Thanksgiving and the VAMPS

Hi all! Hope your thanksgivings was filled with blessings, family, and friends! Mine definitely was. It was also the time I first drank alcohol! Whoot! Disclaim: I am not an alcoholic! My friend bought me vodka, but sadly, it was so strong and bitter...I'm really a girl...I like champagne. haha. Anyhow, I had so many Asian potlucks and stuffed myself well. It's probably time to go on a diet now, but isn't that how all (at least for me) holidays are like?

Now that I'm back, I'm suffering from a case of I-don't-want-to-study-anymore syndrome. I have a couple days of class left and then finals... So due to my "syndrome," I went to my first J-rock concert yesterday! I was so excited; I loved the atmosphere and the pumping of my heart. The band was called the VAMPS, which was started by Hyde from L'arc en Ciel and KAZ from Oblivion Dust.

Now Here's for some artistic interpretation of the venue: House of Blues~~ I took them while waiting for Vamps to come out. I promise I was paying attention, lol!

Beachy beach

Hi all! Ahhh...I've been so "busy" recently. Everything fun just kept popping up! No real exams or projects, but a lot of events!

This year I joined the Traditional Chinese Dance (TCD) club and we went on a retreat last weekend! It was an amazing time of fun and bonding! The beach was so beautiful and the weather was amazingly warm. 

I've never done Chinese dance before, but it's a lot of fun(and super hard!). We learn to dance with fans and umbrellas. Super beauty dance form!

Anyhow, here are the pictures from the retreat!

Patterns

Recently I've become interested in patterns! It's very difficult for me to think of, but these are three of them. Haha, this is what I do when I don't pay attention in class...bad, bad, bad.

Blessings from friends & family

Monday and Tuesday has been so hectic, a whirlwind of exams and papers! I thank God that all these trials (of finding time to spend with my lovely, wonderful, and amazing parents from out-of-state and studying for exams) passed smoothly. Truly God is good and faithful to His people.

Again, today, I was reminded of how loving He is and good my life is. I have amazingly, super awesome friends and family. They are so kind hearted, sweet, and loving; I don't know what I would do without them. They are my rock and support! I'm shocked by all the things they secretly planned for my sister and me. Now I have two cakes and a batch of brownies in the fridge, a cute handmade monkey (year of the monkey! who's with me? Whoot, whoot!), a bunch of balloons, and some pinatas!
