Like the Ed Sheeran song ‘we keep our memories in our photographs’ I find photographs to be one of the best memory keepsakes because photographs are truly timeless. Since I owned my first camera (*after the constantly using those 1x use Fujifilm ones from the pharmacy stores) (σ`・∀・)σ I carried it along with me everywhere….

Speaking Korean in America (미국에서 한국어를 말하기)
How many of you speak a second language not native to your home or present country of residence? This is a snippet of my daily life. Since I’ve been back state-side I’ve been trying to upkeep my Korean language skills not only in convos and vid-chats with my BF and Korean friends, but also in…
Make-Up(화장품): Casual Days vs Special Days
As the summer days spike and fall I always feel like less is better when it comes to how much make-up I decide to wear on a daily basis. But compared to Korea summers in the U.S., especially in the upper northeast region, are very different. Instead of heat, intense showers, and dense humidity summers…
Courage to Grow (용기와 노화)
Less than two weeks ago I turned 28. My birthday was a quiet one this year. No birthday cake or evening celebration, just a quiet one with family for the first time in a while. Being a simple birthday this year gave me the chance to look back and reminisce about my louder, splashier, and…

요즙은 더운 날씨 왔어서 쉬는 날 있으면 집에 계속 있어요. 내가 집에 오전 때 기분이 좋아요. 자주 평일에는 너무 바쁘지 – 매일 일 있고 알바도 있어요. 나는 일으로 운전하되요. 제 평일 너무 바쁜 것 같은데 그래서 쉬는 날 있으면 집에 계속 있어요. 언제 쉬는 날 나오면 내가 음식을 요리하고 한국어를 공부하고 책을 읽고 영화를 보고 그림을…
Living in Sillim-dong: Seoul (신림동: 서울)
Looking through my last year summer album I came across some old photos of my last residential area in Seoul. As mentioned in another post I moved around a few times while living in Korea. Each residence I lived in was unique, however, my last residence remains one of my favorites. Signing just a 6-month lease,…
