A week or two before hurricane Sando ( I'm changing the name because it seems as though the most destructive storms of the last few years turn out to be named after women) I headed down to NYC with my sister to have lunch with a dear friend on her birthday! We met up in Manhattan at El Centro which specializes in Mexican cuisine. It was really good and I was happy to taste … [Read more...]
New England Snow!
The first snowfall is here! Yay! Granted it is a nor'easter but for some reason I was happy to see snow :) I am worried thought about those that were displaced because of hurricane Sandy :( I pray this snow isn't as wicked! Oh yes and congrats to President Obama for winning re-election! … [Read more...]

Traveling the world missing home Creating new experiences, replacing the old and the trivial Enveloped in the political climate of unfamiliar pundits and jargon Feet high in the sky now safely landed … [Read more...]
Hiking in Connecticut!
I went hiking yesterday afternoon with my mom and sister. Its been really great spending time with everyone since I returned home. Hiking together has become our new addiction. I guess I can thank Korea for that! The views right now as the leaves continue to change ...one word ---> magnificent. I can stand here in the mountains and gaze out all day :) There is … [Read more...]
Paleo Diet
I love to follow 2 types of people on instagram: 1). Foodies and 2). Fitness freaks :) And I've noticed that a ton of the fitness buffs I follow are raving about their Paleo lifestyles. After doing some research on this "diet" or lifestyle change I realized that its also referred to the "caveman diet". You can do research on the diet by just googling it. Right now a lady by … [Read more...]
Gyllenhaal Fever!
I have a slight obsession with Jake Gyllenhaal. I'm actually not sure when it started but I adore him, his acting ability and his eyes *swoons*. On Sunday night I ventured out to the movies with my sister and her friends. We decided to see Resident Evil in 3D. Now I haven't been to the movies in America in years. I think the last movie I saw was...actually I don't even … [Read more...]
Fatty cakes
Since I have been back in the U.S. for the past few days my mouth has been on an eating RAMPAGE! I can't stop eating EVERYTHING !!! Especially cheese, which was grossly expensive in South Korea. To top it off my workout regimen went off track when I headed to Thailand for 2 weeks. Ever since then I have been a lazy bum. My big sister has been teasing me about my … [Read more...]
To speak or not to speak ?
Lately I have been pondering about my short stint in Viet Nam (I know I was just there like last week lol). I keep trying to figure out what I could have done to make my time there more enjoyable (yes I know I still need to write about what happened there...soon I promise). They only aspect of my trip that could have changed the experience was my language acquisition. Granted … [Read more...]
Travel Break…sorta :)
My life at the moment!
My life at the moment: "Its green, fresh, fragrant, unassuming, bold and sprouting roots!" On a side note, I realize as I get older I have no patience when dealing with imbeciles. Like seriously people pretending to be adults and have no regard or respect for the community at large will never get my respect. Ok...I'm done ranting. I will just remember all the colorful … [Read more...]
