solstice

mood: calm and content
now playing: Florence + The Machine - Never Let Me Go

Happy winter break everyone! I hope you're all doing fine, healthy, and happy. Today was quite a good day since I haven't really gone anywhere this winter break but AMC on Tuesday to watch Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows. Today I went shopping and J. Crew made my winter dreams come true because there was a huge sale so I came home with a red Honeycomb Cable Sweater, and the Elsie skirt in nightfall. Excitingly enough, I also made my first Chanel purchase today- Le Rouge Brillant Fondant Hydratant in #62 Monte-Carlo. And I ended the evening with dinner at Cham Sut Gol with le beau.

Now it's back to studying calculus and biology, taking a break and watching oldie cartoons. Three more days until Christmas!
Goodbye fall. Happy winter! It's the winter solstice today.

I have a confession to make. I want to spend a year or a quarter back at home or at another school, or not going to school. I just feel so bored when I have to stay in one place for so long. I wish it was prettier and more interesting. I don’t know.

Spent the day at Disneyland with B, & reunited with marching band. ♥
I wish we went tomorrow or after tomorrow because they would have Disney Holidays, but it is okay. Most of the rides had Christmas themed decorations already, hence Haunted Mansion and Small World.

halloween weekend

now playing: Christmas songs
watching: Something Borrowed
mood: jealous of the east coast and their snow

I'm really wanting some of the winter collection things from UNIQLO.
Today my boyfriend took me to the Irvine Regional Park & we went to the pumpkin patch then longboarded/skateboarded after. I love my boyfriend. ☺

Me & my weekly/Halloween issue of The New Yorker.

So what is everyone up to for halloween? Anyone dressing up? Parties? Events?

Yoga is so powerful.

People who are depressed tend to live in the past too much, and people who are anxious live in the future. In yoga, we want to be here, present and in the moment. We never want to look down or up, just ahead.

I've been late to every class today. Oh well. The day wasn't horrible. I just thought it was weird.
I had pain au chocolat for breakfast today. Then at 5pm, after my advising class, I went to yoga class. Oh my! three days of not doing yoga certainly caught up with me. Everything was just painful and I had lost my endurance. I also feel like I'm not ever going to be able to do the arm balance poses (crane pose, scale pose, or the side crane pose) or the bridge.
Anyways. I had too much to eat tonight, and despite the fact that it was meatless Monday, the BBQ beef brisket was so delicious! I guess my punishment was a massive stomachache. Thus accounted for my 30 min walk in the fog at night.
It's getting late now. I should go sleep.

rawr rawr rawr. I miss Blake.
Goodnight everyone! ♥

I'm back home for the weekend as usual to be with my boyfriend. He brings me comfort, security, and tranquility.

Today/yesterday (october 21) marks the one year anniversary of going to NYC for the first time. The city that enchanted me. The city that I fell in love with. My first love. I will be there for you one day, and I will stay.

Everyday either in the middle of the day or after my classes, I go to the university student recreational center to take yoga. It's been amazing and healing. So far my spine has gotten much straighter, and I've been detoxing. It's almost impossible to say that I'm not addicted. ♥ I hope that one day when I have the time to, I will go and visit the Glen Ivy Spa in Corona to practice meditation and further detox.

My sandals broke, so I think I'll go shopping tomorrow after lunch with Blake. OH- I need yoga blocks and straps.

Knotts Scary Farm 2011

Yesterday class was canceled so I went/got home at 3 !

At around 530ish Blake and I went to Curry House and had our chicken katsu curry :3 And then we headed off to Knott’s Scary Farm. We did all 13 mazes, walked through all scare zones, saw the comedy/show “Haunt Wonders of Technology” (« be advised. really inappropriate and boring) , rode Pony Express, Calico Mine Express, and Sleepy Hollow Mountains Timber Log Ride, and shared a strawberry funnel cake ! :]

Pretty bomb night. I knocked out on the ride back home hahhaha But now back to reality and rushing to complete my endless flow of homework. I hope everyone is doing well, and has start studying for midterms! Eat and stay healthy!
