You know, that post on tumblr - this one, to be exact? Well, I did it this year! Really, from January 1 - December 31st, I kept a jar (alright, it was an unused tea tin) and every day after I felt something nice happened to me, I wrote it on a cut up piece of thin card, folded it, and dropped it inside. From the significant ("Got a job! Got into ( Read more... )

It's only two days until I begin my full time job...so today was pretty much my last day of thoughtless fun and frivolity. It began with waking up at the crack of dawn - just kidding, only around 8am, because my friends and I finally watched Monsters University. If you watch the first showing, it'll be half price, so...yes, we were there at 9am. It ( Read more... )

Oooh, it's been a really long time. But it's an appropriate time, because I have exciting news!!

I've been offered admission for an MFA in Creative Writing at HKU!!

YEP! I MADE IT! /dances ( Read more... )

Hallo there! It's been a while. Basically, I never felt motivated enough to report on my life until now (because I have the time, to be completely honest). Sorry about that; here's what's been happenin' happenin' so far in 2013

( Key events of the past, future, and present! )

Alright, Christmas Day. My parents aren't here, so I was invited by my best friend's family to have lunch with them, and since they're from Virginia, they go all-out hardcore 'Murrican Christmas dinner. It was fabulous. Turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole,  warm apple cider, pumpkin pie...just some of the dishes I stuffed myself with. ( Read more... )

I finally figured out what I want to do for NaNoWriMo!! I'll actually have the time this year. Won't be surprised if I don't finish it though, seeing how my inspiration is fondly nicknamed "the brick".

YES! I am going to take the plunge and try my 20th century China-set version of Les Miserables. It was an idea I had this summer as I studied ( Read more... )

Hello everyone, I'm back home =D

Basically I've spent the past few weeks just relaxing, meeting up with friends, and slowly getting in touch with people who may be able to get me a job. There's been more vegetating than jobhunting, I'll admit rather guiltily. Everyone has been telling me, "Oh, it's fine! You deserve a break after a summer of ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a very long time, hasn't it? My apologies! I've been quite busy for the past month and a bit...mini-vacations, horrible roommates, final classes, conventions, and moving out of Toronto. Yes. It's true. I no longer reside in Canada's most self-important city. :3 Stopping over in Vancouver to see some family, and then it's back to HK ( Read more... )

Hey all, this is a bit of an extraneous post and a way to avoid studying for my term test on contemporary Chinese politics for tomorrow morning.

A small portion of you may know that I write fanfiction, particularly a partially genderbent AU series. There are a lot of characters involved - nearly all - and I've gotten some reviews and messages saying ( Read more... )
