being girly

in celebration of the end of block 4, i changed out of sweatpants! shocking. =)

i also got a free makeover from an experienced professional. thanks, jen!

more post block 4 pictures are posted here.

wangela’s wedding

i’m still sorting through my 10 million pictures, but here’s a little teaser for now:

congratulations, mr and mrs yu!

[edit]

am i the only one that thought pineapples grew on trees?!

apparently… they grow in the ground. who knew?!

the rest of my pictures are on picasa (here and here). enjoy! =)

happy birthday, sheri!

wangela’s bachelorette party

dancing + liquor + cute boys + truth or dare (haha) = perfect girls’ night out!
   
i’m quite certain marriage won’t tame this girl one bit… luckily, she’s found her perfect partner in crime.

housewife points

with most of the previous front-runners now off the market, i think i stand a good chance of winning this year’s most eligible housewife title! especially since i somehow miraculously managed to cook up this:
 
10 points for homemade bibimbap (substituting tofu for bulgogi). it even tasted almost as good as my mom’s!
actually, to be fair, i will subtract two points b/c i served dinner out of disposable tupperware (i need to invest in bigger bowls). so… 8 points total. not too shabby!

the last frontier

 
 
 
did you know that bears don’t poop at all the whole time they’re hibernating?
i might have gone my whole life w/out this exciting knowledge, if not for this trip!

other vacation highlights include… seeing bald eagles, whales, glaciers, and sled dog puppies (mush! mush!), learning how to read totem poles, eating all you can eat desserts every day (blub blub), and of course, spending time w/ the bestest momma in the whole wide world!

i should be cramming for pathology and epidemiology right now… but i decided posting pictures would be a better use of my time.



only three more days until i’m officially done w/ my first year of medical school!

forever 21

saturday was girls’ night out… this time with a twist! we met up at forever 21 and divided into pairs. then we picked out outfits for each other, the only rule being it had to be something we wouldn’t normally wear. the results? everything from hot pants to high school homecoming… all for ~$20!

thanks to my bestest ladies for yet another fun girls night out. *muah*

happy new year!

in 2008, i’m going to reprioritize and focus on the people/things that really matter. one of the many things i’ve learned since starting medical school is that free time is a precious commodity! there just aren’t enough hours in the day, and the time i used to spend on things (in the context of my previous priorities) just isn’t possible anymore (given my current schedule).

so… here’s to cutting out negatives, focusing on positives, and finding the right balance. wish me luck!

and of course, since no one likes posts w/ no pictures… here are a few random ones from winter break.

happy new year, everyone! best wishes for a happy, healthy, wonderful 2008.
