Christmas Morning Conversation
Dad: 你知道我特想吃啥吗？天津嘎巴菜。我在天津住了七年，有太多好吃的东西南边都没有。哎，你们喜欢吃驴打滚吗？
Mom: 好几年没吃了。。。 还记得咱么在Queens住时，法拉盛有个小店专门买天津小吃吗？
Dad: 还有那老豆腐脑。。。
Mom: 那儿的煎饼果子也挺好的！
Dad: ....走！
End: Drove all the way to Flushing to eat Tianjin street food on Christmas. Nomnomnom.

upennakdphi:
As my term comes to a close, and as I reflect on the amazing accomplishments we have had this past year, I am overcome with so many emotions –many I cannot even begin to describe. We have a tendency to execute, execute, execute and move forward, but that often leads us to…
It’s rare that we find the time to stop and reflect on all the progress we’ve made...

flashbacks
I can’t have my iTunes on shuffle anymore because listening to my old music makes me extremely unsettled inside. Apparently, scent is the strongest sense associated to memories, but there’s no aroma that’s been able to compare to that jolting sensation that I get when A7X or The Rasmus or H.I.M. or any of the beautifully angry music I listened to as an angsty preteen/teen comes...

8 fears
Failure. I’m getting better at this though - It’s a matter of realizing that just trying and putting yourself out there raises your chance of success! :)
Not being happy. [I refuse to be a cubicle monkey]
Being tickled.
Losing people.
My overactive imagination in the dark.
Having kids and not being able to tell them stories about the adventures I had before I had them.
This is...

The Cave of Two Lovers
They met on top of the mountain that divided their two villages
Their villages were enemies, so they could not be together
But their love was strong, and they found a way.
The Two Lovers learned earthbending from the badger moles. They became the first earth benders.
They built elaborate tunnels so they could meet secretly. Anyone who followed them would be lost forever in the...

Sunny days. Living in Philadelphia has really made me appreciate good weather more.
Happening to wake up early and discovering all the potential a single day holds.
Working with my hands: Baking (omnomnomnom), drawing, sewing, building that robot for POE back in sophomore year of highschool out of popsicle sticks and PVC pipe, MacGyver-ing
That moment when you’re walking by yourself, the...

Changing companies’ minds about women →
All too often in our experience, executives perceive women as a greater risk for senior positions, fail to give women tough feedback that would help them grow, or hesitate to offer working mothers opportunities that come with more travel and stress. Not surprisingly, a survey we conducted earlier this year indicated that although a majority of women who make it to senior roles have a real desire...

5am
Reading McKinsey Quarterly between bouts of productivity to keep me awake… Can’t help but alternate between “Oh, that’s an interesting way of looking at it” and “Thank you for getting paid to validate common sense”.
Mainly the latter.
Really? Getting an unbiased outside opinion is uber-helpful? Really?
Anyway, I think tend to take a consulting-ish role...

10 secrets
I’m narcoleptic and can fall asleep anytime and anywhere and in any position, especially during bumming sessions, especially in the middle of a conversation.
Ironically, I also think sleep is a horrendous waste of time.
My favorite thing to do is to curl up on the squishy leather couch at home with 10 pillows on it with an angsty book and read for hours and hours and hours.
