Just another winter in Southern California

Crazy Cloudz

I was going nuts over these clouds last week. I've never seen anything like it!

Happy birthday King Cristobal

Since I've been back it's been nothing but family and I have been 100% satisfied. I've redone my old room from a high school girls' to a chic new bedroom, I've completed several TV on DVD's, and I've put in quite a few hours at home doing NOTHING! :) A much needed relaxation time before a hectic semester.

Finally, though, I had lunch with girls I haven't seen in a verrry long time. It's nice that some relationships stay, no matter how far away I've been (both physically and emotionally/mentally/socially). Tonight, a bunch of dudes went out for Chris' birthday. First, a secret local brewery with the most delicious of beers, then BJ's for grub.






PIZOOKIE.


Not joking, 2 minutes later..

Follow the leader

After driving the BMW around the first week home, I ran some errands in the 4Runner and have decided how much I prefer a big(ger) car. It's just so much more comfortable. My mom said she feels the same. "I feel stuck to the ground."

First meal home

More and more, all I crave is Korean food. Good Korean food.

Fancy hostel

Natalie and I have been joking about dropping everything (mostly meaning our excessive amounts of school and lives outside of California) and moving back home, maybe taking off to Europe for a bit or something. Why did I leave home in the first place? When this is the view from my bedroom window:



I could totally give up my "life" and live at home and work for my parents and enjoy such a nice, simple life.

Then I started thinking about hostels which led to "Are there hostels in Orange County?" Because how amazing would it be to have "fancy" hostels where you live with this kind of view.

It's good to be home

Yogurt and The Office to end my night :)

This is what happens when you're Korean

When I'm home, food is not just food. It is not just a meal. It's always an experience, an enjoyment. In Baltimore, I feel like eating out is a resort. A "hmm what will I eat? Oh I guess I'll just eat this.." because I can say that there is nothing that I am ever dying to eat.

However, in California, I have a list of places to go and pieces to eat. I think that's why I cook every day, almost every meal. I love love love going out to eat, and I have great restaurants just paces away from my door, but nothing is fabulous. Nothing makes me go "mmm". Nothing has me salivating.

Life is food. Or is food life?

Canadian geese part 2?

They're still here, still chillin. I don't even know if they are actually Canadian geese, but my mom calls them tha so I will too. I think it's pretty. I mean, they. I think they are pretty.

Drinks and pool at Stubriks

Pool with Natalie, RJ, and Frank was so chill. We were talking about how we loved that our relationships are still in tact, because most of us don't live in F-Town anymore. Yet, we'll always come back Home for the holidays/summertime and hang out. No matter where we are in life.

Then, of course, Kristen and Rachel came and got drunk because they decided to get the elixir of death aka a Long Island iced tea.

Free Shirley Temples, good conversation and almost kicking both of the boys' butts makes for a good night.

Let's go home, yeah?

There's no place like home

I think I'm secretly homesick. Secretly?

I've been eating these noodles that I've grown up eating at home lately and I just got off the phone with Momma a bit teary-eyed. She's really sick right now and hearing her frail voice made me want to go home this instant. I don't know how I last this long without seeing my parents. I honestly think the only way I can not be constantly homesick is to not think about them all the time. I know, that sounds terrible, but if I do, I'll fall apart. So now, as I type, tears continue to trickle down my face because I realize I will be home soon, but not soon enough.

I hope you feel better Momma.
