Tagged | 30 Random Facts About Me

First post for 2014!
Thanks Kar Yi for tagging me!
I haven't done a tag post in a loonnngggg time. But I figured I should sit through and type it all out before I get distracted with other things. This should be fun!

30 Random-ish Facts about Me:
1. I am an over-thinker. It takes me forever to start to do or say anything because I try to think of all the consequences.

2. So I am also very indecisive. I almost can never decide what I want to eat/do because everything looks interesting. Or the 'consequences' I come up with end up talking me out of it. Then I tend to stick to the safer/more routine options.

3. But I like and want to try new things (as long as it isn't TOO risky).

4. I have a long list of interests as a result. But don't keep up with as many of them as I would like to. (New year's resolution?)

5. These are reasons why it took me forever to decide on a major. But hopefully, things turn out well. Even if it doesn't, I have come to terms with the idea of not living a 'great' & 'well-off' life.

6. I finally decided to be a Marketing - Advertising major (with a heavier focus on the digital side). Along with being a Graphics Communications and Computer Info Systems (with e-biz and web design focus) minors. Ehh ... not sure why I did this to myself for my last 1.5 years of college, but I think they are all interesting topics.

7. I get very attached to things and people.

8. I have a lot of 'junk' that I think is sentimental. (Like my grandma ... well used to.)

9. I fear of being judged (whether good or bad). I don't like it when people judge me or anyone else. Yet I subconsciously do it all the time. (New year's resolution?)

10. I don't like feeling awkward. But I find myself feeling awkward often. Maybe that's why it's hard for me to meet new friends? Or start and keep conversations?

11. Perhaps a combo of #9 & #10 keeps me from sharing my blog & social medias with people I know in real life?

12. I tend to act like a kid ... a lot.

13. When I am determined ... I fully devote my attention to it and can lose track of time easily.

14. I think I have a lot of patience?

15. But I also get irritated and angry quite easily... (go figure!)

16. I am very emotional. Sad things/fear make me cry very easily. So it probably isn't the best idea to watch a sad movie/TV show with me unless you want to see me bawling my eyes out with a tissue box in hand.

17. When I was little, I wanted to be a teacher because I really love little kids.

18. In high school, I really had no idea what I wanted to be in the future. Some things I listed were interior designer, architect, photographer, and entertainment related (whether in-front or behind-the-scenes).

19. I haven't been outside of North America in 19 years. If things go well and I get to travel next summer, it'd be my first time back in Asia in 20 years!

20. I'm a total homebody. I don't mind just spending my time inside, even if I don't do 'anything'.

21. That being said, I do like to and want to go explore new places.

22. I have been wanting to go to Korea since I was in middle school.

23. I have thought of living/working abroad before. But don't know what I would do there...

24. I sometimes wish I had the courage to do something YouTube related. Not for the fame, but for the more relaxed/do-whenever nature of it.

25. I love to bake and cook. But tend to fail at it most of the time. Practice makes perfect? ... !

26. I am a total night owl. I like to have things done before I go to sleep (or take a nap in some most cases) rather than leaving things unfinished and trying to wake up earlier to complete it.

27. Being a procrastinator doesn't help #24. But I found that keeping lots of lists (everywhere) and a planner helps a little bit.

28. I try to be a perfectionist. Though...sometimes it gets to the point where I have to tell myself to not be.

29. I think I underestimate myself a lot?

30. The future ... My future scares me. Especially since I don't have a concrete plan & am just taking things as they go. (Probably not the smartest idea though.)

Anyways! Here's to 2014!
Hope some of these weren't too personal.

I am not sure who to tag... So I'll leave it open for anyone who wants to share a bit about themselves!

Cute Blog Award


I was tagged by Kar Yi from AngelicBetrayal. Thank you sooo much!! & Visit her blog!! Who'd have thought my blog would get a cute blog award :P I didn't...especially when I don't even update often hehe...=X

For this award you:
1. Link back to the person who nominated you.
2. Answer the award questions.
3. Tell something about yourself you haven't told anyone on your blog yet.
4. Award as many blogs that you think are worthy of this award.
5. Make sure you let those you gave the award to know that you awarded them.

Award Questions:

1. What is your go to makeup product?
I tend to wear very minimal makeup on a day to day basis. Enough that not many people even realize I wear makeup at all xD I tend to reach for a illuminating base (from Beauty Credit) and powder (usually I wear my MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural but I've been recently trying out my new Canmake compact for the past few days) if I wear any products at all.

2. What was your favorite fashion trend of 2011?
To be honest, I don't follow the fashion trends. When I shop I wear whatever I feel most comfortable in (hoodies, T-shirts, & jeans). I don't know what the fashion trends of 2011 were but I really liked the sheer blouse look...that I sadly cannot wear with my chubby figure =\

3. What is your favorite dessert?
I LOVE desserts! But have to stay away from them now for the better of my health ^__^ I really like cakes/cupcakes. My ultimate favorite desserts are probably anything with red bean in it, particularly 紅豆沙 hong dou sa...wiki calls it red bean soup. Any other red bean lovers? ^__^ Apparently it runs in the family! My cousins from my dad's side also loves red bean! I didn't believe in such things before until they mentioned it.

4. Favorite color?
PURPLE!! I hope someone noticed from my blog name hehe Although I tend to wear pretty plain colors (black, white, grey, navy...very boring!) I'm not a risky person >__>

5. What is your middle name?
I don't have a middle name.

6. What was the last song you listened to?
The very last song I 'listened' to was something that was playing at the gym & I don't remember what it was because I wasn't paying attention. So I'll share the last song that played on my phone (I use it as a music player, multi-purpose :D)...Everyday by Hwanhee (환희)

Something about myself:
I think I've only told this to one (or two) people in the blogging world...I'm a HUGE k-pop and korean dramas fan/lover/follower! I think it started when I was in middle school? Either I stumbled upon it while reading fan-fictions with k-pop idol characters or bestie brought me into it with Super Junior and DBSK. Whichever way, now I can't seem to get out of it =X 2NE1, Big Bang, WonderGirls, 2PM, 2AM, SNSD, IU, City Hunter, Secret Garden, The Greatest Love, Running Man and many many more...I listen to them all. Not too much of the newer and younger ones though (I'm jealous...and they are getting too young!) xD Since college started, I can't follow dramas and the new song releases as much but it's a great way (for me) to relieve stress! Although I've got to say...I'm not updated as bestie! She's always very informed at what is happened in that department :P What I would do to be able to visit Korea...!! *Embarrassed hehe

Happy Valentine's Day!

and...

One year mark for me since I got my braces off! ^__^ How exciting. Exactly one year! After around 3-4 years I finally was able to get it taken off last valentine's day.

Also!!!

I was tagged last month by Tammy to do a color tag. It was hard because I don't have many red objects in my room. So a couple of days ago when I finally had the time to, I searched high and low and dug through my things and found some red things to show you guys :] It's not very exciting though, please bare with me!


A heart nightlight that I got when I was maybe...8 or 9 from Ikea.
*Shh don't tell anyone but I'm afraid of the dark! :X


A heart pillow that I think I got from a street fair a couple of years ago.
I have too many stuffed animals and such to remember where I got each one from!


Minnie & Mickey that I got from Disney Land in California 2 years ago during spring break. The first time I went to Disney and the first time I was with my family in California :]


I cheated. The stars aren't red, they're pink. But the bottle I promise is red! I use to fold a lot of stars. I have accumulated too many to continue that hobby.


A very cute stuffed animal that my friend gave me for Christmas in middle school. It isn't red but it's collar and tag is! Who doesn't love to see cute stuffed animals?! :P

Now I tag anyone else to would like to do it :]
The color I choose is...purple!

Oh I'm a terrible blogger! I have so many things I said I was going to blog about and NEVER ended up doing it. My bad procrastinating habits are showing even online! Before I totally forget about this, I was tagged by Treasure Trove of Makeup to do 7 facts about me :] I felt so special & excited, my first tag. I really gave a lot of thought into it, hope it doesn't bore anyone.

1. I have lived in NYC all my life. An exciting city (I guess), but I think there's still a lot of places I haven't been to that everyone from out of the city has probably been to.

2. I'm very shy around people I just met and even to my teachers who I'm with for about 6 hours 5 days a week with. But when I'm with my family and close friends, it's a whole different story :]

3. I'm chinese. My family speaks Toisanese (is that how it is in English?). But I'm very into Korean and a little bit of Japanese culture. My parents think I'm a little weird for being so interesting in other cultures. Especially when they hear me listening to music that's of a different language :\

4. I'm a big kid. I think everyone is inside. Just to shy to show it to everyone? I don't know. But I personally would watch Disney movies, cartoons, & other movies targeted towards children over other movies. That doesn't mean I don't love comedies and action movies though. ^__^ Oh yeah, I can't stand scary movies. Yes, half the time it's totally fake. But it seems so real, I get nightmares!

5. My very first roller coaster ride was during my 8th grade senior trip to Six Flags. My friends all wanted to ride the Nitro, so of course they dragged me with them. It was terrifying! But a fun experience (at the end when I got off). I still can't believe my very quiet friend who sat next to me, did not scream or even make a noise next to me!

6. I'm a very indecisive person. If I go out to eat, 99% of the time I will not know what to order. Also as of right now, I do not have a clue on what I want to major in or what career I want to be in when I grow up. And I have to make a decision on what college to go to by next year! Ahh, so stressful.

7. I love to use smileys to express how I feel when I'm typing. So if I comment and you see ^__^, >__<;;, :], etc. don't mind me. It makes me feel like I get my feelings across :]

I think I jumbled lots of facts into those 7!

I tag: 1. Catalina of cl2425
2. Jennifer of lifeandlensofbeauty
3. Maggie of The Polka-Dotted Apple
4. Mona of Make Me Blushhh
5. Mel of LaBelleMEL
6. Christy of w0ngturn
7. Tammy of tummycake
