“Wow.. we are all totally still here”
– Sandy, because me, her, and Sarah Lee are still sitting in our apartment in Berkeley watching Anastasia on the 21st of December
my trip to santana row: a flurry of feelings
Yesterday my mom and I visited our (or probably just my) home away from home— Santana Row. It is a fake outdoor European shopping arena and I am in love with it.
However, our most recent trip was marked by an unusual amount of emotional turmoil and highs and lows. Let me explain
Curiousity: as I noticed a mass of people lined up to see some sort of spectacle/production
Awe and amazement:...

My mom sent me another email from China saying, “Jane’s parents took us to the Panda Reproduction Center. We saw big pandas, small pandas, and baby pandas”
When I asked my work supervisor what to do about my future, she responded, “Sarah, life is like a box of chocolates. Just pray.” Then she continued to say, “All I want is for my children to be happy. And...
um what
Joseph Yim: Is that a puberty ring on your finger?
Me: ....... do you mean purity ring?
Joseph Yim: Oh yeah sorry. Puberty's just easier to pronounce
I would just like to tell everyone that one of my coworker’s names is Britney Spears.

things i need to stop doing while i drive
Read text messages
Compose text messages (some have been paragraph-long)
Sing so loudly I can’t hear when people yell at me through my open window at the intersection (sorry Ronnie)
Check for all my split ends
Browse through the Crewcuts catalog
Clap along during song interludes
Brainstorm music video ideas I could do with my apartment
Look at myself in the mirror and discover Erina...
“HOME IS WHENEVER I’M WITH YOU!”
God, You are hiLArious
I think God has really been calling me to be still again, and to be quiet, and to know that I don’t have to be God, and that really, everything is okay.
So this morning when I woke up, I discovered that I had lost my voice! Which has made being still and quiet very easy so far
things that made today not as gray
Vicky Nguyen, a vanilla latte, and life-giving conversation!
Going to Berkeley Bowl for the fourth time this week… I believe this has turned into an obsession
“Studying” with Lana, ie talking about rainboots and Jewish men for 3 hours
The art that is Macy Grey’s hit single “I Try”
The Pride and Prejudice soundtrack in my car (thanks Audge)
Sandy sculpting...

“I like Green Giant corn, corn on the cob, baby corn, corn soup, fresh corn, big...”
– Daniel Chui
some things to celebrate
1. If I had to choose one thing that’s made working at J.Crew worth it, it’d be buying my dad this cardigan-collar shirt set. I think he blows some of our catalog models out of the water
2. We had the privilege of accompanying Andrew Jopson when he finally used up his $75 Yogurt Park gift certificate from freshman year… he said he barely spent it on anyone but himself. Someone...
today, the heat nearly killed me
but then again, so did these conversations
Sara Fong: Are you a mama’s boy?
Matt Kim: What the heck is that

Sara Fong: I really miss wearing my head lamp
Me: Wow.. what did you use it for?
Sara Fong: Reading in bed
i want a little girl child
because last night, CKC watched Monsters Inc. and then Annie (the musical) directly after
Boo and Annie, one day Zoe and Sadie will be just like you
this morning was great because
1. I prayed for a joyful morning and got one!
2. I finally took care of my street sweeping parking ticket… no thanks to you Officer Randle
3. I painted my nails a nice shade of lavender with gold sparkles. If this color combination had a name, it would be “Teenage Dream”
4. And I found out I have the privilege of eating dinner with May Lee and Jon Chou tomorrow evening. Life...
jeff, audrey, and eunice (kwon) were bored
so they thought it’d be cute to make me a profile on Christianmingle.com (without my consent)
This morning, I confronted Eunice about it:
Me: Dear Eunice, I am getting weird emails from christianmingle.com… make it stop
Eunice: Dear Slin Slin, I think Jeff has your password. But please keep an open mind. You’re not getting any younger.
this was in my inbox

spotted: clarence the kind-hearted ici ice cream server parting ways with his tall, african american friend at the intersection of dwight and college. they exchanged a bro handshake and said their goodbyes. he then proceeded down dwight towards benvenue, backpack slung over one shoulder.
time of sighting: approximately 4:50pm conclusions: -he’s younger (most likely) -he...

i'm so 2000 and late
but last night, I watched Avatar for the first time (shout out goes to Ivan from CKC and his expansive Samsung desktop)!
I seriously think I’d rank it as one of the Top 30 Movies I’ve Ever Seen in my Life… I honestly cannot stop thinking about the magic that is Ewah and the Tree of Souls or how badly I wish I had face freckles that looked like sky constellations.
Pandora, I...

Brian Young: You guys are going like 3/4 of the way if you're driving to Milpitas
Me: You're worth it
Wow that came out so romantic
Sorry
Brian: Don't be sorry
I'm going to soak that in in its fullest
“Wait, aren’t sardines vegetables?”
– Jacky Wu…. who’s actually surprised?
daniel chui is my hero
When they were working on their econ problem set:
Christina: Don’t you hate it when you skip a problem and it messes up the spacing in the end?
Daniel: Wow, someone’s a little A-C-D
Christina: ….. it’s OCD

what? i can't hear you
My conversations (or lack thereof) on Sunday proved that I am aging and my hearing can no longer be depended on
Judy: Enjoy your life!
Me: … enjoy your life too!
Judy: Oh.. I said enjoy your lunch
