisure books.
