snow days
I bitch and moan about the snow, but in reality, it’s one of the things I love most about living in the East Coast. There’s something winter-wonderlandy about looking up at the sky and seeing tiny white flakes slowly drift down onto your gloves. At moments like these, I literally stop in my tracks and smile to myself. And suddenly all my crappy feelings melt away into the snow. The...
me again.
Life has lead me through many a great adventures, but nothing is going to compare to the stuff that’s to come. With my peace corp application completed, my new job starting tomorrow, and grad school on the horizon, I feel like nothing and no one can stop me. It’s time to be me again…
If life is really like a box of chocolates then I hope that I have already eaten all the bitter...

on accessorizing
Lisa: I traded away my pearls. Without them, I'm just a big Maggie!
w-w-whah??
I just found this in my pictures folder.
Say what?!? What the HELL is this doing in my pictures folder? This is the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen. No. Wait…
THIS is the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen. These pictures are labeled MarzipanBaby1 and MarzipanBaby2, respectively. So I’m guessing these scary-ass mini fetuses (feti?) are made from marzipan? The only thing...
ode to fried chicken
I am watching “Best Thing I Ever Ate” on the food network, and they’re featuring “crunchy” deliciousness. And apparently there’s this bowling alley in Brooklyn that has amazing fried chicken. BRB whilst I wipe the drool off my lap top. The only thing I like better than crispy fried chicken, is crispy fried chicken that’s only 4 stops away from my house!...

I Eat Bugs
When I was 7, I got tricked into eating a honey glazed caterpillar from Thailand. My uncle put it in my hand and dictatorially commanded, “eat this.” I squirmed, shook my head, and dropped it on the floor. “It’s not a real caterpillar,” he assured me “just looks like one.. like gummy worms.” So me having been the most gullible person alive, tossed the...
Russia can kiss my ice.
Two North American teams won Gold and Silver in Ice Dancing today (Canada and US, respectively). What makes it even more impressive, Russians have dominated the figure skating world forever.. but it’s someone else’s turn now.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skating for Canada. I’m not ashamed to say that their performance made me choke up a bit. It was so beautiful, elegant, and...
Cakes: The good, the bad, and the ugly.
One of my favorite online pastimes has to be reading the cakewrecks blog (cakewrecks.com). Hating on deserts is something I rarely approve of, but some of these wrecks are just asking for it.
Exhibit A. It’s a baby shower cake. Pretty realistic, huh? That is, if you were giving birth to E.T.
One word: Why?
I never thought I’d see the day that I would find cake unappetizing.

3 in 1
This is my favorite photograph to date. And no, it’s not because there is some little naked boy changing in the back. It’s because there are 3 generations of Kanjanavilai women in one picture. (Tori’s foot included to the left)
I am the tan, little monkey in the middle. And HEY! I still sit like that. I was hyper, fast talking, curious, and no doubt… ANNOYING. I was the...
Do you want fries with that?
I met up with some old classmates from high school and we got to talking about what some of our friends are doing now that we’ve all graduated.
A: So what is S doing nowadays? J: Nothing! He’s just working at a restaurant. A: He went to Columbia and now he’s working at a restaurant? haha..
I’m sorry, but I don’t think working at a restaurant is NOTHING. I think...
"Is Halloween Over Yet?"
I am usually a really strong proponent of not dressing animals up like humans, but on Halloween… all that goes right out the window. Mostly, cause it’s too top of the mt. saint hilar.
I found these on petswhowanttokillthemselves.com. They are cruel, embarrassing, and epically funny.
GO EVAN!
HeShih and I were/are obsessed with men’s figure skating. 10 Hot guys (who cares if they’re all gay), bejeweled costumes, and triple salchows culminates to a dramatic moment when Evan Lysacek beats that smug Squidward of a Russian.
Other favorites include
my darling Patrick Chan from Canada. He did pretty good for a 19 year old, eh? LOVE the costume. Very Phantom of the Opera-y.

minus 1
Do I think about him? Em.. not romantically. I remember the way his butt stuck out when he stood. I think about how great it would be to have him around to change my broken light bulbs. And I think about him when I watch food network, the Office, and Lost; wondering what he thinks about Giada’s meatball recipe, Pam’s pregnancy, and Sayid’s quote unquote infection, respectively.

a gijm you too, mommy
I text my mom this morning saying “I love you, mommy. I might be far away, but I’m always here for you.. no matter what.”
She text me back saying “a gijm.”
I need to teach her how to text.

Celebrity Doppelganger Week Part Deux
People also say I look like her. Ploypailin Jensen, Princess of Thailand. (She looks unusually photogenic here).
Some girl at this noodle place pointed out that I look like her. So I turned to my parents and asked, “Is she pretty?” They replied with a “She plays the piano really well.”
The end.
Why can’t people say I look more like her? Because they’d be...
Celebrity Doppelganger Week
It’s apparently Celebrity Doppelganger week on facebook.
Facebook asked its users the question: Ever been told you look like a celebrity? If yes, then you’re suppose to participate by tracking down an acceptable photo of your celebrity double and posting it as your profile pic.
This is mine:
“Who the fuck is that” you ask? She is Brenda Song, some Disney channel star...
LOST
Blew. My. Mind.
Lost theories to come.
the Ex files
These people felt so permanent at the time. But in the end, they were just passing through, leaving footprints and scars behind them. They’ve gone, changed, and grew into people I wouldn’t recognize anymore. But I’m still here, waiting for something to move me.
Through these brief lines, the relationships that once shined and dazzled can live and breath once again.
Meet the...
