Shout out to my niece Ruby!

I showed my coworker this picture my cousin posted on my fb wall and he gasped a little and said “THIS BABY IS WHITE! Now I see why your Korean is so bad, even your relatives are white!” haha I wish that were true. I’ll just let him think that… I’m actually bad at Korean because im weetarded!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

My oldest sister sent me a package filled with edible goods. I actually haven’t opened the physical package yet but I saw in the description on the side of the box, “turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy mix and taco seasoning” initially I was thinking, hrmm… this is a really random jumble of food. I wonder what compelled her to send this stuff to me… and then after a full minute of reflection it finally dawned on me that this was my thanksgiving meal!

Ahhh have I lost my soul!?!? How could I forget about thanksgiving?! The thanksgiving care package totally caught me off guard but now feel so warm and fuzzy inside. And FYI the taco sauce is more for my own useable purposes because it’s my “secret ingredient” for everything I make haha. Danks yo!

[Update]
Here is a picture of the contents of the package!

mi amor

i'm so easy to please

Kelly Cutrone

Kelly cutrone from both the hills and the city is so funny

MTV Shows

oh darn, the clip is gone! it was the funniest one too.

Edward

i love edward cullen so much it hurts! whyyyyyyyy do you like bella??!? out of all girls, why her?!?!

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

edward is really every girls fantasy. he's good looking, well mannered, forever young, wealthy, well educated and is a one woman man. he is the epitome of the ideal man (minus the vampire part, though some girls like that stuff) and the ideal man is of course, fictional. go figure.


on a completely different note. im going to china tomorrow which means no blogger.com access.

kpop

kpop of the day

reality

Last night I had another dream about this octopus man that was trying to kill my family. He forged notes and sent them out to my family pretending to be my middle sister, but I realized they were fake because the drawings were ugly and her handwriting didn’t match. I don’t remember much except for this funny image of my mom running really fast from the octopus man as he stood in our kitchen, consuming a lot of space.

Where are all of these dreams coming from? I wish I could just live in my dreams, they seem so much cooler than my actual life.

vampires

I had a dream 2 nights ago that I was going to marry a vampire and the dream helped me put things into bella’s perspective. It was actually really scary at times and my vampire fiancé was not as dreamy as Edward, he was more like the vampire from true blood. I was really sad at one point when I realized the vampires ate Jonny!! Ahh
