Post Fall 2011 Semester Reflections

[LIFE]

I've been meaning to update this blog for a while, but I've just been too lazy/too much of a perfectionist (concerning the writing, actually... surprisingly, which tends to happen if I care too much about the subject *Cough* Wong Fu *Cough*)

To keep it concise, I suppose I'll just list some of the highlights of my semester!
- YY :D
- Best college semester grades ever (which for many of you may just be the norm... punks)
- Met Wong Fu Productions :D
- Went to my first Acapella concert (The Stereotypes)--very entertaining!
- Started training at a boxing gym, once a week (yep, on my way...)

Making the Yao-Ming Rage Comic face with Wong Fu

Also... my five seconds of fame, hahah, I asked Phil to give us a dance demo (he used to be on UCSD's hip hop team)

[MUSIC]

I just found out about this British artist: Bluey Robinson. Love his stuff--so classy-funky, with a smooth R&B flavor. (I believe he's up-and-coming, can't find any albums, just collabs and singles.)

Bluey Robinson - Show Girl

^so much power and soul in that voice

A couple of videos that I shot the day I finished finals--I was actually running on about 6 hours of sleep over 48 hours... but, it still turned out pretty well imho. Let me know what you think!

[STYLE]

Yes I've changed the header to "style", as opposed to "fashion".. upon discussion with a friend (he knows who he is). To many the two may be synonymous, but to me.. fashion is fleeting (what is considered "fashionable" is ever-changing) but style lasts.

Style has staying power because only you can truly feel what works for you and what best reflects your identity/personality--you aren't dressing based on what a select few others who are supposedly "in the know" tell you look "good".

On that note.. I just purchased a pair of Red Wings Beckman 6'' Round Boots in Black Cherry Featherstone

The reason? I need a pair of nice-fitting and durable (key word, durable) boots that can be dressed up or down depending on occasion. From what I've read, this brand fits the bill. Expensive? Sure. But if it's going to last me 5+ years through harsh rain and snow (some swear over 10 years) then it's worth it, to me.

I've yet to see how that pans out... free returns though, so nbd. Pics when I receive the shipment.

Life Update.

[An Intro!!]

I realize I haven't updated in a long time... although admittedly, neither have a lot of you *points finger accusingly at friends on blogspot whose blogs have stayed stagnant for the past few months*. I figure I might as well post some pictures and fortune cookies I've accumulated throughout the past few months of school (since obviously I can't come up with any focused, quality content right now)

...Feels like a good amount of things have happened.

[Random Pictures]

Buying shoes with the suite-mates

Login info an administrator gave me at my volunteer workplace... password "Sunshine!"--made me laugh. 

Seoul Taco; never heard of this b4... but I was REALLY looking forward to it... 

We got there and it was sold out.. T_T; 

You can tell how close a suite is when you see how close they're willing to come together.. physically :P

 Sign in the bathroom of "Pho Long"; amusing, no?

 Complimentary cup of soup!!

 I love pho more than life itself; wait no, not true... but pretty damn close.

[Life Hacks]

^A new segment about the little things I notice in life that make things just that much better.

I've recently picked up on two pretty random things (that probably sound ridiculously obvious to the rest of you)

1.) Having a netbook in class makes taking notes and being productive so much easier!

2.) Bringing a water bottle around everywhere is convenient, cost-effective, and healthy.

Win.
