The show had a name change and is now called Anderson Live! Last Thursday I drove down to Manhattan to attend a taping of Anderson Coopers' live show! It was so much fun :) I attended the show with one of my good friends Alisa. If you've been reading my musings for a while, you've actually met her before here. The smiley face is covering someones big head :) The … [Read more...]
Connecticut shooting, Gun laws, RIP dear children :(
I have no words for whats going on in Connecticut right now. But I can't say that I am surprised. Affluent neighborhood + guns that are easily accessible + emotionally unstable 20-something white male = ... America we are privileged to have so many freedoms in such a great nation but with those freedoms comes responsibility. Time to start enacting stricter gun laws. … [Read more...]
December, Surgery and Jamaica
Wow it's December 9th already! I've been really trying to keep this blog updated. But I can't believe today is my first post of December.

New York City, Hurricane Sandy, and Elephant earrings…random
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!

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...]
