Home Decor Phase

I'm currently going through a home decor phase right now because I'll soon be moving to an apartment right outside of school. This will officially be the end of dorm life. Yes! But now I'm worrying about what I need at my place while I'm back in Bay Area. First day coming back home, I'm already looking at my desk, chairs, mattress, dressers, and other cute things I can afford after all these to decorate my place.

Trip to visit Melissa

So the last three days, Casey, Casey's dad, and I went up to Eureka, California to visit our friend Melissa who goes to Humboldt State University. It was a really long five hour drive up north from the part of the Bay Area where I'm from. First few hours was doable. Until the third hour, I started dowsing off in the back seat.Then we drove

My busy saturday

Just as I planned to stay at home all day after traveling back from school, my family planned to go to Palo Alto to check out the Blue Bottle that just recently opened. These are some of the pictures that I found on yelp. (People are really good at taking pictures... )

Finally home

Just relaxing now.

Oh and yeah. I wasn't drinking coffee. It's tea. 

I can't stand black coffee...  :x

P.S.: movie in the background is About Time. I just love their family relationship even though the story is so cheesy.

P.S.S: Thanks Carry for the mug. Love it!

Studying for my Psy3 final tomorrow and realized...

I drew a really accurate diagram...

Spring look

Spring is coming! YAY! I'm so excited. From the post I wrote a few days ago, I explained how I haven't shop in a while. I've basically come up with list of things I'm planning to buy. I'm planning for my basic spring outfit to be 1.) cardigan + cami dress and 2.) basic tees + shorts. These are the basic look that I'm trying to achieve.

Kaptain's Firehouse BBQ

I don't know why not a lot of my friends know about this place in Isla Vista, but I'd say I really want to promote this place. Kaptain's Firehouse BBQ has the most amazing mac and cheese I've ever tasted. I especially love their pulled mac, which is pulled pork mac and cheese. The portions that they give you are so filling. There are other amazing ones, like their tri-tip sandwiches. If you live near Goleta, I'd say definitely check this place out! 

Miranda Kerr diet, would you want to try?

I don't remember where I read this, but apparently Miranda Kerr eats only steam vegetables, fresh fruits, and fish and does daily yoga and jogging to maintain her body. Do you believe in this diet? and would you want to trying it out? I know that fish is the healthiest meat out of all, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to give up that other meat, junk food, and boba milk tea to lose weight using such a healthy diet.

Fruit salad options

So this Friday, I'm going to this potluck event with my frat brothers, and I just thought that I can bring some fruit salads. These are some of the options that I searched up. Feel free to leave out some ingredients that you don't like because I might do some mix and match too. 

Study snacks

If you're a Facebook friend of mine, you've probably seen my one and only post since new year about running out of study snacks. Yes, I love snacking while studying.

This is my Friday night...

Oh god.. please save me...

Tips to become a happy couple

Over the weekend, my best friend from high school Casey told me that she has finally confirmed her relationship. I'm so happy for her because she has told me and our other best friend Melissa about all the things that they've been through for almost half a year. She said that her and the guy she likes (now the boyfriend) did not know whether they should be together because they don't want to ruin the friendship and lots of other reasons. Then I just feel like they worried too much instead of focusing on their feelings. I mean, it's good to be aware of these things and be realistic, but if you just keep worrying and not do anything about it, you might be losing the love of your life. Who knows?!

Conversations you talk about with friends

I love talking to my friends simply because I love those heart to heart conversations. Not only do you get to know what kind of events your friends have experienced, you can also get to know that person's attitude and philosophies. 

Valentine's day last minute planning

Last minute valentine's day card

If you haven't started on a valentine's day card, but you're still thinking of doing one, here's a post about making your own simple but pretty card. All the messages are so cute! All you have to do is just pick a pretty paper and nice message you want to write, then write it neatly and maybe add some hearts, and you're done! Messages are simple, yet they show how you really feel.

Going out for dinner on Valentine's Day?

Doesn't matter if you're single or in a relationship. If you're thinking about going to a fancy restaurant to for a Valentine's Day dinner with either your significant other or your group of friends, you should read this post and reconsider your dinner plan for tomorrow.

How do you deal with stress?

Well yes. That's my question. How do you deal with stress? Personally, I don't know how to deal with stress, especially when there is more than two exam per week that I have to study. I start to worry too much about having two exams that I need to study, and I would panic and study less efficiently. Then I start to have angry management issues because I would feel upset that my life is a mess; next thing you know, I won't even smile and just have a really threatening, angry-looking face on all the time until I don't feel stress anymore.

My plan for eating healthy is going quite well...?

The most common way to eat healthy is to eat more vegetables and fruits.

Well. that's what I've been doing for the past three weeks because I seriously want to set a good diet just to be healthy. But things aren't working for me because as I eat more salad during my lunch and dinner, I just feel like it's not tasty. It's like my mind is telling me to eat it, but my stomach is telling me to spit it out.

I love cute babies

The entire day, I was just doing laundry and relaxing. So I decided that while I wait for my laundries to finish, I'm gonna watch The Return of Superman. For those of you who don't know, The Return of Superman is a Korean TV reality show about celebrity dads taking care of their kids while the moms go out and relax for 48 hours. Meaning, the kids won't see their mom for 3 days and 2 nights. 

Rainy day

It's kind of odd that it is raining in Santa Barbara.. We usually don't get a lot of rain throughout year, but this winter happens to rain a lot. Well! I guess it's an excuse for me to stay indoor and get cozy. I do feel like grabbing a cup of coffee or warm tea, but my left foot started hurting last night (for no reason?), so now I walk as if I twisted just twisted my ankle...

Like I said yesterday, my plan for today is to study a bit (actually, maybe more than a bit) for the upcoming midterms. BUT! I do feel like watching some kind of movie tonight. I'm guessing it's the rain that makes me want to stay indoor and relax a bit. What are some movies that you like to watch on a cozy day?

Midterms never end

It's winter quarter, and everything is so hectic right now. Last week, I had one midterm. This week, I had two. Then next week, I'll have two midterms (one on Tuesday and another on Friday). Midterms are killing me. There's no time for break, and I just have to keep studying and hoping that I'll get the grade I wanted. 

Now that it's Friday! Today is the day where I'll have time to rest a bit and enjoy my time, just watching YouTube videos, watch TV, or hanging out with friends. Then, I'll have to use my entire weekend to study the Tuesday Midterm. Again. fun.........

What are you guys's weekend plan? Are you guys doing something fun?
