do you believe in evil?
because i don’t think I do.

in this past week i’ve had a couple people tell me that they saw the “asian version” of me or discovered my rap alter-ego or whatever. i’m always so surprised that people think of me at all… i just always forget that other people are observing me and evaluating me and thinking about me, just like i do about other people. if that makes sense.
Koi No Yokan (Japanese): The sense upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall into love. This is different than “love at first sight,” since it implies that you might have a sense of imminent love, somewhere down the road, without yet feeling it. The term captures the intimation of inevitable love in the future, rather than the instant attraction implied by love at first...
exciting things are haaaaappening
1) i can feel a more solid friend group beginning to form here. i’m so excited about my future roommate… she’s not only going to be a nice person to spend time with day in and day out, but i think she’s going to end up being a very close friend. life is good here, but it’s just going to get better
2) there’s a boy. it’s a little irrational, but also a...

My birthday was pretty damn perfect. Woke up to texts and calls from friends and families — got to talk to my cousin across the sea, my sister up north, and my grandmother. Saw some new friends and they were genuinely excited for me, so that was cool. Skyped my mom to open gifts and therefore got to see my dog who i’m obsessed with (but, for the record, it’s completely rational...
i quickly want to write about tonight so that i can remember it. the show went pretty well, my mom was there and so were a lot of my floor friends. i had a couple funny parts and didn’t feel as nervous as usual. the after-party was very sloppy, but also fun because i talked to a lot of different people. one girl was so so nice and i hope we become friends — she said all her guy friends...
don't you give in, you're beginning

my sister is my best friend. she’s the only person that i feel totally in sync with, and we’re so similar to each other in ways that we strongly differ from other people. spending time with her this past month was the best, and i was honestly sad to see her leave after dropping me off today to start my second semester. college just felt a little easier with her here. but i guess...
what a winter break. a few updates:
1) my uncle passed away and we just got back today from his funeral. very, very sad. seeing my mom and my sister cry makes me cry as well. the funeral itself was sad but very well done because my cousin did an excellent job speaking. i think it will be even sadder as the year goes on though — when he’s not there for my sister’s graduation,...
