.: yay!!! :.

Hurrah! I'm finally settling down! I've moved to a new house, so happy! It's a bit far from my school, but it's closer to the beach and Lake Merced. My room feels so cozy already, and I've started some small decorations... :) So I'll be waiting for you guys to visit me soon, mkay?!

.: luv blue :.

I'm trying to make my temporary-room tolerable, so I put on my new quiltcover and pillowcases, tidy up a bit... and open my new nigh-light! I think I will decorate my room in blue! So calming and pretty... despite with all the chaotic mess around it... I can pretend it's an Oasis, the place I ran to whenever I'm exhausted with my projects... :)

.: temporary relocation :.

Due to an unforeseen circumstances my landlord asked me to relocate temporarily to another room in the house ( a bigger one with bathroom inside, so no complains...) However despite I'm going to move into a new house this weekend, I haven't really packed, so here's what my temporary room looks like... (an organized chaos poy, really!) I got my warm comforter and bolster now, and my bed is so much more comfy than the old one, which means: more problems trying to wake up in the morning!!!

And look what I found at my local small grocery store: This carton-packaged Merlot! It actually taste good! The wine was on sale for 9.99, warms me up on cold night, and I used it for my school project. What a good deal!

.: so random... :.

My daily meal consists of these two:
Spicy Salt Squid (sometimes I substitute with pork) and Honey Walnut Shrimp
the reason why IKEA is one of my fave store:

How cool is this vintage buzzer?

.: have you seen this scarf? :.

MISSING : brown & pink H&M scarf
LAST SEEN : Emery-Go-Round shuttle

I really, really love this scarf,
so if anyone find another piece similar like this,
please let me know... :(

.: newfound love :.

I heart my new hometown! So pretty! So much things going on! I love the Hearts installment around Union Square... and I love hanging out around Union Square despite people said it's a tourist trap... I know I've been complaining about the school and the walk and the weather and blah blah blah... however I'm beginning to love the city :)

only a few yards away one smart bloke have the deck all to himself

.: warm & fuzzy :.

To commemorate 6 yr anniversary of 9/11, several buildings in SF flown half-staff flag.
It breaks my heart to remember the tragedy... :(

Gotta keep my feet warm everyday
You haven't been to SF if you never eat this

.: bee bonus :.

something that I found after I finished my BBQ pork rice, sorry if I ruined your appetite! :p

.: school is in session!! :.

Oh dear, I know everyone said grad school is hard but I thought they're just trying to scare me. Unfortunately they are telling the truth... :p I cannot believe I'm spending my holidays at the library and actually feel great about it *LOL* . Me, the nerd! Can anyone imagine that?? However I found the perfect consolation for my school blues :


Cute cuppycake shop at Bay St Mall in Emeryville! I know the pics are a bit out of focus, I guess I was already on sugar-high after eating these cuppycakes... *the raspberry one is YUM*

.: zara mania :.

I know I said no more shopping, but don't trust me on that. You know when I said those words I'm about to buy a lot of things ... and trying to forgive myself. But oh how cute are these!! Can't help it! Why zara have so many cute t-shirts lately ? :(

.: Schooltime! :.

It seems that this is typical SF mornings...

My future 2nd home for the next two years...

impressive work by a graduate alumni... flawless

.: A Good Day :.

What comprise of your 'good day'? Good weather? Made a sale? A warm hug from someone? These are what makes my 'good day' :
1. Starts with a good, strong cup of coffee
2. Good brunch at Mama's
3. Still fit in my jeans after brunch
4. Still can walk despite of my fat ankle and full stomach
5. Go to pretty places and museum with impressive exhibition
6. Remember to bring my cammie to take pic of pretty places
7. Good, fulfilling dinner and desserts
8. Good conversations with friends about almost everything
Aah... I hope this is a start for an interesting life ... :) So far, I love this city!
