Hello friends long time no update. This is what I've been doing this summer and what I've been doing post-MCAT. I made 汤圆 with Charlene and these were the only good ones HAHAHA and then we had a mini photo shoot with them. I got a polaroid camera and we found this cool wall in a park by my house.

HELLO friends this has been my week so far. I hung out with Sharon and took her to the two community colleges around our area. I really needed this study break and it was so nice just hanging out and talking about life. (but tbh tho how is she graduated already and now going to college??????????? idk) Hanging out with winnie because that's all I do nowadays. Well except this past week. The height of my social life this summer tbh. Got breakfast with Jessica (Amanda she was my sg leader freshman year!) and it was so good catching up with her. This was at the Rose Cafe in San Jose.  Charlene and I made 汤圆 with black sesame and it tastes really good! They were really hard to make because they kept exploding. These were the good ones that stayed intact. It's been a real struggle waking up for church and finding the motivation to go, especially because I will most likely be going alone. pls pray that I wake up feeling well rested and that I make friends there

IT'S ALREADY JULY and I feel like summer is already ending. Gotta savor these summer moments while it's still here. Here are some pics from last week, but mostly this weekend because I'm still in academic solitary confinement rip. I saw this while walking Winnie! The sun was bright red fam. Got to catch up with Promise and Pat last Saturday and this is obviously a normal conversation between us. Yesterday, I went to the Alameda county fair with my family and it was so fun!! Here are some pictures from then. At Hong Kong Cafe in Fremont! A classic Cantonese lunch: beef stir fry with porridge. Protip: eat before you go to a fair so you don't have to buy overpriced fair food. Unless you want fair food :) Mom doing the "thing" with the phone. This was at the horse race! My dad bet that #5 would win but he didn't place any actual bets. AND THEN #5 WON. LOL too bad. Look at this portrait mode quality HAHA me rn I finished reading th

BEACH DAY WITH AMANDA YAY at Muir Beach The dorms look so good after you don't live in them anymore beach day pt. 2 at the Hutch parking structure my own personal rainbow room Olympic National Park, hella foggy day, hella great views CRATER LAKE LOL aka first hiking day and I died woo Here are some snapshots at how the past two weeks have been! Summary of week 1: It was my last week in Davis, so I figured I wanted to spend time with people and say goodbyes. I got philz, started watching Autumn's Concerto, and got to sit with Amanda on the ground in our now very empty room lol. I think my favorite day that week was getting lost while trying to go to the beach and being v lazy and sitting on sand. Lol I also thought my car was dying because liquid was leaking out from under it, so I got that checked out. I guess it's also important to mention that I hung out with Roberto on Friday night before I left for Washington and stuff happened there that fol

Week 1 Recap: Promise

Can't believe week 1 of summer already passed. I tried to study last week but it was inefficient and unproductive. I think my body and brain were telling me that I need a break from finals. It was hard to delve straight into intense MCAT studying after a stressful finals week (and the quarter in general). I'm glad I listened to my body and gave myself some much needed rest. Instead of studying, I spent quality time with friends and family which was very valuable to me because as we grow older, it only gets harder to hangout with meet up with friends and family. Highlights of week 1 berries picking with AACF peeps (it was my first time picking strawberries ever!!) life-giving catch up & early celebration for Pat's graduation at the Temple The premed squad since day 1! Celebrating the fact that Anna and Michelle finished PHY 7 series woohooooo!! So proud of you two <3 It was another life-giving catch up. Also I really appreciate how I can bond with Mi

It's been a week since school has ended and I'm already waist deep into MCAT studying. Here are some of my favorite moments from the past week. We watched the world cup together at Alisa's apartment with Michael's "frocking projector" and it was pretty great. I ended up making pesto pasta and salad for lunch and we all got to eat and hangout at grad after.  Brisa 2757's grad party was also super fun! We took these pictures to commemorate our (f)ÚTBOL watching party. ÚTBOL feat. Joseph's face For father's day, I watched some of the World Cup with my dad and went to Tomi for a huge sushi/Chinese food buffet dinner. We waited for an hour but the food was super worth it. I wish I took more pictures! Will try to take more next time. lmao my dad picked me some flowers from that bush and then I put them in his pocket. o yea and I cut my own hair too whoops. It was 11:30pm and I thought "well when am I going to have time to go

Week 1: Amanda

It feels like its been forever since finals, I can't believe it's only been 1 week!  It's been really weird having time to relax over summer, since for the past two summers I've been gone right after school ended!  I have lots of work to do this summer, but none of it has gotten done yet 😆 The beach day with Christina was probably my favorite, I'm going to miss her when she leaves. I already miss you Michelle! It'll just be me and Promise this summer, we'll just go pick plums all day.  Can't wait to hear about your summers!
