Things Falls Apart
What in the world …
In just one day, I found out that two people (whom I don’t know personally but have kept track of through their public blogs) recently broke up with their respective girlfriend/boyfriend. Both announcements were shocking and sudden and left me wondering what it is that went wrong. Well, for one of them, there was an on-going lie that is, in my opinion,...

New Netflix Account + Outfits
Got a netflix account yesterday. I may or may not become a movie watching fiend in the near future. This decision may or may not be detrimental to my GPA. A cousin of mine (let’s call him Lotion) warned me, but of course I was like “As if I would fall prey to a movie watching addiction!”
On another note, I’m currently fiending on fashion blogs. I think my parents noticed...

I'm starting to get the hang of it... →
The above link is to “lookatthisfuckingperson.” I’ve started following it recently and it ALWAYS (okay, not always) catches me off-guard and I end up reading what “this fucking person” is doing in the picture before I get to guess for myself. I’ve been more vigilant for the tumblr’s avatar on my dashboard and I think I’ve gotten a total of … 3?...

November 2009 Italian Marie Claire
Taken by David Bellemere for Italian Marie Claire in November 2009.
My latest obsession is fashion blogs, particularly Hanneli Mustaparta’s (http://www.hanneli.com/), where I found this gem of a photo. There is not one thing I don’t like about this photo. The bright white light softened by the sheer, lace curtains … the model’s pose, from the way her arms seem to be...
Day 30 - Who are you?
… Isn’t that what this whole blog is trying to document? Please. As if I could even try to answer that in one post, coherently, in text … How unreasonable of a question!
I know the above response is slapdash and that I’m not putting nearly as much effort as I should be, but I’m very wary of questions that ask for answers no one can give in one sitting, in one breath,...

Day 29 - In this past month, what have you learned
This past month, I’ve learned that …
… my dream house is like a museum, a collection of mementos and (a few of) my favorite things.
… I’m a really visual person while listening to music. If I’ve watched the music video, then I’ll see blips of that. Otherwise, I see images a lot like an itunes visualizer.
… I’m still very naive and very much...

Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge
I want this blog to be a sort of self-portrait, a time capsule of me so that years from now, I can go here to look back and remember. I want to remember what I thought at the moment about the things/events happening around me. I want to hear how I speak and to see how my language has changed, if at all. I want my future self to have the opportunity to get a real glimpse of who she was back …...

Day 26 - What you think about your friends
I could go on forever! Let me take the liberty to complete this challenge indirectly by stating one thing I’ll remember each friend forever for. Of course all friends listed will be code-named. :)
Llama - mumus and bururus
Spider - “DEAD! No? Oh, okay. DEAD! Clearly, you are dead.” Serioiusly, what is up with cartoons and their indestructible characters?
Echo - Baby, baby,...

Day 25- What I would find in your bag
- pen(s) + something write on … I really dislike it when I have/want to write something down but can’t.
- sunscreen for the face … Wrinkles creep up on you, I hear.
- handheld fan … So I can look all that more Asian, snapping that fan open and shut like no one’s business.
- small bag of pads/pantyliners … If I don’t need it, it’s there in case...

Day 24- A letter to your parents
To my wonderful 아빠 and 엄마,
Every day I am amazed at what you have made possible for me. Aunts, uncles, family friends, older cousins, and other kin will tell me how much you have gone through to get this family where it is today. Thousands of families have made the move from Korea to the states, but that fact doesn’t make the feat any less impressive.
Dad, you went from living in your...

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone...
I’m a unique combination of genes and environmental input! Evo-devo, bitchesss!
That was a total Biology nerd freak-out there, and I’m not sorry for it. As a biology major that somewhat intends to become a researcher later on in life, this kind of nerdy behavior is nothing out of the norm. :)
At first, I was thinking of writing this whole spiel about how I’m different from...

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being...
At the moment, there isn’t one specific person I see myself marrying in the future, but even until just last year, there was someone I thought I could spend the rest of my/his life with. Let’s call him Koi.
Before anything, he was one of my closest friends. I could tell him everything and he’d be interested and willing to listen. There often wasn’t this sense that I was...

Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them
Hrm, the queue didn’t work so I missed posting yesterday’s challenge.
Dree … Is Audrey too hard or tiring to say? It’s just two syllables. :( Maybe they were trying to make my name sound chic or more familiar? This nickname never sticks for too long.
HWALKFAJEOINF (some unintelligible sound that is supposed to be an imitation of my hiccups) … Of course this one is...

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have
Not necessarily in chronological order…
- Get married
- Have one to two children
- Get a house, with a walk-in closet for me preferably.
- Dedicate an entire room for a library where I will store all the books I collect over the years, so my children can read awesome books.
- If I do end up becoming a researcher in biology, make a ground-breaking discovery that will have global impact.

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives...
This kind of challenge/question irks me a bit because it asks me to wish for something that I can never feasible have. In this case, the questions is asking me to wish for the chance to be someone else for a day. I would rather spend my life learning to appreciate what/who I am and working to get what I can feasibly get, than wishing to be someone else and dreaming of what I want. I’d rather...

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you...
Your name came up in a conversation a few days ago. Wow, did that ruin my night. Suddenly, I couldn’t even enjoy the company of my friends and I had to fight to put on a smile whenever one of them looked my way.
For a bunch of reasons, I can’t tell you what I’ve been through recently and how much your words hurt me … but you’re sick and tired me of listening to me anyway. Until not too long ago, I...
