I love almond milk

good bye dairy!

At the Thai family restaurant

During the time of my interviews and stay at my cousin's place months and months ago, I distinctly remember there was a couple in their fifties about two tables down from us who looked so disinterested in each other!  They looked in opposite directions and ate quietly.  

a seemingly loveless matrimony

Perhaps they knew each other so well there was no need for words...
Marriage seems so complicated.

Winters in Korea

I was never fond of cold weathers (with the exception of wearing coats)

Despite the weather, we'd always have to run errands by walking--through rain, the frigid cold, unbearable humidity, season of Mongolian yellow dust.

It was always a mini adventure :)

Basketball Friend

I must say I was pretty lucky to have a friend play for college basketball and give me and a friend free annual tickets to see him play against UPenn in the winter!

But from Bryn Mawr to UPenn was a train ride away.  And from my dorm to Bryn Mawr's train station was a pretty good walk away.  

For the first game, my freshman year, I was late.  So as soon as I got out of the shower and dressed, I ran for the train station.  After five minutes of non-stop running, I made it to the Septa.

It took me a while to realize that the front portion of my hair was literally FROZEN in the shape of my running motion due to my wet hair and east coast winter weather.  They were icicles of an undulating figure: sticking out from the top and sides.  I had to melt them by cupping sections of my hair with my  hands...

i think even my eyebrows were slightly frozen
i'm such a good friend

Finals Week

Remember how people were talking about that imminent earthquake in California?

Sometimes, I wish it would happen.  Then I wouldn't have to take finals.

During my optics exam, I thought I felt the ground and my desk shaking.  I was so excited--I could feel my eyes getting wide and my ears strangely migrate upward.  'What great timing!'
But it stopped and it happened to be my neighbor erasing furiously.
Boo...

You ought to know...

that 생크림 케이크 Fresh Cream Cake is my favorite type of cake:
