Korean food!

Last night Jessie and Laura invited me to go eat Korean food! Laura went on her mission to Korea. Its cool to hear her speak Korean to the people!
For dinner we had two different kind of pork, with garlic and lots of different sauses and soup and then we had fried rice with seaweed in it! It was really yummy and nicely spicy!
To eat the pork you take a piece of lettuce, wrap the chicken and all of the little extra things, like sprouts, sauses, and other things i dont remember what there called! but then you eat the whole thing!




It was cool in the middle of the table is this huge stove like cooker and they bring out all of the food and cook it at your table! After we were done with dinner we went and found a bakery in korea town and i got a chocolate whip cream cake! it was pretty tasty! Laura got a cheesecake and Jessie got some chocolate cake, Laura and Jesse's werent very good, apparently the koreans dont really use sugar, so it was dry and not very tasty :( mine was good though!!
Overall it was a really fun night! I love trying new foods!

Spring break

I got to go home for spring break! it was nice to play with my puppies and see my family!
During spring break i went to see dr. wong, dr. neil and dr. church! Dr. Wong needs more space so I have to keep my braces on longer :( but I think im ganna get my surgery done this summer! that is after Rome and before texas! as the plan is right now.
During spring break I saw lots of movies!! i got to see FIRED UP!! it is MY FAVORITE CHEER MOVIE!! i loved it! it was so funny! and awesome!! I also got to see Taken, that was really good! and i saw paul blart mall cop! that one wasnt as funny as i thought but it did have some funny parts to it! I also rented and watched Nick and Noras infinite playlist, house bunny and burn after reading!
Also during spring break i got to eat at The olive garden! Chevy's! burgerville!! yummy yummy! and a greek restaurant that dad took me to called Alexis! it was yummy too! i had lamb and kalamari! and soup and yummy bread! it was really good!

While i was spending some time with my dad I got an email telling me that byu had come to a decision about my application. My phone wouldnt let me get to the screen that told me what the decision was so I texted my sister and she told me that I was declined acceptance :( so sad. All my fun plans are ruined :( I am currently looking at other schools who's deadlines havent passed and that not only have good graphic design but have web design as well. I dont know if I can find any though :( I dont like living in queens, I dont like not having any good influencial friends, I dont like not having a kitchen, I dont like having to buy any water that I want to drink, I dont like how expensive it is to go to school here, I dont like my dorm and not having a nice place to sit and relax, I dont like that there's no 24 hour fitness to go workout at, I dont like that it takes at least 45 minutes to get into the city. I dont like that there is only one young single adult in my ward.The only part I like about being here is my internships! Im so lucky to have them! Its great to get and experience the art department in a big magazine! I have to say though I really want to get into web design!
At the moment I really frustrated on what to do about school and living here. Im busy thinking of ways to get out of queens and maybe into manhattan or back closer to home. well see what happens, as for now I guess my plans are to go to rome this summer, comeback in the fall, and maybe graduate next year. woohoo. well see....
The last thing I did over spring break was dye my hair! I dyed it darker and it turned a little ginger! hehe but I like it! it was either dye it or get bangs and i decided to dye it! I post a picture later!

I was totally dead for five days, I had a fever, 102.8 was my highest! and I had a sore throat with a cough and a stuffy nose. It was awful. I went to the school doctors and they gave me a prescription for Zithromax! it was only a five day dose, which i took and I still have a little cough and every once and a while ill get a stuffy nose, but I can tell its progressively getting better!
At mutual this week we watched the Other Side of Heaven! It was such a great movie for the girls to see! A lot of the girls were able to see it too! kadiatuo, christina,shontelle, cindy, and Marcy were all there!!
I've recently become obsessed with the bakery Crumbs!! they have amazing cupcakes! and I love them! So far I have had a cookie dough one! a devils dog one and a reeses one! They are amazing $4 cupcakes!
I'm at Men's health at the moment! I am copying illustrations from one cd to another cd! fun huh! I like all the people here at MH! they're all really nice! and great to work with!!
So I finished my BYU application. THe only thing that BYU needs is St.Johns transcript, which according to STJ its in the mail so hopefully they get it soon! Im very interested to see if I am going to be in Utah or NYC in the fall!

My saturday

I woke up with a temperature of 99.9, took some medicine and headed to the church to meet the girls. We waited a half an hour to see if anyone else would show up, but it ended up only being me and tatiana. So we traveled the hour and twenty minutes to get there. I ended up only doing confirmations, cause i didnt want to do the baptisms while sick. The people were really nice to tatina since it was her first time! we ended up doing it with a ward from manhattan. The temple is so different from the portland temple. It was cool to be able to go and see it though!! i took some pictures of the outside!!




And then after six long hours of traveling to and from and doing the stuff at the temple I got a present from my dad!! It was so sweet of him! It was a get well present since Ive been weirdly getting sick a lot this semester. It reminds me of what he used to do when we were little. In elementary school, me and my sister would get called down to the office and there would be flowers there waiting for us from dad! I'll never forget that! I think the last time he did it was randomly on the last day of Junior year of high school! which just happened to be me favorite year of high school! that time he got me a flower and a huge teddy bear! I love teddy bears! This time he got me a fruit basket! which is awesome!! And my first one ever! lol!! It came with oranges, tangerines, red and green apples, purple grapes and a lot of randomly wierd turkish candies all taped in a basket hand delivered to my dorm!! Isnt that awesome!! I was very suprised and happy! it was really awesome!! Thanks dad!! heres a picture of it, well i got excited and ripped it apart so heres the after pic! i didnt think of taking a before pic! i took it apart too fast!
