About Me

I'm an undergraduate at a University of California campus, double majoring in biological sciences and anthropology. My dream job was to become a physician, but soon I realized that was a bit unrealistic :( So now I'm hoping to become a successful physician's assistant and enjoying that as much as I can.

I love photography, baking, and failing miserably at making arts&crafts. I'm on the dragonboat team at school and enjoying it, thanks to my competitive streak. I'm a self-confessed band nerd, I used to be in marching band and miss it greatly sometimes. My dogs are my babies, I love them so dearly and wish they could be here with me, if it weren't for the sky-high animal fees at my apartment :(

p.s. I'm a closet Hello Kitty freak. My friends are amazed to find out I have tons of HK stuff at home. My room at home is pink. With hello kitty on the borders. You can imagine what that's like.

Favorite Music

-Jack's Mannequin

-One Republic

I'm actually a mix, those two are my top favorite as of right now though. I listen to some hiphop/whatever you want to call it, some alternative rock, some pop. Usually whatever is on the America's Top 40 list is ok with me. I also love instrumental music, it's calming for when I study :)

Favorite Colors!

-Blue. Any shade pretty much, but I cannot stand bright electric blue :( That hurts!

-Teal/blue-green. I love this color so much too. You should see my room!

-Brown + blue/teal. This is one of my favorite color combinations.

-Cranberry red, like the American Apparel jacket color. Not bright red, but a more... darker and sophisticated red. :)

-Gray, but not dark asphalt-like gray.

Favorite Books

I haven't read a good book in awhile :( I'm hoping someone here can change that! Here are some books I've read in the past that I've enjoyed though:

-Anything by Jane Austen & Edith Wharton. I.e. Emma, Pride & Prejudice, etc.

-Kite Runner

-10 Promises to My Dog. I admit, this book is originally in Japanese and I read it in the translated Chinese version, but it was such a sweet story about a girl and her dog. So I guess any book + dog is good for me :)

-Memoirs of a Geisha. Which is also one of my favorite movies.

-The Last Lecture

Likes :)

-Ribbon, nice paper (cardstock, scrapbook, stationery, origami), stamps, stickers, anything that can be used for scrapbooking :)

-Coffee & Tea. Except for hazelnut coffee, chamomile tea, and chai tea.

-Fruit-flavored things and chocolate; candy is always good :D

-Dogs!

-Music; music sheet or music in general

-Most cutesy things, i.e. San-X or "kawaii" items. This does NOT include Winnie the Pooh or Disney (with the exception of Lilo & Stitch and Up). Sorry :(

-Anything useful! :)

Dislikes :(

So here are some things that I don't like :(

-cats. I'm allergic to them, they are deadly to me. :( If you have cats at home, please try to avoid inadvertently shipping cat hair. I understand it's all over the place (I have dogs that shed), but at least let me know ahead of time that you have cats and I'll be careful when I open the package.

-I don't like hardcore rap, country, or screamo/metallic.

-Mystery novels, murder novels, and sci fi novels are not my thing. I'm sorry :( I used to love fantasy when I was younger, but not so much anymore.

-Yellow. I don't know why, but I really don't like this color... Purple is sorta meh as well, but if it's pastel purple I'm ok with it.

-Spicy food! I'm trying to work on my tolerance but it's hard for me!

-Skulls or anything morbid (bones, blood, etc.).

-Please refrain from sending me religious items.

-Please no ATCs

Comment: Amazing whimsy! Those fruit snacks are freaking delicious; the nail polish is pretty; Apricot White tea is one of my favorites; I've always wanted a star notepad and it's perfect because it's orange! Oh, and I love!!! the earrings! Did you make them?? Thank you very much for putting 'me' in a jar. It put a smile on my face.=D

Comment: Gosh, I honestly don't know where to begin considering the fact that I fell in love with everything you picked out for me. My absolute favorite out of everything, though, is the die cut apple and Hello Kitty key head. Honestly, that's got to be the cutest darn die cut (and apple) I ever did see. If you don't mind my asking, where in the world did you find it? If the apple is this cute, I can only imagine how cute all the other die cuts are! The Hello Kitty key head is actually the first I've ever owned. And, trust me, I've always wanted one. It's already placed lovingly on one of my keys - making me smile every time as soon as I whip them out, haha. The scented gel pens are awesome and smell fantastic. Considering the fact that I'm an artist, these will indeed come in handy. I'm very much tempted to draw an apple... that will actually smell like an apple! I've never really seen anything like the quilled fruit stickers, but I love them. I'm going to think very carefully on what project I'd like to use them on. I'll probably end up using them for a scrapbook page on the time I've spent in the Farmer's Market, though. It'll be perfect! And, of course, your recipe and the candies. I've not only been enjoying the candies, but beloved too. I've yet to try out your recipe - but, I assure you, I definitely will in the near future. I love to cook, haha. All in all, your package was wonderful and I just can't thank you enough!
