US TV Anatomy

End of Semester is always Crazy with mountain piles of work to do. Its like quiz after quiz, midterm and more midterm, and endless term paper and assignments. I am surprised I still manage to keep my sanity.

Thanks giving is coming up!! I don't usually celebrate thanks giving (because i am so asian), but this year, I am going to prepare dinner with my roommate. 15 people on guest list so far, making a list of dinner menu including turkey, we are gonna have super traditional american thx giving :D oh ya.

anyhoo, does anyone watch tv series?? there are sooo many tv series in u.s. such as gossip girls, lost, csi, hero, simpsons,...etc. Too many that it is impossible to keep up with every thing.

There are two tv series I watch every week. Greys anatomy and Ugly Betty. I've also seen every season (except for 1st season) of project runway and Friends that ended long time ago. I don't know why I am in love with these shows. I tried watching lost (and I actually watched most of the episodes, until the most recent one), but I didn't become addicted to lost like my other friends who made the lost "album" and bought lost "script" off the auction.

I love ugly betty because I am into fashion, and ugly betty is all about life in major fashion magazine company. How about greys anatomy?? I guess I like it because Its not only about treating patients (by the way, i think surgery scene are very cool), but its also about relationships and life of interns, residents, and attendings.

As I watched the show, the characters grew into me. I feel connection with each of them now. I am still not that crazy about this show that makes me want to buy a script, but crazy enough that I MUST watch the new episodes every week.

I love how interns and residents "fight" for surgery. Working in hospital is all about competiton and outgoing the other members. It kinda make me think the reason why there are many great surgents in america is because, those people are very aggressive and they fight for the best.

They are Fighters.

If I wasnt into fashion, maybe I went to med school. I remember reading my mother's medical dictionary back in kindergarten. Hospital used to be my play ground too. After all, I guess childfood can also influence people's future.

Bean Town vs. Big Apple

I know many ppl know about this, but I decided to write about it on my blog. Boston and New York have been having rivalry for loooongest time. Especially when it comes to sports. They both have extremely strong teams and they always fight for the top place in U.S.

NFL FootBall

patriots vs. jets

NBA BasketBall

celtics vs. knicks

BaseBall

redsox vs. yankees

I just moved to New York and I got to know many ppl. Only problem is, whoever we meet in NY would be fan of NY sport team.

Recently, my roommate and I watch Foot Ball on tv. Ofcoarse, we support the Patriots. But my friends in NY are all Jets fan, so we we will be cheering for Patriots while they are cheering for Jets. Whenever Patriots win, we get all happy, Whenever Jets win, my friends get all happy.

I always feel like I am fighting at "away" game because I feel like the entire New Yorkers are against me. but whatever. I still love Boston and I will always support sport teams from Boston.

p.s. whenever random guys start talking to me at club, i start talking about patriots, celtics, and redsox. it will make them go away in like 2 seconds. trust me. it woooorks!!!! lol.

Chin-licious!!

No events these days. i am having very peaceful life :D

Yesterday after my morning class, I went straight to Manhattan (i had to see my friend off since she was goin back to boston) and shop around china town.

China town in manhattan was really fun! eventhough i went there for like 100 times before, i have never ever shopped there. it was really exciting!!! i was tempted to buy the i love NY t-shirt. i also wanted to get some dvd but $9 was too expensive for me. You can also get tons of fruits off the street. My favorite is Coconut Juice. sooooooooo good!!! I also bought tons of chinese breads @ this store where they sell breads and cakes.

anyway, totally changing topic. there is really nice store near my house. i always buy party clothing there very last minute because i can buy really nice clothing for like $30. yesterday, i bought this shirt. i love how dorkey it is.

i also bought economist. just wanna more in depth about political reform these days, especially the medicare part. i wonder how america is gonna acheive the universal healthcare.

oh! this is kinda random, but anyway, since my cousin gave a birth to a half japanese half african baby boy, i called my mom and tell her to name him barack!! thas realllly cool name to have! if i marry an american guy, i would name my baby boy barack too :D

East Village is a GREAT place for Young New Yorkers.



People go out to drink at bar with really great deals (like 5 shots for $20), Tattos & Piercing Shops are all over the place, you'll also see trendy street style clothing stores.

The best part about East Village is St Marks, the heart of East Village with Many many Japanese Restaurants and shops. The food there tastes "real", as in, it doesnt taste like those fake japanese food with chinese, american, or whatever mixed in to it.


I went to buy Japanese grocery the other day. omg i almost had a heart attack because the store had SOOOOO many foood!! omg omg. I was literally jumping around.

I shopped $*0 amount of grocery. I am so emberassed Im not gonna post the price, but I think I can eat for like a month. I even txt messeged my roommate at work because I HAD to share this happy moment with her.

I loooove East Village :D

oh! btw, do u have any idea what is "mario 64"? I used to play that game on n64, and I play it on ds lite now. People who never played this game wont get it, but ya, I think I know I am a true gamer when I get 150 Stars, with 7 stars on every stages, 100 coins on every stages, and 30 secret stars. It was difficult, but I did it!! and I am not proud of myself at all. I had so much time to waste in public transportation like bus, train, and even airplane. This is the way I kill my times and i totally killed it. I could have done other stuff like read newspaper, current events, ... and so on. oh well :D

First African American President in the US History!!

Today is Voting Date in America. I had school from 6 - 8pm but I couldn't stop thinking about the election (and even Professor also couldn't stop thinking about it. lol).

The 1st African American President!!! BARACK OBAMA!!! omg im soooo HAPPY!!!!!

I kept up to dated with the presidential election news since.... I dont even know when. For a long time!! I also studied some of their policies on Medicare and stuff like that. Barack definitely have much better policy, and I believe 60% of American thinks the same way (and most likely many more non-americans too)

I think its really great how US people are so concerned about election. On the other hand, many Japanese people don't care about politics, many of them dont even vote, especially the young ppl.

Medicare, Energy, Environment, Education, ... etc Obama has soo much policies to work on!! Bush's business plan failed miserably, I hope Obama will be able to fix the problems.

It's Time!

Project H

It was happy halloween in U.S. couple days ago. My first halloween in Big Apple.

Since I had no time to Costume shop during the weekday, I did last-minute Costume shopping. I was surprised to see line in front of the store. It was literally longer than line for club in Boston. I lined up for like 20 min just to get into the store, and spent like 10 min shopping for the costume.

I was planning to wear a geisha costume, but unfortunatelly, i couldnt find it. So i just picked a random costume (which happened to be a pirate). The thing is, I had no cap, so when i wore the costume, no body was able to tell what I am wearing. aww.

I was so exhasuted from the costume shopping I decided not to go to the Halloween parade. I joined my friends after the parade and we went bar hopping at Lower East Side.

It was great! The entire Manhattan was dressed in a costume, 99.999% of the girls are half naked because of their extremely slutty Costume, I saw this guy dressed up in Beer-pong Table too!! The funniest costume I saw was this guy wearing Green body suit and he was something to do with emission of gas. haha.

Now, my halloween costume is in the closet, and I am pretty sure ill never wear it again :D
