A joyous Christmas season
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn king! Peace on Earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone :) I hope you’re having a peaceful and happy time with the ones you love. I’ve been enjoying my time here with San Jose peeps very much (and demolishing all the hot spiced cider in sight). I’m home from...
Smiling
I’m starting to feel it… that restless angst from family tension and excessive smothering while I’m home for break. I love my family and I love being home, but sometimes communication is difficult if, you know, people don’t listen. I’m so thankful that I have Sissy and that gym where I can run off all my not-so-teenage angst-angst-angst.
This angsty day in...
Productive Sundays
Welcome back to the Lunch with Ma series.
Ma: “So do you like any of the boys in your class?”
Me: “NO. I HATE EVERYONE. ALL BOYS DO IS GET IN THE WAY, MOM. THEY GET IN THE WAY OF ALL MY GOALS AND DREAMS.”
Ma: “You can’t be too picky.”
Me: Ooooouuuucccchhhhhhhhh. Love you too, Mom.
And she’s still rooting for the one tall Asian guy in my class...
Pictures that make me smile
I’m going to tackle 2 LGBTQ questions today. It was interesting… When I saw #22, I immediately thought of Ellen and Portia’s wedding picture. Then when I saw #23, I thought, “I should Google some NOM pictures” (note to self: must type out entire phrase of National Organization for Marriage, unless I want a bunch of pictures of unbearably cute animals nomming on...
Surprise visits
Back to the LGBTQIA Challenge!
Question 21: Political LGBT issue that is closest to you or affects you most.
I would have to say Prop 8/marriage equality, being a Californian who would someday like to get married. It’s really unfair how someone’s personal life can be dictated by complete strangers who normally don’t really understand the situation. I talked w/a bishop about...
Hamburg, Deutschland
This post took me a while to start because I got SO nostalgic about this city. This was where I last saw my dear friend Chuaaa [Brack]: the first friend I ever made in college. We met at freshman orientation. We were put in the same group for some lame orientation activity, and she asked if she could put her stuff in my bag. I obliged, and a few weeks later we were singing along to Rent at the top...
Feeling fat & sassy during the holidays
If you happen to see a bit of glitter on my clothes.. or on my face.. it’s because I’ve been writing a mountain of Christmas cards and it JUST WON’T STAY ON THE CARDS.

Berlin, Deutschland!
I may be binge blogging… but Flickr finally started working again and I just finished editing Berlin photos! I absolutely loved my time there and I hope you enjoy the photos!

Finishing my first semester of PT school STRONG!
Hi, friends. Haven’t seen you in a while.
Good news:
I finished finals for PT school, and assuming that a mad bull doesn’t break into the department office and jumble up my grades, I managed to pull off at least a 90% in six of my classes, and passed w/a B in the last one (of which no one was a fan). I’ve never been pushed so hard in school in my life, but I’ve also never...
