H.A.L.T

May 6, 2011 eating out

I’ve been in a really sucky mood lately. Like, serious “full-on bitch gear” sucky mood. I’ve snapped at my parents on the phone for no reason at all. I’ve shoved my way through Asian grannies in the crowded bus. I’ve snarled at little bald babies resting luxuriantly in their shaded strollers, giving me that blank [...]

A Korean lady can eat Mexican food, too.

May 3, 2011 My story

I think this has been one of my favorite semesters in college yet. Actually, it’s been my favorite school semester, period. It’s also been my toughest semester so far, but I loved all my classes, and though I have had to drop out of my art class, I’m thankful for all the wonderful lessons I’ve [...]

This is the first Christmas I’m spending away from my family. I’m feeling very weird right now. There is a bit of melancholy as I feel somewhat detached from all the festivities. The only thing reminding me that it is Christmas is my neighbor’s flamboyant decorations… …and the Christmas songs that play incessantly at the [...]

I Like Misery, Yes I Do

July 28, 2010 God

It’s been almost a month since I’ve been back home to Northern Virginia. And throughout that period, I’ve been up and down in a funk. To be honest, even after I had written that post about being in a funk, it still took me quite awhile to break myself out of opaque, leaden bubble of [...]
