new resolutions.
sometimes I wonder why we bother to make resolutions. we - or at least I - always end up keeping it up for a month or so, and then completely forgetting about it as we get over the “new year high” and get on with our lives. it’s nice, though, to have goals, and I am not saying that you are incapable of attaining them. I’m not a debbie-downer, I swear! haha, but anyway, on...

thursday.
intense.
wednesday
I woke up today to my sister urging me to try making macarons again. so this time I went about making them with the easier technique, the french meringue method. I think I will always stick to this method, it’s just so much more simple. anyway, because my dried apples I had prepared the other day had gotten to be too sour, I decided to make those salted caramel apple macs another day and...
tuesday.
woke up today at 10. kt came over at 2. we baked til 6.
only two successes out of three attempts.
heart-shaped “icebox” cookies & tri-colored mochi! sooo good.
we tried to make salted caramel apple macarons but things did not go so well. :( but I promise you I WILL make these macarons. this is the only macaron recipe I want to conquer!
until then,
(:
last week of break.
it’s already my last week of break! soon I’ll be back to eating dorm food and waking up at 7am and being a college kid. I must make the most of this week.
monday: isaac came over and we were about to watch tangled at metropointe, but instead went to eat sushi during happy hour at kabuki with josh sharon and michael. nomnomnom. now we’re gonna bum it at home and watch a film on...
lomography.
so today I played with my new lenses, and it was a bit harder than I thought. just getting the adapter on and off the lenses took a lot of work. I still have so much to learn about how to use these lenses, and I’m so excited to use them on my diana+ and get photos developed. for now, here are my very few successful pictures from tonight. some have been processed.
telephoto lens. lights.

sleep-tumblering.
merry christmas, world!
I write to you as I lay on my bed, about to knock out. I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and open presents — I guess I’ll always be a kid at heart.
tomorrow’s plan is basically watching the kajillion nba games. (GO LAKERS. I LOVE YOUU!!!) and perhaps I’ll bake something yummy to munch on while we’re at it.
it doesn’t really feel...

it hurts to know that you have these pre-conceived notions that blind you from looking past the facts. there’s more to a person than money, their appearance, or whether or not they can stand up straight and tall and be a “man.” it surprises me how ignorant you can be, to say a thing that degrades someone so much. we were all nothing when we were born. helpless, infantile. it...
winter.
the rain isn’t so bad anymore. today the sun was shining so bright, as if it were saying, “did you miss me?” well, I, for one, do not miss the rays glaring into my eyes when I have to drive. in any case, this winter has been pleasant and mostly uneventful. but it’s nice that way. not having to do anything at all except wake up at eleven every morning, feeling a good...
sleep.
I really enjoy listening to the rain when I’m trying to sleep.
rain reminds me of the movie garden state. (:
goodnight.
thoughts.
I have this anxious feeling in my chest. it’s almost suffocating.
too much madmen is having its toll on me. one too many nights staying up late with my eyes glued to the screen.
there was a hysterically crying korean little girl, lost at the mall today. we took her to one of the security guys. I hope she found her mom. :/
I like the rain. but I just want new boots!
I haven’t had a...
