Ten more days til Christmas and one more week til the city of angels :)

I could say I have been procrastinating all day for my Nutrition final on Thursday, but I think it has been even worse than that. Not only have I spent most of the day napping, watching shows and being overall lazy. I have CLEARLY learned nothing from my nutrition class about trans fats, saturated fats, excess energy intake, and so forth.
Today's dietary intake include:
-2 slices of Pizza (ham + bacon + pineapple)
-Instant Noodles
-TO COME =D pop eye's chicken.
Really, have I learned nothing from nutrition?

This day definitely turned around for me. I have been uber stressed about graduating, applying for post graduate schools, trips, family, school, and all sorts of things. 
I am truly thankful for what and who I have in my life.

"Time passes, memories fade, feelings change, people leave, but the heart never forgets.”

The real question is whether reading this sparks positive feelings or negative.

blog to express, not to impress

This line stuck with me as I transitions through several blog hosts. My initial reasons for blogging were to improve my writing skills and form a style of writing, with the increase in number of bloggers and readers/followers, I think it isn't too hard to lose focus of writing for yourself rather than others.

 
Not much to report on my end, have a few phone calls, a skype call, and a letter to mail across the world. Although I can't make face time, I can definitely try to be together with close ones in one form or another. On another note, I think it is important to keep in touch with those that are not down the street, but people may lose sight of what or who is in front of them.

Hello America

I have been extremely  fortunate to have traveled to 15 countries which equates to about 9% of the world.

Four years have gone by so fast and only one more to go, I feel like I have grown and changed in so many different ways. I'll miss you Loo.
