100th post!

I made it to 100th posts in this blog! YAY!

It's kind of funny starting this post after I just posted a post titled "Halfway Mark," but that post is a topic all on itself.

I started this blog over a year ago as a way to bring myself back into blogging. My blog reflects mostly my experiences. My thoughts or experiences might have triggered strong emotions within me or was something minor in my life. Either way, the memories that I posted about will serve as something that I can read about months and years later from now. And, I like that.

I am on tumblr too. But, I just don't feel that tumblr is the appropriate space for where I want to write about my experiences. I wanted a blog space that focused mainly on people updating about their lives, instead of what they found interesting so they decided to re-blog or re-post other peoples work. I also grew to feel a similar feeling about Facebook. I learned that not everyone wants to be updated on your pictures or statuses of what you do, so I limit much of what I share on Facebook. There's also a limit to what you can share in Facebook since it usually focuses on statuses that are a line or two and not in paragraphs. So, it would be very awkward if I wanted to make paragraphs of posts. And, I can't post pictures and texts the way they are in blogs into Facebook.

Through this blog, I have noticed how I have changed since I first began the blog. I have learned a lot. I realize things that I didn't take notice of before. I gained more goals in life.

I want to thank the people who have taken the time to read my blog, as well as those people who scrolled through a post or two. Although I might be silly, deep, or confusing, I'm glad you decided to keep on reading or viewing.

Thank you very much! Danke Schön! Merci beaucoup! Grazie Mille! Muchas gracias! большое спасибо, not sure how to pronounce this in Russian though. 谢谢!

Halfway Mark

Today, reflects the middle of my spring break. That means, I still have half of my spring break left.

So far, I have celebrated my sisters 15th belated birthday at Mikuni's. I watched The Ugly Truth with my sister. I watched Big Time Movie with my baby sister. I went to Target two times with my sisters. I ate about 4 trays of bread with my sisters.

I started on my job search and not stopping until I begin one. I looked at some state exams and have taken one and plan on taking more. I edited my resume and I'm still in the process of editing before submitting for a job.

I'm still worrisome of two of my classes from last quarter because those grades haven't been submitted to sisweb yet. I hope that the other Blockbuster in my area has The September Issue DVD and in working condition. I'm glad that my family want to attend my commencement.

I'm waiting for my friend to come back because on Thursday we are going to attend the Lady Antebellum concert. I'm waiting for Friday, so I can see Hungry Games and understand more about what people have been raving about.

I'm not waiting to buy like 9+ books for class next quarter. I'm not looking forward to walking to one of my classes around 8am. Yet, I can't wait for what spring quarter has to offer, including its exciting events and interesting lectures. It's my last quarter, so I definitely want to make it strong and the best!

Pho King IV

There is a new pho place in Davis, Pho King IV. Most people expected it to be better than the other place since it is a popular chain restaurant from Sacramento. It's also very close to campus. It's less than a 5 minute walk from the memorial union!


Yesterday, I went to Pho King IV. They opened just last week and are giving out sodas for the first two weeks of it opening. I got a coke for free! I ordered the Pho Ga. The noodle soup just looks simple now that I think of it. When I first looked at the bowl, I thought that the chicken looked old. They did give me plenty of chicken, like most other places and I tend to demand more noodles.The chicken also didn't include the skin. Nonetheless, I continued to eat since I was very hungry. Overall, this bowl of pho is what I would expect. Although, the chicken is something they could improve.


Since my first visit to Pho King IV, I been back a few times. I like this place because its close to campus and its pretty cheap. I also think that I like ordering the "tai", which is some steak. "Tai" actually goes well with the Pho Ga. Mhm... Now I'm craving pho,
