def have not been consistent w this 😃 the thing is, it’s not like i’m forgetting to write down my daily happenings, but it’s because there isn’t much going on in my life tbh :,) i spend most of my days at home since it’s so cold outside and my mother is afraid i’ll get sick like the rest of my sibs 🥲 i’ve been watching my fav show ofc vampire diaries, reading some romance ya from the library, got hooked on too hot to handle s4 (i love trashy realities tv shows), doing chores w my mom, driving the kiddos around… very lowkey not very interesting stuff but it’s nice. it’s getting a bit boring but also i told myself that i need to be bored during winter break bc i def didn’t allow myself to breathe very much during the quarter. so, i think this is a good thing for me. cant get over how beautiful alameda is during december. literally straight out of a fall episode of gilmore girls. the air is so chilly but so crisp here. i’m poor so i’ve been considering to go see sza, sabrina carpenter, + sik-k but i think i will have to prioritize bc my bank is low :,D seems like sza nosebleeds are the move rn. looking forward to babysit when i come back to la and having a sense of routine and independence again. i hate the feeling of having to ask my parents for money :( anyways, another chill slow day of doing chores today; probs gonna read or listen to a podcast :) hope you all are staying safe and warm <333

I FORGOT SONG OF THE DAY: nonsense by sabrina carpenter

last day of nov :o time rly does fly

i took my public health final and it went rly well!! i also finished my last assignments for that class so now i’m officially done. wish i devoted more time into it tbh bc i rly love public health, but ended up spending more of my focus on chem + writing this quarter :,( but still v good class i recommend

afterwards, i walked to tj’s to grocery shop! i needed to buy veggies bc i do not have any and i need nutrition :D ended up buying broccoli, mushrooms, stuff for breakfast. not too much bc i’m going home next week anyways lollll

i made lunch and it was goood. rice + broccoli + nem nướng, which is like one of my fav types of protein ever. reminded me of home :,) then, i ubered to my new babysitting job! the kiddo is two years old 🥹 so adorbs even tho he was rly shy hahahah still v smiley tho :] i’m excited to get to know him! i also met his grandma and dad who were rly kind. SUPER nice house in brentwood i was in awe. beautiful grand piano too! i’ll start in winter quarter hehe

then, i took the bus back to my apt and then went to the hill to visit kayla, gian, + steph for a bit! it was very good to see them since it’s been a while. they’re v v studious and focused so i didn’t stay for long :D they’re such champs. then, i met w jay for a bit and he swiped me a smoothie <3 love my twin. then i went to anderson to study w adi, and then jay came by after a bit too! it was pretty productive,, i rly like the library there it’s very peaceful. i’ll go again tmr in the daytime when there’s more sunlight. i listened to a lot of beabadoobee + cigarettes after sex for some reason. was in the mood ig LOLOL

kd

technically my time at home isn’t over yet but i wanted to hop on to tumblr w the kappas :) so here i am hehe.

i haven’t been home since september which doesn’t sound like an awfully long time tbh but for me it’s been a while. i missed my fam and my sibs a lot, so i was super excited to fly back. i’m sitting in my dining room writing this and it still doesn’t feel real. like whenever i go home it just feels like i never left :0 it’s such an odd, out of body feeling. anywaysssss i love fall in alameda bc of the changing leaves and the crisp air. like the bay weather is where i thrive i’m channeling my inner rory gilmore rn i’m so at peace. taking sm pics here inspired me to make a photo dump ig so i did FULL SEND :D subtle plug it is @_huongthy . that’s my viet name hehe. i like posting pics without judgment for my friends it’s so relaxing

i’ve been hanging out w my cuzzos and sibs a lot- walking around the neighborhood, grabbing boba, watching community + other movies. it’s always a good time w them. i also saw my childhood friends for a bit and imma hang out w them tmr too <3 we text and call all the time but in person is just different. OH YA i also watched black panther and i loved it. so sad and so good. still thinking about it now

i spent a lot of money on makeup today too. but i’m hyped for them to come (I GOT SAILOR MOON PALLETE) bc i rarely buy makeup so this is a bday gift for myself … ;) that’s how i’m justifying it at least. today was fish (that’s my lil bro btw for those who don’t know his nickname LMAO), but he was sick :,( poor boy. first day being 8 and he’s bedridden :(((( hope he feels better soon. we were gonna hang out in sf today but those plans fell through. i have so much schoolwork and studying to do sadly bc i have two finals on week 10 sjdhksjs but it’s ok i’m hanging in there. almost thereeeee :) i’m excited for winter break i’m literally gonna be back here within a week LMAO and the fam is going to oahu again and vegas as well. oahu is one of my fav places ever and fun fact i’m going w my friends for spring break too AHAHSHHAJA i’m practically living there this year. so crazy. and very looking forward to exploring da island w them. anyways this is EXREMEELY lengthy i bet no one is gonna read this far

love
