MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas wasn't much of an excitement for me since I was stuck inside the house doing nothing. But hopefully.. hopefully next year's will be better.

friday morning

UNLV campus

I took this picture right after I started to notice the gradual changes from the bright green leaves of the trees to a a more subtle yellow/orange color. After my Friday class finished, I walked around the campus with my friend wondering in amazement on how fast autumn is approaching.

making kimchi

my aunt, grandmother, and mother washing the lettuces

Every winter, my family makes huge batches of kimchi to eat  for the rest of the year, and until next winter. We usually make enough to last us a whole year. Although I didn't help out with my mother,aunt, and grandmother in washing,preparing, and seasoning the kimchi, I did help them with small tasks like moving the huge crates of radishes and lettuces and picking up little scraps of unneeded lettuces. The process of making kimchi is very long and arduous which leads to many people just buying industrial made kimchi. Although there's nothing wrong with buying kimchi from stores, it's always nice to have a home made kimchi seasoned to your taste. Fortunately, the day was warm and pretty hot for it to be called winter. My family is very loud and very... tough. :) Even though there were a few strangers and neighbors glancing at us and even just standing in front of us to watch us clean the lettuces, we continued our tasks in washing the kimchi without caring about the bystanders.

Still a lot to wash/cut/prepare.

chili's

chatting with my friend

This picture was taken on November 23rd. After a long day of studying, my friend decided to venture on into the night and get something to eat. Bored with spending the whole day doing absolutely nothing, I agreed to her sudden request and accompanied her to chili's. It's always nice to end the night with having a deep conversation with your best friend.

college and finals

I'm VERY sorry for the lack of update. Right after Thanksgiving I was so very sure of being able to blog, but then Black Friday came and then came the weekends and then came laziness. Finals are coming up next week and after that I'm sure I'll be able to update since I'll be on a month long winter break. :)

*edited*
FINALLY! finals are over and here I am relaxing on my computer chair doing literally nothing. It's time I get off my lazy ass and start blogging. I have tons of photos to upload and a lot to write about. My only regret is not putting any fashion posts up. Lately I've been feeling very fat and ugly, so I haven't really had the courage to post a picture of myself. ^^
