feeling lonesome.
My discovery these past few weeks - there will be no shortage of great guys who are interested in me. But…where’s the one that I’ll be interested in back? I’m nowhere near ready for a relationship, but the question kind of keeps pushing itself. Feeling bittersweet because I know I did the right thing, but can’t help wondering if I’ll find something better.

the kitchenaid has arrived
My Christmas present from Stephen came in today - a little early but I’m not big on xmas traditions anyway. As such, I was inspired to spend hours browsing recipes to try instead of studying for my interview tomorrow. Several recipes later, I’ve decided that I need even more supplies before I can embark on holiday season baking:

food items & pairings i will never understand
- chocolate with chiles, orange/orange peels, bacon, most savory flavors; just not good
- cold melon soup; why not just eat the melon if you want something refreshing?
- bacon obsession; i never thought bacon was that special
- rose, lavender, and other floral flavors that make food taste like soap
- yorkshire pudding; bland bland bland
- cooked carrots (unless in cake); hello, yucky mush

recipes conquered this week
(no pics because i was in a rush most of the time)
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
- Made these as a thank you gift for Vishal for letting us crash at his place for the CAL game.
- Ack, can’t find the recipe that I used. All I remember is that it included both white and brown sugar :/. Substituted chopped up Lindt White Chocolate Coconut bars for white chocolate chips.
- These were...

"...and a chocolate milk for the lady."
Being in San Jose sucks, really bad. I can’t stand being here/at home. Pretty much all of my friends have stuck around their respective schools instead of coming back home and I have nothing to do/no one to hang out with. That being said, tonight I had a really nice/unexpected time hanging out with one of my favorite people - Joey. I haven’t seen or really talked to him in months (the...
how can this be?!?!
I’ve given Pickle flea meds for all the 9 months that I’ve had her, yet I discovered 3 fleas on her today. She is now quarantined and I can look forward to vacuuming and de-fleaing for the next 2 weeks or so. WHY! :(
but...i need pastry flour :(
After having Jacques Torres’ famous chocolate cookies in Brooklyn, I’ve been itching to try out the recipe. Armed with a huge craving for layers of chewy cookie and melty chocolate, I searched up the recipe. A few clicks and a pantry check later, I discovered that I needed pastry flour and good quality chocolate. I also found that pastry flour can be found at specialty grocery stores...

Twitter
So I’ve had my Twitter account for over a year now and I must say that I like it! My relationship with Twitter has come a really long way since I oh-so-grudgingly signed up for my account. I thought, “WTH, who’s great idea was THIS? Nobody is going to be interested.” But, slowly and surely more and more people I knew started joining/following/RTing/@ing and it became a way...

imagical wins 3rd place at nationals!
Yay, I’m really happy with this considering that we were competing with teams that consistently go to and win Nationals. Not only that but we’re in the miniority in that our team is entirely student run - versus other teams that compete as part of advertising courses at their schools. Also, it was the first time that any of us had developed a PSA campaign! We didn’t perform as...

Things That I Hate
- Air freshener sprays - Coming up with all the good reasons after the fact - My DS professor’s accent - The taste of water after it’s been sitting out - Heavy pens - That I can’t go without 8 hours of sleep
i'm a simple girl...really!
i just want to be done with finals/graduate so i can:
- go shopping: need clothes for upcoming trips, summer, etc - go to the movies: been hearing so much about star trek and can’t wait for transformers, of course - bake A LOT: i’ve been poking around baking blogs and have a store of recipes i NEED to try - go to the gym: my face is fat :( - learn how to groom pickle myself: her...
been bugging me
this is random but i know someone who is a crazy right-wing conservative who i swear is gay. not that i want to stereotype anyone, but this person is SO GAY and WILL NOT recognize it. he needs to stop denying himself and will be much happier doing so. too bad he’ll 1) have a complete mental/moral breakdown or 2) kill himself when he realizes it.

…went to dinner and sat near an obnoxiously loud table of 3 guys. One was much older, one was douchy and overbearing in the conversation, and the last one seemed like the loud one’s parrot. At first, it sounded like the two younger guys were trying to make a business deal with the older one. The more talkative one was trying really hard to pitch his business idea for a while. Then, the...

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
The story itself is deceptively simple but alludes to so much more. I had to read this book in high school and prepare for discussions about it in class. My interpretation of the various symbols in the book turned out to be wildly different from my teacher’s. I remember that she was unwilling, or maybe unable, to accept my views no matter how I argued them....
