It is time to...

Go home!
Yes, indeed it is time to head home. Its been almost four months since the last time I headed home. After a fast and eventful fall semester, I'm extremely excited for the holidays this year. I'm looking for to New Years Eve. New Years Even is a bigger event than birthdays and Christmas in my household. It is actually the biggest event in the entire year. Anyways, I still love the holiday spirit. The Christmas lights can't get any better in Hong Kong. Most importantly, I'm just extremely excited to spend time with my mother, the best person on this planet (yes, I love her though she can be a bitch sometimes. Oh, don't tell her I said that). Its been to long and miss her dearly.

On a side note, did I mention I really hate airports? Well, I do. Even though I find myself constantly returning to the airport, I really dislike it. Heres why:
Everything is so much more expensive
I always see it as a place of sadness, having to say goodbye to someone really gets to me. I've been a cry baby since I was born.
Security checks are ridiculous and takes too long.
It seems kind of funky.

There are a lot more reasons why but thats all I have so far.

But, I am extremely grateful to be able to go home for my favorite time of the year. Something is telling me that this is going to be a good one!

P.S: I'll probably be passed out when the Pats game is on tomorrow. Someone needs to keep a good guy of them for me.

Maybe This Christmas...

The one person who never fails to have the best holiday spirit is Seth Cohen from the O.C. Yes, Christmukkah is an awesome concept. It isn't a holiday season until you've watched at least one of the Christmukkah episodes. It never fails to disappoint. They really bring the holiday spirit and gets your excited about it. I wish I was as festive as Seth.

Heres a clip with the O.C holiday song with scenes from the Chrismukkah episodes:


Where can you get one of those Christmas sweaters that Seth wear? I think they're awesome

Its been a While

So, it has been quite some time since I last updated. School has really gotten me running awhile. Not the end of it yet but definitely have some breathing room for now.

But, its the holidays!

Anyways, things I have been up to lately...
*upgraded my phone! Now, I don't have to complain anymore. I'm actually not as enthusiastic about my new phone as I was when I first got the iphone 3 over 2 years ago. And, Siri needs help.


*made my own sweet potato casserole. I love the idea of it with marshmallows on the top. I really liked baked marshmallows. I think thats what really gets me to want some of it. I might as well just put marshmallows in the oven instead. But, it was fine the first time. Definitely need to work on it.


*Gotten into the holiday spirit but putting up some lights in my apartment with a few decor.


*Bought myself a mini tree. Well, its a rosemary plant shaped like a Christmas tree. You can even pick some off for cooking and such! Its got a name, I named it Mary.

*Went to the ferry building in SF and ate a place called Gotts. I supposed it was good but I don't know about the prices. But, there were a lot of things I really wanted to get at the building. I got some gingersnaps from Milettes. Its a cute little bakery. Definitely need to go back to look some more.

*Satisfied my craving. Wingstop. I have recently grown a love for this fast food though I know its never good to eat that stuff but it is much too delicious not to go! Garlic Parmasean is the way to go.



*Went to Phil Sliders. The homemade ginger ale was interesting. It was a little too sweet for my liking but I really like homemade sparkling drinks so that would do. We had the regular and portebello slider.The sliders were delicious though many claim that tater tots are the best. I guess they're pretty good.

*Obsessed with pinterest. I love looking at it, especially when I'm bored at work. I shall share some of the things I really like really soon.

*I got some holiday movies. My all time favorite: Elf and Home Alone. You can never go wrong on those holiday choices.

*Online shopping? I don't know whether thats a good thing or not but I'm getting really into it.

*Cheering on my favorite team in the world! Patriots. Keep it strong as the regular season is coming to an end. Check below for the most updated post about the Pats.


Here's a bunch of random pictures recently with my iphone. I'm really liking the camera on my new phone though:

That me in my holiday home outfit. I guess I like playing dress up. I just really wanted a robe. lol Sorry, I look like a mess.

Xuemin insisted that I use my phone to take a picture of her with those lanterns. Hola, Jan. I hope you found your way to my blog.

Thats me and Mary!

Happy Holidays from the weirdos of #49!

Thanksgiving

Lets hope big bird is still alive after tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Theres lots to be thankful for this year. Ready to munch up some delicious foods. I always love Thanksgiving because its the start of the holiday season. Its my favorite time of the year!
Have a great one!

Ticking Off the List #1

Chai. This stuff is pretty delicious especially at night, before bed. Its actually straight out of a power mix from TJs. The Spice Chai Latte. Yum. Its going to be great with baked cookies.

Going to go get some lights and candles this weekend. This holiday is going to be in full swing soon.

The only thing thats in the way is the finals next month and all the bunch of work I'm going to have to complete before completing half of those things. Don't even wanna think about it.

It has Finally Come!

The winter has finally come! Close those windows, turn on those heaters and cuddle up! Pull on those coats and scarfs. Its also time to get on the holidays festivities! I'm going to be checking out Martha Stewart's website for some awesome holiday projects. This is one of my favorite times of the year.

Awesome things to do for the holidays:

• Listen to holiday music. One of my favorites the last few years is Last Christmas.
• Put up Christmas lights.
• Get Holiday candles and light them up
• Watch holiday movies. My all time favorite: Home Alone and Elf
• New: Make Peppermint Bark
• Look up fun holiday projects online.
  
• Go look at Christmas lights (at home)
• Go home and hang out with family.
• Attend family's New Years Eve Extravaganza.
• Especially this year: Hang out with Sneha at home.
• Take in the winter air. It always feels extra special.
• Do some holiday shopping.
• New: Make a paper wreath?
• Put on a festive holiday sweater.
• Drink up all the apple cider, hot chocolate and chai.

Did I miss anything? I probably did but I'll keep adding to it.
