Hope everyone had a great holiday season! Here are some pictures I took about a month ago when I went hiking with my family. It seems to have become our family tradition to go out and hike whenever we celebrate holidays. :) Mel ...
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." -Robert Frost There are only 4 more days until my fate for the rest of my life is decided... Just kidding! Although, honestly, sometimes this entire college app process feels that way. In 4 more days, I will be hearing back from the college I applied Early Action...
Two months ago on the way to Knott's, we made a stop at Healthy Junk to grab some vegan and gluten-free comfort food. OUR ORDER: 3 Classic burgers Skinny Fries Crispy Chick Wings Mango Tango Salad While munching on the burger, I realized how familiar the taste was; it tasted almost identical to the In-n-Out burgers my mom and I used to eat...
Before my last post, I hadn't updated my blog for a good 2 months (not at all surprising considering my track record at this point). Since then, so many exciting things (hence the title) have happened/are happening. 1) Perhaps the most exciting... My sister got married to her true love! lovely photo taken by the photographer I'm so excited for my sister and...
Here's something I wrote about a month ago after I finished watching the movie version of Before I Fall. I had so many thoughts swirling around me head I needed to transfer through my fingertips onto a blank Google Doc. . . . When is time ever on your side? I can probably count the times time has been on my side. Time...
(My sister asked if these photos would make it on the blog, and indeed, they did!) I've missed blogging so much—I was looking back on my old posts from when I visited China, and I was just reminded once again of how much I enjoy blogging. Unfortunately, I haven't had much to blog about, and as a result, the steady stream of content...
One of my absolute favorite cuisines is Thai food. Of course, I'm not claiming at all that my palette is any bit refined: I'm that generic girl who orders a Pad Thai every single time at every single restaurant. That being said, I've recently tried two different types of Pad Thai... (wow I know) The first was at My Vegan, a vegan Thai...
For months I had heard of this heaven for vegans called Veggie Grill. So many people had told me of its glory. And I finally got to savor its splendor... about a half a year ago. Since my first Santa Fe Crispy Chicken Sandwich, I've been to Veggie Grill twice more: once for my friend's birthday and once when I was touring colleges...
I'm not sure how to start off this blog post. For a while, I felt the drive to post every day on this blog, and you saw how that turned out. It's been many months since I've posted on this blog, and I can't promise this will be my last hiatus. But for now, I am back, and I've missed blogging a lot....
Hello everyone! I started this cleaning project during December and haven't quite gotten around to finishing it. However, I wanted to post what I did manage to accomplish so far. This was my room before... I decided to try out the Konmari cleaning method. I made some mistakes along the way, but I followed the general guidelines. Here's how it went... The Konmari method requires...
I noticed that all of my recent blog posts are picture-less and boring, so I wanted to spruce things up. Here's a random, unrelated picture of a flower I took weeks ago. I also added some photos to my other posts. :) Ciao~ Today was a pretty chill day—I lazed around most of the day, which I regret now. A quick summary of...
Hello everyone, I hope you've all had a great day today. I'm about to go to sleep but wanted to give my thoughts on Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins. Before I begin this review you should know a) I didn't finish the book (as the title of this post suggests) and b) I do love Stephanie Perkins' writing—Anna and...
Hi everyone, These past few days I've been feeling as though my content on this blog has not been at par with what I wanted when I first decided to daily blog. I was pretty satisfied with my first two blog posts that I put up this month, but this week has been very gray. By gray I mean dull, monotonous, and even...
Hey everyone, Right now I'm going through a rather dark time in my life, so I've decided to add another daily practice into my life—mindfulness. I've been very stressed out the past few hours and really needed to recharge myself. So, naturally, I searched up what I should do on Google. This website was very helpful for me to learn more about mindfulness, and...
I'm writing this blog post on January 30th, but it will be posted tomorrow. Before I published my previous blog post, I hadn't known that today, I lost someone in my family. I haven't been able to spend as much time as I'd like to with this person, but I mourn the lost of this person, and it's jarring seeing the pain and...
Hello everyone, I'm back! As I mentioned in a previous blog post, today I will be reviewing Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. This review will contain spoilers, but I'll begin with a basic review of the book. In short, I absolutely loved this book! I finished within a few days—Cath is such a relatable character. Even though I would say I'm extremely different from...
Hello everyone! A summary of my day: a. Started off the morning pretty early; I went to the animals shelter and hung out with the cats. b. Went grocery shopping with my dad and bought a bunch of overpriced vegan food... I might do a haul in the future. :) c. Came back home, took a shower, and then set off for lunch....
Surprise, it's me! (Actually, this is a scheduled post but it still counts right?) I haven't been doing much of anything these days which leaves me time to get back into one my favorite pastimes: reading. I used to be quite the avid reader and then school started getting busier and I started to get addicted to YouTube instead. But this month has...
Hello everyone! It has been over a month since I've last blogged—is it just me or has this sentence been my go to introduction to every one of my posts these days? I'm finally back, and it's 2017! I hope you all had a great holiday season and have been having a fantastic new year. To be honest, my new year so far...
