Dim Sum!
Spent yesterday morning in Oakland Chinatown eating dim sum. We walked around for a bit afterwards, and then my mom and I went to Target and Michael’s. I ended up spending two hours in the store and buying over $100 worth of art supplies. Maybe I can motivate myself to actually draw something now?
I’m looking forward to tonight. Christmas was so busy that I honestly...

Baby It's Cold Outside
Break is going by way too fast—it’s already over half-way through. Boooo.
Christmas week was fantastic. Everything went smoothly with shopping and cooking and what-not. The only real hiccups were that my mom already owned the book I had gotten her (she bought it for iPad), and Chad’s iPhone case didn’t come in until two days after...
The Week in Baking
(Pictured from top to bottom: vanilla chai spice cookies, egg nog fudge, Christmas popcorn, gingerbread waffles, candied citrus peels, Oreo truffles)
So. Much. Food.
I went on a cooking/baking frenzy the week before Christmas. Some of the things not included in the pictures above: sweet onion dip, hot crab dip, slow-cooker mac & cheese, cheesy-bacon-ranch pull-apart bread,...
I Want to Make Art
I’m getting antsy because I haven’t drawn anything for a while. I can’t do anything digital, either, since I won’t have Photoshop until I go back to school.

Night Out in the City
Oh, I missed SF! Especially around Christmas time. Call me a sucker for holiday decorations.
Chad, Gloria, Thomas and I walked around trying to find a place to eat for a bit until we stumbled across a cute alleyway with a row of Italian restaurants (I promise it’s less sketch than it sounds). We eventually stopped at one of them, but the food was kinda eh. Nevertheless, it was fun...
Aloha, Hawaii
Just spent a wonderful week in beautiful Kauai! Experienced my first luau, met some of Chad’s family, and went tubing down a river on Mount Waialeale—the rainiest spot in the world. The only downside was when Chad and I had to spend all of Friday night heaving over a toilet bowl due to a stomach virus (we’ve officially seen the best and worst of each other). Other than that,...
It's That Time of Year
It’s good to be home. I spent a full day shopping with my mom for stocking stuffers and what not, and then wrapped gifts/decorated stockings. I also spent the afternoon with Gloria (sitting outside of Sideboard for three hours), who I won’t be seeing much this break, unfortunately.
It’s 12:16am and I still haven’t packed. I’ll be leaving at 6:30 in the...
Sweet Freedom.
Finals are finally done! Thank goodness.
I can’t believe the quarter is already over. Where did the time go? I’m so excited to be going home and reuniting with everyone (oh, and no homework doesn’t hurt either), but at the same time, a part of me is sad to be leaving Isla Vista. I’ve managed to make some pretty awesome friends in the short time that I’ve been here,...
